Billionaire's Valentine - A Standalone Novel (A Billionaire Boss Office Romance Love Story) (Billionaires - Book #7)

by Claire Adams

  The two of them hugged, and I started to walk away.

  “Jordan, can I get your number? I don’t have any girlfriends in the area. I’d love to hang out sometime or something,” Salina said.

  “I don’t actually know my number.” I laughed as I pulled the cell phone Chase had given me out of my pocket. “Just a second.”

  I looked through the phone and tried to figure it out before Salina just dialed her number from my phone instead.

  “There, now I have your number and you have mine. Give me a call sometime and we can get to know each other more.”

  “Okay, I’ll do that. Have a great day.”

  Salina was really nice, and I was kind of excited about the idea that I had made a new friend. It was much easier than I thought it was going to be to make friends in America.

  I gathered up the groceries and picked up Chase’s medicine and then headed back to his house. Hopefully, the combination of medication and ice cream would have him feeling well enough that he could actually tell me what the heck was going on.

  I was surprised I had remembered how to get back to the house. My anxiety over driving in America was overwhelming, and I really didn’t like it. There were far more people in Atlanta than there were in my entire country.

  As I walked into the house, I made my way back to Chase’s bedroom and sat down on the bed next to him. I needed to know what was going on. I wasn’t about to put myself in danger and not at least know the details of that danger.

  “So, let’s talk,” I said to him.

  “It’s nothing too crazy. I just owe a guy money.”

  “And, how does all of this play into you wanting to get married?”

  Chase rolled his eyes, and I could tell he didn’t want to tell me everything. But I needed to know more if I was going to stay around. There were just too many questions. And with people shooting guns and breaking ribs, I needed to know more.

  “If I take over my father’s company, then I will have access to the money I need to pay Escabar back.”

  “This Escabar, is he the one you stole the black book from?”

  “Yes. It was a stupid mistake. I thought I could ensure my safety with it.”

  “Was Escabar the one who came over here and broke your ribs?”

  “No. It was his guys, though. I managed to convince them I didn’t have the book. But eventually, they will figure it out and come back for me. I really don’t know what to do. Maybe you should just leave so you aren’t here when they come back for me.

  “So, you’re just going to sit around here and wait for them to come back for you?”

  I didn’t really know what the right thing to do was, but sitting around his house waiting for them to come back seemed like a really bad idea. I had watched a lot of American crime television, and the very least we could do was go to the FBI or run from the area.

  “Why not just tell your father about your money trouble?” I asked.

  “My father would never let me take over the company. He thinks I’m too impulsive and bad at making decisions.”

  I couldn’t help but smile. His father sure seemed right about Chase. Everything I was hearing seemed to back that up.

  “I think we need to get you out of here so you can heal this weekend,” I said as I let my hand grab his.

  He was so vulnerable, and I couldn’t just leave him like that. I wanted to help him. I decided I would stick around long enough to get him through this mess, and then I could move on afterward if I decided things were not working out.

  The problem I was having was that Chase was so damn cute. Even lying in bed, he had this charisma about him that made me want to kiss him. My body was so drawn to him; I couldn’t stop thinking about the previous night and just how much pleasure he and I had delivered to each other.

  “You are right about getting out of here. My brother has a house just outside of town. He’s traveling for the next few months. We could go out there, for now. Do you think you are up to driving?”

  I liked seeing his mind swarming with ideas. That was the Chase I liked the most. He wasn’t going to just lay back and let things go down the way that Escabar guy wanted them to. He was going to fight.

  “You’ll need to show up to work on Monday and all week if you want to keep building your father’s trust. That means you’re going to need to stay in bed and not move all weekend long,” I said firmly.

  “Get me to his house, and I’ll stay in bed all weekend. I can’t guarantee I won’t move, though,” he said as his hand traced my inner thigh.

  “How can you even think about sex when you are in so much pain?” I laughed.

  “I never stop thinking about you and sex.” He smiled.

  “Okay. Let me gather our things and get the car loaded up, and then I’ll get us out to the house.”

  “By the way, what took so long at the store? Did you get lost?” he asked.

  “It was a pretty big store. But no, I met a nice woman and her boyfriend and started talking to them. They were new to the area also. It was nice.”

  Chase looked very worried at what I said, and I couldn’t figure out why. It wasn’t like I brought some strangers home or anything. I really hoped he wasn’t one of those guys who didn’t want his woman to have any of her own friends. That wasn’t going to work very well for me at all.

  “Be careful, Jordan. Escabar is a sneaky guy. He could have people anywhere.”

  “Chase, come on. How would they even know to talk to me? Escabar doesn’t have any idea who I am.”

  “Jordan, I know these people. They would figure out a way. Let’s just not make any new friends right now. We can work on the friend thing after we get through this.”

  “Fine, but I think you're paranoid.”

  My original idea that Chase was the perfect guy was slowly melting away. He had gotten himself in a whole heap of trouble and now I was exposed to it, as well. But deep down, I was just happy that he wasn’t some sort of sex trafficker who was going to try and sell me off. I still was extremely attracted to him, and I was prepared to help him out and see if we could get through the mess he had gotten himself into.

