  I knew that I was going to cum again, hard—it was inevitable. He was pounding my pussy so good. It was a hard, rough fuck—just what I needed after being without him for so long. I was powerless against his thrusts because he held my arms back so that I was constantly pressed against him. I felt the buildup coming inside of me. My pussy tightened around his cock as he continued to pound against my ass.

  I cried out as I exploded on his cock.

  “Oh baby, oh baby, I’m cumming.”

  He slowed his pumping down and released one of my hands. His fingers found my clit, and I moaned as he rubbed hard against it. Everything was ultrasensitive after my orgasm, so the sensation was thrilling.

  He slid out of me and pulled me up with my other hand. I was a little out of sorts from my orgasm, but I followed him as he led me to the dresser. He pushed me up against it, and I braced myself against the top. I bent over, my ass pointed in the air. I heard him groan, though it wasn’t so much a groan as it was a growl. He couldn’t wait to fuck me again, and he made me aware of that when he plunged inside me once again. He went in deep, and the hardness of his cock left me immobilized. He was incredibly gifted with the length and girth of his cock, and every inch of him was filling me up to perfection.

  “Fuck me, baby. Fuck me hard.”

  A little roughness never hurt anyone, and I was so beyond horny at that point that I just wanted him to bury himself in me deep and fuck me hard again.

  He pounded inside of me, and I turned around to look at him. He was an incredibly handsome man. And god, that body, so hard and sculpted. It was like he had been photoshopped—he was that perfect to look at. I watched him as he fucked me, and the sight of him pounding into me drove me insane. I came again onto his cock, and I cried out with pleasure.

  “You feel so good, baby. Your pussy is so nice and tight. You feel incredible.”

  “I need your cock, baby. God you feel good.”

  “You want my cum, baby? You want me to pump your pussy full of cum?”

  I moaned eagerly, and he thrust inside of me harder and faster as I felt myself losing control. He cried out as well when he spilled inside of me. He slowed down his thrusts and rubbed my clit slowly, and it felt as luxurious as it always did. I kissed the top of his head, trying to catch my breath.

  We moved to the bed, then lay there for an hour, not speaking but just holding each other tight. I wasn’t sure what was going to happen next. I didn’t know what was right and what was wrong anymore. All my decisions had still led to that moment there with Ben. That moment where I knew I could never go back. It had always been Ben. He had stood by me no matter what my decisions were, while my husband sabotaged every moment we had together with jealousy.

  I had thought having the baby would have completed our family and killed all the jealousy, but it hadn’t. He had allowed his jealousy to poison our relationship to the point where he was hardly at home to even see his daughter. I knew I couldn’t live like that anymore. I knew that I had put my fair share of effort into the relationship and shouldn’t feel any guilt in leaving. But I did anyway, because I loved him and I knew deep down he loved me, and that his worst fears would come true when I walked out on him. Even worse, to find out that I eventually ended up with Ben anyway would surely kill him inside.

  I had made the wrong choice once already. I wasn’t about to do it again. I was going to start living the life I wanted, the life I should have had from the beginning. I was done choosing the wrong man. I would grab hold of Ben and never let him go. It was my turn to shine and be loved in the way I deserved.

  “I need to go, Ben,” I whispered.

  “Where?”

  “You know where.”

  “Let me get dressed, and I will come with you.”

  I laughed. “You know that’s not going to happen.”

  “I would stand beside you against any adversary.”

  I looked into his eyes and smiled. “I know you would, but this is something I need to do on my own, for me.”

  “I’m here if you need me. I won’t leave this room until I hear from you.”

  I kissed him on the mouth, jumping out of bed to get dressed. I wasn’t looking forward to finding Matt, but it had to be done. I said goodbye, telling him I would see him soon, and headed for the door.

  Chapter Twenty-One

  Katie

  I returned to our home late and was shocked to find that Matt was not there. I had assumed that was where he had gone to after he left the event, but it was clear that no one was home. Where could he have gone to? I couldn’t imagine why he wouldn’t return home. Though it was likely that he had gone to his office and continued to work like he always did. The team practically ran itself these days, so I couldn’t imagine what he did for so many hours at the office.

  I sent Ben a message letting him know that I was going to bed. I had not found Matt, and I would not be able to speak with him until the next day, and that was only if I could find him at that point. I went to find the nanny and excused her for the evening and went to check on Bella.

  Bella slept soundly in her crib, not one worry in that pretty little head. The child grew more beautiful every time I saw her, if that were possible. It was the only good thing that came from my marriage, and she would never be a regret of mine. I kissed Bella’s forehead, being careful not to wake her. I returned to my own bedroom and prepared myself for bed. I was so exhausted that I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

  * * *

  The next morning, Matt woke me up early. Confused and bleary eyed, I rolled over, unsure of where I was at first.

