The Billionaire’s Lighthouse Series: A Billionaire, Bad Boy, Romance

by Michelle Love

  The other tit is begging for my attention so I move my mouth to it and take it in, and massage the other tit while I devour this sweet one. The smell of her skin is intoxicating.

  Everything about her is, actually. The way her body is rocking gently as I take her breasts lets me know I’m pleasing her. And the fact she’s allowing it is amazing.

  I have to admit I wasn’t sure she’d be all in with me. I have quite a bit of baggage and hiding things isn’t something a lot of women will do. But when our lips met, it was like time stopped.

  She must’ve felt it too or we wouldn’t be in the bedroom right now.

  The thought of the kiss makes me move my mouth away from the delicious tit, up her chest over her chin and back to those luscious lips of hers. My tongue moves into her mouth and hers catches it and they run around together inside her mouth.

  Her hot and sweet mouth tastes of the cognac we both had. Her hands run over my back and I pull away from her only long enough to pull the T-shirt off. Then I’m back to her and kiss her with more need than I’ve ever felt.

  Her hands go to the button on my jeans and I pull away again and get rid of them. She sits up and pulls her sweatshirt the rest of the way off. With a smile, I grab her sweatpants and pull them off then run my hand over the little pair of black panties she has on.

  “Black, you naughty girl.” With one yank they’re off and she makes a little yelp. I look at her as her expression is one of surprise.

  Since she’s surprised anyway, I flip her over and land a healthy slap on her pristine ass and take her waist in my hands and pull her back until she’s on her knees.

  Running my hands over her rounded ass I feel my cock growing in anticipation of being inside her. Raking my nails over her white cheeks leaves pink trails behind them.

  Her body’s shaking already and I haven’t even really begun to do what I’m going to do to her.

  I catch her by the waist again and flip her onto her back. Her breath comes out as her back hits the bed and she looks at me with stormy eyes filled with desire.

  Pulling her legs to get her ass to the edge of the bed, I watch her as she moves and her hair splays out over the dark red comforter. Then I move to my knees to have better access to her sweet spot and she will soon be screaming my name.

  Chapter 10

  BETH

  My heart is pounding as I watch him go to his knees. Channing Michaels is about to kiss me in my most intimate area.

  This is like a dream. Not even a dream come true as I’ve never even dreamed about Channing Michaels in this way. I’ve never dreamt about him at all.

  But he’s very real and very much attracted to me and I’m very confused by it all. I don’t know why he is. I’m just glad he is.

  His mouth is a miracle of hot, wet, sin that knows how to make me want him so much more than I ever wanted any of the others guys who have done the very same things to me with none of the results he’s producing.

  “Oh, God!” I shriek as his lips touch my clit.

  I feel him smile then the tip of his tongue runs over it and I shout, “Channing!”

  I’m screaming his name already and it hasn’t even gotten to the good part yet.

  What the hell am I going to do when that happens?

  His hands move softly over my hips then he grabs my ass and pulls my body up. His fingers press into my flesh and send sparks through me.

  I can’t stop moaning as he kisses me there. His tongue stroking my clit then down my folds and running erotically around the edge of my vagina. Its pulsing inside, wanting more.

  My entire body is aching to feel him inside me. At this moment, though, I am thoroughly enjoying his deep kiss. The way the heat from his mouth has me hot and wanting.

  His silky dark hair I have fisted in both hands and hang on to him as if my life depends on it. Small waves are crashing inside me with each deft lick. Then he puts all of his attention on my clit.

  Licking it over and over until I can take no more and scream his name again as I climax. “Channing! God!”

  All of a sudden he’s up and picking me up and tossing me up higher on the bed and his body is all over mine. Pinning me to the bed with his tall muscled body, he thrusts his hard, long, and wide cock deep into my pulsing pussy and starts making hard strokes.

  His breath is hot on my ear as he takes short panting breaths. My nails rake over his back as the orgasm won’t stop. I’m writhing under his weight. Loving every bit of the way he feels on top of me.

