The Billionaire Bachelor - Box Set: The Billionaire's Hunt - A Complete Ten Book Alpha Billionaire Romance Box Set

by Sarah J. Brooks

  As she slid into her barely there party dress, Emily couldn’t help but look in the mirror and think that Drake was really going to love the dress she had picked out. But he was also going to love where she was taking him.

  Emily had worked with Playboy magazine for a little over a year and she had finally accepted an invitation to one of their parties. It was a bit intimidating to think about going to their party, but Emily was excited to bring Drake with her. With Drake by her side she was sure that the day was going to be full of tons of fun.

  It was a spring charity party for one of the many groups that Hugh Hefner supported. Emily thought out of all the parties that happened at the Playboy Mansion, this was probably more up her alley.

  As she slipped on her heels Emily heard the knock at her door. She slowly opened the door and watched in delight as Drake’s mouth fell completely to the ground. It was a reaction she could have only dreamed of. The utter delight in Drake’s eyes was exactly what she had hoped to see when she purchased her dress.

  “That is one hot dress,” Drake managed to say as he continued to stare at Emily.

  “Oh, this old thing. Do you like it?”

  Emily twirled around to show off the low cut back and the utter shortness of the hemline. She relished in the gaze that Drake gave her as he looked at her. It was just another reminder that there was definite chemistry between them. But Emily couldn’t help but think that there was something holding Drake back.

  “Should I drive? Or would you like me to have someone take us?”

  “Hmm, I think you should drive.”

  “Sounds like a plan.”

  Drake let Emily go ahead of him as he continued to ogle her body. She had the perfect little ass that Drake wanted to touch so badly. Her skin had tasted so sweet under his lips and Drake couldn’t help but think that the day was going to be really long if he didn’t get to touch her sweet skin again.

  He wanted Emily, there was no denying that. But she was so sweet and pure, Drake didn’t like the idea of sleeping with her and hurting her feelings if she was not the one he chose at the end of the week. Something about Emily drew him in, but that same something made him want to protect her.

  Drake wanted Emily. Everything in his body wanted her, but he wasn’t about to give into his temptation unless he was sure she was a real contender for him to pick at the end of the week.

  Having only slept with one other man in her life, Emily might just be too young and inexperienced for what Drake was looking for in a partner.

  Chapter 3

  The drive was initially awkward as both Drake and Emily tried to think of something to say. Emily watched Drake out of the corner of her eyes and saw him continually glancing over at her. His eyes were fixated on her thighs and the dress that barely covered them.

  She took the opportunity to tease him and entice Drake a little bit. She liked the look on his face as she let her hands slide up and down her thighs. His breathing caught and she could tell that he looked away from the road longer and longer each time he looked at her. She of course did not want him to get into an accident, but it was fun to watch his desire.

  “So where should I drive?”

  “I’ll tell you when we get a little closer. Just take I-5 south for now.”

  “Tell me more about your writing, if you don’t mind.”

  “Sure. I had just broken up with my boyfriend and out of frustration I wrote a short story for Playboy magazine. They liked it and asked me to write a column for them on a monthly basis.”

  “That’s pretty fantastic. What was the column?”

  “Good girls like sex too.”

  “That sounds like the kind of column I would like to read. Can I ask you something?”

  “Sure.”

  Drake waited for a moment and found a spot to pull the car over. He ended up pulling into a deserted Dairy Queen. As he put the car into park, Drake turned so he faced Emily and could talk to her a little better.

  “What did the first story say?”

  “It was a story about a young girl who had a boyfriend that always wanted to have plain boring missionary sex. She got tired of it and asked for more from him, but he wouldn’t give it to her.”

  “Is that what happened to you?” Drake asked as he leaned in closer to Emily.

  “Yes. My boyfriend and I had dated since we were sixteen years old. I wanted to experiment and try new things out and he didn’t want to do any of it. He was happy with the boring sex we had and I just couldn’t take it anymore.”

  “So you didn’t go wild after you two broke up? Didn’t sleep with other guys? Didn’t try out all the things you wanted to?”

  “I went on dates with other guys. But I wasn’t interested in meaningless sex. I still want a connection with a guy. So nope, I still haven’t gotten the chance to try out any wild and crazy things.”

  “So last night, when you invited Victoria to stay with us, were you excited by kissing her?”

  Emily blushed and took a moment to think about how that kiss had made her feel. It had excited her, but not nearly as much as kissing Drake made her feel. She had learned one really good lesson from that kiss with Victoria; Emily liked men much more than she liked women.

  She did still want to try a threesome someday, but she hoped she would find a woman that she found attractive and wanted to be with. Emily wasn’t sure there was a woman out there that she could go for, but if she ever did find her that would be the perfect opportunity for a threesome.

  “It was exciting. I liked it because it was something new. But what really got me excited were your kisses.”

  Drake leaned in close to Emily and let his eye move down her body to the top of her tiny dress. Slowly he let his hand slide from her knee up her inner thigh toward where her dress touched her body.

  “I got really excited kissing you too.”

  “Oh, you did?”

