Twisted_A Billionaire Romance

by Stella Andrews

  I head back to my office with determination. Those bastards think they’ve got me. I know this is Todd’s doing. It’s got his smell all over it. That invitation was designed with only one guest in mind. They want Katherine and I’m surplus to requirements. I knew she was good but even they caved sooner than I thought. Someone is obviously feeding them some dynamite Intel and I know just who’s responsible.

  I take a moment to think about my competition. The one man I owe everything to who is fast becoming my biggest fear. Katherine loved him that’s obvious. Everything she’s doing is out of loyalty to him and yet he has no worry about putting her through hell just to avenge his new wife. It’s a crazy, sick, situation and I should tear his heart out. But when someone saves your life, they own you forever. I have a huge debt to pay back myself and I honor my debts to the letter. I’m not gonna lie, the feelings she has for Ryder worry me. Am I second best? I know I am. If he called - she’d run. My heart wrenches and twists inside me like a physical pain. Despite everything, she matters more than anything else. If she wants him at the end of this, even in the crazy, sick, way as a bikers whore, then I’ll have to walk away and deal with the loss. I won’t let her down though. He did and I never want to be the one to put the pain in her eyes that I see every time she mentions him. Ryder fucking King is the devil as far as I’m concerned and he owns my soul.

  Cody looks up as I enter the room and exhales sharply. “I’m not sure what happened but the customer’s spooked. There’s some clause in the original contract that’s worrying them, but I’m sure I’ve never seen it before. Who drew these contracts up and why are we only seeing this now?”

  He pushes the paper across the desk towards me and I read it carefully. Disguised around some technical wording is a clause that the guarantee becomes void if the government contract expires.

  I look at Cody and shake my head. “Find me the government contract.”

  He rifles through some papers and hands them over. I scan the paragraphs until I find the one I’m looking for. Then I check again and look at Cody and bark. “Since when was the contract only for six months?”

  He looks alarmed. “What are you talking about? I negotiated it myself. The contracts for five years with an opt-out clause after two. Where does six months come into it?”

  I push the paper across the desk.

  “Then why does it say six months? When did these arrive?”

  He looks worried. “Earlier today by courier. The solicitors drew them up this morning, but this wasn’t in the original.”

  I growl. “When did the Saudis receive the contract?”

  Cody groans. “Two hours ago.”

  I slam my fist on the table. “Here’s your problem. Who would commit to some contract worth billions for six fucking months of supply? Get me the Senator’s office responsible on the phone.”

  Cody shakes his head. “You’ll be lucky. They’ve long since gone home. I’m guessing they’ll blame it on a typo and by the time it’s sorted the deadline will have passed. Ronsteel is about to benefit from our misfortune.”

  I snarl. “Like fuck, they will. Get Mr. Mohammed on the phone.”

  Cody sighs heavily. “Ok, I’m not sure what good it will do but worth a try at least.”

  He heads off to his office to find the details and I almost shake with anger. Fucking Todd Preston, he’s responsible for messing with my business just so he gets a twisted fuck. Well, now he’s my number one enemy and like Ryder, I take no prisoners.”

  I see the computer blinking as it notifies me something’s coming through.

  I flick the screen and see the link to the CCTV installed at the club.

  Quickly, I set it up and watch as the screen bursts to life with every view I need. Frantically, I search for the only one I want to see.

  My heart thumps erratically as I see her hand in Todd’s, as they talk with the President himself. I feel the white heat of anger burning my soul as the rage takes over my level head. One false move and they’re about to discover the power of revenge. Ryder’s revenge has just become personal.

  20

  Katherine

  We must stand talking to the President for a good twenty minutes before the final puzzle piece comes into play. I watch as Scott Parker heads towards us and he doesn’t look happy.

  He nods to the others and I see the interest kindled in his eyes as he notices me standing there. Todd pushes me gently towards him and says, “Scott, I believe you’ve already had the pleasure of meeting Katherine Rogers.”

  Scott nods and takes my hand, squeezing it gently. “Of course, it was a pleasure then as much as it is now.”

  I look at him with concern and note the strain in his eyes. He grins ruefully and whispers, “Thanks for the tip-off but things didn’t quite go according to plan.”

  I smile with concern. “I’m sorry to hear that, Sir.”

  He looks at me for a moment and I see his mind working overtime. Then he leans in and says softly, “It appears I have a vacancy for a submissive. If I understand things correctly you may be about to fill the vacant position.”

  I look down and nod, all the time wishing I could punch him hard. What an asshole. So much for the love of his life. He’s quick to move on and replace her, which just goes to show what total sleaze asses these guys are.

  He shifts closer. “You’re in for quite the education young lady. I will look forward to your initiation later on tonight.”

  I think I’m about to be sick. The thought of these men laying one finger on me is enough to make me run screaming from this place. Silently I pray for Sam to hurry the fuck up.

  Once again, I grab a glass of courage from the waiter and down it in one. I can feel my heart beating wildly inside but outwardly I remain composed and in control.

  I look around at the other guests. All of them are wearing masks but it doesn’t disguise the more recognizable among them. I see powerful members of the Senate rubbing shoulders with celebrities and businessmen. I wonder if they know what really goes on inside these walls.

