Yours Completely (Billionaires and Brides 1)

“It's a good thing I have options, then.” Jace laughed and kissed her cheek. He picked up his phone and typed in a quick message before setting it back on the nightstand.

“What do you mean, 'options?'” Ella frowned. Her brain was still trying to process how she was going to get out of his room to change without have the staff seeing her. They wouldn't mean to get her in trouble, but Delores had eyes everywhere.

A knock on the door made her gasp. With no where else to go, she simply pulled the sheets up over her head and hid like a child. Maybe whoever was at the door wouldn't ask too many questions and wouldn't expose her.

“Thank you, Christopher,” Jace said. There wasn't a Christopher on staff that Ella knew, and curiosity made her peep out from under the sheet. Jace stood at the door wearing a pair of cotton pajama pants and looking completely at ease. A young man she didn't recognize wearing dress slacks and a dress shirt was handing Jace two large paper bags.

“Your flight plan was cleared and you're clear for takeoff whenever you're ready, Mr. Connor,” the young man replied.

“Excellent. I'll let you know if I need anything else.” Jace closed the door and turned back to face her. He tipped his hair and smiled. “You can come out now.”

Slowly, Ella lowered the sheet. It was difficult not to stare at the man before her. Bare, muscular chest with those thin cotton pants that hid nothing- he was gorgeous to look at.

“Who was that?” she asked, settling the sheet back away from her face.

“One of my assistants,” Jace replied. “He brought us breakfast as well as a change of clothes for you. Unless you want to wear your dress all day. It did look really good.”

“No, thank you,” Ella said, shaking her head at the idea of wearing the dress. “How did you know what size clothes to get me?”

“I peeked at the gown,” Jace answered with just a hint of a blush. “And you seem to be about the same size as Madelyn. You did both fit in that wedding dress.”

“Oh.” Ella blushed, remembering him walking in on her wearing the dress. It was strange to think that was less than two days ago.

Jace handed her one of the brown bags and she opened it on her lap. Inside was a cute polka-dot summer dress. Ella loved it immediately. She fingered the fabric, noting how soft it was. She held it up and noticed that it was wonderfully opaque. It was hard to find a dress like this that wasn't ridiculously see through as well.

There was more than just a dress in the bag. A lacy bra with matching panties, as well as a sensible but stylish pair of flats were also in the bag.

“You didn't have to do this,” she said, mentally calculating that the bra alone was worth a week's salary for her.

“Do you like them?” he asked, putting the second bag on the nightstand and pulling things out of it. “The shoes are a bit simple, but they were all Christopher could find this morning.”

“Yes. They're better than glass slippers,” she murmured. “This lingerie is nicer than anything I own. It's too much.”

“Not at all. They're yours now. I can't take them back and they'd look funny on me,” he replied, not letting her give them back. He grinned and held up a cup. “Coffee or tea? Cream or sugar?”

“Coffee, cream and sugar, please,” she replied, still holding the beautiful clothing. She couldn't remember the last time someone had given her something without expecting anything in return.

He focused his attention back on the cup of coffee, devoting his energy into making her the perfect cup. It was charming. When he finished, he handed her a perfect cup as well as a breakfast egg sandwich on thick white bread.

“I hope egg and bacon is okay,” he said, sitting back on the bed with her, his own breakfast on his lap. “I wasn't sure what you'd like, so I just had Christopher get his favorites. If you want something else, I can get it for you.”

“No, this is perfect,” Ella assured him. Her mouth watered as she picked up the sandwich. It had been a very long time since anyone had gotten her a hot breakfast, let alone one in bed.

It was hard not to devour the entire sandwich in one bite. It was delicious. The egg was perfectly poached and the bacon crisp and crunchy. The thick bread was toasted on the edges but chewy and moist on the inside. She'd never had a better sandwich in her life.

“So, I don't mean to pry, but I couldn't help but overhear your assistant say your flight plan was approved for today,” Ella said once she'd nearly finished her sandwich. She hated the way her stomach twisted slightly at the thought of him leaving. It was her first day off in forever, and she had been hoping to spend it with him. But if he had a flight...

“Do you like helicopters?” Jace asked, popping the last of his own sandwich in his mouth and apparently not answering her question.

“Um, yes?” Ella shrugged. “I've never been on one. They look fun, though.”

“Would you like to go on one today?” Jace grinned, his eyes getting a mischievous sparkle.

“With you? Yes.” Ella smiled, the twist in her stomach quickly coming undone. “I was kind of hoping to spend the day with you.”

“Good,” Jace replied. He kissed her cheek. “Because I was kind of hoping to spend the day with you, too.” He stood up and stretched, his muscles moving in the morning sunlight and making Ella's thoughts turn away from sandwiches and coffee.

“You sure we need to go on a helicopter?” Ella whispered, watching his body move. Suddenly just staying in the bed seemed like a very, very good idea. “We could just stay here.”
