Billionaire Undone ~ Travis (Billionaire’s Obsession #5)(25)
Author: J.S. Scott

“Is there anything else in this contract that I signed but didn’t read that I should know about?” she asked, frustrated, wishing she’d looked just a little bit closer at the contract Travis had asked her to sign over the weekend. But she’d assumed it was just the ordinary stuff, much like the employment contracts she’d signed for Harrison previously. Travis knew damn well that when he said things like that he threw her off-balance. She wasn’t used to being called beautiful or even remotely attractive.

“Didn’t you see the part about me being able to f**k you any way I want to as many times a day as we both want it?” he asked lazily, as though he were having a business conversation.

Ally’s entire body flooded with heat. Tired of letting Travis always get the upper hand with his sexual banter, she answered him in a f**k-me voice that she wasn’t even aware she was capable of producing. “No. I only noticed the clause that says I can drop to my knees, pull out your cock, and wrap my lips around it any time I want, sucking you until you come.”

She heard a hiss come from Travis’s end of the line, and she smiled a naughty little grin. Bang! Take that Mr. Dirty Talker!

The line was absolutely silent for a moment before Travis responded in a pained voice, “I’ll make you pay for that, Alison.”

“You can dish it out, but you can’t take it?” she asked innocently.

“I’ll be taking it,” Travis answered ominously. “Dinner tonight,” he demanded. “I’ll pick you up around seven.”

“Do I have a choice?” she asked in an exasperated voice.

“Yes. You can wear the red lingerie or the black. I pictured f**king you in both of them,” he answered hoarsely.

The line went dead, Travis obviously not willing to give her a chance to argue. She’d actually gotten to him, shaken him up a bit with her own slam back at him.

Maybe she should be upset that she hadn’t really talked him into taking some of the clothes back, or irritated because he’d just assumed she’d go out to dinner with him. But the only emotion she felt at the moment was a giddiness that bubbled up inside her at the thought of seeing Travis again.

She laughed and started going through the boxes for something to wear that evening.

Travis leaned back in his office chair and closed his eyes, trying not to look at the desk and picture Ally sprawled out on top of it, abandoned and desperate. He tried not to hear her husky moans of pleasure as she splintered apart as she came for him.

Fuck! He hated that damn desk. It was like torture working in his office every day, trying not to think about what had happened on top of that very desk. Sometimes he even swore he caught her scent every now and then, a ghostly aroma of what she had smelled like in her arousal.

Her words about sucking him off went through his mind over and over again, making his c**k rock-hard, and his fists clench on top of the desk. “I need a new f**king desk,” he said harshly, thinking in reality what he needed was an exorcism. Ally haunted him almost every minute of every day. And it had gotten even worse since he’d spent the weekend with her, realizing how much he adored just about everything about her. Hearing about her childhood and her vulnerabilities just made him even more protective, more determined to make her life everything she deserved.

“You paid a fortune for that desk. Why would you want to get rid of it?” Kade’s voice sounded from just inside Travis’s office door.

Opening his eyes, Travis gave his twin a disgusted look. “I don’t.”

“I’ll take it if you want to replace it,” Kade said casually, closing the door and moving to drop into the chair in front of Travis’s desk.

Oh, hell no. No way was Kade going to be using the desk that Travis had used when he’d made Ally come for the first time. “No,” he answered angrily.

“Okay. Fine.” Kade held up a hand in defeat. “I thought I heard you say you wanted a new desk. I was just offering to take it off your hands. I wanted to see how Ally was doing. Have you heard from her?”

“Yeah. She’s doing okay,” Travis told his brother in a milder tone. “I just wish she was back. The office doesn’t run the same without her here.”

“You miss fighting with her,” Kade said teasingly.

“I miss everything about her,” Travis admitted. “She’s…efficient.”

“Her ex really did a number on her. Asha told me about it,” Kade replied, his voice tinged with anger.

“I’d like to kill him, but I think it would upset Ally,” Travis said morosely.

“You have it pretty bad for her, don’t you?” Kade asked quietly. “Don’t deny it, Trav. I’ve known for a while now.”

“How did you know?” Travis eyed his brother warily.

“I have it bad myself. I can see the signs. I think you’ve always fought with Ally to keep her at a distance. How long?”

Travis sighed, not wanted to admit it, but needing to talk to Kade. “Since the f**king day I hired her. There were more experienced applicants, people who had better qualifications. But I must be a damn masochist, because I hired her anyway. I couldn’t stand the thought of not seeing her again.”

“Does she know?” Kade asked quietly.

“She should. I tell her every damn day that I want to f**k her,” Travis grumbled.

Kade coughed hard several times before gasping. “Very romantic and smooth, Trav. Is that all you want from her?”

Was it? Travis didn’t exactly know. “I don’t do romance, and all I know is that the woman drives me crazy.”

“She was hurt pretty badly, Travis. Ally may act tough, but she’s fragile right now. Her self-esteem was battered. If all you want is a f**k, get it somewhere else.”

Travis slammed his fist down on the wooden desk, making everything on the surface rattle. “Don’t you think I’ve tried? I don’t want anyone else. I can’t do another woman. I just want her. I want to kill any man who looks at her, anyone who hurts her in any way. I want to give her anything and everything she wants. I want her to be happy, dammit.”

Kade grinned at Travis. “Why didn’t you try to take her away from her ass**le ex before?”

“Because I didn’t know he was a bastard. I thought she was happy. I’m an ass**le, Kade. Everybody knows that. I thought she was better off with a nice guy.”

“And now that she’s single?” Kade prompted.