  “Yep, and I think I should do it again.”

  Drake pulled Emily toward him and let his hands pull on her hair a little as their lips locked together. His rough grip on her hair and hand on her thigh made Emily want to jump in Drakes lap right there. But it was way too open of a place and she certainly didn’t want to get them arrested for doing something like that in public.

  Although the idea of public sex was something she had talked about in her column, Emily wasn’t sure she was a fan of it. There were too man consequences involved in getting arrested and she felt like that was enough to keep her away from pursuing a hot sex event with any man in public.

  She reached down and held onto Drake’s hand to prevent it from moving any further up her thigh. She couldn’t have him getting her too excited before they got to the party. She had planned a fabulous day with Drake and couldn’t wait to invite him into her world and her work. Emily hadn’t let very many people into her life as a writer. It felt really nice to know that Drake knew what she did and he didn’t seem to care at all.

  “Do you think we should get going? I don’t want to be too late to the party,” Emily said as she pulled away from Drake.

  Disappointment filled his eyes but he smiled and gave Emily one last kiss before pulling the car back onto the interstate. Drake liked how much he was drawn to Emily. How his body longed to touch hers. It was a unique feeling to want someone so badly, yet also not want to take them just yet.

  “Where is this party? I think you should give me a clue,” Drake said as they sped down the interstate.

  “It’s at the home of my boss.”

  Emily let that information set in for a minute and watched Drakes face as he processed what she had said. He started to smile as he realized just where they were going.

  Every man fantasized about going to The Playboy Mansion. It was a place men dreamed of. Drake had actually been invited to attend a few parties over the years but not of the scheduling had ever worked out with his life. He didn’t care that much about missing the parties, but it was exciting to get to go with a person who actually work
ing with Hugh Heffner.

  “The Playboy Mansion?” Drake asked with a smile like a school boy across his face.

  “Yep.”

  “Holly shit girl. I’ve always wanted to go there and just never got around to accepting an invitation. What kind of party is it? I know he likes to have those theme parties all the time.”

  “This one is a charity event for one of the groups he supports. It will turn into a big party after all the snobby people leave in the evening. But for this afternoon it will be food, music and an auction to benefit epilepsy.”

  “I’m excited. This is great. What a perfect date Emily,” Drake said.

  He grabbed her hand and pulled it up to his lips and kissed it. She was sure surprising him. He had thought about her as just a sweet innocent young girl, but the more he was getting to know her the more he really felt like they were a better match than he had thought before.

  The gate to the Playboy Mansion was iconic as they pulled up and waited their turn to get onto the grounds. It felt like a movie scene as all the people poured into the event and Drake drove them toward the front of the line to get in.

  “Name please,” the security guard said.

  Emily leaned over Drake and handed her driver’s license to the security guard. She seemed like an old pro at going through security gates and Drake had to wonder which other magazines she was writing columns for. Did the other magazines have as big of a following as Playboy did? It wasn’t likely, but perhaps they had strict security to get into their buildings as well.

  “Emily Daniels and Drake Leblanc.”

  “Oh Miss Daniels, I heard you were coming tonight. Here is a priority parking pass. You can pull right in front of the main house.”

  “Thank you,” Emily said as she took her license back.

  Drake had to smile a bit as he looked over at Emily. It wasn’t often that people were more excited to see others than they were to see Drake. It had happened to him twice in the last two days and he really liked it a lot. It showed that Samantha and Robert had picked women who were every bit Drake’s equals and he liked that.

  The whole thing of getting the women together at his house and getting to know them all before picking one did seem like a great plan now. All of the women were phenomenal. Both Samantha and Robert did a fantastic job of picking them and Drake made a mental note to give his two top employees a bonus when everything was completed.

  Although Emily had not seemed like a great match for him at first, because of her age. Drake sure felt like she was at that moment. Pulling into the Playboy Mansion was something that not many women would like to do. But Emily worked for Playboy; her life was so much different than many other women.

  The idea of dating a put together woman that was as sexually free as Emily certainly had its appeal. Drake liked that he felt comfortable talking with her about sex and he hoped that Emily and him would have a great day and even a little sex of their own later in the evening. Drake didn’t want to break Emily’s heart if he wasn’t going to choose her in the end, but he really had no idea who he was going to pick when all of his dates were done.

  Drake had flirted with plenty of Playboy bunnies and surely could have come to any number of parties at the house before. But coming with Emily to a charity event there was something much more special. This was the life he wanted to transition into. He was tired of being known as a party animal and someone who didn’t take life as serious as he should have. Drake wanted a family and a future, but he still wanted to come to cool places like the Playboy Mansion. Emily seemed like she might be just the right person for him after all.

  As they walked up the path toward the charity luncheon, Drake let his hand sit gently on the small of Emily’s back. Her skin radiated through his hand to the rest of his body and he felt his cock throb with a longing to have Emily.

  Getting to know her more had only intensified his need to have her. He didn’t have to worry about ruining her pureness. Emily wanted to have fun, she wanted to play with him and Drake couldn’t wait until the party was over so he could have his way with her.

