CEO's Christmas Party: A Bad Boy Billionaire Boss Romance

by Cassandra Bloom

  “I’m surprised you came to my house.” She said, balancing on the bridge’s leftmost truss, her arms outstretched like she was a trapeze walker. I swear, she was just trying to make me nervous.

  “What did you expect? Did you really think I could stay away from you?”

  “You managed for ten years. It’s not like anything has changed.”

  “Of course it has. I saw you. Came face-to-face with the biggest mistake of my life. Walking away from you.” I said, catching up to her. “You don’t know how hard it was to keep away from you. I was scared that if I came back, I’d be ruining your life. And, to be honest, I didn’t want to know if you had moved on. At least, if I didn’t keep in touch, I could always maintain the fantasy that you were still mine.”

  She turned around suddenly. “And I would’ve remained yours if you had only talked to me if you had told me you wanted to go to the Navy. Yes, I probably would’ve tried to convince you out of it, but that’s only because I love you.” Her words felt so genuine, that they possessed me with the need to take her into my arms and never let her go.

  And, that’s exactly what I did.

  Chapter 5 (Hope)

  Before I knew what was happening, Andre grabbed me by the hips and pulled me into his body. Seconds later, his lips pressed into mine, taking my breath away. I shivered, a part of me telling me to push him away and run far, far away before he could hurt me again, but at the same time, I needed this. Needed it oh-so-bad.

  Giving in, I tangled my fingers into his hair, pulling on it slightly as I did everything I could to get even closer to him, almost like I couldn’t get enough.

  His hands slid down to my ass, squeezing it gently.

  I moved onto my tippy-toes, tottering on the edge of the beam I was standing on, knowing that no matter what happened, Andre would be there to protect me. Now that his arms were wrapped around me, I never wanted him to let go.

  His tongue pressed against my bottom lip. With my heart beating fast and my brain screaming for me to stop, I parted my lips.

  Slowly, his tongue slid into my mouth, tangling with mine, starting their erotic dance that only added to the breathlessness of the movement. Even so, I didn’t dare to pull away. Addicted to the taste I hadn’t had in so long, I kissed him even harder, both our lips burning with pent-up passion.

  His fingers tightened around my ass, hoisting me off my feet and into his arms. Before I could slip out of his grasp, his hands shifted to my thighs, adjusting my legs so they were firmly wrapped around his waist. My ankles locked around him. I certainly wasn’t going anywhere now.

  Even though he couldn’t see, he navigated himself over the bridge until we were standing on the edge of the draw bridge, where we always came when we wanted to be together.

  Gently, he put me back down on my feet.

  The moonlight was bright, illuminating every feature of his face from his high cheekbones to those dark, mysterious eyes I loved so much.

  “God, I’ve missed you…” He whispered, his hands on my hips like he couldn’t go a moment without touching me.

  “I’ve missed you too.” I rested my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

  As we lingered in this moment, it all felt like a dream. A part of me expected to wake up any second now, but I never did. This was real. Andre had finally come back to me.

  His hands moved up and down my back in a soothing motion, our bodies rocking back and forth almost like we were slow dancing to an unheard tune. He held me closer, resting his head on mine, breathing deep like he was trying to remember my scent, the same way I remembered his.

  Eventually, he pulled away, taking my hand in his as he sat down, letting his legs dangle over the edge. I sat down beside him, but soon enough, he pulled me into his lap, holding me tightly, like he was scared I would fall into the river.

  “You know, you don’t have to hold me so tight. I’m not going anywhere.” I placed my hands in his, our fingers tangling together. “Just as long as you promise you won’t either.”

  “I wouldn’t dream of it.” He whispered, his hot breath caressing the side of my neck. His lips danced against my skin as he teased me. “I was young back then, thinking that being a soldier was the only way I could prove my worth as a man. But now, I’ve grown past that.”

  “So, what does being a man mean to you now?”

  “It means keeping your promises.” He said, without missing a beat. “It means always being there for the people that need you the most. I didn’t know that then, but I know it now.” As he said these words, he squeezed my hand.

  I smiled slightly, still in disbelief that I was actually in Andre’s arms again, after all these years. It felt so surreal.

  “Do you see the Big Dipper?” He whispered, pointing up at the sky.

  “Where?”

  “Right there.”

  I followed the direction of his finger, but I still couldn’t quite make it out.

  “No?”

  I shook my head.

  “Maybe you’ll be able to see it better if you lay back.” He suggested, easing me off his lap so I could lay down by his side.

  The wood was uncomfortable on my back, but being next to Andre felt so right that I didn’t even care.

