Chapter Five
Wayne stared at her turned back. The desire to tell the person at the door to fuck off so he could put Lily over his knee for disobeying him was strong. She needed time but that didn’t make it any less frustrating.
He licked his lips, trying to get all the taste for himself while moving to his apartment door. Wayne glanced through the peephole he forced management to install.
Fuck. His lawyer stood on the opposite side.
Running fingers through his hair to compose himself, he willed his arousal to reduce somewhat, and then he opened the door. He signalled for the man to be quiet and let him in to his apartment.
Richard glared at him but kept his mouth shut. About fucking time, the guy did as he was told.
“Lily, I’d like you to meet, Richard, my trusted friend and lawyer.”
Richard scoffed but extended his hand out. “He pays me to stay loyal.”
“It seems he pays for a lot of things in his life.”
Wayne noted her tone and wished Richard wasn’t in their company. Lily was close to earning her spanking.
“Well, he certainly has enough to keep things moving. Anyway, I’ve got matters to discuss so it’s a pleasure meeting you.”
Lily nodded but steered her attention to Wayne. “May I use the pool?”
Wayne pulled his wallet out of his back pocket. He frowned at her cold attitude towards him. Only moments ago, she’d been smoking in his arms, and he didn’t like the quick change within her.
“Take this and buy yourself a costume. There’s a store downstairs.” He dismissed her and intended to turn his attention to Richard.
“You’re sure I won’t try to run?” She sneered at his back.
That was it!
“Richard, go to my office. You know where it is.” He hesitated for a split second but Richard should know Wayne would never hurt her.
The door clicked shut, and Wayne was on her. He pushed her up against the nearest wall. His feet tapped hers apart, and he pressed his leg up to her sopping pussy. “I don’t know what’s gotten into you but I don’t like it.”
“What’s not to like?” she asked.
Fucking hell, he loved this woman. Spunk, attitude, kind, and sexy as hell. He would own her before their time was done. Their time being for-fucking-ever.
“I love that sassy mouth, but I think I can put it to better uses like wrapped around my cock.” He wanted to turn her on. Wayne saw her eyes dilate, and her breath hitch up a notch.
Bingo.
“I’ve never done that.”
Wayne knew there was a lot she hadn’t done, and he looked forward to teach her everything he liked.
He stroked a thumb over her luscious lips and pressed to gain access. “Then that’s something we better rectify. I want these lips, red and puffy, swallowing me down.” She sucked his thumb like a lollipop and licked along the tip. “You’ll be a natural at it.”
Wayne may have blackmailed, and in effect bought his future wife, but all the clichés of convenience and having a marriage to carry on the bloodline was fucked up to him. He wanted a full-blown marriage. His biggest problem was his impatience. He couldn’t deal with the time it would take to woo her properly and risk never being part of her life at all.
Her eyes opened and she gazed at him, and all he wanted to do was lose himself in her stare. “Go and get a costume while I deal with business. This is your home now, your life. Please, share it with me.” That was all he would give her. He’d never begged in his whole life, and he wouldn’t start now even if this woman owned his heart and didn’t yet know it.
She nodded, and he let her go. At the door, she took a lingering look back at him and then left.
Wayne made his way to his office where he’d sent Richard earlier. Richard sat at the desk drummed his fingers along the hard stained wood. He stood when Wayne entered. “Trusted friend and lawyer? I take it you haven’t introduced her to our other friend Tony?”
Tony, Richard, and Wayne had been inseparable as they grew up and when they went to college, they were known as the terrible trio. Other men feared and admired them while women cried for their attention.
Wayne shook his head and went straight for his scotch supply.
“How long has she agreed to be your wife?” He heard the laughter in his friend’s voice, but he didn’t care. Wayne needed to have the burn of the sharp liquor to know he was still alive after she left his apartment. “So this is the girl you’ve been following around like a puppy dog?”
“She doesn’t know that, and I’d like to keep it that way.” Richard and Tony were his closest friends, and they thought he was crazy spending the time waiting for Lily when there was a sea of willing females ready to be anything he wanted.
“She’s a little young.”
“Don’t you think I know that? I feel like I’m corrupting her or something, but she wasn’t happy at her parent’s place. The fucking place was a mausoleum, and they all hated her. I’m doing the right thing.”
“Maybe Lily’s a bitch behind closed doors?”
The anger inside him was instant and threatened to spill over. “If you value our friendship, you’ll keep your opinion to yourself. She doesn’t deserve that, and I won’t take it from you about her.”
Richard held his hands up in surrender.
Wayne nodded and drank the last remnants of his drink, and he winced. One glass would do. He would never let her see him drunk.
“Please tell me why you’ve drawn up such a tight-knit pre-nup? Even I wouldn’t sign this, and I drew it up.”
“So she can never leave me. No woman would leave her child or anything else stated in there.”
With any luck, Lily wouldn’t read through the large document tying her to him further. If she did read it, he knew she wouldn’t sign it.
“Let’s get down to business then.”
Wayne sat behind his desk and looked over the files Richard had drawn up for him. Some of it made sense, while the rest sounded a little complicated. He couldn’t get her out of his mind, and it affected his ability to work. Wayne heard her come back. He wondered what she’d bought. A bikini or a full costume?
He glanced over at the clock and wanted the meeting over.
“You really don’t care what I’ve got to say, do you?”
“I trust you, Richard. Get it done.”
Wayne stood from his seat and left his office.
