The Billionaire's Bargain (12 page)

Do you want it to be a real one?

Think of those hands running all
over your body. The pleasure he’d be able to give you. He’d drive you mad with
wanting, Tess.
 

“Come on, Tess. It’s no big deal. It’s not like I haven’t seen it all
before.” There was no sound from the other side. Tess knew he regretted what he
said. The anger inside her built. Not only was this her wedding night, but he
was reminding her of all the other women he’d slept with. Women with much more
beauty than she had.

“Great, remind me of how many other women you’ve been with. What a
perfect wedding night.
Just what I’d imagined.
I married
a man I don’t even know. And within hours of our vows being said, you remind me
of how many other women you have bedded. You definitely know how to make a
woman feel special,
Duncan
,”
she said. Her voice rose as she spoke every word. Tess knew the moment her lips
closed she’d said too much. Her anger had gotten the better of her. What was it
about
Duncan
that made her lose control? “Please, just go,
Duncan
. This is not fair. I signed up to be
your wife, nothing else.”

She heard him sigh on the other side of the door.

“This isn’t how I believed our wedding night would go either, Tess. I
watched you laughing and dancing with every other man at the reception, and I
got jealous. You weren’t as free with me like you were with the others. When I
got you into my arms you were determined to argue. You left me alone on the
dance floor while you had plenty of time to flirt with Tyler Ward. I’m not used
to being the person to stand and watch.” He stopped for a second before
continuing. “The first time I see you, you lock yourself away because I’ve
caught a glimpse of you naked. I don’t want you to run from me, Tess. I’m your
husband whether you like me or not. I’m not going anywhere.”

His jealousy and anger ran through Tess. She felt a pang of hope jolt
through her heart. He must be able to care, to be able to feel jealousy because
she’d danced with another man.

Her emotions were all over the place.

“I’m not leaving this door, Tess.
Even if you stay in
there all night.”

She wrapped her towel tightly around her then opened the door. If he
wasn’t going to run off and leave her, she’d meet him half way. He stood next
to the door. His hands rested on either side of the door frame. His hair was
mussed while his shirt hung loose exposing the length of his smooth chest. The
belt on his pants lay open. He looked like he’d been undressing and decided
against it.
Several times.

She smiled.

“I’m scared. I’ve never been married before,” she said. Her actions had
been childish. They were both adults. He nodded, looking around the room.

“We can take it slow if you want. Your father will be fine as long as
we’re married. I’m not going to force you into anything.” He moved towards his
closet, his words reminding her why they had married. It was his ultimatum for
her father’s freedom. Her father had not even bothered to stick around for the
after-party. Erik hadn’t said a word to her after handing her over. She’d
served her purpose to him. Her father’s reputation and life hung in the balance
of this marriage. Would
Duncan
really bring charges against her father if she tried to dissolve their
relationship?
Probably.
His reputation for being a
ruthless businessman hadn’t come about by being a soft touch.

“Slow is good. Where will you sleep?” Tess tried to remain calm even
though her heart was pounding in her chest.
 
He removed his shirt exposing all of his upper body. His arms were thick
with muscles. She licked her lips. The pulse between her legs increased. She
felt the wet heat of her pussy at the sight of his body.
 

“In that bed.”
He pointed to the bed in the middle of the
room.

“Where will I sleep?” she asked.

“In the same bed next to me.”

Her next question dissolved on her tongue as she watched him turn
towards her with his shirt off. She’d never seen a man so gorgeous and muscled.
He looked hard and smooth to the touch. She was staring, but she couldn’t help
it. Her body responded to his unlike anything she’d ever imagined. His arms
were strong and defined. No man could look that good by pure genetics.

Her mouth watered, the towel feeling heavy in her fingers as she stared
at him.

“Do you like what you see?” His dark gaze penetrated hers. She stared
back at him. It took all of her effort to keep her eyes on his face and not on
his chest.

It was a really fine chest.

Tess wondered what the next move
would be.

She wasn’t use to being with a
millionaire or a husband. Barring the towel she was completely naked. It was
her wedding night. She stood alone with her husband in his bedroom, and the
tension between them mounted.
 

She waited for him to decide what
was going to happen next.

Chapter Ten

Her wet, dark curls curved around
her face. Droplets of water ran down her neck in the valley between her
breasts. Did she have any idea how tempting she looked standing there before
him? All that covered her was a small towel. Such a small piece of fabric, so
easily disposed of.

Duncan
watched the droplets of water
trailing down her body. They left a path he wanted to follow with his tongue.
He’d like to lick every inch of her full, delicious body. His cock pulsed as
his pre-cum eased out of the tip. He was slick and ready to fuck.
Duncan
knew he’d have her
screaming in pleasure in a matter of seconds. His body tightened, responding to
her. He saw the same reaction course through her. Her breasts rose and fell to
the deep breaths she took. Her body was screaming at him to go and get her.

He dropped the shirt on the floor as
he moved with purpose towards her. Her eyes opened wide, but she didn’t back
away. Before she had time to react, he reached her taking hold of her shoulders
in his. He claimed her lips in a fierce possession.

It was the one time he understood
her. When she reacted like fire in his arms.
Duncan
knew how to respond to passion.
Everything else about her, he didn’t get. Tess responded to his kiss instantly.
Duncan
knew how
to give her what she craved. The heat between them sizzled with each touch. He
knew all about pleasure. Tess was top of his list for acquiring. The sooner he
got her panting after him the better he’d be.