  I arch up to meet each thrust and his raspy voice whispers in my ear, “Fuck, you feel amazing. I could fuck you forever.”

  Somehow my heart pounds even harder with his words.

  Will he do this to me forever?

  I’m not talking about this particular session of sex but in general.

  Is this something that can last forever?

  He starts making even harder thrusts and his breath is hard as he pumps into me over and over until his body stiffens and his cock pours his juices into me.

  My body responds by going into a deeper orgasm and squeezing his dick to give me all he has. I shriek and moan and buck like I’ve never done before. But I’ve never felt this before. There are just no words to describe the intensity of the pleasure that’s flowing though me right now.

  Then he pulls back and looks at me with a worried expression. “Fuck! Are you on some type of birth control?”

  I nod and he sighs and his head falls to my neck. His hot breath makes little puffs of air against my skin. His lips graze my skin as he murmurs, “Thank, God.”

  After we catch our breath and our bodies stop all the pulsing and jerking he pulls his head up and looks at me. One hand comes up to brush some of my hair out of my face.

  His lips touch mine for a moment then he says, “Thank you. You have no idea how much I needed that.”

  I smile. “You’re welcome.”

  His eyes do look brighter.

  He rolls just to the side of me and his arm lies over my stomach as he leans his head on his hand and looks down at me. “Can I ask you something, Beth?”

  “Anything you want.” I run my hand over his stubbled cheek.

  “Can I ask you not to be with anyone else while we’re together? Even though this has to stay just between us for now?” He looks into my eyes then smiles. “Oh. And I won’t be with anyone else either.”

  I smile and have to close my eyes. “This can’t be really happening.”

  His lips touch my cheek. “It’s really happening, Baby. All of it is. So what do you say? I need to know. I think I’ll lose my shit if I see you with anyone else. And I can’t lose my shit right now.”

  Opening my eyes, I see him looking at me. “Are you being serious?”

  “I am.” His lips touch my chin. The he’s back to looking at me. “So?”

  “This is all so hard to believe. I feel like I’ve stepped into an alternate reality.”

  His lips touch mine again. “You sure are making me wait a long time for your answer, Baby. Did you not feel what I did?”

  “I don’t know what you felt. What I felt was beyond amazing.” I look into his eyes as I run my hands up to take his face in between them. “If you’re serious then, yes. I won’t be with anyone else.”

  Relief fills his gorgeous face and his eyes twinkle. “Yes!”

  He kisses me again and this time, his mouth lingers on mine. Just our lips touching and him moving them over mine with delicate soft touches.

  It sends waves of something through me. Like heat and electricity only wrapped in velvet. It’s the oddest, coolest thing ever.

  So is this considered being in a relationship?

  Chapter 11

  CHANNING

  Two weeks have passed since I hired Beth and she’s already made my life easier. And not just because she and I have sex. A hell of a lot of sex.

  She’s smart and so good at prioritizing. She handles all my scheduling and after this little meeting with the manager o
f my hockey team, I’m taking her to lunch at Sushi Deli.

  The girl has never been there, and that’s a crime!

  “So where are you taking me for lunch, Boss man?” Cole, my hockey manager asks me.

  “Huh?” I look up at him and stop typing away on my cell to tell Beth to get her hot little ass over here. “Lunch?”

  He smiles. “Yep.”

  It slipped my mind that we do go have lunch after our once a month meetings. “Sushi Deli. My personal assistant is coming too. I have to sign some papers for her.”

  “Cool, we can take my car. That little two-seater you drive is too small for me anyway,” he says as he stands up and stretches his long legs.

  “My legs aren’t short and I don’t mind it.” I turn to see who’s coming into the arena the team is practicing in and find Beth tapping away at her phone as she comes in.

  My eyes travel over her. She’s wearing the outfit I picked out for her last night before I left. I never spend the entire night. I can’t have anyone seeing my car there overnight or word would get out.

  Tight white slacks hug every curve and her ass looks amazing. A cropped sheer tan top covers a white camisole. Nude heels make her legs look long and lean and I love the way she’s pulling the whole thing off.

