A Billionaire in Shining Suit (TBB 4)

Complicated

Chapter 16 - Complicated

KARINA HART

 Kari didn't know what in God's name was she doing saying all that but for a moment she'd thrown caution to the wind and blurted it all out.

 She was bloody tired of rejecting what she wanted. Seeing him so upset created a very weird feeling. Something that had her feeling.. just as upset.

  She took a drag from the half smoked cigarette and blew out.

  "How did you find me?" he asked

 "I followed you."

 "You don't seem like you ran all the way."

 "Who said I ran all this way?" She shrugged  "You kept your keys near the door and I grabbed them."

"You brought my jeep."

 "Yeah."

 Zach didn't say anything after that.

A comfortable silence spread between them. Hours passed and they still sat in the sand, their extinguished cigarette butts thrown haphazardly aside.

"I don't wanna go back there."

"Go back where."

"Home."

"You eventually have to."

"I don't like it there. It's lonely." He admitted.

"What are you talking about? You've got me."

"I'm not talking about the cabin, Kari. I'm talking about home back in the city. I don't like it there."

"Don't you have a family back there?"

"I don't. My step mom ran away when I was sixteen. My dad died by the time I turned nineteen."

"What about your mom?"

A smile broke out on his face. "She's happy with her new family. And I'm happy for her. G - Her husband loves her and ..." he sighed.

"And you want to be a part of it."

He shook his head.  "It's complicated."
"She doesn't want you." She stated.

"No. She wants me. In fact she's dying to tell all of her family about me. Every time we meet she insists on telling the truth."

"Then?"

"It's not my family. It's hers. She did everything she could for me. She'd suffered enough with my dad. She's happy with her husband and her kids."

"You're afraid that they won't accept you."

Zach stayed quiet. Instead of answering he fished out another cigarette.

"Okay that's enough." She snatched it from between his lips.

"Give me my cigarette back."

"You already had five of them."

"You did too."

"Nope. I just had three. If you wanna play fair, the remaining two belong to me and I refuse to smoke anymore."

"Your loss, my gain." He shrugged and tried to get a hold of the one remaining but she grabbed his wrist.

"That's enough Zach."

"Not for me."

She grabbed his chin and turned his face towards her.

"I know you're upset and everything but you ain't smoking another cigarette. You're done for the night."

"I want something in return."

His eyes slipped down to her lips and his tongue peeked out licking his own.

Suddenly she felt hot all over and registered that they were just mere breaths away. That if she could lean just a little she could feel his lips and this time it would be her move.

She mimicked his move of licking her lips and a soft moan left his.

"What do you want?"

"You know what I want." He retorted, his hot breath fanning her lips.

"I want you to ask for it."

He pursed his lips and she almost laughed at that.

"You want me to beg?"

"Nope. Just voice it out. I want to hear you telling me exactly what you want in return."

She was so close that she could hear him swallow before he leaned in, his cheek pressed to hers as he whispered in her ear.

"I want you. All of you."

She pressed her hands to his chest and pushed him a little.

"I don't want to-"

A laugh burst out of his mouth but there was no humor.

"What did you want with me admitting that if you just wanted to reject me.?"

"Listen here you bastard. Just because I like you doesn't mean I'll take this trash talking."

A confused look crossed his features and she softened

"Honey, I want you too. Don't think that I don't want you. I do but not here. As romantic as it is beneath the stars and on the beach, I'm the kind that prefers comfort over romantic."

She threw her leg over his outstretched legs and straddled him.

Leaning in she whispered, "I want you in my bed, naked. Just think. You. Me. Naked. Bed. How much fun can we have?"

He groaned in her ear and she knew she had him.

Thank God they hadn't lost the moment completely.

She pulled back and without thinking she pressed her lips to his and backed before he could take it deep.

Jumping to her feet she ran towards the jeep, Zach hot on her heels.

This was going to be a fun night.
