A Billionaire’s Way Of Saying I Want You

by McDonnell, Holly

  The next moment Julia was shocked beyond words when Gabriel appeared on the patio and went to join the kids and their guardian at their table. If she didn’t see it with her own eyes, she would not have believed any of it. He laughed as one little girl stormed towards him, and then picked her up in the air and started swirling her around. Sitting and watching his interaction with the kids, Julia could only shake her head in disbelief, because it actually looked as if he personally knew the kids, as if he has spent a fair amount of time with them.

  “Are you guys ready to go for a ride on my yacht?” Gabriel asked the kids with a huge smile, his lime-green eyes had a soft light in them while he looked at the excited children before him. “Okay then, get all of your things together and follow Mother Sofia to the parking area. I will join you shortly, I just have another matter I quickly want to take care of,” Gabriel laughed at their enthusiasm and hurried them along, watching the jubilant kids with a smile while they followed the only mother they have ever known out to the parking area, where the hotel minibus was ready to take them all to the docks.

  Julia’s heart started pounding with loud bangs in her chest when Gabriel then turned around and started making his way towards them. A mixture of emotions churned wildly within her heart, leaving her feeling utterly confused and disorientated. Trying to get a hold of her runaway heart, Julia kept telling herself that Gabriel’s interaction with those children was merely a show he put on to impress them. She kept telling herself that guys like him would never waste their precious time entertaining orphans, and with that thought she slowly started regaining control over her befuddled heart and mind.

  “Good afternoon ladies,” Gabriel greeted friendly, but before he could utter another word, Julia jumped up from the chair she was sitting on, and hastily excused herself, storming down the patio stairs leading onto the beach.

  “I am so sorry,” Sharron apologized with flushed cheeks. “Please excuse my friend’s behavior.”

  “There is no need for you to apologize for her behavior. But if you would please excuse me, I just quickly want to have a word with your friend,” Gabriel said with a stiff smile, setting off after Julia.

  “Miss Garner, may I please have a word with you?” Gabriel asked when he finally caught up with Julia on the beach. “Julia, would you slow down for a second, I am trying to talk to you,” Gabriel said furiously, grabbing Julia by the arm and turning her around to face him.

  “I have nothing to say to you. Now please let go of my arm,” Julia said unable to look him in the eye, nervously trying to pull her arm free from his grip. Her heart pounded wildly in her throat, edging her on to get away from him as fast as possible.

  “What is your problem with me?” Gabriel asked with a dangerous frown between his green eyes. “From the moment we met, you have shown nothing but contempt towards me. I have made several attempts to apologize for my blunder during our initial encounter, but every attempt I made to befriend you, you have thrown right back in my face,” he said putting his hand underneath her chin and forcing her to look him in the eye. “Now, I want to know exactly what you have against me.”

  Fighting to keep her composure, Julia removed Gabriel’s hand from beneath her chin, almost slapping his hand away as if his touch burned her, something which didn’t go past Gabriel without notice. “Why don’t you just leave me alone?” Julia snapped angrily, battling furiously against the emotional turmoil that wanted to overwhelm her. Gabriel had unwittingly unleashed a storm to rage inside her heart, which lifted her to the peaks of wonder, while at the same time sending her crashing into the deepest pits of despair. She didn’t know what she was feeling. All she knew was that Gabriel was at the center of the emotional warfare happening within her heart and she needed to get away from him. “Don’t you get it? I’m not interested in you, your money, or anything else you have to offer. I’m sure you are used to woman swooning every time you flash your money around, but I am sorry to inform you, that you don’t have enough money in the world to buy my love or affection. Now please leave me alone,” Julia said in a croaky voice while suppressing the tears that wanted to start flowing from her eyes. Giving Gabriel one last look, she started running back to the hotel, her vision blurred from the tears that she could no longer suppress. Luckily she got away from him before he could see that she was crying.

  Gabriel motionlessly watched Julia run back to the hotel, making no attempt to go after her. He had received her message loud and clear, and he wasn’t going to make a further fool of himself by pursuing her any longer. Didn’t she just tell him straight out that he doesn’t have enough money to capture her interest? The words gold digger was now burned deeply into his memories of her.

  Feeling more disappointed than anything else, Gabriel slowly started making his way across the beach, heading towards the hotel parking lot where the children were still waiting to be taken out on his yacht. He was having a hard time understanding how he could have misjudged himself so completely with the type of person Julia truly was. On the bright side of things, at least he found out what type of person she was before he could get emotionally attached, Gabriel thought with an upside down smile, but a tiny voice within his heart immediately told him that he was busy lying to himself. He doesn’t know exactly when or how it happened, but over the last couple of days he had started to develop some sort of feelings for the woman he thought Julia to be. But that was all at an end now, Gabriel thought with a forced smile on his face while he joined up with Mother Sofia and the kids in the parking lot.

  Back in their hotel suite, Julia threw herself down on her bed and surrendered to the overwhelming sorrow eating away at her heart. Tears ceaselessly streamed down her face while she became completely honest with herself for the first time since she had met Gabriel. From the very first moment she had laid eyes on him, there had been instant chemistry between them, which automatically warned her that she had to be careful not to fall in love with him.

