Love the Boss: Billionaire Romance (Managing the Bosses Book 4) (5 page)

She glanced over at him and let his warm smile bring her back down. The situation did look a little off, but it wasn't at all. She and Mark were friends, and even though Alex wasn't normally the jealous type, his brother just seemed to bring something out in him.

"I'll eat and go, and yeah, Jake can stay with you for the night. Just make sure he comes back up to the house tomorrow morning. The heater is weird down here. It works most of the time, but sometimes it gets a little cool. Jake’s much too delicate for the cold." She ignored Mark’s raised eyebrows as he looked at the big fur-ball spread out by the fireplace. She ate a few more raviolis before downing her glass of wine and getting up. "Well, sorry it's not a better welcome, but welcome. I'm glad you're here."

Mark winked at her. "Me too. It's going to be great. Thank you for a fantastic first meal. Tell my brother I wish he could have joined us."

"I will." She grabbed her coat and waved just before walking out into the freezing cold. By the time she made it back up to the house, she was full-blown pissed again. Mark was sitting in the apartment alone, eating his dinner, wishing Alex had been part of the evening.

A growl left her as she slung the door open and let it slam behind her. He should know just how much of a jerk he was being. No one deserved the butt of his actions, and yet he didn't care who suffered them. Just as long as his precious company was fine, all was good.

She stopped at the door to his office and pressed her hand to the door frame as anger burned through her. He stood at his desk, his head bent and shoulders rounded. He was looking at something, but she didn't care.

"You're an asshole. You know that?"

He nodded and turned, his face sorrowful. The white stone she'd given him for Christmas was between his fingers. He rubbed it slowly and let his eyes lock with hers. "I know. I'm sorry. Seeing you with him—"

"No! You don't get to blow this off." She walked in and pointed at him. "You were a total ass to me at the office today. I know you were upset, but I only wanted to help. Then you blew up at me again and—"

"I know, Jamie. I'm sorry. I'm under a lot of—"

"Pressure,” she snapped, cutting him off again. “I get that, but stop using me as your punching bag." She moved close to him poked him in the chest. "The worst part is that your little brother is here, Alex. He's here and is trying to start a new life in your shadows. Do you think you could stop your rise to godhood for one damn minute and show him that you care? That's all I was doing tonight. I was showing him that—"

She didn't get another word out as he reached out and pulled her against him, locking her against his chest as his arms tightened and his lips pressed hard against hers.

Jamie fought him for a minute, but lost the battle as his tongue plunged deep into her mouth.

The taste of him rolled over her, and she groaned, sinking into him and letting her anger roll into passion, desire, need.

He moved back a little and brushed her hair from her face as he looked at her longingly. "I'm a dick. Forgive me one more time. I'm working on it. I'll take Mark out for breakfast tomorrow, okay?"

"Promise?" She nipped at his lips. "And no more being an asshole at work to me. Testy, fine. Upset, fine. Angry, not so much."

"Promise." He licked at her mouth. "Where's the puppy?"

"Down with your brother." She ran her fingers thought the soft chestnut hair at the side of his head. "I've missed you."

"Not as much as I've missed you." He brushed his nose by her jaw and pressed his teeth into the side of her neck before licking just in front of her ear. "Let's not waste what little bit of time we have together."

"Agreed." She moved back and tugged at the front of his pants. "But, for the record, I'm still mad at you."

"You should be. I'm glad you left." He followed her out of the office into the living room and through to the kitchen. "Did you really get you some new stuff on my credit card?"

"No. I came home and got dinner rolling with Mark. No more talking about anything but us." She got a glass of water as he moved up behind her. His strong hands moved up her waist and around to cup her breasts as he ground himself against the back of her.

"Agreed. I need you naked and trembling beneath me." He kissed the side of her neck. "Can I have that even though I don't deserve it?"

"Say please." She pressed her rear to him, rubbing it against him as he groaned softly.

"Please. Please. Please."

Chapter 4

Jamie took her time drinking her water, which seemed to be driving Alex mad behind her, but it was fun, and his greedy hands felt too good to miss out on. She was a tease each and every chance she got to be one. He would get her back for it, but that was half the fun of their games. He just always seemed to get the upper hand about the time she thought she had it.

