HIS BOUND BRIDE: A Bad Boy Billionaire Romance

by Sophia Gray

  “Help?” I frowned. “What’s wrong?”

  Enzo chuckled as he lowered himself down next to me on the couch. His condo was beautiful, and just like I’d imagined, it was all glass, leather, and chrome. The furniture was black leather. In the kitchen, I’d briefly glimpsed stainless steel and chrome appliances with a silver-tiled floor. It looked chic and modern, but almost like a model home. Aside from his pair of leather loafers at the door, there was hardly a sign that anyone lived here.

  “Audrey, you should look into moving someplace nicer,” Enzo said. He leaned back on the couch and took a long sip of wine. “That neighborhood is dangerous.” He raised his eyebrows. “And think about getting a new wardrobe, too.”

  I glanced down at the jumper and turtleneck I was wearing. “This is fine,” I said with a shrug. “I mean, they’re just clothes.”

  Enzo inched closer, and a wave of lust washed over my body. “Audrey, that may be the truth, but in my industry, at LennoxCo, people judge you based on your appearance. For me, I know that I have to look professional all the time. And technically that would extend to you as well. You’re my secretary. People are going to think of me based on what you look like.”

  I blushed. I’d never thought about that before, but I didn’t think he was wrong exactly. Still, it was embarrassing to know that the man I was becoming obsessed with found my clothes ugly. I knew that I wasn’t exactly fashionable by any stretch of the imagination. But usually, I didn’t think I looked that bad.

  “Audrey.” Enzo spoke my name as a command. “Come with me.” He stood up from the couch and walked down the hallway, into a room opposite from the kitchen. I swallowed hard and trotted after him, the heels of my shoes clicking on his unfamiliar floor.

  “What is this room?” I stepped inside and glanced around. What I saw shocked me. There was an open wardrobe bigger than my closet at home filled with women’s clothing. There was everything I could think of: dresses, blouses, jeans, skirts, even shoes and handbags at the bottom. All of it looked brand new. There were even price tags dangling from some of the garments that Enzo had pulled into his arms.

  “Strip,” Enzo said softly. He stepped closer and put a hand on the back of my neck. Nervously, I took a sip of my wine before setting the glass down on a small table.

  “What is all of this?” I stepped closer, gazing at the clothes in wonder. I’d never seen anything like this before. I had never shopped in a department store; I bought most of my stuff secondhand or at discount shops. But this was a level of luxury that I’d never even imagined. “Is this for me?”

  “It is my most fervent hope that you’ll wear some of it,” Enzo said. He didn’t smile as his fingers gripped my shoulder. “I believe I told you to strip.”

  I shivered at the feeling of Enzo’s fingernails on the back of my neck. “Yes, sir,” I replied automatically. Suddenly, the air between us was tense and full of lust. I wondered what he would do when I was naked. Would he touch me? Try to seduce me again?

  I licked my lips and unfastened the big buttons on each shoulder holding my jumper in place. Then I pulled the jumper over my head and tossed it on the floor until I was standing in front of Enzo clad in my turtleneck sweater and baggy leggings. The air in the room was chilly, and I crossed my arms over my chest and hugged myself as Enzo reached forward and yanked my leggings down. Goosebumps sprang up over my flesh, and I stepped out of the material.

  “That, too,” Enzo said. He plucked at the cotton of my turtleneck. “Take it off, Audrey.” His voice was low and deathly calm. I closed my eyes, pulling the shirt over my head and feeling it tug my ponytail upwards.

  When I was standing in only a bra and panties, Enzo walked around me in a circle. “Strip,” he repeated, reaching out and gently spanking my ass.

  My cheeks turned crimson as a bolt of desire and pleasure went through me. It scared me how much I’d liked it when he spanked me just now. I wondered if he was going to do that again later. I want him to! I thought desperately. I really do!

  Licking my lips nervously, I reached behind myself and unfastened my bra. It was an older one—the white material was yellow with age–and I let it drop to the floor. As I closed my eyes, I hooked my fingers on the waistband of my panties and tugged them down my legs before kicking them to the side.

