The Billionaire's Secret Life (Rosesson Brothers Book 4)

by Lisa Ladew

  Kate narrowed her eyes at him. “I said ‘almost’.”

  Dan’s grin overtook him and he raised his eyebrows. “It was the bullet wound, wasn’t it?”

  A thrill chased through his body as Kate crossed her arms under her breasts and cocked her head, not giving him an inch. “No, I think it was when you almost passed out on the trail.”

  “You got a thing for invalids, Kate?” Dan’s tone was dangerous, loaded. “Is that why you’re a paramedic?”

  Kate’s only reply was a quirk of her eyebrow.

  Dan reached out one hand to touch a curl of brown hair that was just brushing her shoulder. The ends danced along Kate’s skin and she sucked in a shallow breath. Dan glanced to her chest and watched her nipples tighten under the fabric of her tank top.

  His own breath stuttered and stopped for a moment. When he found his voice again, it was a low growl.

  He slipped his hand along her neck, plunging it into her hair, pulling a bit, making her eyes go unfocused as she leaned into him. “I’m feeling like I fucked up a bit. How could I make it up to you?”

  Chapter 8

  Kate’s chest heaved under Dan’s focused gaze. His palm on the back of her neck emitted heat that threatened to overwhelm her. And now she knew he wasn’t trying to distract himself from his own pain. He meant it.

  He wanted her for herself, Kate was sure of it. She uncrossed her arms, tucking her hands down by her thighs, gathering courage to say what she wanted to say. “You could give me what I want.”

  As she watched, Dan’s eyes darkened and narrowed. The hand that had been caressing her hair drifted down her arm, snagged her wrist and tugged slightly in his direction. Kate followed willingly, unbuckling her seatbelt and leaning over the console between them.

  Dan’s other hand came up to cradle her face, his thumb grazing her lips as he spoke in a voice rough with lust. “What do you want, Kate?”

  A sigh escaped her lips, the warm breath ricocheting off his hand. The words came without conscious thought. “Just you. That’s all. I just want you, Dan.”

  No sooner had the words left her mouth than he was pulling her across the interior, bringing her legs to straddle his so she could ease herself onto his lap.

  She dug her hands between them, going straight for Dan’s fly. There was a condom in her purse and no reason she could see not to do this right here. The desperation to have him inside her was a living thing, taking over her whole body. The night pressing against the car windows seemed unimportant.

  Dan’s fingers circled her wrists, tugging her hands away. Kate’s lower lip stuck out in a pout as she raised her questioning eyes to his.

  “You’re not going to be in charge of this,” he said, his jaw set, and before Kate knew what was happening, Dan had pinned both her arms behind her with one hand. The other snaked under the hem of her tank top and up her belly.

  “Jesus, Kate, your skin is so soft. And you smell like summer.” His fingers gripped her waist and wrists as he nuzzled her neck, his soft breath tickling her ears. His hand drifted higher on her abdomen, brushing the underside of her breast. Kate exhaled shakily, silently begging him to touch her harder, more, there. But he kept torturing her, infinitely patient, stringing her gradually tighter until she snapped.

  “Please.” Kate heard the whine in her voice but didn’t care. She wanted him to take her, to ravish her until she was a quivering mess. His thumb slipped higher, just grazing her nipple. She shuddered into a moan and resorted to begging. “Please. In your mouth. I… I need it.”

  She glanced down and their eyes locked. Dan’s were molten steel, the discipline it took to tease her evident. He held her gaze as he lowered his head, his teeth baring for a flash before he latched them tenderly onto her turgid nipple and tugged.

  “Ah, oh God.” Kate could feel his teeth, the sharp edge compelling her forward as he pulled. Then he released her, used his free hand to rip her tank top over her breasts, and began feasting as if he was starving and she was manna from heaven.

  Kate lost all control. On instinct, she tried to free her hands, to somehow mitigate the devastation Dan was wreaking, but he held her tight. She tossed her head from side to side, unable to absorb the sensations, loving everything about it.

  “Jesus, Kate, I love the way you feel.” Dan’s free hand roamed to her backside. He grabbed one cheek and pressed her down hard as he lifted his pelvis. Kate felt his erection throb against her and cried out.

