GABE (Silicon Valley Billionaires 2)

He gave me a wry smile that made his dimple flash, simultaneously calming me and making me swoon. “I already told you, I would do anything for you.” He ran his hand down my back, making me shiver. “If this is what you need right now, I can do it. And if it excites you, I’m sure it will excite me.”

His hand reached my bottom, and he cupped it, looking at my body worshipfully. “Are you ready?”

I nodded, and suddenly, he slid up beside me, pulling me in for a kiss that made me woozy. His tongue searched for mine. I sighed in pleasure as he cupped my breast, and I felt his erection brush against me. Then he was behind me again, rubbing his cock against my wet slit.

Then he pulled back and smacked my ass.

I sucked in a deep breath. It stung a little, but not much. “Do it harder.”

He rubbed my cheeks first, priming them, and then gave me another sharp crack. I shuddered in pleasure.

“Spread your legs open a little.”

I did as I was told and cried out in surprised pleasure when he put his face between my legs, licking my sex until I wobbled beneath him.

Then he pulled back and slapped my exposed sex. Softly.

I let out a short puff of breath. That was what I wanted—what I hadn’t known I’d wanted. “Do that harder. And then fuck me.” I spread my legs open farther, and he first spanked my ass cheeks, harder this time, causing them to sting. Then he spanked my sex, making it burn—sharp and bright, just like I wanted.

Then he notched his cock into me and fucked me, hard.

I relished his brute strength as he gave me what I wanted, his strong hips bucking against me. He held my ass and pulled me against his erection, filling me almost painfully, and then he stopped again.

“More,” I begged quietly. “I want more, and then I want you to come in me, hard.”

He let out a strangled groan and then buried his face in my sex again. He took my clit in his teeth and nibbled at me, and I almost came all over him, but he stopped before I could. He got up on his knees and spanked me, so hard I yelped, and I fucking loved him for it. That’s it. Make me feel. Let me know that I’m alive, and that every part of me is yours.

“Again,” I said.

He struck me again and again, and my body quivered under his heavy, rigid hand. My skin burned, but I could feel my pussy clamoring for him. “Now—now!”

As soon as he entered me, I shattered around his huge cock.

I felt him go rigid as my body undulated around his. “Oh fuck, babe.” He came in me hotly, hips pumping, filling me with his seed.

I only realized later, after we’d collapsed on the bed and I could think straight again, that he’d managed to do the impossible: make me forget about what was happening, at least for a little while.

“I love you,” I murmured before falling asleep.

He grunted and then opened one eye to look at me. “That means I love you too. In grunting.”

He wrapped me in his arms and pulled me against his chest, right where I belonged. And for the first time in weeks, and maybe for the last time for a long time to come, I fell into a dreamless, untroubled sleep.

The next morning, I stretched luxuriously, my limbs loose and relaxed. And then I remembered: there were only three days left before we had to meet Li Na’s henchmen. I rolled over and found Lauren curled into a ball on her side, in a deep sleep. My heart clenched, seeing her like that—peaceful, oblivious.

My phone buzzed with a text from Olivia. Call me when you have a second, it read. We need to talk.

I slipped out of bed and went into the suite’s main living space, calling her immediately. “What’s going on?”

She sighed. “I really don’t want to get into specifics, but I don’t feel right keeping this from you. I couldn’t sleep. Some of the other distributors know now…and I wasn’t the one who told them.”

I steeled myself for the worst. “I’m listening.”

“If I tell you this, I need something in exchange…something to protect myself and my company if this comes back to me. Can you do that?”
