Battle for Love (Bachelor Billionaire #3)

by Sharon Cummin

  “Look at me,” he commanded.

  His voice sounded so demanding yet sexy. She felt a shiver roll through her from head to toe, as she slowly looked up at him.

  “This is funny to you.”

  It was more of a statement than a question.

  “You purposely had that guy come to dinner, knowing it would piss me off. You let me sit there cringing while you leaned over repeatedly to whisper about me in his ear. Then you let me pick at you over and over, while I waited for his sorry ass to defend you. I didn't want to say that stuff to you. I just wanted him to show that he actually cared. I couldn't take it anymore. I had to get out of there, or I was going to pick him up, shake him, and then carry you out of there, kicking and screaming, over my shoulder.”

  He was going on and on about how aggravated he was, but all she could do was stare into his dark eyes and take in his sharp tone. Julie's body felt so sensitive. Every word that came out of his mouth made her hotter. She had a crush on him when she was younger, but what was going on with her in that moment was completely different. She couldn't sit still any longer. As she stood up, she could hear him still going.

  “You knew what you were doing to me the entire time. I can't believe you played me like that.”

  Julie couldn't even make out the words he was barking out as she crossed the distance between them. She stopped directly in front of him, put her arms around his neck, and pulled his mouth crashing to hers.

  “That was so damn hot,” she said, as she slid her tongue between his lips.

  Julie saw the shock in his eyes. He held one muscular hand on the back of her neck and wrapped the other around her waist. She held his soft, brown hair in her hands as they opened their mouths and wrapped their tongues together. He wrapped his hand in her hair as he tilted her head to the side and ravaged her mouth. Julie had never felt so much passion in one kiss. It was the hottest moment in her life. His lips were softer than she had imagined. She had thought about them many times. He slowly licked and sucked down her neck. His breath was warm on her skin and her body tingled. She had never remembered wanting anything as much as she wanted him. He grabbed the hem of her shirt and yanked it above her head.

  Ethan pulled back and looked at her. She saw how red his lips were from her kiss and felt soreness in hers already. He looked from her eyes to her lips and down to her white, lace bra. She heard his breath catch as he unhooked it and dropped it from her shoulders.

  “You are so beautiful,” he whispered.

  She stepped closer to him, took his hands in hers, and put them over her breasts.

  “Are you sure about this? There is no going back once you tell me this is okay. I am going to give you more pleasure than you have ever felt in your life.”

  She looked up into his eyes and smiled.

  “I have never been this sure about anything, Ethan. You have no idea.”

  He took the last step to her and kissed her neck as he rolled her pink peak in between his thumb and finger. She gasped as she arched her body into him. He trailed tiny kisses down to her breast and took her nipple into his mouth. Ethan sucked and swirled his tongue around the tip before he took it between his teeth and tugged gently. She moaned his name as she pulled his head against her harder. He showed the same attention to her other breast.

  “Ethan, please,” she gasped.

  He looked up at her and smiled as he continued the slow torture.

  “Ethan, now,” she whimpered.

  He stood up, grabbed her arms, wrapped them around his neck, lifted her legs to his waist, and kissed her hard. She wrapped her legs around him tight and held on. He walked up the stairs and down the hall. As he entered the bedroom, he laughed.

  “I knew you wanted to be in here,” he joked.

  “Shut up and kiss me,” she said with a smile.

  He walked up to the bed and dropped her as she let out a yelp. Ethan laughed as he leaned down and kissed between her breasts and down her stomach as he unbuttoned and unzipped her jeans. He opened her jeans to see matching white, lace panties and he growled. He kissed lower as he slid his tongue under the top of her tiny panties.

  “Why are you wearing these tiny panties? Were you planning on getting lucky today? If so, with who?”

  Julie laughed as he pulled off one leg of her jeans. He kissed from her ankle all the way up to her panties and stopped just before them. She let out a whimper.

  “Answer the question. Who did you plan on seeing these panties tonight?”

