I owed this man nothing.
I was just about to attack him when I heard the sound of heels clicking against the boat’s deck. I was sure that Elaine was running to safety, but instead, she was running right toward us, knife in hand, jabbing it into Anthony’s side.
“Son of a bitch!” He howled, backhanding her with the gun, throwing her to the side. He pointed the gun at her fallen figure, about to shoot when I charged at him. The gun went off, thankfully missing her.
We grappled for it. Finally, I managed to grab it, so blinded by rage that I couldn’t even be bothered to shoot him. Instead, I kept hitting him with the butt of the gun, over and over and over again, until he was lying in a pool of his own blood.
Eventually, Elaine pulled me off him, holding my arm gently. “You’re going to kill him…” She whispered. I looked down at the bastard and I had a feeling that he deserved to die, but maybe, he would be better off rotting in jail. That way, his suffering would last a lifetime.
***
After spending a few hours at the hospital, we were discharged without any major injuries. It was a miracle, really.
“Are you sure you’re okay?” I asked her, gently touching her bruised cheek. “I should’ve killed him for what he did to you.”
She had my blazer around her shoulders, covering up her lack of shirt. She smiled slightly before placing her hand on mine. “You saved my life… there’s no telling what would’ve happened if you hadn’t shown up.” She stopped and pulled me closer before her lips pressed against mine.
It was the sweetest kiss I had ever experienced. I wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her even closer. Deep down, I felt a stirring of emotions like nothing else before. Usually, when I kissed a woman, all I felt was lust and desire, but now, there was something more.
Was this love?
We pulled away and I looked into her eyes, feeling like I could search their depths forever. With my thumb, I caressed her cheek ever so slightly.
“Come on, let’s go home.”
She nodded, taking my hand in hers. Together, we walked out to the car. I opened the door for her and helped her inside in my usual manner.
Once I got in the driver’s seat, I turned on the music and drove off toward my home. Elaine had never seen it before and I hoped she would like it.
During the car ride, we were both relatively quiet, probably thinking over what had just happened.
Elaine kept fidgeting in her usual nervous manner. I reached over and grabbed her hand, lacing her fingers with mine. “There’s nothing to worry about. Anthony is in custody and he can never hurt you again.”
She looked over at me. “It’s… not that… I just can’t believe I stabbed someone. It’s like… I know my hands are clean, but they still feel like they have blood all over them.”
“What you did was extraordinarily brave. I don’t know if I would’ve been able to do the same thing in your position.”
She bit her lip. “Do you really think so?”
“Of course, you risked your life.”
“Only because I thought you were going to die…” She whispered.
I squeezed her hand. Never before had a woman cared about me this deeply. I would be a damn fool to ever let her go.
Elaine was starting to look tired, her eyelids drooping, probably an effect of the painkillers they gave her.
However, as soon as we got off the highway and into my part of town, her eyes widened, her expression changing to one of pure amazement. When I turned onto my street, her eyes nearly bugged out of her head.
“You… you live here? This place is like a palace!” She exclaimed, inching forward.
“What did you expect? I’m a self-made billionaire. It’s not like I would still be renting an apartment.”
“I know… I just didn’t think… Actually, I don’t know what I thought… but this… wow…” She seemed to be struggling for words as her nose practically touched the windshield.
I chuckled at her reaction, pulling into my four-car garage.
She still had this dazed look on her face when I pulled her out of the car and into the main part of the house. “I think we should grab a nap. We’re both tired and the doctor said you might be a little drowsy from your medication.” She nodded, staring at everything with awe. “Don’t worry, you’ll have plenty of time to drool over the crown moldings later.” I teased.
Before she could answer me, I grabbed her in my arms, carrying her bridal style up the spiral staircase.
“Whoa!” She squealed before she wrapped her arms around my neck, her fingers tangling in my thick hair. “You’re strong.” She giggled.
“Of course I am.” I winked at her.
Soon, we were on the top floor. I carried her down the hallway to the master bedroom, pushing the doors open with my foot. The light from the hallway seeped into the room, illuminating some of its features from the four-poster bed to the ornate wallpaper and lavish Persian rug.
“Wow…”
I chuckled before gently lying her down on the mattress.
“It’s like laying on a cloud…” She moaned, closing her eyes.
I crawled in beside her, wrapping my arms around her body and pulling her close. We were both so tired that we didn’t even care that we were fully clothed. The second the duvet came over us and we cuddled together, we fell asleep almost instantly.
