Billionaire's Intern: A Billionaire Office Romance (Hot Billionaires Book 3)
Page 13
That made her face go red again and I was starting to think that her face was that color, more than it was anything else. It was strange to see such a reaction every time. She acted like she was innocent, but I knew for certain that she wasn’t. She was a hard catch, but certainly not innocent.
Sarah didn’t answer me, not in words anyway. Instead, she opened up her door and got out. If she had wanted to go anywhere else, she would have made it known. I was glad that she didn’t, because I don’t know if I would have been able to handle the disappointment right now. I wanted her, needed her and there was nothing else that I was going to be able to do.
I caught up to her at the bottom of the stairs and the doorman opened the door for us.
“Good to see you Richard.”
“You as well. How is Tabitha feeling?”
“Better. You were right about that soup. I don’t know what’s in it, but she is doing a lot better today.”
I pushed the button on the elevator. “I think it was turmeric.”
He said something about telling his wife and I waved to him as we went up. I didn’t have time for small talk today. The only thing that I had a need for, was alone time with Sarah and as soon as the doors closed, I moved closer and pulled her into my arms.
“What are you doing?”
“What I’ve been dying to do all day.”
My lips crashed down onto hers and she made the loveliest sounds of pleasure that I’d ever heard. There had always been something about the small sounds of need that she made. They enhanced when I pressed against her core and I wondered if she was as wet as before. I was afraid that she was, because then I wouldn’t be able to control myself.
I thought it best that I don’t look to find out. The information was only going to mess with my mind, and I think I’d had enough of that.
Before I got to the place of no return, the elevator dinged and we both got out. She had that glazed look in her eyes again and it didn't take long to imagine what that meant for me.
Chapter 26
Sarah
He was on me as soon as we were out of the elevator. Richard was pulling my dress down quickly. I was stepping out of it, before I made ten steps into his penthouse. I wasn’t as overwhelmed by the place this time, as I had been here before, but it was still a lot to take in.
Richard’s lips and hands were seemingly everywhere. My bra was lost in the blur of movement and then his lips were on the tips of my breasts. I looked down to see him latched on, secretly wondering how he even got there. Richard was a man that I never saw coming. All of a sudden, he was just there.
He was magic. I had known that the first time I had heard him speak at my college. I had dreamed about a moment like this. Richard looked up at me with need in his eyes, and that was it for me. It was all I’d ever wanted and more, written across his face so beautifully. I didn’t know how else to describe it.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
I shrugged. “I don’t know. I am just wondering where you came from and how we are here.”
He chuckled. “I wonder the same thing Sarah.”
“And what conclusion have you came to?”
Richard’s eyes darkened and he looked towards my lower half. I could feel him pulling the panties off of me slowly. The cool air from the air conditioner hit my body and I shivered. Richard thought that it was from him and told me not to be afraid. I really wasn’t, until he said that.
I watched his face get closer to my core, so close I could feel the hot breath on my core. I think he knew exactly what he was doing to me and he highly enjoyed it. I didn’t have long to worry about any of it. His tongue came out and took a long lick on me. I watched it in slow motion, before I closed my eyes to the pleasure. This was exactly what I needed.
The second lick was more pronounced and felt deeper than before. It touched every bit of me and put pressure on going deeper. I made a yelping sound, sure that he was using something other than his tongue. Richard just held me in place, lapping at my core, as I trembled and focused almost solely on staying upright.
My legs were shaking, and I was thankful that Richard seemed to notice. It didn’t mean that he was going to stop the onslaught that he was doing to my body, but it meant that he held me tighter. At least if I lost it, I wouldn’t have to worry about falling. It came in handy moments later, as my legs started to give out. A wave of pleasure came crashing over me and it was all I could do, to stay upright.
I whimpered at the feelings that were coursing through me and I was calling out his name. I hadn’t even known that I was doing it. It was just something that happened.
Then he was pressing me down into the carpet the next room over, and I was a bit shocked. I don’t know how I even got there. I was missing time and I know that it was because of Richard. The feelings were so intense, I was blanking out.
Now his body was on top of mine, rubbing suggestively against me and his lips were capturing mine. I wiggled around in his arms, dying to feel more and he finally pushed off of me and started to pull his clothes off.
I was able to finally get an eyeful and it was a bit intimidating. Underneath those perfectly tailored suits, was a perfectly chiseled body that almost looked too good to touch.
When his pants came off, my attention was on the front of his boxers. It was clear that he was ready.
The boxers came down next and I was dry-mouthed. He was so hard, thick and throbbing. My hand went out to touch him, and Richard made him jerk. I had been concentrating so hard on it, that I almost jumped, which he thought was hilarious. As much as I liked to believe that I was going to be able to handle him, I really wasn’t too sure.
He was big, really big. Richard was backing away, and I knew that it was because it was feeling too good. I got a harsh groan from him.
