Love the Boss: Billionaire Romance (Managing the Bosses Book 4)

by Lexy Timms

  "You wouldn’t have?”

  He shook his head. “Why stir the pot that doesn’t need it? Annette is nothing to Alex, but her money might mean something to his business."

  She nodded. "I hadn't really thought about it like that."

  "What else is going on? Talk to Dr. Mark. Let's make you feel better. I know my brother, and I can tell you that he's beyond smitten with you. You shouldn't let anything get in the way of that." Mark took another bite of his burger. “What else is bugging you? Bitch it out, girl. It’s amazing how much better it makes you feel.” He pretended to sway his head and shake it side to side.

  Jamie burst out laughing. “You go, sister! Oops, I mean brother.”

  “Spill it, girl.”

  “Fine!” Jamie settled back into her seat and tried to think of something else that was bugging her. It didn’t take long. "The girl who came by today. She's incredibly cute, and I know I shouldn't be jealous, Mark, but anyone who has a history with someone else is a little unnerving, you know?" She ate another fry and let out a short sigh. “She’s stinkin’ cute. Cheerleader cute. And you know what that means?”

  He raised an eyebrow. “What does that mean.”

  “She’s probably a gymnast or crazy flexible.”

  Mark covered his eyes with one of his large hands. “Really? I’m having this kind of conversation with you?”

  “You’re the one who told me to bitch.”

  “Okay, okay. I think I know what you mean.” He took a swig of his Coke and frowned as he set it back down. “I think that one’s yours. It tastes like diet crap.” He grinned and switched drinks. "So my ex, Paula, had this old 'friend' who was supposed to just be a neighbor she grew up with. The guy ends up working with her, and she might not have thought too much of him, but, honey, let me tell you... he thought plenty of her. It's rare to have a relationship with the opposite sex as a kid and not have one of you in love with the other. It happens, I guess, but rarely." He snorted.

  "What happened with the guy?" Jamie leaned in, more interested in the situation with Paula than her own.

  "He got a little touchy-feely with her one night in the office and she whupped him with her purse and called security. The woman is mean. Really mean. At least that’s the story she told me." He made a funny face and shivered. "I'm glad to be out of that old life. She didn't scare me, of course, but she's just mean- spirited."

  "I gathered that." Jamie chuckled. "I guess I just need to talk to Alex about Kristen. She seemed so sweet that I hate to be sitting over here wondering how I'm going to tell her to back off my man. Stopping by to thank him for something that he did years ago was odd enough, but taking him to lunch?"

  "Yeah, but, you know, we're from a small town. People don't think about stuff like that. She just found him and happened to be in the city." He rolled his shoulders. "You have nothing to worry about. Seriously. She's as good as they come."

  "That's part of what worries me." She took another bite of her burger as her phone buzzed.

  "If that's Alex, tell him I said hi, unless he's going to get all hurt and shit again about us eating together. I guess he'd prefer that we eat alone."

  “Stop it, silly.” She rolled her eyes and answered the phone. "Hey, baby. Where are you?"

  "I'm at home. I thought I would order some pizza and come home to hang out with you and Mark. Where are you guys?"

  "We stopped to get a burger, but we're almost done. I didn't think you were coming home until late."

  "Yeah, me neither. I just couldn't stop thinking about you. You looked pretty upset today, and, honestly, after hearing that Gina might be dipping into my accounts, I just..." He sounded beyond defeated.

  "I know. I'm a little bummed out by it too, but let's not jump to conclusions until we talk to her." Jamie tapped the table, and glanced up to find Mark watching her.

  "He okay?" Mark whispered.

  Jamie nodded. "We're coming home. Just kick off your shoes and play with Jake."

  "Alright. Hurry up. Tell my brother I'm getting damn tired of playing second fiddle to him." His chuckle was enough to let her know that he wasn't being jealous, but silly.

  "Never."

  “Then how about you grab me a burger to go? Pretty please?”

