Battle for Love (Bachelor Billionaire #3) (10 page)

“
I
won't break you. I'll be gentle,” he whispered into her ear
before he licked it.

A
shiver ran through her shoulders. She was soaking wet all over again.
His reassuring words so softly in her ear sent her soaring high. How
was he the same man she had known all those years? She hadn't even
heard him open the package, but she could feel his covered length
against her opening. He took her hands and held them above her head.

“
Keep
your hands up there,” he demanded.

“
Or
what?”

“
I'll
cuff them if I need to,” he said in a harsh tone.

“
No
way. Don't even joke about that.”

He
must have felt her tense against him, because he immediately eased
her mind.

“
Okay,
I won't. I'm sorry. Just keep them above your head.”

She
knew by the look in his eyes, she would be avoiding questions later.

“
Are
you going to leave them where I asked you?” he asked.

“
Yes”

“
Good,”
he said, as he brushed his hand down her arm and side.

She
felt like her skin was on fire in every spot his fingers touched on
the way down. He moved her legs apart with his knee as his hand slid
under her ass and he inched himself into her. She loved the way he
made her feel. He was so dominating but so loving at the same time.
She enjoyed how hard his voice was when he was telling her how he
wanted her, but equally enjoyed his soft whispers and caring tone.
She arched her back as he slid himself into her a little more.

“
Fuck,
Julie. You're so damn tight. I can't even tell you how good it feels
to have you wrapped around my cock,” he said.

“
More,
Ethan. I need more of you,” she moaned into his ear.

He
thrust himself deeper into her. She wrapped her legs around his waist
and pulled him closer. Her hands moved to touch him. Before she even
made contact, he had her hands in his and held them above her head.

“
I
said, keep your hands above your head woman. Do you ever listen?”

“
I
want to touch you. I want to feel your skin against my fingers. I
want all of you.”

He
threw his head back as he pumped hard into her. Ethan hovered over
her as he kissed her lips, neck, and breasts. She could see his
muscles tighten and relax with each thrust. Watching him move in and
out of her turned her on even more. She loved the feeling of his cock
buried deep inside of her.

“
You
are so hot. I see the passion in your eyes as you watch me slide into
you. I want to stay buried deep inside of you all night long. I don't
think I could ever get enough of you.”

She
arched her back into him hard as her breathing grew faster. Julie's
eyes closed as she soaked up every bit he gave her. She gasped and
bit her bottom lip as he thrust into her harder and faster.

“
I
need to touch you. Please, Ethan let me touch you,” she begged.

Julie
didn't care how it sounded. She would beg all he wanted, if he would
let her run her hands along his skin. She needed him in her arms so
badly.

“
You
want to touch me?” he asked. “Do you want to run your
hands across my hot skin? Do you want to feel the sweat on my skin
from what you do to me?”

“
Yes,
I need to touch you more than I need anything else right now. I want
to run my fingers down your chest and feel your muscles tighten as
you fuck me. I need to run my hands down your back as you bury your
cock deeper into me.”

Julie
was surprised as she heard the words leave her mouth. She felt as if
they were coming from someone else. What was he doing to her? He let
go of her arms, and she clutched his back in her grip as she rocked
her hips into him hard.

“
Shit,
Julie. You fucking rock my world. Do you hear me? I want you so bad.
I want to feel you come around me. I want to feel you release while
you scream out my name. You're mine. Do you hear me? Mine.”

His
hips crushed into hers as his breathing grew just as deep as hers.
She felt her hands grip his back as his hands help her hips so tight.
It was as if they would never touch each other again, the way they
were taking everything the other offered and more.

“
I
want to hear you scream my name. I want you to know who does this to
you, who makes you feel this way. I want everyone to know your
fucking mine. Now, Julie,” he demanded.

As
he thrust into her as hard and deep as he could, she screamed his
name over and over as she came harder than she ever thought possible.
She felt herself clench around his cock. With his face buried in her
neck, he thrust into her one last time, as he moaned her name with
his own release. His body relaxed onto hers. She felt his heart
racing against hers as their sweat combined. Julie stayed completely
still as he caught his breath.

When
she felt both of their breathing even out, he rolled off of her and
onto his back.

“
You
are incredible,” he said.

He
got out of bed and walked into his master bathroom. She looked up and
saw the moon shining in the closed balcony door. How had she missed a
balcony when she was in the room earlier? His home really was
beautiful. Maybe there was more to Ethan than everyone gave him
credit for. She rolled onto her side as she thought about him. Julie
never knew sex could be anything like what she had just experienced
with him. She heard the door close and felt him crawl in behind her.
He snuggled close with his arm around her. She didn't want the moment
to end. He brushed his hand through her hair and kissed the back of
her head. She realized that he thought she was asleep, so she made
sure to not give herself away.

“
There's
something you're not telling me. I'm going to find out what it is,”
he whispered.

Oh
shit, she thought.

“
Thank
you for caring enough to go to the bar tonight. You have no idea what
that means to me. Sleep well sweetheart.”

