The Deal : Billionaire Romance by Rose Cody Read Free Book Online Page A

Kurt had a nice body, it was obvious even through his suits that he took very good care of himself, which always sort of surprised her. You have all the money in the world and could get any woman you wanted no matter what you looked like, so why not let yourself go a little?
     
    “Hey!” He calls to her, swimming over to the edge of the pool. “Come in.”
     
    “No!” She says, sitting up, straddling the chair, one leg on either side of the long seat. “
     
    “You’ll have fun!” He says, lifting himself out of the water and sitting on the edge of the pool before he gets up to his feet.
     
      He walks over to her, standing tall beside her chair and blocking out her sun.
     
    “I was having fun before.” She says, looking up at him.
     
    “Come on…” He begs, reaching for her hand.
     
      She smirks, letting out a soft giggle as she pulls it away, shaking her head and laying back down on her chair before reaching over for her drink.
     
      He raises his eyebrow, wrapping his fingers around her glass before pulling it out of her hand.
     
    “Hey!” She says. “Give that back!”
     
      He shakes his head, leaning over her to place it back on the table before grabbing her hand and pulling her up.
     
    “No…” She says, shaking her head as Kurtis pulls her to her feet.
     
      She watches, her eyes widening as he nods his head up and down before pulling her close and swiftly bending down to grab her behind her knees.
     
    “Kurt! No!” She says, struggling to break free from his grip as he lifts her into the air. “Don’t even think about it, Kurt!”
     
    “Stop!” She shouts, as she looks over her shoulder at the pool as every step Kurtis takes brings her closer to the water. “Don’t you dare!”
     
      She screams as she feels him let go of her, dropping her down into the ice cold pool before jumping in after her.
     
      She gasps as she comes back to the surface, her entire body trembling as she swims back over to the edge of the pool.
     
    “You asshole!” She says, her anger quickly turning to a giggle as she hears Kurtis and his nephew laugh as they swim to the other side of the pool.
     
    “If you want get some revenge, Aunt Robin, you have to come in after us!” She hears the little one shout as he climbs onto his uncle’s shoulders.
     
      She smirks, kicking her feet in the water.
     
    “It’s two against one, that’s not fair!” She says, climbing out of the pool. “But thanks for cooling me off!”

Chapter 12
     
     
      Robin follows closely behind Kurtis as they walk through the resort’s lobby before stepping out the large front door into the evening air.
     
    The two walk down the long drive along the sidewalk beside the lush, neatly manicured grass as they make their way to one of the restaurants on the other side of the resort.
     
    “Sorry your mom couldn’t come.” Robin says, sinking her hands inside of the pockets of her light sweater.
     
    “She’s just not feeling too well.” He says, biting the inside of his lip as he looks down at the sidewalk. “Maybe she’ll be up for lunch tomorrow.”
     
    “Or after supper we can take her some dessert.” Robin suggests, shrugging her shoulders.
     
    “Nah.” He says, sighing out as he looks up at the sky. “We should let her sleep. It was probably a mistake to make her travel all the way here. I honestly don’t know what I was thinking.”
     
    “I think she’s just happy to see you.” Robin says, her voice being drowned out by the music coming out of the speakers perched up on the side of the building as Kurtis reaches in front of her to grab the door.
     
      He smiles, nodding his head as he steps aside, letting Robin into the restaurant, the spicy smells hitting her nose as Kurtis brushes against her back.
     
    “For two, please.” He says, resting one of his hands on her shoulder as he lifts up two fingers on the other to the hostess.
     
      She nods, taking them to small table in the
