Brad lifted my dress. His palm connected with my ass once again. The sound of flesh hitting flesh echoed in the room.“Ouff.”Another spank.“You want to do it?” I asked. Was he going to bend me over this pool table and plough into me?Brad paused. His rough hand slid down my throbbing butt. He stepped back when I turned around to face him he cupped the sides of my breasts, his eyes boring into me.“What are you—”“Shh…”He moved closer, bending me backward until I was sprawled on my back on the pool table. Brad moved his hands down my breasts like a paint brush on a canvas. He rested his palms on my hips.“I’m not going to do anything until you beg for it?”“What?” I blasted.“Stay down Gianna.” Brad ordered.Stunned by his order I lowered myself and blinked at the ceiling. This guy had to be joking.The corners of his lips curved into a devilish grin. “Remember when you swore never to sleep with me?”“ME?”“I clearly remember how adamant you were about us not having sex. Remember ho
I woke up in a fetus position. Oh yeah, in the passenger seat of Brad’s car. Uncomfortable was an understatement of how horrible I felt. Brad reclined his chair. He had one arm folded behind his head while he stared at the ceiling. My mind couldn’t help but wonder how many girls he had in his car. It was dangerous to compare oneself, but I couldn’t help myself. I knew I wasn’t the best he had, but maybe it meant something for us to wake up together even if it was in the parking lot of a gas station in the next town.“Hey,” I whispered.“Hello, Beautiful.”“I feel like crap.”He chuckled, “You couldn’t be any more gorgeous.”“You think so?”He moved to rest on his shoulder then reach across and cupped my cheek. The usual mischief and arrogance were missing in his eyes.“Something wrong?” I asked.“Uh… Gianna.”I sat up and took his hand in both of mine. “Brad?”He pulled his hand away. He straightened his chair and gripped the stirring wheel. In all the time it took him to do that my h
“Well, Gianna seems like you got yourself in a real pickle.” Mama Helen said, placing a glass scotch in front of me.“That guy doesn’t know what he’s missing. You’re beautiful, hardworking and know the importance of family.” Greg said.I sniffled, “He didn’t really give me a real explanation.”What was I doing? Laying out all my problems to a bunch of people I’ve known for half an hour? This was an all time low. To their credit, they were great listeners. Most of what I told them I hadn’t told Lilly and she’s my best friend. It was easier to talk to strangers.Helen owned the place and Gregg and his pool buddy were frequent visitors to the place. It had been raining since I burst in here and I sat there shivering like a wet cat.“So no wedding?” Gregg asked.I took a sip of scotch and nearly leapt out of my seat. I wasn’t suited to this kind of stuff.“I guess so. I have to move back in with my mom which is awful because I only told her yesterday I was getting married.”Helen whistled
“Sydney?” I landed on the seat. “Where are you?”“It doesn’t matter where I am. What matters is what you’re doing.”I glanced at Brea. She stood in front of the door. I wouldn’t be able to run if I wanted to. She watched me like a hawk. How did this alliance even come out?“I’m getting married,” I said.“To my fiancé!”“Stop Sydney.” I cleared my throat and moved from the table and walked to the balcony door.The wedding was at Brad’s ancestral home. I had been on the first floor getting ready for five hours.“Good idea. Jump and all this is over.” Brea smiled.I scrawled and peeked outside. The chairs were set, and the alter was prepared. It was a glamorous display of pearl-white flowers hanging from the green hedges and along the plush grass. Brad wasn’t here. He slept at a hotel.“Darling sister. I can’t even give you the benefit of the doubt.”“I know Brad broke things off with you before you left. Besides what you had was just an arrangement.”“Are you telling me you and Bradley
“I can’t wait until we’re alone,” Brad whispered.“What’s wrong?”He chuckled, “I want to rip your dress off. I want your legs wrapped around my waist. I want you in every position tonight.”I blushed under all the makeup.“You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to fuck you, Gianna. I’ve been dying to taste you. To fill you up. Gosh, this is taking forever.”“Relax.” I rubbed his thigh which might have added fuel to the fire.“I can’t when I have a raging hard-on.”“Ugh, get a fucking room, some of us have just eaten.” Sadie gagged.“Didn’t your mother ever tell you it was rude to eavesdrop?”Sadie offered him a pressed smile, “Hardly eavesdropping when the microphone’s practically in front of you.”“Well, I want the whole world to know I’m a lucky man. I get to fuck the daylights out of the love of my life.”Sadie rolled her eyes. She picked up her glass and left the table.“Oh, how wonderful! It was a beautiful ceremony!” Rebecca arrived at the table with a full glass of Champaign an
“Gianna, the flight is in two hours,” Brad said.“We have time. I can’t find my other shoe.”Brad groaned, “You don’t need it.”“Ugh, I’m not going to leave it here.”We had a flight to Hawaii for our honeymoon. I couldn’t find everything I came with. I would have been done earlier if it weren’t for a couple of rounds of morning sex.“Found it!” It was under the bed.“Great, can we get going?” He sided.Brad wore a casual white shirt that he left open at the top with black pants and a pair of loafers. He nodded at the door and I sighed.“I’ve never been on a plane,” I confessed.Brad raised his brow, “Why do I find that hard to believe?”“You really shouldn’t. Until our boat ride, I had never been on a dock let alone a boat.”Brad scratched his beard. It was just beginning to grow and he hadn’t bothered to shave. I wouldn’t mind Brad with a full on beard. He was look a lot sexier and dangerous.“Your father’s a billionaire. Weren’t you entitled to all the privileges Sydney had? Your s
“Brad,” I said.He looked over his shoulder and shoved me into the hall. Who would have followed us out of an empty elevator?“Brad?” I said again to no response.“Come on Brad,” he opened the door to the room we checked back into and threw me inside.“Why didn’t you tell me the diamonds are yours?”He groaned, “Because it doesn’t matter. I would have given them to you in a heartbeat anyway.” He ran a hand through his hair.“I don’t want them. They’re causing too much trouble. All I want is to go on our honeymoon.”“Believe me my love that’s what I want too.”“Then let him have them. I don’t need them.”“No, Walter Wolfe can’t get his hands on those diamonds. They’re worth a fortune on the black market. The last thing I want is him getting too much power.”“He’s going to continue harassing me!”“I’ll protect you!” He gripped my shoulders and shook me slightly.My brows folded. I saw the turmoil in his eyes. This was what he didn’t want. I wiggled free and wrapped my arms around his to
“Where is she?” Brad demanded.His sister Sadie stood in the foyer with a glass of white wine between her fingers. I would need one of those.“In your old room changing the baby,” Sadie replied.Brad’s face went pale. He barely believed there was a baby. When he heard the little guy cry upstairs blood drained even in his hands.“Well…”“Well is right. How could you do this to me?” Sadie blasted.“To you?” Brad frowned.“You know I can stand Sydney now she calls me Aunty Sadie.”“Relax, I’m not sure the baby’s mine,” Brad said.“Of course the baby’s yours. Scared of hurting my sister’s feelings? You should be more worried about how your son will feel when he realizes his father denied him.” Sydney spoke as she descended the stairs with the baby in her arms.Just the sight of him paralyzed me. His little hand shot out from the blanket. Brad admitted he slept with Sydney so they could make a baby.“Sydney, nice to have you back. Don’t take it personally, I just need a DNA test.”“Why? I’
