Joshua leaned against the door and looked at me with lust brimming over in his eyes. He reached out, pulled me to him and his hand gently caressed my face.
"You are so beautiful."
I knew I wasn't a conventional beauty but he made me feel gorgeous. My insides began to flutter as I let go and surrendered to my feelings for him. I reveled in every caress. I lifted his shirt off over his head, surprised at my bold gesture. His chiseled chest muscles rippled under my fingers as my hands roamed over his perfect physique.
His hand grasped the back of my neck, untying my bikini top, holding me tight. His eyes searched mine before his lips crushed mine, desperately searching. A small moan escaped my lips as he reached down to the hem of my cover-up and slowly slid his hand up my thigh and pulled it off over my head.
"Are you wet for me?"
Constantly. My breathing became erratic as his fingers inched toward my bikini bottom. He pulled the string open on the side and as it fell to the floor, he pulled me over to the massage table.
"Lie down on your back and spread your legs for me."
I opened my legs to give him better access. I felt his fingers graze over my aching core, I was so wet for him. I grabbed his shoulders and threw my head back as my body shuddered against his touch. He rubbed his thumb over my hardened bud as his other hand squeezed my ass. A soft moan escaped my lips as he pressed a finger inside of me. He pulled me tighter to him as his finger went deeper. My fingers dug into his arms as I moaned, my body suffused with desire. His lips trailed down my neck as his free hand kneaded the soft flesh of my breast. His thumb massaged my nipple and then his mouth dipped down and captured it. His tongue rolled over the stiffened nub as I arched my body toward him, desperate to get closer.
His finger caressed my inner walls while his thumb rubbed over the sensitive bud between my legs. I writhed around, my breath coming in pants. His other hand rolled my nipple between his thumb and forefinger, gradually pinching, increasing the pressure. I moaned helplessly, tilting my hips against his fingers. He slowly pushed another finger inside me, caressing places I never knew were so sensitive. His fingers sped up their pace delving between folds while caressing my inner walls. My body was bucking and shaking against his touch as I moaned wildly.
"You like that don't you? You're so fucking sexy," his husky voice whispered in my ear as he pinched my nipple harder. I gripped his hand with my thighs which were wet with my own juices as his fingers steadily increased their pace. His thumb pressed harder against my swollen bud and started rubbing relentlessly. I grabbed the sheets with my hands, wringing them as my body began to lose control.
"I want to feel you come." His sexy voice was the last bit I needed. My orgasm rocked my body as I shuddered and bucked against his fingers. I held a vise-like grip on the sheets as the waves of pleasure washed over me. I was panting for air as I came down from my erotic high and Joshua grabbed my bikini off of the floor.
"Close your eyes."
I did as I was told and he wrapped my bikini top over my eyes.
"Roll over."
I did and he had me put my hands above my head. The next thing I felt was Joshua tying my hands together to the neck of the massage table. It felt like he used my bikini bottom to bind me. He straddled me and let out a soft groan as he slowly glided his fingertips down my spine. I pushed my hips back against him wanting to have more contact. He left a trail of tiny kisses down my back as he kneaded my buttocks. I was desperate for more contact as I moaned with abandon and strained to press against his hard member.
A soft groan escaped his lips as he kissed his way down to my cheeks. The glorious feel of his tongue sent tingles all over my skin. He licked up and down until he made his way to the center. I felt him spread my cheeks, kissing each one before his tongue dove into the center. His tongue licked up the crease and then circled my sensitive puckered hole before pressing its way in. I moaned loudly, my wrists twisting against the restraints as my body quivered unabashedly.
I felt the padded table shift under his weight as he hopped off to grab something and hopped right back on again. I heard the condom wrapper and I knew what was coming. He must carry those things around with him everywhere.
