Daddy's Rich Enemy

But he doesn’t.

“Yes,” Dad says grimly. “But you’ve disappointed me yet again, Allie. And now I’ll have to think of something even better.” He clears his throat. “And I certainly won’t make the mistake of trusting you again.”

A lump forms in my throat and I push the chair back from the table as I leap to my feet. I want to rage at my father. I want to yell and scream and beat his chest with my fists.

I can’t, though. Because deep down, I know he’s right. I know that I’ve been nothing but a disappointment and embarrassment to my family since the day I was born. Dad had been hoping for a boy, and it was like as soon as he knew that he wouldn’t get what he wanted, he didn’t even bother trying.

I wish, more than anything in the world, that my parents loved me. But I know I’ll never stop trying to win their affection and approval, even if it kills me.

“Dad, I’m really sorry,” I say tearfully. “I promise that I’ll make it up to you.”

Turning on my heel, I head upstairs and lock my door behind me. Every part of my body is smarting with humiliation. I yank down my ripped hose and throw them in the trash. Seeing the snag on one leg reminds me of Dane and I bite my lip as I flop down on my bed.

God, how did things get so messy? In a way, I’m glad that I didn’t get the internship. Then I never would have met Dane…or kissed him. And if my father really does have some kind of trick up his sleeve, I’m admittedly glad that I won’t be playing a part in it. Dane is so hot and so kind, despite his alpha behavior.

I wouldn’t ever want to do anything to hurt him.

With trembling hands, I unzip my skirt and yank it down my legs. The material is hopelessly creased and I sigh as I throw it down to the floor before removing my blouse. There’s a purple love-bite on my right breast, right above the nipple and I brush it with my fingers.

The sensation is heavenly as my fingers trail over my stiff nipple. I have to bite my lip to keep from crying out in pleasure as a wonderful knot of arousal begins to form in my lower belly.

God, Dane was so unbearably hot! I can’t believe that I got the chance to make out with someone like him. And if his driver hadn’t almost crashed and thrown me to the floor, I have a feeling that we would have gone a lot further.

Don’t be a dummy, I tell myself as I reluctantly pull my hand away from my breast. Dane wouldn’t really want to sleep with you – and you never should have put yourself in that position!

Against my better judgment, I slide my hand inside my panties. The curls of my pubic hair are soaking wet and I gasp as my finger brushes against my hard clit. I know it’s a sin to touch myself, but with heady thoughts of Dane in my mind, I can’t help it. My cheeks burn with shame and arousal as I spread my legs and flick my thumb over my clit.

God, it feels so good. Soon, I’m squirming and writhing as I rub my hard pleasure nub. Dane’s face floats through my head and I’m gasping and clenching as a powerful orgasm rips through my body.

When it’s over, I feel almost sad. I’m never going to see him again, I tell myself as I wipe my hand on the blanket and crush my face into the pillows.

I may never see him again, but there’s no way in hell that I’ll ever forget Dane Andersen.

Chapter Six

Dane

Allie.

Sweet, sweet Allie.

It’s been days and I can’t get her out of my head. I’ve tried everything – I even spent four hours at the gym the other night, just trying to exhaust myself enough to sleep without the image of her sweet face floating in front of me. Have you ever spent four fucking hours at a gym?

Let me tell you: even as a man in extremely good shape for his age, it was still one of the worst goddamned ideas that I’ve ever had. The next morning, I was so stiff that I had to call a massage therapist to my penthouse. I was too sore to get out of bed.

In short, I’ve been a real mess ever since Allie leapt out of my limo and ran down some back alley.

Hanson isn’t pleased with me, either. I know it’s technically not his fault that we weren’t able to find Allie, but since he’s the only one who saw her, I’ve been putting him on duty outside of the Lockdown building every day from dawn to dusk. H

ey, she appeared outside once…why not again?

I sound like a fucking crazy person.

Maybe I am. But I swear – Allie inspires that kind of passion in me. Ever since we met briefly, I can’t stop thinking about her luscious ass and thighs. I’ve never had a woman like that before and now that I’ve gotten a hold of Allie’s ripe curves, I don’t ever want to sleep with another stick figure again.

My thoughts are interrupted by the sound of the intercom buzzing on my desk.

“Mr. Andersen? May I come in?”