  At first it was easy denying any feelings towards him, and convinced herself that she felt nothing but contempt towards him. But the more persistent he became, the harder it became to continue denying the chemistry that existed between them. She continuously had to remind herself of his arrogance, vanity, and egotism, continuously reminding herself that he was nothing but a womanizer, a sensualist that only wanted to use her to satisfy his own needs and desires.

  However, lying on her bed feeling more alone than ever, she wasn’t so sure of her facts anymore, she wasn’t sure that she had done the right thing by refusing his friendship, and more than anything else, she suspected that she had judged him completely wrong. She finally had to admit that she was more than slightly attracted to Gabriel. She could now see that she had been attracted to him since day one, and badmouthed him and treated him badly, because she was unconsciously fighting against the strong attraction he had awakened in her heart. Though, facing the truth of her attraction towards Gabriel wasn’t brining her any piece of mind, instead it sent a million daggers cutting through her heart as she realized that she had torpedoed any chance she had with him. Burying her face in her pillow, Julia cried as if her heart wanted to break. Raw sobs tore through her body as she had to face the fact that she had driven Gabriel away forever.

  Standing in the doorway, Sharron silently witnessed her friend’s heartbreaking cries. Knowing her friend as well as she does, Sharron slowly started understanding what was going on. Coming to a decision, she quietly turned around and snuck out of their suite, determined to wait for Gabriel’s return, and then get the whole mess between him and Julia sorted out.

  The following day Julia did her best to hide her unhappiness from Sharron, but Sharron could see that Julia was not being her usual self. Doing her best to cheer Julia up, Sharron suggested that they go down to the harbor and hire a boat for the afternoon. Even though Julia didn’t really feel like doing anything, she also didn’t want to spoil Sharron’s holiday, and therefore tagged along without complaining.

 
Arriving at the docks, Sharron looked as if she knew exactly where she had to go to find a boat for hire and quickly managed to make the necessary arrangements for them. Not long thereafter they were onboard a flashy speedboat, leaving the port behind and heading towards the open waters. Feeling the tingling of water spraying on her skin, the wind playing with her hair and the sun warmly kissing her face, Julia started enjoying herself for the first time that day. Following the coastline, they soon came to a small secluded strip of beach, surrounded by high cliffs on both sides and completely cut-off from other sections of the beach.

  “Are we going to go have a closer look?” Julia asked excitedly, wiping the spray of saltwater from her face.

  “Good idea,” Sharron agreed, asking the driver to head towards the strip of beach.

  “I can’t go any closer. The coastline here is extremely rocky, and I might damage the boat if I dare go any closer,” the driver explained when he brought the speedboat to standstill approximately 50 feet from the shore. “The water is fairly shallow, so you can swim there and go exploring, while I wait here for you.”

  “You are not going to drive off as soon as we are off the boat, are you?” Julia asked jokingly, then jumped into the water and started swimming towards the shore. It was only after she was about halfway to shore that she noticed that Sharron was no longer following, but had actually turned around and climbed back onboard the boat. “Sharron, what’s wrong? What happened?” Julia shouted worriedly and started swimming back towards the boat, thinking that something had happened to her friend.

  “Nothing is wrong. We’ll send somebody to pick you up a bit later,” Sharron shouted in answer, and then waved goodbye as the driver brought the boat into motion and started speeding off in the direction of the port.

  “No, wait! Sharron, come back!” Julia shouted desperately while watching the boat disappear. Almost too stunned to believe that Sharron would do something like that to her, Julia remained exactly where she was, half expecting the boat to return and pick her up. Though, after five minutes of treading water, she knew that the boat wasn’t going to turn around and started swimming to shore.

  Reaching the shore and walking out on to the beach, Julia felt as though she could murder Sharron. What the hell was wrong with Sharron, Julia thought furiously while she got rid of her wet clothes, laying them out to dry in the warm afternoon sun. Sitting down on the soft sand of the beach and looking out over the ocean, Julia wasn’t able to see the man walking up from behind her. She only became aware that she was not alone on the secluded beach when the man spoke up from right behind her.

  “Hi there,” Gabriel greeted nonchalant, sitting down next to Julia with a hint of a smile on his handsome face.

  Startled by the Gabriel’s unexpected appearance, Julia’s heart instantaneously started racing like a runaway horse, thumping with loud bangs against her chest as Gabriel sat down next to her.

  “Hi there,” Julia managed in a squeaky voice, nervously digging her toes into the sand, unable to look Gabriel properly in the eye.

  “You know, from the moment I first laid eyes on you, I knew that there was something special about you,” Gabriel said in a warm voice, “but every attempt I made to get to know, you neatly evaded and almost drove me to the brink of insanity.”

  Hearing the warm sound in his voice confused Julia, not knowing what to think. “I don’t understand, I thought you would hate me after the way I treated you,” Julia said unsurely, shyly looking into his dancing chartreuse colored eyes.