"I'm always prepared. Lift that sweet ass up a little bit." His voice was low and gravelly in my ear. My juices were trickling down my inner thighs as I did what he said. Seconds later, he parted my ass cheeks and I felt his thick, hard length press its way into my tight, intimate opening. I moaned as he slowly pushed his way in. He wrapped a strong arm around me, continuing to slide inside me. He held me tight as he slowly started to slide out then in, stretching the sensitive skin. The sensation was almost too much but I wanted more as I pushed back against him wanting to take him deeper. I was panting and moaning uncontrollably as he moved in and then out repeatedly.
"Sexy Sarah, you're so fucking hot," he murmured in my ear, lust coursing through his voice. His thrusts were harder now and I surged forward with each thrust, my wrists delectably bound to the neck of the massage table. One hand reached down between my legs and rubbed my swollen bud relentlessly.
"This is all mine. Say it!" He thrust into me harder and I cried out.
"This is all yours," I panted.
"Say my name!" He was pounding into me now, rubbing my clit mercilessly. My orgasm was right on the edge.
"Joshua." I could barely get his name out.
"Louder!" I bucked wildly against his powerful thrusts, writhing against his fingers when I felt a finger press inside my aching core. That threw me over the edge as I screamed out his name.
"Joshua!" My orgasm exploded throughout my body, making me shudder and quake underneath him. Just as I collapsed onto the table, Joshua tightened his grip on my waist and thrust into me a few more times before letting out a loud grunt, shuddering against my back, coming inside me.
We both collapsed on the table, exhausted and panting for air. He rolled off of me, untied my wrists, and stood leaning halfway over the massage table, still trying to catch his breath. I rolled over and he looked at me and caressed my cheek.
"That was amazing."
I smiled at him. "Yes it was."
He smiled at me and then looked at the clock. "We should head back. It's almost time for lunch."
We quickly freshened up and carefully opened the door and left, making sure no one saw us leaving the massage room.
As we walked back to the pool area, I felt so happy. I wish we could have just stayed together for the rest of the day. I felt so at ease talking with Joshua. I was really falling for him and there was nothing I could do to stop it. He must feel something for me. This can't really just be about power and sex, can it?
When we joined everyone back at the pool, they were just getting ready to go to the dining room for lunch.
"Perfect timing you two. Sarah, did you enjoy the tour dear?"
I saw Vivienne give me a snotty smirk and I noticed that Ethan looked a bit upset. What is his problem?
"I did Bunny. The club is magnificent. One day I will have to learn how to play golf so that I can take advantage of this beautiful golf course."
Joshua spoke so that only I could hear him. "Oh. Are you planning on returning here one day?"
I felt slightly embarrassed. I didn't want him to think I was presuming anything but I wasn't going to play his little game. It was time we started speaking honestly. I looked directly at him and did not bat one eye.
"I hope to come back here one day. I am having a wonderful time."
He hesitated and then gave me a quick wink and a smile. "I'd say the odds are in your favor."
Did he really just say that to me? I had to quickly compose myself and refrain from flinging my arms around him. I was happy we were headed to the dining room. Lunch was a welcome distraction.
CHAPTER 5
After lunch, Joshua, Jake, Ethan and a couple of the men left for their 2:30 tee time. Everyone else went back to Bunny's house. I told Bunny I was tired and I was going to
take a quick nap. She wanted to show me the gallery later in the afternoon and said she would come to my room to get me in a couple of hours.
I took a quick shower and then lay in bed and thought of Joshua’s soft kisses and caresses. For such a rigid man, he really has a soft side. I was in such a state of bliss as I dozed off to sleep.
A couple of hours later I was awakened by a light knock on my door. Bunny! I must have been exhausted because I slept through my alarm. I hopped out of bed and quickly grabbed my brush.
"Coming!" I quickly tore the brush through my hair and grabbed my sundress out of the closet. I made myself presentable and opened the door.
"I hope I didn't wake you." Bunny was so sweet.
"Oh, not at all. I was brushing my teeth and must not have heard you when you first knocked." I felt a little guilty telling the small fib.
