Bedroom Rodeo: A Billionaire Romance

by Sarah J. Brooks

  “I know. I think you and Cindy should take an all-inclusive vacation on me.”

  “Yes, I think that is exactly what we should do,” Robert answered without arguing with Drake at all.

  “I’m having a problem and would have asked Samantha, but I guess you’re up instead.”

  “Oh shit, I’m horrible at women problems. What’s going on?”

  “Who should I pair up next? I put Emily and Lauren against each other because they were both funny. I decided I liked Lauren better in the humor department. So, who should I look at next.”

  “Are you doing a bracket with your girlfriends?” Robert started to laugh.

  “Hey, don’t knock it. Do you have a better idea?”

  “Absolutely not.” Robert laughed. “I think you should pair up Victoria and Cynthia.”

  “Really?” Drake looked surprised. “They seem so much different than each other.

  Drake was trying to pair the women up based on similar qualities, and Cynthia was a wild woman with a huge personality. She was sexually wild and confident and didn’t seem all that much like Victoria. Victoria was quiet and sweet and very petite.

  “Intelligence. I think they are both very intelligent women, and their wit would give you a run for your money. I don’t know about anything else that they really have similar. But when I think of the smartest women in the house, those two are the first that come to mind. You said at the beginning of all this that you wanted to find a smart woman.”

  “You don’t think Lauren or Scarlett are smart?”

  “Oh, I’m not saying that. I’m just saying book smarts; intellectual personality types are much more Victoria and Cynthia.”

  “Well, it’s good enough reason for me. Can you go grab Victoria for me, please?” Drake asked as he made his way into the kitchen.

  All the emotions of the day were wearing him out and making him hungry. It had only been a couple of hours since they ate breakfast, but Drake needed a sandwich or something.

  As he stood in the kitchen, it dawned on him that the house was going to be really quiet the next morning. He had grown accustomed to the chatter of the women in the morning. It was nice to come downstairs and see a couple of the girls making themselves breakfast or sitting on the couch. He hadn’t shared his house much with people over the years, except for elaborate parties, but he had enjoyed having them there with him.

  “Is it my turn,” Victoria said as she slid her arms around Drake’s waist.

  Her tiny frame could barely wrap its arms around him. Drake turned around and held her close to him. Victoria was a nice girl, very down to earth and extremely easy to talk to. Plus, Robert was right about Drake wanting a woman who had intelligence. He knew he would get bored if he were with a woman who couldn’t hold decent conversations about the world.

  “I believe you bought a certain toy while we were on our date, and I never got the chance to see it,” Drake said as he leaned in and kissed Victoria.

  She thought he had forgotten all about it but was really excited to show him. Her smile flashed from one side of her mouth to the other as she looked up at him.

  “Let’s go up to my room; I’ll show you.”

  Drake swallowed hard at the seduction in her voice. He had intended not to sleep with any of the women until he had made his final decision, but Victoria was making that decision very hard. He suddenly wished that he hadn’t asked her about the sex toy she had bought on their date. It was a bad idea if he wasn’t planning on actually playing with it and her.

  They moved quickly up to Victoria’s bedroom and locked the door behind them as Victoria went through her things to find the bag that she had packed the toy into. She looked really eager to show Drake, and he couldn’t help feeling excited to see what she had chosen. For her first time in an adult toy shop, Victoria had held her own very well.

  That was one of the things Drake really enjoyed about Victoria, she was willing to go outside of her comfort zone. Sure, she didn’t have as much experience sexually as some of the other women, but she had more than some of them too. What really made Victoria stand out for Drake was her willingness to keep moving forward and trying things. He knew that she would be willing to try anything that Drake asked her to, both in and out of the bedroom. That was a pretty powerful positive trait, at least, in Drake’s mind.”

  “Close your eyes,” Victoria said, jumping up and down with excitement.