  “I want you inside me. Please.” Her voice left her on a sob. She’d never felt this needy, this frantic, before in her life. All she could think of was what it would take to feel him filling her.

  Dan groaned and pulled back, his gaze fixed on her bared breasts. Kate looked down and saw her wet nipples shining in the streetlights. She didn’t feel an ounce of self-consciousness when Dan looked at her with that hunger in his eyes.

  “Not here. I can’t do what I want to do to you here. Let’s go home; wait until everyone’s asleep and sneak down to my room.”

  Kate’s forehead crinkled in disappointment. She swirled her hips in a tight circle over Dan’s hard shaft. “I don’t want to wait. What about a hotel?”

  He met her eye and pressed down on her ass again, increasing the friction. “Neither do I. I want to bury my cock so deep in you, I can’t find my way out. But how are we going to explain it if neither one of us comes home tonight?”

  Kate whimpered. He was right. Unless she wanted to deal with all of that, his way was best. She planted a lingering kiss on Dan’s lips and returned herself to the driver’s seat. “Fine. But you owe me an orgasm.”

  Dan turned towards her, a wicked grin on his face. “I think I owe you more than one.”

  Kate shivered in anticipation. How she was going to play it cool until the rest of her family went to sleep, she had no idea.

  But when they arrived, the house was quiet, all the lights off. She pulled the condom out of her purse as they entered through the back door, tucking it in a pocket. They weren’t stopping for anything short of a house fire.

  Kate crept to the foot of the stairs to listen. She heard the faint drone of her father’s snoring, and one of her brothers’ televisions. She turned to Dan with narrowed eyes and pointed towards the basement.

  In return he gave her that sexy smile and tipped his head, indicating that she should go first. Kate went without hesitation, skipping lightly down the steps to the small den at the bottom. She turned to watch him come down. The man was pure eye candy.

  He moved with unhurried grace, stalking down the stairs with lustful intent in his eyes. Kate felt her nipples tighten against the cotton of her tank top. Dan noticed; she could see it in the way his nostrils flared. “Get in the bedroom.”

  Kate turned, heading straight for the single door and the pleasure that awaited her. No hesitation.

  Dan caught up to her just inside. She heard the door shut as he yanked her back against him, his hands instantly delving into her sweatpants and under her tank top.

  “Time to deliver on that first orgasm, Kate.” His dangerous tone thrilled her, as if she hadn’t explicitly asked him to make her climax. She turned her head so that her temple rubbed his stubbled chin.

  “Make me.” Her mouth curved in a smirk as Dan responded with a groan and pressed his erection against her bottom. The hand up her shirt gripped her breast, capturing her nipple between two fingers and squeezing firmly.

  The hand between her legs waged a war. She felt two fingers slide on either side of her clit, down to her entrance, gathering moisture before pulling back up, exposing her. A third finger flicked at the little bundle of nerves, making Kate cry out and her stomach muscles spasm.

  “You like that? I can feel how hard your clit is, how badly you want to come, Kate. You’re so fucking wet and it’s driving me crazy.” Dan whispered the dirty words in her ear as he bit her earlobe and sucked at the sensitive skin of her throat. Kate fought to contain her moans as the sensations swirled through her
body.

  Dan used his upper hand to strip her tank top off and force her sweatpants down to her knees, his other fingers never leaving her. He was a man on a mission, and Kate was falling in love.

  Satisfied, he pulled her back once more, his jeans-clad legs rough against her naked thighs. Kate sighed and melted into his arms. “Please,” she murmured, not even knowing what she was asking for. Everything, probably.

  “Please, what?” Dan’s breath was hot against her ear, panting as his hand teased and rubbed.

  “Please make me come. Please. I need it.” Kate felt so vulnerable in her desperation. But it was true, more than the simple release of an orgasm, she needed someone to care enough to force it from her, to be so thorough he left her nowhere to run.

  “I know you do, Kate. I won’t let go until you come harder than you ever have before.” With that, his hand left her breasts and dove down to join the other. Two big fingers slid inside her, wrenching a cry from her throat.

  “Don’t stop.” Kate’s hips began to undulate on their own. Dan’s breath shuddered as she fucked his fingers, her hands grasping his forearms for purchase. She thought of the picture they made standing there and moaned at the thought.

