Semua Bab Pleasing the Billionaire : Bab 1 - Bab 10

Jamie Henderson had just arrived at one of his Las Vegas hotels, The Bay Resort and Casino, where he would be spending the weekend. He decided to take a stroll around the expensive and extravagant property to see the latest renovations that had been carried out in his absence and the first thing that caught his eye was the club building.He crossed the wide parking lot to the neon-lit club with bouncers outside. They nodded in greeting as he walked past them and into the enclosed space, which was filled to the brim with people. The first thing that greeted him was the pungent smell of weed and the boisterous cheers of the crowd gathered near the stage.His gaze narrowed as he tried to understand why there was a makeshift stage and why the crowd was roaring with excitement. But his questions were soon answered when a man stepped forward who appeared to be the host of the show in progress."Contestant number twenty is up!" he announced, and even more cheers came from the crowd as a blon

“We meet again,” the man said, reclining in the plush leather seat that was opposite her professor’s desk.“H-Hi…” Cookie said, a mask of surprise etched on her face.“It seems you’ve been destined to always be near me,” he flashed his eyebrows and a smile crossed her face, her surprised expression fading.“Or more like you’re stalking me,” she raised a brow and a wry smile stretched his lips.“But you seem to be comfortable around your stalker,”Cookie’s cheeks stained crimson because it was the truth. As creepy as it sounded that he was always near her, she wasn’t put off by it. In fact, she wouldn’t mind looking forward to seeing him wherever she went because he was a good looking man and she didn’t mind being his center of attention.“Or maybe it’s just the universe punishing you for running away from me,” a hint of amusement dripped from his words, his lips tipping in a smirk, making Cookie to blush a deeper shade of red, as she averted her gaze from his knowing eyes that were gl

“You have to come home, James,” His uncle’s heavy British accent sailed into his ears. Jamie had been about to retire to bed when he got a call from his adopted father’s younger brother, Arthur Henderson. It was to inform him that his adopted father, Edward Henderson had just taken his last breath. The news had left him devastated, opening a deep gash of wound in his heart. While he was still trying to take it on, Arthur began to pressure him to return home for the funeral and that was something he wasn’t going to do. The only man that would welcome him if he ever returned home after the six years he’d spent abroad since the incident that caused a major rift between him and the rest of the Henderson family was dead. Returning to London to be in their midst would be a death wish and that was exactly what Arthur was requesting. “I’m sorry, uncle but you know I can’t,” the words slipped through his lips, despite the lump that had formed in his throat from the news of the death of the o

Jamie’s eyes darted between a whimpering Cookie and his phone screen as it continued ringing with Chase’s name flashing on the screen.One thing was sure_if he answered the call it wouldn’t take long for his cousin to deduce that something was wrong and he was never one to lie to Chase. He’d definitely tell him the truth and Chase would find a better alternative to what he was about to do. But staring at Cookie, with her needful eyes edging him on like she wanted him to eat her whole made it very hard to make the right decision.After the second ring, the phone screen went off but Cookie’s hold only tightened on the lapels of his suit jacket with her legs that were wrapped around his waist impossibly getting tighter.“Please…” she whimpered, with her pleading gaze locked on his.A deep guttural growl rumbled deep in his chest as he tossed his phone aside and finally grabbed her arms, pinning them above her head. The lust that had been hiding within him had finally reared its head out

The question left Cookie in a state of emotional distraught as she recalled all Jamie had told her regarding the incident at the club. Thinking about it made her feel sick and dirty and she was too devastated to make a rightful decision. It was heartbreaking to know that her friend betrayed her for money and it was even more terrifying to know that Dave’s obsession to have her would lead him to such lengths. She glanced away from Jamie, not wanting him to see her vulnerability as thoughts of what could have become of her if he hadn’t shown up at that time plowed her mind. “I don’t… I don’t know what I want to do about them. I just don’t wish to see them again,” tears welled in her eyes, a sob clogging her throat as she said the words. Jamie instantly pulled her to straddle him, understanding her emotions. “It’s okay, doll. I’ll take care of it and I’ll take care of you too,” Cookie thought she felt a brush of his lips against her temple but it was so fast that she couldn’t tell if
