Seduction: Billionaire Age Gap Romance 1
Chapter 1Jason grimaced when he got his first look at the girl his son had brought home. They were still unloading their luggage from the seaplane that had stopped at his dock, so he had plenty of time to size her up. In denim shorts with tattered legs, slung low on her hips, a cropped black T-shirt, and with the ends of her short hair dyed an unnatural shade of purple-red, she practically screamed teenage rebellion.The only problem with that theory was he knew her to be twenty-three, according to the information his son had relayed. Josh was a sophomore, and so was she. When Jason questioned why she was still in college at her age, his son had breezily explained Lanie spent a few years searching for herself. Judging from the appearance she presented, the girl would have been better off spending a bit more time looking, until she found someone remotely presentable.His eyes widened when she straightened, stretching with her arms over her head. A dart of desire hit him like a fist in

Chapter 2To make the room even more intimidating, Jason sat at the table, clicking the keys of his laptop and speaking into the microphone of a headset he wore. He looked up, lifted a finger to indicate he’d be a moment, and finished his conversation. As he spoke, she drank in the sight of him, resisting the urge to squirm as she took a seat. Jason was fit and tanned, with handsome features that had a rougher edge than Josh’s still immature facial appearance.Get a grip. It was crazy to lust after Josh’s father. She reminded herself he was fifteen years older than she was and unlikely to find her at all appealing. He was too virile and male to seem like anyone’s father, especially since he could pass for someone in his early thirties. No doubt, Jason had his pick of women, so why would he want someone like Lanie?When he’d finished his conversation, he looked up. His gaze encompassed both of them, but she couldn’t help feeling as if his eyes were boring directly into her, probing her

Chapter 3“The stud is one of her pieces.”Jason leaned closer to examine it, bringing his face inches from hers. Lanie had the mad urge to bridge the distance and press her lips to his. She jerked back abruptly to avoid giving in to the impulse.“It’s lovely. I like the serpentine design.”“Thanks.” She didn’t bother to enlighten Jason about the special texture the tongue stud provided for extra stimulation when used during oral sex. It was one of the products two adult shops in Miami purchased from her on a regular basis. Sex jewelry wasn’t her primary niche, but it helped pay the bills so she could work on more traditional pieces.To her relief, the conversation shifted back to Josh, and she was able to sit quietly throughout the rest of the meal, needing only to give an occasional reply. When dinner ended, she rose to her feet with relief once Josh did. As they strolled from the dining room, she realized they were all heading for another destination. She grimaced, having hoped the

Chapter 4After leaving Lanie at her door, Jason detoured into the study instead of going through to his suite. He sat down behind the massive desk, analyzing the last few moments. No, he wasn’t imagining it, he decided. Lanie had definitely responded to him on a physical level.This offered a new option for dealing with the unsuitable girl Josh had dragged home. He might be a little rusty when it came to sex, but it wouldn’t take much to seduce Josh’s fiancée. He didn’t even have to sleep with her. All it would take was revealing her for what she really was.Not that sleeping with her would be a hardship, he conceded. She had a hot little body he could easily imagine sinking into. His cock twitched at the thought, and he shifted restlessly.Now, all he had to do was get Josh out of the way for a few days. Within a week or two, he’d certainly be able to get her to switch her supposed affections to him—or his bank account—instead of Josh. Pondering a strategy gave him the same thrill i

Chapter 5Lanie set down her fork, trying to analyze her friend’s tone. Excited? Anxious?“Do you remember when I applied for the internship with Senator Garvey?” At his father’s nod, he said, “I didn’t get a spot, but they have an opening now.”“Really? That sounds exciting,” said Jason. His bland expression revealed nothing about his true feelings.“Yeah. It’s only two weeks, for a special project. I have to let them know later this morning.”Jason looked surprised. “You didn’t accept right away?”Josh glanced at Lanie, and she gave him a small smile. “I had to check with Lanie first.”“Excuse me?” Jason cleared his throat. “Do you need your fiancée’s permission to take advantage of such a promising opportunity?”“No,” Lanie said, a little louder than she’d intended. “Josh should do whatever he wants.”Jason nodded. “I’m glad you feel that way. When are you supposed to arrive in D.C.?”Josh chewed on his bottom lip for a second. “That’s the thing. They want me to start tomorrow.” He

Chapter 6Lanie had chosen a black cotton skirt and red sleeveless top for dinner, along with the black flats, sans hosiery. Having braced herself for Marla, it was a surprise to find no one in the dining room. Thinking they were on the patio, she headed that way, coming to an abrupt stop when she saw Marla and Josh standing in the foyer.“There you are.” Josh came forward to sweep her into a hug. “I have to go now, but I couldn’t leave without telling my best girl bye.”“Gag,” she said against his ear, making both of them laugh. He dipped his head, and she lifted her cheek, expecting a parting kiss. At the last moment, Josh turned, bringing his lips against hers. Her first instinct was to push him away, but she endured the embrace, assuming this show was for his father’s benefit.When Josh stepped away, she saw Jason out of the corner of her eye. Maybe he had been there all along, but she hadn’t noticed him at first. His tight lips and narrow-lidded gaze expressed his annoyance. As i