  It appears to be a place to forget protocol and inhibitions. I see many a happily married man openly groping a willing companion who is definitely not their wife. I watch in shock as one woman sits astride her date and dry humps him the corner as he fondles her breasts. Then I watch as several couples head to a room in the corner with excited looks at the others who follow them. This place is filled with debauchery and morals are left firmly at the front door.

  Almost as if they can sense it, I feel the men in my sights surrounding me and Todd takes my hand and says in a strong voice, “Come, Katherine. Let us show you what happens next.”

  I look at the three men around me and almost pass out. Their intent is written plainly on their faces and they don’t want to wait anymore.

  I try to put a brave face on and smile seductively.

  “Do I get a moment to freshen up?”

  I see the spark in their eyes as Todd smiles. “Of course. I will escort you to your room and you can prepare yourself. We will make the necessary preparations.”

  Smiling sexily, I follow him from the room and try to still my beating heart. I know I’ve just bought myself ten minutes at best but I need every one of them.

  He leads me up a grand staircase and I try to block out the sounds coming from the rooms we pass. Todd laughs softly as we hear a woman scream and it doesn’t sound as if it’s for joy.

  He shakes his head and says softly, “Some of our guests are a little rougher than others. I always find it helps to relax and just roll with it. Much more enjoyable that way.”

  I feel my heart harden and the fire in my soul burning out of control. Whatever it is these men do, they don’t consider the feelings of the women they lure here for their pleasure.

  We reach another staircase and he laughs gently. “We have a much more private set up at the top of the house. This will be where you live, in the apartment suite that accompanies our playroom. I imagine you’ll find it to be e
verything you’ve ever dreamed of.”

  I just smile sexily and push down my real opinion. Is this guy for real? I picture his loving girlfriend waiting for him at home and imagine he’s told her he’s ‘working’.

  I feel sorry for her stuck with a creep like him coming home every night. He paints a picture to the voters of a devoted fiancé. A devout Christian and leader of men. If his adoring public could see him now.

  He stops outside a double white door and opens it with a flourish. “Welcome to your new home, pet.”

  I look around me and gasp out loud. As rooms go, this is among the best I’ve ever seen. White soft carpeting holds elegant furniture in place. Comfortable couches nestle among glass tables and beautiful lighting lights up every corner. The drapes look of the heaviest silk and the smell is amazing.

  Todd pulls me inside and leads me toward a door at the end. He opens it and reveals a beautiful bedroom with the most enormous bed I’ve ever seen, dressed with silken sheets and fur throws.

  He says briskly,

  “This will be your room. Freshen up and then meet us on the opposite side of the room we’ve just been in. That’s our playroom and out of bounds unless one of us invites you in.

  Meet us there in ten minutes and make sure you are wearing nothing but your underwear. Knock first and then kneel by the door facing the wall. We will come for you when we are ready.

  I swallow - hard. Fuck me, this shit’s getting real.

  He leaves me to freshen up and I bolt into the bathroom and make to lock the door. I soon realize there isn’t one and my heart sinks. Of course, I can’t escape them at any time. They have full access to me whenever they want. I’m a toy to be picked up and played with when it suits them and I have no say in the matter.

  I look in the huge mirror at the frightened eyes staring back at me. I can’t so this. I’m no whore inside. I never chose to be used by men. First, I was forced into it by a man who imprisoned me and I had no choice. Then I moved between the hottest men I had ever met because I wanted to, not because they did - although they seemed happy enough to oblige me.

  Ryder was the only one I loved with all my heart but he didn’t love me. He was fond of me, I knew that which made it kind of ok. But now there’s Sam and I finally know what true love is.

  The tears bathe my eyes as I picture his face. I can’t do this despite what Ryder thinks I’m capable of. I’m no whore, I’m just a woman who has found love after searching for it in all the wrong places. I can’t revenge those others because it will destroy me inside.

  I feel the walls closing in on me as my situation hits home. What the hell have I done?

  I think I must be in shock because I haven’t moved an inch when I hear a terse, “I said ten minutes and it’s been fifteen. You will soon learn that we don’t appreciate our orders disobeyed and now you will suffer the consequences.”

  I quickly shout, “Sorry, I’ll be right there.”

  Taking a deep breath, I unzip my dress and watch it fall to the floor. My black underwear mocks me as it reveals the whore beneath. I’m not even sure how I’ll set up the cameras. They won’t hide within the silk and the only place to hide them is on the heel of my shoe. I need to think this through but I don’t have time. So, I do as I first thought and press them in place on my inner heel. I must remember to place the shoe toes out so the cameras can work.

  With a deep breath, I head back outside and note the empty room beckoning me towards my fate. Each step is like the walk of shame. My shame - because I agreed to see this through.

  I reach the door and knock loudly before doing as they asked. Sinking to my knees I face the wall and try to still my beating heart.

  Sam

  I think I’m about to lose my mind. Mr. Mohammed is playing hard to get, and it takes us about an hour before he agrees to take my call. All the time I study the picture on the screen while Cody bleats on about the contract. I try to still my anger because I need to keep a cool head.

