Free Billionaire's Blackmail Bride: Billionaire Brothers Kent - Ridge's Story (The BAD BOY BILLIONAIRES Series) by Judy Angelo Page B

think she could stop him? He turned to face her. “I’m
leaving,” he said, his voice stone cold. “You’re driving me crazy. I’m getting
out of here before I do something I regret.”
    That should have been enough to send any woman running, but not
Lani. Instead of accepting his declaration and backing down in defeat, her face
tightened. “You’re not going anywhere.”
    Now Ridge did laugh. He couldn’t help it. At his six-foot-four
height and brawny build was he really being bullied by a woman a foot shorter
than he was? “You gotta be kidding me,” he said with a snort. “Who’s going to
stop me? You?” It was more a sneer of disdain than a question.
    She didn’t answer. At least not in words. Before he even realized
what she was doing Lani was inside the room, standing right in front of him,
her eyes flashing with fury. She caught him by surprise when her hand shot out
and grabbed his tie. She yanked on it hard, almost breaking his neck. “I said
you’re not going anywhere.”
    Her hands shot up again but this time it was to grab fistfuls of his
shirt then she was pushing against his chest, pushing with all her might,
propelling him backwards toward the bed.
    He could have stopped her. Easy. If he’d planted his feet firmly on
the ground she couldn’t have moved him an inch. But he couldn’t believe it. The
wee woman had him in shock. The little elf had actually gotten it into her head
that she could boss him around.
    Ridge was so bemused by his wife’s fearless behavior that he didn’t
notice they’d reached the bed until she gave him a hearty shove in the chest,
sending him tumbling backwards.
    Before he could recover she was on top of him, straddling him even
as she pulled at his tie, quickly loosening it and throwing it onto the floor.
Then she was attacking his shirt, not pausing to loosen the buttons but ripping
it open, sending buttons flying.
    “Hey, that’s the second shirt in two days.” He didn’t get the chance
to say another word.
    Lani clamped his face in her hands and lowered her lips to his then
she was kissing him fiercely, so hungrily that she was like a woman gone wild.
What made it worse, as she kissed him she was moaning like she really wanted
this. Was she faking or was this real? God, she was driving him insane.
    Panting now, wanting her like he’d never wanted her before, Ridge
moved his hands up to capture her and lift her off him, breaking the kiss.
    “Why did you do that?” she wailed, trying to get back on top of him.
    But he wouldn’t let her. He put up a hand to block her attempt to
straddle his waist again. “I can’t deal with this,” he growled. “This damn teasing.
You’re driving me crazy.”
    To his surprise, Lani gave him a sly smile. “Who says I’m teasing?”
she asked, her voice seductive and soft.
    And at the sound of those words Ridge felt his heart stop and his
hardness swell in his pants.

    Lani wanted Ridge so bad her heart felt like it was ready to burst
out of her chest. She’d always known she wanted him but her anger had always
been that brake that kept her from giving him her all. But now, with the threat
of him leaving for good, her anger had to take a back seat. There were other,
more important things on the table right now, like holding on to this man, like
fucking his brains out.
    Yeah, she would go there. She’d turned bold, she’d turned forceful
and she’d turned rude. Right now she didn’t give a damn about decorum. She
wanted Ridge here and now and she would have him even if it meant she would
have to turn into a big, bad bitch to do it. She might be small in body but
when it came to getting what she wanted she could be as big and bold as the
best of them.
    Grabbing his shirt as it flapped open, Lani heaved, letting Ridge
know that she wanted him to rise.
    Thank goodness he didn’t resist. Eyes deep, dark and intense he
raised up from how she’d had him lying flat on his back and when she kept
tugging he
