Her Savior_A Dark Romance

by Nicole Casey

  A few days prior to Jackson and Amy’s wedding I had them pick up Jeremy to go out camping. While I would have loved to go with them I decided to stay home and spend one more day with Damon – he was off to begin training for the next NFL season and I wanted to be there before he left.

  So there I was, in the kitchen making pancakes, when Damon came walking in with nothing but his boxers on. That sight quickly turned me on and I turned around to greet him with a kiss. It was tempting to remove my shirt and shorts but I held back, hoping he’d be the one to initiate some fun.

  “Mmm, you’re extra delicious today, handsome,” I told him after we kissed. He wrapped me in his embrace and I giggled with glee. It was just all a dream-come-true to be here.

  He laughed and caressed my face with the back of his hand, “Not as delicious as you are. Where’s Jeremy?”

  “Oh, Jackson and Amy took him out camping,” I answered and I playfully leaned in to nip at his lips. I licked him too and he responded with a nibble on my neck that made me coo and moan.

  “That’s too sad, I’m leaving tomorrow,” he pointed out. “It would’ve been nice to spend some time with him before I go for training camp.”

  I smirked and he knew exactly what I intended. Needless to say, we spent the rest of the day and the night that followed fucking like rabbits. I was addicted to him and he was to me. For the first time in my life, I had everything I ever wanted and it was right here in our home: our kid, the man of my dreams and we both had the careers we desired. Damon being a popular sports athlete and billionaire was just an add-on bonus, the icing on the cake.

  By the next morning he had to go and fortunately for us, both Jackson and Amy arrived to bring Jeremy back home. He got to bid his father goodbye just in time. We watched as Damon drove off along with the rest of his management team as they made way to the NFL training center.

  “Make sure you kiss your father goodbye,” I told Jeremy that morning.

  It was heart-warming to see my son run up to Damon and give him a big hug and kiss. Damon looked back at me as they hugged and winked.

  “You take good care of your mom, okay?” Damon asked Jeremy as he rustled the latter’s hair. “You’re the man in the house while I’m gone.”

  Jeremy nodded and gave a thumbs-up, “I got it, dad! Good luck with your games! We’ll always watch!”

  Hearing Jeremy call Damon his dad made me smile. I thought this day would never come. For years Jeremy only knew that his father was famous – I never told him his dad was an NFL star – but now that he knew who he was it just felt like a natural fit.

  After they said their goodbyes Damon came over to me and gave me one last kiss.

  “I love you,” he whispered into my ear. “I’ll be back, don’t worry. I’m never going to leave you out in the dust ever again.”

  “I know,” I answered as I rubbed my face against his neck. “I love you too. Have fun out there.”

  After one last hug, he departed. This time however, he left with us knowing that he would come back. He left with the promise that we’d all be together when the NFL season was over. After five years, everything had come together and it wouldn’t have been possible if he didn’t stand in front of me at the food table during that one graduation night. It was funny how things changed and how they all worked out in the end.

  Epilogue

  Damon

  Five years ago I was just another idiot trying to make my name by being the brightest in school and the best on the football field. I didn’t want to leech off the millions of dollars that my parents earned – I wanted to earn my own legacy.

  All of that could have ended early due to a dumb idea I had during my graduation night – I got drunk and had a one-night stand with my best friend’s sister. I didn’t think much about that night afterwards and moved on with my life.

  I became the best rookie in the NFL and it didn’t take long for me to become a billionaire in my own right. However, ever-so-slowly the memories of my night with Emilia crept on me and before long I kept on reminiscing of the time I had with her.

  What I wasn’t aware of was that she was reminded of me every single day because she bore my son. Our one night together bore fruit and she raised Jeremy to the best of her capabilities even though she was a busy businesswoman in Europe.

  Jackson and Amy’s engagement and subsequent wedding was what brought us back together. I got to meet her again, get to know her – truly, this time – and now I had my son as well. It was all a dream come true.

  Ever since we all moved in I began my NFL training for my sixth year in the league, taking a vacation only once to attend Jackson and Amy’s wedding. During the reception I proposed to Emilia and she gladly accepted. It was one of the main highlights of the night… well, at least for me.

  We didn’t have the wedding immediately, however. I had to push it back a few months until after the NFL season. The season was one of my bests although this time we didn’t win the Super Bowl. Despite that the media and the public still labeled me as one of the best players of the year and this was cemented when I got the MVP award yet again.

  Still, it was a triumph for me and for Emilia. We eventually did get married and we had our reception at one of her newer hotel branches – which was luckily so close to Mercury Wild. Now Trevor’s place had more customers coming in and Emilia’s hotel and more rich and famous patrons as well.

  Our wedding wasn’t grandiose but it was what we wanted. It was intimate, it was romantic and it was just us with our close family and friends. Trevor and Jasmine Wild even sponsored our reception party.

  Jeremy was now legitimately my son. He now bore my name and we had a DNA testing done too to further legitimize his claim. The little kid was excited about it instead of getting scared about having his blood drawn. It was genuinely adorable to witness.

