All Chapters of The Reluctant Billionaire (The Hudson Brothers Series 1): Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

            At the church, Christopher didn’t think Selena could look more beautiful - until she reappeared by his side to walk into the ballroom at the Hudson Estate. Selena had changed into a satin formfitting white dress with a slit all the way up her thigh. The bodice of her dress was pulled back like a corset showing a respectable, yet tantalizing amount of cleavage. Her shoulders and arms were bare for him to admire. She had removed her veil letting her hairstyle show more clearly.            “Wow,” he blurted out as she approached him.            Selena bashfully glanced down. “I take it you like my reception dress.”            “I like it a lot, but I liked the other one, too,” he assured her. &

            “Excuse me, Hasnet,” Christopher said as he approached them. “May I cut in to dance with my wife?”            Selena had no idea Christopher was so protective until tonight. She found it sweet that he wanted to make sure she wasn’t overwhelmed with meeting new people.            “Of course,” Hasnet said as his white teeth appeared below his dark thick mustache. “And blessings to you both. May you have many babies,” he said with a curt nod.            Selena resisted the instant frown that wanted to show. Babies?  Having children was the last thing on her mind.            “Uh, thank you,” Chr

            Christopher knew why she had gotten up. She had inserted a diaphragm. He had felt the rim of it twice. He thought about going back to his room because he didn’t want to hover, to make her feel smothered or uncomfortable. After all, he just ravaged her like a wild animal. Christopher couldn’t help it once he was inside of her. He hadn’t slept with a woman since he had gotten engaged to her and on top of that he had been desiring her for months. Pent up sexual aggression he didn’t know he had flooded out of him and he couldn’t stop it. Yet, it didn’t seem like she minded. If anything, Selena had enjoyed the hell out it.            He raised his head when he heard the bathroom door open. She walked out wearing a white cotton robe.            “Are you okay

            Christopher had ended up staying in North Carolina for a few days. He had arrived home Saturday around five p.m. Bruce had come home two hours ahead of him on a commercial flight. During cocktails, Bruce ranted about the London deal, but he had pulled it. But, everyone let him go on so he could get the frustration off his chest. Christopher told them that they had caught the person who had made and planted the bomb. The guy was an engineer who worked for a local company. He was part of the religious group who had protested outside of the site. However, the man had acted alone without the group’s knowledge. As a future precaution, Christopher gave the foreman permission to hire a security guard to patrol and watch the site at night until construction was completed. Trevor caught Christopher and Bruce up to speed concerning the New Jersey project.          

            Five weeks later . . .             Selena couldn’t have been happier. During the past few weeks, she had acquired her dream job, which was going great so far, she had made a few new friends through her new job, her volunteer work at the soup kitchen allowed her to cook which she didn’t get to do at the mansion, and her and Christopher were getting along better than she had ever hoped.            Once she had moved into his room five weeks ago, they had made love almost every night and they talked more. It seemed like every week Christopher would tell her a story from his childhood. Some of his stories triggered memories from her past and she shared them with him in return.            As she walked
