Billionaire's Intern: A Billionaire Office Romance (Hot Billionaires Book 3)

by Claire Angel

  “Yeah, I married the same girl, Annita. We broke up for a little while, but I actually missed her. It had never happened to me before. It took a while to get her to come around, but it finally did happen. She agreed to marry me, and we haven’t looked back.”

  It all sounded positive, but I had to wonder if it was really so easy to leave the bachelor life behind. Sarah wasn’t a one-hit wonder. I knew that much about her, so if I was going to go for it with her, that meant that I was going to have to come to terms with the idea of leaving the single life behind for good. Was it really possible?

  “Do you miss it?”

  “Miss what?”

  “You know, being single?”

  He shook his head. “Hell no. It was too much work for one, and I never got that much out of it. I would nut, sure, but what’s that? I can do that in the shower in five minutes. All of the wining and dining and effort that went into getting that few minutes of pleasure, just wasn’t worth it in the end. There was nothing else with it. With Annita I don’t know how to describe it, but I would rather argue with her, then go pick up strange any day of the week. I have had them all and when you know, you know.”

  It was exactly how I felt. I never did get too attached, but I had known that something was different about her. I wasn’t sure what, but that didn’t matter.

  “So, who is the lucky lady that has you changing your mind?”

  “There's this girl that won an internship from our old college. My company runs a program and I've had my eye on her for a couple of years now. Now she works with me. It is most likely going to change pretty quickly.”

  He sat back and smiled. I was feeling a little judgment, but it wasn't that hard to contend with when it was right. His round face was always a little red and there was always a smile there. It certainly didn't look like a relationship had hurt him at all. He was just as happy as ever.

  “I never thought I would see the day. I guess we all had to be tamed at some point.” I didn't like that word at all. I don't want to be tamed, and I don't know if it was because it implied that I was wild to begin with, or that a woman could so easily change that. Just because he had changed so quickly, didn’t mean that I was going to do the same thing. I didn’t need to change, not like that.

  The waitress arrived with some drinks and he was talking about looking at the menu. This wasn’t a business meeting, just more a social event, so I started looking at the menu as well. I was looking at what kind of burgers they had, when something beside me caught my eye.

  I looked over, because I couldn't believe it. Sarah was sitting over at a table by herself and I could see her profile. She had several shot glasses in front of her and it was easy to see that she had probably had one too many. There was a guy sitting down next to her and I got up, before he started to talk to her, and I had to let the jealous side of me out.

  I told Greg that I would be back in a minute and to order me a burger. I didn’t wait for a reply, not when some meathead was trying to hit on my Sarah. She wasn’t in any condition to fend him off, so once again, I felt like I had to protect her.

  I started towards her table. I really didn't have a reason to be there, but there was no way I was going to stand by, while some guy was hitting on her. It just wasn't something that I was going to be able to do.

  “Sarah?” That got her attention and she looked over at me and I could see immediately by the glazed look in her eyes, that she’d had far too much to drink.

  “Richard, how are you here?”

  She seemed confused, and the guy sitting beside her was giving me a dirty look.

  “Keep going man. I was here first.”

  “She works with me pal. There are no firsts.”

  I looked back at Sarah, ignoring the guy that thought he had called dibs. I was pissed, but I was trying to hold it together. I wanted to get her out of here first.

  Moving to help her up, the tall guy stood up and he was even bigger than I had expected.

  “I think you need to go on and worry about your own business pal.”

  “I am not your pal, I’m her boss and she’s had too much to drink. She shouldn’t be here and you sniffing around a woman like that, says a hell of a lot about you.”

  I knew that it wasn’t just because she had been drinking that I was upset. I was just mad that some guy was trying to do the exact same thing that I had been trying to do before. I think I was so mad, because I didn’t like to see her upset. I had a good idea of why that was, I had saw her face during Amber’s speech, but I could do nothing. I had stood by and let it happen, because I had to.

  This situation was not the same. I didn’t have to sit idly by, and let this guy take advantage of her. That’s what it was. It was clear as day and the audacity and plans of the stranger, were making my blood boil. Looking at the smirking man’s face, just made me want to hit him.

  He moved forward like he was going to do something and then I was pushing him back down. My hand stayed on his shoulder, and I leaned down, so that I didn’t have to talk very loudly. No one else needed to hear what I was about to say.

  “You are to get up and walk away right now. You don’t know me, and you think you can take me, but know that you won’t. This suit is tailor made, costs more than your car. I will call the police, get you arrested and then pay ten guys to take turns on you until you can’t walk, while you wait for bail to be set.”

  I pulled back so that he could see my eyes. I didn’t want Sarah to hear that. She wouldn’t believe I was that way. I wanted to keep it a belief that I was playing on the right side of the law. The truth was, I played on any side I wanted. My family had taught me that I needed to take care of things. It wasn’t that hard to see that the guy was far beneath me. I would have no trouble taking him out for good.

  “Now, how about we say good night and be on our way?”

  He wasn’t sure. His grey-blue eyes told me that he wanted to say something, do something, but I wasn’t going to let it bother me. I wasn’t going to let any of it bother me. Not today. The only thing I was worried about, was Sarah.