  She could hardly contain herself as she unwrapped the package and turned it on. Drake could hear the buzzing noise as he reached his hands out to try and feel it, but he kept his eyes closed as requested.

  “Is it a banana?” Drake joked.

  “You keep your hands at your side, mister. This is a surprise for you. No cheating.”

  Drake did as he was told and put his hands at his side while Victoria approached him with the buzzing toy. He couldn’t help smiling at how excited she was; there weren’t many women who would get that excited over a sex toy, especially women who weren’t familiar with them. Just another thing that made Drake like Victoria.

  Her hands started at Drake’s pants button and then she unzipped him. He probably should have told her to stop, but Drake couldn’t help himself. He was a hot-blooded American man. Was he really supposed to turn a woman down if she wanted to have him? Obviously, Victoria had to know that sleeping with her wouldn’t guarantee that he would pick her.

  As the thoughts ran through Drake’s mind, he knew it was wrong. He knew he wasn’t going to be able to sleep with Victoria, no matter what the toy was that she had there to play with.

  “Victoria, we probably shouldn’t go much further,” Drake said softly.

  “Oh, I’m not going to fuck you, don’t worry. But I do need to play with your cock.”

  Drake’s eyes shot open at her words, and he looked down at Victoria, who was just about to slip her buzzing device around his penis.

  “Wait a second. I need to see what that is you have there,” Drake exclaimed as he used his hands to cover himself.

  “Nope,” Victoria put the device behind her and clicked it off so the buzzing stopped.

  “You expect me to trust you with my manhood?” He laughed.

  “Yes, I do. Now close your eyes and move your hands, already. We don’t have all day.”

  Victoria pushed Drake’s hands out of the way and looked up at him while she waited for him to close his eyes again. He reluctantly did as he was told. But the trepidation was high as he grimaced at the thought of whatever she was about to put on him. The last thing he wanted was some hurtful device wrapped around his cock. It could pinch him, or shock him, or any number of other things. He was not comfortable at all with how things were going.

  “I’m trusting you, here. Please remember I want to have children someday,” Drake said reluctantly.

  “Oh, be quiet. I’m not going to hurt you. It’s going to feel great.”

  “Says the woman without a penis.”

  Victoria couldn’t help laughing at how nervous Drake was. He looked like he was about to turn and run out of the room as she wrapped her hands around his cock and slid the silicone ring onto the base of his shaft. When she flipped the button to turn the device on, Victoria also took Drake’s body into her mouth.

  Her eyes looked up at him as he let out a delicious moan, and she knew he was happy with the choice she had made. Slowly she moved her mouth around him, and Drake leaned back and held onto the dresser for support.

  “Shit, that’s crazy. It feels amazing,” Drake softly said through deep breaths.

  “It’s got a little buzzer up top for me to slide onto you; are you sure you don’t want to test it out?”

  “Um … I think we better not … it’s a long day … I don’t want … I don’t think … um. No, we better not,” Drake finally managed to get his words out.

  Victoria had her mouth wrapped around him and moved up and down his shaft firmly as the buzzing device played with him. Drake knew there was going to be no turn
ing back if she didn’t get that thing off of him. His body was throbbing and ready to explode already. He desperately wanted her to slide on top of him. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to fuck her. Drake just didn’t know who he was going to pick, and he didn’t want to be a jerk to her.

  “Do you like it?” Victoria said between filling her mouth with Drake’s body.

  “Fuck yeah, you should turn it off before I explode, though.”

  “That’s exactly why I’m not turning it off. You need a good release for today.”

  Drake’s mind spun with his own morals. Was it still sleeping with her if she gave him oral sex on the day he was choosing someone? What if he picked someone else? Was that woman going to be really angry at him for what he was about to do with Victoria?

  With all the questions whirling around in his mind, Drake couldn’t think straight, and his body took over. There would be no stopping what was about to happen as Drake closed his eyes and let his hands grab onto Victoria’s hair.