  “I didn't plan on anyone seeing them. They make me feel pretty. Plus,” she said with a grin. “You never know.”

  He let out a growl and pulled off her other pant leg and threw them on the floor.

  “That shit's not funny. If you don't stop, I am going to take you over my knee and show you how to behave.”

  Julie knew that her cheeks flushed instantly. She had no idea why his words sounded so good to her. It was not like her to flirt. Usually, she was pretty quiet with a man. She had only been with two men, but everything felt different with Ethan. The way his eyes darkened when he didn't like what she was saying and the passion she felt in his touch, brought out something in her she had never felt before.

  “Is that a promise or a threat?” she asked.

  He was kissing up her thigh when she felt his groan vibrate off of her skin. Ethan stood above her and let his eyes roam from her head to her feet.

  “It's a promise,” he snapped, as he brought his mouth down on hers.

  “You taste so amazing and smell so damn good,” she said, as she sniffed in his manly scent.

  “You're killing me here. If you had any idea what you were doing to me,” he said.

  “I would keep going,” she said with a smirk.

  She reached down between them and grabbed his cock through his jeans.

  “These jeans make your ass look amazing,” she said, as she buried her face in his neck.

  “Good to know.”

  Julie massaged his very hard, large cock through his pants. She felt his body shake against her arm. He let out a loud moan, pushed off of her, reached down, and in one fast move ripped her panties from her. She gasped as she felt the cool air hit her.

  “Those were my favorite pair,” she said through ragged breaths.

  “Now they're mine.”

  She saw his eyes shift from her eyes and down her stomach. His breath caught when he stopped at what he had just uncovered.

  “You are so sexy, Julie,” he said softly.

  How did he change from harsh to soft so quickly, she wondered? Both sides of him were amazing. She had no idea being with Ethan would be so passionate or powerful. He leaned down and kissed her, before he ran his fingertips over her breasts and stomach, stopping at her thighs. Ethan grabbed behind her knees, pulled her to the edge of the bed, and was on his knees in seconds. She felt herself take a huge breath in and release as she watched him. He looked at her different than he ever had before. There was emotion filling his dark eyes. He leaned down, making sure not to break eye contact with her, and flicked his tongue across her pussy.

  “You're so wet and warm. I could stay here all night long.”

  She arched her back as he licked up and down her. Her hips thrust toward his face. She heard a slight laugh escape his lips. He pulled her legs up and over his shoulders so he could get better access to her. She felt his hand come up between them as he ran his fingers across the path his tongue had just taken before he circled her clit. She felt her eyes close as she moaned and bucked against him.

  “Please, Ethan,” she groaned.

  The words she was thinking were stuck in her head. She could not seem to get them to come out of her mouth. Just when she thought she couldn't take anymore, his finger entered her. He worked her like magic. She was in heaven and never wanted it to end. He worked his finger inside of her, hitting places she didn't know even existed. The entire time he licked and sucked her, as he played with her. It was absolutely amazing. She felt like littl
e surges of electricity were firing off inside of her everywhere. It was like nothing she had ever experienced before. Each moan that came from her mixed with the next. She was so close to the edge when she heard his voice.

  “Look at me,” he commanded deeply.

  She fought to open her eyes and focus on his. He was so sexy. She wanted to kiss him and never let him go. He continued to take her closer to her breaking point. She felt like her body was going to explode into a million pieces when he spoke again.

  “Come for me baby, now.”

  Instantly, her body fired off over and over. She could not believe his words had done that to her. It was the most intense orgasm of her life. Her head fell back onto the bed as she rode it out. He kept working her body as she continued coming. When her breathing finally began to slow, she felt like every bit of her energy was gone. He crawled up the bed and pulled her next to him.

  “Are you okay?” he asked.

  She could hear the smirk on his face in his voice. There was no need to even look. All she could do was smile.

  “That was amazing.”

  He pulled her closer to him.

  “I'm not done with you yet,” he said, as he covered her mouth with his.

  “Oh really?”

