Country Billionaire: The Complete Series

by Jenna Chase

  Shane bolted into action cleaning off its head and clearing its nose as I stood by and watched. Within minutes the little guy was awkwardly climbing to his feet to go stand by his mama. Just like that, as if everything had been perfectly normal.

  Ruby began to clean and to groom him. Just days ago I never would have imagined having helped a horse give birth, and now here I was with this baby foal and a man that could stop my heart with a single glance.

  Shane tore off the gloves and his apron and then proceeded to rip mine from my neck with an animalistic glee. There was something about the look on his face, something determined and desperate. I could see his chest rising and falling from the exertion he’d just been through. I knew exactly what he wanted and I wasn’t about to stop him. The adrenaline of the last few hours surged through my body and I needed him in a way I’d never needed anyone. He backed me into the corner of the stall and then pressed his body against mine.

  “I need you,” he growled through gritted teeth.

  “I need you too,” I moaned as I pressed myself against him, my hands wandering up the back of his shirt to feel the heat of his sweat slicked back.

  “Wait,” he said as his whole body tensed and he came to his senses. “You’re better than this. I don’t want to do this here. I’m dying to have you but you deserve a clean bed, and a man that doesn’t smell like he just birthed a horse.”

  “I don’t mind. I want you now,” I said reaching down to his pants.

  “No,” he said placing his hand on top of mine. He pulled my hand away and held it tightly in his. “As much as I’d love to see you with little bits of hay stuck in your mussed up hair, I don’t want to take you like that. You need to be in a soft and comfortable bed where we can be alone, and in private. I don’t want anyone else to come in and see you the way that only I should get to see you. You’re mine and only I should get to see your body and the look on your face when I’m inside of you. That is mine and mine alone. Come with me,” he said as he slid his fingers between mine and guided me to the door of the stall.

  His words had shaken me to my core. Could he really care that much? I wondered as I came to a halt just outside the stall.

  “What about the horses?” I said turning back towards the adorable foal and its mother.

  “I’ll radio one of the guys to come watch after the little guy. I’m not capable of waiting any longer, I have to have you in my arms,” he said with an intensity I wasn’t expecting from this man that I would normally call infallible. His entire body shook as he held my hand, as if waiting to have me was the hardest thing he’d ever had to face. This man that had ridden bulls and had won medals in rodeos was now crumbling under the weight of his desire. The desire that he felt for me.

  “Ok,” I said as I turned away from the horses. I could tell this wasn’t a time for arguing or for begging to stay with the cute newborn. This man meant business and just watching him struggle with his lust was turning me on. I could see the stubborn set of his jaw as he struggled to maintain composure. His hands had turned into fists and it wasn’t out of anger. I walked to him and slid my hands over the rough denim of his jeans and around to his back pockets. I tugged him toward me and lifted my face up to his. “Let’s go cowboy,” I teased as I traced his stubbled jaw with my forehead and then moved my mouth to the open V his shirt created just below his neck. It was a slow and deliberate motion that I knew would drive him wild and it didn’t surprise me one bit when his body quivered and he reached around behind himself and grabbed my hand.

  “You’re right, let’s go,” he said as he took off across the dirt driveway to where we’d left the ATV. “Get on,” he said as he turned and wrapped his hands around my hips. Before I could say a word he was hoisting me onto the ATV. There was no question – this time he was driving. I scooted back over the black leather seat and gave him room to sit.

  My knees and my thighs spread wide ready to accept his backside as he positioned himself in front of me. Once he’d settled himself, I moved forward until I was pressed against his back like a snug fitting jacket. I corseted his chest with my arms and held on tight, my face turned to the side so that I could rest it against his strong shoulder. It felt comforting to be able to hold him this way. Despite only having known him for two days, I was completely at ease with him. I didn’t have the traditional “new love” jitters and I didn’t have the worry that ached throughout your body and your mind when you wondered if you were doing something wrong or if they felt the same way. None of that blossomed inside of me. It was nice to let my heart and my mind drift without the worry. There wasn’t a single cell in my body that doubted that he was mine and I knew he understood that I was wholly his.