  One long braid goes over her left shoulder and the gold necklace I gave her hangs down between her perfect breasts. The gold cross encrusted with small diamonds picks up the overhead lights and shines.

  The sound of a low whistle comes from beside me. “That her?”

  I turn to see Cole ogling my girl. “That’s my assistant, yes, Cole.”

  He’s up and walking to her before I can even get out of the stadium chair. With his hand extended, he says, “Nice to meet you, I’m Cole the manager of The Skippers. You are the boss’s new assistant, I’ve heard. And my date for lunch today.”

  She shakes his hand and smiles. “I’m Beth Stattler, Cole. Nice to meet you. And I don’t date.”

  Good girl!

  “Don’t date?” He laughs and takes her left hand in his. “I don’t see a ring. So why don’t you date? You’re way too pretty to be alone, Babydoll.”

  She leans around him to look at me. “Ready, Channing?”

  I nod and get up as Cole slips his arm around her shoulders. “Like I was saying, you’re way to pretty, Beth. So what’s the story on you?”

  “No story.” She looks at me as I come up on the other side of her. “Just way too busy with my new job. A job I love and would never want to lose.”

  “You love it?” I ask and have a feeling she means she loves me. “That’s good. I love having you.”

  Her smile as she looks up at me melts my heart. She fingers the cross around her neck and says, “You do?”

  I nod and look at Cole. “You now the rule, Cole. No dating my assistants.”

  “I know of no such rule. Your only assistant was Lori, and she was married.” His arm tightens around Beth’s shoulders. “Anyway, this little lady needs to have some time off from being your slave.” His mouth goes close to her ear and my heart starts to pound. “What do you say to a little fun this evening? I know this rocking club downtown. Do you like to dance?”

  “I think I have to do next week’s schedule this evening. Channing has a lot going on next week and it’s going to take some major concentration to get it mapped out for him,” she says as we go outside. “Thanks for the invite, though. That’s nice of you.”

  Leading her to his car, he goes to open the front door and stands back, gesturing for her to get in the front seat. She looks back at me and I give her a nod. “I’ll take the back seat, Beth.”

  She slides in and I look at Cole as he closes the door. “Come on man. Let me have a whack at her, Boss man.”

  I shake my head. “You should stop before she has to burst your bubble. She’s nice, but not so nice she won’t put a stop to your shenanigans, Cole.”

  He bites his lip as he walks by me. “Those tits are scrumptious.”

  I bite my lip and get into the back seat. Before he gets in, I lean up and whisper, “You want him?”

  Beth looks back at me and smiles. “No!”

  I lean back. “Good.”

  Cole is a handsome man. He usually has to beat the women off with a stick and the fact Beth isn’t at all attracted to him makes me feel like we’re moving along fine.

  If only Jana would be declared dead, this thing could be out in the open and no man would dare hit on her if they knew she was mine.

  Cole slides in behind the steering wheel of his Dodge Charger and looks over at Beth. “The boss said we’re going for sushi. But I won’t take him there if you want something else.”

  She laughs and looks back at me. “Didn’t you tell me the sushi at this place was to die for, Boss?”

  I nod. “It is. But if you’d prefer somewhere else it can be your choice.”

  “I want to try it. So do as our boss says, Cole.” She turns around and I gaze at her dark hair in the nice braid and want to wrap my hand around it.

  Fantasizing about her is something I do often when I’m not actually making love to her. She fills my thoughts. Something no one else ever has.

  Cole pulls up to the little restaurant and I get out and open her door. He’s quick though and with a couple of long strides makes his way around the car and takes her hand. “This way, Beth.”

  I’m so busy watching him hold the hand that belongs to me, I don’t see the couple walking out of the restaurant door. “Channing?” I hear a woman say.

  I look away from Beth and Cole’s clasped hands and find Jana’s mother and father looking at me. But before I can say a word, their youngest daughter, Lori, walks out. “You!” she shrieks.

