Her Dad's Boss: A Billionaire Boss Obsession Page 2


  “No, but how did you…?” I trail off, shaking my head. Leave it to Lola to totally disrespect the rules. And my wish to follow said rules.

  She waves away the question. “It’s not like the place has a gate. I drove my happy ass right up the driveway and parked out front.” She puts her hands on her hips. “Besides, I thought you’d be happy to see me.”

  “I’m not supposed to have visitors.”

  “Then you shouldn’t have given me the address, now should you?” Lola looks over my shoulder and her eyes widen when she sees Joshua. “Well, hello there.” She brushes past me, flipping her hair and extending her hand. “I’m Lola.” She giggles and bats her eyes.

  Joshua glares at her, nods once, and then turns back to his work, his gaze flitting to mine on the way.

  “Ohhh. The strong silent type. I see.” Lola grins at me. “He’s perfect for you, Tea. You guys can be all tongue-tied together.”

  “Lola…” I step closer to her, ever so aware that means I’m getting closer to Joshua as well.

  She leans against his workbench, ignoring me. “Did you know that my friend Teagan here is a virgin?”

  I stop in my tracks, mortification turning my blood to stone. Is she fucking kidding me right now? What did she just say? “You are not helping,” I hiss.

  Joshua turns his head and stares at my friend. “I don’t think that’s any of my business.”

  “Lola…” I nearly choke on her name.

  Lola ignores us both. “And she thinks you’re hot. Which you are. So, that’s a plus.”

  Adrenaline surges through me and I break through the terror that had me frozen in place. I grab her wrist and pull her towards the house. “Come on. Let’s go inside.”

  She pulls her arm from my grasp. “I think…” She smiles at Joshua. “…and this is just a wild shot in the dark here. But I think you should, you know, do her a favor and introduce her to the pleasures of passion—” she makes a suggestive face “—so she doesn’t have to go through that whole awkward first time with a fumbling man-child thing. You would be doing the world a service…”

  “That’s it! Enough!” I grab Lola by the shoulders and push, forcing her away from the pergola. “I’m so sorry,” I say to Joshua and then march her back around the side of the house.

  “Holy shit, Lo. What in the world has gotten into you?”

  Lola wraps an arm around my shoulder. “I have your best interest at heart, as per usual. I promise you. You will thank me for that. I just did you a massive favor. Just wait. You’ll see.” She looks at the house and lets out a low whistle. “Does Mr. Kahjillionaire have anything to drink in there? Like maybe some really expensive scotch or something sexy like that?”

  “You are not staying. And even if you were, I’m not drinking this man’s expensive anything. I’m here to make sure his plants stay watered and the place looks lived in while he’s gone.”

  “Come on, Teagan. You spend your whole life doing what’s right. It can’t be good for you. You need to live a little while you’re still young enough to get away with it.”

  “I do plenty of living, thank you very much. And I can guarantee that when we’re finally graduated from college and head out into the world, I’ll have my shit together because that’s what’s happens when you do things the way you’re supposed to.”

  “Says the girl who keeps wondering if she should change her major.” Lola smiles sweetly and rubs my arm. “Whatever, Tea. You know I love you even if you are kind of a stick in the mud.”

  “And you know I love you even though you stick your nose where it doesn’t belong.” I wrap my arm around my friend’s shoulder and give her a squeeze. Our friendship really is a blessing, even if there are times—like this one—where she basically ruins my life trying to do what she thinks is right.

  Lola leans her head against mine. “So, where are we on this drink? Can we at least have some of his non-expensive scotch?”

  “Absolutely not.” I put my hands on her shoulders and finish marching her towards the driveway. “I’m not supposed to have people over and that means there will be no scotch of any kind.”

  Lola shakes her head. “You’re really not going to let me hang out with you and drink expensive scotch in a billionaire’s mansion….?” She trails off looking beyond disappointed in me. “I mean, this once in a lifetime opportunity here, Tea.” She waits for me to respond and shrugs when I don’t. “Well then, the least you can do is make a move on that carpenter for me. He is one hot silver fox.”

