Boxed Set: The Billionaire’s Desire Complete Collection (Books 1-3 and Bonus Books 1 and 2) (Submitting to the Billionaire) (21 page)

            As I was still panting trying to catch my breath, Joshua gently hoisted me off of his lap.  “Take off that dress.”  His voice was strained as he ground out the words.  I stepped out of my dress and stood in front him in my red lace panties and his eyes devoured my body as they slowly perused every inch of me.   He reached out and traced the curve of my hip with his hand.  “You are so damned sexy baby.  Let’s take these off.”  He stood behind me and hooked his thumbs inside the edge of my panties and pulled them down off of me and I stepped out of them and I stood completely naked in his office, wearing only my heels.

            He was on his knees and I heard a soft groan escape his lips as his hands trailed back up my legs and caressed my buttocks.  “Mmmm, you drive me crazy.  This ass is so sexy.”  He kissed each cheek and then stood up and turned me around, and his smoldering gaze held mine. 

            “Take off my shirt.”

            I swiftly unbuttoned his shirt and took it off and then removed his undershirt revealing his beautiful, chiseled chest. 
Dammit, you are gorgeous
.  Our eyes caught and I saw pure animal lust on his face.

            “Now my pants.”

            I unbuckled his belt and unzipped his pants and they fell to the floor, pooling around his feet.  He stepped out of them and I saw his rock hard member straining to be free from his boxer briefs.

            Joshua held my gaze as he stood in front of me.  “You know what’s next Sarah.”

            I did know and I sank to my knees and ran my hands up his legs, over his tight, muscular thighs to his waist and hooked my fingers inside his waistband and pulled his briefs down.  His thick, hard dick sprang free and he stepped out of his briefs and reached down and grabbed a fistful of my hair and pulled my head back so that my eyes met his.

            “I want to feel those gorgeous lips around my cock.”

            Something in the way he said those words with his sexy, raspy voice made me want to do whatever he asked of me.  I could feel the wetness on my inner thighs as my core ached to be filled.  I couldn’t wait to have him inside me, but first I wanted to taste him.

            I reached out and wrapped my hands around his throbbing member and stroked it from the base to the tip before wrapping my mouth around it.  As I wrapped my lips around his member, I slid my tongue across the tip and I heard a sharp intake of breath above me as he dug his hands into my hair.  I circled my tongue around the edge where the shaft met the tip and I slowly started to move just the tip in and out of my mouth.  I moved my hands so that I could take him in deep and flattened my tongue along the shaft as I sucked from the base to the tip.  I heard jagged breaths above me as Joshua struggled to keep control.  He grabbed fistfuls of my hair and steadied himself as he controlled the motions moving in and out of my mouth.  I grabbed his ass cheeks and caught him off guard by taking him in as far as I could, touching the back of my throat.  I did that a couple more times and I felt his body begin to tense up.

            His words were barely audible as he whispered to me.  “I’m going to come.  No, no!”  He pulled out quickly, surprising me, and told me to stand up and turn around and he bent me over, face down, on his desk.    

            “Hold onto the edges of the desk and don’t let go!”  His voice was strained as he ground out the words.

            He grabbed my hips and plunged himself into me; my warm, tender opening welcoming his hard thickness.  I cried out as he pounded into me; pure ecstasy consuming me.  His groans from above were sexy as hell and I didn’t want him to stop.  I could tell he was close to orgasm because he pounded into me like a jackhammer when he was about to come.  Joshua held tight to my hips and the jackhammer started and I got goose bumps all over, it felt so good.  I felt his body tense up and then he shuddered and let out a loud grunt as he came inside me.  I collapsed onto the desk and he collapsed on top of me panting for air.

            “That was incredible.  Three weeks without my wife drove me crazy.  You can let go of the desk now.”

            He stood up and helped me up off of the desk and he looked at me and leaned down and gave me a gentle kiss.  “I love you Sarah Hunter and I missed you like crazy.”

            The butterflies fluttered incessantly as I looked at my beautiful husband and smiled.  “I love you too.”

            I took off my shoes and we went to his bathroom to get cleaned up and got dressed, and I swear that bathroom in his office had to be one of the best perks known to man.

            “Okay, what do you say we go to lunch?”  He gently swatted me on the bottom as I bent over to put on my shoes.

            "Sounds good."

