“Oh Giavanna, you’re the one person who’s too smart for me.” Trevor sounded amused. “Your intelligence and your ability to sense bullshit delight me.” Trevor chuckled. “Not that I was bullshitting you. I meant everything I said about why I want you to work for me. But I do have ulterior motives.”
“What ulterior motives?” I asked cautiously. I was so confused.
“Look Giavanna, you know I don’t like putting my cards on the table, but you’re too smart for my plan. I decided to offer you the job at Rock Hard TV so it would force you to move out to L.A. Once you were here I was going to try to get you to be with me again.”
My heart fluttered. He wants me back! I wonder why he went about it in such a round-about way. “Trevor! Isn’t that textbook sexual harassment!?” I gasped. “What you’re doing is illegal,” I admonished playfully. I was so giddy, there was no way I could hide my excitement.
“It’s only illegal if you take objection to it. Besides I wouldn’t be your direct boss. I don’t work at the station, I just own it.” I could tell that Trevor was smirking.
“You little shit! You thought you were going to lure me to L.A. and trick me into getting back with you.” I giggled. I was practically squealing with excitement.
“You mean to tell me that my plan isn’t working?” Trevor’s tone was flirtatious.
“Well, I’m not saying that.”
“So that’s a ‘yes’? You’ll take the position?” I didn’t have to think twice. I had no reservations about leaving my job that was falling apart anyway and running off into the sunset with Trevor. He had no idea how much he just saved my ass.
“You’re a hard man to say no to. You know that?”
“So I’ve been told.”
“Yes, Prince Charming, I’ll come and work for your television network. When do I start?”
“I don’t need you to start until the end of February. But you should move out here and get settled as soon as possible.”
I shot to my feet. I was practically jumping up and down with excitement. Everything was happening so fast. “Wait, I need time to find an apartment.”
“No you don’t. I have plenty of room in my Hollywood Hills palace. You can stay with me. You seemed pretty impressed with it when you came to visit,” Trevor boasted arrogantly. I had actually only seen a fraction of Trevor’s mansion when I was out in L.A. The few rooms I saw blew my mind.
“Does this mean we’re getting back together?”
“Is that what you want it to mean?”
“I don’t know. Is that what you meant?”
“Giavanna, sometimes I have trouble admitting when I mess up. That’s probably because I rarely make mistakes. But this is one of those rare occasions where I realize I fucked up big time. I should have never let you walk out that door on New Year’s. I’ve been wanting to ask you to be with me again, but every time I picked up the phone to dial your number, my pride got in the way. I’ve had enough of being without you. I’m sorry that I was foolish enough to let you go. I want to try this again if you’re willing.”
I felt like I was floating on air. I was so happy I wanted to cry. “But what about the contract?” I asked hesitantly.
“What contract?” Trevor replied, matter-of-factly.
“Really Trevor?”
“You know, I was thinking about it and I think we could meet each other in the middle. I’m willing to try to have a normal relationship with you, as long as you’re willing to try just as hard to explore certain aspects of my lifestyle.”
“I’ve told you before I’m willing to explore. I just don’t want to be your sub — I want to be your girlfriend.”
“Fair enough. So are we doing this?”
“Yes, we’re doing this.”
“Alright, I can fly you out here this weekend if you’ll be ready by then.”
“I have to pack all of my stuff. Will all my stuff fit in your place? And shit… wait, I just signed a new lease. Fuck.” Real life was always getting in the way of my dreams.
“No worries. You can leave your stuff there. I have everything you could ever need here in L.A. We’ll go shopping and buy you new clothes. Just pack your necessities. I’ll buy out your lease so you don’t have to worry about that. We’ll leave your furniture there for the time being, but of course we’ll get everything out of there before your lease is up. Sound like a plan?”
Trevor blew my mind with how organized and on top of things he was. He had an answer for everything. “Yeah, that sounds like a plan.” I took a deep breath as I realized that my life seemed to finally be turning around.
“Giavanna, I am so happy that you’re back in my life again. You really are the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Thank you for giving me a second chance.”
