Cameron, Paige - The Billionaire Maverick Bargains for a Wife [Wives for the Western Billionaires 3] (Siren Publishing Everlasting Classic) (21 page)

Rolling off of her, he quickly removed his boots, jeans, and shirt. He sheathed his hard cock with a condom and straddled her body again. “Where did I leave off? Oh, yes.”

His mouth covered her left breast, while his fingers rubbed her peaked nipple on the right. He sucked, and a shiver went down her spine and straight to her pussy. Her hunger for him roared through her veins. He lay where his hips rubbed against the juncture between her thighs.

Angie raised her lower body to meet his. “I want you inside me, now.”

“We're going slow, my love.” He took his time kissing her breasts, her abdomen, and the inside of her thighs.

“Ah, the treasure.” He nuzzled the hair hiding her jewel. “I love your enticing scent.” He separated her folds and kissed the tiny nub at the top.

Warm, liquid heat raced in her veins. Her pussy clenched in anticipation of having him inside her. When he licked all along her lower lips, she moaned.

“Ah, love, I’m as hungry as you to be inside and held tight in your warm pussy.” He positioned his dick and slid in smoothly and deep.

Her inner muscles immediately tightened around him. Her body rose to meet his thrusts. Leaning down he took her nipple into his mouth and teased it with the edge of his teeth, then suckled her breasts.

The familiar ache in her abdomen tightened. She raised her body to take him in deeper.

“Oh, baby.” Brent rolled and she was on top. “Now, sweetheart, you’re in control.” He put his hands on her waist and encouraged her to move up and down on his pulsing cock.

Angie raised her head and the sunlight streamed between the tree branches and rippled along her body. She was glorious sitting on him with her hair falling around her body like a golden cape. Her pansy eyes softened and darkened. His cock wanted to explode, but he held back.

Her movements were slow. Her pussy wrapped like wet heat around him. Gradually, she began to move faster. She’d balanced herself with her hands on his chest. Her fingers rubbed across his nipples as she increased the up and down movements on his hard cock.

He touched her breasts and teased her nipples with his thumbs. Her movements quickened. He felt her body tense, and her pussy began to contract around his cock. He moved with her now, unable to stop the wave of intense, spine-tingling pleasure that rolled through him and had him gasping for breath. His orgasm hit like a hot bolt to every sensitive nerve in his body. He held her tight against him as the ripples in her pussy held him in thrall.

Her soft body collapsed on him. Their hearts pounding in tune with each other. When he could breathe and move, he rolled her back under him.

“I have something to ask you. If you say no, I’ll handcuff you to me until I get the right answer.” He reached across to his pants and into the small pocket in front.

She saw a shiny object in his hand. Her heart jumped with joy.

“Will you marry me, sweetheart, and build a life together with me? One that includes lots of children, boundless joy, and tons of love.”

“Is there a sane woman alive that could resist you and such a wonderful declaration? I can’t. Yes, I’ll marry you.”

He swept her into his arms and kissed her lips, her eyes, her forehead. “I love you.” He slid the ring on her finger. “And that makes it all official.” Brent hugged her tight, and kissed the top of her head before releasing her.

Angie stared at the ring. “It’s beautiful and different. I love the tiny yellow diamonds around the larger, round, white diamond.”

“The little ones are called champagne diamonds. I’m glad you like it. I’ve had it for a while and been anxious to give it to you. But I wanted to be fairly certain your answer would be yes.”

She kissed him and grinned. “I was determined to not fall in love with you, but your smile and sexy body wore me down.”

“My sexy body? Hmm, that’s good to know, since you affect me the same way, sweetheart.”

"I'm glad. I wouldn't want this to be one way.” She ran her finger along his lips. A teasing glint in her eyes.

Brent bit the tip of her finger and groaned. “I hate to leave this spot, but let’s dress and ride on to the canyon. There’s something I want you to see. You’ll love it. Then we’re going home to tell my family and your sister the good news.”

“Sounds good to me.” Angie started to dress. Brent hadn’t moved. “Are you all right?”

“Much better than
all right.
I’m just realizing how lucky I am. I’ll be able to see you every day, touch you, and love you.”

Angie smiled. “That goes both ways. I’m going to limit my baking. I don’t want you to lose that hot body.” She walked around him as he pulled on his clothes. “Good-looking from any angle. Makes me hungry all over again.” She trailed her fingers along his chest where his shirt hung open.

Brent kissed her fingertips. “Behave, or we’ll never get back to give the folks our good news.”

Her hand slipped lower and rubbed across his hardening cock. “We have all day,” she whispered.

He groaned and his dick went completely hard. “You are a temptress, and I am simply a weak man. How can I resist such an enticing offer?” He shrugged out of his shirt. “Come and get me, honey.”

Much later they rode to the hill on the other side of the trees. At the top, it overlooked a canyon. Brent stood behind Angie and held her in his arms.

“They’re wild horses?” she asked.

“Yes. Aren’t they magnificent? My brothers and I used to come here and lay on the top for hours, watching them roam below us. It’s one of my favorite spots.”

