Going Down Fast (Billionaire Bad Boys 2)

God, he was hot.

“Hi,” she said, her voice hoarse.

“Hi.” His gaze slid down her body, his stare focused on the words on her shirt: Let’s kill all the lawyers. “Shakespeare. Cute.”

She blushed. “I wasn’t expecting company.”

His grin turned to a frown. “You weren’t?”

“Umm, no.”

“So you thought after committing to wanting to… have sex, you were going to sleep alone.”

She blinked in surprise. “Well, I didn’t think we’d be sleeping together.”

He let out a long-suffering sigh. “Well, if I’m going to be in an exclusive sexual relationship, I definitely want to enjoy the perks of that.”

She frowned at his stark reference to how he’d decided to define their situation. At least he hadn’t called them fuck buddies, she thought irritably, knowing she deserved it but not liking the feeling anyway.

“So? Your room or mine?” he asked too cheerfully. “Yours is nice, but I should mention that I have a king-size bed.”

She leaned on the doorframe. “You’re welcome to sleep in your large bed by yourself.”

“Really?” he asked, not even looking wounded. “Because I think having you in it would be so much more fun. Your bed or mine? Decide. One… two… three.”

When she didn’t immediately respond, he bent and picked her up, hefting her over his shoulder, holding her still with one hand on her barely covered backside. “Mine it is,” he said, and headed for his room.

“Lucas! Put me down!” She clung to the top of his sweat pants, well aware her knuckles were brushing his bare ass.

p; “Okay.” He flipped her over, her back hitting the mattress, and she shut her eyes to get her bearings.

“You’re insane!”

“I’m just clarifying how things are going to be.”

She narrowed her gaze. “Didn’t I say I wanted to be in charge of my own life?”

He grinned. The one that showed all those white teeth and was impossible to resist. “You are most definitely in charge of your own life. It’s just that I’m in charge in the bedroom. Did I forget to mention that during our negotiation?”

“Negotiation? You’re making me crazy,” she muttered.

He dove onto the bed and rolled on top of her. “That’s the point. Can’t you just shut down the worry and enjoy?” He kissed the tip of her nose. One eyelid. Then the other.

“Can you do that for me?”

“Mmm. You make it sound so easy.”

“That’s because it is.” He rolled to the side and she did the same. “Go with the flow.”

“It’s been years since I’ve had that luxury.”

“Then let me give that to you.” He rubbed his cheek against hers. “Okay? Can you do that?”

“Yeah, I can.” Because she wanted to be with him, and for now that’s what mattered.

He yawned and she smiled. “Tired?”
