Billionaire's Bounty Cost Of Love And Revenge novel Chapter 77

Chapter 76

Asher’s POV

Ivy leaned closer to me on her tiptoes as she tried to fix my black bow tie. She was so close I couldn’t help but inhale her scent. She smelled of the loveliest flowers, her scent was intoxicating. I brought my nose to the crook of her neck and inhaled deeply.

She inched away, giggling uncontrollably. “That tickles…”

“You really can’t come?” I asked for the umpteenth time, giving her the puppy dog eyes.

She smoothed my dress and pulled back. “I told you I can’t. I have a shoot in the city in a few hours,” she glanced at her wristwatch, “2, 3 hours. It’s a simple shoot, and also Janine and I have a coffee date for later in the evening. So yes, I have quite the commitment.”

He exhaled and shook his head. “You know Janine is hanging out with you as an excuse to get out of a family event?”

She flashed me a wide grin. “Is she now? I’m flattered she’s picking me over family?”

“Hey,” I knew she was joking, but I still needed her to know it. “You know I’d ditch them in a heartbeat if you say the word?” I asked and slipped my hand around her waist, pulling her close. “You only just have to ask. I don’t even want to be there. A night out with the Sterlings is torture. I could call in sick-

She cupped my cheeks, “Hey, you have to go. I know it’s important for you and your family,” she brushed off invisible specks off my dress, “You’re a Sterling, Asher, you’ll be fine. None of them in that room are a Sterling more than you are. So you’re going to hold your head high and walk into that room like you own the place, like you belong there because you do.”

I broke into a smile. “When you get like this, you make me fucking hard,” I whispered in her ear.

She playfully swatted away at my arm. “Stop!” she was fighting hard to hide her blush. “You’re already running late for your event.”

I gripped her ass and pulled her close. “You say one thing, and yet your whole body responds differently.”

She let out a small yelp when she was pressed against me. I leaned closer and kissed her softly on the lips, my hands wrapped tight around her as I deepened the kiss. She melted into my arms instantly.

Her lips moving with mine. Soon everything else was forgotten, the event I was already late for, the fact that I was dressed in my crisp tuxedo and didn’t need it to wrinkle. I rubbed her ass cheeks and squeezed hard, and then I lifted her up so she could straddle me. I was walking up to the bed when she pulled away and jumped down.

“Asher, we can’t-” her face was flustered, “Your tux…”

“Hey, flower, none of that matters.” I tried to calm her down, but she wouldn’t stop fussing.

“You have wrinkles on your dress…”

“And a hard dick,” I cut in.

She lowered her gaze to look at the bulge in my pants, I grinned when she lingered.

My hands wandered down to her ass, “I don’t think you’re helping any bit, flower. I think you made it worse. Now I have a hard–on, and I’m going to spend all night at that event thinking about how hot it got between us…”

She bit down on her lower lip and glanced at me from underneath long lashes, “I could help with that…”

I was gawking at her, and then I pulled her close so she was pressed up against me, “Don’t tease me, Ivy. Don’t…” my voice was husky, “I’m going to hurl your ass on this bed, and fucking is all we are gonna do all night.”

She stared at me, there was that innocent look in her eyes and also the flushed cheeks. I knew she was shy, but the mischievous glint her eyes told me she was going to go ahead with whatever she had in mind. She was slowly breaking out of her shell with me, and I loved it. Nothing prepared me for

when she got on her knees.

I swallowed, “Ivy…” my voice was strained.

She batted her eyes at me, and in that moment, it took everything in me not to nut in my pants.

I shut my eyes and swallowed, “If you keep looking at me like this, Ivy, I’m afraid I’m going to cum before you get to it.” God! She was so freaking hot kneeling in front of me, her dainty fingers undoing my buckle and the zipper of my pants.

“You can’t stain your pants, Asher…” Her voice was barely above a whisper.