Angie turned in his arms to face him. “Thank you for showing me this, but most of all for loving me. And especially thank you for accepting my bargain, and then making it much better by demanding the agreement be changed.”

“Sweetheart, you didn’t have a chance. I never ever intended for you to be my temporary wife. I just had to help you see our bargain needed a little modification.”

Angie leaned into his body and kissed him. “Let’s go back and tell everyone our good news.”

“Just one more question first. Tomorrow, we’ll fly with Lily to the city. Taking care of her business shouldn’t take us more than a day or so. Where do you want to be married, and how soon can we do it?”

“I don’t want a big wedding.”

“Thank goodness.”

“I ought to change my mind after that statement,” she said, and grinned at him. “But I won’t torment you. Let’s have a very small wedding. Maybe get married by a justice of peace. Lily can be one of our witnesses. Ask Ty to meet us and be the other. Then we’ll go home to our ranch. How soon will the cabin be finished?”

“It should be done by the time we get back. I’ll call and set a fire under them to be sure. Don’t you want to fly to Drake’s island for a honeymoon?”

“If you want to, I will. I’d rather we be alone at our ranch. We’ll put a chain across the road to the cabin and tell everyone to stay away for at least a week.”

“Honey, you are too good to be true. Drake’s father-in-law is a judge. I’ll ask him to marry us. But I think we’d better include my whole family and Samantha and Jackson, or they’d be hurt. We’ll fly to Houston for the ceremony. I’ll make all the arrangements. We’ll be man and wife very soon.”

Chapter Fifteen

Nate Glynes met them at his office right after their flight landed in Philly.

“Hello, Miss Yannell and Miss McElvaine, or do you prefer Miss Starling?”

“Angie will do.”

“Good. I'd like to talk with Miss Yannell first.”

“Nate, can we do this together, both of them and me?” Brent asked. He put up his hand when Nate started to speak. “I know it isn't the usual way, but as a favor to me I'm asking for an exception.”

Nate gave him a hard stare. “If you hadn't helped me in the past, and taken a bullet in the process, I'd never agree. All right, this once.” He pulled two more chairs inside his small cubbyhole of a workspace.

After they were seated, Nate stared at Lily. “Lily, you didn’t know about your father’s real business?”

“He has his own stock brokerage. That’s all I ever knew.”

Nate leaned back in his chair. “I find it incredible that a woman of your intelligence could grow up in your father’s home and not know all about him. You just received a degree in accounting." He leaned forward and snapped, “Was that your daddy’s idea so you could join the firm? And I don’t mean the brokerage.”

Lily’s face flushed red. She stood and leaned across the desk facing Nate.

“Your suspicions are wrong. I told you the truth. Make up any stories you want, but that’s what they’ll be, stories.” She collapsed into her chair in tears.

Brent frowned at his friend. “We didn’t expect an interrogation. You said just a few friendly questions. What’s up?”

“They’re necessary. Everyone involved is going down. If she’s included, so is she.” His voice was hard. He frowned. "This isn't a good idea having you all in the room. You two"—he nodded at Brent and Angie—“leave now. I should never have agreed to a group meeting."

Brent motioned for Angie and Lily to leave the room. He shut the door.

“Have you been associating with pond scum so long you can’t tell the difference between them and the innocent? Or do you want to hurt Yannell where he’s most vulnerable as payback for your friend you think he killed? I’m going to get Lily a lawyer.”

Anger rose in a red wave from Nate’s neck to his face. His eyes burned with fury. “Whatever, but you don’t tell me how to do my job. Have her back here at three.”

“If we find her an attorney by then, we will.”

Brent walked out. “We’re going to lunch, and I’ll make a few phone calls while we eat. We’ll hire you the very best attorney, have you back here at three to meet with Nate, and be done. We'll leave Philly tonight and enjoy our wedding by tomorrow.”

Angie put her arm around Lily to guide her out. Lily looked ready to drop. Her face was pale, and her hands trembled. "It'll be all right," Angie reassured her.

“Lily, I’m sorry for the way Nate treated you. I’ve thought of him as a friend. I shouldn't have been surprised though. He is first and foremost always an FBI agent. His obsession with your father goes much deeper than I realized.”

“He hates my father. I saw it in his eyes. To him, I’m an extension of my father.”

“To explain a little of where he’s coming from, Nate lost a close friend who’d gone undercover in your father’s organization. He’s certain Yannell is responsible. He sent his friend in and blames himself. Part of his hate for your father is a reflection of his own guilt. But forget about him for now. Where do you ladies want to eat?”

After Brent had called a few contacts, he found two attorneys that were supposed to be excellent. He made an appointment with the first name he’d been given. At one o’clock, they were shown into his office.

Angie and Brent sat on either side of Lily. Brent explained what had happened in the past week and about the interview this morning.

The attorney was an older man, probably in his early sixties. He had snow-white hair and deep-set blue eyes, and was medium height with a slim build. He stared directly at Lily.

“You didn’t know anything about your father’s undercover work? You can tell me the truth.”

“Not really. He had a big office and large staff. I thought that was where he made his money.