            I reluctantly went to go get Natalia for lunch, but I put on a smile because I had just had amazing office sex and I promised my husband I would play nice.  Jake joined us for lunch and I suffered through the meal and tried to keep my snarky comments to myself.  I noticed that Natalia was being overly flirtatious with Joshua in an almost disrespectful way and he did nothing to stop it.  I thought I may have seen a knowing look pass between the two of them but I pushed that out of my mind. 
There is no way that just happened.
  He seemed to be completely oblivious to her flirting as his attention was mostly focused on winking at me throughout lunch.  I glanced over at Natalia and sneered at her as I held Joshua’s hand across the table. 
All mine.
 

            “Okay you lovebirds, cut it out.”  Jake playfully pulled our hands apart and I giggled and Joshua chuckled as we kept our hands to ourselves. 

            “Oh come on, no ribbing little brother.  I haven’t seen my lovely wife in three weeks!”

            “I know, I know but you two are as affectionate with each as you were the day you got married!  If I didn’t know you both I would think that you were newlyweds!”

            I could not have been any happier that Jake chose that moment to say those nice things.  It seemed that Natalia needed a reminder that Joshua was
very
taken.

            “Oh, Jake.  You and Lauren are exactly the same way.  And now that the baby is here, there is even more love between you, I’ve seen it.”  I gave him a teasing smile and he blushed a bit.

            “True, true.  I’m in love with two women now, my gorgeous wife and my beautiful daughter.” His smile lit up the room.

            I didn’t really have to say what I said next, but I wanted to make sure that Natalia heard me loud and clear.  “You know, children really do add a new dimension of love between a husband and wife.  I knew that I loved Joshua many years ago, but when we had our girls that love for him was magnified.”  I looked squarely at Natalia.  “Our bond is unbreakable.”

            She squirmed in her seat and looked uncomfortable. 
Good, it looks like she got the message.
 

            “Well, now that our love fest is over we should probably get back to work.  Joshua, you and Natalia must be exhausted so I’m sure you won’t be working late, right?”  Jake was good about making sure that Joshua didn’t push himself the way that he used to.   

            “No, it won’t be late.  I’m dying to see our girls so Sarah and I will be leaving around 5:00.”

            Lunch was over before I knew it and it was much less painful than I had anticipated.  Joshua paid the bill and we all headed back to the office.  The rest of the day flew by and it was time to go home before I knew it.  I was extra excited about going home that day because the girls would still be awake and they were going to see their father after three weeks.

            I gathered my things and I was humming to myself as I walked down the hall to Joshua's office.  I knocked softly on the door and when I did not hear a response I slowly opened the door and my stomach dropped into my toes.  I felt as though I was going to throw up, and I was completely in shock at what I saw.  Natalia was straddling Joshua and he had his hands on her arms as if to pull her to him.  I dropped my purse, the motion making a loud thud sound, and they both quickly looked over at me.  Joshua pushed her off of him and a nasty smirk curled up the corner of Natalia’s mouth, and it took everything I had not to run toward them and shove both of them through the glass window.

            I noticed that Natalia’s lipstick was smeared and then everything went red and I exploded on them.

            “
What in the hell is going on here
?!!” 

            “Sarah, this is not what it looks like!”  Joshua looked desperate for me to believe him.

            “Oh really?  Because what it looks like is that you had a whore sitting on your lap!”

            “I am not a whore!”  Natalia had the nerve to put her hand on her hip as she spoke to me. 

            I whipped my head in her direction, narrowed my eyes at her and spoke to her through gritted teeth.  “It is in your best interest not to speak to me and to leave this office immediately, because if you don’t I will rip your throat out through your mouth!”  I looked her straight in her eye and spoke in a dead pan voice.  “I am dead fucking serious.”

            Natalia hesitated and looked at Joshua who would not look in her direction, and straightened her clothes and left. 

            I slammed the office door closed behind her and turned my fiery gaze toward Joshua.  Not once in all of the years we had been married did I ever worry about him cheating on me.  We had the kind of relationship that most people dreamed of, or at least I thought we did.  He loved and trusted me and I loved and trusted him, until now.  I wanted to give him a chance to explain because something like this had never happened before and my heart was hurting thinking that I may have been naïve all of these years.

            “Do you mind telling me what the hell happened in here?!”

            “Natalia pounced on me Sarah and I tried to fight her off.  That is all that happened, I swear.  I had no idea that she still had feelings for me, I thought she had gotten over that years ago but apparently she hasn’t.”  He came over to me and grabbed my arms near my shoulders.  “Look at me!  I would never do anything to hurt you,
ever
!  I would rather die first than hurt you!”

