ROMANCE: Bear Naked Passion (Billionaire Bear Trio Book 2) (27 page)

“Fuck, Cadence!” he said in a hush whisper. “Do you have no idea what you do to me?” he asked as he looked at the V in her dress that exposed her perfectly flawless cleavage. She gasped when he pulled her center zipper down and exposed her lace covered breasts to him. She dropped her arms to her side to allow him an opportunity to slowly push the two sides of the dress off her shoulders. She bit her lower lip when he ran a finger down her torso gently brushing against the flimsy fabric of the bra.

“What if someone walks in on us?” he whispered and she shrugged.

“I don’t really want to think about that.” Her hands were now on his chest, slowly undoing his shirt buttons. “All I want to think about is you and me.”

“But I don’t want you to regret anything,” he said as his hand reached behind her and undid the clasp of her bra. She held her breath when she felt the tightness that had been her bra securing her tits firmly to her chest finally releasing. Her nipples hardened almost immediately when the cool air blew against them.

“You are fucking perfect,” he said as he filled his hand with her breast. She closed her eyes and leaned against his strong hand. He was moaning softly, his warm breath against her skin. She held the back of his neck as he began kissing her shoulder.

“Yes…just like that,” she whispered when he began nibbling her neck. Every small inch of her skin that he worshipped with his mouth, with his tongue…it was simply heavenly and she was moaning into his ear as he went on. His hand began to slowly knead her soft mound. She wanted to scream, cry even. The distinct pleasure of having him kiss and caress her was almost too much. She wanted to scream out her pleasure. If she could she would have but she did not want to attract any unwarranted attention. She just wanted to be in his arms. Under him. On top of him Next to him. Any way he wanted to have her, she wanted. She threw her head back and sighed softly when he traced his tongue down her chest to caress her full nipple. Her other breast was getting equal attention from his flicking fingertips. She was even surprised that she had managed to und his shirt buttons all the way down to the last one. She looked at him and as if he could feel her look, he pulled away and looked at her. She put a hand on her shoulders and gently pushed him back. A lazy hand went down his muscular torso before she pushed the shirt off. She wanted to go on and undo his belt buckle, pull down his pants and boxer shorts, go down on him...the whole nine yards but he had his own little plan concerning her.

Liam began to slowly push her down on the couch. She laid back and looked up at him as he moved further down the couch. He then took her legs and gently placed them on the couch before he ran his fingertips up one leg to her waist.

“Tell me what you want,” he said in a hushed whisper.

“I want you to take me,” she rasped as he gently pushed her dress up to her waist. What she didn’t know was that at that time, he had to use every ounce of strength not to mount her and just have his way with her. She suddenly felt every hair on her body, every neuron alive when he pulled her panties down. She instinctively crossed her legs, hiding her sex an =d naked thighs from him. She felt weird being almost naked in front of him. She was this chunky woman and he was this amazing man with a perfectly chiseled body. He looked at her and noticed her flushed cheeks.

“What? What is it?” he asked and she shrugged before she crossed her arms over her breasts hiding them from him.

“I just…I have never had anyone else see me the way Clay did and even then…” she never got a chance to finish what she was saying. He took her hands and pulled them away from her breasts before he pulled her to her feet. She could not help but keep her eyes fixated to the floor. But he was not having any of that. He raised her chin up using his index finger before he pushed her dress off. She shivered as her dress slid down her flawless brown skin to pool around her ankles.

“Do you have any idea how beautiful you are?” he whispered as he looked into her eyes. “You are every bit the woman I have always wanted. These curves…these perfect curves…” he was gently running his hands down the sides of her body softly brushing against the sides of her breasts. “Embrace your curves, Cadence and if you need help doing that, then let me help you,” he whispered as he pulled her close. She closed her eyes and exhaled into his mouth when he claimed her lips once more. But this time it was not a soft polite kiss anymore. He was caressing her gently running his hands all over her body feeling her every curve. When she put an arm around his neck and pressed her body into his. It was his turn to moan when she traced her extra hand down his torso to his pelvis feeling his hard cock. “Do you feel how much I want you?” he asked as she pulled down his zipper. She would have answered him but she was still processing the fact that his girth was unlike anything she had ever seen or even imagined.