Chapter 7Awaking in her own bed, still dressed, left Lanie confused for a second. The last thing she remembered was the movie. What had happened after that? Forcing herself to focus, she got the vague impression of warmth and safety, but nothing else. So, how had she ended up in her room? Jason had seen to it, but had he carried her, or had he gotten her to walk?The question plagued her through a quick shower, and she was awkward when she joined Jason in the breakfast room. He was finishing up, so there wouldn’t be much of a need to converse.“Good morning. Did you sleep well?”Was there a hint of mocking in his tone? No, it was more like teasing. “I did.” She left it at that, biting back the urge to ask how she had made it to her bed.“Do you have plans for today?”Lanie shrugged. “Not really. I was just going to relax.” She had a suitcase of work awaiting her, but it wasn’t urgent. She was trying to get ahead on some of her orders, but they weren’t due for delivery just yet.“I ha

Chapter 8Hoping he hadn’t noticed her lapse, she quickly rubbed in the oil, coating his skin wherever she saw bare spots. It was almost as pleasurable to rub the oil over him as it was to have him put it on her. They were both breathing faster by the time she finished. Lanie lay down beside him, her arm resting against his on the too-small blanket. To her relief, Jason didn’t try to engage her in conversation.It was more than an hour later when he rolled away from her to sit up. “Let’s swim.”“No, I—” She protested when he pulled her upright, fighting the urge to cover her breasts in the miniscule triangles. “I’m not in the mood to swim.”He frowned, though he seemed to have trouble keeping his eyes level with hers. “Do you know how?”“Yeah, of course. I was just enjoying the sun.”“It’s hot out here. Let’s have a refreshing swim, eat some lunch, maybe more sunbathing, and do a little snorkeling before we call it a day?”Lanie really didn’t want to get in the water with him. The tho

Chapter 25“I’m an idiot,” he said again, with a marked lack of amusement. “From the moment I saw you, I had a strong reaction. I thought it was because you weren’t good enough for my son, but I knew, deep down, there was more to it. I wanted you for myself.”She managed a ghost of a smile. “Yeah, I’m just irresistible.”“You were…are.” He leaned forward a bit more, his hand hovering just within reach of hers. “I overheard you telling Josh you would make the rings, but he had to tell me about the wedding. I didn’t know—”She groaned. “Of course. You assumed our wedding was on again.”“And when he forgave you for sleeping with me, how could I possibly get him to drop you?” He looked defeated, as if unconsciously mimicking how he had felt at that moment.“That was Mark, obviously. He had a fling while Josh was out of town, but he confessed, and your son forgave him.” Lanie glared at him. “Why didn’t you just ask me about the wedding? If you cared about me at all, how could you think I w

Chapter 24Anger emanated from Jason in almost visible waves as he dragged her through the Mall of America and out into the parking lot. It was a short walk to his hotel, and she didn’t try to break the silence, too afraid he would explode in public. Going with him alone to his hotel room was also daunting, but it was better than making a scene.She had little time to appreciate the elegant beauty of his spacious suite as he pushed her inside, slamming the door behind them. He had maintained a firm hold on her until now, and she took advantage of him releasing her to shrug off the heavy apron to set it on a table in the entryway.His gaze settled on her distended stomach. “Is it mine?”Lanie resented the question, but understood why he asked it. She had taken the emergency contraceptive and had what she had thought was a period during her time with him. Not to mention his low opinion of her in general would make him predisposed to seeing her as the slutting-around type. Damn her abili

Chapter 23Lanie squinted through the jeweler’s lens as she put in a replacement diamond to repair the ring she held. She knew enough about the market to know this rock would have bought her a nice little house and allowed her to stay home for at least a year after the birth. Instead, she would be returning at six weeks postpartum, but what choice was there? She couldn’t risk telling Jason until she was able to prove she could give her daughter a secure life too. Otherwise, his money and power would facilitate him walking all over her and taking their child if he chose to.She stifled a sigh and tried to push her worries out of her head. It did no good to rehash the same concerns over and over. The course of action was set, and she had to follow it.“Lanie, you have a customer here.”She looked up at Ned, managing a smile as she removed the magnifying lens. “For me? I work in the back.”“He said you came highly recommended.”She shrugged. “Okay.”“Shall I send him back here, or do you