Julie
heard a beeping sound. She opened her eyes and looked around. It took
a moment for her to feel the arm over her side and realize where she
was. She looked to the side to see the clock on the nightstand say
five o'clock. Oh crap, she had fallen asleep. It was real. She was
really with Ethan. It wasn't a dream. She had dreamt about him many
times, but none of them were even close to what had really happened.
The beep happened again. She carefully slid out from under his arm.
As she went to walk past the bottom of the bed, she heard the beep on
the floor in his jeans. She bent down and grabbed his phone from his
pocket and walked into his bathroom. Julie closed the door before she
turned on the light so she wouldn't wake him up. She had to stop that
pain in the ass sound. Her finger pushed the button at the top of the
phone and she saw a portion of a text on the screen. She knew it was
none of her business, but she couldn't stop herself after seeing what
she had just seen. Julie swiped across the screen and gasped as she
read it.

“
Hey
baby, where are you? You were supposed to be here two hours ago. I
miss you. I need you. Call me as soon as you get this. I'm worried
about you.”

Julie
shut the phone off and looked down at it. She felt tears fill her
eyes as she tried to push them back. It was a huge mistake. She had
made one of the worst mistakes of her life. What the hell was she
thinking? How could she have let that happen? He was good. She had
been played. Gavin was going to kill her when he found out they had
been together. Get out of his house, she thought to herself. Hurry up
and get out. How could she have let herself think that there was
anything between her and Ethan? What had she done?

She
left the bathroom door open a tiny bit while she looked for her
clothes. Once she collected them all, she put his phone on his
nightstand, turned off the bathroom light, and used her phone light
to get out of his room and down the stairs. In his front hallway, she
got dressed as quickly as she could. She felt like she was going to
pass out and needed to get out into the cool air. Once she was in her
car and on her way, she let the tears fall from her eyes. What the
hell was she thinking? She knew better than to trust a man. Julie had
learned her lesson a long time ago, or at least she thought she did.
That would definitely never happen again.

Ethan
opened his eyes slowly as they adjusted to the light. He looked over
at the clock on his nightstand and saw ten o'clock. What the heck
happened? Why didn't his alarm go off? He knew he should have been at
the office already. As he jumped out of the bed, he noticed his
clothes spread out on the floor. When he picked them up, a pair of
ripped panties fell from his hand. Oh shit, he thought. It was real.
That wasn't a dream. He had slept with Julie. Ethan sat back down on
the edge of his bed, with his arms on his knees and his face in his
hands. It was the hottest sex he had ever had, and Ethan had more
than his fair share. He seriously thought he had been dreaming. Gavin
was going to kill him, and he knew he had it coming. How could he
sleep with one of his best friends' sister?

She
must have woken up before him. He grabbed his jeans as he ran
downstairs to talk to her, but he didn't see her. When he couldn't
find her anywhere, he went outside to be sure. Her car was gone. He
walked back into his house and slammed the door behind him. Where the
fuck did she go? What time did she leave? He was so pissed. How could
she leave before he even woke up? He reached into the pocket of his
jeans for his phone, but it wasn't there. Where could it be. It was
in his pocket when he dropped the jeans to the floor the night
before. Ethan ran back upstairs to his room. His phone was on his
nightstand. He never put his phone there. When he pushed the button
on his phone and read the open text, he felt like he was going to be
sick. Are you kidding me, he thought?

With
everything that had happened with Becky and Gavin, Ethan had totally
forgotten that he had a friends with benefits session planned the
night before. What the hell was he going to do? He was already late
for work and had to be at the airport in two hours for a business
trip with Gavin. They had a meeting that could not be missed. It was
very important for both of them. What was he going to do about Julie?
He had to talk to her and explain that text. Even if what they did
shouldn't have happened, he didn't want her to think it meant nothing
to him. He still could not believe it had really happened. Ethan
pulled up a new message and started typing.

“
What
time did you leave here? You shouldn't have left like that. I can't
believe you didn't wake me up. I need to talk to you.”

He
ran into the bathroom and took the fastest shower he could. Once he
was dressed, he threw some clothes into a bag and checked his phone.

“
There
is nothing to talk about.”

“
Yes,
there is.” He sent, as he stood in his room rubbing the back of
his neck.

He
grabbed his bag of clothes, his laptop bag, and some paperwork and
took off out the door. His driver did not look very happy as he
opened the door for him.

“
I
am so sorry for keeping you waiting for me. Thank you,” Ethan
said, as he threw the bags into the back seat and got into the car.

He
was checking his email on his phone when another text came through.

“
No,
there is not. That never happened. Do you hear me? Do not say
anything to my brother. He has enough going on right now. That was a
huge mistake. I promise you, it is not one I will ever make twice.
Please delete all of my messages and my number from your phone. I am
doing the same with yours.”

“
That
text was not what you think. We need to talk. I have to fly out in
two hours.” he sent.

“
I
know you do. I already talked to Gavin today. It is none of my
business what that text meant. It was just the reminder I needed, and
it couldn't have come at a better time. This is my last text.”
