Bound By the Billionaire 45
I spent most of last night cursing myself maybe I should have knocked? Not that he would have heard as he was in the shower, and I really did think he was away, why the hell would I knock when I was sure the room was empty?I should have just dropped the basket and being on my way that’s what! I skipped breakfast this morning. I just couldn’t face him. I saw him naked for God’s sake. N.A.K.E.DWithout a stich of clothing on. None, nada, nothing.And he was… I have no words, I felt like no words could describe him, I could open a thesaurus and no word would do him justice. Ian Quinn in all his naked glory was simply glorious. And he was equally delicious in a suit, if not more. I wasn’t sure which I preferred, a trail of goosebumps sprouted along my skin as it had been whenever I though of him. He was perfectly sculpted. It wasn’t fair that anyone would look like that. He looked like he spent all day laying in the sun. Beautiful golden skin everywhere. His hair damp messy from hi

“Join me for dinner” Ian said after a moment, his gaze held mine. I bit my bottom lip shaking my head as pleasure warmed my belly, it made me heady “I just ate” He doesn’t even move “Then you can watch me eat” “That’s not creepy or anything” I complained but I was smiling, his eyes dropped to my lips. I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear suddenly feeling quite shy and light, I worried I might float into the clouds. He had this way about him, I was both bold and shy in his presence. Contradicting, I know but that was my new reality. I inches to the side and closer to the door “I really have to work on my paper” “I’m certain you’ve been working so hard you should rest, take some time off” he turns me around by his hands on my shoulders, leading us back into the room and away from the door where I planned on making my escape. He pulls out a chair and I sit without much prompting. his hands dropped to my shoulders. “Let’s discuss last weekend while I was away” I looked at him ov

It’s strangle gloomy when we leave the library the next day, So early in April we weren’t expecting any rain fall. Hm.I hurried to the car and drove to my last class. I have my books spread out in front of me, my phone is on silent and deep in my bag, Professor Marks nods at me and I’m glad to be back in his good graces now that I’m not allowing myself to be distracted. As it should be. The weather is even worst be the time I step out. There isn’t a speck of blue left in the sky. Just fat gloomy clouds ready to burst at any moment and drench unsuspecting individuals going about their day.“Looks like it might actually rain” Sam notes looking upwards, a hand on his forehead “Yeah, one can hope, might take an edge off this blistering heat” Hannah said, pushing her hair off her neck. A strong wind come blowing at my hair and the skirt of my dress. I slap at my thighs, holding my dress with one hand, I wave with the other. “I better get going, in case it does rain don’t wann

The door shuts quietly behind us. The room is toasty, I almost feel my face begin to thaw. The heat is on full blast. A trail of water runs from my scalp down my neck and down the front of my dress. My fingertips tingle.He tips my head back to get me to look at him, green eyes looks do on mine with intensity a breath passes my lips. He watches me for a moment, Ian pats my hair once more with the towel “I’ll be right back” I watch his back as he moves directly to the bathroom, the light comes on and I hear water running and he returns without his jacket, no tie and the arms of his shirt pushed up. The black waistcoat now damp from my hair matches his charcoal pants and belt. He removes the wet towels from my shoulders and head dumping them on the floor. “Would you like to bath with your bag?” The question snapped me from my frozen haze and I realize I’m still hugging my bag pack and the car keys to my chest. I release it slowly and Ian smiles encourageinly. He takes them

It’s pouring so heavily, the car is speeding, flying down the road. My little fingers sqeeese into the strap holding me, I turn to the woman driving the car. Her pretty dark hair is curly, flying in the breeze, She turns to smile at me one last time “Don’t worry Katy, it’s me and you forever” I nodded. A bright light blinded me. Followed by a crash, and then we were flying. Glass shattered the woman looked at me with empty eyes, her head in an odd angle, a pretty curly hair hanging on her forehead, red dripped on my neck, getting on my princess dress, red, so much red. “Katy” “Katy!” Someone was calling my name from what seems to be a thousand miles away. I felt hands on my cheeks, shaking me “Wake up kitten!” I wake on a gasp, a large hand frames the side of my face, the other on my upper arm holding me down. I jerked, trying to get up, wheezing. Jesus I couldn't breathe. Why couldn't I breath? My lips part and I sucked in a glup of air. “Katy?” The voice called right

“Why are you up?” He tosses his phone into the table the second he sees me, getting up and abandoning his mug beside the plates. “Shouldn’t you be resting?” Resting? I just woke up. “Uh? I have classes today” He meets me halfway into the room his hands coming to my upper arms over the material of my dress. “Skip. You almost caught your death out there last night” I shook my head. I finger clutching the sides of my dress at the thought of last night, my loose hair flying about my cheeks. “I feel much better now” He looked down at me. “Are you sure?” “Sure” I answered. Trying to sound fine. His eyes remains on my for a long moment, before skimming my cheeks and down my neck. “You do look much better this morning” he turns but doesn’t release me, leading me to my usual chair at the table, pulling it back and tucking me in. “Thought I would prefer if you stayed in bed for the day just to be safe” “That would be a waste” “Prioritizing your health is never a waste Kitten” Now sea

I guess Ian was right that I needed rest because I begun to feel sleeping during my second class. I only managed to keep my eyes open through the third. During lunch, Hannah and I tossed around outfit ideas and noted the stores we would be visiting this weekend in preparation for JBK concert. After my last class I bid them good bye, my eyes half closed, Sam laughing at me. And forgoing our studying session. I hurry back home and collapsed on my bed only managing to kick off my shoes. It must at least be hours later when I hear my phone ring, the sound waking me up. Swiping my fingers over my eyes, I yawned loudly. “Man… that was a good nap” sometimes there was no better feeling than waking up from a well deserved nap. Would have been better if it wasn’t interrupted but we get what we get. Leaning over the bed for my bag which I dumped by the floor in my haste to get in bed, I fished my phone from my side pocket one handedly then I flipped it over to the front, frowning at the scre

“Kitten?”I turned at the sound of his voice as Ian strolled into the kitchen one hand in his pants pocket, his expression cool. “I was just about to come get you, let’s go” he prompted at me to join him.I dropped the glass into the sink running the water with a flick of my wrist “Go where?”He looks to have changed from his suit this morning to a dark shirt and matching pants.Ian comes up to stand behind me, this close I can see his hair is damp, and a dark strand of his falls over his forehead hanging an inch from his brow, he waves at my concerns “Don’t know” he cocked a brow “Anywhere, I’m in the process of making an executive decision” and I resisted the urge to lean forward and smooth his hair back from his forehead.I bet it would be soft. I turned to face him fully, trying to remember what he said, leaning against the counter I crossed my hands under my breasts, “Then shouldn’t you be doing that?”Now standing right in front of me, he smiled “I am, but need to take my mind