  Lola swings open the door to her cherry red convertible and twiddles her fingers at me before starting the engine and speeding away, leaving me alone with said hot silver fox and the sudden urge to find out what might happen if I do make a move.

  Chapter Four

  Joshua

  Imagine my surprise when Teagan comes strolling back around to where I’m working. I thought she would disappear into the house and hide until I left. I’ve never seen anyone as embarrassed as she was when her friend told me she was a virgin, and who could blame her? Teagan surprises me again, when, instead of going back over to the lounge chair near the pool, she lifts her chin and heads in my direction.

  She stops a couple feet from me and wraps her arms around her stomach. “I know I’ve already said I’m sorry, but I feel like I owe you at least three more apologies.”

  “Well, that’s one…” I hold up my finger and grin.

  Teagan looks startled and then grins back. “I’m sorry,” she says, catching the game.

  I hold up a second finger. “Two.”

  “And…” She raises her eyebrows and nods once as she says: “I’m sorry.”

  I lift a third finger and then let my hand drop. “And there’s three.” I rake a hand through my hair. “So, now that’s out of the way and we don’t have to worry about it anymore.”

  Teagan lets out a long breath and nods. She licks her lips, then opens her mouth only to close it and nod again.

  “Didn’t you just finish telling me that your mouth runs before your brain has time to catch up?”

  Teagan blushes. “Yeah,” she says, laughing lightly.

  “Right now, it looks like you have something to say.”

  “I do.” She bites her bottom lip. “I just don’t know what to say other than I’m sorry. I guess this time, my mouth is trying to run before my brain even knows what’s going on.”

  “Was that your sister?” I should be putting the finishing touches on this damn pergola instead of chatting this girl up, but Teagan has my full attention.

  “Nope. I’m an only child. That was my friend, Lola. Although we’ve been friends so long, she might as well be a sister.”

  “That explains it, then. She’s … uh … direct.”

  “She is most definitely direct. She’s in the middle of this whole, I don’t even know what to call it. Sexual revolution is what came to mind, but it’s more than that. She says she’s tired of playing life by the rules. She’s all about following her heart and listening to her soul.” Teagan widens her eyes. “I don’t usually mind, as long as she doesn’t hurt herself.”

  “And you don’t believe in following your heart and listening to your soul?”

  “I don’t know. I guess I do. But, she flits from one interest to the next, one person to the next. I worry that she’s not going to be ready to take care of herself when the time comes. How is she ever going to buy a house or settle into a job or, you know, what about retirement?”

  “Retirement?” I raise an eyebrow. “How old are you guys?”

  “Twenty-one.”

  “Teagan. I’m all for planning, but I’m also for living, too. Your friend might be onto something, especially given how young you are.” And sexy. And adorable. And she has a nice sense of humor. Holy shit, I’m a goner.

  Teagan frowns and looks at her hands. Her freckles dance as she scrunches up her nose. “I just want to end up in a place like this when I’m older.” Her gesture encompasses the property
. “And I don’t think you get here by following every whim and doing exactly what you want all the time.”

  “You might be surprised.” I came into my wealth by chasing my dreams and following my gut. I worked damn hard while I was doing it, but I certainly didn’t follow all the rules society deems part of the ‘right path.’

  Teagan runs her hand along the mostly-finished pergola. “This looks amazing.” She smiles, her gaze locked on mine, sending a jolt of hell yes on a direct line to my dick. “I think I’m going to go inside now,” she says, suddenly shy. “It’s been really nice talking to you.”

  And then she commits a cardinal sin. She puts her hand on my arm, her skin like silk against mine. Electricity courses through my body. Her lips part and she gasps, staring down at where her hand rests against the corded muscles just below my shoulder. After a few silent seconds, she brings her gaze to mine, her eyes hooded and burning with lust.