Wetness flooded my panties and I wasn’t able to control myself anymore. I just couldn’t. I took his member in my mouth. I stuffed him as deep as I could down my throat, practically choking on the length. I had to back off of him for a moment, but it wasn’t long, before I was pushing him back down my throat, trying to swallow all of him. It was making my throat sore, but the sound of his pleasure, was enough to keep me going.
Finally, Richard pulled me away from him and groaned loudly. “You have to stop that Sarah, or neither one of us is going to be very happy with the results.”
“I don’t want to stop.”
He pushed me down onto the carpet and covered my body with his larger one after slipping a condom on his more than ready cock. It was clear, without saying a word, that I didn’t have that much of a say in all of this. He was the one in control and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. His body felt good on top of me and it made me want more.
I opened my legs up to let him in between them and started to wrap them around his waist. Richard pulled them off though and started to put them on his shoulders. It made me nervous, because now I was fully at his mercy and I don’t know if I was ready for it.
Then he was pressing in and the change of how I was positioned, changed everything. I had never felt anything so deep inside of me before. I cried out and then he went deeper. My eyes were suddenly coming open and Richard was in a place that I don’t think I had ever felt touched before. It was almost immediate, the orgasm that I couldn’t stop, and it had my whole-body convulsing.
Richard didn’t stop. He just picked up the pace and played with my clit. Several times he told me to open my eyes and look at him, but I really wasn’t able to. It was just too much, and I didn’t want to lose myself. I felt like I was going to.
His dark eyes stared into mine and I held them as I went over another edge of pleasure. The relief was short and then pleasure was building again. It happened repeatedly, until I really couldn’t do it anymore.
I begged him to come, because I was losing all sense of myself. I wanted a moment to breathe, but I couldn’t. Richard was just too much, and I was done.
r /> “If I come, I have to stop.”
“You have to stop, whether you come or not Richard.”
That seemed to be the deciding factor and I almost immediately felt hot seed splashing inside of me. It was a lot, so much so, that it actually made me feel even fuller. I don’t know how he did that so quick, unless he had been holding back the whole time.
As he pulled out, I felt it sliding out of me, cooling as it hit the air. I was writhing underneath him and even when he kissed me, I still wasn’t revived.
“Let me get you off of this floor Sarah. This wasn’t how I planned it. I wanted it to be different. I wanted to show you how much I care and will cherish you.”
That made me laugh and he was the one with the soured look.
“Seriously. I had a whole thing set-up upstairs. Do you want to see it?”
I shook my head that I didn’t. “I can’t take any more surprises tonight.”
“You will be surprised what you can handle Sarah. I can’t wait to show you.”
Why did that sound like a threat?
Chapter 27
Richard
I felt like I was on top of the world, when I went into work the next day. Sarah had insisted on leaving and even though I wanted her to stay for the night, I didn’t let it bother me. She wanted to get back because her and Donna had some unpacking to do, but I wasn't sure if that was the real reason or not. It seemed like an excuse more than anything. I think Sarah was overwhelmed.
Besides all that though, I couldn't have been happier with how things had worked out. I knew for a fact that Sarah was now mine. There was no more working on her or trying to figure out what the hell I was going to do. It was all said and done now.
***
I saw Charles with this pissy look on his face and I knew that it was going to be trouble. I almost told him to turn right around and get the hell out of my office, because I didn't want to hear it. I didn't want him to ruin my day.
But I couldn't do that. I knew that I had to take care of whatever it was, no matter how badly I didn't want to.
“What is it?” He didn't like my tone and he told me as much.
“You are the one coming in here with that face. Just tell me what it is, so I won’t have to sit here and worry about it. What has you looking this way?”
He didn't look happy and I could only imagine what was going on. It always seemed like it was something.
“I got some bad news and a pissed off guy in the waiting room.”
There were so many people that could be sitting there waiting for me, mad. He had to be a lot more specific than that.
“So, who is it?”
“Amber’s dad.”
“God, she really is the gift that keeps on giving, isn’t she?”
That one was a little bit surprising. I had not seen Keith in person since he asked me to take her on as an intern. I had been reserved in doing so, but he had pushed our business relationship. Now there was no telling what he was here for.
“And is that the bad news?”
“Part of it. We also lost three interns today.”
“If it is Amber and her friends, I am going to take that as a win.”
“That may as well be, until you hear why she left. Why they all left.”
“Do I need to sit down for this?”
“Not really, I think we both knew this was coming. You certainly haven't hidden your affection for Sarah.”
“Why would I do that?”
“Because you have and I quote, made a hostile work environment that she felt was impossible to get ahead in. Basically, you picked another woman and we're showing her favors.”
I scoffed before I could stop myself. I know that this was serious, and most likely it was going to tarnish my family's good name, but I cared far less than I was supposed to. I should have been just as upset about it as Charles was, but he was right about one thing, I knew that this was coming. That was the worst part of it all. But I would have done more, just to be with Sarah.
