Hot for Love (Bachelor Billionaire #2) (21 page)

She
didn't want him to worry so she typed a quick message.

“
I'm
in my hotel. Sorry about that. I just turned my phone on. I haven't
played at all yet. I think I might just go to bed.”

“
How
were the flights?”

“
They
were fine.”

“
How
is your ankle?”

“
It's
fine. I still have to eat dinner. Did you have anything good? Are you
keeping the women out of my room?”

A
few minutes went by before he replied. She didn't feel like leaving
the room. Her foot was sore. Lisa ordered room service and turned on
the television. She turned on one of the shows that she watched each
week with Josh, while she waited.

Her
phone beeped.

“
I
picked up something on my way home from shopping. What are you
eating? Are you missing me yet?”

“
I
just ordered room service, a burger and fries. I just turned on our
Monday night show.”

“
I
haven't watched it yet. It's recorded and waiting. I should have
watched it earlier and then told you what happened, before you could
watch it.”

There
was a knock on the door. She grabbed her purse and got money out.
Lisa got her food and paid her bill. When she sat back down there was
another text.

“
It's
not the same watching it without you. Do you want to watch it
together?”

Her
phone rang and she answered it.

“
Hey,”
she said.

“
Hey.
How's your foot?”

“
It's
okay.”

“
What's
wrong?”

“
Nothing,”
she said. “I'm just tired and hungry. It's coming on right now.
Push play when I tell you.”

As
soon as the show started, she told him to push play.

They
stayed on the phone while they watched the show and she ate. During
the commercials, she asked him about his day. She told him about her
flights, but only the good parts. She didn't want him to know that he
was right about her foot. When the show was over she told him she way
going to bed. She assured him that she would text when her flight was
ready to take off from the last stop, so he knew about what time her
plane would land. Even though her car was waiting for her, he wanted
to know. She would text again when it landed.

“
Have
a good flight. I'll see you tomorrow. I'll make dinner so you can eat
when you get home,” he said.

“
Okay,
have a good night. Bye,” she said, and hung up her phone.

Lisa
woke and found a text from Josh.

“
Sweet
dreams, beautiful.”

Josh
spent the next day at home in his office. He received a text from
Lisa saying her first flight was leaving. She would not have much
time between flights, so she was not going to text again until the
final leg of the flight landed at home. If all of the flights were on
time, she would land around eight o'clock at night. He made lasagna
and put it in the refrigerator and planned to heat it up when the
flight landed.

Josh
was on the couch watching a show when his phone went off. It was
seven thirty in the evening. He jumped up, grabbed his shoes, put
them on, and took off out the door. As soon as he got to the station,
they scurried around to get ready and were off. They were headed to
the airport for an emergency landing. They arrived at the airport and
met up with airport firefighters and were told a flight from Atlanta
was making an emergency landing. The landing gear was faulty and the
front wheel was sideways. The plane was circling to burn fuel, so
there would be as little as possible when they attempted to land.
Hoping the wheel would correct on landing, or would assist the back
wheels to keep the plane steady, without catching fire. They stood by
waiting.

Josh
knew that Lisa's plane was supposed to land at any moment, and it was
a flight from Atlanta on the same airline. He was nervous. All he
could think about was keeping her safe. The few minutes of waiting
seemed like hours, as thoughts of her flooded his mind. Her beautiful
green eyes, long brown hair, amazing personality, and silly sense of
humor, ran through his head. He could not imagine having a life
without her in it one way or the other. His hands shook and his legs
felt like they were going to crumble at any moment. Please let her be
okay, he thought. He would do anything for her to be safe. He pulled
out his phone to see if there was a text from her, but was sadly
disappointed. Had she already landed? Was she still in the air? Was
she on that plane? Please let that plane land safely. It was a full
plane, and everyone on it deserved a full and happy life, he thought.

He
spent his adult life running from love, because he was afraid to lose
the person he gave his heart to. Josh had feelings for Lisa. He felt
them as he stood waiting for the plane to land. She was a huge part
of his life, and he could not deny it. There was not one thing about
her that he did not like. He was so afraid to lose her, but he had
never had her. He pushed away his feelings for her each day. What if
he never had the chance to be with her? What if she never knew how he
felt? She was his best friend, the one he wanted to spend his time
with. Would she ever be able to have feelings for him? Would he ever
be able to find out? He might never have a chance to be with her.
Josh realized that he may have given up all of the wonderful moments
they could have had, before she was gone. He stood with his head in
his hands and prayed that she would be okay.

The
plane went in for a landing and skid down the runway, as the wheel
shred and the rubbed burnt, shooting sparks from under the wheel.
With the aircraft steady, it finally stopped. The trucks got to the
plane and the firefighters moved into action. With everything under
control, the trucks from Josh's station left the airport.

Josh
got out of his gear and was ready to leave, when he was finally able
to check his phone again. Relief washed over him as he opened the
text from Lisa.

