Free Taking What He Wants (Celine and Rhyland series) by Iris Deorre

Chapter One
     
    ‘Sir she’s here.’
    ‘Thank you Finn please give her the bag.’
    ‘Yes sir.’
    Finn walked to the corner of the office and picked up the black bag Rhyland his boss had given him.
    ‘This is for you.’ He gave it to Celine.
    ‘What’s this for?’
    He shrugged and looked about him then stepped aside. The office building was empty. Everyone had gone home from the contracting site, just one of Rhylands many businesses.
    Celine opened the bag, in it was a note. It read: It’s Christmas soon, be of good cheer! From now on until Christmas when you come to see me I want you in this gear.
    She scrunc hed the note and tossed it back in the bag. Things had changed a lot for her since she’d met Rhyland. She thought back to the very day.
    One month ago
    It happened at one of the pubs she was working at. He’d been watching her the minute he’d stepped in. She was dark a beautiful and nothing like the women he’d seen. There was something about her that he liked, that he wanted to possess. He sat around with Finn, his driver, personal assistant and everything in between and just waited. It was only after the crowd had died down and she changed shifts with the new girl did he decided he wanted to approach her. He waited for her to leave from behind the bar. She ordered a drink then walked over to the other side of the pub to join a group of friends. He watched as he drank, watched her laugh, watched her tease a guy that was part of the group. He wondered if they liked each other, it was in the body language, but that was beside the point. Rhyland always got what he wanted and that night he wanted her.
    It was half an hour later that Rhyland decided it was time to go and speak to her. He ordered another of what she was drinking and moved smoothly across the crowds towards the group of young people. He stood at the table; there was a moment of awkward silence that was quickly broken by Ava the beautiful blond who always got what she wanted. But not this time, the gorgeous Rhyland by-passed her and walked straight for Celine.
    ‘Ooooh…’ Came sounds from the group, it was the first time Ava had ever been ignored and she didn’t like it one bit.
    ‘Rhyland.’ He introduced himself and offered her the drink.
    Celine studied him for a moment. He was tall and handsome with jet black hair, he wore a suit, not any suit, she could tell that it had been tailor made to fit him perfectly. He smelt amazing, nothing like the university guys she knew. There was something very intimidating about him and yet it drew her in.
    ‘ Celine,’ she said finally and took a sip of the drink he’d given her.
    Both her friends Ava and Harvey eyed her cautiousl y, she knew better than to take a drink from a stranger. The rest of the group seemed to drunk to care what she poured down her throat.
    ‘Would you like to come and join me? I have a private booth,’ he said.
    ‘Why would I want to do that?’ She eyed him.
    He smiled, he liked her already. He moved in closer so that his mouth was on her ear and began to whisper.
    ‘Because you’re curious, because I have an of fer you simply can’t resist, because you’re a woman who won’t be able to turn down the offer.’ He moved away leaving her breathing heavily.
    The sound of his voice, the breeze against her ear took her breath away. Never in her life had any man been in t he position to make her go weak at the knees. She looked at her friends and pursed her lips. Rhyland watched as she struggled with it. He knew what she wanted to do, he knew what most women would do, all he had to do was wait.
    ‘Okay but only for half an hour,’ she said finally.
    ‘Ce?’ Ava shrieked.
    ‘I’m curious; I’m dying to find out.’
    ‘I’m glad.’ Ryhland took her hand and led her away from the group and towards his private booth.
    When they arrived Finn stepped out to give them a little privacy. Rhyland smiled at the black beauty, there were so many things running around