“Of course Trevor. How could I not forgive you. You’re a dream come true.”
“Oh just you wait. I’m really going to make your dreams come true. I have a surprise for you when you get here.”
He had already single-handedly turned my life around by giving me a position on Rock Hard TV. I couldn’t even imagine what else he had up his sleeve. “Ohmigawd! What is it Trevor?”
“You have to wait until you get here to find out.”
“Come on, give me a hint.”
“Nope. Don’t you have a suitcase to pack and a job to give notice to missy? You should probably go tend to those things.”
“Okay, Mr. Bossy. I’m glad you don’t actually work for the station. I couldn’t imagine working directly under you every day.” I rolled my eyes.
“Alright, feisty. You’d probably better get off the phone before you make me rescind my offer.” Trevor chuckled. I loved when he was able to joke around.
“Okay, you’re right, I should probably go and take care of things.” I couldn’t stop smiling. “Trevor?”
“Yes?”
“I’m really happy we’re back together.”
“Me too, Giavanna. Me too.”
“Alright, I’m going to go.”
“Okay, I will call you in a couple days to let you know what time to be to the airport on Saturday. I’ll even send you a limo.”
“Trevor, I don’t need a limo.”
“Just take it.”
“Fine, boss.”
“You’re learning.”
“Whatever. I’ll see you soon.”
“Not soon enough.”
“Bye.”
“Bye.”
I jumped up and down and squealed uncontrollably as soon as I hung up the phone. I’m gonna be on TV!! Annnd I got my boyfriend back. YES! Less than a day ago my life was falling to pieces — now I was winning the game and living the dream — and it all happened in an instant.
Chapter 6
I WAS SETTLING nicely into my life with Trevor in L.A. His Hollywood Hills mansion was even more stunning than his Lincoln Park Penthouse. It was weird not living in Chicago anymore. And it was even stranger not having to do anything for myself. Even though it took a little effort, I readjusted to having access to Trevor’s staff, his fine cuisine and all of his toys within a matter of days. I came from nothing, but sometimes I felt like I was born to be with a billionaire. At least that’s what Trevor kept putting in my head. I had been living with Trevor for almost two weeks, and there was never a dull moment. Even though I wasn’t working yet, there was plenty to keep me occupied. We hung out in his outdoor hot tub, drinking champagne, almost every night after he got off of work. I enjoyed being able to go outside in the winter. I really loved that there was no snow on the ground. Trevor took me for a spin in his limited edition LaFerrari whenever he had the chance. He loved how I would squeal every time he made the car go from standing still to over sixty miles per hour in a matter of seconds. It was the fastest car I’d ever been in. There were times I thought we were going to lift off the ground and start flying. Trevor was an excellent driver. I was impressed by the way he was able to handle a car with so much horsepower. Everything with Trevor was fast and exciting,
not just his cars.
It was two days before Valentine’s Day and I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep. Trevor told me he had a surprise for me before I even moved out here. I spent days trying to guess but he wouldn’t even give me a hint. He finally told me what he had in store once I’d gotten settled in. He planned a vacation to Hawaii to celebrate Valentine’s Day, and to commemorate my acceptance of the position on Rock Hard TV. He said he had a beach home and a yacht there he wanted to show me. I’d never been to Hawaii, so I almost fainted when he told me that’s what my surprise was. I’d just quit my job, and left my cramped one-bedroom apartment and the brutal Chicago winter behind, to start a life with the man I loved in glamorous Los Angeles, California. Not only was I the girlfriend of a man who was larger than life, I was going to be a star in my own right. I had my first on-air appearance in just a couple of weeks. And in less than twenty-four hours we were going to be in Hawaii. Life was happening so fast; I felt like I was on a roller coaster.
* * *
We were listening to a beautiful ambient piece by Sigur Ros on the surround sound speakers in Trevor’s jet as we descended upon the island of Ohau. My emotions peaked with the music as we drifted through the clouds and landed in paradise. I felt like I was in a movie, but even Hollywood couldn’t top this. Trevor kissed me as we exited the plane. My heart skipped a beat and all my hair stood on end. Trevor blew my mind.
