Journey to Fortune (Power Surge: The Billionaire Club 4)

“No. But we are working on a plan for you to go back. Adelina called, and she wants to go shopping with you. She suggested it, since you don’t have any clothing,” Hudson told her.

She stepped back from Jagger’s arms and placed her hands on her hips. She looked so damn sexy in his robe. And even sexier naked.

“And how did you respond to her idea?” she asked.

Jagger reached for the belt on the robe and tugged it, making it come undone. Tia Rose hadn’t even removed her hands from her hips. She knew Jagger’s moves by now as she smiled up at him.

“I didn’t give my answer. I prefer you like this.” He cupped her breast, causing the nipples to push forward over the space between his thumb and pointer. He used his thumb to cress the tips as he held her gaze.

“I need clothes, Jagger.”

He leaned down and licked one tip and then the other.

“I need you. All the time.” He blew warm breath over each tip.

“Jagger, please,” she begged of him. He looked at Hudson, who raised his eyebrows. “She does need clothes.”

“Okay, but not a lot, and no panties. I’ll just rip them anyway,” He teased her and then raised his eyebrows up and down. She chuckled and smiled before he pulled her against him and kissed her.

It was getting late when Adelina and Tia Rose had finally finished shopping. They decided to head to The Phantom for some drinks and food. As they arrived, the men spoke with their friends, and Adelina and Tia walked to the ladies’ room.

“Thank you so much for going shopping with me. I couldn’t believe that you convinced Hudson and Jagger to let me go.”

“Are you kidding me? I know how important your job is to you. I also love to shop and you needed a new wardrobe.”

“Yeah, I can’t believe that Hudson and Jagger paid for everything. I can’t seem to get used to the fact that they’re so wealthy. I like having my own money, and buying things myself.”

They continued to talk while they took care of their business in the ladies’ room, and then Tia emerged, and began to wash her hands.

“You should let them take care of you, but also remain independent to an extent. If they’re anything like their friends, they’ll accept that you want to continue to work and have your career. After all, they had to work very hard for their money,” Adelina said as she began washing her hands.

“What about Jett and Flynn? Would they allow their woman to have a career?” she asked. Adelina shot her head up to look at Tia Rose, and Tia smiled.

“I don’t think so. They don’t do commitments and serious relationships. They like no-strings-attached women.”

“How does that sit with you, being their club manager and all?” Tia Rose asked, and Adelina placed her hands on her hips and gave Tia a sideways expression.

“What are you thinking?”

“That you like them and they like you.”

“No. They don’t have any feelings like that for me.”

“And how do you feel about them?”

She shrugged her shoulders.

“I’ve been here for three years. If something was going to happen, it would have by now. Let’s head back.”

“Okay. I didn’t mean to pry. I could just tell that they like you, Adelina. They watch you when you’re not looking,” she told her.

Adelina smiled. “Thanks, Tia.”

They headed back out to the club and through the very crowded dance floor.

Tia felt a hand grip hers and start pulling her in the opposite direction.
