The Billionaire's Assistant: A Billionaire Romance (The Hampton Billionaires Book 4)

by Erika Rose

  His thin lips glided against her fuller ones, perfectly complimenting each other. Anna felt the burn start low in her belly, she wanted more.

  She didn’t want to be the first to touch, so with her hands still idly hanging by her side she angled her head to allow him better access, when her phone started buzzing loudly on the table.

  ‘BEEP-BEEP-BEEP’

  “Shit!” Anna said breaking the kiss. She moved towards the phone and silenced it. “That was my reminder; the limo will be downstairs in five.”

  Cayden watched her, lust evident in his gaze as it travelled over her body. He slowly wiped a thumb over his lips before he smiled smugly. “Then we’d better go.”

  “Cayden, this can’t…”

  He just nodded before turning to the door. “I know, and it won’t.” Anna heard him say as he opened the door and stepped outside.

  CHAPTER 7

  “Look Jim I’ve got four other meetings lined up over the next couple of days, and even though I want to open a Rosi’s on the West Coast, I don’t look forward to being in town that long. If you agree to my terms I can fly back in the morning.”

  Cayden knew he was pushing it, but he kept his arrogant smile in place. He let his eyes travel over the table to where Anna was and expected her eyes to warn him not to push too hard. Instead she was smiling back at him confidently before she turned to Jim.

  “Mr. Harold, we do realize you can get more rent from any other franchise you’re looking at presenting the property to, but are they offering you what Cayden is? Do you know how much one percentile of profit is for a franchise like Rosi’s?” She smirked sitting back in her chair. “Let’s just say you can triple the amount you just gave us and you still won’t be there.”

  Jim Harold clenched his jaw. He was a middle aged man, if it wasn’t for his eyes and graying stubble you wouldn’t know. His skin was golden brown from spending all his free time on a surf board; the sun streaks in his overly long hair were natural. He was also the man that owned the prime piece of property that Cayden wanted for Rosi’s on the West Coast.

  He had walked into the meeting and offered them the spot they wanted at a ridiculous price.

  Cayden wasn’t about to tell Jim that he negotiated all his franchise rent agreements to the lowest amount possible with an inclusion of one percent yearly profit. He had taken a chance the first time he negotiated this way, but it worked. This way there wasn’t a crippling rent payment on a new franchise just starting out and once the franchise became profitable that one percent Cayden paid kept the landlords on their toes.

  All his franchise properties were always in mint condition, no trouble with landlords not keeping their part of the deal, in fact once the profits started paying they did everything they could to keep Cayden happy.

  Jim sat back in his chair and first focused on Anna. Cayden could see the male appreciation in his eyes and had to force himself not to say anything.

  His blood was still humming from their kiss and watching Jim appreciate her just made him even more anxious to get the meeting over with.

  Jim’s eyes traveled back to Cayden. “So you’re saying if I agree to the lower rent, I get one percent of the franchise in LA’s profit, no questions asked, and no time limit?”

  Cayden nodded and noticed Anna winking at him. “It’s your call Jim, either you take it or one of the other four guys I’m seeing will?”

  Jim sighed deeply and ran a hand through his hair. “Fine, I’ll have my lawyers draw up the contract and send it to you.”

  Before Cayden could speak Anna answered. “And we’ll have our lawyers’ look at them before we sign.”

  Cayden stood up and held out his hand to Jim, “Thanks for meeting with us.”

  “Thanks for coming out,” Jim said and shook Cayden’s hand.

  Cayden moved towards the door and noticed Anna holding out her hand for Jim as well.

  “You’ve made the right choice Mr. Harold.” She said shaking Jim’s hand.

  Jim smiled easily. “Please call me Jim, Anna. It was hard to say no I just hope it’s going to be worth my while.”

  Anna laughed a sound that stirred Cayden’s juices again. “You did Jim.”

  Jim moved a fraction closer to Anna. “Are you doing anything tonight? I’d love to show you the city.”

