Masquerade (Swept Away #2.5)(12)
“Good.” He nodded and mumbled something to himself.
“What did you say?” I asked him as he started to walk away.
“I said I’m between the devil and the deep blue sea.” He looked at me for a second and then just walked away without explaining himself. I stood at the bar, leaning back and staring around the room at the different factions of people dancing, enjoying themselves, and not knowing the dark undertones of the party.
“This is it,” I muttered to myself. “Bianca London and I are on a crash course with fate.” I swallowed my scotch and felt the burn in my chest with a tinge of satisfaction and regret as I thought about the shareholders’ meeting next week. Poor Bianca London had no idea what she was getting herself into with her investigation. She was playing with the big boys. We already had her in checkmate and she hadn’t even made her first move.
Roma slipped next to me and whispered in my ear, “Penny for your thoughts.”
“I’ll give them to you for free.” I gazed down at her breasts and grabbed her arm, escorting her out of the room and down the hallway. I pushed open a door and pulled her inside, closing the door behind us. I unzipped my pants as she fell to her knees and leaned back against the door. There was a small smile on my face as I felt her mouth on my hard cock. This had been inevitable from the moment we’d both seen each other. She had been aching to touch me and I’d been more than willing to have my brother’s trophy going down on me. I pulled her hair as she sucked me off and I groaned as she took me all the way into her throat. However, my eyes popped open as an image of Bianca London appeared in my mind. My stomach rumbled as I thought about being with her on the island, just the two of us. It was a dangerous game I was playing, and I didn’t like that I wanted an opportunity to get to know her—or the fact that I wished it was her going down on me in the dark room. I pulled Roma up and turned her around, grabbing her by the waist and bending her over. I pulled a condom out of my pocket, slipped it on, and pulled her panties to the side. I entered her quickly, thrusting in and out of her, my only thought to come as quickly as possible.
“Oh, f*ck me harder, Jakob,” she cried out, and I smirked as I obliged. I could feel that she was on the brink of orgasm, but I didn’t care, as I found myself coming. I pulled out of her quickly, yanked the condom off, threw it on the floor, did my zipper up, and opened the door before looking back at her disheveled face.
“I hope you didn’t forget where you were again.” I ran my hands through my hair as I mocked her. “See you later.” I nodded and closed the door, an evil smile spreading across my face. However, I felt empty inside as I walked back into the ballroom. Something in me felt that I’d made a mistake f*cking Roma. I didn’t know why—I didn’t care if David found out. In fact, part of me would be happy if David found out how easily I’d had his girl, but I couldn’t shake the anxious feeling that was permeating through my body. I’d made a mistake and somehow it was going to cost me. The only problem was I had no idea just how much.

“I’m glad we could all do lunch,” Roma said with a calculated smile as she gazed at me from across the table.
“Yes, it’s a good idea for us all to have a talk before the shareholders’ meeting in a few days,” I said, and looked at David, trying to figure out if he knew what had happened at the ball.
“Yes, that will be good,” Roma replied, and I felt her hand on my thigh.
“Have you spoken to Larry?” I asked David, curious to know if there had been any other conversations between the two of them that hadn’t included me.
“Not since the call we all had two days ago.” He shook his head casually, but his eyes looked alert as he gazed at Roma and myself.
“You know what I wish I’d had two days ago?” Roma asked with a small smile, and her hand made its way closer to my crotch.
“No, what?” I asked, and grabbed her hand and pulled it away.
“I wish I’d had a trip to Barneys,” she said, and looked at David. “They were having a sale and I would have liked to have done some shopping.”
“Why didn’t you?” He looked bored as he sipped his wine.
“Well, I wanted to spice it up,” she said, her voice dropping to a seductive tone. “I wanted to try on some lingerie and model it.”
“Oh.” David’s eyes widened and he looked at her with a grin. “Then you should have called me, darling.”
“I wasn’t sure you would have been able to make it.” She pouted and looked at me. “I’m sure Jakob would have been able to come, though, wouldn’t you Jakob?”
“I don’t think so.” I shook my head and looked away from her. I had no interest in seeing Roma in lingerie or f*cking her in the changing room, no matter how much she wanted it.
“Oh, but I think you’d like that, wouldn’t you Jakob?” she breathed, and David frowned.
“That’s enough, Roma,” he said in a jealous tone.
“What? I was just asking Jakob if he would go to Barneys to help his girlfriend to choose lingerie, if he has one, of course.”
“Well, I don’t have one, so who knows,” I said with an abrupt smile. The last thing I needed was for David to figure out what had happened and go and ruin all of our plans. I needed him to cooperate right now and I knew that he wouldn’t be so accommodating if he knew what had gone done with Roma and I.
