you mean? There’s more expensive than this?”
“Yup. I was trying to get my hands on a few cases of the Moët & Chandon Dom Perignon Charles & Diana 1961 when they did a re-release, but it was impossible to get. Even at four thousand three hundred dollars per bottle they were sold out in a flash.”
I stare at him, incredulous about what he’s just shared. I can’t even start to imagine spending this much on champagne.
“Well, in that case, I’ll make sure to enjoy and appreciate every drop.” I finish off my glass.
He bursts out laughing at my expression. “I’ve worked hard for this money, Sofia. I’m not one of those rich kids who had a silver spoon in his mouth and a billion-dollar company handed to him when he turned twenty-one. I’ve shared with you my many failures and I’ve struggled a lot to get to this point, but I’ve finally arrived and I make sure to enjoy my billions.”
I can’t blame him. If I had his level of success and I worked for it, I’d also gladly enjoy it.
“My mentor told me no matter how much you earn, always give back. I’ve taken his advice to heart and I’ve always given back to projects that enrich people’s lives. I know what it means to go without and now I can help people who were born in countries where clean water is still a luxury.”
A billionaire with a heart. He sounds so incredibly sexy right now.
“The more I know you, the more you impress me.”
“I didn’t share my story to impress you, Sofia. I shared this part of me with you because I don’t make excuses for having money and I don’t make excuses for lavishing the people I love with the best this world has to offer.” He reaches out to caress my cheek as he leans in closer.
My lips part at the force of his kiss. I taste the sweetness of the champagne on his lips.
“You looked way too sexy for a meeting this morning,” he says, parting from my lips to gaze into my eyes.
“Technically, I didn’t know I’d be having a meeting with you and your team. I threw on that jade dress to have breakfast with my sister—not for a briefing at your office. Had I known I’d be summoned, I would have had the decency to wear a bra.” I fully expect a reaction from him.
He coughs. “You weren’t wearing a bra?” He narrows his blue eyes before raising his eyebrows as he sizes me up. He smiles as he combs back his thick head of hair with his masculine hands.
“No. I usually don’t because the pleated front panel hides everything, even when I get excited or cold and my nipples start protruding through the fabric.” I grin.
“You’re a bad girl for toying with me like this, Sofia.”
“What?” I ask in an innocent voice. “You’re the one who started this.”
“You’re right, and I’ll make sure to finish you off nicely.” His eyes flash dangerously as he pulls me near him.
“So are you going to fuck me slow or hard and fast tonight?”
He doesn’t bother answering. He stands up, pulls me out of my chair and yanks me over his shoulder. I feel like such a lightweight when he lifts me up so effortlessly like this. He crosses his penthouse in the direction of his bedroom.
“I thought we weren’t going to make it to the bedroom,” I say provocatively.
“Hush, woman. I’m reserving my strength to fuck you hard for being so cocky tonight.” He punctuates his sentence by slapping my ass.
When we arrive in his room, I fully expect he’ll throw my body down on the mattress and pounce on me like a tiger, but instead he delicately drops me on my feet.
“That’s it?” I dare to ask.
He grabs me by the back of my neck, forcing me close to his body. His erection presses against my body, hard and ready, and he wraps his arms around my shoulders. He slowly peels off my t-shirt before unhooking my matching yellow bra, allowing my erect nipples some relief.
“Ahhh,” I moan, as he squeezes my nipples with his fingers.
He drums his fingers down my stomach before sliding his hands
