Free Damien: Billionaire Bad Boy Romance by Ellen Harper Page A

“That’s my new secretary, Audrey. She’s the one who’s been taking your calls.”
     
    “Oh, I know,” Richard said casually. “She’s adorable to speak with, Damien. That cute little mistake about my name!” His sarcastic tone made me shudder. “I can see exactly why you’re obsessed with her.”
     
    I frowned. “That’s not true,” I said.
     
    “Oh, don’t worry, Damien. You don’t have to lie to me. Not anymore. I know exactly what you’re up to, and don’t forget it.”
     
    “What do you want?”
     
    Hodges laughed. “Well, I want to own LennoxCo,” he said. “And maybe change the name to something a little more fitting. I don’t think 'Damien Is A Loser' would fit on the tax forms, but HodgesCo sure would.”
     
    I bristled, feeling angry and tense beneath my skin. “That’s what you think,” I hissed. “You know I’d never sell anything to you. You’re not even getting a single share of this company, asshole. When we go public, you’re forbidden from buying any shares.”
     
    “Oh, planning an IPO?”
     
    I could have smacked myself. I’d never meant to reveal that to Hodges.
     
    “Damien, it’s okay,” Hodges said in a soothing voice. “We’re old friends. You don’t have to keep secrets from me!”
     
    “I’m not keeping anything from you,” I growled.
     
    “Good, then you won’t put up much of a fight when I decide to dig out that paperwork from the consulting firm and show it to a few friends,” Hodges said. “I have to run, Damien. Bye now!” He hung up before I could respond.
     
    I stared at the phone for a long time after Richard had hung up.

    At the end of the day, there was a soft knock on my door. I knew it was Audrey before I could even call out and tell her to come in. Unusually, she didn’t wait for me to say anything before she pushed the door open and strode into my office. It was the most assertive thing I’d ever seen her do.
     
    “Damien?” Standing in front of my desk, Audrey was meek and quiet once more. She shifted, reaching her arm up and crossing over her shoulder to scratch an itch on the back of her neck.
     
    As I watched her twist and writhe in front of me, lust exploded in my loins. I need to have her. I’ve got to have her. Right. Now.
     
    “Audrey, come here.” My voice was stern.
     
    Audrey stepped forward. She ducked her head down, then walked around the side of my desk and stood directly in front of me. Even with the slight heels on her shoes, she was still incredibly diminutive. I could tell she was shaking with fear and arousal.
     
    I put my hands on her shoulders and kissed her passionately. Audrey didn’t respond at first. Then, as her mouth began to warm up to mine, she melted into my arms. I felt all resistance leaving her body as my tongue slipped between her parted lips. Amazingly, she tasted like strawberries.
     
    Audrey moaned softly. She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me down close, until our bodies were pressed against each other. Underneath all of the baggy clothes, she really did have an amazing figure—I could feel a taut stomach and a nice, curvy rack. I groaned into Audrey’s mouth as she trailed her hands down my back. Her touch was feather light and gentle, as though she was afraid that she’d hurt me. As good as her hands felt on my body, I wanted to be in charge. I wanted to be the one in control.
     
    Quickly, I grabbed both of Audrey’s wrists with one of my hands and held her arms over her head. Her arms were thin and she was light. I could tell that her toes were struggling to stay on the ground as I raised her arms high in the air. Audrey didn’t struggle. Instead, she pressed against me and caressed my tongue with her own. The soft, wet feel of her hot lips against my mouth was too much and my cock stiffened and twitched in my pants. I was so desperate for her, I felt like I was going to explode if I didn’t fuck her right here and now.