“Happy Valentine’s Day Giavanna. I am so happy to have you back.” Trevor took my hand and led me across the tarmac to the shiny black Bugatti that was waiting for us. I was speechless. There were no words to express how excited I was. I threw my arms around Trevor’s neck and pressed my lips against his. He twirled me around and pinned me against the car. I ran my fingers through his hair as he pushed his tongue into my mouth and pulled me closer. My mouth welcomed his as his hand explored my body over my jean shorts and tank top. We made out on the runway for what had to be over five minutes. My bikini bottoms were becoming moist and we hadn’t even hit the water.
Trevor held my hand against the gear shift as we drove along the shoreline. I’ve never been into cars but it actually turned me on a little, the way I could feel the Bugatti’s horsepower pulse through me every time we switched gears. I closed my eyes as I enjoyed the feeling of the tropical breeze tousling my hair. When I opened my eyes I was so overcome by euphoria as we pulled into Trevor’s oceanfront beach home that my body quivered with over-stimulation. The vivid colors of the island took my breath away. I was in awe of the way the golden sun shimmered against the translucent blue waves. And I was delighted by how the vibrant tropical flowers added a splash of color to the lush, green vegetation.
We parked the car and slipped out of our clothes. Trevor was already wearing his swim trunks under a pair of running pants, and I had my bikini on under my clothes. My body ached for Trevor as soon as he took his shirt off. His body was so tight and perfectly toned. I took a deep breath as I admired him. I felt like I was in heaven as we walked hand in hand along the private beach. This was literally the best Valentine’s Day of my life and it wasn’t even Valentine’s Day yet. It was only the day before. I couldn’t even imagine what Trevor had in store for the actual holiday. We talked about our future and how much we had missed each other during the breakup for hours. We sat on the beach and he held me in his arms until the sun went down. I was pleasantly surprised that Trevor was actually opening up to me. “Trevor, this is the best Valentine’s Day ever. Thank you.” I smiled at him as we made our way back to the beach house.
“Oh it’s not even Valentine’s Day yet. Just wait until tomorrow. We’re going to go out on my yacht in the morning, then we’re going to get couples’ massages, and after that I’m going to take you out for fresh seafood and champagne.”
“Wow, you really know how to show a girl a good time,” I beamed.
“I’ve never been this extravagant with anyone else besides you. You’re the first woman I’ve ever brought out here to my beach house. I’m glad I finally have someone to share it with.”
“Really? I’m the first?” I was touched.
“Yep, and I hope you’ll be the last.” Trevor kissed me softly on the lips.
“Aww Trevor, now I feel bad.”
“Why?”
“You are being so good to me, and I didn’t even get you anything for Valentine’s Day.”
“You know what you can give me?” Trevor’s eyes lit up. I wondered what was going on inside of his head.
“What?” I leaned in, eager to hear what Trevor was about to say. He had given me so much from the moment I’d met him, and I always felt I wasn’t giving enough in return.
“I want this.” Trevor reached down and squeezed my ass. I squealed as I playfully swatted his hand away.
“I give you that all the time silly.” I giggled.
“No Giavanna.” Trevor gazed at me intently. His tone was serious and he had a devious look in his eye. “I want to deflower you,” Trevor said quietly as he seductively ran his fingers down the crease of my backside. His touch made me tingle. “Ever since you told me you’ve never had anal before I’ve wanted to bend you over and do bad things to you.” My face flushed as I held Trevor’s gaze. I was turned on but I had reservations.
“I don’t know Trevor. Like you said, I’ve never done that before.”
“I know. That’s the fun part. You’ve been my first for so many things. I want to be your first for something. Whaddya say? Can I have it?” Trevor caressed my bottom before swatting me so hard I jumped. My body was pulsing with titillation.
“I don’t know. Let me think about it. I’ll let you know tomorrow.”
“Fair enough. I hope you don’t disappoint.” I really wanted to make Trevor happy, but I wasn’t sure if I was ready for what he was asking for. My mind raced with a million questions. I wondered if it would hurt and if it would be like losing my virginity. On an intellectual level I was nervous but on a visceral level I was excited and turned on by his indecent desires.
