Billionaire Romance Box Set: Weeks Complete Collection: Weeks Romance Series - The Complete Collection

“Nightstand,” she said breathlessly as she motioned with her eyes.

  Bronx reached in with one hand, pulled out a long strip of condoms and threw them on the bed next to Rose. She couldn’t help laughing at his cheeky grin. He obviously thought he was staying much longer than Rose planned for him to be in her bed, but she wasn’t going to ruin his anticipation.

  “That should be enough,” he joked.

  She rolled her eyes at his humor. It was so fun to have a guy with confidence in bed with her. She liked that she could hold such power over a man who undoubtedly got every woman he went after. It was empowering to her when she realized how much control she could hold over a man who normally held the control.

  “I should hope so.”

  He continued to hold her thighs apart, and Rose started to get uncomfortable. He was making her feel vulnerable, and she absolutely wasn’t going to have any more of it. She licked her lips as she looked at his pulsing member and then slowly let her eyes run up to meet his. Rose wanted to taste him; she wanted to feel in control again, and at that moment, Bronx had all the control.

  He kneeled onto the bed and then started to kiss her toes. Rose couldn’t help rolling her eyes at the move. Didn’t he know she was a sure thing? He didn’t have to try and seduce her with all the kissing. He just needed to bring her some orgasms.

  Slowly, oh so painfully slowly, Bronx made his way up her legs and to her center. She gave into his touch and wrapped her fingers in the sheets as the sweet feeling of his tongue moved on her. He was insistent on making her cum again, and Rose wasn’t going to argue. She let herself be in the moment, feeling every flick and move he made until her muscles started to tighten and she felt the rising of her orgasm take over her body.

  As she released, Rose used her feet and pressed Bronx away from her and back onto the bed. She reached over, ripped open a condom and slid it over him as her green eyes looked up at his smiling face.

  The way he looked at her with a cocky grin that filled his face, it was cute as hell. She smiled up at him as she straddled his member and let him slide inside of her. Their bodies worked well together—his hands holding her hips as she moved, and his pelvis thrusting up inside of her.

  Within a few minutes, they were both covered in sweat. Bronx grabbed her and turned her over onto the bed so he could be in control again. She could tell that was where he liked to be, which was alright with Rose as long as he continued to keep the pleasure coming.

  “You’re so beautiful,” he whispered as his body descended closely on top of hers.

  He let his hand play with her hair as he held himself up on the other arm. Rose grabbed his biceps and wrapped her fingers around them. Bronx was a well-built man, and handsome as hell; it was too bad she would never see him again.

  “Thank you,” Rose softly answered him.

  “Why me? Out of all the guys in this city, why’d you choose me?”

  “You rescued me. I’m a sucker for a hero.”

  Rose pulled Bronx toward her and kissed him roughly as she thrust her pelvis toward him. She was done talking, and it was time for him to get back to work.

  Bronx moved firmly into her, each thrust bringing pleasure that Rose needed. She had become so use to having a boy toy around on the weekends, it was her favorite way to unwind. His movements came harder and harder, and he stopped kissing her so he could concentrate on his own pleasure.

  Rose smiled as she watched his face change from pleasure to that familiar look of pain. A man’s body always went through a little pain as the buildup of explosion tortured them. Rose enjoyed that look so much. She enjoyed a lot of things about men in her bed, but the tortured look before an orgasm was one of her favorites.

  Harder and harder his thrusts pulsed through her body, and she urged him on with her hips. More. Faster. She wanted to feel his final thrust as his body gave in to the seductive powers she had over him.

  “Oh, fuck!” Bronx screamed out as he released his body.

  Rose latched onto him and gave him a few more thrusts of her hips before pulling his body down on top of hers.

  One, two, three …

  She counted in her head up to one hundred before gently sliding him off of her and climbing out of the bed. She grabbed a silk robe that was hanging off the edge of the bed and wrapped it around her slim body before she turned back to look at Bronx.

