Page 17 of Unstoppable Billionaire (The Hardcore Novels: Special Editions #2)

She stops, frozen by my hand, and stares at it resting possessively on him. A sneer flits across her mouth. Then she turns her cold blue eyes on me with a look that says, "Who the fuck do you think you are? And you have no idea who you are fucking with!"

I stare directly into those cold blue eyes, unflinching, unafraid, and unimpressed, with my clear, light, crystal green eyes that see right through her bullshit.

My dominant look tells her emphatically, "I don't give a flying fuck who you think you are, and you don't have any idea who you are fucking with, but you should.

" She starts to say something, but my eyes flare and get wild.

Back off, Bitch, or be prepared to bring it on.

Ruth blinks and for a split second, doubt, then fear flash. Her girlfriend touches her arm, and she drops her gaze to the touch. The girlfriend leans in and whispers in her ear. She turns those cold blue eyes on me, her bitch composure back, and laughs, trying to intimidate me.

I smirk. Really? That's a scripted, choreographed, childish bully tactic. Let me show you how a real woman intimidates.

I roll my head, so my hair gathers momentum and swing it off my left shoulder, letting it hang like a curtain between Aurei and me, blocking his view of my face.

I look into her eyes with my wild ones and say loud enough for everyone around to hear.

"Aurei, did you drop something?" I keep my eyes glued on her as I slide my hand down his chest, with purpose, as it heads to his crotch.

She cannot take her eyes off mine for fear I might strike, but she can't help watching the progress of my hand either.

She is unsure what to do, but when my hand slides over the bulge in his pants, she turns her full attention to it.

I stroke it, and it hardens for me.

She blinks.

When I squeeze it, her eyes flare. As she stares at his aroused cock silhouetted, I lean over, so my face is between her eyes and his hard-on and lock her gaze, then smile. Cocking my ass, I push my hand down the inside of his thigh toward the ground.

Her eyes bore into mine until the angle makes it impossible.

When her eyes break for Aurei's cock, I drop my ass to the ground, fling my hair up and over my head in the same dramatic move that got his attention in the lobby when we first met, but this time, I sit like a cat about to spring.

Her eyes are drawn back to mine and what she sees makes her blink.

Doubt and fear flash me again. I narrow my eyes, place my hands on the inside of my thighs, and spread them wide like I did for him to fuck me at the farm.

Her eyes flare in shock at my willingness to expose myself to her, and when she looks up to find Aurei's face in disbelief that this is happening, I thrust my hand to his cock and latch on it. Her eyelids twitch rapidly, trying to absorb my total possession of him and his willingness to let me.

I slowly stand back up, then step in-between her and him, completely blocking her access. Facing her fully, eye to eye, toe to toe, I bite my bottom lip and let it slowly slide off.

That's how you intimate, Bitch.

The confidence is completely gone out of her face. Her eyes are bewildered.

I don't take any shit from anybody, Sista. He is mine!

I face Aurei, satisfied I have won this battle for him. But my heart skips a beat when I look at him.

He is standing tall, proud, and rigid. His face is quiet and outwardly relaxed. To everyone there, he is cool with what happened. But I sense the darkness smoldering. Our eyes lock.

The thunder is back. The intensity blows my mind!

But my eyes stand firm against it, telling him. I can handle your thunder.

His jaw sets, and he closes the remaining gap between us. His hand slides up my hip to my breast. He copes a quick hard feel, and then it's on the way to the nape of my neck. He wraps his fingers in my hair there and pulls my face to his.

I can feel his breath on my face, but I don't back down.

My eyes are not wild or challenging, nor wild or defiant eyes, but wild, passionate eyes that clearly state, you are mine, and I don't share!

I only give him the look for just a moment, then I heed his thunder, take a deep visible breath and exhale.

Blowing softly on his face as I break our gaze, I look down submissively.

Then with my next deep breath, I raise my wild eyes to tell him and tell him.

Territory marked. I'm done.

I let my eyes caress his face, and his body relaxes. Then I look down again, submitting to him completely.

He pulls my face up, making me look into his eyes. I see the desire to own me but not control me.

I smile to reassure him, locking my wild with his thunder.

With my next deep breath, he joins me, and together we gain control of our raging natures, breathing together as one.

I become aware that Ruth is still standing there. I can feel her eyes boring into the back of my head.

When Aurei releases my hair, he slides his hand down to my ass and squeezes it, then he puts it around my waist and pulls me tight against him.

We look at Ruth as one.

She has stood there waiting, unsure if his thunder is directed at me or for me.

It is obvious now. It is for me. She looks first at me dazed, then at Aurei, confused.

Her eyes drop to his arm around my waist, and I lay my hand on his chest. Her friend again touches her arm.

She snatches away but turns and walks with her silently to her pack.

The people around us start talking at once to each other or texting on their phones.

The guy behind us slaps Aurei on the back. "Fuck, man! That was crucial!"

Aurei laughs with him politely as I watch her walk back to her bitches. Although I handled her, jealousy is a new emotion for me.

Damn! I could have clawed her eyes out and eaten them.

Aurei rubs my arm absentmindedly. I observe the pack when she arrives. The other girls all gather around, not knowing exactly what happened, and they crucify me with their stares and whispers.

The bouncer comes back out, and we hear a snippet of Taylor Swift's "Red." The crowd starts complaining about the doors being closed and wanting to listen to the music. He ignores them and walks down the line looking for someone.

Brandy hands me my jacket and smiles. "Bravo in putting Ruthless in her place."

"Ah, that's a fitting nickname." I smile as I take it from her. "Thanks for holding it."

"No problem. I think I know where we've seen you before."

Aurei takes my jacket from me and nods to the bouncer. He is pointing at us with two fingers motioning for us to follow him. I turn back to Brandy and say as Aurei cinches our fingers and pulls me away. "It was nice meeting you two."

The bouncer tells us. "Y'all can come on in."

As we follow him, people begin to boo loudly, and it runs down the line.

The bouncer stops and tells us. "Y'all go on in.

" He stands, watching the line for trouble.

We are almost to the door when it opens, and several servers bring a table out, followed by a couple of huge speakers that blast us with "Red.

" Three cashiers are set up to process people faster, and four servers head down the line to take drink orders. Now everyone cheers!

When we walk by Ruthless and her crew of bitches, I lock eyes with her. She shoots daggers, but I smile sweetly, bring Aurei's hand up to my mouth and kiss it. He glances at me and smiles at my gesture, totally oblivious to Ruth.

She's seeing red!

We stop at the table to get our hands stamped, then head inside.
