Billionaire's Bounty Cost Of Love And Revenge novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73

Luca’s POV

I stared at her, my eyes twinkling with admiration. “You look…”

“What?” she asked, blinking rapidly.

I pulled her closer until she was pressed up against me, tucking her hair away from her face and cupping her cheeks. “You look like a snack, Janine, and want to eat you up

She giggled. “Okay then?”

“Okay?” Lasked, unsure. With Janine, I always took my time. She wasn’t like the other girls. She meant so much more to me. I was afraid to hurt her afraid to do anything she didn’t like.

She nodded, her eyes shining brightly

1 gripped her jaw and drew her in. I kissed her tenderly at first, savoring the feeling of her soft lips against mine. My hands slipped around her waist.

Then, before I knew it, she stood on her tiptoes, her hands wrapping around me as she deepened the kiss. Her tongue probed my lips, and let her, surrendering to her. With the other women in my life, I was always in charge. Not with Janine. Sho was like an enigma to me. Apparently, Janine didn’t feel that way because her arms tightened around me, and she jumped on me.

I grabbed her thighs, so she was straddling me. She fiddled with my shirt buttons, and I gripped her bottom through her jeans. We locked lips, our hands wandering all over each other. Then I pulled away.

“Are you sure about this, Janine?” I asked.

She nodded briskly, “Yes, I am.” She cupped my cheeks. “Don’t stop, Luca.”

That was my cue. I picked her up and undid the buttons of her jeans. She helped me out of my shirt. We were past the point of no return–breaths ragged, clothes practically begging to be torn off – when I heard it.

“Luca!”

Asher’s voice, booming and sharp, cut through the moment like a bucket of ice water

I froze. Janine tensed, her wide eyes meeting mine. “Shit,” i hissed, pulling back. “Bathroom. Now”

She blinked at me, lips swollen and parted, but nodded, scrambling toward the bathroom. I barely had time to straighten my shirt when the door swung open. I turned around sharply.

Asher stood there, his eyes darting around the room before landing on me. “Luca. Why are you standing in the middle of the room like a psychopath?”

I cleared my throat dramatically, forcing a chuckle. “Uh… nothing. Because it’s my room?” I winced at my own words, but didn’t wait for his reaction. “Why are you barging into my room! I could be with a ivoman—”

“PM” Asher peered around. “You’d never bring any of your conquests to y

your house, so I know”

I rushed toward him and pushed him out. “Come on, let’s talk in the living room.” Janine definitely didn’t need to hear about any of my sexual activities.

I grabbed his arm, trying to steer him away from the danger zone, but he resisted. “Wait. Something’s not right

“Living room. Now I didn’t give him a choice, practically dragging him down

Once

we were safely in the living room, let go, turning to lace him. His face was tense, jaw tight. Whatever he came here for wasn’t just a social call

“Okay, spill: What’s going on?” I asked, crossing my hems.

“How do you know something’s up?”

I gave him a look. “You are in my house. It’s only noon, and you barged into my bedrnem?”

He gave me a look. “You’re still hammering on the bedroom subject. Is there anything!–

“I’ll get the alcohol. That’ll surely make you start talking I grabbed a scotch and two glasses. I poured us each a glass and pushed one toward him, “Sor

Asher exhaled heavily, running a hand through his hair, Temembered. The club. That night”

I blinked at him, then raised an eyebrow. “It’s about time.”

His expression didn’t change. If anything, it darkened. Something was eating at him. “What did you do, Asher I pressed, my voice quieter now.

He hesitated, fingers drumming on the table. “Taylor came to my office today. She showed me pictures, Luca. Of me and her, I was with her in that hotel room that night.”

My stomach dropped. “Shit.” Iran a hand down my face. “Shit, shit, shit.”

“I don’t remember anything that happened that night. I can’t remember, but the pictures are there, and no, they aren’t doctored. It’s me and her…” he trailed oll

“Blackmail?” I asked the

He nodded, shoulders slouched. “I don’t even know what she wants. She won’t even say. She just has these pictures, and I know she’s going to use

I sighed. “I’m sorry, man. I introduced you to her.”

“And I took her to bed,”
