The Billionaire's Bargain 32.
CHRISTIANI was losing my mind.It had been two days since she got on her knees, wrecked me, and left me hanging—two days since she pulled that stunt and walked away like she hadn’t just sent me spiraling into a level of frustration I hadn’t known was possible.And now?Now, she was torturing me.I was at my desk, staring blankly at the numbers on my laptop screen. I was supposed to be reviewing reports—finalizing the details for a deal I had been working on for weeks.Instead, all I could think about was her, the way she looked up at me from the floor of my study, her mouth wrapped around my cock, her eyes full of something wicked—like she knew she was ruining me.She did know. And she enjoyed every second of it.I leaned back in my chair, dragging a hand down my face, trying to shake the memory out of my head.But then—like she had some kind of psychic ability to sense my breaking point—she appeared.Penelope strolled past my open door again.Little blue shorts that barely covered h

CHRISTIAN One minute we're at the party we got invited to. The next, my mouth was on hers, her body was against mine, and we were stumbling into the elevator in a tangle of pent-up longing and heightened adrenaline.Thank God we were in the area where I had just recently bought a penthouse, the drive home would have been long and I needed her. Now. And the penthouse had a private lift because there was no chance in hell we could make it up the stairs without injuring ourselves. Not when my blood was on fire and Penelope was grasping my hair with a desperation that cut into my soul. We somehow made it to the bedroom in one piece. I kicked the door shut behind us and our clothes fell to the floor with little care.Dress. Shoes. Shirt. Underwear.They left a rumpled trail behind us as we fell onto the bed. I kissed my way down her neck and chest while my fingers found the heat between her legs.So wet, so perfect, so mine, so ready for me.Penelope let out a small whimper when I close

PENELOPEThe late morning light poured through the curtains, casting a soft golden glow across the room. The scent of him lingered in the sheets—warm musk, cologne, and something distinctly Christian.And the warmth of the sheets cocooned me, my body still humming with the remnants of last night. Every inch of me ached—in the best way possible.I kept my breathing steady, my body still, pretending to be asleep as I felt the bed shift. The mattress dipped slightly as he moved. A moment later, I felt it—the press of his lips against my forehead. A soft, lingering kiss.The bed dibbed as he got up, his bare footsteps padding across the hardwood floor.I slowly cracked one eye open, just a peak, just enough to steal a glance.The muscles of his back flexed as he stretched, his broad shoulders rolling. Even from behind, he was breathtaking, all strong lines and firm muscle. The scratches I’d left on him last night were faint, but they were there.My cheeks burned, I shouldn’t be staring, b

PENELOPEI choked—literally choked on air.My glass slipped from my fingers slightly, but I caught it just before it could spill water all over the table. My face burned hotter than the damn sun, and across from me, he sat there, cool as ever, casually cutting into his lamb chops like he didn’t just ruin my entire existence with one sentence.Alfred? Oh, he was already gone, because even he knew better than to stick around for this conversation.I cleared my throat, forcing down the sudden lump that had formed. “Excuse me?”Christian leaned back in his chair, swirling the glass of water in his hand before taking a slow sip. His gaze locked onto me as he set the glass down. “I said… are you going to pretend my face wasn’t buried between your thighs last night?”“Christian!” I hissed, glancing around the room as if someone else could’ve overheard him.He smirked. This man was the devil.“What?” he said smoothly, picking up his fork again. “No response? You had a lot to say last night wh

PENNY The driveway is long and ridiculous. Trees darken the path to the house that rises like a green cloud in the evening sunlight. I prefer my little apartment with the view of the sprawling city but I make the trip to the countryside every other weekend. My car slows to a stop next to Maria’s and I step out into the warm air and make my way into the house. “Penelope!” I hear the excited squeal of a woman in bed, pale and thin but with a bright smile that can light an entire room. “Hey, Mom.” I return her smile, drop my bag, and give her a quick forehead kiss. “So how are you doing? Tell me everything.” She pats the space beside her happily.I laugh and sit down. “Where’s Maria?” My mother waves a dismissive hand. “She’s off somewhere trying to prepare another atrocious food for me to eat. Honestly, if the cancer doesn’t kill me her food will.” I laugh again. “I’m sure once you stop joking like that, not even cancer can kill you.” “Remains to be seen,” she says wistfully and

PENNYI roll over, force my eyes open, and slap off my alarm. The initial excitement from the news Jess broke last night has worn off after we spent the better part of the night planning and brainstorming. As it turns out, getting the space is the easy part. We need funding and my savings have been stretched thin to secure the space and Jess can't get any more loans. I rub my neck and slip out of bed to wash my face.I know Mom would love to help but I want to show her I can do this. But how? My shoulders deflate with a yawn as I push all things business out of my mind. This weekend is about spending it with Mom. I pad out of my room and stroll to hers. I promised I would be there when she woke up and Maria should be waking her up now.“Good morning,” Maria's chirpy voice sounds in the hall outside my Mom's room. “Hey, Maria.” She pushes open the door and we walk in. “What's on the list today?” I ask, moving for the curtains as she goes to the bed. “Estela wants to go outside to