“
My
plane landed. We were a little early. I will be home soon. Hope you
made something good, because I am starved.”

Josh
sat in his car and leaned his head down onto the steering wheel. He
was thankful that she was okay. As soon as he got home, he hurried
into the house and to the kitchen, where Lisa was heating up the
lasagna and making garlic bread. He stood in the doorway and watched
her. She had on shorts and a tank top. She was safe. His feelings
flooded him as he looked at her.

Josh
walked up behind her, turned her around, grabbed the back of her
head, and released every emotion from the entire night as his lips
claimed hers hard.

What
is going on? Lisa felt her eyes widen as she looked at his face. That
kiss was different than any she had ever had in her life. She could
feel emotion and something else as he pulled his lips away. They both
struggled to catch their breath. His chest was against hers and she
could feel his heart beating so fast.

“
I
thought I lost you. I couldn't lose you,” he whispered, as he
looked her in the eye.

She
stood frozen. Was it because she went to work? She was only gone for
one day. Lisa missed him too, but what was going on? Before she could
say anything, his lips were crashing back down on hers. They kissed
before, but this was different. He held her head tightly against his
with her hair wrapped around his hand. His kiss wasn't soft and
loving; it was hard and full of need. He slid his tongue across her
lips as she parted them. Josh thrust his tongue into her mouth. It
was like he was memorizing every inch of her mouth. His tongue found
hers and she melted into his arms. Lisa let out a gasp as he claimed
her mouth as his. She felt like he was marking her for himself. Their
tongues found an amazing rhythm. She moaned against his lips, and it
felt like sparks were shooting through every part of her.

He
held her tight against his chest, and she could feel her breasts
brush against him through the thin fabric of their shirts. She could
feel herself getting wet below just from his kisses. It was by far,
the best kiss she had ever experienced in her life. What a welcome
home, she thought. Her body was shaking and her legs felt like they
would give out at any moment. If he kept kissing her like that, she
was going to have an orgasm without him even touching her.

Not
long after she came home from the hospital, they had a sexual
experience together, but did not have sex. There were a couple of
flirty playful moments over the past few months. But the moment they
were in, standing in the kitchen, was on a whole different level. She
dreamt about him so many times. Never once, had her body felt like it
did at that moment. She felt like her whole body was humming, like
every nerve was on full alert.

She
wrapped her arms around his neck and ran her fingers through his
hair. He slid his hands down her back, reached for the hem of her
shirt, and in one swift motion, pulled it over her head. She heard
him let out a deep breath as he began to move his lips down her neck.
She shivered when she felt his breath against her skin. He continued
to trail kisses down, until he reached her bra. Josh undid it with a
quick movement, slid it down her arms, and let it fall at their feet.
He licked and teased her nipple as she felt it harden. Josh felt and
squeezed her other breast with his hand. She felt her head fall back
as he held her nipple between his teeth and pulled gently. Her hands
instantly went to the back of his head as she held him against her.
He gave equal attention to both breasts before sliding his tongue
down the middle of her body toward the waist of her shorts.

Josh
slid his hands down her body and pulled her shorts to the ground. Her
panties were pink and thin. He left his mouth on her mound, and she
could feel his warm breath through the thin fabric. Her body shook as
another shiver ran through her. His tongue slid down and up her
thigh. She let out a moan as his tongue slid beneath her panties and
brushed across her soft skin.

“
Fuck,”
he groaned. “You're so beautiful and so damn wet.”

His
fingers moved her panties to the side as he continued to stroke her
with his tongue. Her fingers laced in his hair as her head fell back
again. She felt such a need for him. More than she ever dreamt
possible. He thrust his tongue into her and she gasped out a loud
moan.

“
Josh,”
she whispered with a breathy tone.

He
continued to thrust his tongue deep into her pussy. Her legs were
shaking and she could not wait to have him. Lisa wanted him inside of
her. She had never wanted anything more than she wanted him.

“
Please,
Josh,” she gasped.

“
What
baby?” he asked, as he growled against her skin.

“
Please.”

“
Tell
me baby, what do you want?” he demanded.

She
was surprised by his commanding tone, but it turned her on even more.

“
I
want you, Josh,” she growled. “I need you inside of me. I
can't wait anymore. I want you now.”

She
pulled his shoulders for him to stand. He stood and crushed their
lips together as he sucked her bottom lip between his teeth. She
moaned against his lips. He pulled her up and she wrapped her legs
around his waist. She held the back of his head tight with their lips
together, kissing as if their lives depended on it. He walked through
the kitchen, toward his room.

“
Oven,
lasagna,” she whispered.

“
Shit,”
he groaned.

Josh
put her down, pulled the lasagna out of the oven, shut the oven off,
grabbed her hand, and pulled her to his bedroom.

“
I've
never been in this bed. I may never want to leave,” she
giggled.
