The Xmas Conquest (The Wild West Billionaire Book 1)

I flushed as I ran my hands over my body, cupping my breasts. The corset pushed them up and together, so for once I had magnificent cleavage. And I had to admit the feeling of silk rubbing against my body made me feel sexy in a way that I’d never experienced before.

“Okay,” I called back, summoning every ounce of courage that I had in my body. “I like this stuff!”

“Try something else on,” Danielle called back. “You have so many options!”

I flushed, but obediently stripped out of the corset and garter belt before pulling on a sheer negligee. Compared to what I’d just been wearing, it felt almost tame. The idea of wearing any of this stuff around James was enough to make me feel like fainting with anxiety, but I grinned when I realized I couldn’t wait to see the look on his face.

He’s really going to flip out, I thought, my heart racing as I gathered everything in my arms and pulled my sundress back over my head. He’s not going to believe it!

I was still blushing by the time I paid for all of my new lingerie, but as I walked out of the shop with Danielle at my side, I felt confident and happy.

“So,” Danielle asked with a smirk. “Pizza?”

I glanced down at the bag in my arms, then giggled. “I don’t know,” I said. “What if I don’t fit in this stuff afterwards?”

Danielle laughed. “Trust me,” she said, reaching out and touching my waist. “I think you’ll be fine.”

Danielle and I stopped by our favorite pizza place in the city and got an extra-large cheese with pepperoni before heading back to my condo. We settled down in the living room, put on reruns of bad reality TV, and gossiped as we ate. It almost felt like old times again, back in our old apartment.

Around nine-thirty, Danielle yawned. “I should be getting home,” she said. “I’ve got work in the morning,”

I frowned and checked my watch. “James is really running late,” I said, glancing down at the pizza box. “We should save him some.”

Danielle got to her feet and stretched. She leaned in and gave me a one-armed hug before taking her purse and sauntering out the door. Just as she was leaving, she turned around and smirked.

“Say, James doesn’t have a brother or anything, does he?”

I grinned. “He’s got two,” I said.

“See if you can hook me up with one of them,” Danielle said with a sly expression. “Because damn, girl, I am so sick of being single!”

As soon as Danielle was gone, I put the rest of the pizza in the fridge for James, then jumped into the shower. I was sure by the time that I emerged from the hot spray of water, James would be sitting on the couch, waiting for me. But I came out of the shower to find an empty living room…and no messages or texts on my phone.

I frowned as I pulled on one of my new things – a bright blue silk teddy, with a matching blue garter and crotchless panties. Wearing the slippery fabric made me feel sexy, and I felt a sudden burst of longing as I waited for James. I’ll just lie down for a minute, I thought as I crawled into bed and pulled the sheets over my freshly-shaven legs. I’m sure I’ll wake up by the time James gets home. In a matter of seconds, I fell in a deep, heavy sleep.

Crash!

I bolted up in bed, rubbing my eyes. Outside, it was completely dark and I could see a slight breeze ruffling the trees. My heart started to pound as I realized that the sound had come from the kitchen. As quietly as I could, I slipped out of bed and got to my feet, holding my breath as I tiptoed down the hallway.

James was standing in front of the open fridge, a slice of cold pizza in his hand, shirtless. His muscles gleamed in the dim lighting of the kitchen and he didn’t notice me as he took a bite, chewing thoughtfully. The sight of his jaw muscles twitching was enough to make my nipples go hard, and suddenly I realized I wanted him desperately.

“Hey,” I said softly.

James turned around. When he saw me, he did a double-take. “God, you are so gorgeous,” he said, dropping the slice of pizza on the floor and pulling me closer. His bare skin brushed against my silky teddy and I blushed hotly as James cupped my chin with his fingers and turned my mouth up to kiss him. As James slipped his tongue in my mouth, I moaned softly and closed my eyes. He tangled his hands through my hair and yanked my head back, exposing my neck and nibbling his way down to my breasts.

James dropped to his knees on the kitchen floor and pressed his face to my belly, kissing and licking my flesh through the thin silk material. It felt heavenly and I moaned again as I felt my clit harden. I grew moist between the legs and James slipped his hand into the crotch of my teddy, thumbing my hard clit until I was gasping and shaking with pleasure. When he slipped a finger inside of me, I shivered. I tangled my hands in his unruly hair and pushed my crotch forward, grinding my wet pussy against his face until James’s mouth was buried inside of me. It felt so good that I could hardly stand it, and before I knew what was happening, a powerful orgasm broke over me.

“James,” I moaned loudly. “Oh my god, James!”

James kept licking and suckling until the sensation was too intense and I had to push his face away. He looked up at me and grinned, wiping his soaked mouth and chin with the back of his hand. He got to his feet and scooped me up in his arms with effortless strength.

“I wanted to take you on the floor,” James growled in my ear. “But I can’t resist the idea of tearing that thing off of you in bed.”

My heart was thudding as James carried me down the hall and gently dropped me on the bed. He climbed on top of me and pushed me down, crawling on top of me and pinning me into the soft mattress. When he covered my mouth with his own, I moaned and began licking my own juices from his lips and tongue. The scent and taste of my own musky arousal made me feel naughty, like I was doing something really dirty. Maybe it’s the teddy, I thought as James ripped the silk material away from my bare skin and threw it to the side. But I’ve never felt this sexy before!

James dipped his head to my exposed breasts. He took a hard nipple into his mouth and ran his teeth over the sensitive skin as I moaned and arched my back. James pushed one of his muscular thighs between my legs and rubbed it against my already-damp crotch. The sensation was still intense, and I bit my lip as pleasure flooded my nerves. I couldn’t believe how slutty I was acting – everything in my body craved James and his cock, like a powerful drug that I was too weak to resist.

James ripped the last of the teddy away from my body and smirked at me. I flushed hotly, glad for the dark of the room. I was clad only in my crotchless panties and the blue silk garter around my thigh, and somehow I felt more exposed than I would’ve felt had I been naked.

“I bet that was very, very expensive,” James purred, leaning in close and running a finger down my taut stomach.