Trevor put his arm around me as we made our way on to the porch. His beach house was open and spacious, but it was smaller and less extravagant than his other homes. I appreciated the way the simplicity of the house allowed the opulence of the island to speak for itself. The view from the bedroom was my favorite. It was completely open. The queen-sized bed faced the ocean, and the fourth wall was made of retractable glass. We lowered the glass as we winded down for the evening, so not only was our view of the ocean unobstructed, but we could hear the sound of the waves lapping against the shore as we laid in bed. The canopy and white curtains that surrounded the bed made me feel like a princess. I nuzzled closer to Trevor as I looked forward to what Valentine’s Day would bring.
* * *
Valentine’s Day went just as fast as it came. I enjoyed the time we spent on Trevor’s yacht during the day. The feeling of the sun on my skin and the wind in my hair made me feel alive. The sun was setting, and we were on the patio of a five-star restaurant that was surrounded by water. We finished our second bottle of champagne as we waited for the check. I didn’t even want to see the bill. We had a five-course meal, in addition to the high-end drinks. I read about different types of champagne in my wine magazines and I knew that our bottle was about the same price as a vehicle. I didn’t even want to think about what everything else cost when it all added up. Trevor was really going all out. As I took my last sip of twenty thousand dollar champagne, it finally clicked. Trevor was over-compensating. He was bathing me in luxury to make up for the fact that he didn’t love me, and he would probably never love me, because he didn’t know how. He was probably used to using his money to buy him out of making authentic connections with other human beings.
He may not have felt as deeply for me as I felt for him, but I believed him when he said he’d shared more with me than he had with any other woman in recent history. He’d not only allowed me to share in all of the perks of being a billionaire, but he’d also let me in emotionally,
at least more than he had been. But I sensed there was still a lot he was holding back. I could tell that he was really trying to be the boyfriend I wanted him to be, but something seemed off. His chivalry was a bit over the top. It seemed he was doing everything in his power to distract me from really getting to know him on an intimate level. I decided to just enjoy myself instead of analyzing a problem that may or may not be there anyway. I was feeling warm and giddy from the two bottles of champagne we split. I was pleasantly full and I was feeling really good.
“Let’s take a walk and let your food digest. I need you to have an empty stomach for what I want to do to you.” I let Trevor help me out of my chair and escort me out to the beach. We walked arm-in-arm. “I know you don’t want to be my submissive, and I’ve finally realized that for now I’m fine with that. But I would like for you to submit to me just for tonight. I’ve been feeling an insatiable desire to dominate you and totally consume you. Let me have you tonight, Giavanna… all of you. It will be an experience unlike any other for both of us. Let me take you to the moon and back.” Trevor caressed the small of my back. His confidence made my body ache for him. I longed to give all of myself to him.
“Alright, I’ll let you be my first under one condition.”
“What’s that?” Trevor raised his eyebrows.
“You have to promise to be gentle.”
“Of course I will. I want your first time to blow your mind. Don’t you worry, I’m going to make you feel so good you can’t even imagine it without having experienced it. Just trust me.”
My heart skipped a beat as I realized just how much faith I was putting in Trevor. “Well obviously I trust you. Giving myself to you in this way is not only the ultimate act of submission. It’s the ultimate act of trust.”
“That it is. And I’m honored that you feel I have earned it.”
“You’ve done more than enough to earn it. It is actually my honor to give myself to you. I’m excited for you to finally have all of me.”
“I’m excited too. I’ve been waiting for this moment since the day I met you.” Trevor’s eyes flickered with desire. I was slightly rattled by the fact that he had been thinking about this for such a long time. I wondered what else he had been plotting behind the scenes. I had to remind myself not to over-analyze. I was already wet for him, and we hadn’t even made it to the bedroom yet. We quietly strolled along the beach for close to an hour as the anticipation mounted. By the time we got back to the house my body was so hungry for Trevor I could taste it.