  His deliciously tan body was spread out on her bed in exhaustion from his efforts. Damn, he was fun to play with, but Rose had rules. They were rules she had put into place to ensure nothing got messy or out of hand for her. They were rules she had to make to ensure she didn’t become attached to one of her delicious play toys. But they were rules she sometimes wanted to break.

  “Feel free to grab yourself a drink from the fridge if you’d like before you leave,” Rose said as she climbed back into the bed and gave Bronx a soft kiss. “I’m hopping in the shower. It was fun.

  The look of total shock on Bronx’s face was another of the things she had come to really enjoy seeing. The men she invited to her house never expected that she was going to kick them out after making love to them. Most of the men were hot enough that they probably had never been kicked out of a woman’s bed in their entire life. But it gave Rose power to control when they came to her and when they left. If she had the power, then she didn’t have to worry about things getting out of control.

  “Are you serious?” Bronx laughed.

  “Oh, yes. Dead serious, darling. But it sure was fun. You can leave your number for me if you’d like.”

  Rose smiled and shut the bathroom door behind her, making sure to lock it. One time she hadn’t locked it and her young toy for the night surprised her in the shower for another round of fun. She didn’t turn him down, of course, but she felt way too out of control.

  It would take him about fifteen minutes to realize she wasn’t coming out of the shower and then another ten or so to leave the apartment. Rose had the timing down to a science, and she enjoyed her long hot shower while she waited for him to exit her apartment. She put an avocado peel on her face, shaved her legs, and did her favorite vanilla body scrub all over her body. Thirty minutes later, she exited the bathroom and made a quick tour of her apartment to make sure Bronx had disappeared.

  She locked the front door and walked into the kitchen to read the note he had left with his number. It was always interesting to see what men wrote when their ego had been totally destroyed. She had expected a few of the guys to leave without writing a note, or to leave a nasty message, but she was always surprised. The men always left their number and always tried gallantly not to show how much she had crushed their ego.

  “Meet you next weekend at the zip lines – Bronx,” the note read.

  It was a first for her. Not only had he told her to meet him somewhere; he hadn’t included a phone number at all. She smiled at the note as she ripped it up and threw it in the trash. She wouldn’t be meeting him at the zip lines. Rose wouldn’t be seeing Bronx ever again.

  17. Chapter 4

  After a day of rest on Sunday, Rose woke up Monday morning ready to take on her new life. She had applied to law school two years after her husband’s death, purely as something to keep herself busy with while she tried to figure out what she wanted to do.

  School had been a great distraction. The studying kept her mind busy, and the younger crowd of people didn’t know her at all, so it wasn’t hard to hang out with them. Rose excelled at school and graduated at the top of her class. But when she started looking for jobs, she found that people weren’t too keen on hiring a first-year law student that was almost thirty years old. It probably didn’t help that Rose had a stern look about her and didn’t appear to be the type that would listen to direction very well.

  Rose wasn’t even sure she wanted to be a lawyer. She was interested in the law, and school had come very easily to her, but she didn’t have a passion for it like other kids in her class did. She continued through the classes, though, because she had noth
ing better to do with her time, and if she hadn’t been in school, she would have been at home wallowing in her sorrows, and that seemed like a worse option than going to school.

  The freedom of college was much different for her as she entered law school. When she had been an undergrad, Derek had been there with her. She never had to eat lunch alone. She never had to socialize with people alone, they did almost everything together. So as she entered law school as a widow, it was painfully hard for her to interact with people.

  Somewhere along the line, she realized she could pretend to have confidence and flirt with the guys, and it filled a void for her. The meaningless sex made her feel powerful, and she found herself bringing delicious boy toys home a couple times a month. They typically weren’t from her field of study and were just sweet looking guys she met on campus, so she was able to disappear from their lives after seeing them. Rose didn’t want a relationship; she wanted the pain of her life to go away.

  The longer she kept up with her acting, the better she got at pretending to be just fine. Sooner or later, the people in her life started to believe that she was actually getting over the loss of her husband, although Rose couldn’t imagine she would ever actually be able to get over losing him.