  I clung to him like I needed him to breath. I couldn’t have pulled myself away from him if I’d tried. In that moment on the back of the ATV I needed him as badly as he needed me and there was nothing in this world that could have made me let go. He raced over the lush fields we had traveled earlier but all I noticed was the sound of his heartbeat in my ear. I closed my eyes and listened carefully to its strong and steady beat, and I smiled when I realized that it belonged to me. The whimsy of it all had me clutching him tighter.

  “You ok?” he asked with a turn of his head.

  “Perfect,” was all I could manage as the smile played over my face.

  It took a few more minutes for us to arrive at the house. When he cut the engine, he surprised me by gripping my thigh. He pulled me around his side until I was sitting on his lap facing him. His hand snaked up my neck to the side of my face, he held me gently and then ran his hand back down the collar of my shirt until it was resting over my sternum. He spread his fingers wide across my bare skin while he snaked his left hand up my back and held my neck tightly in his grip. He held me completely still and pressed his hand harder against my chest.

  “I can feel your heart pounding for me,” he said as his fingertips caressed my skin. Slowly they traced downwards until he reached the first button. With care he undid the buttons of my shirt – one by one. When the sides fell open I could feel the slight breeze in the air blowing over my heated skin. “Who are you?” he said as he began to kiss my chest. “What have you done to me?” he continued as he used his right arm to hold me, my legs wrapped tight around his torso. He lifted me from the ATV and carried me into his house.

  “Who am I?” I asked when he headed towards the stairs. “I’m just a woman that needed a job. Who are you?” I asked as I leaned my head down to tease his neck with my teeth. I could taste the salt of his sweat on my tongue as I nipped him. He let in a quick inhale surprised by my bite.

  “I don’t know who I am anymore. You’ve changed me,” he said as he carried me into the bathroom. “Tell me you’re mine,” he begged, his body pinning me against the wall.

  “I’m yours,” I breathed as I reached out to the wall for purchase. I only succeeded in knocking all the towels to the floor.

  “Good,” he said as he ground his hips against me. “God, I need you,” he said through gritted teeth.

  “Let me down,” I said releasing my legs. The second my feet hit the floor he turned me around and ground himself against my ass.

  He reached around in front of me and quickly unbuttoned and unzipped my jeans. He pushed them to the floor with my panties and then undid his own. Together our pants and underwear lay in a heap around our ankles.

  “Tell me I can have you,” he pleaded as he pulled the fabric of my shirt away and kissed my shoulder. I could feel his bare hardness pressing against my backside and I couldn’t say no. He pulled my shirt the rest of the way off and unclipped my bra. He tugged the straps down my arms and left me completely naked. He pulled his own shirt off over his head and pressed his chest to my back. Feeling his body was more than I could bear. He felt hard in all the right places. I loved feeling his muscles as they tensed where they touched my soft body. “Tell me,” he said growing impatient.

  “Take me, now,” I panted.

 
He kissed my neck and bent me forward. I gripped the metal towel bar and closed my eyes as he ran his strong hand from my shoulder down my spine. Upon reaching my ass he took himself in his own hand and angled his cock between my legs. This was a different kind of sex than the night before, this was a desperate need to be together. I needed him and he needed me and there was nothing that could keep us apart.

  I was wet and ready when his cock parted my lips. With a slow forward thrust he pushed himself inside of me. I expected him to thrust fast and harsh and was astounded when he gripped my shoulder with his left hand and my right hip with his other – he moved patiently in long drawn out movements – in and then back out. I wanted to move, I wanted to press back and beg him to go faster. He anticipated my desires and uttered a single word that stopped me from moving an inch. “No!” he said with the sternness of someone teaching a puppy new commands.