  Her mouth moved up and down his shaft one last time before he released all the stress he had pent up for the day. It felt like exactly what he needed, yet he couldn’t help feeling like he probably shouldn’t have done that with Victoria. Suddenly, as all was said and done, Drake didn’t think Victoria was the one at all.

  All he could think about was how Scarlett would think he was disrespectful if he chose her. Certainly, Drake didn’t know if he was going to pick Scarlett, but he didn’t think she would approve of what had just gone down, and that made him worry.

  Drake wanted Scarlett’s approval. He wanted her to be so head over heels for him that she fought and wouldn’t let any of the other women have him. As Victoria was down on her knees in front of Drake, he knew she wasn’t the right one.

  Even though Drake knew that Victoria wasn’t the right one, he absolutely wasn’t going to tell her it was time to go after she had just given him a blowjob. Instead, they cleaned up and walked back out to the patio to sit and talk with everyone else. Drake still wanted to talk with Cynthia, but he needed to take a break.

  Being alone with Cynthia scared Drake a little bit. She was a wild one, and he knew Cynthia was going to try something with him on their last one on one time together. But then again, he hadn’t thought Victoria would have tried anything at all, but she very much had. Maybe Drake didn’t know the women as well as he thought he did.

  Chapter 5

  “Finally, my turn to have you alone,” Cynthia said with a bit of a growl in her voice.

  Drake liked the zest that Cynthia had for everything she did, but he was pretty sure he was going to let her go. Of course, he wanted to give her a chance to talk so she didn’t feel like he had made his decision lightly. But Drake was on a roll, and he felt like he was getting closer and closer to his final woman.

  “I’m glad we get a few minutes alone. It feels like the tension is getting pretty intense out there.”

  “Yeah, I think poor Robert needs a raise. Every time one of the women makes a snarky comment, he’s coming to the rescue and trying to calm things down.”

  “Robert’s a good man indeed.”

  There was an awkward silence as Drake and Cynthia sat in the living room. Cynthia was quieter than usual, and Drake felt like he didn’t have much he wanted to say. He knew he had to give her some of his time, though, so he turned to the business world. Drake knew he could always talk about business.

  “I bet your employees are eager to have you back. Do you think they managed alright without you?”

  “Yeah, I’m sure everything went fine.”

  “Do you have assistants or vice presidents that take over when you’re gone?”

  “I’ve got department heads, and they manage very well. My partner is there, and he’s excellent at running things. I could take a month off if I wanted to.”

  “Wow, I don’t think I could take a month off every year,” Drake said as he admired her business set-up. “I need to do a better job of preparing everyone to run things when I want time off. This week has shown me that for sure.”

  Cynthia started to move closer to Drake, and he knew exactly what she was up to. Drake couldn’t let her take things there, though. The spark between them wasn’t nearly as strong as it was between him and a couple of the other women. Drake needed to let Cynthia go.

  “I’ve really enjoyed getting to know you,” Cynthia said as she stood up, straddled Drake and sat back down.

  “I’ve enjoyed getting to know you, too.”

  “I’ll always remember our day together.”

  Cynthia leaned in and kissed Drake. He couldn’t exactly pull away without being rude, but his heart wasn’t in it at all. Drake didn’t want to lead Cynthia on, and he finally pulled his lips away from hers. The look in her eyes said she knew exactly what was going on.

  “Will you grab my things with me?” Cynthia said softly.

  There were no tears in her eyes. She was much tougher than that. Cynthia didn’t need a man. Sure, she wanted one, but she wouldn’t lose sleep over losing Drake. It had been a wonderful experience, and she felt like her hard shell had cracked just a little bit. Perhaps when she finally met the man of her dreams, she wouldn’t be so tough around him and would be more willing to give in and show her softer side.

  “I’ll always remember our day together. Getting to know you was very special to me.”

  “Thanks, Drake. Whoever you choose is a really lucky girl. Who is it?”