  When I opened my eyes, Enzo was staring at my chest. I glanced down to see my hard nipples protruding, and a wave of self-consciousness washed over my body.

  “Very nice,” Enzo purred out. “Now stay there.”

  I swallowed and watched helplessly as he stalked across the room. Enzo opened a set of drawers adjacent to the wardrobe and pulled out something dark green and silky. When he walked back over to me, he handed me a silk thong of a brilliant turquoise and a matching bra.

  “Put these on,” Enzo instructed.

  I bobbed my head and fumbled with the clasp on the bra. Even though it was silk, it wasn’t all that comfortable—it pushed my breasts high in the air and pinched at my rib cage. I’d never worn a thong before either, and I was surprised at the feeling of the material on my labia. It cradled my pussy in a sensual way that made me think of Enzo’s touch. As I took a step forward, the silk twisted between the cheeks of my ass and sent a tingling sensation straight to my clit. My cheeks broke out in a blush as I let out a little gasp.

  “I was mostly right about your size,” Enzo said in a lazy, low voice. He walked around me once more, inspecting me. “Those will do nicely. Come with me, Audrey.”

  I glanced at the open doors of the wardrobe. “What about the other clothes?” I crossed my arms over my chest, conscious of my breasts sticking up in the air. “Shouldn’t I get dressed?”

  Enzo raised his eyebrows. “Why, Audrey? There’s no one here save for Pepper and me. Surely she’s seen you naked before.”

  I blushed and looked away. “Yes,” I mumbled in reply. “She has.”

  Enzo smirked at me, and I felt another strong thrust of desire towards him. I licked my lips and stepped forward. Each step wearing the silk thong was torturous, almost like Enzo himself was rubbing between my legs.

  “Trouble?” Enzo raised his eyebrow.

  “No,” I managed to say clearly. “I’m fine.”

  “Good.” Enzo winked at me. “Let’s go have some dessert.”

  Ten minutes later, we were standing in Enzo’s kitchen. Pepper lay on the floor, contentedly snoozing after Enzo had given her a ham bone.

  “Come here, Audrey.”

  I stepped closer. Enzo opened one half of the giant refrigerator/freezer and took out a carton of gelato. He turned to me. “Do you like caramel?”

  I nodded. I wasn’t hungry, but the air was so full of tension that it almost hurt. Enzo plucked a silver spoon out of a drawer and took the top off the carton of the ice cream.

  “Come closer,” Enzo said. His face was the perfect mask of a sex god. Trembling, I stepped nearer to him, feeling the chill from the empty room on my limbs. It felt delicious, like I was experiencing a whole new world of sensuality.

  I watched as Enzo dipped the spoon into the gelato and lifted it to my mouth. When I reached out to take it from him, he shook his head. “No,” Enzo said simply. “You will eat when I offer food to you.”

  Blushing, I obediently opened my mouth. Enzo let the spoon rest on my tongue. The creamy taste of caramel melted on my tongue and dripped down it, rich and smooth as butter. I moaned softly as I swallowed. It was the most exquisite thing I’d ever tasted, aside from Enzo.

  “Do you like that?”

  I swallowed and licked my lips. “Yes, sir.”

  Enzo nodded. He reached behind my head and gently tugged the elastic out of my hair. When I felt it drape over my shoulders, I shivered. Enzo’s hand gripped my shoulder. He began to gently massage me with his fingers until I was putty in his hands, melting and sliding all over the place.

  Enzo grinned. I felt a fluttery sensation in my lower belly as he squeezed my neck. “You’re so sexy, especially like
this,” Enzo murmured. Instinctively, I let my body be pulled closer to his. “I love it when you look like this.”

  I swallowed hard. “Thank you.”

  Enzo put his other hand on my shoulder and traced his fingers down my back. As I stepped closer, he took his free hand and tilted my chin up so that I could look into his eyes. It felt sexy and sensual to be standing so close to him in a state of undress, with him still wearing his full suit from work. I felt like I was on display just for him, like somehow, he’d chosen me out of a city full of beautiful women.