That was it. That was the straw that broke his back. He gently pushed her down on the couch and took off his pants before he knelt in between her legs. He gently hovered over her and kissed her softly. She could feel his hard cock at her entrance and she could not help but get even wetter than she already was. She had never been this wet especially considering that he had not really given her a long foreplay. But it was his words, his touch…everything about him that turned her on so much. He teased her with his fingers and then pulled out of her sopping cunt.

He positioned his cock at her entrance again and gently pushed himself into her waiting pussy. She gasped silently when she felt the head of his cock slipping into her. Almost immediately she knew she was in a field of trouble. He was hung….like amazingly hung. The kind of girth that people saw on porn movies. He kissed her as he pushed more of his length into her making her shiver under him. He pulled out of her and moved back in slowly, stretching her out to her limits. She buried her head in his shoulder when he pulled away from her lips and exhaled loudly. He was feeling her every fold, filling her up. It was not long before he began moving in and out of her with ease. Her wetness provided the perfect lubrication he needed to ease his length in and out of her. She was clawing at his back and her legs were crossed over his waist pulling him close ensuring that every thrust was deep and hard. Every single thrust was harder and deeper than the last and she was moaning softly shivering under him.

“Harder,” she moaned, surprising even herself. “Please fuck me harder!”

Liam needed no second bidding. He was suddenly fucking her hard and deep. He was reaching further than Clay ever did and he was touching every right place. She moaned softly and nibbled on his shoulder making him intensify his thrusts even more. She had not even thought of that as a remote possibility but it was happening. The sound of his pelvis slamming against hers were drowning out their moans and he was holding her tighter than ever.

Cadence could feel her body to the sheer pleasure. He suddenly let out a soft moan as he felt her pussy squeezing against his cock. She was cumming and he was doing everything to stay inside her but he just couldn’t. He let out a cry when her orgasm forced him out of her.

“Oh fuck, Cadence,” he moaned as she squirted her orgasm on his thigh. It seemed like forever before he was finally able to get inside her. She gasped loudly and shivered feverishly as he fucked her harder and harder until he exploded inside her.

She arched her back and sighed loudly as he collapsed on her.

“Wow,” she whispered.

“Yeah, wow,” he echoed.

“There is no way I could have got that in Maui,” she said as he slipped out of her.

“I guess it’s just my luck that you stayed in Miami,” he said and laid himself next to her.

“Yeah, just your luck.” She turned and looked into his eyes.

“Something is on your mind,” he whispered. “What is going on?”

“I am not silly enough to actually think that we are going to run off into the sunset together but I also can’t ignore the fact that being with you is something I have fantasized for the longest time.” she sighed. “I would love to know what is going on here.”

He touched the side of her face and smiled.

“You read my mind,” he said before he leaned in and kissed her forehead. 

Chapter 2

After their rendezvous in her parents’ den, Cadence had expected them to talk about the two of them. She would have loved to know exactly what was going on with Liam, but for the longest time, she had avoided talking to him because he had left for Nice almost immediately. His company had expanded into Europe and he was having some kind of crisis. The kind of crisis that needed his hands-on attention. When he had first broken the news to her, she was distraught.

“Nice,” she had said and he nodded.

“Nice,” he echoed.

“But ten years? Isn’t that a bit of a stretch?” she had asked.

“It’s a long story, Cadence, but to cut it short, let’s just say that if I don’t do this, I could lose my company,” he said.

She bit her lower lip and sighed.

“I guess you really do have to go.”

He nodded.

“I really do.”

She took a long deep breath.

“I’m not exactly sure I can handle another long distance… whatever this is… especially after what happened with Clay.”

“And I would never ask you to do something like that.” He reached for her hand and ran his thumb over her knuckles. “I lived my life, baby. But you are still young and you’ve got your entire life ahead of you.”

“Really? Of all the days you could play the age card, today is the day you choose to do it?” she asked.

“Hey, no time like the present,” he said in a soft voice.