She curled her arms around his neck
bringing him closer to her. The towel was in his way. He knew she’d be soft and
warm for him. He accepted every touch as she ran her hands all over him. He
cupped her cheek hoping to return the favour soon with his hands all over her.
He stroked her cupped cheek, running his free hand through her hair.
Duncan
liked gripping the
length in his fist. He pulled her closer to his body with his grip on her hair.
The heat grew between them.
Duncan
couldn’t find the words to describe what his body was doing. All he knew was
whenever Tess was near he needed her like he needed to take his next
breath.
 

She released little moans of
pleasure, which only drove him crazy with wanting for her.
Duncan
deepened the kiss tightening his hold
in her hair, pulling on the fistful of hair. This was his woman.
His wife.
Satisfaction and pride filled him whenever he
thought of her as his wife. He wanted her to know who owned her. To mark her
skin in a way she’d never forget. His ring on her finger wasn’t enough.
Duncan
needed more.

He’d be the only man she responded
to so long as there was breath in his body.
 
Duncan
trailed kisses down her neck to her collarbone, and her moans vibrated down to
his cock. He licked her pulse relishing the jump as he nibbled her neck.

Duncan
sucked on her neck as hard as he
could without hurting her. When he released the skin there was a red mark which
he knew would bruise in the morning. He felt a deep male pride knowing she’d
have his mark on her body.

His hands moved to her neck as he
rubbed the mark with his thumb.
Duncan
tilted her head to the side for him to get better access to her erogenous zone.
Goosebumps erupted on her flesh every time he licked, nibbled, or sucked at the
flesh of her neck. Her eyes were closed, but she searched for his lips when he
drew away from her body. He met her searching kiss with his lips against hers.
He plunged his tongue inside her mouth searching and meeting with hers, loving
her mouth the way he wanted to love the rest of her body.

This was the beginning of so much
more.
Duncan
knew he was addicted to her taste and response. Tess undid him, and in ways
he’d never thought he’d be able to lose control. Her hands ran down his naked
chest then back up. Her touch was light and innocent but making him
want
so much more. His pants were in the way. He wanted them
both naked on the bed.

The need to feel her wet pussy
surround his shaft was driving him to distraction.

Duncan
wanted to sink his cock deep inside
her cunt until his seed spurted inside her.

He pulled back staring into her lust
glazed eyes. “I want you,” he said.

“Why?” Her voice was a mere whisper.

“You’re fucking beautiful.” He ran
his hand against her back. The towel obstructed the feel of her naked skin. He
growled in protest.

“I don’t understand,” she said, her
lips full and swollen from his kisses.

He grabbed her hand then laid it
against his thick cock, pulsing in his pants. “There is nothing to understand,
Tess. You’re a gorgeous woman. I want you. My cock is aching to get inside your
body.”

Without saying anything further he
unhooked her towel. He watched as it fell forgotten in a heap on the floor.
Duncan
absorbed every
curve cataloguing it so he’d never forget. He ran his hands up her back then
down, cupping her ass. She arched her back thrusting her tits up to his face.
His mouth watered for a taste of her succulent flesh. His hands moved round to
the tops of her thighs. Every part of her was soft to the touch.
Duncan
moved up past her
hips to her waist. Her waist was thicker. He tested her hips with a firm grip
and knew fucking her would be a dream. She’d take a good hard fucking. He
couldn’t wait to get her on her back or knees.
Any position
that had him as deep inside her as possible.

He trailed kisses from her lips down
to her chest. Her nipples poked against his chest more tempting than anything
in his life.
Duncan
captured one nipple between his teeth sucking the red mound into his mouth. She
tasted so damn sweet. Her body shook. Her head fell back as he pulled away,
blowing on the wet bud. She cried out when he did the same with the other
breast.
Duncan
was on fire. With one arm around her back, he moved the other to her thigh and
lifted her leg up to his waist. He looked down to see her pussy glistening with
arousal. She had a thin layer of pubic hair covering her pussy. Her skin was
soft and damp from her bath. She smelt and tasted intoxicating to him.
Duncan
couldn’t get
enough of her. By the end of the night, Tess would be his woman in every sense
of the word. There was no way he’d let this passionate woman out of his sight
without his mark all over her body and his cum dripping out of her pussy.

****

Tess tugged on his belt and pants. She was naked. He should be naked,
too.
Duncan
let
her go to pull the belt out of the loops then open the button of his pants. Her
hands were shaking. Any negative thoughts about her body were lost in her need
to see this man naked.
 
She felt taken
over by lust. A pool of heat had begun in her belly and expanded out to take
over any reasoning or thought. She needed to feel all of his body pressed
against hers. Tess wanted to be surrounded by him.

She began to understand the overwhelming feel that possessed everyone
with sex. Her body no longer felt like her own. She felt taken over by someone
who
wasn’t herself
. The sensations he was creating
with his hands and lips were ones she wanted all over. She never wanted him to
stop. They were all so intense that she didn’t know how long she’d waited.
Duncan
was throwing so much
at her all at once. She didn’t want it to stop. His fiery kisses burned her
skin, igniting a desperation she’d never felt until now.