  With the car loaded full of groceries and belongings, we made our way toward his brother’s cabin. Chase made a point to have me turn random directions and backtrack to make sure no one was following us.

  “My brother, Nathan, would really love you. It’s a good thing he isn’t here.” Chase laughed.

  “Why do you say that?”

  “He travels around the world picking up beautiful women from faraway lands.”

  I couldn’t help but laugh. “He sounds like a Disney movie character.”

  “Oh, he’s certainly not for Disney. He works as a private contractor protecting famous people. He’s a little rough around the edges for Disney.”

  We continued our drive and pulled down a dirt road in the middle of the woods. I seriously doubted Escabar or his guys would be able to find us at all. I could hardly find the place, and Chase was giving me turn-by-turn directions.

  “Why does your brother live in the middle of nowhere?”

  “He’s got some bad PTSD from his military time. He likes the quiet of it out here when he isn’t working.”

  “Does he look like you?” I wondered.

  “Nope. He’s like twice my size and all muscle.”

  “Mmmm, do you have any pictures of him?” I said with a smile.

  “Oh, no. I’m not introducing you two. I’m keeping you for myself.”

  Chase reached over and grabbed my thigh as we pulled in front of his brother’s cabin. I placed the car into first gear and then leaned over to kiss him. I couldn’t resist him. Everything about the situation told me I should walk away, but I had never had that kind of connection with a man before, and I wasn’t about to just give it up like that.

  “Ouch, oooh,” he said as he tried to turn in his seat to keep kissing me.

  “I guess I should stop making out with my patient and get you insi
de,” I said as I got out of the car.

  By the time I had reached the other side of the vehicle, he was out of the car and standing next to it. He grabbed me and pulled me up against him as he let his body rest against the car.

  “Oh, someone has more energy than I thought,” I said.

  “Yes, I think my whole body has lots of energy.”

  He grabbed my hand and put it on his throbbing cock. He certainly did seem full of energy, for someone who had just had the crap beaten out of him earlier in the day.

  “That seems like a bad idea. You can’t even stand. Let’s get you inside.”

  I put his arm around my shoulder and helped him up the stairs and into the house. As much as I loved to play with his throbbing cock, I wasn’t about to have him passing out in the middle of the woods.

  Chase slipped into a big cozy armchair that was next to the couch, and I turned around to head back out to the car to get the rest of our things. But, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back toward him.

  “I think you should stay here for a minute,” he said as he pulled my lips down to meet his.

  “Oh, yeah? You think so?”

  “Yes.” He let his tongue dive into my mouth, and I felt my body react with passion for him that I couldn’t ignore.

  Chapter Thirteen

  Chase

  She was perched over me, with her hands on either side of the chair, while we kissed. The pain medication I had taken was just enough to take the edge off, but certainly wasn’t taking all of the pain away. I shouldn’t have started to kiss Jordan, because as soon as my lips touched hers, I knew I needed more of her. I didn’t care if it was painful; I wanted her.

  Our mouths moved together gently, and I felt her hands move down to my pants as she unzipped them. I took in a deep breath that caused me a ton of pain, but I wasn’t about to tell her that.

  “Are you sure about this?” Jordan asked me as she got onto her knees and looked up at me from between my legs.

  “Fuck yeah,” I said.

  She looked so goddamn sexy on her knees. My cock throbbed with a desire to feel her lips around me. But not in a sordid, back room kind of way. I wanted to make love to her so badly, I could literally taste her in my mouth. But my ribs just hurt too much for me to be moving around like that. Having her mouth around me was the best consolation prize I could think of.

  Her lips wrapped around me slowly, and her eyes looked up at me. I could tell she was checking to see if I was all right. But there was nothing that was going to stop me from having her again. I didn’t care how much pain I was in.

  As her lips held onto me tightly, I closed my eyes and concentrated on the pleasure she delivered to me. She moved slowly and sensually, very different from other blowjobs I had received.

  My whole life had been about hurrying to fuck the girl I was with. The idea of taking the time to enjoy the moment just wasn’t something I had been into before. Perhaps, it was just because I actually liked her, or maybe it was because I had been beaten up only a few hours before, but for whatever reason, I pulled Jordan up from my cock and had her stop.

  I didn’t have a problem with her sucking me; rather, I loved it very much. But I wanted to make love to her. I wanted to hold on to her and feel her body as we moved together.

  “What’s the matter?” she asked.

  I didn’t answer. Instead, I reached up and started to unzip her pants and slide them down. She humored me and helped me out a little, and soon she was standing naked in front of me.

  “Much better,” I said as I pulled her onto my lap.

  She sat with her legs both on one side of me, leaning back against me. The position gave me perfect control over her breasts, as I let my fingers lightly touch her and move down her body. Jordan lay back against the side of the chair and let me play with her naked body.

  I lightly moved my fingertips from one nipple to the other and then down to her belly button. My hand moved as far down her thigh as I could comfortably reach and then back up slowly through her inner thighs.

  My eyes stayed glued to her body, as she took in my touch and breathed deeply as my fingers stroked her naked skin.