That had been the last time she talked to him. And as far as she was concerned, it was better to keep it that way. It was the only way to ensure that she didn’t end up broken hearted. But as fate would have it, three years later she found herself looking for him. Talking to him again. And it was not a usual phone call. It was a video call. As she sat in her office looking at him, she could not help but recall how it felt being in his arms. The way he had held her, ever so lovingly claiming her over and over. It was perfect.

“You look good,” she said and he smiled.

“You look even better,” he said.

“France agrees with you, it seems.”

“France agrees with everyone but to be honest I think it would agree with you too.”

She smiled and shook her head.

“Should I consider that an invite or something?” she asked and he shrugged.

“You can think of it however you want. The truth is that I wouldn’t mind hosting you.”

“I wouldn’t mind hosting you either,” she pointed out. “Have you thought of coming out to Miami? I got a new place in Virginia Key. You would love it…it’s nice, private and…” her voice trailed off when he shook his head.

“No, you come down to Nice. I know you need the break,” he said and she raised an eyebrow over the other.

“Who have you been talking to?” she asked and he rubbed his brow. The same way he usually did when he was trying to hide something. That much she knew about him.

“No one. I just know that expanding your maid service to a corporate cleaning gig is no easy thing.”

She smiled.

“Cyber stalking me?” she asked and he shrugged.

“I also had a few words with Edward. He and your mother are a little concerned that you are not getting enough rest…and you have kind of been pushing yourself a little too hard lately.”

She took along deep breath. She should have known that all those calls from her parents she had ignored would somehow bite her in the ass. She looked at him and sighed loudly.

“If it makes you feel any better, your parents suggested this. Not me,” Liam said and she forced out a laugh.

“I’m twenty eight not eight.”

“Your point being?” Liam asked matter of factly.

“My point being that I know when to call the shots and now is definitely not that time,” Cadence said.

“Ten days,” he said and she shook her head.

“What?” she asked.

“Come to Nice for ten days and then you can go back…it’s perfect. A change of scenery, some R and R…I mean we all know we need it.”

She took a deep breath as she tucked a curly brown strand behind her ear.

“You are really not going to give up on this, are you?” she asked and he shook his head.

“I have to admit that I have a lot riding on this.”

“Which is?” she asked.

“Getting to see you again,” he said. “Granted we put a stop to everything but I still have very strong feelings about you and I care about you.”

A smile played on Cadence’s lips.

“And I miss you,” Liam added in a low voice making her heart skip a beat.

“I miss you too,” she said in a soft voice.

There was a long silence before he spoke again.

“Now please tell me you are going to come over because if you don’t I will personally fly down to Miami and get you.”

“I think I would like that,” she said in a whisper.

“I know you would,” he said.

She bit her lower lip again and nodded.

“Okay. Ten days,” she said and he smiled.

“I have everything lined up. I’ll email you the ticket.”

“Wait, you already got a ticket?” she asked, surprised.

“What can is say? I only play to win,” he said in a soft voice.

It was around four in the evening when Liam finally walked into the living room. Cadence looked up from her laptop and smiled.

“Hey,” she said and he frowned as he walked towards her. “What?”

“Are you still working?” he asked. “You are supposed to be on vacation.”

“Actually I am catching up on some of my TV shows,” she said as she turned the laptop so he could see. “I have been so out of it that I missed out on some of my best shows….I didn’t even know the second season of
How To Get Away With Murder
was out yet.”

“Still a Shonda Rhimes fan I see,” he said as he sat down next to her. She nodded and punched her fist in the air.

“Shondaland for life!”

“I’m sorry it took too long. I never intended to be away for this long,” he said looking at her. She shook her head.

“Hey, I know exactly how business works. I totally understand.” She put her laptop on the table and looked at him. “I made some butternut soup and baguette if you’re hungry.”

“You know I would never say no to your food,” he said and she smiled as she got up.

“Flattery, Mr. Saunders,” she started as she made her way to the kitchen. “Will get you everywhere.” 

She heat he soup for a few minutes before serving some into a bowl. He walked into the kitchen just as she paced his soup bowl on the breakfast counter.

“Is that your world famous cheese bread?” he asked when she out a side of bread next to the bowl.

“I don’t know about the all famous bit but yes, it is cheese bread.”

“From scratch?” he asked and a smile played on her lips as she nodded.