  I drop my gaze to her mouth and she licks her lips, leaning in closer, angling her head ever so slightly. She wants me to kiss her and I am more than happy to oblige. I brush my fingers along her arm. She shivers as goosebumps flare across her skin. I thread my fingers into her hair, letting my thumb graze her cheekbone as I do. Her breath catches in her throat. I move closer and then pause. She softens into me and that’s all the invitation I need.

  I kiss her.

  Chapter Five

  Teagan

  He tastes like mint and smells like sweat and for some reason it’s the most sinfully delicious combination in the known universe. I breathe him in and run my hands up his arms, my mind boggling at how firm his biceps are before I wrap my arms around his shoulders and press my body against his. My lips part as his erection pushes into my belly. A breeze lifts my hair off my back and birds sing in the trees as his tongue darts out to meet mine.

  Joshua grabs my hair in his fist and pulls my head back, nipping and kissing his way along my jawline. I close my eyes and my chest heaves while moisture pools between my thighs. His free hand flares wide across my lower back and he holds me tight against him. I knead his shoulders and he thrusts his hips into me. I want him and there’s no doubt he wants me, but I have no idea what to do next.

  Am I really going to give my virginity to a stranger? And not just any old stranger, but a sweaty, sexy, older stranger who is an employee of my dad’s boss? My body says yes but my brain says no. Joshua releases my hair and kisses me again, cupping my breast in his big hand and suddenly, my brain is less certain about its stance on the issue. He releases my lips and moves his attention to my chest and my brain loses any sense of right and wrong and throws its hands up in the air, joining forces with my body.

  “I don’t…” I begin and then he rolls my nipple between his fingers and I moan, closing my eyes and letting my head drop back. My hair tickles my waistline.

  Joshua stops moving and pulls away ever so slightly. “You don’t what?”

  “I don’t want you to stop.” I whisper the words, my gaze dropped.

  “Look at me, Teagan.” Joshua’s voice is low and my body thrums with heat and need. It’s all so much more than I’ve ever experienced and I am overwhelmed with thought and sensation. I lift my gaze to his.

  “I will stop if you want me to.” His eyes are serious.

  I shake my head. “I don’t want you to.” I blink as his dick presses even harder against my belly. “I just don’t know what to do.”

  Joshua smiles. “Stop thinking so much. Your body knows what to do. And the rest? I am more than happy to teach you.”

  He bends, slides his hands under my ass, and lifts. I wrap my legs around his waist and he carries me into the house, making a beeline for Mr. Kincaid’s bedroom. I should stop him. I should at least guide him towards the guest room so we don’t end up having sex in my dad’s boss’ bedroom, but he lowers me onto the bed and unties the string holding up my bikini top. The thing falls, exposing my breasts. He eyes them hungrily before lowering his mouth to my nipple, biting and sucking until I forget anything I thought I should say other than oh, fuck yes.

  With one hand behind my head, he stretches me out across the bed and then kisses down my torso until he gets to my bikini bottoms. Almost reverently, he hooks his thumbs in the fabric and slides them down off my hips. He straightens and stares down at me.

  “My God, Teagan. You’re so fucking beautiful.” He crawls up onto the bed, widening my legs with his knees, his hands on either side of my head. “Have you ever had an orgasm before?”

  I nod. “I think so.” I might be picky about who I give myself to—well, up until this exact moment—but I am still human. God gave me my right hand and Lola gave me my battery-operated boyfriend and I’ve been a-okay to take care of myself up to this point.

  “You think so?” Joshua smiles. “If you have even a sliver of doubt, then you haven’t. I promise you you’ll know with certainty when I make you come.” He kisses his way down my body again and I lift my head to stare at his hard, muscled body between my legs. For a second, I’m consumed by terror, seeing his face so close to my nether regions.

  “Joshua…” I drop my head onto the bed as he stands and fumbles with the button on his jeans.

  He smiles. “You’ve got nothing to be ashamed of.” He drops his pants and steps out of his boxer briefs. My eyes go wide as dick springs free. I’ve seen them, of course. I’m a virgin, but I’m not dead and the internet is a wildly informative place. I’ve just never seen one in person before.