  Again before I can open my mouth I see Beth stop and pull her hand out of Cole’s. She’s by my side in a heartbeat. “Mr. Michaels is very busy today. I’m afraid there’s no time for this.”

  She takes me just above my elbow and maneuvers me around the three. Lori glares at me and Jana’s mother and father look at me with slack jaws. I hear Lori say, “What a piece of shit.”

  Beth’s hand tenses on my arm. “It’s okay,” I whisper as we walk into the restaurant.

  Cole looks back at us. “The old in-laws. I can see they still think you’re a killer.”

  “Looks like it,” I say as he takes a table near the window.

  He pulls out a chair for Beth and she takes it. “Thank you, Cole.” Her eyes travel over the room and she smiles. “Looks like I’m the envy of every single woman in here.”

  “Don’t care who’s looking my way. I only have eyes for you, Doll,” he says and I groan with the line.

  “Please, Cole. You’re making me lose my appetite with your dorky lines.” I wave at the waitress who hurries over. “Tell Michio we want a platter of whatever is the most fresh, please. And some lemon waters.”

  She nods and hurries off to get our order. Cole looks over at me. “Beth may have wanted something different.”

  I turn my eyes to hers. “I know what Beth likes.”

  Her eyes go wide and she looks at Cole. “He told me this morning he wanted me to try this place. I may have grown up near here, but I’ve never been to this place. I trust Channing’s judgment. He has excellent taste.”

  Cole leans up and leans his chin in his palm and gazes at Beth. “He sure does have excellent taste. He picked you to be his assistant after all. Come on. Go out with me.”

  Just as I’m about to really lay into him, she reaches out and places her hand on his shoulder. “Cole, you seem like a great guy. You really do. And to say I don’t find you attractive would be a lie. But here’s the thing, I don’t like to date anyone I work with. You know, it can get all uneasy if it doesn’t work out. I hope to be with Channing for many years and I bet you do too. So, you see, we need to remain on friendly terms, you and I. So it’s best to leave dating out of the equation. It’s what’s best for the company.”

  So I can add to the growing li
st of things this young woman excels at, the art of diplomacy.

  Cole looks at her then at me. “Too bad you hired her, then. It seems I might have had a shot. Any chance she isn’t working out for you and you might let her go?”

  With a shake of my head, he sighs and Beth laughs. “You’re silly, Cole.”

  He’s not silly at all. He’s also shown me how hard this is going to be to keep quiet about.

  How many more men will I be able to tolerate coming on to her before I blow up?

  Chapter 12

  BETH

  Three weeks into this thing we have going on and I’ve fallen so hard for this man. Channing is unlike any other man I’ve ever known. He snuck me out to his beach house as he calls it. It’s a beach mansion in my opinion.

  I took my car home to my apartment and a little later he came in his mother’s car to pick me up then took me to his beach house and told his mother he’d bring her car back to her in the morning.

  He told her he was getting the oil changed for her, like the good son he is. Channing is just plain good. I can’t see how anyone could think he killed his wife. And I don’t see how she could’ve ever cheated on him.

  He’s the best lover I’ve ever had!

  Carrying two glasses of red wine, Channing comes into his bedroom. He told me he’d never shared the bed with Jana so I feel okay about being in here.

  My heart stops as he leans in to kiss me before he places one of the glasses in my hand. “Here you go, Baby.”

  We just got out of a hot shower and I’m wrapped in a towel and he has one wrapped around his waist. With a quick movement, he has my towel off and lying on the floor.

  I pull his off and we place our glasses on the bedside table and he tosses me onto the soft mattress. I hold out my hand, stopping him before he jumps on me. “Open the window. I love the sound of the ocean out here.”

  He pads over to the window and pulls it open as I watch his muscles move with every step.

  Damn, his ass is fine!

  As he comes back towards me, he stops and looks at me. “That’s where I want to see you every single night, Beth.”

  “We both know that can’t happen yet, Channing.” I hold out my arms. “Come to me.”