“Yes, from scratch. Now eat up before the soup gets cold.”

He smiled and took a spoonful of the soup into his mouth.

“Still as good as I remember it,” he said as he took another spoonful.

“I’ve never made you butternut soup,” she said shaking her head.

“No, you’ve never made
me
the soup but you have made it for some of the dinner parties your family have thrown.”

She raised an eyebrow over the other.

“How do you know that was not my mum’s soup?” she asked and he smiled.

“Your mother is an amazing woman God bless her but you and I both know that she is not that good of a cook,” he said and she shrugged.

“I guess you are right.”

“Aren’t you having some? I feel weird eating alone,” he said.

“I already ate. I don’t want to overfeed.” She walked to the fridge and pulled out a pitcher of orange juice. “But I will have some juice.”

“I would have gone for a glass of wine but I think I will do juice too,” Liam pointed out and she poured him a glass.

“I didn’t feel like going all the way down to the cellar,” she said shrugging. “So, how was work?” she asked and he sighed.

“I would have rather stayed at home honestly.”

She leaned forward and looked into his eyes.

“Are you alright? Is everything okay with the company?” she asked, genuinely concerned.

He took some bread and dipped it in the soup before he looked up at her.

“I would rather not talk about it,” he said in a soft voice.

“Okay, now I am genuinely concerned.” She sat down across him and sipped on her juice.

“I partnered with the wrong guys who gave me a pretty bad ultimatum. Uproot my life and start over in Europe or I forego controlling interest in a company I built from the ground up.” He dipped another piece of bread in the soup and put it in his mouth. “The choice was pretty simple from there.”

“What kind of people would do that to you?” she asked and he forced out a laugh.

“The kind that work with my ex-wife,” he said.

“Whoa…Melanie?” she asked and he nodded. “But I thought she got almost everything in the divorce settlement.”

“Everything but my company. Something I swore I would never…” his voice trailed off. “Setting up in Nice for a few years was exactly what I needed and a small price to pay for not handing over my life’s work to the woman I loathe the most.”

“Loathe. Big word there.” She sipped on her juice. “I thought your divorce was amicable.”

“It was for a while.” He took another bite. “Until she decided to act up on me.”

“I’m sorry…I didn’t know how bad things were.”

‘Don’t be. Turns out that I fit right into France like a perfect piece of a puzzle.”

She took a sip of her juice and smiled at him.

“Yeah, you really do.”

“You know…I’ve been holed up here for long enough. I think I should take a trip down to Paris this weekend. You should come with,” he said in a soft voice and she nodded.

“Yeah, maybe I should,” she said.

“This…this was amazing,” he said after taking the last spoonful of his soup. “Ten days of eating like this and I know I will add a few pounds.”

“So somehow you think that I will be cooking you dinner every single day I am here?” she asked smiling. “I mean fine, you do have a five star restaurant grade kitchen here and everything but you need more than just that.”

“This is you in a five star kitchen. Kind of like the cookie monster and a jar of cookies. You just can’t stay away.”

She bit her lower lip and smiled.

“I guess you might be right.” She took another long sip of her juice as he carried his dirty dish and put it in the sink. “Thanks for calling me out here. I didn’t think I needed a vacation until I came out here.”

“I’m just happy you came,” he said in a low voice. She looked into his eyes and suddenly felt her heart skip a beat. “This big place can get a little lonely sometimes. It’s nice to have someone around.”

She opened her mouth to answer him but he was standing so close that she just couldn’t ignore the fact that his scent was all around her. He took another step towards her and pulled her close to him. She gasped and let out a whimper.

“I can’t do this,” she said in a whisper.

“Do what?” he asked as he brought his mouth down to kiss her. She closed her eyes and hated that she was so helpless in his arms. She didn’t even realize that she had brought a hand up to run her fingers through his hair as he crashed his lips against hers. She was moaning and he was too He suddenly lifted her up in his arms and gently placed her on the counter. “Oh God…Cadence,” he moaned when he finally pulled away. Everything suddenly dawned on her. She was right back in the situation she had been trying to avoid.

“This…this is a mistake,” she said as she pushed him off. She climbed off the counter and ran out of the kitchen. She could not get out of the room fast enough.
