The Billionaire Bargain Chapter 32: Car Ride Lingering Desire
Elizabeth didn’t protest as Henri led her out of the emergency wing, his grip on her wrist firm but remarkably gentle. The cool night air hit them the moment they stepped through the sliding glass doors of the hospital lobby.Waiting at the curb was Henri's sleek, matte-black Maybach. The second guard rushed ahead to hold the door open."Henri, wait," Elizabeth began, her voice trembling slightly as she looked back toward the hospital entrance. "My car is still in the lot, and I need to make sure Tom's transfer goes smoothly—""Greg will have your car delivered to the penthouse tonight," Henri cut in, his tone leaving absolutely no room for negotiation.He guided her into the plush leather interior of the backseat, sliding in right after her. The car door clicked shut, leaving them alone in a quiet, luxurious cocoon away from the city's noise. The glass partition to the driver's seat was already raised.Henri didn't say a word at first. He simply leaned back, his chest rising and
The Billionaire Bargain chapter 31: Emergency Rescue
When the elevator doors opened onto the emergency wing, Henri stepped out. He hadn't bothered to put his tie back on; his top buttons were undone, and his sleeves were rolled up to his forearms. Flanking him were two of his personal security detail, heavy-set men in dark suits who silently cleared a path through the crowded hallway. The hospital was boisterous with activity, patients being attended to by rushed nurses and doctors.Henri’s eyes swept the room, entirely ignoring the stares of the hospital staff, until they locked onto Elizabeth sitting in a plastic chair near the triage desk."Elizabeth," he called.She snapped her head up. Her hair was slightly disheveled, and the sight of her looking so utterly defenseless sent a sharp jolt straight to Henri's chest. The possessive anger that had been simmering back in his penthouse boiled right to the surface.She stood up, her voice a breathless whisper. "Henri? You... you came yourself? I thought you were sending a car?"Henri
The Billionaire Bargain Chapter 30: Unexpected Call
After the longest day of his life—and one during which he had gotten virtually no actual work done—Henri arrived home exhausted, hoping to see Elizabeth waiting for him.His expectations were instantly extinguished when he stepped out of the elevator into a penthouse devoid of any signs of her presence. It was already past seven, and there was no sight of Elizabeth.The empty penthouse made his skin pebble. He had wanted to see her, and he knew she was dying to be alone with him again; of that, he was certain. He could still see the excitement that had danced in her eyes at the office today… damn it. He hadn't been able to take his eyes off her all day, his hands itching just to touch her.He had wanted nothing more than to drag her into his office, feel his way up her short skirt, and kiss her lips until they were bright and red. All his thoughts were utterly consumed by her. He had barely managed to curb his inhibitions during the day.And now, he could hardly believe she was no
The Billionaire Bargain Chapter 29: The Unending Debt
Elizabeth rushed home from work in preparation for the all-nighter at Henri's apartment, her blood tingling with the sensation of his touch.Her heart beating with an unnerving excitement, she couldn't explain the thrill she was experiencing. All parts of her thirsted for his eyes undressing her, his lips kissing her, and his hands gripping and touching all her sensitive spots. She was spiraling. Her mind painted a vivid portrait of his six-foot-three, naked, muscular body. Mrs. Warren's words filtered through her mind again: Henri is a wolf, and she's an innocent lamb ready to be devoured by him. She wanted to devour him completely, and be devoured by him. Lust swelled inside her as she thought of Henri.A loud, raucous noise inside her bedroom snapped her back to reality. The sound brought a trembling to her knees. What or who could be making those sounds in her bedroom, and how did they get in?Suddenly, a terrifying realization hit her—her front door had been unlocked when she
The Billionaire Bargain Chapter 28: The boss risque office romance
They say she’s his lover…Had someone spoken that? Was she putting words and thoughts into their mouths because of her own regrets?Dragging in a calming breath, she crossed the sea of cubicles, then went down the art-packed hallway. At the far end, to the right of the massive carved doors that led to Henri's office, three identical rosewood desks stood. She slid in behind hers. The savvy Mrs. Warren, who’d been with Henri “longer than his mother has,” was quick to make her way around her own tidy workplace and greet Elizabeth.“He’s very strange today,” the older woman said, eyes wide. “He smiled at me and he said ‘thank you.’”The words didn’t diminish the kernel of fear settled in the pit of Elizabeth's stomach. If she so much as stepped out of her boundaries this week and onward... if she was fool enough to even remind him of Lyon... she dared not think of who would be sitting behind her desk next week.“Then the deal must be going in his favor.” Elizabeth attempted a teasing
The Billionaire Bargain Chapter 27: Office romance
She was tidying up his office the next morning when Henri halted at the doorway. The sight of Elizabeth fiddling with the coffeemaker froze him, then heated up his blood.As she poured a cup—black, as he liked it—the plain buttoned-up shirt she wore stretched across her breasts in a way that made watching feel like purgatory."Good morning."She glanced up with a soft gasp. "Henri —Mr. Gagnon." And there went her breasts again, swelling, pert and lovely as she took a little breath.His heart thudded as they stared at each other, the words lingering in the air. Mr. Gagnon.A word meant to erase everything that had happened in Lyon, France.Having never expected she would make it this easy, he stepped inside and pulled the doors shut behind him. "Good morning, Miss Stone."He really could do this.They'd pretended to be lovers before.Now they would pretend they never had been.Black coffee mug cradled against her chest, Elizabeth stared at him with the glazed wariness of a woman