"That's enough playing around with me, Jamie." He pulled her back from the sink and turned her around to face him. "I want what's mine."

His fingers slid into her hair as he tightened his grip a little and tugged her head back. She moaned at the delicious tension and reached for the counter next to her to steady herself. He kissed the space between her breasts and moved down, nipping at her over her silky shirt until he reached the bottom of her skirt.

"Not in here. Come to the bedroom with me." She reached down and tried to get him to get back up. She hadn't even taken off her jacket yet.

"Here." He pushed her tight gray skirt up her thighs and over her hips before pressing his mouth to the front of her, his tongue licking around the tiny pink triangle that covered her.

"Hot damn." She turned a little and pressed her back to the countertop as her fingers bit into it for stability.

"So beautiful. I wanna fuck you everywhere. In the office again soon. Tell me we can do that again. Please?" He moved her panties to the side and pressed closer, then paused, glancing up at her as her legs began to shake.

"Yes. Anywhere. I was going to today, but—"

"I know. Just lock the door and force me to see you. I wouldn't deny you if you got in my face, baby." He leaned in and dragged his tongue along her center, lapping at her as she cried out.

It had been three weeks or more since they'd made love, and the last time was an early morning quickie against the bathroom sink before he rushed out of the place like his butt was on fire.

Alex urged her to drape one of her legs over his shoulder as he leaned in and worked her toward the edge with efficiency.

"Your fingers," Jamie moaned softly as she kept her eyes on him. There wasn’t anything sexier than watching the impossibly gorgeous billionaire who had stolen her heart down on his knees, making love to her with his tongue.

"Anything you want." He pressed two fingers into her and moved up a little, sucking hard on her clit as the room exploded around her. He groaned, and the sound reverberated across her skin, pulling her farther into the wave of ecstasy.

She screamed his name and slid her hands into his hair, locking him against her body as he used his mouth and fingers to pull her toward the edge of another orgasm within minutes. She pushed him away, knowing that she wouldn't survive a long love-making session with him if he pulled every last bit of energy from her as they stood in the kitchen together.

"More," he mumbled, and moved back in to kiss her swollen flesh.

"No. Stop, baby,” she begged. “I want you inside me. Please?" She turned and kicked off her panties as she walked to the bedroom, pulling off various articles of clothing until all she had on were her heels and her jewelry.

"Keep the heels on. I love it." He moved up behind her and ran his hands down her back as she pressed her hands to the bed and arched her back.

"Why can't our relationship feel like this all the time?" She pressed her back up against his hand as he massaged her sore muscles and bent over to run his lips and nose down to the top of her ass.

"Because it's a long-term relationship, Jamie. We're going to have ups and downs, baby." He licked at her lower back and moved back. "I love you so much, though. Please don't forget that."

She glanced over her shoulder and watched him undress before turning and lying down onto her back.

"Don't forget that I don't have feelings for anyone but you. Least of all your brother." Jamie lifted her eyebrow as Alex tugged his shirt from his shoulders. The sensual feast before her was almost too much. Beautifully tanned, tight skin stretched across the perfect muscles. It was the soft dark hair that disappeared into the top of his slacks from his bellybutton that stole her attention.

"I know that. I just get jealous sometimes, but it was my fault that I wasn't at dinner tonight." He worked his slacks off before pulling down his blue boxer briefs. His thick cock sprang from its cage, and he groaned before stroking himself once and moving up on the bed.

"No need to be jealous. I'm madly in love with you." Jamie wrapped an arm around his shoulders and pulled him against her as she kissed his lips and moved to his neck. "You're all I want."

"I'm all you get." He positioned himself to enter her and moved to his elbows, looking down and smiling at her. "Damn, you're beautiful! I'm the luckiest man in the world."

“Good. Now fuck me.”

He pushed forward, and she groaned as her eyes closed and back arched. The delicious pressure of having him open her up like only he could was almost too much.