  The moment was so intimate, so delicate. I could have stayed there for hours just watching her breathe and let out her desire-filled moans from my touch. It was as if she was there just for me. Not just there on my lap, but like she had been born to be my match. The level of comfort I felt around Jordan was something I couldn’t explain.

  She and I had not known each other for a long time, but I felt like I could tell her anything. Well, almost anything. I certainly didn’t want to tell her who Jose Escabar really was or how he was going to kill me when he found me. She only thought he would hurt me. Little did she know that Jose would do anything necessary to ensure his black book didn’t get into the wrong hands. His boss in the Mexican cartel would also do anything necessary.

  For the time being, I would just have to stick to my story about owing him money. It was true. I owed Escabar a lot of money and that was what I needed to concentrate on for the time being. I needed to get him his money back as soon as possible. Only then could I figure out what the hell to do with the black book I had stolen from him.

  My mind went back to the task at hand – Jordan and her deliciously smooth skin lying in my lap.

  My fingers moved down to her wetness, and I watched her as I slid inside. Her back arched up, and she took in a deep breath as my fingers moved in and out of her body. It was intense to be able to watch her body react to my touch like that. I liked it. I liked watching her.

  As her eyes opened and she looked up at me, I couldn’t help but pull her up to kiss me. Our mouths locked together as my fingers continued to play with her. More and more, she moved against me as I thrust my fingers and wiggled them inside of her.

  Suddenly, Jordan straddled me and slid my cock inside of her. She hardly broke our kiss for a second, as she started to move on top of me. My ribs hurt, but she felt so much better on my cock than I could have imagined.

  She held onto me as she thrust her hips against mine and did all the work. I hardly had to move, which was a really good thing since the pain was building up more and more as I tried to move.

  “I’m sorry we didn’t get to go on our date,” I whispered into her ear.

  “You’ll make it up to me.”

  She smiled and then went right back to kissing me and holding onto my shoulders as she worked her hips against my body. My hands grabbed hold of her ass, and I held on tight as she moved.

  As my body felt hers around me, I couldn’t help but thrust with her in an attempt to feel the explosion I knew was coming. Jordan moved on top of me, and her breasts teased me by coming up and down near my mouth. Finally, I grabbed hold of one of them and pulled it into my mouth hard.

  She moaned with pleasure and arched her back as I used all my mouth strength to hold her nipple tight.

  “Oh, yes,” she moaned, and it only drove me to want to hear her scream more.

  I reached my thumb down and felt for her clit, pressing hard against her as her hips moved on my cock.

  “No, no, no,” she moaned.

  “Oh, yes,” I replied.

  “Oh, yes, yes, yes.”

  Jordan moved even harder, up and down, and then back and forth on my cock. I could feel her body tightening as the pleasure built up and she prepared herself to cum.

  Her arms held onto my shoulders, and I used my last bit of energy to thrust into her and feel her walls clamp down on my cock. As she screamed out with orgasm, I felt my body release with the same pleasure.

  I reached up and held onto her as she tried to pull away. I wasn’t done with her yet.

  My hips continued to thrust, and I quickly felt her body tighten around me again. Her legs shook with the aftermath of her first orgasm, and I knew I was going to make her cum quickly for the second time.

  With a few deep thrusts and my thumb still on her clit, I released an even more intense orgasm in h
er body.

  “Oh, fuck, Chase. Yes. Fuck, yes,” she screamed out.

  Her body shook with desire, and she finally collapsed with her arms around my neck as her head tucked in next to mine. We were both drenched in sweat, even though the cabin was actually pretty cold.

  I reached next to the chair, pulled a big blanket up, and wrapped it over Jordan as she cuddled on top of me. Her smell was delightful, and I couldn’t stop leaning down and kissing her head as she lay on my shoulder.

  I watched as her body started to calm down and her breathing returned to normal. But I wasn’t ready to move. Not only was I in horrible pain, but I enjoyed having Jordan curled up on top of me like that and wasn’t in any big hurry to have her move.

  “So, you want to tell me a little more about this Escabar dude?” she asked.

  She was still cuddled up on top of me, and my first answer was no way did I want to tell her anything about him. But, there was another part of me that desperately wanted Jordan to know everything. I wanted her to be my partner and, for a minute, I thought about telling her it all.

  I thought about telling her what I had used all that money on. I thought about telling her just how dangerous Escabar was and how much danger we both were in. But I just couldn’t. I couldn’t risk losing her. I wouldn’t lose her.

  “Nothing much to say. I owe him a lot of money and he wants it back. I can’t go to my father because he’ll say I’m irresponsible. But I need to get Escabar his money back.”

  Jordan didn’t seem pleased with my answer, and I knew she thought there was much more to the story. But, she laid her head back on my shoulder and didn’t continue to press me for more information.

  I wrapped my arms around her and held on to her as tightly as I could. I wasn’t going to let her get away from me at all. Whatever it took to keep her there with me, I was going to make sure I did it.

  “Okay, Chase,” she finally said when she realized I wasn’t going to be adding any more to my story.

  “So, if this was our fancy date, what would we be talking about?” I said in an effort to change the subject.
