Her Billionaire Secret Part 2: An Alpha Billionaire Romance by Jenna Chase, Elise Kelby Read Free Book Online Page A

naked body danced before her eyes. The memory of his voice and the way he said her name, crept under her defences. Even taking a shower reminded her of him when she grabbed the wrong shower gel and surrounded herself with his spicy citrus smell. Grabbing another expensive looking container, she scrubbed herself clean with the aroma of roses.
    Great! Now she smelled like a damned flower bed!

    TEVIS
    As soon as Claire disappeared into the bathroom, Tevis sprang out of bed and scooped up her torn panties. He grinned. As much as he enjoyed teasing her, it wasn’t fair to leave the evidence of her submission lying on the floor.
    Unless they spoke to her, Josie always ignored the women in his bed. Today she’d winked and given him a grin at the sight of Claire draped across him. 
    Grabbing his own discarded clothes next, he threw them in the laundry basket in the dressing room. It wasn’t a habit of his to drop his clothes on the floor. But there again, it wasn’t normal for him to have to work at seduction. Most women dropped their panties for him in the blink of an eye. Claire’s look of horror had been enough to drive him on. He’d paraded his erection like a teenager.
    It had worked.
    She’d asked to be fucked.
    No, not asked. She’d demanded.
    Which this morning made her embarrassment and annoyance all the more endearing. If she thought she was safe from him, she’d have to think again. He wanted more of her. Now he’d had a taste, he couldn’t give her up. He would leave her alone for now, give her time with her thoughts. Grabbing a fresh robe, he strode out of the dressing room and across the bedroom. Grinning at the closed bathroom door, he left to go to his gym on the next floor down. He’d shower there. Alone, this time.
    You have thirty minutes, Claire. And then the game continues.

    CLAIRE
    When she walked out of the bathroom wearing the better covering towelling robe, Claire found herself facing Tevis. Alongside him stood an older woman who smiled broadly at her.
    Tevis was now dressed, making Claire feel at a disadvantage as he walked over and put his arm around her to introduce her. To make it worse, the woman was immaculate in a well-tailored suit.
    “Christine, this is Claire.”
    Before she could move her head away he dropped a kiss on her lips and gave her an affectionate squeeze. He was so convincing she had to remind herself this was a show for his personal shopper.
    Smiling, Christine held her hand out to Claire. “I’m so pleased to meet you.”
    Why? I’m not going to be around for long.
    “It’s good to meet you too,” she responded politely, clasping the woman’s hand. “I’ll pop into the dressing room and put some clothes on.”
    “No, darling. It’s fine,” Tevis interrupted. "I’ll get you a chair.”
    Claire frowned as he dragged not one but two easy chairs to the centre of the room. After seating her in the first, he took the other.
    “Are you planning on staying?” Claire almost snatched her hand away as he took hers because his touch was doing strange things to her skin. Sparking electrifying tingles and they were finding their way to between her legs.
    He looked at her as if he knew precisely what she was feeling and compounded the pleasure by stroking her hand with his thumb. For some reason, now she didn’t want him to let go.
    “I wouldn’t miss this for the world,” Tevis smiled back. “Josie is bringing us coffee and breakfast to eat while Christine shows us what she’s selected.”
    Behind Christine, on the recently made-up bed, were more store bags and boxes than she’d ever seen in one place before. She glanced at Tevis, they couldn’t all be for her. He was studiously ignoring her, but his thumb was now stroking her wrist.
    Stop it.
    No, don’t stop.
    She opened her mouth to try and say something. Whether it was about the number of bags, or t0 tell him to remove his hand, she didn’t know. She simply closed it again and turned back to