  My body shuddered and begged for him to go faster but he held me steady and continued his careful teasing. I couldn’t stop myself as I began to moan. He was the best thing I’d ever felt, and with each of his thrusts he was driving me wild. I could feel a deep pressure building between my thighs and I couldn’t understand how he was controlling himself so well.

  “Oh…god,” I cried out as he withdrew again. He was working me to a slow build and I felt oddly satisfied when I felt his thighs twitch. Yes, he was suffering too. “Please,” I begged, the single word was enough to fracture his control. He slammed himself back into me. He wrapped his left hand in my hair and pulled me up so that my back was against his chest.

  “Tell me how bad you want it.”

  “Bad,” I said as I gulped.

  “How bad,” he said as he licked my neck up to my ear.

  “More than anything.”

  “Step out of your pants,” he instructed. I did as he asked and we moved to the side. Not once did he leave my body as he pointed to the shower. “Turn on the water,” he said as he released my hair. I bent forward and worked the knobs until it was a comfortable temperature and then I pulled the tab sending the water up to the spout. He pulled out of me and stepped into the shower. I could already feel the ache between my legs where he had been. I needed him back. I needed him to finish me – to finish with me. I stepped carefully into the shower and wasn’t surprised when he pinned me against the tile wall.

  “You’re so beautiful,” he breathed against my rose-flushed cheek.

  “So are you,” I said before I’d thought about how silly the words would sound. He laughed lightly and then kissed me hard. His fingers clasped onto mine and held my arms up above my head as his hips held me in place. He used his own thighs to spread my legs and then he pushed himself into me again. The warm water cascaded over us as he began his thrusts.

  I closed my eyes and focused on his labored breathing and the feel of him inside of me. Several blissful minutes passed and then he brought his lips to my ear, “Tell me when,” he said as he thrust himself into me again.

  I wrapped one leg around his hip and then the other. He released my arms and let me sling them around his neck. I opened my eyes and looked directly into his. He pumped himself into me as we watched each other. It was closer than I’d ever felt to anyone. I could feel the pressure steadily rising and my mouth fell open from the intense pleasure. I bit my lip and fought back the urge to close my eyes and cry out. “Tell me,” he pleaded again but I held off. I wanted to make him work for it. I wanted him to know what he’d done to me when I was bent over holding onto the towel rack. How slow and careful he’d been when all I wanted was for him to fill me.

  “Tell me,” he said again, his voice growing husky.

  I shook my head no and watched him as he gritted his teeth. His abs tensed against my belly and I could feel his entire body vibrating as he fought back his own orgasm. I knew I couldn’t make him wait forever but I was determined to draw it out as long as I possibly could. I fought my own intense feeling as well. He had stroked me almost to the point of no return and I knew if I played the cat and mouse game for too long, one of us was going to lose.

  He slammed his cock into me hard. “Tell me,” he said one last time. I knew this was it, there was no making him wait. He couldn’t, and I couldn’t.

  I shook my head yes, an almost imperceptible nod, and whispered the word he wanted to hear, “Now.”

  He leaned his head against my shoulder and thrust into me as hard and fast as he could. I cried out as he brought me closer and closer and then barreling over the edge. He grunted and let out a single final groan as he came inside of me.

  I held onto him tightly as he panted against my neck. He swallowed hard and pulled me from the wall. He leaned to the side and flipped the shower knobs into the off position and then carried me to the unmade bed. He laid us down, our bodies still wet, and he took my face into his hands. He kissed me softly on the nose, and then the mouth, a smile turning up the corners of his mouth.

  “Thank you,” he said when he pulled back to look me in the eye. I tilted my head to the side and grinned.

  “For what?” I asked dreamily.

  “For everything,” he said as he rolled to the side.

  We laid together for a while watching as the sky outside darkened through the window. I hated to say it but I knew I had to.