  “You have Sharron to thank for everything,” Gabriel smiled, enjoying her confusion. “If she didn’t come to me last night and explained why you were reacting so badly towards me, then I would have continued to think that you were nothing but a gold digging temptress and eventually would have started hating you.”

  “Sharron told you how I truly felt?” Julia asked stunned, surprised to find out that Sharron was able to read her heart better than she was able to read it herself. A deep blush then started forming around her face with the knowledge that Gabriel knew exactly how she felt about him.

  Witnessing the deep blush forming across Julia’s face caused a deep, happy laughter to bubble up from Gabriel’s jubilant heart, and before she could say another word, he pulled her into his embrace and slowly brought his lips down upon hers. The feeling of his lips brushing tenderly upon hers instantly ignited a devouring fire to blaze uncontrollably within her heart. Surrendering to the feelings in her heart, Julia answered Gabriel’s kisses with such passion that it left him dazed and breathless for a moment.

  Taking a moment to catch his breath, Gabriel lovingly looked into Julia’s vibrant, electric blue eyes, before he picked her up to sit on top of his lap with her legs apart. Folding their arms around each other in a feverish embrace, they just couldn’t get enough of the intense feelings they were unlocking within each other. Their hearts raced while desire surged like lighting through their veins. They were being overwhelmed by a mixture of love and desire, teaching them the true meaning of being lost in desire.

  Trembling with pent-up desire, Gabriel softly ran his hands over the silky-soft skin of her back, sending goosebumps of pleasure to appear all over Julia’s body. Enjoying her response to his caresses, he softly started kissing her down the line of her neck, running his tongue lightly across her skin, and tasting the sweet taste of her yearning body. Julia’s whole became alive with desire under his skillful caresses; her nipples became hard and erect, and were begging for attention while they were being pressed tightly against the skin of his muscular chest. Feeling her hardened nipples and the firmness of her plump breasts rubbing tightly against his chest fast turned Gabriel wild with desire, and in one swift movement he loosened the straps of her bikini top and hurriedly tossed it aside.

  Almost hypnotized by the perfection of her full, creamy breasts, Gabriel momentarily stared at their perfection before he folded his hands around them and started to massage them with great skill. Julia could scream with pleasure as he ran the inside of his palms over the tips of her nipples, stroking them ever so lightly and turning her body into a mass of desire. Responding to his touch, Julia started rotating her hips back and forth, rubbing her womanhood suggestively against the pulsating desire of his penis.

  “Oh Julia, you are driving me absolutely crazy,” Gabriel whispered in a hoarse voice, and then leaned forward and sealed his mouth over her breast.

  Nibbling softly on the pink lusciousness of her nipple, Gabriel used his tongue to stroke and tease the tip of her nipple, while suckling on the creaminess of her breast. The more he nibbled and suckled on her breast, the shorter and more irregular her breathing became, finding herself lost in a sea of ecstasy. Unable to take another moment of sweet torture, Julia slipped her hand inside his swimming trunks and firmly folded her hand around his sizable manhood. Firmly holding the thickness of his long member in her hand, she deliberately started moving her hand up and down, while rubbing her thumb over the tip thereof. Gabriel’s whole body stiffened under her touch, as shocks of pleasure shot up from his loins. Moving her hand up and down with greater speed, she gently applied more pressure around his member, while using her other hand to cup and play with his testicles.

  “You will still be the death of me,” Gabriel huffed in the grips of desire, laying Julia on her back and hurriedly removing her bikini bottom, before getting rid of his own swimsuit.

  Staring up into his handsome face, Julia’s whole body trembled with anticipation, yearning to feel him deep inside her. “I want you,” Julia whispered as she put her arms around his neck, pulling him down on top of her.

  While kissing her passionately, Gabriel slipped two fingers into the velvety lining of her womanhood, only to be happily surprised to find her soaking wet with desire. Thrusting his fingers into her softness a couple of times, he could see that she was more than ready for him and then slowly lowered his pulsating penis into craving wetness.

  “Oh Gabriel,” Julia panted with pleasure
as she felt his penis invading her sanctum, filling every inch of womanhood with his desire.

  Using slow, penetrating movements, Gabriel then started thrusting himself inside of her while kissing her down the line of her neck. Waves of pleasure washed over her body as Gabriel gradually started picking up the pace, moving faster and faster, while thrusting harder and harder, increasing their pleasure tenfold with every thrust he gave. Desperately holding onto him, Julia moved her body in unison with his, lifting her hips upwards every time he thrust down. Continuing to pick up the pace, their bodies united in perfect harmony, transporting them to the stars, submerging them in undulated pleasure. Digging her nails into his back and moaning loudly with pleasure, Julia climaxed in an intense series of orgasms. Witnessing the power of her orgasm and feeling her vagina rhythmically tighten and release around his penis, pushed Gabriel to peaks of exhilaration, causing him to erupt in a mind-blowing orgasm. His whole body convulsed with pleasure as his seed was distributed into the center of her pleasure-dome.