  She didn’t want to accept Noah’s job offer at first, but after weeks of interviewing, she had to take it. It wasn’t that she didn’t appreciate his offer, but Rose wanted to have a fresh start. She had been looking forward to working in a firm where no one knew her. But the problem with that was no one wanted her. Taking a job with Noah certainly wasn’t the end of the world. He was a nice person, and she knew the firm well from their conversations together. Rose knew she would be treated with respect and given every opportunity to learn and grow, and in the end, she decided that was worth more than having a fresh start.

  Noah hired Rose without an interview and without running it past Elaine at all. So when Rose showed up that Monday morning, she was supposed to go straight to Noah’s office so he could introduce her to Elaine. The idea that he hadn’t even talked over her hiring with Elaine made Rose nervous and gave her an unsettled feeling. What if Elaine decided she didn’t want Rose to work there? What if Elaine hated Rose and made her life a living hell? Rose couldn’t help letting her anxiety take over as she thought about sitting down and being introduced to Elaine.

  Elaine Wolfe was known all over Washington D.C. as one of the most ruthless lawyers there was. She had a winning record that beat out even more seasoned lawyers who were in their seventies. Rose was scared of her; everyone was scared of her. But Elaine Wolfe had a lot she could teach Rose, and Rose was going to pay attention to everything she could learn. Elaine knew the law and knew how Washington D.C. law worked; she was a good ally to have, and Rose was going to do her best to get on Elaine’s good side.

  Rose put on a black Channel pantsuit with a crisp white blouse under it. She was intent on looking as professional as any of the men in the firm, and she wanted Elaine to take her seriously. Rose knew enough about powerful women to know that she needed to get on Elaine’s good side right away and hoped that her stylish and sophisticated outfit would help to win Elaine over.

  As directed, Rose walked in the front doors, told the secretary who she was and that she needed to go to Noah’s office. The blonde haired, big breasted woman was dressed in a light pink suit with her tits barely holding inside her blouse; certainly not appropriate workplace attire. The woman looked like she was straight out of a movie scene, but Rose did her best not to stare at the woman’s obvious enhancements.

  The busty blonde called Noah, who was down at the main desk within a minute to take Rose to his office. His navy pinstripe suit fit him impeccably, and Rose couldn’t help wondering how Noah wasn’t off the market yet. With a quick glance around the office, she saw that there were plenty of beautiful women there, but then again he probably wasn’t allowed to hit on them since he was the boss.

  “Okay, so I talked to Elaine about you. She’s excited to have you. We will go in and meet with her briefly, and then I’ll introduce you to the other first years. There are three guys so Elaine is excited to have a woman. She would have rather picked you herself, but I told her your story, and she’s eager to meet you.”

  “Aw, man, you told her everything?”

  “Yeah, why? Was it a secret?”

  “No, not from her I guess. But don’t go around telling everyone that you know me or that you knew my husband. I’m trying to have a fresh start here. I just want to be one of the newbies.”

  “Does that mean I can give you all the hard cases that I think I’ll lose?” Noah joked.

  “Yes. I welcome the hard cases.”

  “There’s a good inappropriate joke here, but I’ll keep it to myself.” Noah grinned.

  They stood in front of Elaine’s office for a minute while she finished up a phone call and then waved them in. Elaine was dressed in a stunning plum-colored skirt suit and a dazzling low cut blouse. Rose admired the outfit and thought it was beautiful, but she didn’t think it would have been appropriate for the head of a law firm to wear. Nothing like what Rose thought would have been considered appropriate for a woman to wear in any office; especially when the woman was the boss.

  “Elaine, this is Rosaline Tate, the new hire I was telling you about.”

  “Do you go by Rose?” Elaine asked as she extended her hand.

  Elaine looked impeccably put together. Every hair on her head was in its perfect place. Her nails were manicured with a vibrant matching color to her suit, and she smelled like expensive perfume. Rose felt outclassed by Elaine almost instantly.