  The man must have seen something in my eyes, because he did just as I asked him to do. I looked down at a bedraggled Sarah and offered her my hand. I wanted to take her away from this place, even though it was perfectly fine minutes ago.

  “What has happened? You took off and now look at you.”

  She looked down and I lifted her chin up, as I moved hair out of her face. The up-do that she had going on earlier, was now in shambles. Her hair was long and fell on either side of her shoulders. I touched a few strands.

  “What am I going to do with you?”

  Sarah didn’t answer, but surprisingly, she started to move towards me. It was happening in slow motion, probably because of the buzz that she had, but I was so ill-prepared for it. I didn’t know what to do, knowing that she was three sheets to the wind.

  “What are you doing?”

  “What I’ve wanted to do for a long time Richard Grant. I have wanted to kiss you for too long. Come here.”

  Instead of slow motion, she pulled me down suddenly and I kissed her lips. Or rather, she kissed mine. Hers were soft and I could feel the texture against my sensitive flesh. She felt good. Really good.

  It took me a minute to remind myself that Sarah wasn’t in the right state of mind to be kissing me. As much as I wanted her to, and as good as it felt, there was nothing that I could do about it right now. Not when she was like this.

  I pushed her away, knowing that it wasn’t going to do me any good. I wanted to drag her away cave-man style and have my way with her. That was most likely what the other guy was thinking as well. I knew that I couldn’t do it, so tempting even a little, felt out of bounds.

  “Why did you do that?”

  She was trying to pull me back to her.

  “I need to get you back to your room.”

  Sarah pushed away when I tried to help her. “Kiss me again Richa
rd. That’s not enough. It’s not going to be enough, until you have your way with me. I bet you could teach me all sorts of things.”

  I groaned inwardly. Sarah didn’t know what she was doing to me right now. She had a devilish grin on her face, and I knew what was on her mind.

  “I want to go to your room Richard. I know that you want me. I can see it in your eyes. It’s not hard to see. Give me what I want, and I promise that I will make you feel good.”

  I wasn’t sure what to say to that. I wanted to hear those things from her, but all I could think about at the moment, was the fact that she was drunk. None of this counted. All it was doing, was driving me a little more insane. I’d had enough and I wasn’t going to be able to listen to this for very long.

  “I will give you what you want, if you leave with me now.”

  She agreed, and it didn’t matter at the moment that I was lying.

  “I can’t wait to have your hands on me Richard. All of those years of experience must have done you good. I follow you on social media. I know what you can do.”

  I just groaned again. She was saying things that couldn’t be taken back. I got her up and tried to get the conversation on something else. The last thing I wanted to do, was talk about anything sex related.

  “What has you drinking like this Sarah? This doesn’t seem like you.”

  “It’s not, but I can’t stop it now.”

  “Is this about your presentation being lost?” I had a feeling that it was, and for one reason or another, it just made me feel guilty. I should have stepped in when I had a chance. Then, this would have never happened to my girl. I should not had listened to Charles specially when it was about Sarah.

  “It’s Amber. It’s Donna, that I can’t get ahold of and really need to talk to. The fact that I live with nine other pretty horrible people. And yeah, it’s about the presentation. It sounded better when I did it. There was a PowerPoint and everything. Damn bitch.”

  I knew who she was talking about. I hadn’t realized that the presentation given by Amber, was actually Sarah’s. I know that I said I wouldn’t get involved, but it seemed rather impossible not to. Not if Sarah was going to let it affect her in such a way. I didn’t want to see her hurt and it was clear that she was hurting and that upset me more than anything else.

  “Don’t worry about any of that Sarah. You shouldn’t worry about her.”

  She gave me a look and then I stopped. Even in this state, I still didn’t want to divulge what I knew. I would have to then explain, why I hadn’t told her when she first came to me. I really didn’t want to have to do it.

  “Let’s get you somewhere where you can lay down Sarah, okay?”

  She agreed sheepishly and leaned her head against my shoulder. “I’m glad I ran into you, Richard. You always make me feel better.”

  Chapter 15

  Richard

  While it felt good that she trusted me, I didn’t know if I was going to be able to trust myself. As soon as my driver helped me get her into the back of the car. In all this, I had completely forgotten that I was here to meet Greg.

  I made a call to him and before I could explain he said, “So she is the one, Right? You are a lucky guy. Take care of her. And trust me she is in love with you, more than you are with her.”

  I was surprised at his words and his every word felt so good and soothing. Maybe he was right. Sarah was born to be mine.

  “Thanks, Greg! I will see you soon.”

  “Take care my friend.”

  I slipped mobile to my pocket and hot inside the car. The minute I was on the seat, Sarah started back into her desires and what she wanted me to do with her.

  It all sounded good, every last tantric detail, but it wasn’t the right time. I had to pull her hand off of my leg several times, my cock once. I was so hard and too horny to be touched. I didn’t trust myself to be the gentlemen that she deserved. I didn’t want to be like the guy at the bar.

  But every time I looked over, the summer dress that she had thrown on, was riding higher and higher up on her leg. How was I supposed to pretend like I didn’t see it and it didn’t affect me? It was impossible.