  Enzo’s light gray eyes sent shivers of arousal through my body. “Audrey,” he said in a husky voice.

  I closed my eyes and leaned forward, closing the remaining distance between our bodies. Our lips pressed together, and sparks flew between our bodies. My stomach melted and my heart started pounding as the kiss became more intense with each passing second. As Enzo wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close, he nuzzled me and tenderly slipped his tongue into my mouth.

  My breasts were pushing against his chest, and the feeling of the silk against my nipples was almost too much to bear. As Enzo squeezed the bare cheeks of my ass, I felt my skin go hot with a sensual flush. Moaning, I arched my back and threw my head back until the ends of my hair were brushing against the small of my back.

  Enzo grabbed my wrists. “Come to bed,” he ordered in a low voice.

  My mouth was so thick with desire that I could barely speak. “Yes, sir,” I whispered softly.

  Enzo led me down the same hallway but into a different room this time. The whole room was black. The walls were covered with leather wallpaper and the floor with a thick shag carpeting that my feet sank into as I stepped inside. Even the ceiling was black. All of the light fixtures were black and chrome, giving an eerie, sleek look to the room.

  “Get on the bed,” Enzo ordered. He wasn’t smiling.

  I moved forward and climbed onto the bed. The comforter was silky soft and plush down feathers. I moaned softly as I got on all fours and let my hands and knees sink into the soft material. My whole body was alive, every cell tingling and craving Enzo’s touch. I closed my eyes as I heard him step closer.

  “I’m going to touch you now,” Enzo said with a low growl.

  I whimpered as I felt his fingers tangling in my hair and yanking my head back. As he ran his nails down my back and squeezed my ass, I shivered with lust and delight. When Enzo’s fingers gently rubbed the silk material between the cheeks of my ass, I squirmed. There was a pause, and then a short, hard slap sounded on my ass.

  “Don’t move again,” Enzo threatened. “Or I’ll spank you until your ass is so sore you won’t be able to sit for a week.”

  Even though I didn’t want him to do that, my clit tingled at his words. I loved Enzo’s hands on me, his rough touch, the way he made my whole body sing with pleasure and desire. I closed my eyes and resolved not to squirm when he touched me again.

  It was harder than I anticipated. As Enzo’s hands worked all over my body, I shuddered as his fingers grazed my clit through the silken material of my panties. I bit my lip to keep from moaning as he slipped gently inside the crotch and began rubbing me. I was already soaked and when I wiggled my hips slightly, the fabric strained against my pussy and my ass. My whole body was tingling and thumping with arousal by the time he took his hand away.

  “I need you,” Enzo said in a husky voice. I heard the soft swish of him tearing his clothes off and tossing them to the floor. The bed groaned under our combined weight as he crawled towards me and pulled me into his warm, muscular arms.

  Enzo smelled heavenly. I closed my eyes and inhaled as he pressed his lips against mine. His chest was smooth, muscled, and it sent shivers of lust through me as we touched. As we kissed, Enzo reached behind my back and neatly unclasped the uncomfortable silk bra. He tossed it to the floor, and I moaned into his mouth, grateful and relieved to feel my breasts swinging loose.

  “Ride me,” Enzo commanded. He got onto his back and stroked his cock up and down, watching me with an evil gleam of lust in his eye.

  I gasped at the sight of him naked—he was so beautiful; I couldn’t stand it. Just seeing him was enough to make me want to come, and I couldn’t tear the silky panties away from my pussy fast enough. Nervously, I crawled towards Enzo.

  He grabbed my hips and pulled me on top of him, spreading my legs and thrusting upward until his cock buried itself in the warmth and wetness of my pussy. The sensation was incredible. I let out a yelp, then closed my eyes and savored the feeling all over my body.

  As Enzo grabbed my hips and shoved me back and forth on his cock, I moaned. His pubic bone kept rubbing against my clit with every thrust, and I could barely even breathe. The sensation that was building in my lower belly was amazing—like before, when Enzo was going down on me, but better.