  Drake had to smile at the inquisitive nature of Cynthia. She was already wondering who had beaten her out in the contest for Drake. The problem was, even Drake didn’t know who he was going to choose.

  “I’m narrowing it down in my mind. It’s difficult. I care about you all. There isn’t a right or wrong thing that anyone has done, I just want to find the woman that will fit best in with my life.”

  “Best of luck to you, Drake. I think your wife is probably among these women, and I hope I get an invite to the wedding.”

  “Well, I don’t know about a wedding. But I do think there’s a woman here for me.”

  Drake grabbed Cynthia’s bags for her and walked with her back downstairs, where they were met by Scarlett. As he looked at her standing at the bottom of the stairs, his head flipped around like there was a frog jumping around in it.

  Scarlett was wearing a beautiful white sundress with her hair left down. The brown curls wrapped around her ample breasts and Scarlett looked like she was right out of a magazine or something.

  “Hey, Samantha is back, and we are going for a walk. Just didn’t want you to worry that I had taken off again.”

  “Is everything alright?” Drake asked.

  “Yep, just bored and thought it would be something to keep my mind busy.”

  “Okay, I’ll come out and talk with Allison in a minute; could you let her know before you guys leave?”

  “Sure.”

  Scarlett made her way back to the backyard and Drake followed Cynthia out to the front of the house. Cynthia didn’t want a hug, or a kiss good-bye. She climbed into the car and waved at Drake as it quickly pulled away. There didn’t seem to be any love lost between Cynthia and Drake, she looked ready to move on without a worry in the world.

  “See you later,” Scarlett said as she and Samantha walked right past Drake and out to the sidewalk in front of the house.

  “Enjoy your walk,” Drake hollered after them.

  He half expected some sort of snide comment from Samantha, but she didn’t even turn to look at him. There was some serious girl talk about to happen, and Drake suspected some of it was going to be about him. Then he chuckled to himself thinking maybe they were just going to make out.

  After everything that had gone on throughout the week, Drake was surprised Allison hadn’t been more on his mind. She lived right there in Los Angeles, had a kick-ass body, and was sweet as could be to him. She worked with children who had disabilities, even! On paper, Allison was the perfect woman. Drake just wasn’t sure if she w
as the perfect woman for him.

  His next pairing was going to be Allison against Scarlett. Things were starting to get real for him now. With only four women left in the house, Drake was making progress on his goal of picking one of the women. He knew that there would be such tremendous relief after he finally finished out the day. It was practically the main purpose he kept moving forward. The tension he was feeling was very uncomfortable, and he needed it to go away.

  Allison, Lauren, and Victoria sat out by the pool and looked like they were in the midst of a very deep conversation. Instead of walking straight out to them, Drake watched them through the glass window. He felt proud that he had been given the chance to get to know the three women sitting out there. If he hadn’t come up with the strange idea of having seven women come stay at his home, he never would have met the women that he did.

  It made him think about life and chances and how people actually connected with each other. What would have happened to him if he had never actually met these women? Would he have wondered around single for years and years to come?

  Drake assumed he was going to find the woman he would stay with out of the group he had, but there was still the possibility that whomever Drake picked wouldn’t be the right match for him either. Then what would he do?

  Drake had to laugh at the philosophical dilemma that was playing out in his mind. He had never worried so much about his love life in all of his adult years. Maybe it was the concentrated effort of having all the women in his house at once? Or perhaps Drake was just feeling like he was getting old and needed to start making some changes, but he did want a woman in his life and hoped that whomever he picked would be the one that matched with him in the long term.

  It would be nice not to have to date any more. Sure, Drake knew that even once he found his match, he would still go out on dates with them. But he wouldn’t miss the dating scene at all. There was a constant feeling of what might be around the next corner. No one ever wanted to be happy with the person that was in front of them; instead, they pushed good people off to the side while they felt out the market to see who else might be single and looking.