"So tight, Jamie. Every time, baby." He kissed her neck before moving down and pulling one of her nipples into his mouth.

"Move." She pressed her heel against his butt as he chuckled and started to work her.

"Yes, ma'am." He lifted up and pulled her legs up a little as he continued to drive into her. His lips brushed by her ear as he grunted slowly with each thrust.

It didn't take long, and she felt him tense up. She was so close, and didn't want to miss out on one more time of feeling her body explode thanks to his.

"Faster. Harder." She ran her nails down his back as he licked at his lips and nodded.

"Need me to fuck you like I don't love you?" He brushed her hair back, and the wicked glint in his eyes left her racing toward the edge of orgasm.

She nodded, not able to catch her breath as he lifted up a little and stole her breath with his rhythm, his power. Moments later, she joined him as they both cried out and took turns prolonging the pleasure as best they could.

Alex fell down on top of her and panted softly against her hair. "Damn, you're incredible! More woman than I could ever deserve. Making love to you is the best part of my day."

"Then you should do it daily." She reached up and rubbed his back as she held him against her.

"I agree. Let me hold you for a few minutes, and then I want more." He kissed her a few times before rolling off and turning on his side. She cuddled up to him with her back to his chest as he spooned her in the cold sheets of his bed.

"I'm sorry again about today." He kissed her shoulder as his fingers played along her outer thigh.

"It's alright. I just hate it when it happens." She took his arm and wrapped it around her. He cupped her breasts and squeezed softly.

"I know. I'll keep working on it. I don't want a rift between us. Not ever."

"Me neither." She closed her eyes, enjoying the warm security of being in his arms.
Speaking of security.

"I was trying to ask you earlier what the new code is on the alarm for the house." She turned her face a little.

He planted several soft kissing along the side of her face. "It’s not working at the moment. Since we changed Wi-Fi service, it started acting up. I called about it last week and they were going to come out and check if a line’s been cut or what’s up.” He grinned and nipped at her ear. “Are you scared here when I'm not here? The dog was supposed to help with that."

"Not really scared, but there’ve been some burglaries in this area since Christmas. I just don't want to have someone break in when we’re here, or not here. It's just a scary thought." She shivered. The room was a little too chilly. "Can you pull up the covers?"

He sat up and grabbed them, dropping the feather duvet over the top of her shoulders before snuggling back against her. "I'll call them again tomorrow if it’ll make you feel better, but don't worry about the news. They always over-do that stuff anyway. You know that."

"I know, but better safe than sorry, right?"

"Absolutely." He ran his hand over her hip and down the curve of her rear. "Speaking of sorry, I believe I have some making up to do. I want more of you."

"Yes, show me how sorry you are. Again.” She pressed against his hand and reached back, cupping his head as she rubbed herself against him. “I'm all yours."

"Mm mm… I like that. Almost too much." He pressed his nose to her ear and breathed in deeply. "Did I tell you that I'm completely in love with you? That nothing seems right when you're mad at me?"

"No, but I wouldn't mind hearing that every day, all day." She chuckled, and relaxed as he fondled her. If he wanted to make love, she would be all for it, but it'd better be soon. The warmth of his body against hers combined with the silky covers and the darkened room pulled her toward sleep.

"Then I'll make sure to tell you more often." He moved his hand around to her belly before sliding his hand between her thighs. "Just once more."

"As many times as you want, but first... tell me why you were so mad today." She pulled his hand from between her thighs and turned her head a little to look back at him once more. "I don't think I've seen you that upset before."

"With Nicholas?" He moved up to prop his head up with his hand.

"Yeah. Over the government reporting stuff. You seemed over the top about it. Is it that big a deal?"

"No. It's the fact that he thinks he has the right to tell me what to do with my company." Alex let out a long sigh. "Let's talk about it tomorrow. I don't want to let that bastard into my night. He half ruined my day already."

"Okay, but I don't like seeing you so upset. We need to do something to put a buffer between the two of you." Jamie took his hand and ran it down her tummy again. A year before that, she would have died had someone tried to touch her stomach. After losing so much weight and getting her confidence back, she wasn't at all worried about it.