  I closed my eyes and ground my hips hard against his muscular body until tears came to my eyes. Beneath me, Enzo was groaning and straining every muscle until he was tense and stiff. His cock filled me so completely that I couldn’t move. I couldn’t think of anything but fucking him: it was all I wanted to do, forever.

  Enzo grabbed my wrists in one of his strong hands and pulled my arms over my head until I was lying flat against him, my nipples rubbing his chest. Every cell of my body was stimulated, everything felt so incredibly good that I didn’t couldn’t handle it. As we moved together, Enzo’s other hand began to roam around my ass. First, he squeezed my cheeks, then slipped a finger between the globes.

  “Someday, Audrey, I’m going to fuck you in the ass,” Enzo whispered into my ear.

  An electric thrill went through me at the sound of his words, and his cock plunged deeper inside my pussy than ever before. The sensation was astonishing, and I held my breath as it grew and grew, feeling like something was gripping me strongly between the legs. Before I knew it, I was crying out and beating my fists against the headboard, coming so hard that tears were leaking down my cheeks. My reaction set Enzo off, and he grabbed me and thrust up inside me harder than ever, bucking and groaning like a prize stallion beneath me.

  When it was over, Enzo gently pushed me to the side. He lay on his back, staring straight at the ceiling. “All of those clothes are yours,” he murmured. “I bought them all for you.”

  I gaped at him. “Enzo, what am I gonna do with all that stuff?”

  He chuckled. “You’ll find a way to use it all, I’m sure. I mean, you’re a woman. You love clothes, right?”

  I frowned, rolling onto my side and staring at the wall. That was just the thing—even though I felt like a real woman with Enzo, I still worried about not being the kind of woman that he’d want to spend the rest of his life with. There was nothing special about me; I was just plain Audrey Turner, twenty-two years old and a tiny mouse in one of the world’s biggest cities.

  “Thanks,” I said reluctantly.

  Enzo didn’t reply. When I rolled back over, I saw that he’d fallen asleep.

  Chapter Seventeen

  I couldn’t sleep. I lay next to Enzo in his silken bed with the lights out, marveling at how much quieter it was up here on the thirty-fifth floor. Back in my apartment in Pilsen, I felt like I was practically outside.

  I couldn’t relax. Even though we’d just had amazing sex following an almost-equally amazing meal, something was ticking like mad inside my brain. No matter what I did, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t quite manage to turn it off.

  Finally, I slipped out of bed. There was a turquoise silk kimono-style robe on my side of the bed, and I figured that it was meant for me. Slipping it on made me feel glamorous, but I quickly realized how impractical the silk was: the sleeves slipped past my hands and buried them, making me feel like a kid playing dress-up in her mom’s clothes. The material felt good against my naked skin, though, and I belted it closely as I padded out to the kitchen.

  All of the lights in Enzo’s condo had been turned out, and I watched in silent awe as the skyline flickered. It
was still pitch-black outside, and Pepper was snoring soundly on the floor of the kitchen, but even seeing her didn’t make me feel confident and better about what had just happened.

  It was impossible to relax or feel like I was at home. After all, I barely even knew Enzo. I had no idea what kind of guy he was. Besides salad and lamb, I had no idea what he even liked to eat. The gelato from earlier was still opened, and the spoon rested on the shiny counter, leaving a sticky puddle behind as I placed it in the sink. There was no sponge or roll of paper towels, or anything even resembling cleaning supplies. I gulped and turned back towards the incredible view from the living room.

  Pepper must have sensed my presence; she got up and padded over to me, gently whining and pushing her head against my legs.

  “I bet you’re thirsty, huh?” I rubbed her ears and started digging around in Enzo’s cabinets for a bowl to use for her water dish. The contents were as meticulous as I would expect: everything facing the front, all utensils grouped together, everything looking as neat and orderly as a model home. Like Enzo didn’t even live here.