  She grinned. “Of course. Hold the onions?”

  “I like—ohhhh, yeah, hold the onions.” His chuckle sounded beyond good through the phone.

  “Will do; love ya.” She ended the call and picked up her burger, eating it in a few bites before nodding to Mark's food. "Eat up. The boss man is home and he wants us there too."

  "Aye, aye, Captain. This I can do."

  They finished quickly and Jamie ordered take-out for Alex. They were quiet on the drive home, each seemingly lost in their own thoughts.

  Mark pulled into the garage. “Do you mind if I just head back to my place? It’s been a long day and I could go for some veg time on the couch in front of the television.”

  “You can do that at Alex’s.”

  “In my boxers?”

  “Hell no!” Jamie shook her head and laughed. His excuse was lame, but she knew what he was trying to do. He just wanted to give her and Alex time together. She got out of the car and slammed the door shut. “Thanks, Mark. I owe you one.”

  He winked. “Anytime, sister. Anytime.”

  She headed into the house through the garage entrance, and Mark headed out as the garage door closed and passed the side window to his apartment below. Jamie walked in to find Alex on the couch, a beer in his hand.

  "There's my girl. Where's your bodyguard?" He lifted his eyebrow.

  "He's gone home so that you can have me all to yourself. See... he's not that bad a guy." Jamie kicked off her shoes and crawled up on the couch beside him, stretching out and laying her head in his lap.

  "He's a great guy." Alex leaned down and kissed her lips softly. "That's half the problem. If you start comparing us, I might just come up short."

  "I doubt that." She watched him closely, loving how his blue eyes filled with desire when he looked at her. She reached up and brushed her fingers by his goatee as she bit on her lip. "I think we should go run a hot bath and sink down into it together. What do you think?"

  "I'm not thinking at all anymore. All of the blood in my body just rushed south." He took another sip of his beer before helping her up. "I'll go run the bath. You get two glasses and pick out a bottle of wine you like."

  "This night is just getting better and better." Jamie got up and walked into the kitchen, deciding on a bottle of Chianti and grabbing a handful of some chocolates that Alex picked up at the store the week before.

  The smell of roses filled her nose as she walked into the bedroom and set everything down on his bed. An evening with nothing but him to focus on was exactly what she needed.

  "Where's Jake?" Concern brushed across her.

  "I got him a new bed. Didn't you see it in the pantry? He loved it. I bet he's asleep in there." Alex walked out as he finished unbuttoning his shirt. The firm muscles of his chest and abs played peek-a-boo as he stopped and smiled. "Come here and let me strip you," he commanded in a sexy voice.

  "Yes, boss." Jamie moved toward him, only limping once due to her ankle. He pulled her close, his fingers tangling in her hair as he consumed her mouth. She pressed her hands to his warm, silky skin and slid them around his waist and over the curve of his rear.

  "Mmmm... you taste like peppermints." He licked at his lips before working on her belt. "You look like heaven. I wonder what you feel like inside."

  "I do?" She ran her fingers through his hair as he pulled her dress up over her thighs, her hips, and slowly over her head. It was the perfect kind of torment.

  "My kind of heaven for sure." He tossed her dress behind her somewhere and pressed his mouth to the side of her neck as she forced his shirt from his shoulders.

  "Good. I like hearing that." She reached back and undid her bra, pulling it from her body and flinging it behind her.

  A
lex didn't waste any time, but instead cupped her heavy breast with one hand and moved down to roll his tongue around the tight nipple of the other. He groaned softy, and her sound of pleasure echoed his perfectly.

  "The tub." She jerked from him and moved into the bathroom to find the water at the perfect level. The bubbles were over the top, but they could clean up the mess in the morning, or wait for Alex's maid service to come the next day.

  "I'm getting the wine."

  "It's on the bed. I grabbed some chocolates too." Jamie pulled her panties off and got into the warm water, sinking down and letting out a long sigh as he walked back in.