  I wanted this moment to last forever. Even if it was only a dream…

  “Do you see it now?” He asked, still pointing at the sky.

  I turned my attention upwards, mesmerized by the sea of twinkling stars. Without thinking about it, I reached for Andre’s hand, locking our fingers together as we stargazed.

  We were both quiet, enjoying each other’s company. That was always one thing I really loved about Andre. He wasn’t someone who was afraid of the silence. We could go hours without talking to each other and still feel like we had a deep and meaningful conversation.

  It was nice.

  We laid there for what felt like forever before he turned in my direction, looking at me like I was the only girl in the world. Carefully, he pinned a strand of hair behind my ear, making me shiver with an innocent joy.

  He leaned in until our foreheads touched, just looking into each other’s eyes, passing the time away. Our noses touched. The distance between our lips slowly became smaller and smaller until we were kissing once more.

  My heart exploded with the feeling as I shimmied closer to him, our lips moving in perfect sync like they were made for each other.

  He pulled me closer until I was practically laying on top of him. I sat up slightly, resting my hands on his chest as I looked down at his face. I had no idea how it was possible, but somehow, he had managed to get even more handsome over the years.

  As his hands ran up and down my body, it was like he had me in a trance. My body refused to move, even when his hands slipped under my shirt, running along my bare skin. Goosebumps covered me head to toe.

  Carefully, he eased my shirt off, laying it to the side. The way he looked at me made me feel so beautiful. His eyes ran along my every curve, drinking me in until he leaned forward, kissing my collarbone ever so slowly. Even after so many years apart, he knew exactly where my sweet spot was. He sucked on it slowly, letting his teeth nip against the delicate flesh until I was arching my back, silently begging for more. I couldn’t believe this was actually happening, that I had forgiven him enough to allow this to happen, but deep down, I knew I couldn’t keep myself away.

  We both needed this.

  His fingers tightened around my hips as his lips traveled down to my bra. He covered my cleavage in kisses before he reached behind me, popping off my bra. He was about to set it on top of my shirt, but miscalculated, dropping it into a nearby hole. It fell into the dark water beneath us.

  “Andre!” I exclaimed as I sat up and watched the river consume my bra.

  “Oh… sorry…” He smirked, flashing a set of pearly white teeth. “Did I do that?”

  My eyes widened before I hit him playfully. “You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”

  “Maybe I
did, maybe I didn’t.” He said smugly. “Either way, you’re going to have to go home without a bra. I wonder how you’re going to explain that to that guard dog of a woman you live with.”

  My cheeks instantly grew hot with the realization. “You’re the worst…”

  “Am I? Is that way your nipples are all nice and hard right now?” He asked before he reached up, taking one of my nipples between his fingers, flicking it back and forth until it hardened even further.

  I tilted my head back, moaning with pleasure.

  He continued to toy with them, pinching and pulling until they were oh-so-sensitive. Once he took them in his mouth, I nearly lost control. His tongue flicked over them, swirling all around.

  I moaned his name louder and louder, getting lost in the feeling of bliss.

  “That’s it, baby, moan my name…” His hands ran down my back, lingering for a moment before they slipped into my pants, squeezing my ass through my panties. Before I could pull away, his finger hooked into the waistband, pulling on it. As a result, the thong I was wearing dug into my flesh, making me squirm.

  He chuckled and rolled us over, dominating me with his powerful body. I shuddered, looking up at him with great big eyes, wondering what would he do next.

  After a silent moment, we started to undress each other, trying not to lose any more articles of clothing to the river. But, I can’t say I didn’t try to ’accidentally’ misplace his boxers. Unfortunately, Andre had the reflexes of a tiger.

  “Naughty, naughty. Trying to get rid of my boxers, are you?” He questioned, his voice deep and serious like he was interrogating me.

  I shook my head innocently. “No, sir.”

  We stared at each other for a moment before we both burst into laughter.

  A second later, he kissed me hard, rekindling the passion between us.

  I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him close.

  He held me by the waist, his rock-hard cock pressing against me. His engorged tip teased my eager entrance, getting soaked with my juices.

  I bit the inside of my lip, anticipating what was to come as I locked my legs around his waist, pushing my hips into the air, hoping to encourage him to stop his teasing.

  But, I had no such luck.

  With a devious grin on his face, he ran his cock up and down my slit. He reached out his hand, taking my nipples between his fingers, rolling them back and forth. My body immediately contorted with pleasure. My moans were getting louder and louder.

  “Please… Andre… I need you…” I begged, my nails digging into his back, desperate for his love.

  His grin deepened and without a word, he plunged deep inside of me, filling me with every last inch of his massive member.