  When we got back to the hotel, I was going to take her back to her room, but it was right in line with all of the rest of them. Mine was around the corner and it just made more sense. I didn’t need to be seen by someone that worked for me, dragging a half-unconscious woman into my room. It wouldn’t look good and it wasn’t something that I wanted to have to explain myself.

  We got into the room, after a minute of trying to juggle her with one hand, so I could get my keys out.

  “Is it time to fuck Richard?”

  She was backing up, pulling the dress off of herself. I stopped her and pulled it back down. The curves of flesh that I had seen, were now burned into memory for life. I couldn’t get it out of my mind. I don’t know if I wanted to.

  “No, it’s not time for that Sarah.”

  “Why? I want to.”

  She was touching my shirt, trying to get some of the buttons off, but her hands and fingers weren’t working. I don’t know why she was coming onto me so strong, but it was all that I wanted, just the worse time ever for this to happen. It was like she knew that she was killing me. She had to know, didn’t she?

  “Because Sarah, I can’t enjoy you like this. You know that, don’t you?”

  She tried to get naked again, and I stopped her quickly. I was already at the edge of my rope. I wasn’t going to be able to hold on much longer. She was killing me, really, she was.

  “Let’s get you to bed Sarah. We can talk about all of this in the morning.”

  “You made me wet all day Richard, I don’t want to wait. I’m throbbing for you.”

  Her words were not helping, and I shushed her. I can’t believe that this was happening this way. I had to be mad, to tell her no.

  Once I got her in bed, my bed, I had to convince her to keep her clothes on. She had asked me so innocently and with a straight face why.

  “I won’t be able to do the right thing Sarah. That’s why.”

  She had no idea what I was talking about, but she was really drunk, and the bed must have felt good. She made a sighing sound and it looked like she was finally going to sleep. I needed her to. I wasn’t going to be able to sleep, but at least I would be able to get my head on right again.

  I hoped that once Sarah went to sleep, it would make things easier. That made sense, but that’s not the way it went at all. It turns out, Sarah really was horny, and she talked in her sleep. She looked more beautiful while she was asleep. I can’t stop caressing her soft cheeks with my fingers. She moaned out in the sweetest voice that I could imagine. It got me where I wasn’t able to think or breathe. I knew that she was just sleeping, dreaming, but I wanted to wake her up, making love to her. It was all I could think about and the more I tried to push all the thoughts out of my head, the harder it was to do it.

  Then, halfway through the night, she finally calmed down with the talking. Then she went to getting sick. She woke up suddenly and asked where the bathroom was. I didn’t know why she asked, but then I heard her in there vomiting. I couldn’t do much more, than help her up after she was done and hold her hair to the side. It wasn’t much, but I felt close to her. I was trying to figure out how all of this happened. I usually did not get myself in this sort of situations. I was not the sort of guy, that held a woman’s hair back and cared this much.

  Then again, nothing about this trip and nothing about Sarah had been going to plan. She was doing things to my mind. I was sure of it. When she finally settled back in for the rest of the night, I was left wondering what I was supposed to do.

  My member had been hard for hours for Sarah. Any other time, I would have gone back downstairs and found a woman to take my needs out on. It sounded bad, but they wouldn’t mind at all. But I knew that I wouldn’t be satisfied in that way. I didn’t want anyone other than Sarah.


  And also, I couldn’t even imagine leaving my room. She was horny and I didn’t want her to wake up and start roaming the halls. I knew that she wasn’t that way sober, but inhibitions were certainly lowered quite a bit with a little drink in her.

  I was miserable. I wanted her, so badly and I knew that there was nothing that I was going to be able to do. I had to have her and though I had the opportunity, I wasn’t going to go for it. Not here. I wanted Sarah, so badly that I was dying inside, literally, but not like this. I wanted her the right way.

  Sarah moved a bit more, mumbled and then pushed the sheets off, kicking them to the floor like she was hot. I turned the air on, just because I was afraid that she was going to try to strip again. I didn’t know that I was going to be able to handle that again.

  When she finally did settle, I felt exhausted. I had never denied myself for this long, ever. I actually was in pain and I went to take a long shower. The words of my old friend came back to me. I could finish off in five minutes. Nothing else was going to do.

  As I took care of it, I only thought of one thing. She was just a few feet away but might as well have been miles away.

  It wasn’t what I wanted, but I felt a bit more normal when I came out of the shower. I needed to rest, even if I wasn’t going to get some sleep. I didn’t dare lay with her in bed, for many reasons, but the one reason that I was worried about, was moving around too much. She wasn’t talking anymore, but without a sheet, the dress was dangerous.

  So, I pulled the sheet to me on the chair next to the bed and tried to close my eyes. I don’t think I was actually going to sleep, but I needed to at least rest my eyes. It had been a hell of a day, full of challenges.

  Chapter 16

  Sarah

  I woke up, with sunlight streaming in from the window. I immediately had to shut my eyes again. For those few moments that they were open, I could have sworn that I've seen things that I shouldn't have. I saw things that shouldn't have been there. This wasn’t my room.