Chapter 22“I came to apologize.” Jason tugged again at the tie, impatiently unfastening the knot. “It’s asking a lot, but I hope you can forgive me. You and Lanie,” he added, finding it difficult to speak her name. “I shouldn’t have tried to interfere in your relationship. It wasn’t my place to try to protect you from making a mis—” He broke off when Josh’s eyes narrowed. “Anyway, I realized I didn’t behave well, and I’d hate to miss your wedding.”Josh maintained a cold expression for another minute before it collapsed into one of annoyance. “Ah, hell.”“What?”“I promised Lanie I’d make up with you. Dammit.”Jason flinched. “That was generous of her.” His cynical thoughts immediately jumped to the idea that she wanted a reconciliation so he would restore his son’s allowance. That was one thing Jason had no intention of doing. If Lanie really loved Josh, she would stand by him without a penny to his name. If not, his son would still see what kind of person she was, hopefully before

Chapter 21“Are you sure you want to do this?” asked Josh for probably the hundredth time in the past month, since she’d told him a few days after they’d returned to Atlanta that she was going to leave.Lanie nodded. “I need to get away for a while.”“I’d feel better if I knew where you were going at least.”His expression of worry tugged at her heart, and she ruffled his hair. “I’ll let you know as soon as I settle somewhere.”Josh frowned. “I don’t like this. What’s wrong with your life here?”She shrugged. “I just need a change.” And she had to get away from Josh, as much as she loved him, before her presence permanently wrecked his relationship with Jason. There was another reason, but she wasn’t going to confide it.“You’ll be back for the wedding?”“Of course,” she said, trying not to appear evasive. Even if Jason didn’t come—and she hoped he would, for Josh’s sake—it was unlikely she’d be there, but she couldn’t explain why. It hurt her to lie to him, especially since he expect

Chapter 20Jason had spent the night in a guestroom on the other side of the house, but had not slept. He waited until Lanie left his bedroom the next morning before slipping inside to retrieve the file Marla Meyers had brought. Was it only two weeks ago? It seemed like a lifetime. No matter. It was time to disillusion his son about the gold-digging slut and to destroy her ability to further damage his family.He found them together in the breakfast room. Josh was chattering away as usual, but Lanie looked wan, with purple bruises under her eyes. He should have relished proof of her agitated night, but he had to suppress a wave of remorse instead. She deserved what he’d done to her, and what he was about to do, he reminded himself.“Good morning, Dad,” said Josh, sounding too damned cheerful. “You slept late, huh? I’m not used to you being the last one down.”Jason dropped into his chair, careful to avoid Lanie’s probing gaze. “I had a lot on my mind.”“Me too.” Josh took a deep breat

Chapter 19Jason still experienced a hint of anxiety when the helicopter landed the next afternoon. Would Josh be as carefree about the canceled wedding that supposedly never was as Lanie thought? Or would he react with anger? He had to admit to a small bit of worry about her reaction to Josh as well. It seemed unlikely she would change her mind after admitting she was falling in love with him, but he still didn’t know if he could trust her.They met Josh at the landing pad. His son looked tired and a little pale, along with completely happy. After he’d received a hug, Jason watched through narrowed eyes as Josh hugged Lanie, seemingly with nothing more than friendly affection. She pressed a kiss on his cheek before stepping away from him. He waited to see if she would acknowledge their relationship. When she leaned against him casually, as though she hadn’t given it a second thought, he breathed a small of relief. He put his arm around her waist, watching Josh’s reaction.Josh’s mout

Chapter 18Later, they laid together in his bed, where he’d taken her the first night they had returned from their vacation and she had slept ever since. Lanie was on the verge of sleep, and he pressed a kiss to her forehead, moved to the tender gesture by the open sweetness of her sleepy expression.“Jason?” His name was a little slurred from a combination of sleepiness and the tropical drinks she’d had a while before they’d come to bed.“Yes, Lanie?” He kissed her closed eyelids.“Thank you.”“For what?”“Everything. Being with you is so amazing.” She yawned. “The cave today…it means a lot to me, knowing you’ve never shared that with anyone before.”He grimaced, still uncomfortable with his decision to do so. It had been spontaneous, and he didn’t regret the experience. It was just knowing he had given her a glimpse inside him by sharing something so personal made him nervous.“Don’t freak out.”He sat up a little straighter, gaze on her face. Her lids blinked several times, and she

Chapter 17Three days later, she was excited to see the helicopter on the roof of the hotel. The trips around Miami and southern Florida had been fun, but she was eager to return to the island. It seemed like home. Since nowhere had felt like home in seven years, Lanie didn’t know whether to embrace the feeling or to try to deny it. So much depended on what Jason wanted from her—and for how long.She had nearly forgotten how much she hated the helicopter, but remembered within minutes of being in the air. Lanie squeezed Jason’s hand, keeping her eyes closed.“You need a distraction,” he whispered in her ear.She opened one eye a slit. “What?”“A little something to take your mind off the flight.” As he spoke, Jason moved his hand up her thigh, under the short skirt of the flirty dress he’d asked her to wear. “I’ve been thinking about this all morning,” he said softly. Moving his hand higher, he breached the side of her panties, his finger sliding along her slit. “And this. Your pussy