  She reached down between them and grabbed the hem of his t-shirt. Julie couldn't wait to see the sexiness under his shirt. It had been a long time since she had seen his bare chest, and she knew he had gotten better with time. Taking a deep breath, she pulled it upward. He moved his body so she could get it over his head. She pulled back from his kiss, and he looked at her with concern.

  “Are you okay?” he asked, for the second time in minutes.

  “I want to get a good look at you. It's been a long time since I've seen what you're made of,” she teased and winked.

  “So you used to pay attention then?” he asked.

  “Maybe just a little bit.”

  She ran her hands up and down his hard chest and chiseled abs. They were perfect. How did he have time to look like that and run his company?

  “Do you know how good you look? You are so unbelievably hot.”

  “I'm glad you approve,” he joked.

  She ran her fingers down his abs to the waist of his jeans. Julie undid the button and pushed the zipper down.

  “Off, now,” she snapped.

  He stood up, pushed his pants to the ground, and smirked as he let his boxers fall. Her eyes widened, and she felt her body tense.

  “You're,” she started, as she collected her thoughts. “Wow.”

  He crawled slowly up her body with a cocky look on his face. She was so nervous. He was so much bigger than she thought he would be. Julie had not had much experience sexually, but she didn't want to tell him. He made fun of her enough, and she wasn't positive that he wouldn't tease her if she told him. As he made his way up her he smiled.

  “I won't break you. I'll be gentle,” he whispered into her ear before he licked it.

  A shiver ran through her shoulders. She was soaking wet all over again. His reassuring words so softly in her ear sent her soaring high. How was he the same man she had known all those years? She hadn't even heard him open the package, but she could feel his covered length against her opening. He took her hands and held them above her head.

  “Keep your hands up there,” he demanded.

  “Or what?”

  “I'll cuff them if I need to,” he said in a harsh tone.

  “No way. Don't even joke about that.”

  He must have felt her tense against him, because he immediately eased her mind.

  “Okay, I won't. I'm sorry. Just keep them above your head.”

  She knew by the look in his eyes, she would be avoiding questions later.

  “Are you going to leave them where I asked you?” he asked.

  “Yes”

  “Good,” he said, as he brushed his hand down her arm and side.

  She felt like her skin was on fire in every spot his fingers touched on the way down. He moved her legs apart with his knee as his hand slid under her ass and he inched himself into her. She loved the way he made her feel. He was so dominating but so loving at the same time. She enjoyed how hard his voice was when he was telling her how he wanted her, but equally enjoyed his soft whispers and caring tone. She arched her back as he slid himself into her a little more.

  “Fuck, Julie. You're so damn tight. I can't even tell you how good it feels to have you wrapped around my cock,” he said.

  “More, Ethan. I need more of you,” she moaned into his ear.

  He thrust himself deeper into her. She wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled him closer. Her hands moved to touch him. Before she even made contact, he had her hands in his and held them above her head.

  “I said, keep your hands above your head woman. Do you ever listen?”

  “I want to touch you. I want to feel your skin against my fingers. I want all of you.”

  He threw his head back as he pumped hard into her. Ethan hovered over her as he kissed her lips, neck, and breasts. She could see his muscles tighten and relax with each thrust. Watching him move in and out of her turned her on even more. She loved the feeling of his cock buried deep inside of her.

  “You are so hot. I see the passion in your eyes as you watch me slide into you. I want to stay buried deep inside of you all night long. I don't think I could ever get enough of you.”

  She arched her back into him hard as her breathing grew faster. Julie's eyes closed as she soaked up every bit he gave her. She gasped and bit her bottom lip as he thrust into her harder and faster.

  “I need to touch you. Please, Ethan let me touch you,” she begged.

  Julie didn't care how it sounded. She would beg all he wanted, if he would let her run her hands along his skin. She needed him in her arms so badly.

  “You want to touch me?” he asked. “Do you want to run your hands across my hot skin? Do you want to feel the sweat on my skin from what you do to me?”