***
I woke up long before Elaine. The sight of her beautiful face as the first thing I saw in the morning was definitely something I could get used to. I couldn’t resist leaning forward and planting a little kiss on her cute pink lips.
She was so tired that she didn’t even stir.
Perfect.
With lustful thoughts already running through my mind, I started to take off her clothes, piece by piece, trying not to wake her. Soon enough, she was completely naked, her perfect body on full display before me. I ran my hands along her curves, feeling like I could just take a bite out of her. She was so perfect.
I kept the duvet over her so she wouldn’t get cold before I started to undress myself. I was about to give her an experience she wouldn’t soon forget. I gathered up the items I would need, placing them on the nightstand.
“Hmm…” I rubbed my chin one more time, feeling like I had forgotten something when it suddenly hit me.
Oil!
I grabbed the bottle and ran downstairs, popping it into the microwave so it would be nice and warm on her skin.
When that was also on the nightstand, I got back on the bed, pulling the duvet back. I took a moment to admire her body, from her perky breasts to her wide hips. I licked my lips, knowing I was about to have a fun morning.
Gently, I tied a silk scarf around her wrists, tying them to the headboard. I thought about blindfolding her, but after the experience she had just gone through, I thought it might be better if she saw me when she woke up.
I then grabbed the thin leather collar she had worn to the military ball and wrapped it around her slender neck, locking it into place. I don’t know why, but it made her look so much sexier. I had to resist the urge to plunge into her right then and there.
With her still asleep, I grabbed the oil and dripped some onto her chest, starting to massage it into her skin, until her flesh was all nice and tender.
I took her nipples between my fingers, twisting and rolling them back and forth.
Elaine started to moan in her sleep, her hips lifting into the air as her body started to beg for it. I grinned to myself, continuing to toy with her breasts as my other hand slid down to her thighs, getting them nice and slippery.
When I thought she was on the cusp of waking up, I grabbed a pair of nipple clamps and snapped them around her hard little nubs.
Her eyes shot open and for a moment, she looked scared before she locked eyes with me and her whole body relaxed.
She tested her bondage, her hands wrapping around the silk scarf. I hadn’t tied it all that tight so if she really wanted to brea
k free, she could do so.
“Leo… what’s going on?” She asked, her voice a soft husky purr.
I didn’t answer her. Instead, I pulled on one of the nipple clamps.
Her reaction was perfect. Her eyes widened, her back arching ever so slightly, her lips stuck in a cute little ‘O.’
I kept tugging on the little chain until she started to squirm. I moved down to her thighs, rubbing in some more oil. “I’m sorry but when I saw you sleeping by my side, I just couldn’t control myself. You’re just too sexy to resist.” I said, my hand moving closer and closer to her pussy.
Naturally, she spread her legs for me.
I grinned, running my finger along her already wet slit, giving her exactly what she wanted. She moaned, tilting her head back into the pillow. I teased her a bit more, my finger pressing against her eager hole before I pulled away. I wanted to keep toying with her, but at the same time, I simply couldn’t ignore the pure lust and desire that coursed through my veins.
With my hands on her hips, I pulled her toward me so her body was fully stretched and vulnerable before me. My tip pressed against her tight little pussy, teasing her with it for a moment before I thrust forward, penetrating her.
Once I felt her silky, wet folds around my cock I just couldn’t help myself. I started to pound into her hard, so hard that the bed began to rock. She screamed with pleasure, begging me for more so I gave her just that, rocking her whole world.
I filled her every inch until my cock was throbbing with pleasure. Occasionally, I would lean down and tug on her clamps, making her howl even louder.
As she reached her orgasm, her pussy tightened even harder around me, pulling me into a vice grip, threatening to milk me for every last drop. I held her tighter, my fingers digging into her flesh for leverage as I slammed into her harder than ever, my balls slapping against her.
The sounds of our ecstasy swirled around the room, getting louder as our passion intensified.
“Leo!” She screamed my name and soon enough, it was too much for me to handle.
Growling, I pinned her down, dominating her before my lips smashed into hers. With one last thrust, I forced myself balls-deep inside of her before I exploded, filling her up with my hot sticky cum.
The euphoria that rushed through me was like none other. I collapsed on top of her, instantly taking her into my arms and pulling her close, our bodies locking together like two puzzle pieces.
I unwrapped the scarf from her wrists and gently took off her clamps, eliciting some soft mewls from her lips.
She looked at me with a bright smile on her face before she cupped my cheeks and kissed me, all her passion, lust, and love pouring into me.
In that moment, neither one of us needed to speak a word. We both knew that from that moment forward, we would be inseparable.
