Free A Billionaire's Game (Ellsworth Brothers #2) by Cece Baker

said Landen, inserting himself into the
conversation. “I’ve known the man all his life. I’m an expert on all things
Drake. He is a player. He’s devious and he’s reckless. He goes through money
like water and keeps coming back asking for more. My father and I are at the
point of cutting him off completely. He doesn’t work. Like I said, he’s a
player.”
    “Listen, I appreciate your concern, but I can handle this.
Maybe you don’t know everything there is to know about your brother. When was
the last time you spent any length of time with him? Maybe once, just once, one
of you could stop bitching about him and stop and have an actual conversation
with the man. You might be surprised. I know that you don’t agree with me and
that’s fine. I guess this is just going to be one topic that we are going to
have to agree to disagree on. Thee, I’m really sorry, but you know me. I don’t
put up with shit from guys. Why can’t you trust me on this one?” That said,
Jill moved to get her jacket and leave.
    “Wait. Jill, don’t leave like this. Let’s talk about it
this.”
    “It appears there is nothing left to talk about,” she
replied and walked into the hallway. Grabbing her bike, Jill pushed the
elevator call button repeatedly and when the elevator didn’t arrive right away
she headed down the stairwell, bike resting on her shoulder.
    Thea went to Landen and he wrapped his arms around his
bride. He kissed the top of her head and whispered, “I hope she knows what
she’s doing. I really don’t want to see someone you care about get hurt.”
    Thea looked into Landen’s eyes and nodded. Slowly, a tear
fell from her eye and she sighed, hugging her husband close.
     

CHAPTER 10
    “So, Landen and Thea are back from their honeymoon?” asked
Drake the following day.
    “Yeah. They went to Iceland, Ireland and then Paris. Thea
was beside herself with excitement. She showed me pictures upon pictures and
more pictures. I’m glad she had such a great time though. They’re so in love.”
    “I guess they are,” replied Drake, pouring himself a
scotch. “Do you want something to drink?”
    “No thanks. I’m good. And, I told them about us.”
    Drake paused and looked up at her. “You did. I’m guessing
they didn’t have many good things to say about me.”
    “You guessed correctly. They warned me again, saying how
you’d hurt me in the end, and you’re just a player and you know, that you get a
new woman every week practically.”
    Drake walked over to Jill, tilted her chin up to his face
and said, “I haven’t wanted anyone else since I met you. And that’s been what,
almost a month now.”
    “I know. It just makes me nervous.”
    “You? Nervous? Since when?”
    “I don’t know. It’s just that Thea is my oldest and
dearest friend, and I wonder how she can be so wrong about you.”
    “That’s easy. She’s only heard stories told by Landen. She
never took the time to get to know me at all.”
    “You’re right. I know you’re right. Forget I said anything
and come over here and kiss me.”
    Waggling his eyebrows, Drake approached her, grabbed her
around her waist and tossed her over his shoulder. She slapped his tight ass
repeatedly. Drake waltzed into the bedroom and promptly threw Jill on the bed.
Never taking his eyes from hers, he began to undress. The seduction was slow
and sensual. He unbuttoned his shirt slowly revealing his muscled chest. He
pulled the shirt out of the waist of his dress pants and tossed the shirt on a
nearby chair. Next he unbuttoned his pants and lowered the zipper. He pushed
them down his strong thighs along with his boxers as he slid off his shoes and
socks.
    Then he stood in front of her, naked in all his manly
glory. There were ridges and dents and curves all outlining muscles, his abs,
pecs and the vee that led to his cock. Jill licked her lips and sat mesmerized.
    Drake crawled onto the bed and pulled her legs out from
underneath her body. He pulled off