  “Yes, I need to touch you more than I need anything else right now. I want to run my fingers down your chest and feel your muscles tighten as you fuck me. I need to run my hands down your back as you bury your cock deeper into me.”

  Julie was surprised as she heard the words leave her mouth. She felt as if they were coming from someone else. What was he doing to her? He let go of her arms, and she clutched his back in her grip as she rocked her hips into him hard.

  “Shit, Julie. You fucking rock my world. Do you hear me? I want you so bad. I want to feel you come around me. I want to feel you release while you scream out my name. You're mine. Do you hear me? Mine.”

  His hips crushed into hers as his breathing grew just as deep as hers. She felt her hands grip his back as his hands help her hips so tight. It was as if they would never touch each other again, the way they were taking everything the other offered and more.

  “I want to hear you scream my name. I want you to know who does this to you, who makes you feel this way. I want everyone to know your fucking mine. Now, Julie,” he demanded.

  As he thrust into her as hard and deep as he could, she screamed his name over and over as she came harder than she ever thought possible. She felt herself clench around his cock. With his face buried in her neck, he thrust into her one last time, as he moaned her name with his own release. His body relaxed onto hers. She felt his heart racing against hers as their sweat combined. Julie stayed completely still as he caught his breath.

  When she felt both of their breathing even out, he rolled off of her and onto his back.

  “You are incredible,” he said.

  He got out of bed and walked into his master bathroom. She looked up and saw the moon shining in the closed balcony door. How had she missed a balcony when she was in the room earlier? His home really was beautiful. Maybe there was more to Ethan than everyone gave him credit for. She rolled onto her side as she thought about him. Julie never knew sex could be anything like what she had just experienced
with him. She heard the door close and felt him crawl in behind her. He snuggled close with his arm around her. She didn't want the moment to end. He brushed his hand through her hair and kissed the back of her head. She realized that he thought she was asleep, so she made sure to not give herself away.

  “There's something you're not telling me. I'm going to find out what it is,” he whispered.

  Oh shit, she thought.

  “Thank you for caring enough to go to the bar tonight. You have no idea what that means to me. Sleep well sweetheart.”

  Julie heard a beeping sound. She opened her eyes and looked around. It took a moment for her to feel the arm over her side and realize where she was. She looked to the side to see the clock on the nightstand say five o'clock. Oh crap, she had fallen asleep. It was real. She was really with Ethan. It wasn't a dream. She had dreamt about him many times, but none of them were even close to what had really happened. The beep happened again. She carefully slid out from under his arm. As she went to walk past the bottom of the bed, she heard the beep on the floor in his jeans. She bent down and grabbed his phone from his pocket and walked into his bathroom. Julie closed the door before she turned on the light so she wouldn't wake him up. She had to stop that pain in the ass sound. Her finger pushed the button at the top of the phone and she saw a portion of a text on the screen. She knew it was none of her business, but she couldn't stop herself after seeing what she had just seen. Julie swiped across the screen and gasped as she read it.

  “Hey baby, where are you? You were supposed to be here two hours ago. I miss you. I need you. Call me as soon as you get this. I'm worried about you.”

  Julie shut the phone off and looked down at it. She felt tears fill her eyes as she tried to push them back. It was a huge mistake. She had made one of the worst mistakes of her life. What the hell was she thinking? How could she have let that happen? He was good. She had been played. Gavin was going to kill her when he found out they had been together. Get out of his house, she thought to herself. Hurry up and get out. How could she have let herself think that there was anything between her and Ethan? What had she done?

  She left the bathroom door open a tiny bit while she looked for her clothes. Once she collected them all, she put his phone on his nightstand, turned off the bathroom light, and used her phone light to get out of his room and down the stairs. In his front hallway, she got dressed as quickly as she could. She felt like she was going to pass out and needed to get out into the cool air. Once she was in her car and on her way, she let the tears fall from her eyes. What the hell was she thinking? She knew better than to trust a man. Julie had learned her lesson a long time ago, or at least she thought she did. That would definitely never happen again.