Epilogue (Elaine)
Even though I had been together with Leo for over a year, sometimes, it still came as a shock when I woke up beside him in bed. I guess I never thought I would end up being the CEO’s girlfriend.
Turning over, I looked at Leo’s sleeping face. Usually, he was so serious-looking with his sharp features, dazzling eyes, and stern expression, but when he slept, he looked so different. His face was relaxed, making him seem like the cuddly cinnamon roll I knew he could be on occasion.
I snuggled a little closer to him, fitting perfectly against the groove of his body. I rested my head on the crook of his arm and thought about how great things had been these last twelve months.
As the memories flashed across my mind, I ran my fingers along his body. He had quite a few scars. A long one ran along his pecks, nearly all the way down to his navel, almost as if he had gone through open-heart surgery. Maybe he had. I didn’t know. On his side was another large scar that didn’t look like it had healed properly. I traced it gently with my finger, wondering what its story was.
I never dared to ask, not wanting to bring up bad memories. After all, if someone like Anthony came from his past, I didn’t think he would want to talk about it.
My fingers ran up his spine, eventually reaching his shoulder where there were smaller scars that had almost faded away. They were probably old.
I moved even closer, my lips getting dangerously close to his. I decided to kiss him.
As I did, his arms wrapped around me, trapping me in his embrace.
“Mmm…” He moaned through the kiss, his tongue tracing my bottom lip, asking for entrance. I parted my lips, his tongue sneaking into my mouth, tangling with mine.
The kiss quickly became heated as he grabbed my hair, tugging on it as he loved to do whenever we were in the moment.
Finally, when we were both completely out of breath, he pulled away. “I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of waking up with you by my side.”
“Good. Because I want to stay here for a very, very long time.”
“Until we’re gray and old?” He asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Even longer than that.”
“Until we’re both ghosts, haunting our children?”
I chuckled. “More likely haunting our cat.”
As if on cue, Frisky, our Calico jumped onto the bed and joined us. I ran my fingers along her thick fur and she arched her back, purring loudly before she looked at Leo, as if demanding him to scratch her as well.
He laughed. “Damn cat.” He scratched her behind the ears.
“You know you love her.”
“That’s right.” He leaned forward and kissed me. “I love you.”
Frisky meowed, getting bored of us. She sauntered out of the room, about to meow at the can opener until we fed her.
“How long have you been awake?”
“Just a few minutes.”
“What have you been doing? Just staring at me?”
“Pretty much.” I laughed. “Can you blame me? I sleep with a god.”
He smirked.
“But, can I ask you something.”
“Sure, go ahead.” He rolled over and pulled me on top of him so I was straddling his body.
“What’s your story?”
“What do you mean?”
I ran my finger along his biggest scar. “Like, how did you get all these scars?”
His face darkened and I instantly regretted asking the question. I was about to say he didn’t have to tell me when he shook his head. “There’s no point talking about the past.” He placed a hand on my cheek and rubbed it ever so gently. “When we have such a bright future ahead of us.”
I blushed deeply at his words.
“You know, I was going to wait and do this at the perfect time, but nothing is ever good enough, so I might as well do it now.” I watched as he reached over, opening the top drawer on the nightstand. He fumbled around, looking for something and I thought we were about to have some early morning fun since he usually kept most of our toys in that nightstand.
But, to my surprise, he pulled out a small black box. I stared at it, the realization not yet clicking in my head.
He opened it and my heart almost stopped when I saw the huge diamond ring that sparkled in the faint light that trickled in through the curtains.
“Elaine, will you marry me?” He asked, a look of utter adoration on his face as he looked into my eyes, waiting for me to answer.
I gasped, my brain refusing to work for a second.
Was this really happening? Was he really asking me to marry him?
“Yes! A thousand times yes.” I hugged him tightly, my arms wrapping around his neck. We kissed and I knew, deep down, that I had truly found the man of my dreams.

YES, SIR
Chapter 1
Veronica shaded her eyes from the sun and squinted into the clear sky. The helicopt
er hovered over the luxury yacht Diamantina off the Singapore coast. It sank out of the sky and landed on the boat’s stern helipad.
Veronica and the rest of the staff covered their faces against the propeller wash. Some turned their backs, but Veronica faced front and kept her eyes on the helicopter. Two men got out and crossed the deck toward her. They both wore immaculate black suits, but only one wore a tie. The one with the tie carried a briefcase handcuffed to his wrist and wore dark sunglasses. The other did not.