  My life had finally found meaning. I had the girl I always wanted, the son I needed to catch up with and the career that was shining as brightly as ever.

  Holding Emilia in my arms, this was what I lived for. I loved her and she loved me too.

  Book Description

  The Billionaire’s Deal

  I never let emotion get in the way of a good deal...until I meet her.

  I’m about to close the biggest deal in my life.

  The documents are signed. The price is set.

  The only problem?

  My client's sweet, young virgin daughter is helping me with the details.

  But all I can think about is taking her over my knee and on my desk.

  I shouldn't peek into Cherry's notebook, but I did anyway. I can't help myself.

  I peel it open, run my fingers along the paper, and find the most pleasant surprise.

  This dirty little virgin has been dreaming about public s*x, handcuffs, and blindfolds.

  So the game is on.

  It might blow the deal. It goes against all my rules. But I can't resist her lush curves or those kinky fantasies.

  Well, F*ck business.

  Deal or no deal, her a$$ is mine.

  Prologue

  DYLAN

  It was just another day at the office. I was bored to hell. If this next client didn’t have anything good on the table, I was going to just quit this day and spend my time at Mercury Wild. I was sure the other guys had some fun ideas. Well, anything was better than the drab I had to deal with here.

  “Mr. Bernard,” my secretary called on the machine. “Mr. Vergara and his daughter are here. They want to take the Mulberry property.”

  Fuck. Did I just complain about this being a slow day? Well, that instantly changed everything. The Mulberry property was one of the most expensive estates my company had and we definitely wanted to sell it to an investor before its value depreciated.

  “All right, Holly, let them in,” I instructed. “After that cancel everything I have for today. Let Joseph t
ake my cases if I still have any right now. Do I have anything?”

  “Just the Corman deal,” she replied. “I’ll let Joseph know. The Vergaras are coming in now, boss.”

  I took the little time I had left to fix my suit, adjust my blue necktie and take a sip of my coffee before they entered.

  The door creaked open and in walked Mr. Joel Vergara, a reputable old man who knew where to put his money. This was the first time I ever got to do business with him but not exactly the first time we’ve met. We did get to shake hands once during the opening of Mercury Wild as we both financed the bar.

  Joel was a little man, very thin and frail with white hair and big blue eyes. He was probably in his sixties by now.

  Right behind was his daughter. I felt my breath get knocked right out of me the moment I laid eyes on her. She was smoking hot, standing maybe five-feet-two, had piercing green eyes that she probably inherited from her mother and a tight, firm body I could already imagine how good it would be to have one night with her.

  Her hips swayed with every step as if she was seducing me just with her very presence, and my eyes naturally lingered on her giant tits, thanks to the revealing low neckline of her red suit. She had naturally light brown hair that accentuated the milky white tone of her skin and the red lipstick she wore.

  “Have a seat,” I offered as I kept my eyes on her. I then diverted my attention back to Joel and shook his hand, “Welcome to Bernard Realty. It’s really nice to finally do business with you, Mr. Vergara. I’m a huge fan.”

  The old man smiled as he shook my hand and took a seat, “Same here. I’m really excited about this property. I’ve been trying to get a hold of something as big and within the city limits for a good year or two now.”

  I acknowledged that with a wave and said, “So, what do you plan to do with a place that big? It’s technically an old manor but you could turn it into a commercial lot if you want.”

  He then turned to his daughter, who had been taking notes and then turned back to me, “Well, the truth is we want to build a new hospital there. If it was just me I couldn’t afford the estate but I here represent a few other investors and we’re aiming to put together what we can, ain’t that right Cherry?”

  Joel looked over at his daughter and she simply smiled back without saying a word.

  “The spot is ideal for a hospital,” I replied, hoping I could put on my business face while still getting a few chances to stare at Cherry. I opened my drawer and pulled out a map of the town, and then I pointed at the location of the property. “It’s close to a few residential neighborhoods while still standing only a few blocks away from downtown. It’s also a bigger lot than the one the local general hospital uses so you’ll have a big business advantage if you use that space for newer, better medical equipment and labs.”

  The old man considered it for a moment and then nodded, “You push a hard bargain. I like everything you’re pointing out but there is the fact that it costs millions of dollars. It’s on the cusp of what my associates and I can afford.”

  Cherry glanced at me, pulled her father in and then whispered something into his ear. The old man listened carefully and after a while, he looked at me and said, “Perhaps we can continue negotiating this. I really want to purchase it and I don’t want it to go to anyone else. If someone else bought the property, they might just use it as a mansion or build a mall.”

  “It’s likely going to be a mall if someone else gets it,” I pointed out. “Look, how about I lower the offered price if you can provide a forty percent down payment in cash and within the next two months?”

  Joel and Cherry took a moment to discuss it. I didn’t want to rush them so I sat back and patiently sipped on my drink while preparing some papers they’d have to sign if they indeed wanted to push forward with it.