            I tried to process what he was saying to me through my hurt and anger but it was difficult to see things his way.  If he really didn’t want her to touch him, he was strong enough to keep her away.  But when I walked in she was clearly straddling him and leaning in toward him.  I looked into his eyes, trying to see if he was being truthful when I noticed something on his lips. 
Is that lipstick?  Do I see traces of red fucking lipstick on his lips?
  My body stiffened and I snatched my arms away pulling out of his grip and he looked shocked by my sudden movement away from him.

            I tried to control my rage when I spoke but it was clearly evident that I was pissed.  “You have lipstick on your mouth Joshua.  How the hell did that happen?!”  To say that I sounded angry is an understatement.  I wanted to smack him across the face for doing this to me, to us, but I was afraid that if I started hitting him I wouldn’t stop. 

            He started to speak and I interrupted him.  “You know what, save it.  I don’t want to hear anymore of your lies.”  I turned sad eyes to him and held his gaze for a few seconds.  “I would never hurt you like this.”  I then turned and walked toward the door of his office.

            “Sarah!  You are not listening to me!  Sarah, stop right there!”

            I stopped when I heard how angry he sounded and I turned around to glare at him.

            “I told you nothing happened and I meant it! 
Nothing happened!
”  His voice bellowed throughout the office and I was grateful that it was soundproof in there.  “I am not lying to you and the fact that you are questioning me is beginning to make me really angry!  I would not do something like this to you!  She came on to me and what you saw was me pushing her away, that is all!”

            Tears started rolling down my cheeks because what I saw looked like my husband was cheating on me.  He came over to me and wiped away my tears and I raised my eyes to meet his.

            “I can’t handle this right now Joshua, my head is swimming and I am getting a pounding headache.  Let’s just go home, the girls are dying to see you.  I don’t want them to know that anything is wrong.  We can discuss this later.”

            He must have been able to see how exhausted I was by all of this because he dropped it and we went home.  I didn’t speak to him in the car on the way home and he didn’t try to push me and I was really grateful for that.  As soon as we walked in the house the girls went running up to him and he gave them both big hugs and kisses.  I turned on a smile because I didn’t want them to know that anything was wrong and we all had a nice evening together.  We all had dinner and then we put the girls to bed and read them a bedtime story, during which they fell asleep.  They looked like little angels all tucked in their beds and I stood looking at them thinking about how much I loved them, Joshua and our life together when the tears started to roll down my cheeks again.  I couldn’t shake the image of Natalia on his lap and Joshua could see that I was crying and he quietly led me out of their room.

            We went to our room and closed the door and sat on our bed.

            “Talk to me Sarah.  Please.  I want to make things right, I want to make you feel secure.”

            “I can’t seem to shake the image of her on your lap; it makes me sick to my stomach.  So you claim that she came on to you.  Why did you have lipstick on your mouth?”

            “She caught me off guard and surprised me by pouncing on me and kissing me at the same time.  It happened so fast I couldn’t stop her!”

            He was pleading with me and I wanted so badly to believe him but it was hard.  They were flirting at lunch, or at least it seemed that they were.  He definitely didn’t do anything to stop her shameless flirting.  Jake even gave me a funny look when he saw Natalia’s behavior. 
Why couldn’t you just stay away from her?  Maybe you didn’t really want to.

            “Joshua, let’s flip the scenario.  What would you have done if you had walked in on me and a man had me pinned against the wall and my lipstick was on his lips?  You would fly into a jealous rage and you would probably not speak to me for days or even weeks.  This is a lot for me to digest because I have never seen this behavior from you.”

            “
Exactly
, you have never seen this behavior from me because nothing like this has ever happened before.”

            “Really?  And how do I know that?  How do I know that you aren’t having an affair with Natalia?  You did both conveniently arrive here from Paris together on our private jet.  How do I know nothing happened there?  See?  The fact that I’m even thinking this way now is making me sick to my stomach.” 

            “Sarah.  How do you know something like this hasn’t happened before??  Are you serious?  If you don’t trust me then we have nothing and we shouldn’t be together.”

            I looked at him and crossed my arms and narrowed my eyes, suspicion coursing through my veins.  “You conveniently avoided answering the question.”

            His eyes simmered with fire as he held my gaze and I could tell that he was beyond angry.  He stood there silent, staring at me for a couple of minutes and I began to grow uncomfortable by the silence. 
Is he trying to think of a way to tell me he is having an affair?