  I gasped, my lips forming into a perfect little o as my body was overwhelmed with a surge of pure pleasure. I held onto him even tighter as he stayed like that for a moment, allowing me to adjust.

  When he was ready, he started rocking his hips in a steady rhythm, plunging into me harder and harder with every thrust.

  “Fuck! That feels so good.”

  He grunted with pleasure, pinning me down as he went at it even harder. I could tell by the wild look in his eye that he had lost any and all control, giving into his animalistic instincts. His cock twitched inside of me as his balls slapped against my pussy.

  Soon, it was too much for me to handle. My body started to shake, my moans growing even louder. My pussy tightened around him, trying to milk him for every drop.

  Just before I could climb over the edge, his thumb found my clit, flicking it back and forth. Even so, he never slowed down, fucking me harder and harder until…

  …I exploded in sweet, sweet bliss.

  ***

  I must have fallen asleep because when I opened my eyes, I was in his car. The feeling of the soft leather against my sensitive body made me want to stay there forever.

  His hand slithered onto my thigh, squeezing it gently. “Good morning, sleeping beauty.” He teased, his voice low and seductive.

  I had yet to fully open my eyes. I was afraid that if I did, this wonderful dream would melt away. So, I tilted my head back and stretched out my legs. It made me very aware of the wetness between my legs.

  A part of me still couldn’t believe I had slept with him. Had I made the right decision? Would I regret what I did a week from now? Fear and anxiety started to creep in, clouding my mind.

  No. I couldn’t think like that. What we had done, it was right. It felt right.

  “You know, I remember you being able to keep up with me all night.”

  “I’m a bit out of practice, you know,” I answered, crossing my arms over my chest. “It’s been a long time since I’ve done that with anyone, let alone on an abandoned bridge.”

  “Wait…” The car slowed.

  I opened my eyes to find him staring at me, his expression hidden behind the gloom of the night.

  “What?”

  “Are you telling me that you haven’t been with anyone else while I was gone?”

  I hesitated to answer, wondering if I should lie to him. Telling him the truth would make me sound like a loser. “No, I haven’t…”

  “Really?” His eyebrows shot upwards. “I’m surprised.”

  “Why?”

  “You’re a beautiful girl, Hope. One of my biggest fears was that someone was going to snatch you up while I was gone.”

  “They almost did.”

  “Oh?”

  “I had a few guys who were interested in me. Bought me a couple of drinks at the bar. That kind of thing. Hell, I even made out with a few of them, but when it came down to it, there was always something holding me back. It just didn’t feel right.”

  He was quiet for a while, focusing on the road.

  “What about you?” I finally asked the question that had been nagging at me for a while.

  He laughed. “Are you kidding? I couldn’t even look at another girl without thinking of you.”

  I was surprised. I half-expected him to have a whole list of girlfriends. “But, why?”

  “Why? Because I loved you. It took going to the Navy to figure that out and by then, it was too late to do anything about it. I figured you already hated me and I had no chance of ever getting you back.”

  I hit his arm. “You’re such an idiot.”

  “I am. But at least I’m lucky. I mean, you could easily be married to some guy. Ten years is a long time Hope.”

  “With two kids and a white picket fence, right?”

  “Exactly, and I’d be the bitter old man with two dogs for company.”

  “Named PB and Jelly?”

  “You know it.” He smirked. “Except now, I hope I can get two dogs and the girl of my dreams.”

  Chapter 6 (Andre)

  I felt like maybe I was pushing it. After all, we had just made up and I was already talking about our future together. Well, kind of. I was hinting at it, at least.

  She laughed. “What kind of dogs are they?”

  “Well, PB would be a Husky and Jelly would be his Corgi brother.”

  “What if I want a miniature poodle?”

  “You’re kidding me, right? I’m not walking around the neighborhood with a miniature poodle.”

  “Aww, come on, she would be very cute. We could get her that pompom tail and she can have a diamond collar and a matching pink leash.”

  “Nope. Absolutely not.”

  She pouted, crossing her arms over her chest. “Okay, what about a Chihuahua?”

  “A corgi is as small as I’m willing to go.”

  “A Great Bernard then?”

  “You do know those drool all the time, right? Imagine going to a fancy dinner with me, dressed in a designer gown, all ready to go, and then the Great Bernard just sniffs you… and slobber everywhere.”

  She scrunched up her face in distaste. “Wait… are you suggesting you want to take me out to fancy dinners and buy me designer gowns? You know you can’t buy my love, right?”

/>   “Of course not. Otherwise, I would’ve come knocking on your door the second my company turned a profit.”