  As long as I see Katherine I’m fine.

  By the time the call comes through I’m on my last nerve.

  As soon as I hear his voice something switches inside me and I revert back to being the hard-assed businessman I am. I’m to the point and manage to talk my way into an extension until the government office opens, and the typo is redressed. After promising to attend to it personally and send the revised contracts over by mid-morning he hangs up and I breathe a sigh of relief.

  Cody looks at me and raises his eyes.

  “Man, that was close. You’re a fucking legend, Sam.”

  I smirk as I grab my coat and keys, snapping the computer shut as I head towards the door.

  “You’d better believe it. Now I’m heading where I should have been two hours ago and you can clean up here. I’ll meet you back here at six in the morning and we’ll go through the contract with a magnifying glass. This needs to be watertight when the new draft leaves this office.

  Cody nods and I smile briefly. “Thanks, Cody. I appreciate your help.”

  He shrugs. “It’s what you pay me over the odds to do. I’ve always got your back, Sam, remember that.”

  Nodding, I leave as quickly as I can. It’s time for me to have someone else’s back.

  I nod to the security guy as I leave the empty building and as the cool air hits me I take a deep breath. I just hope I’m in time to make a difference.

  As I set off through the evening traffic, I place my final call.

  21

  Katherine

  I hear the door click open and swallow hard. I feel my legs trembling as I wait for this to begin. I sense someone stands behind me and try to silence my thumping heart.

  A low voice says, “Stand up and follow me.”

  I do as he says and as I turn, I see Todd watching me with intent. He smirks and nods towards the door. “They’re waiting for you.”

  I follow him into the room and feel the terror run through me as I see what it is. This is a playroom like none I’ve ever seen. Dark walls surround a room of terror. There is everything here to indulge the fantasy of a man bent on every kind of sexual perversion.

  There is a huge cross nailed to the wall with restraints hanging down. A large table sits in the middle with similar restraints and the lighting is subdued and sensual. Candles burn brightly everywhere and low music plays.

  As my eyes adjust, I see the four men who are about to pay a heavy price. The trouble is, I think the price I’m about to pay is much more as I see the potent lust in their eyes.

  Todd moves across to join the four men who are sitting on a leather couch watching me. Chester says in a low voice.

  “Come and stand before us, my dear. We want to appreciate your beauty.”

  I do as he says and feel their scrutiny. Grady grins and growls, “Beautiful. I’m betting that you’ll look even better with nothing on to obscure our view.”

  Todd laughs. “Patience, Grady. You always were keen to get started. We mustn’t scare our guest away before she has time to feel comfortable with us.”

  Chester laughs. “Come and sit with us, my dear. We’ll get to know each other first.”

  I walk slowly towards them, grateful for any time I have that doesn’t involve them touching me. They part to let me sit and I sit between Chester and Todd. Todd takes my hand and whispers, “Relax, we are only intent on your pleasure. You’ll find this a pleasurable experience, after all, we want you to agree to stay.”

  I try to look grateful but feel anything but.

  Chester runs his fingers down my arm and over my breast. He says softly, “Exquisite. Such a beautiful toy for us to admire and cherish.”

  Todd does the same the other side and then Preston moves before me and sinks to his knees. “Let me help you with your shoes, my dear, you’ll feel much more comfortable without these on.”

  I feel alarmed as he removes my heels and rubs my feet. Then he leans down and licks the arch of my feet and groans. “Delicious.”

  Grady mov
es behind me and runs his fingers through my hair. “So beautiful. How I love a woman with long hair. So much more to grab hold of.”

  I feel his hands wrapping around my hair and pulling it tight. He leans down and kisses the back of my neck and I almost throw up. Then I feel him tighten his hold as Scott moves to the other side of Preston and takes my other foot in his hands.

  Chester laughs. “You are now just where we want you, my dear. Totally restrained and at our mercy.”

  I feel the alarm grip me as I sense a change in the atmosphere. Todd grasps me more firmly and presses me into the couch. The two men at my feet move aside and spread my legs as Chester moves between them. I gasp as he faces me with a twisted look of lustful intent and laughs softly. “Open up my dear, you’re about to be fucked by your five masters. We are going to show you what it’s like to be owned by the State.”

  The others laugh and I watch in horror as he unzips his pants and they fall to the floor. I shake my head.

  “No, this isn’t right. What is this?”

  Todd laughs. “What did you think it was? You agreed to this my little pet. We are just claiming what’s ours.”

  I cry. “I didn’t agree to anything. I haven’t signed your contract and nor will I.”

  Grady laughs. “Who cares about a fucking contract? If you don’t want to play, then it will be harder on you. Just lie back and enjoy the fuck of your life because you’re not going anywhere. By the time we’ve finished, you won’t want to leave this place.”

  Scott laughs. “I doubt you’ll be able to walk, anyway.”

  The men laugh and I feel sick. I start to shake as they change before me. My mind reverts back to an even darker time and I hear the dull, rasping voice of Vincent growling at me.

  “You fucking whore. Open those legs and let me in. You’re all the same.”