  Dan’s chest curved away from her. Kate felt the cool air between them, then the press of hot, tender kisses on her shoulders and back. She nearly wept at the sensation.

  The ecstasy building inside her ratcheted up another notch. Kate started to feel frantic. Her muscles tightened in anticipation of a fall she couldn’t break. “So close.”

  “I know. Let it go, Kate. I’ve got you.” His perfect words sent her over the edge into an intense climax. Kate’s breath caught in her throat, her body frozen in bliss as the waves overtook her.

  They started deep inside, where his fingers plunged into her, reverberating out, gathering strength to wash over her whole body. Kate’s knees buckled and Dan held her up with his strong arms around her.

  When she recovered, Dan was kissing her back again, gently, almost reverently. His hands still moved lazily between her legs, setting off tremors like shock waves. She felt wrung-out in the most wonderful way, but not nearly done. “I want you inside me.”

  “Thank God.” She felt as much as heard Dan’s relieved exhale, followed by a chuckle and a swirl of his fingers inside her. “I’m going to explode if I don’t get in here soon.”

  Kate smiled even as her breath stuttered. “I thought the point was to do it in the opposite order from that.”

  Dan withdrew one hand from between her legs and used it to lightly slap her on the ass. “If you say so.”

  “Mmmm, I do say so.” Kate turned in Dan’s arms, stepping out of her tangled sweatpants. As he pulled off his sweatshirt, she had a moment to read the t-shirt below. A chicken with an arrow pointing to its backside and the words “Guess what” just above it. Guess What? Chicken butt. Ha! Her brother must have bought that for him.

  She stepped close, noting their difference in height as her breasts pressed against Dan’s ribs. It took only a slight bend of the neck to reach Dan’s nipples with her tongue. Kate flicked and nibbled each one in turn as her fingers worked the fly on his jeans.

  Impatience took her over and Kate began shoving denim and cotton over male hips, desperate to get to the power beneath. She stroked her hands over firm buttocks as Dan worked his pants down and off his legs.

  Completely undressed, they smiled before lunging for each other. Dan lifted Kate against him and shuffled to the bed, lowering her to the mattress and immediately following.

  Kate pulled him over her, wanting to be covered by his strength. She slipped one hand down to his shaft and gripped hard. “Condom. Pants.”

  “Yes, condom. No, pants. Ever,” Dan joked as he leaned off the bed to grab the foil packet. His lighthearted words contrasted with the scowl of arousal that darkened his gaze. He knelt between her thighs to roll the condom on as Kate caressed her breasts and slid her legs against his.

  Once they were both protected, Dan loomed over Kate, lowering his body to press against all of hers. She felt his tip nudge at her entrance and tilted her hips to increase the contact.

  “Closer.” Kate touched her lips to Dan’s, brushing them back and forth. She looked in his eyes and saw the same wonder she felt.

  “Jesus, Kate. What are you doing to me?” As Dan spoke, he pressed forward, his hard cock sinking easily into her wet channel. They groaned in harmony, Kate slipping her hands to Dan’s ass and gripping hard.

  It was all instinct then, the two of them moving in frenzied concert. Kate wove her legs around his, locking their pelvises together, grinding him deep inside. Dan wrapped his arms behind her shoulders, holding her in place for his seismic thrusts.

  They were as close as they could get to being one unit, each gripping the other tight as their bodies rocked in an intimate dance. Kate tried to stay quiet, to hold in the moans and screams that wanted to escape. She whispered into Dan’s ear instead, urging him on as he loved her.

  “You feel so good, so deep inside me. I can feel every inch of you.” She dug her fingers into his buttocks as he ground circles against her, rubbing her clit with every pass. She loved having him locked against her like this, all their flesh pressed together, dewy with perspiration.

  Dan joined in on the dirty talk, sending thrills up Kate’s spine. “Fuck, Kate, you feel so incredible. Tight and warm and wet. I never want to leave you.”

  Kate knew he was talking about her body, but a treacherous part of her wished he meant it about all of her. This man who wasn’t hers to keep touched her in a way nobody else ever had. She tucked her heart away and focused on their bodies.