PENNYWickedly smart. Insanely intelligent. Sexy and terrifying. Son of a senator. CEO of Hilton Tech and the most eligible bachelor under thirty. Christian Hilton is apparently a huge deal and now a giant wall standing between me, my inheritance, and opening my bakery. “The city’s leading man,” Jess reads off her phone beside me, then snorts. “I’ve never heard of him.” Which is the truth. He’s a stranger. An unknown and I’m expected to just marry him. I'm tempted to wonder if my mom lost her mind.Tiny rain droplets run down the car windows as I pull into a large parking lot. His office is at the top of the largest skyscraper in the city and I hope to find answers in there as to why my mom thought it was a great idea to demand such a thing from me. “But damn, he’s built like a sexy god,” Jess murmurs more to herself than me. “It doesn’t make any sense,” I say, my voice full of wariness. “Mom has never mentioned him and they did no business together.” I’ve spent the better part

CHRISTIAN Penelope Castillo. The name fills my mind with rage. I meant all I said back there and I sure as hell won't break my vow to see it through. What did she think would happen? That I'd welcome her with open arms? That I'll be glad to tie myself to a fucking nobody? Her life was over the moment I found out she's the daughter of that fucking woman! That bitch that was never far no matter how far she went. Even in death Estela is still fucking up my life. My fist clenches and releases as my anger builds like a crashing wave. “Are you really going to marry her?” Liam asks quietly, his voice pulling me back to reality in the descending elevator. My jaw grinds and my gaze hardens. “Yes. Father made it abundantly clear of the repercussions if I choose not to. And he won’t just fire us from his campaign, he’ll shut us down.” A company I built from the ground up. A place I poured my soul into. Father has some nerve. All for a fucking woman. “Can he even do that? He risks ex

CHRISTIANThe water was hot against my skin, steam curling in the air as I ran my hands through my hair, exhaling sharply.I should have been thinking about work—about the companies I intended to acquire this week, the logistics of integrating them into Hilton Tech, and the deals I needed to close.But instead, all I could think about… was her. Penelope.The way she kissed me outside in the rain. How she reached up on her toes, grabbing onto me like she had been waiting for that moment. Like she wanted me, like she needed me.I could still feel the press of her soft lips against mine, the warmth of her hands around my neck. She had walked away with that satisfied little smile of hers, leaving me standing there, drenched and speechless. I knew it. What the hell was she playing at?Shaking my head, I stepped out of the shower, drying myself off before throwing on a pair of sweatpants and a black T-shirt. I needed to stop thinking about her.Dinner should be a distraction.By the time I

PENELOPELucas’ office still smelled the same—faint hints of espresso, and the ever-present scent of old books stacked neatly behind him.He sat behind his desk, flipping through a file, dressed in a crisp navy-blue suit. He had always dressed like a businessman, but something about today felt off. Maybe it was the fact that he wasn’t wearing a tie, or that his shirt sleeves were slightly rolled up, as if he had been too tired to maintain his usual pristine look.I leaned against the desk, arms crossed. “You called me in for a meeting, yet I’m the one waiting.”He glanced up, a smirk tugging at his lips. “I was finishing up something important.” He closed the file and leaned back in his chair looking at me. “Unlike you, who’s been busy… buying cars.”My eyes narrowed. “And?”“And nothing. I just find it amusing that someone who barely drove six months ago now has two luxury cars.”I rolled my eyes. “What’s your point, Lucas?”His tone turned more teasing. “No point, just admiring your

PENELOPEThe past few days had been a whirlwind.Ever since the private tasting with the First Lady, my life had felt like it was moving at a speed I wasn’t prepared for. The tasting had been an experience I would never forget—security detail surrounding my bakery, agents stationed at every entrance, the entire street practically shut down for a couple of hours just for one meeting.And it was worth it.The First Lady had been kind, warm, and incredibly down-to-earth. She had sampled every single item we prepared, her eyes lighting up with delight at the flavors. When she took the last bite of a dark chocolate tart, she smiled at me and said, “We’re definitely going with you for the event next month.”That was it. The deal was sealed.She and I went over the menu, the expected number of guests, and—most importantly—the pay. And let’s just say, it was more than I had ever imagined I would charge for a single event.Everything was going better than I could have hoped. And yet, despite t

CHRISTIANThree weeks gone, and somehow, she was making moves without me.Not just small moves—big ones.Liam leaned against my desk, swirling his glass of whiskey, looking far too amused. “You sure you don’t want to hear the full details?”I exhaled sharply, barely glancing up from the reports in front of me. “Get to the point, Liam.”“She’s making moves without you,” he repeated. “And with your father.”That got my attention. My eyes lifted, locking onto his. “What the hell does that mean?”Liam smirked. “Exactly what it sounds like. Your wife went to the White House, met with Edward, and walked out with a five-year contract to cater for every White House event. Oh, and yesterday, she catered for the First Lady’s book club, won the entire room over, and now has a private tasting scheduled tomorrow for an even bigger event.”I sat back in my chair, rolling my jaw. Of course, she did.Liam watched me closely, waiting for a reaction. When I didn’t immediately respond, he let out a low
The Billionaire's Bargain 27.
PENELOPEThe night before had been nothing short of chaotic—but in the best way possible.After securing the White House contract and getting the invite to cater for the First Lady’s book club, Jess and I had shut down the bakery hours earlier than usual. We locked the doors, cranked up the music, and danced around like lunatics, screaming in excitement.“This is it, Penny!” Jess had shouted over the music, twirling in circles. “We’re going big time, baby! White House, high society events, next thing you know, we’ll be making cakes for royal weddings.”I had laughed, breathless. “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.”“Pfft, let me dream.” She had pointed at me, grinning. “Besides, these are high-class people. We need to do something different. Something out of the box.”She was right. If we wanted to stand out, we couldn’t just do what was expected. We had to do something bold, and that's why we stayed up all night trying new recipes and new ingredients.And today will go exactly as plan
