The thought of her belonging to me ignites that primal rush again, and I stare at her with deeper fascination, my fucking cock hardening the closer she gets.
Although she’s just come out from the rain and is looking at me as if she wants to kill me, she’s still one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen in my life.
Aurora Wright has the type of striking beauty that could fascinate a man for eons and make him do all sorts of shit to make her his.
When she gets closer, she switches her gaze from me and cuts Jericho the same razor-sharp stare.
Our billion-dollar portfolio is usually powerful enough to tame even the worst of shrews, but Aurora looks like she couldn’t give two shits who we are.
“I’m gonna call Luc and leave you to it,” Jericho mutters in a sing-song tone. I don’t have to look at my brother to know he’s grinning from ear to ear. “Looks like you’re gonna have your hands full.”
I don’t answer.
When he leaves, Aurora looks back at me.
She stops a breath away and intensifies her glare.
“I was beginning to wonder if you weren’t going to accept my proposal—”
A slap from her dainty hand connects with my jaw, cutting out my next words and shocking the hell out of me. The last person who was bold enough to hit me ended up picking all their teeth up off the ground.
“Yes, I accept. I will marry you. And if you think that was a realproposal,you have another thing coming.”
Well, damn,looks like the goddess has some balls on her. “Given the circumstances, I didn’t think I needed to get down on a bended knee.”
“How about nothing at all.” She wrinkles her nose. “Let’s get something clear. This is for my father. I’m nobody’s fool, so don’t make the mistake of thinking so or believing I’m anything like one of your groupies.”
I want to tell her that she certainly acted like one at the restaurant, and she liked me well enough when I was finger-fucking her pussy, but I’m more intrigued to hear what else she has to say. It’s not often people challenge me, especially women.
“I wasn’t myself at the restaurant the other night,” she points out as if reading my thoughts. Her cheeks are flushed, so maybe she can. “Had I been, I would have seen you for the asshole you truly are and have nothing to do with you.”
Her eyes darken to a stormy blue, and I half expect to see lightning crackling around her irises.
She’s enraged, as she should be, but I wonder if she knows she’s still looking at me like she wants to fuck me.
I smile, take a drag from my cigar, and blow out a plume of smoke over her head. As it settles like a halo, I lean forward, slicing into her personal space.
My closeness makes her shoulders tense, but she continues to stand her ground, doing her best to look unfazed but failing when her gaze drops to my lips for the briefest moment.
I look at her lips too, and remember kissing her. I shouldn’t have done that. It’s screwing with me now.
Ignoring her vapid bitch warning, I say, “I’ll send my driver to pick you up Tuesday morning at eight. Make sure you’re packed and ready to go.” I move even closer and catch her scent. That fucking scent of honey and roses mixed with rain. “I’d hate for us to start off on the wrong foot.”
She steps back and lifts her chin. “Everything about you is wrong,Mr.Grayson.Everything.” She shoves the envelope into my chest, turns on her heels, and heads back toward the door, never looking back.
I blow out another ring of smoke and my eyes drop to her perfect round ass, which I can just about see from the curve of her coat.
Jericho chooses that moment to return—I’m sure he didn’t really go that far or call Luc. It’s more his thing to eavesdrop, so I know he heard everything that was said.
He wolf-whistles when he reaches me. “So, that was her.” His voice holds a spark of amusement.
“That was her.”
“I like her.” He nods and nudges his elbow into mine. “She’s beautiful, fiery, ballsy even, and I think she might hate you. Looks like you’re definitely going to have your hands full.”
I think I’ll have more than my hands full when it comes to Aurora Wright.
And this is only the beginning.