  "Fuck. You look so hot like that, baby. Pull your legs up and press your feet to the wall like the girls in the pictures do." He grinned, looking like a little boy in a candy store.

  "Do I look like I want my picture taken?" She turned and gave him a look, but lifted her legs and pressed them against the wall in front of her as she let her back slid down farther into the water.

  "I knew you'd do it for me." He moved toward the tub and slid his hand down her shin, over her knee, and up her thigh. She half expected him to stop, but hoping he wouldn’t. He knelt beside the tub instead and cupped her mound, pressing his fingers against her tightly. "I want in here."

  "Then stop talking about it and get your pants off. There's plenty of room in the tub and inside me for you." She picked up a handful of bubbles and blew them at him playfully.

  He growled sensually and got up, working his pants and boxers off before stepping in behind her.

  Jamie sat up and straightened her back until the top of her head brushed by his sac playfully.

  He reached down and touched the side of her face before moving to sit behind her. "I love you so much. It's so nice to have you remind me that nothing really matters but this. But us."

  "It's the truth. All that fame and money will fade away eventually, but if we have each other, then we're set for life." She laid against him and wiggled this way and that until she found a comfortable position. His cock was rock-hard, and big enough to press into her back in a way that was less than pleasant.

  "I like that. A lot." His hands slid over her wet skin, one moving up to tug at her nipple softly and the other to slide through the slick folds between her thighs. "I like this too. You feel good against me. Right."

  "I plan on being here for a long time." She arched her back and let out a groan as he rimmed the entrance to her body.

  "In the tub, or with me?" He chuckled darkly against the side of her neck before sliding his finger deep inside her. "I love your body. It's my favorite playground."

  "Better be your only." She pressed against his hand and turned her face toward him before reaching up and pulling him into a long, hot kiss.

  His tongue probed her mouth, licking and teasing her much like his fingers worked to do.

  A cry left her as she came, but he pressed his lips tightly to hers and drank her pleasure, groaning softly deep inside his chest as well.

  He smiled as she whimpered and turned away from the kiss. "Only the beginning of another long night."

  She moved his hand from her body and slid back, sitting in his lap as his cock pressed against her need. "Good. I hope you're up for it." She jerked down and took him into her as he sat up and gripped her shoulders, pushing her down farther and yelling her name.

  Chapter 11

  The sound of Alex's sharp inhale raced across her exposed skin and sent a tendril of pleasure through the center of her.

  "Oh, fuck." She rolled her hips and reached out to grip the side of the tub to help pull herself up before sliding back down. She had never had sex in a tub before, and the warm water sliding around her and the scents and oils in the tub only sent her body begging for a hard release.

  He groaned and pressed his teeth into the back of her shoulder as he gripped her hips tightly, his nails digging in just a little. "Hold yourself up by moving to your knees and let me fuck you."

  "Yes," she whispered and slid to her knees, but kept her rear hovered over his waist, his body still buried deep inside her. "The pressure is—"

  “Fucking intense." He shifted just a little and pressed into her as she undulated her hips, working him as best she could from the angle he seemed to want her in.

  Strong fingers pressed into the muscles of her back as he continued his slow, deep thrusting. She relaxed and let her shoulders sag as he took over their sex, his body more than enough to bring hers toward the edge of ecstasy over and over again.

  "You're so fucking beautiful, Jamie. Did you know that?" He wrapped a hand around the back of her neck and picked up his pace a little. She was almost worried about how her ass looked bouncing against his tight stomach, but she was comforted by his words, leaving nothing but confidence and desire pumping through her.

  "Only because you say so." She reached up and pulled off of him as her ankle screamed in protest. "Take me to the bed so I can stretch out."

  "Anything you want, baby." He got up and stepped out of the tub, drying off a little, and then turning to dry her. He kissed at her breasts as he worked the towel down the front of her and brushed the bubbles from her skin.

  She let out a yelp as he bent down and picked her up, holding as he might do on their wedding night when they crossed the threshold of their home for the first time.