  Anna’s eyes flitted from Jim to Cayden. “Thank you for the offer Jim, I would’ve loved it but we’re having dinner with the supplier tonight.”

  Jim shrugged. “Next time then.”

  Anna smiled briefly at Jim before joining Cayden. They walked in silence to the elevator. Once it opened they stepped inside and the doors closed with only the two of them inside.

  Cayden wanted to stake his claim, to let her know he wanted her but she was his assistant.

  He briefly glanced at Anna and noticed she was chewing her bottom lip. “Something wrong?”

  Cayden noticed her breathing had speeded up as her blue eyes met his. He felt his own heart start to gallop and knew exactly what was wrong. She was thinking about what happened in the hotel.

  And if Cayden was right, she was eager for it to happen again. Instead of jumping her like she expected he merely lifted the one corner of mouth and kept his eyes on hers for the entire time the elevator took to reach the ground floor.

  As the doors opened, Anna took a deep breath. “This is not good.”

  Cayden knew what she meant, but he’ll let her suffer a little longer. Besides he just had to sit through an entire meeting with a hard-on.

  “Meeting with a supplier?” Cayden asked teasingly as he allowed her to step into the glass carousel doors before him.

  They stepped out and she stopped on the sidewalk before turning to him. “I don’t think mixing business with pleasure would be good for Rosi’s.”

  Cayden caught the double meaning and agreed, but damn how he wanted to mix it right now.

  Instead of answering her he changed the subject. “You have more to offer than I initially expected.”

  Anna’s eyes grew wide at his words. Cayden laughed realizing his own double meaning as they got into the limo. Anna sat down beside him and he turned to her more serious. “You were right about the meeting, I was at my best. And the small nudge you gave him made him give in.”

  Anna beamed at his compliment. “Thank you Cayden, I was scared I stepped over a line in there.”

  Cayden smiled at her cockily, “I’d say we both stepped over the line before we even stepped into the meeting.”

  Desire hung in the back of the limo like a thick cloud, suffocating them both. They were sitting a good few inches apart but their hearts were beating as one as they watched each other, lust evident in their gazes.

  Cayden loosened the tie around his neck and calculated it would be about another ten minutes to their hotel.

  Fuck it, he thought. He hit the privacy screen button next to him. As the screen went up Anna’s eyes watched him with anticipation.

  He watched her, waiting for her to say something or to move away from him. Instead her eyes stayed on his as she glided her tongue over her upper lip.

  Without warning Cayden grabbed her and pulled her into his lap once the screen was up. She gasped at his strong hold but Cayden swallowed it before she could object.

  Her centre was aligned to his throbbing cock; she wiggled slightly and nearly sent Cayden over the edge.

  Their tongues dueled, desire fueled the battle. There was no finesse or soft touches this time, just raw hunger.

  Cayden’s hand gently stroked her cheek before traveling south, stopping briefly to caress her breast before trailing even further south. His hand pressed against her mound, she sighed luxuriously into his mouth as he started to rub the heel of his hand there.

  Cayden knew the friction would send her spinning soon.

  They were lost in each other as the limo moved through traffic, not even noticing the buildings or cars that passed them on the freeway.


  Anna’s breath became short gasps as she started rubbing herself against his hand, the wiggling made Cayden even harder.

  He felt her body start to tense as the limo came to a stop in front of the hotel. Without warning Cayden set her down next to him, rubbing his thumb over his lips.

  Anna looked at him confused, on the edge of release. “Why did we stop?” She asked petulantly.

  Cayden laughed. “I thought we’d be more comfortable upstairs,” he said pointing towards the hotel.

  She briefly glanced outside before straightening her jacket. Cayden knew he was going to have trouble walking at the moment, but he pushed out of the limo with purpose.

  They walked into the hotel without talking or even looking at each other. By the time they reached Anna’s room the tension had reached breaking point.

