I Choose You: A Secret Billionaire Romance

“My stomach has been feeling a little off for the past couple of days,” I said.

“In that case, we’ll take two ginger ales,” Jacob said.

“Sounds great,” the waitress replied, before turning and leaving to fetch our drinks.

She was back within minutes to hand us our bubbling ginger ale in tall glasses, topped with one of those little umbrellas. I loved that she had made the drink look special.

“Here’s to you and your dream job,” Jacob said, holding up his ginger ale.

“Thank you, Jacob.” I grinned at him.

We clinked our glasses together and took a sip. The carbonation helped to ease my stomach and eating sounded infinitely more appetizing than before.

“So, we’ll eat lunch, then what?” Jacob asked. “This is your day.”

Truth be told, the only thing I really wanted was to spend time with him. I had been without him for six weeks. That meant no kisses, no sex and no snuggles. We could have spent our time walking our Silicon Valley, but what I really wanted was to have him to myself for a little while. Especially since my roommate was currently away from the apartment.

“Let’s go back to my place after we finish here,” I said.

His eyes lit up. He knew what was on my mind.

“Sounds like a plan,” he said.

Chapter 15

We went straight back to my place after lunch. The entire drive over, it was all I could do to keep my hands off of him. I wanted to touch every inch of him and make sure he was still real. That this whole day wasn't just a wonderful dream where I got everything that I wanted.

As soon as he parked the car, I grabbed his hand and led him up the stairs to the front door of my apartment building. For the past six weeks, we'd only been able to talk on the phone. We'd done our share of dirty talk and sexy emails, but it was never as good as the real thing. I wanted to touch him, to taste him- which was just something I couldn't do over the phone or in an email.

As we walked down the hallway toward my apartment, our hands were all over each other. He walked close behind me, burying his face into my neck and grabbing my butt. I’d reach back and playfully touch the front of his slacks, where his bulge had already formed. His every touch sent my senses into overdrive.

I poked my head into my apartment and looked around. Then I called out for my roommate, just to make sure that she wasn’t there.

“Lauren?”

No answer. I grinned.

“Okay, come on,” I said, grabbing Jacob’s hand again and pulling him into my place.

I tossed my purse and sunglasses carelessly onto the kitchen counter, as Jacob shut the door behind us.

“God, I want you,” he muttered, his eyes moving up and down my body. “Get over here.”

It wasn’t like I needed his encouragement. I was already halfway there and my hands went straight to the buttons on his shirt. Quickly, I undid them. If it hadn’t been such an expensive looking shirt, I probably would have just ripped it off to save time.

His hands were all over my body while I worked to remove his shirt. He touched my hips, then wrapped around to squeeze my butt. Then he brought his fingers up the back of my silk dress. By the time he got there, I had undone all of the buttons on his dress shirt. I opened it up and Jacob removed it the rest of the way. He was now shirtless, wearing only slacks and dress shoes. Something about it was super sexy.

“Help me take my top off,” I said, as I held my arms into the air.

Jacob growled sexually as he took the bottom of my shirt in his hands and pulled it up over my arms. He tossed it onto the counter-top next to my purse and then immediately began kissing my neck.

I moaned softly, whispering words of want as he caressed me.

Six weeks of not seeing him made his touch that much better and more satisfying. I hadn’t realized how much I had missed him until he was there with me. I breathed in deep, savoring the scent of his musk and cologne, bathing in the sensation of his lips on my skin.

Jacob stepped forward and dropped his hands down to my ass. Then he lifted me up and set me on the counter next to the sink. I wrapped my legs around him and cocked my head to the side as he continued to kiss the outside of my neck. It was clear that he wanted this just as badly as I did by the way he never let his fingers leave my skin.

I unclasped my bra and let it fall off of my shoulders. My nipples were already erect, even though he hadn’t touched them yet. With my bra now off, though, Jacob began to fondle my breasts, gently sliding his fingers over my hard nipples. He pulled his face away from my neck and then move straight to my chest. He kissed between my cleavage, moaning as he did so. Then his hands slid down my belly, as he brought his lips to one of my nipples. My jaw dropped and I breathed in, as Jacob worked the magic of his tongue on the sensitive nub.
