The Billionaire's Revenge (Tycoon Billionaires 3)

Joseph’s heart melted as he saw through her steely act. “Ah, I see.”

She twisted to glare at him. “And what does that mean?”

“Matthew’s cheated on you, right? That’s what he was getting at earlier when he said he could–”

“It’s none of your business.”

“Oh really? Don’t you think the world has the right to know?”

She gazed down at her lap, silently fuming. Joseph reached out and squeezed her shoulder as the rain hammered down on the windshield outside.

“Eleanor… when did a man last take care of you?”

She swallowed, not answering. She was still soaking wet from the rain, and she seemed vulnerable. Defeated.

“Matthew treats you like you’re not important. I bet he’s like that in bed too. Dismissive of your needs.”

She looked up and stared into his eyes. “I won’t lie – when I found out about Matthew’s cheating last year I wanted to break it off with him. But I decided to stand by my man – not because I’m an idiot, but because I’m smart. I knew what I could get from him, so I decided to stick by him until I got what I wanted. Well, now I’ve got what I wanted.”

“A job with Blair Robertson?”

She nodded. “Yep.”

“I guess you wouldn’t be the first person to stick by someone because of what they could give you.” He chuckled cynically. “It seems like your dream-come-true is turning out kinda like mine.”

“How so?”

“It’s not what it’s cracked up to be, huh? You thought Blair Robertson could offer you the world, but all you got was Gerald Stinger.”

Her steely armour tightened around her. “Well, I certainly don’t need what you’re offering. I don’t need a man like you complicating things.”

“Oh, and what would a man like me be exactly?”

“You’re a… a scoundrel.”

He raised an eyebrow. “A scoundrel, huh? Well, Ellie, the way I see it, you could probably do with a scoundrel in your life right now. Some excitement. Some fun. Don’t you think? I know I could.”

“No, what I need is to –”

Unable to resist any longer, he leaned over and kissed her hard on the mouth. Her soft lips acquiesced, but she squeaked her disapproval and punched him on the shoulder. He pulled away and smirked into her eyes. She glared angrily at him. He waited. She was either going to slap him, or…

Her angry expression surged to lust, and she threw her arms around him and kissed him hard. Single-pointed desire washed through Joseph and he pulled her close, kissing her with pent-up passion – pressing himself against her; desperate to fuck her hard until she was laughing with glee and purging her pain.

She groaned as the kiss increased in urgency, making their lips vibrate together, and ramping up Joseph’s lust. He slipped his tongue in her mouth, relishing her sweet taste – suddenly desperate to kiss, lick, and ple

asure every inch of her naked tight little body.

She pulled away abruptly, out of breath. “I can’t do this.”

“Ellie, I just want to give you one night of no-strings pleasure. I wanna hear you roaring my name and losing control. I want to be the best lover you’ve ever had, so you’ll never forget me.”

She buried her face in her hands. “Oh god…”

“And I know you want that too, don’t you?”

She closed her eyes and breathed hard. “No, I don’t… I don’t know.”

He cupped her chin and kissed her again – more tenderly this time. “Look, we can’t sit here in the parking lot all night. Let’s go back to mine and you can get dry.” He grinned. “And maybe we can see what happens.”