  Cayden pushed her up against the door taking her mouth without apology as his fingers threaded into her hair; by the time he pulled back she was breathless. “It’s your call Anna, do I stay or do I go?”

  Anna watched him, her cloudless sky blue eyes hiding underneath her lowered lids. “If you go now I might never speak to you again.” Grabbing his jacket she unlocked the door and pulled him inside with him.

  Fascinated and surprised with her determination Cayden laughed. “I’ll take that as a yes,” he said before crowding her against the wall and claiming her mouth again.

  CHAPTER 8

  Anna had never wanted a man this much before. The feeling both scared and excited her. If Cayden could make all but beg with a few kisses and slight touches what would he do if she allowed him into her bed?

  Anna relished the feel of the cold wall at her back and Cayden’s warm body pressing into her front. She felt his hands travel over her back side and was stunned as he pulled her legs up around his waist.

  His hard cock was pressing into her core, re-igniting the fire he had started in the limo. Feeling bold Anna pressed down against it as she scraped her nails down his back through his jacket.

  Cayden growled into her mouth as he took her arms and pinned them above her head. “If you touch me now I’m going to lose it.”

  Anna giggled, “I’d like to see you lose it.”

  “Not yet,” he said pressing his throbbing erection against her. He kissed her hungrily, nipping her bottom lip. The warring sensations of pleasure and pain excited her even more.

  Somewhere in the recesses of her mind, she knew this was wrong but she couldn’t stop. She wanted this, she wanted him.

  Cayden carried her to the bed gently laying her down in the centre. His eyes hungrily travelled over her as Anna noticed the bulge in his pants.

  He took off his jacket and briskly unbuttoned his shirt before pulling it off. His torso was beautifully sculpted, each muscle defined. Anna’s eyes hungrily followed his fingers as he first undid his belt, and then button and the zip. He kicked of his shoes and stepped out of his pants. A grin spread across his face as he stripped for her.

  He stood in front of her wearing only his briefs. Anna felt her head spin at the sight of his body. His thighs were thick with muscles; Anna couldn’t wait to have them between her legs.

  The arrogant smile that had become as much a part of her day as her coffee smiled down at her as he moved towards her.

  “We’re about to step over this line completely Anna, you wanna stop you speak now.”

  Anna smiled at him seductively, “and why would I want to stop when I can’t wait to start.”

  His weight settled next to her on the bed. “I thought we’d already started.” He said smugly as he started to undo the buttons of her jacket.

  Anna giggled. “My turn,” she said pushing off the bed.

  With her eyes a darker shade of blue from desire she watched him as she slowly undressed. His eyes hungrily followed every moved until she was standing in front of him in just her bra and panties.

  “Leave that.” He demanded gruffly. Anna obeyed and moved to him.

  He pulled her on top of him, her heat against his manhood. He devoured her mouth and had just started on her neck when he flipped her over.

  Anna lie on the bed, face down, and closed her eyes as she felt his hands start to trail over her back. He unlatched her bra and followed the line of her spine with hot moist kisses.

  She felt him move over her as his fingers slipped into the edges of her panties. He slowly dragged them down; Anna lifted her bum slightly allowing him to slip them all the way off.

  Her panties had just been thrown across the room when Cayden slowly pushed her thighs apart.

  Anna gasped as Cayden’s hand fell on her bum cheek. “Ouch!” She said more from reaction than pain just before she felt Cayden’s fingers slide into her wet hot core.

  She groaned at the sensation of his fingers deep inside her, flicking against the sensitive bundle of nerves. His mouth kissed the spot where his hand fell slowly before he withdrew his fingers and flipped her on her back.

  Hot and ready Anna looked at Cayden from under lowered lids. His eyes were dark with desire as he pulled off his briefs. His arousal stood proud and thick. Anna’s eyes hungrily trailed over the sight before pulling him towards her.

  “Anna, shit! I don’t have protection.”

  Anna giggled and shimmied from underneath him. “My purse.” Giddy with excitement she ran naked to fetch her purse and withdrew the foil packet.

