Resisting the Billionaire (20 page)

“Tyrone Welles.”

Applause.

“Cynthia Wellington.”

Applause.

“There she is!” whispered Marcus. “Get ready.”

He didn’t need to point her out. I was aware of where she
was at all times. When she wasn’t by my side, I felt her absence like a lost
limb.

“Cora Weston. Summa cum laude.”

I stood up and roared and clapped and whistled. My parents,
Troy, and Marcus made just as much obnoxious noise.

Cora looked to our section and beamed. We had prime seats,
thanks to our connections with the president of the university. I could see her
beautiful caramel eyes glowing with love as she stared at us.

I was so fucking proud, my heart was about to burst out of
my chest.

After the case with Tom Wexler wrapped up, Cora resigned as
my assistant to attend school. All her fears about us not lasting had vanished.

As her replacement, she asked me to hire her friend, Jamie
Parker. I was concerned about her reputation for gossip, but to my surprise,
Jamie became as tight-lipped as a CIA operative. She was an excellent
assistant.

I liked to tease Cora that Jamie was her spy, but I knew she
trusted me completely. There was nobody else in the world for me but her. And I
knew it was the same for her. I still got insanely jealous, especially when she
was in a study group with a man, but I knew she would never betray me. Of
course, putting my ring on her finger helped to keep the wolves at bay.

Instead of moving to another apartment, Marcus and Cora
moved into my penthouse. Before the semester started, I closed on a house
midway between her school and work. It was only a twenty-minute commute on the
El for Marcus. It was a sprawling five-bedroom, two-story home with a huge
yard. We could always upgrade when we outgrew it.

My mom had been like a giddy schoolgirl when we broke the
news of our engagement. She was already planning a big society wedding that
could take over a year to organize. I put my foot down and told her I wanted to
be married within three months. Cora and I had already talked about it and
neither of us wanted to make a big splash.

In the end, my mom pulled off an amazing feat in the short
period of time. She somehow managed to book the most beautiful church and reception
hall. All of the who’s who in Illinois society was there, including the
governor of the state. It wasn’t the small affair Cora and I wanted, but both
of us had a hard time telling my mom no.

Neither Cora nor I remembered much about the wedding except
that we were both incredibly happy. We finally belonged to each other, in every
sense of the word. The guests assured me that everything was beautiful, but I
only had eyes for my gorgeous bride, who was incandescent with joy.

We had a honeymoon in Paris in the summer while Marcus
stayed with my parents.

Married life was amazing. When I decided to win her body,
heart and soul, I never realized she would end up owning me utterly and
completely. She made me want to be a better man every day. Of course, I still
managed to infuriate her every now and then, but I was learning to like the
making up part.

Cora finished her math degree in two years, a year ahead of
schedule. She was going to take some time to think about whether she wanted to
pursue a graduate degree. In the meantime, she was going to work as an analyst
at the company.

She didn’t know it yet, but I was going to keep her busy
with babies for a little while. I’d been more than patient, waiting for her to
finish her degree, but I wanted a brown-eyed little girl.
And
two little boys.
My cock twitched, thinking about making babies with
her.

A sharp elbow dug into my side.

“Pay attention,
doofus
” said Troy,
clapping loudly.

I realized the ceremony was over and all the graduates were
throwing their caps in the air.

“Let’s go outside and meet her. Ooh…I’m so proud of her!” My
mom was already walking ahead of us. In the last couple of years, my favorite
girls had gotten close. Cora had become the daughter my mom had always wanted
and my mom became a mother figure to both Cora and Marcus.

Marcus was thriving in school. He was advanced enough to
skip another grade and would be graduating high school next year. He had won a
number of science and technology awards and competitions over the years. Already,
scholarship offers were pouring in from the top schools in the country.

The crowd was chaotic, but I had no trouble finding my stunning
wife. As soon as she spotted me, she picked up her gown and ran full pelt at
me. I was ready when she flung herself into my arms. I held her close to my
heart. Fuck, she was my heart.

“I’m so proud of you, baby. I love you.”

Her eyes were brimming with happiness. “I love you.”

I only got to sneak in a quick kiss before our family
demanded her attention.

The afternoon and evening were spent celebrating. We booked
a table at her favorite French restaurant. We drank and ate and laughed.

But I was happy to have her to myself at the end of the
night. As soon as our bedroom door was closed, I had us naked in record time. I
pushed her onto her back and pressed my face between her thighs. I gave myself
a pat on the back for having the foresight to soundproof our bedroom because
Cora was a screamer.

I made her come twice before I joined our bodies. My cock
was ready to come as soon as he got into her tight pussy. “Damn, baby. You
always feel so good.”

She was too
far gone
to respond as
she bucked against me. I rode her gently at first, but she was so hot and wet
that I was pounding her in no time. Even after two years, I still struggled
with my self-control.
 

Just when I felt her tighten around me, I bent down and
whispered, “It’s time to make a baby.”

She howled and clamped down so hard that I went off like a
rocket. Her eyes were glazed with lust as I shot my load into her womb.

I bent down and whispered into her ears, “I love you, baby.”

She could only manage a sigh, but I knew what was in her
heart.

It was love.

The End

Thank you for reading my book. I’m a
new independent author and I need your help to spread the word. If you liked Cora
and Jake’s story, please tell your friends and review my book on the site where
you bought this. If you didn’t enjoy it, I welcome your constructive feedback.
Your honest reviews can help new readers find me and keep me writing!

I know. I know. Who does this bitch
think she is, asking me to market for her
?!

The truth is I’d much rather spend
my time writing more stories than marketing my work. I have long accepted the
realities of being an introvert. God bless the extroverts out there!

I live in California. I am a
voracious reader of all genres. Put an instruction pamphlet in front of me and
I’ll read it. But I love, love, love romance, especially romance with a lot of
heat.