  “We like the idea,” Joel then said when he turned back to me. “However, I have a few business meetings in Southeast Asia and I won’t be able to complete the transactions if they have to be dealt with so hastily. If it would be okay with you to continue this transaction with my daughter Cherry then we’re all set.”

  I looked at her one more time, hoping I could read her thoughts and emotions. She looked back at me. For a moment, I was caught by surprise but soon I noticed something. She, too, seemed to be reading me.

  For that very brief moment, our gazes locked and I felt like a river of warm summer water swirled us in together. She looked even more beautiful with each passing second.

  “I am okay with that,” I then said when I broke our gaze and turned back to Joel. “When will you leave? I’ll have these documents ready within the week.”

  “Oh, I’m leaving here by Monday morning,” he answered.

  It was late afternoon on a Thursday right now. If I hurried and got these documents processed quickly tomorrow I could get them ready by Monday.

  “That’s fine,” I told him. “I’ll have everything ready by then. If it’s okay with you, I’ll go with you to the airport this Monday, have you sign an affidavit and then spend the rest of the day with Cherry so we can go through the rest of the transaction.”

  They both nodded.

  “All right then,” I said as I took a contract and handed it to Joel. “Please just sign this contract here. This contract states that the property is currently on hold from the market for the next fifteen days. If our transaction doesn’t hit a conclusion within that period the contract expires and I’ll put the property back for sale.”

  Joel didn’t find any issues and he signed. He then signed a separate contract confirming any decisions and signatures by his daughter were done in his power. I took a copy of that as well.

  Once all the papers were signed I shook his hand and reached out to shake Cherry’s hand too, “Thank you.”

  She looked at me for a second and with a slightly nervous move, she reached forward to accept the shake. I gripped her hand and marveled at how soft it was. The mere touch of her skin on mine was turning me on.

  “Thank you too,” she finally said something out loud and damn did I feel so horny. Her voice was soft but sultry. It was like her every word was an erotic moan, like a cat purring for attention.

  I let go of her hand and gave her a soft nod, feeling a little glad knowing I would still get to spend some time with her in the next few days.

  “Well, I’ll be seeing you when I get back,” Joel said once he was done signing all the necessary papers. “Thank you so much for all the help. I really hope this transaction pushes through. I trust my daughter will do everything she can to fulfill any requirements you have.”

  “I promise, daddy,” Cherry then said.

  The way she said it sent chills up and down my spine. I wanted her to say that line to me. Ugh, I could already feel my cock getting a little stiff just from her voice.

  I opened the office door and saw them out. As they walked through the doors I bid them farewell, “Have a good weekend. I’ll see you both this Monday morning.”

  Joel continued on out, wobbling with every step, but to my delight and surprise, Cherry took a moment to pause and look back. She was shocked to see me staring back at her but instead of shying away, she merely locked her gaze once again with mine.

  I didn’t blink or look away until she finally turned back around and followed her father out of the hall.

  Cherry

  “Sweetie, please don’t forget to file the documents for the Mulberry and then to print out the stock shifts this month for Mercury Wild,” my dad called out as he headed to his room.

  It was still Friday night but he already wanted to pack his things.

  Old men have weird habits, I guess.

  “Don’t worry, daddy, I got it all covered!” I shouted back as I headed downstairs to the kitchen. I was feeling a little hungry so I took the time to make myself a ham sandwich and get a glass of orange juice.

  Once I had everything ready, I headed back upstairs to my bedroom and locked the door. Afterward
s, I changed out of my clothes and tossed my bra off to the side. To get comfortable, I decided to stick with my favorite white nightgown.

  As I sat down on the bed and turned my laptop on, I couldn’t help but once again picture Dylan Bernard in my head.

  Oh God, he’s so freaking hot.

  He was so tall – maybe around six-feet-four or so – and he was so damn handsome! Whenever I closed my eyes I could still picture his sleek dark brown hair, black eyes and the way his big body moved with every step he took. He didn’t have a bodybuilder’s figure – no, he seemed more like a practical man – but was leaner with firm muscles. He could be practicing martial arts or maybe was into extreme sports.

  The best thing about him was his stare.

  Since the moment my father and I walked into his office he gave me this stern look like he was stripping me naked. Before we left, I dared to look around and look at him and he was staring back.

  It was like looking into the eyes of a vampire. Well, a vampire I was willing to let his teeth sink deep into my neck.

  Munching down on my sandwich I turned my laptop on and began checking my email and Facebook. It was a little bit of a chore just to slog through all my friends’ posts. It was a little annoying to see all my friends posting pictures together with their boyfriends and husbands. And here I was, single and alone.

  “Dylan Bernard,” I mumbled to myself. A light bulb flashed in my head and I tried to search him up online. As expected, he didn’t have a public Facebook I could just add and message but he did have a LinkedIn profile and a Twitter account. I stalked his pages a little but instead of finding juicy pictures I only saw his posts about business deals and the like.