  Cayden took it from her and placed it on the bedside table.

  Anna joined him on the bed again and he moved over her, taking his time to kiss and explore all of her. He sucked and nipped a taut nipple before giving the same attention to the other nipple.

  Anna felt herself race up the cliff towards the edge as Cayden’s lips moved down over her torso.

  She felt his hot breath on her moist curls before his tongue slid between her folds. He licked her leisurely before finding her clit and focusing there.

  His tongue flicked and circled her mercilessly, Anna felt herself dangling on the edge when he moved up her body again.

  Anna grabbed the foil from the bedside table and tore it open with her teeth, watching Cayden.

  “Fuck.” He gasped as Anna slid the condom on, her hands briefly massaging his balls.

  As soon as he was fully sheathed he nudged her legs open and teased her entrance.

  Anna nodded; she couldn’t wait a minute longer.

  Cayden entered her with a hard thrust, until he reached his hilt.

  Anna gasped at the delicious feeling of him inside her as her body accommodated him.

  He started to move, without mercy pounding into her time and time again. Anna quickly found herself on the edge again.

  “Cayden!” She called out as she felt herself spinning head first over the edge.

  She felt her body shudder through her orgasm and heard Cayden grunt before he pumped into her. Her spasms milked him dry.

  They tumbled into ecstasy together, hanging onto each other.

  Cayden pushed off Anna, lying next to her. “Fuck!”

  Anna giggled. “I agree.” She turned to see his eyes. They were bright with release and watching her intently.

  Anna wanted to tell him it was the best sex she ever had, but forced herself to keep her cool, it was Cayden who spoke first.

  “How about we get some food? I’ve got a feeling it’s going to be a long night,” he said with a smug smile.

  Anna woke alone. The sheets beside her were cool, the only evidence of their love making were the ripped foil packets on the bedside table and the delicious aching of her body. They had made love numerous times throughout the night, every time he had driven her higher, made her fall faster.

  She sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes; she lazily opened them and noticed a note on the dresser. She got up and picked it up.

  Plane leaves at 10am be ready at 9am. Cayden

  Anna looked at the note confused. No mention of their night together, of the extre
me intimacies they had shared.

  Just a note from a boss to his assistant about their flight schedule. Regret washed over her like a rip tide. What did she do?

  Last night she had offered every part of herself to Cayden, she had given him everything but her soul, only to wake up alone with an impersonal note.

  Temper pushed its way through the regret as she showered and dressed for the flight home. By the time she went downstairs she had firmly decided Cayden Lee would never touch her again.

  Until she saw him…

  He stood in the foyer of the hotel, casually dressed with that arrogant grin, his eyes shining knowingly as he watched her walk towards him.

  The memory of his touch brought a bright flush to Anna’s cheeks. How could he look at her like that after leaving her such an impersonal note?

  “Anna,” he said stiffly and quickly broke eye contact.

  “Cayden,” she said following suit.

  “The limo’s waiting outside.” Without waiting for her answer he picked up his carry on and headed outside.

  Anna followed him without a word.

  As soon as they were settled in the limo, Cayden pressed the button for the privacy screen.

  They sat in silence as the screen slowly went up. Once it reached the top Cayden turned to her.

  “About last night…” He sighed and started again. “It can’t happen again. It was probably the greatest sex I’ve ever had, but we can’t let this influence our working relationship.”

  Anna wanted to curse him, at least slap him, but she kept her composure. “Sure, it was fun.”

  “So you agree we leave the fun behind in L.A?” He asked, his brown eyes now detached and cold.

  Anna nodded briefly before turning away from him and looking out the window. Was it really that easy for him? Could he really spend the whole night in her bed, inside her and then just say it’s over?

  Deep down Anna knew this was best. She couldn’t exactly start out her career as a personal assistant by having an affair with her boss, but then why did she feel so sad by the fact that he would never touch her again?