  “Good morning, beautiful. I made you coffee.”

  I sat up in bed. I was irritated that Matt was waking me up so early, and I was even more irritated that he seemed in a good mood.

  “Where is Bella?”

  “Your parents have her. They stopped in this morning.”

  “Why?”

  “I asked them to stop in.”

  I didn’t like where the conversation was going. I hadn’t had any coffee yet, and Matt was pretending that things were okay again. “I’m not in the mood for your plans, Matt.”

  “C’mon, we need to discuss last night.”

  I checked the clock. “What the hell, Matt. It’s 7 a.m. This couldn’t wait until I had a small amount of sleep or a pot of coffee?”

  “I’ve been up all night, Katie. I can’t wait any longer.”

  “Yes, well, where were you last night? You weren’t here when I returned, and why the hell did you leave me in the first place?”

  “I can’t stand you being around Ben.”

  I rolled my eyes. “Oh for god’s sake. I’m not going to be deliberately rude to someone just because you don’t like him. He has done nothing wrong. You act as if he stole me away from you. I’ve been yours all along.”

  “Until last night.”

  “Excuse me?”

  “I returned to the event to retrieve you, but you had already left.”

  My mouth dropped open, shocked. I took a deep breath and regained my composure. “I bet you think you’re a real hero for returning after you abandoned me at a social event to find my own way home. Did you expect me to stick around and be further humiliated?”

  “I’m sorry I got upset.”

  “That would be the understatement of the year.”

  “Why did you leave?”

  “I didn’t, not technically.”

  He stared at me, and I just waited him out.

  “Why did you do it?” I could see in his eyes that his heart was breaking, that he knew this was the end.

  “You acted like a fool, and I got tired of it.”

  “I think you always wanted him.”

  “No, that’s not true. I married you because I fell in love with you.”

  “Then why are you leaving me?”

  “I think you know why. You aren’t capable of changing or letting go, and I can’t spend my life arguing over
the same things over and over again.”

  “Are you in love with him?”

  “I think I’ve always had feelings for him, but I was in love with you and committed to our marriage. But that wasn’t enough for you.”

  He had his head in his hands, and I knew it was all over with. I needed to start making some plans. “You need to sleep in the guesthouse, Matt. I have to be here with Bella. Until we have things figured out, you can’t be in here with me.”

  He nodded and got up to leave the room. I took a quick shower, letting my tears flow for my failed marriage, and then called my parents to make arrangements to keep Bella for a few hours.

  I needed to return to Ben and tell him that I would be his finally. I loved him and I could finally be with him forever, and I refused to wait another moment to tell him. This was my future, and I couldn’t wait to start it.

  Epilogue

  * * *

  “Welcome back Mr. Donovan, Mrs. Donovan. “ I took the blindfold off and looked into the familiar eyes of our old friend Paul. He was still as pale as ever.

  “Oh my god!” I turned around to look at Ben with what must have been a stupid smile on my face. He had whisked me away on his private jet, insisting I wear a blindfold so I wouldn’t know where he was taking me.

  “Hi, Paul. Thanks for your help in arranging all this.” Ben reached forward and shook his hand.

  I was still speechless and couldn’t take my eyes off Ben, the man of my dreams. I had known that he wanted to do something big to celebrate our anniversary, but taking me back to Malawi was the last thing I expected. He knew I’d always wanted to come back, and bringing me here to the place we’d first met was the most romantic gesture I could have imagined. I shouldn’t have been surprised, as he loved trying to outdo himself with every one of his surprises.

  I shook myself out of my daze and turned back to Paul, taking in the familiar surroundings of Ben’s old cabin. “Oh my god. It’s so nice to see you Paul. I’m so overwhelmed right now.”

  Paul chuckled. “I understand. I was pleasantly surprised when Ben contacted me and told me he wanted to surprise you with a trip to check up on how the school and hospital are doing. They’re doing fine, of course, but you’ll get to see that for yourselves shortly. For now I’ll leave you to settle in.” With that Paul walked out of the cabin, leaving me alone with my amazing husband.

  It had been three years since that explosive night at the benefit, and every day felt like a fairytale. Don’t get me wrong, it hadn’t been easy going through a divorce, but I had Ben at my side every step of the way. Matt hadn’t put up much of a fight and our separation was as amicable as could be expected with one person’s worst fears coming to light. The first couple months had been the toughest, trying to figure out how we could both get on with our lives while still being the best parents possible to Bella. Aside from my happiness with Ben, the fact that Matt was finally being a father to Bella again made me realize that our separation was the right thing to do.