"I would love to show you the gallery. Would you like to see it now?"
"I would love to Bunny. I've been looking forward to it since you first mentioned it."
We walked downstairs to the gallery and the moment I stepped inside I was transfixed. Bunny had original works of Botticelli, Titian and Giotti among other artists I did not know proudly displayed on the walls.
"You love the Italian Renaissance also I see. These paintings are simply magnificent Bunny."
“Thank you dear. It was such a nice surprise to hear that this is your favorite period also. I knew there was something I liked about you. You're a very bright girl with a good head on her shoulders, I like that."
I was so flattered that she liked me. This wealthy and powerful woman, the mother of the man I cared for, liked me.
We slowly walked around in silence as we admired the artwork. I was standing in front of a work by Titian, studying the details, when Bunny walked over to me.
"This is one of my favorite pieces. I bought this when Joshua stepped in and took over the company after his father passed away. He became a man that day and this picture expresses that sentiment to me. Joshua has always been very sensitive you know. It is difficult to know that because he has such a tough exterior. But once you get to know him, you'll see the softer side." Bunny turned to look at me. "I suppose you've already seen that side of him." She looked back at the painting. "You wouldn't be here if he hadn't opened up to you in some way. I know my son. I can see that he cares for you. I have never seen him happier. When my sons are happy then I am happy." She turned to me again and looked me in the eye. "Be patient with him Sarah. He is not the type who openly expresses himself right away. It takes time for him. When he does decide to express his feelings for you, one thing is for sure. He will not waver, there will be no games."
Bunny hesitated and then lightly touched my arm. "I just ask one thing of you."
I looked at her, silently asking what she wanted.
"If he decides to give his heart to you, please protect it and cherish it with everything you have."
I was stunned speechless with the entire talk we just had… well, she had. I just listened. Bunny basically told me to wait patiently for Joshua to express his feelings for me. I really didn't know how to react but I was starting to feel extremely giddy. She seems to approve of me! Can this be real?
As I stood there dazed, not knowing what to say, Bunny looked at her watch.
"Shall we go join the others? The boys should be back from their golf game soon."
As we walked out of the gallery, I realized that I would probably remember that conversation for the rest of my life.
CHAPTER 6
The next day I woke up in a panic because I remembered that the party was the next night and I didn't have anything to wear. I quickly showered, walked over to Joshua's room and knocked on his door. When he opened the door he literally, once again, took my breath away. There he stood, hair tousled all over his head, bare chest, wearing just pajama bottoms looking sexy as ever. For a second I forgot why I was there. He smiled at me as I stood there tongue-tied.
"This is a nice surprise. Are you coming to get me for breakfast?"
"Yes, I suppose so. But I'm really here because I don't have anything to wear for the party tomorrow night." I was whispering because I didn't want anyone to hear me.
Joshua pulled me inside and closed the door.
"Don't worry Sarah. That's already been taken care of. You will receive a delivery this afternoon and you have a nice selection of gowns to choose from."
I was being so spoiled and I was starting to really like it. I enjoyed the luxuries I had been experiencing. And why not? This was a once-in-a-lifetime thing and I wanted to enjoy every minute of it.
"Thank you Joshua. I don't know how I will ever repay you for this experience."
"Just work hard and make partner. That will be thanks enough."
He held my gaze and this time I saw a new look in his eyes. I saw tenderness in his gaze as he looked at me.
"Well, I should hop in the shower. You're welcome to stay and wait if you'd like."
I decided to wait in his room for him and he seemed happy that I did because he whistled on the way to the shower. I was watching the morning news when Joshua emerged, a towel wrapped around his waist, water still glistening on his skin. My eyes roamed slowly over his delicious body. Dammit he is so gorgeous. Oh the things I'd like to do to you right now.
He caught me looking at him and gave me a sexy smirk. He walked over to me and leaned down to whisper in my ear. The smell of fresh soap and coconut scented shampoo flooded my nostrils.
