The Millionaire’s Games(13)
Author: Helen Cooper

"Good evening Louise." His voice had an amused lilt to it and she turned towards him to see what he found so humorous.

"Hello Richard." She nodded her head and her breath caught. He was gorgeous and she felt Once again as if she were in the presence of a Greek God. He was wearing a black suit and his hair was still wet from having recently bee in the shower. The jet black of his hair looked silky and smooth and his eyes seemed to be liquid coal, ready to take her into him and heat her up.

"Is that all I get?" He murmured in her ear. "A hello?"

“Would you rather I kiss you, in front of your girlfriend?" Louise hissed back at him angrily. "Or perhaps you’d like me to go down on you and shock everyone?"

"Yes, I think that would please me." He grabbed her hand and ran it against the crotch of his trousers. She gasped and stepped back.

"How dare you!"

"You asked me what I wanted." He smiled at her darkly and smoothly slid into a conversation with David who had just turned around. "So where are you two off to?"

"We’re going salsa dancing. I’m going to teach Louise some moves."

Monique squealed. "Oh, I love salsa dancing." She started to shimmy and sway her h*ps and Louise tried to frown her dissent at David who was looking at her questioningly.

"Sounds like a fun night. Monique and I will join you, I’ll go fetch the Mercedes and meet you all in the front."

"Okay, sounds great." David smiled at his brother, happy to finally see him relaxing and trying to enjoy himself.

"Louise come with me, I want to talk to you about your new job."

"It’s okay." She mumbled at him, wishing that the excitement that was coursing through her body would stop.

"Come." He grabbed her arm and pulled her with him through the front door.

"Stop manhandling me, you ass**le." She glared at him and swallowed as he came up towards her.

"It seems like you know a lot of naughty words. Whatever should I do with you." he growled in her face and pushed her against the wall. His lips came close to hers and she licked her lips.

"Don’t even think about trying to kiss me." She snarled at him while secretly hoping to feel his lips on hers.

"Is that some sort of dare Louise?" He growled before his lips came crushing down on hers. She felt her body responding to his as she felt the saltiness of his tongue in her mouth. Her tongue darted into his mouth and she kissed him back passionately;

Something in her wanted to believe that he was about to tell her that Monique was a mistake and that he was going to breakup with her.

"I knew you wanted me." He grinned at her as pulled away.

"What about Monique?" She breathed out harshly.

"Monique is my girlfriend, but that doesn’t mean much." Richard stared at haughtily. "I seem to remember you sleeping with me when you were still dating Ben."

"But that’s not the same." She bit her lip. "You knew about Ben."

"And now you know about Monique." He stared at her unsmiling. "We can have a lot of fun Louise."

"I’m ready to go now." She turned away from him and he opened the door and got in the car. She got into the front seat next to him. “I didn’t know about Monique when I slept with you.” She mumbled.

"Well now you know about Monique."

"I don’t want to date a guy who is in a relationship." She frowned at him. "That’s not who I am."

"Who said anything about dating?" He cocked his head and stared at her. "I’m not interested in relationships or love Louise, please don’t get confused about my intentions here."

She felt a stirring in her stomach and looked away from him. "We better go get the car, the others will be wondering where we are." she walked away from him and into the garage, waiting next to the passenger door if his luxurious Mercedes sedan.

"I didn’t mean to upset you." he caressed her hair. "I forgot about Monique when I met you Louise. I’m not an emotional man. I do not believe in love or happily ever after’s. Sex is a base feeling and action. I’m attracted to you and I want you. Monique does not care if I’m with someone else. We have an arrangement and she understands what I want and need. I’m a businessman, I need a beautiful woman on my arm."

Louise closed her eyes as he whispered furtively to her; she could feel his breath warm on her neck. She felt her heart cracking as he talked about how beautiful Monique was. She turned her face away from him and out her hand on the door handle.

"Please, let’s just go." Her voice was high and squeaky and she hoped that he didn’t realize just how much she was hurting.

They pulled around to the front of the house in silence and Louise saw David and Monique laughing about something. She frowned, upset with David for being so friendly to Monique. She had hoped that David would also dislike Monique so she wouldn’t feel so alone in her hatred of the slinky redhead.

David opened the back door for Monique and they got into the car laughing.

"What are you two giggling about?" Richard’s voice was smooth and curious. "Not my salsa skills I hope."

"No dear brother, we were talking about the newest Monty movie; it was hilarious, have you seen it?"

"No, I don’t have time for stupid movies."

"But Richard you promised to take me to the newest Bradley Cooper movie in a few weeks." Monique’s voice was whiney.

"Sorry dear. That’s not going to happen, I’ll be in London on business for the next month." Richard’s voice sounded anything but sorry and Louise smiled to herself.

"London?" Monique sounded upset. But you just got back from Brazil. I thought we were going to spend some time together. I told Daddy and he said we could go to the Condo in Palm Beach with him and mummy."

"Doesn’t sound like that is going to happen." David laughed. "Monique, that’s what you get for dating a millionaire."

"It’s just not fair." She pouted. "I want to come to London as well."

"We’ll see." Richard’s voice was no nonsense. "I’m going for business and not pleasure. In fact Louise will be accompanying me."

Louise started and was about to object when Monique squealed. "What? That’s not fair. How can you take that ho and not take me." The car was silent after she spoke. Louise felt her skin flushing red with anger and embarrassment.

"That’s not very nice." David’s voice was low and the humor was gone.

"Well it’s true. She came as Ben’s girlfriend, dumped him so he rushed home early. Now she is dating you and got a job with Richard. Sounds like she is an opportunistic whore to me."