  It had taken some time for me to get things together, but once I moved out of the colonial home I had shared with Matt, I moved straight into Ben’s place, and we had rarely been apart since. Ben had welcomed me and Bella with open arms, and we were engaged within a month. After the hoopla of my first wedding, Ben and I both decided we wanted something small and we ended up getting married at city hall with only a few of our closest friends and family.

  Though our wedding might not have been extravagant, that didn’t mean Ben wasn’t still a fan of the grand gesture. He loved whisking me and Bella away for little trips to distant cities or amusement parks to keep his little stepdaughter happy. I had loved Ben before, but seeing how easily he loved and accepted my daughter had given me a sense of happiness I had never known existed.

  “So this is why we took Bella to my parents’ house to stay. How long will we be here?” I still couldn’t wipe the smile off my face.

  Ben stepped closer to me and put his arms around me. “I was thinking a week, but it’s really up to you now. We can stay as long as you like.”

  “Thank you, Ben.” I reached up and planted a kiss on his lips. Our chemistry was still electric and our sex was still incredible, but we had no problem toning it down for some more tender moments every now and then.

  Ben put his hands on my shoulders and started rubbing my arms, his hands moving up and down in a relaxing rhythm. “I know you’ve always wanted to come back here, and I was thinking we might need to cut back on our travel a little in the next little while.”

  I looked into his eyes, confused. I had no problem cutting back, but I could tell there was more he wanted to say. ‘Oh yeah? Why is that?” I asked him.

  “Well, I know we’ve talked about it a little before,’ he started, looking a little nervous. I knew it must be something important for him to be anything less than his usual arrogant self. He took a deep breath. “I want to start trying to have a baby.”

  I couldn’t stop the smile from spreading across my face. The thought of having a little baby girl or boy who looked just like Ben made my heart swell with joy. He was such a good father to Bella, and I had known for a while that he wanted to add another bundle of joy to our little family. I felt tears pool in my eyes. “I want that too, Ben.”

  He smiled the smile that always made my heart melt before leaning down and kissing me with all the love I knew he felt for me. Our tongues dueled as the passion that was always simmering between us flared to life.

  I pulled away from him with a chuckle to look deeply into the eyes of the man I loved more than I thought possible. “In fact, I think there’s no time like the present to start trying,” I said with a saucy wink.

  He chuckled but it quickly turned to a groan as I reached down to rub the front of his shorts the way I knew he loved. He was already half hard, and knowing I could still turn him on so quickly after our years together had my pussy wet already.

  He walked me backward toward the bed, my hand still on his cock. “Anything you want, Mrs. Donovan,” he whispered sexily in my ear.

  I giggled as we felt back onto the bed, my heart full knowing without a doubt that I was with the right man.

  A Billionaire Doctor Romance

  By Alizeh Valentine

  Blurb

  Dirk

  I am a master. An elitist. I am at the top of my field, and I know what I am doing.

  Women want me. They worship me. They come to me to fulfill all their needs—all of them.

  I can have any one of them I want. But I only want her.

  A goddess with a perfect body. So pure, so vulnerable. She takes notice of me, but I obsess over her.

  I know how this game is played, and I know she can have her pick of the lot as well. Anyone would be lucky to have her, and everyone knows it.

  No matter what, no one else can have her. Everyone wants her, but only I can have her.

  I will have her.

  I need her.

  Charli

  I am young, strong and smart. I can make it in this world.

  I know I am beautiful, and my beauty is the kind that the world finds captivating. I turn heads everywhere I go. I mig
ht not act like I notice, but I do.

  Yet, life is a game. Love is a game. Beauty is a game.

  I am beautiful, right?

  Everyone is telling me to change. I’m not good enough as I am.

  I need to be better.

  I want to be on top of the world, but I feel knocked to my knees.

  I will rise again.

  Chapter 1

  Charli

  “No, no, no! Come on, Baby, focus! Focus!”

  I cringe as my Uncle Harvey walks over, his notebook tucked under his arm and a pen behind his ear. With round, mirrored sunglasses that would do John Lennon proud and a bowler cap pulled down to his eyebrows, he doesn’t quite pull off the eccentric look—although he certainly is trying. Of course, no one is going to say that out loud. As one of the biggest producers in Hollywood, Harvey Sykes can look however he wants and still have the respect of everyone in the room.

  “I’m sorry, can we try it again?” I ask, already knowing what he’s going to say.

  “We’re going to have to. That was deplorable acting. I would have thought that my own flesh and blood would have it a little more together than that!” He shakes his head as he walks away, making gestures to the sound guy and the film guy.

  I feel my cheeks flush red. This is the first day going through the scene, and I feel like I am the only one who is causing any kind of issues.