  “I have to go home tonight,” I said rolling onto my side to face him. I traced my fingers down the side of his face and teased the growing stubble that was darkening his jawline.

  “I don’t want you to leave,” he said looking sad.

  “I have to,” I said knowing it was going to be hard to go. “Besides, I’ll be back first thing in the morning for work.”

  “I know,” he said. “But I can’t imagine my bed without you now.”

  It was one of the sweetest things I’d ever heard and it broke my heart to have to leave him. “Me either,” I said as I leaned forward and kissed him. It was a light kiss just before ducking away. I swung my legs over the side of the bed and went to the bathroom in search of my clothes. The clothes that he had bought me.

  When I returned he had sat up on his elbows. He had a look on his face that I can’t describe as anything but certainty. He breathed out heavily and then sat all the way up. “Move in with me,” he said as if it were nothing more than asking me if I wanted a glass of water.

  “Move in?” I said stunned.

  “I want you here with me always,” he said gathering the sheet around his waist.

  “I still have to leave for tonight,” I said thinking maybe he didn’t really mean it and was just trying to keep me here.

  “Then leave for tonight, and then never leave again,” he said.

  “What about all of my things?” I asked while I pulled on my jeans.

  “I can hire movers.”

  “I can’t just up and move in.”

  “Why not?” he asked with the look of someone that already knew they had won.

  “Because!” I said giving him a look.

  “Because you don’t want to live with me?” he said with a cocky eyebrow raise.

  “That isn’t it,” I said as I crawled over the bed to plant a kiss on his forehead. “Here, clasp my bra,” I said turning my back towards him.

  He worked the latches and then leaned in close to my ear, “Move in with me.”

  I stopped and looked at him, “Are you being serious?”

  “Yes.”

  “How do you know you want me to move in?” I asked.

  “Don’t you know?” he said looking a bit stunned.

  I knew what he meant. There was an unmistakable pull between us, and I did know. I didn’t question a thing when it came to him. I thought it over for a moment and he was right, I did know with complete certainty.

  “Ok,” I said with a broad grin. “But I have to tell Laurissa first.”

  “So you will?”

  “I will.” I said as I wrapped my arms around his neck.

  “Now take me home for the last time before I change my mind.�

  Shane dressed and drove me home. The goodbye kiss was almost painful, but it helped to know I’d be seeing him again in a matter of hours. I stepped inside my tiny apartment and I looked around. Is this crazy? I wondered as I looked at all of my books and keepsakes. I sat on the edge of my bed and I took my phone out of my purse. I dialed the number for Laurissa, and waited for her to pick up.

  As if on cue she answered on the third ring and didn’t even wait for me to say anything. Her very first words were: “Tell me everything!”

  Country Billionaire 3

  This was it, the big week. Everyone always thinks packing and moving should be easy, but the truth is, once you start digging in its always far more work than expected. You suddenly find that despite living in a tiny studio apartment, you have way more clothes, kitchen items, hair accessories, and general bathroom toiletries than you ever imagined.

  Each new area you’ll pull out shirts and lotions you’d completely forgotten existed but are now convinced that you need them and will in fact actually use them now that they’ve been relocated. You think you have enough boxes but manage to pack everything terribly and run out before you’ve even made it halfway through. In short, moving is hell even if your new destination looks quite a bit like heaven.

  Laurissa had given me shit about the move. As my best friend and my personal escort to the interview that landed me the job, she knew exactly how long Shane and I had been fooling around. She knew it was extremely quick and as excited as she was for me to hit it off with the sexy alpha, she also knows that trouble can come from moving too quickly.

  In fact, she took it upon herself to incessantly remind me about her own failed relationships that moved too quickly.

  “Why can’t you just take your time?” she asked.

  “Because it feels right,” I countered knowing there was no way that would appease her.

  “Uh huh…why? Is it because he’s got money, because he’s your boss, because he’s hot, or because he likes you?” she said shooting back in frustration.