  He wraps his hand around his cock and strokes it, staring down at me with lust burning in his eyes. “You are such a treat and I can’t decide where to start.”

  He grabs my ankles and slides me to the edge of the bed before kneeling and hooking my legs over his shoulders. “But if you only think you’ve had an orgasm before, I think I’ll start by proving to you that you haven’t.” He lowers his face between my legs and anxiety surges through my body until he drags his tongue across my clit. I gasp. My entire body tenses. And then he does some things to me that make me melt and moan. I arch my back and squeeze my eyes shut, my arms thrown up over my head. Modesty be damned. He can hang out down there for however long he wants.

  Something builds inside me. Something wonderful and terrifying and the more he moves, the bigger it gets. My pussy burns and throbs and I want him inside me. Now. “Please,” I murmur.

  Joshua presses a finger against my opening. “You want me inside you, don’t you?”

  “Yes. Oh, God. Yes.” I barely recognize my own voice.

  He refocuses his attention on my clit. “I want the first thing you feel inside you to be my cock, not my fingers.”

  My body explodes at his words. My muscles clench and quiver. My voice rings out across the room and I call out his name as stars dance in front of my eyes. Just as I think I can’t take anymore, he lowers his mouth to my clit and sucks. I come undone, writhing and moaning and screeching until he finally releases me.

  I sag into the bed, panting, my muscles spent and tired. He drags a hand across his mouth and then crawls up on top of me, helping me slide backwards so there’s room for both of us on the bed. He wraps his hand around the base of his cock and angles it towards my entrance. With his eyes trained on mine, he slowly slides himself into me, inch by fucking delightful inch, until he’s sheathed up to the hilt.

  My jaw drops and my breath catches. He gives me a second to get used to being so full and I stare up at him in awe.

  “Holy shit, Teagan. You’re so tight.” His words are gasoline to the fire of my desire and I clench around him.

  “You feel so good.” I lick my lips.

  Joshua smiles. “Just wait, baby doll. We haven’t even gotten started yet.”

  He pulls out of me and then slides back in again. I gasp and lose myself to the sensation. I’m so full it hurts but then he moves and it’s nothing but sheer pleasure. That something builds inside me again and I fall right over the edge without warning, coming harder than I ever thought possible
as I scream his name at the top of my lungs.

  This moment, this right now, fucking a carpenter on my dad’s boss’ bed, it will forever change me. I will not be the same Teagan Flowers I was just an hour ago. I didn’t know this much feeling existed in the world. I didn’t know the true meaning of ecstasy until now. But now that I know? Dear God, I’m only going to want more of this.

  “I’m gonna come.” Josh grips my hips and picks up speed.

  I nod my head and he comes with a groan, his eyes locked on mine as he fills me with his seed.

  Chapter Six

  Joshua

  I’ve had my share of fabulous fucks in my forty-five years, but Teagan Flowers puts them all to shame. Her body responded to mine in ways I don’t know how to name and my body responded to hers in ways that will now render all my old fantasies useless. From this point forward, she’s the only fantasy for me. And the thought that I was her first? That shit right there is a thing of beauty. Knowing that she gave me something she can never give another man? That’s gold.

  I curl up beside her in my bed, wrap an arm around her waist, and draw her close. “Are you okay, Teagan?”

  She nods, her body stiff. “I’m fine.”

  “There’s one thing I’ve learned in my life and that’s when a woman says she’s fine, she is anything but fine. What’s wrong? I didn’t hurt you, did I?”

  Teagan shakes her head but won’t look at me. “No, you didn’t hurt me.”

  “Then why won’t you look at me?”

  “Because…” She rolls over, her eyes brimming with tears. “I’m crying and I don’t know why.”

  “I did hurt you.” I wanted to be gentle, but she was too much for me and I lost control there at the end. Was I too rough? Shit. If I ended up making her first experience a terrible one, I’ll never forgive myself.

  She props herself up on her elbow. “No, you didn’t. I promise. I just… I don’t know. It was really beautiful and I really enjoyed it and for some reason that makes me cry.” She gives me a watery smile.