“Well, we will let the lawyers take care of it. I am not going to lose any sleep over at. Send in Keith.”
“Are you sure you want to talk to him? I can tell him that you are at a meeting. I left and told him that I was coming to find you.”
“And here I am, so send him in.” I waved off anymore protests. I wanted to get this over with.
“I have nothing to hide. I did my best and maybe he should hear about what his daughter is up to you. I know that he didn't raise her that way. Keith has always been upstanding in business, even if he was a little rough around the edges.”
“That rough around the edges part, is what I'm worried about Richard. He looks really pissed off out there. There's no telling what he has been told.”
“It's fine. It is better just to get it out in the open.”
Charles did not agree, but I didn't want to hear any more about it. I was also not liking Charles’s new habit to behave like my boss and not following orders. But I decided to deal with him later and asked him to send Keith in.
I was not someone that was going to hide anything. That only seemed to make things worse. I was going to figure out what was going on and why he was in my waiting room upset. He was a valued business partner and I wanted to nip this in the bud as quickly as possible.
It didn’t take long for me to find out what was going on. Seconds really. Keith apparently felt the same way about getting things off his chest.
“Tell me that what I have heard is not true, Richard!”
“I can tell by how mad you are, that it is most likely not true. Let me know what is going on in your mind. What have you heard, and I will try to help you figure this out? This has to be a misunderstanding.”
I offered him a seat, but he seemed to be too worked up for that. Instead, he wanted to pace back and forth in front of my desk. It was hard not to see how large of a man he was and how close he looked to the comparison of a raging bull. His veins were sticking out of his neck and his eyes were practically popping out of his school.
Finally, he stopped and stared.
“My daughter says that you came on to her and when she turned you down, you berated her in front of the rest of the interns. Quite frankly, she has said quite a bit, and I want to know how much of this true.”
“I did not make any passes on your daughter... Everything after that goes in line. Your daughter stole one of her fellow intern’s presentation, used it as her own and was caught taking it on camera. I can show you the copy if you like, though I would imagine you know how Amber is. That’s why you had to come here to get her, as well as her friends, an internship. I did that as a courtesy, and I have been above-board on everything.”
I was trying to be as soothing and calming as possible, but it was hard when I was fighting not to feel defensive. He was pacing a little less and I could see the look in his eye. He knew exactly what sort of daughter he had. I wasn’t going to say much; I didn’t have to. Amber was one of a kind and she hadn’t just started being that way, I would imagine.
“Then why would she say all of those things about you?”
I shrugged, because I really had no idea what she was on. There was no telling why Amber did the things she did. I had an idea but telling her dad that I had turned her down and she was mad, wasn’t going to sound right or end well either.
“I don’t know Mr. Keith, but I am willing to forget this. We’ve worked together for years. We shouldn’t let this come between that now.”
I was to the point I could give or take the situation. I knew that there was nothing that I was going to be able to do, to make everything alright with him, but I didn’t want to lose him all the way. If I did, life would go on of course, but I had learned to never make an enemy, if there was any way to get around it.
“I have to believe her.”
I agreed and sighed. He finally sat down, and I could tell that he had a lot more on his mind, then me. That
was a relief, but I still wasn’t sure what to do from here. It was all just too hard to handle. Why wasn’t I able to say what needed to be said? His daughter had caused me a lot of trouble. I was not going to apologize.
“I can understand that Keith. We can put our negotiations on hold until you feel differently. The truth always has a way of coming out.”
“What will we do about the merge with Krimpton?”
I shrugged. “It will still be there when you come back to the table. Settle your house and I will see you then.”
Keith left and I sighed out loud. I swear it was like the world was doing its best to keep me and Sarah apart, but I wasn’t going to allow it. Instead of letting it all get to me, I decided to go find her. I wasn’t sure where she was, but I knew that I wasn’t going to let any of it bother me.
Then I got a call from her and I started to relax. Maybe the universe wasn’t out to get me after all. It was Sarah and everything was immediately all right with the world.
“Hey baby. I was just trying to get ahold of you.”
“Tell me that it isn’t true!?”
I sighed out loud and groaned. Apparently, I had spoken too soon.
Chapter 28
Sarah
I didn’t want to feel like a fool, but that was exactly what was happening. I felt like I had been played and now I was the idiot that everyone felt sorry for. I had gotten with Richard under false pretense and I wasn’t the only one.
“You’re going to have to tell me what you’re going on about Sarah. I really have no idea.”
“All of this stuff that I am hearing about Amber. I want to know if it’s true. They are saying that you sexually harassed her. It’s all over the office and I just couldn’t hear it anymore.”
“Is that why you are nowhere to be found?”
“Yes, I didn’t want to get emotional in front of people. I am already embarrassed enough. I don’t think my pride would be able to let me see it through.”
