Beauty and the Billionaire

“Where’s my wife?” I ask as Dad pulls Mom into his side, wrapping his arm around her.
Their PDA used to drive me insane. I never understood why it was so necessary until I met Remi. I’ve eaten a lot of crow since I found my little fox. I get it. It’s hard to keep your hands off the person you love. You can never get enough. Seeing how my parents are, I know that need will never lessen. If anything, it’s only grown with each year that passes.
“Something came in that she had to handle,” she responds. Dad leans down to either whisper something in her ear or nibble at her. I’m not staying around to find out. Plus, I need to find my little fox. She’s been away from me for too long.
I toss back the drink my dad brought me before I go in search of my wife. The last two months have been crazy with getting this place all together. We both have been working nonstop on the project to make sure we hit the opening date. We did it.
As happy as I am that the doors will be opening on the place tomorrow, I’m also elated that now I can get some alone time with my wife. Tonight, we’re going to celebrate. Our two little ones will be staying with Mom and Dad while I get to take my wife home to our empty house, where I have other plans for us.
“She’s directing the delivery that just came in,” Whitney says as I walk past her and Knox, who are mingling with a few other donors. Knox stands next to his wife with his arms folded, looking as bored as ever. He doesn’t have to be here, but there is no way he is leaving his wife alone at an event. I can’t even talk shit because I’m the exact same way when it comes to Remi.
“Did the rest of the mattresses come in?” I ask. That was the only thing that was missing as of this morning. When the order came a few days ago, we noticed they shorted us by five.
“Yep,” Whitney chirps.
I head toward the back of the building where we set up an area to take deliveries. I pick up my pace when I hear a familiar laugh followed by a male voice. I can’t leave her alone for two seconds without a man finding her and trying to flirt with her. She’s a damn beacon that calls them in. She doesn’t even mean to. It’s her sweet, sexy innocence that does it. She’s too alluring for her own good.
I round the corner to the loading dock area and see two men pulling mattresses off a truck, while a third holds a clipboard out for my wife to sign. She’s looking down at it, reading the slip, and I have no doubt the fucker in front of her is looking down the front of her dress.
“You think I could get your—”
“Don’t finish that sentence if you want to keep your teeth inside your mouth,” I growl. His head and my little fox’s pop up at the sound of my voice. I swear I see a hint of a smile on Remi’s face. She loves to pretend to get annoyed at my behavior, but the truth is she loves when I get all jealous.
“Hey, man, I didn’t know—” He lifts his hands, taking a few steps back as I close in on them.
“You don’t see the giant-ass rock on her finger?” His eyes widen a fraction, and I know he did. He just didn’t think her husband was going to pop up.
Remi darts over in front of me, placing her hands on my chest to stop me from going anywhere. I look over the top of her head at him.
“Get gone,” I bark at the man. He turns, taking off toward one of the trucks. The other two quickly unload the last of the mattresses before they’re gone too. I walk over, closing the bay doors and locking them. Remi stands there with her hand on her hips watching me.
“I was going to turn him down.” I make my way back to her. She licks her lips, her breathing starting to pick up. She knows what’s coming. Even without me being all worked up with those fuckers sniffing around her, she knew what today was.
“Everything is done,” I point out. “You know what that means.”
“I do.” She runs her hands up my chest. I reach down, my hands going to her ass as I lift her off her feet. She wraps her legs around me. “I don’t have any panties on.”
A groan leaves me. “You trying to get fucked against the nearest surface?”
“I did make a deal with you,” she says coyly.
“You did.” I grind my hard cock against her. Our first two kids came in quick succession. Our boys were a bit of a handful, so we decided to slow down for a second and enjoy them. We wanted to get Remi’s project off the ground. Then we both agreed it would be back to baby making.