"I guess you like what you see." He stood back and winked to me, grabbed his underwear from the bureau, and retreated to the dressing area. I could feel my cheeks flush as he teased me. Butterflies danced in my belly as I thought of how perfect things felt between us. I loved being there with him. After he got dressed we made our way down to the breakfast nook and joined everyone there.
Later that day I was chatting with Jake and Vivienne by the pool when Joshua told me a delivery had just arrived for me. I went to my room and there were two full racks of designer dresses for me to choose from. I stood with my hand over my mouth completely amazed. What has he done? A couple of minutes later I was still standing there looking at the dresses when Joshua sidled up beside me. I turned to look at him, gratitude filling my eyes.
"Joshua, I don't know what to say. These are all so beautiful, thank you."
"I want you to feel comfortable tomorrow night and I know that if you like what you're wearing you will be." He turned to close my door and then sat down in a chair.
"Try them on." His words were a command.
"Now?"
"Yes. I want to see each dress on you."
I chose the first dress on the rack and turned to go change in the dressing area.
"No, Sarah."
I stopped in my tracks and turned to look at him, his steady stare unflinching.
"Try them on in front of me."
I felt self-conscious because he had never seen my body in such bright conditions. The sun was beaming into my room and Joshua would be able to see every flaw. My heart was pounding as I undressed in front of him and tried on the first dress.
"Do you like it?" My question hung in the air unanswered as his eyes roamed over my body.
"Next dress." His terse tone shocked me and even annoyed me a little bit. He can be such a jerk sometimes.
We went through this routine for each dress, and each time Joshua still did not answer me. Finally, on dress number 18, he said something. It was a dark pink strapless Valentino full-length gown. It hugged me in all the right places and it was my favorite so far.
"That's it. That's the one." Joshua got up, walked over to me and led me to the full-length mirror. He stood behind me as we looked in the mirror together.
"This is beautiful on you Sarah. You look stunning." His warm breath on my neck sent tingles down my back. "One of the best hairstylists and make-up artists in the Beverly Hills will be here tomorrow to help you get ready."
He turned me around
to face him. He slowly ran a finger down my arm and leaned in to whisper to me. "I am going to have my eye on you all night. Remember, you belong to me."
I looked him right in the eye and said the words I knew he wanted to hear.
"Yes sir."
CHAPTER 7
My hairstylist did a beautiful job and my makeup artist was putting the finishing touches on my lipstick when there was a knock at my door. She opened the door for me and Joshua stood there looking gorgeous and dashing in his tuxedo. He was perfection head to toe. So beautiful. I was really looking forward to this party.
"You look beautiful Sarah." I saw the guarded yearning in his eyes and wanted to put my arms around him.
I smiled at him wishing so badly we could be a real couple. I'll just have to cherish the time we have together.
"Thank you." I started to feel nervous as he held his gaze on me and my throat felt dry. We had to get to the party or I was going to want to attack him right there in front of my makeup artist.
"Shall we go?" Joshua held out his arm for me and I happily put mine through his. As we walked down the winding staircase to the party, I felt so beautiful standing beside Joshua. My gown fell perfectly around my feet as I glided down the stairs. Vivienne was the first person I saw as we joined the party and she looked green with envy.
"Sarah, how lovely you look." Her forced smile did not fool me. I can fake it too sweetheart.
"You're too kind Vivienne. You look stunning, I love your dress." I flashed her a smile that should have won an award. "Where is Jake?"
"Did I hear my name?” He leaned down to kiss me on my cheek. “Sarah, you take my breath away. You look gorgeous."
Jake was so sweet and I could see that Vivienne was nearly pouting. She’s boring and a brat? I don't know how he deals with that.
"Jake you're too sweet. Thank you kind sir." I gave him a mock curtsy as he chuckled at me. Vivienne was now seething.
"Joshua, dashing as always."