  “Yes, I do. It’s so nice to meet you.”

  Rose flashed her professional smile and made sure to look Elaine right in the eyes. She had to make a good first impression on her. Getting along with her female peers was one of the things Rose had been most nervous about as she took on the new work. She knew she’d get along with the men, that had never been a problem for her, but she and women didn’t always see eye to eye.

  “Well, Noah has told me a lot about you. I’m very sorry to hear about your husband, but it’s good to see that you’ve picked yourself up and are trying to make something of yourself.”

  “Yes, I’m excited to be with you guys and eager to learn from you. You’re a legend in my law school, and I just can’t believe I’m sitting here getting ready to work for you.”

  “You went to Georgetown?”

  “Yes.”

  “Well, then at least we know you were well educated,” Elaine said as she shot a glance at Noah. “Noah, would you mind if I talked with Rose in private for a moment?”

  “Sure, just send her across the hall to my office when you’re done, and I’ll take her downstairs to get oriented with the other first years.”

  Rose held her breath at the idea of being left alone in a room with Elaine. She couldn’t tell if she was breathing or not as Noah left the office and Elaine turned back to look at her.

  “Sounds good,” Elaine said with a permanent grin on her face.

  Elaine waited for Noah to leave and the grin quickly left her face. She looked at Rose with an intent stare as she started to talk firmly to her. Rose let out her breath and then quickly held it again. This was her worst nightmare—Elaine didn’t like her, she just knew it.

  “I can’t have any woman in my office looking like a badly dressed man. Please work a little harder on your wardrobe. I pride myself on my appearance, and I expect all my female employees to do the same.”

  “Yes, certainly,” Rose said as she looked down at her dull black suit.

  “Noah has assured me that he’s not sleeping with you, is that correct?”

  Rose’s eyes got big as she looked up from her suit to meet Elaine’s gaze. She hadn’t expected to be asked such a personal question, and it threw her off for a moment as she tried to figure out the most diplomatic way to answer her.

  “Um, yes. We are just friends. He knew my husband.”

&nb
sp; “Okay, then let’s be clear that there is to be nothing going on between the two of you. I don’t care if you suddenly decide he’s the man of your dreams—you are a first-year law lawyer, and he’s a partner. I won’t stand for it. You need to stay away from him.”

  Rose swallowed hard as the intense gaze of Elaine drilled into her. She wasn’t planning on having a sordid love affair with Noah, but if she had been, that look from Elaine would have squashed those thoughts right away. Elaine scared Rose, more than any woman she had ever met. It was clear that Elaine ran that firm, and Rose did her best to keep a smile on her face and not look totally thrown by the way she was being talked to.

  “Yes, very clear. I appreciate the opportunity and won’t let you down.”

  “You can go see Noah now,” Elaine said as she stood up and shook Rose’s hand.

  Rose shook hands and made sure to keep her smile on her face as she left Elaine’s office and walked straight over to Noah’s office. The smile quickly faded from her face as she slipped into Noah’s office and shut the door behind her. She also started to breathe normally again.

  “That woman hates me,” Rose said as she opened her eyes and dramatically rolled them.

  “She’s tough. She’ll push you hard, but she doesn’t hate you.”

  “Man, this is going to be much harder than I thought.”

  “You thought it was going to be hard working with me?” Noah asked as he flashed a boyish smile.

  “Don’t you start with me. Elaine made it extremely clear that I was to stay away from you, and I absolutely couldn’t seduce you.”

  “She said that?”

  “Pretty much.” Rose laughed. “Now take me to those hot young first-year lawyers so I can have my way with them.”

  Noah just laughed as he led Rose down the hall and to the elevator. He made a point to stand at least two feet away from her and didn’t look at her at all while they waited for the elevator to come. Rose could tell he was being deliberate in his actions, and she couldn’t help smiling. It was going to be much harder on Noah, having her work with him, than it was going to be on Rose.