  “Fuck me forever. Never stop.” She unwound her legs from his and hooked them over his hips, taking him deeper. Dan wasted no time, immediately increasing the depth and power of his thrusts, slamming into her with abandon.

  Kate felt her body stringing tight, ratcheting higher with every impact. She kissed and sucked every bit of flesh that she could reach, even biting Dan in her frenzy. He growled in response and increased his pace, pounding her like a piledriver.

  All at once, Kate’s body bowed and her neck twisted as she fell over the edge into an incredible orgasm. The feel of Dan’s cock sliding through her pulsing channel increased the sensation, sending light and shivers cascading over her whole body. She heard Dan gasp.

  “Fuck, the way you’re squeezing me, I can’t stop, I-” The groan that escaped him then seemed to come all the way from Dan’s toes. He arched into Kate and she felt his cock swell as he pumped his hips in a primitive rhythm, emptying himself inside her.

  Kate had never seen anything so compelling as Dan’s face in the throes of climax. With his square jaw and stern eyes, he was pure hot sex, but a look of such wonder took over his expression at that moment that Kate felt she was seeing straight into his heart. She had the sudden thought that she wanted to see that look every day for the rest of her life.

  Once their breathing had calmed, Dan extricated himself from Kate’s arms to dispose of the condom. She wondered if she should make an excuse to leave. Her eyes searched his face for regret, as hot emotion inside her made her wonder if she was regretting anything. What if he really was married? Then what? Him disappearing would be bad enough. Knowing that she had been cause for a married man to cheat? Shit, she hadn’t thought this through well enough.

  But Dan’s calm expression put her fears to rest. He crawled back into bed and immediately pulled Kate against him, nuzzling her neck as he spoke. “I know you have to be back in your bed before anyone wakes up, but not yet, okay? Stay with me a while.”

  Kate didn’t need any more convincing. There was nowhere else on earth she wanted to be more than where she was. She snuggled into Dan’s arms and sighed in deep – albeit temporary, she reminded herself – contentment.

  As her body relaxed, she didn’t think about all the ways that contentment could be snatched away from her. Really. She didn’t.

  Chap
ter 9

  The next few days flew by for Dan, even though he wished they’d do anything but that. He and Kate had embraced their status as secret lovers, and he wanted to say he’d never had so much fun in his whole life, but that might not be accurate.

  They found every opportunity they could to be together, from late-night lovemaking in his room to midmorning card games with her father. Dan couldn’t get enough of Kate’s sunny smile and cheeky attitude. Everything about her felt like home to him.

  It seemed odd that he should feel that way when he didn’t know anything about his actual home, but Dan didn’t have any other way to describe it. When he looked at Kate, he saw everything he could ever want in a woman. He was almost grateful for his amnesia. It was as if it gave him a clean slate to simply see her, without any baggage getting in the way.

  Dan was sitting in the living room one evening with Aiden, watching television on their night off, when he caught the scent of coconut shower gel. A moment later, Kate appeared at the end of the couch, her purse slung over her shoulder and her keys in her hand. “I’m running to the store, anybody need anything?”

  Aiden didn’t even glance away from the TV. “Nah, I’m good.”

  Dan’s dick twitched at the opportunity to be alone with Kate. “I’ll come along. I’ve been having a craving lately but I haven’t been able to figure out what it’s for.”

  Kate threw a saucy smile at him. “Definitely come along then. Maybe you’ll see just the thing you’re looking for.”

  “Bag o’ Doritos always fixes me up when I’m in that state, brah.” Aiden’s offhand comment sent Dan’s eyebrows high on his forehead. He glanced at Kate and saw she was fighting back a laugh.

  “I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks.” Dan grinned at Kate and shooed her out the door in front of him.

  She waited until it closed behind them to turn and poke her finger in his chest. “If you say I can be replaced by a bag of chips, I’m gonna kick your ass.”

  In reply, Dan grabbed her by the nape of her neck, twisted his fingers in her hair, and planted the hottest two-second kiss he could on her lips. Kate’s eyes when he pulled back were dazed. She tried to speak. “Or maybe I’ll just suck your cock until you admit how wrong you are.”
