Tied to the Billionaire(19)

“You’re staying here for the entire week?”

“Sure am.” Another grin. Wider this time and full of promise. Flames of lust threatened to consume Elena, but she fought for control and met his gaze with ease.

“Uh, that’s…” She was at a loss. Elena couldn’t decide if she was happy at the thought of spending a whole week with the sexy American she’d love to know better or completely mortified. Probably a little of both.



Chapter Three





Charles chuckled as he watched Elena stumble over her words the way she’d done years ago when they’d first met. He loved the effect he had on her. The faint blush on her cheeks went straight to his cock and he had to bite down on his lip to stop the groan that was threatening to escape. Christ, she was beautiful. He couldn’t wait to see her naked and spread out on his bed. He’d made it clear he wanted her, but he’d held off making any serious overtures because he hadn’t thought she’d been ready, not for the things he wanted to do to her body and mind. But he was done waiting.

There was no doubt in his mind that Elena was hot for him. She constantly checked him out when she thought he wasn’t looking and the lust in her eyes that was ever-present fuelled his own. Add in the blushes and how she was always so tongue-tied around him and yeah…she wanted him. Charles had to have Elena, but it was more than just a fleeting desire or the need to scratch an itch. He wouldn’t be satisfied until she belonged to him in every sense of the word. He wanted her not only in his bed, but in his life and this week he was going to make it happen—sooner rather than later.

He stalked over to her, amused when she backed away until she was nearly touching the wall.

“When are you going to admit you want me, Elena? Don’t you think it’s time to stop playing games?”

She sucked in a sharp breath and folded her arms across her chest. “You arrogant son of a…”

Elena cut off the rest of the sentence and scowled at him and damn if that didn’t turn him on more. His cock was about ready to explode. God how he loved her feisty nature. It would make it all the sweeter when she finally submitted to him.

“We’ve been dancing around this thing between us for far too long. What exactly are you afraid of?”

“I am most definitely not afraid of you!” she responded hotly.

“Really?” Charles moved closer, getting right up in her personal space then leaned in and put his mouth to her ear. “Prove it.”

He pulled back a little so that they were eye to eye, his lips a hairsbreadth from hers, but he didn’t close the distance. He wouldn’t kiss her. Elena would come to him when she was ready. Before the week was out she was going to beg him not only to kiss her but to f*ck her, to make her come. And that was going to be the best damn day of his life.

Screw waiting the week, he was going to make it happen tonight. Why drag it out any longer than necessary?

When Elena dropped that stunning pale blue gaze to his mouth Charles very nearly lost it. He had to fight with himself not to reach down, unzip his pants and do himself right. The thought of jacking off while she watched him sent another zing of pleasure through his already throbbing dick.

“Do it, Elena,” he ordered, his voice about an octave lower than usual. “Kiss me.”

She shivered visibly and the tip of her tongue appeared through her lips. Charles had to curl his hands into fists, pressing them against his thighs to prevent himself from reaching for her and plundering that goddamn perfect mouth. When her eyes lifted once again to his, they were hooded with desire. She was breathing heavily, her chest rising and falling rapidly. Elena moved in closer, but then a gasp left her mouth and she shook her head as though to clear it. She pushed him away.

“It isn’t going to happen. I’m sorry, but I’m not into…”

“Pleasure?”

Elena frowned. “Pain.”

Ah. “I would never hurt you,” Charles promised. “That isn’t what this is about.”

“Oh? Then what is this about? What do you want from me?”

Charles took a few steps back, putting more distance between them and willing his erection away. “We could be good together, Elena. You and I, we’re a perfect fit. I would take your mind and body to places it has never been before. I guess the best way to describe it is as a kind of power exchange.”

When Elena stayed silent, Charles continued, his eyebrows raised. “It’s about exploring each other, testing our emotional and physical limits, but you can be sure that I would never harm you, neither am I into humiliation. Dom/sub relationships are all about trust. You just need to let go of your fears and put yourself in my care. If you allow me control of your sexual and emotional needs, I assure you the results will be satisfying for us both. I want to pleasure you, Elena, to drive you insane with desire.”


Elena folded her arms across her chest and a range of emotions passed over her face. Doubt, confusion, disbelief. When she finally met his gaze she looked resigned. Charles wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or not. But he had needed to be honest with her. There was no point sugar-coating what he wanted from her.

“I’d be lying if I said that didn’t sound great, but I don’t know how to give up control. I don’t know if I can.”

Charles was surprised by how small and exposed Elena’s voice became when she’d replied. He had never heard her sound so vulnerable. He took another step closer.