  Should I even hope for such a day?

  "Put me down, you caveman." She smiled up at him and hit his chest softly with her balled-up fist.

  "Not happening. Your ankle’s hurt, and, besides, I like feeling like you’re helpless and need me. It's a good feeling."

  "How so?" She smirked at him as he lay her down on the bed.

  "Because you're self-sufficient, which I love, but it's a nice reminder that maybe you do need me around from time to time." He ran his hands up her thighs and over her hips before latching on tightly and tugging her to the edge of the bed. "Keep your legs against my chest and relax. I wanna watch your breasts bounce while I take my time with you."

  "You're so naughty." She pulled herself to the very edge of the bed, letting her butt hang off just a little, and lifted her legs, her feet comfortably on either side of his face.

  "Only because of you." He wrapped his hands around her calves and turned to press his lips softly to her hurt ankle. "I want this checked by a doctor if it keeps bothering you, okay?"

  "Fine. I'm not talking about anything but us right now." She reached around her rear and stroked his sac, tugging at it a little. "Get to it."

  "I can't think of anything I'd rather do." He bent his knees a little and lifted, impaling her on his thickness as she cried out in pleasure.

  "How is that so fucking good, every time?" Jamie reached for him, and her moved his hands down her legs, gripping her wrists instead and using his hold on her to give her exactly what she'd asked for.

  Closing her eyes, she lifted her chin the ceiling and tried to remember how to breathe before realizing that she was missing out on watching him as he lost himself to her. She glanced up at him and the look on his handsome face stole her breath.

  "I love the way you watch me." She grunted subtly and bit her lip to keep from crying out again.

  "I love the way you're a lady in the office, and yet a freak in my bed. I have no doubt that, if I told you that I needed some part of you, you wouldn't invite me in." He licked at his lips, his words searing her resolve to keep quiet.

  "I'm gonna come." She arched her back and lifted a little as Alex drove into her harder and harder, leaving her breathless and drowning in pleasure as it burst from her center.

  "I'm going to..." He pulled tighter and grunted as he lost himself in her. She watched as his face contorted into something more beautiful than she imagined possible.

  He stood a moment later and smiled down at her, a light sheen of sweat covering his skin. "I love you like crazy."

  She pushed against his strong chest with her good foot, and used her arms to move up the bed as he watched her with
wicked intent. "I love you more."

  "I'm not done." He moved to crawl up the bed, his body a sensual feast that she wasn't ever going to get enough of.

  "I'm glad. Come up here and finish what you started in the tub." She reached for him as he moved up and pressed his body to the front of hers. His fingers ran through her hair as he leaned down and kissed her softly.

  "How can you make me want to fuck you like a wild man, and yet some part of me wants to make sweet love to you just to remind you how much I adore you?" He brushed his nose along her cheek and breathed in deeply. "I can't do both at one time. What do you want from me, woman?"

  She licked at his mouth before turning her gaze up to his. "I want both."

  He chuckled low in his chest. "Then get busy."

  They rolled, and Jamie sat up on top of him. She worked to get her long hair into a messy bun while he ran his hands up and down her thighs, his eyes never leaving her.

  "Damn, you're fine. I could just stay like this and watch you move around." He reached up and fondled her breasts, squeezing softly as she leaned over and pressed her hands to his chest.

  "That wouldn't be much fun for either of us." She slid her hand up his chest and over his shoulders as she flattened herself against him. With a quick roll of her hips, he was back inside her, right where he belonged. "Hold on tight. I'm in the mood for a little bit of love and a whole lot of lust."

  His eyes widened a little as he slid his hands down her back. A soft tap to her rear had her moaning just before he gripped her tighter. "Let's see whatchya got, baby."

  Jamie used her body to massage him fully, bringing him to the edge and then stopping, just to tease him properly. He cried out several times and nothing felt more powerful than gripping his pleasure tightly and him knowing it.