  Something switched in Emily as she walked up to the party. She put on a more vibrant persona as she looked everyone in the eyes and introduced Drake to people. She was proud to be there with him and to get to have him meet some of the people she worked with.

  Her confidence was up and she couldn’t help but smile and laugh as they interacted with all the business people at the charity event. Emily had always wanted to be taken seriously. She hadn’t expected a charity event at a porn empire would be the place where she would feel so at home. But she did, walking around in her sexy dress with Drake by her side, Emily felt like she could take on the world.

  “Emily,” said a man’s voice from behind her.

  “Hugh! Hi how are you?” Emily said as Hugh Heffner approached her.

  “I’m well. Thank you so much for coming. I’m glad you could finally join us.”

  “I know. I’m sorry it has taken me so long to come out and see you,” Emily smiled and hugged Heff as she reached back for Drakes hand and pulled him toward her. “Heff, this is my friend Drake…”

  “Oh, I know who this is. Drake Leblanc. Nice to meet you man. Now this looks like a good choice in ladies.”

  “Thank you sir. Emily sure is a nice woman.”

  “You two enjoy the party and please stay afterward and enjoy the grounds. I’ve got quiet the swimming pool if you would like to play for a bit.”

  “Thanks, Heff. See you soon,” Emily said as he walked away.

  “I just fucking met Hugh Heffner. Wow, that was pretty damn amazing,” Drake said.

  His arms wrapped around Emily’s tiny waist and he held her close to him. They started to sway to the music from the band and Drake looked into her eyes. After his date with Victoria, Drake wasn’t sure any of the other women would meet his high standards. He got excited as he stood there with Emily and realized she was exceeding everything he wanted in a woman.

  Emily looked around at all the business professionals in the garden and wondered how many of them would be sticking around later for the party. She bet there were a few wild people in the group that was there.

  “Should we go find our seats?” Emily asked.

  She pulled Drake behind her as they made their way to the dining area.

  It was a beautiful party with purple accented colors and white linens all over the place. There were silent auction items at the back of the garden and a band set up to the side. There were dozens of large round tables around with ten chairs at each table. Emily estimated that the party had at least 300 people. Which was probably a small party in the world of Heff.

  “I’m excited about the auction. I hear there will be some Julie Roberts memorabilia here. She’s my favorite,” Emily said as she looked intently at the stage and waited for the announcer to start.

  “Welcome to the sixth annual epilepsy fundraiser put on by Hugh Heffner. I know you all were expecting some naked bunnies around here. But I think for now we will all keep our clothes on.”

  Everyone laughed as the announcer continued to talk about the schedule of events and when the party would be over.

  “Like any good party, we don’t have an end time. So please feel free to stick around and dance the night away with us when we are all done.”

  “This is going to be a great night,” Drake said as he leaned into kiss Emily on the back of her neck.

  “Yep, I think it will be too.”

  “Ok, so we are going to start with food and then please feel free to bid on the silent auction items. Later we will have a regular auction with some really big name items up for grabs.”

  Drake grabbed Emily’s chair and pulled it closer to him. He didn’t like that she was a good foot away from him. He wasn’t going to be able to play with her under the table if she was that far away during the night. It was fun to think about how wrong it would be to play with Emily while they were at a charity auction. Of course, it wouldn’t
be the first time Drake had behaved poorly in public, but he suspected Emily had never done such a thing.

  Chapter 4

  “Up for auction next is a trip for two to the Virgin Islands. We will start the bidding at five thousand dollars,” the auctioneer said.

  “Wow that’s a good price,” Emily said as she looked at Drake.

  “Should we go?” He teased.

  “I think we should wait and see how the week turns out first, don’t you?” Emily smiled and squeezed Drakes hand.

  Drake had tried throughout dinner to slide his hand up her legs and under her dress, but Emily was adamantly holding onto his hand to prevent this. She wanted Drake, but a public event like they were at just wasn’t her thing. The people all around her were her co-workers and friends, she wasn’t about to get caught with Drake’s fingers under her skirt.

  “Alright, I’ll try to hold back from bidding,” Drake laughed. “But you should put your hands on the table. Aren’t they tired?”

  Emily smiled as she looked at the mischievous nature in Drake’s eyes. She suspected he was perfectly comfortable playing around in public and probably didn’t worry at all about getting caught. It would just perpetuate his current public persona and get even more people interested in his company.

  “My hands are staying right where they are mister.”

  Drake leaned in and kissed Emily and for a brief moment she let his finger slide up past the hem of her skirt. Drake rubbed his finger sweetly against her panties and wanted to feel more. He wanted to watch her face as he excited her out there in public. Drake wanted to feel Emily on his fingers and he wasn’t about to give up that fantasy.

  “We should find a place in private. I bet there’s tons of hideaways around here.”

  “No, we are not going to have sex at my boss’ home.”

  “Well, maybe not sex, but we sure could play around and have some fun.”

  “Shhh, watch the auction,” Emily said as she looked away from Drake and back to the Auctioneer.