I licked my lips, a small smirk on my lips. I loved the innocent and shy Ivy, but I loved the naughty one more. I gripped her chin, so she was looking up at me, “Then you’re going to have to take all of me in that pretty little mouth of yours, flower, aren’t you?” my voice was a deep baritone.

She nodded and swallowed, and as she did, my eyes wandered to her slender throat. I wrapped my fingers around it lightly, she purred when I did. My cock throbbed in my pants at her reaction. She noticed because she pulled out my erect cock from my briefs.

I caught the look of desire in her eyes with my cock dangling in front of her face. She lowered her lips and took me in her mouth.

let out a low groan at the back of my throat. I needed something to steady myself. Ivy was doing my head in, I didn’t understand my body’s easy response to her. Her lips pushed and pulled up and down my hard cock. I sucked in a deep breath, “Fuck, flower…” I brushed her hair away from her face, so I could stare at her beautiful face as she took me in her mouth.

She began teasing me, all the while, her eyes never left mine. She slid her tongue up and down my length, traced her tongue around the tip of my cock.

“Mmm…” I murmured in pleasure, “Fuck, this feels good,” I said, caressing her head, “Your mouth feels good wrapped around my cock, flower.”

She stopped momentarily to flash me the most beautiful smile I had ever seen, and then she took me in her mouth, her hands worked from under while she bobbed her head up and down on my cock.

I slipped a hand into her hair and lightly tugged at it. I moved my hips to meet her mouth halfway, I growled out a few low satisfied groans. It wasn’t long before I shuddered, I made to pull away, but she stayed put.

“Flower…,” I held her head in place, and I shot my cum into the back of her throat.

Just like she said, she didn’t let me stain my pants. She sucked me clean before pulling away.

“That was so fucking hot,” I said in a raspy voice, “You know what’s going to make it hotter?”

She shook her head, a small smile tugging at the corner of her lips.

“You do this again when I come home with no clothes on,” I said in a whisper. Something about the image of her naked, on her knees with my cock in her mouth made me hard again.

↓ straightened the collar of my tuxedo as I strode in. The paparazzi went wild as soon as they noticed me walk in. I stopped so they could get a few pictures, I even posed for the cameras, waved at a few of them, and grinned widely. Now usually, I wouldn’t, I had enough media attention to last me a lifetime, but I was in a great mood tonight all because of her. Ivy. I exhaled, oh, that mouth could do something…

“What are you wearing, Mr. Sterling?” one of the people on the red carpet yelled, pulling me away from my musing, which was a good thing. The last thing I needed was a picture of my bulging pants circulating the Internet.

I waved politely and strode through the small crowd that had formed around the entrance. My bodyguards cleared a path for me.

“Is your wife, Ivy, here with you?” Another one yelled.

“Asher Sterling, what’s tonight going to be like for you and your new company?”

“I guess we’ll find out,” I muttered under my breath as I walked in. The hall was decorated like all the other numerous halls we had held events in the past. I grabbed a champagne flute from a waiter passing by. When I looked ahead, I saw Marcus waving at me. He was standing with my father and

another man who looked familiar.

I exhaled and took a large sip as I walked up to them, I tipped my head, “Father.” I extended a hand to the other man.

“Asher Sterling.”

I grinded my feet already feeling terrible that I didn’t recognize him when he shook my hand, “Savio Miniati,” he introduced himself.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Miniati,” I said with a polite smile. My father gripped my shoulders, “Mr. Miniati is our new investor. He’s hoping to come aboard the new Sterling project.”

I nodded in understanding. Marcus punched my arm, a little harder than was necessary, “It’s so unlikely to see my brother arrive on time for anything this is a first,” he said aloud with a chortle, like he has just delivered the most funny joke ever.

I bit the inner corner of my mouth and mustered up a smile, “Some of us hate all the boring speeches at the beginning of the event.”

Mr. Miniati chuckled.

I didn’t miss the annoyed look on Marcus’s face.

“Oh, I also hate the boring and unnecessary speeches at every event, Asher,” Mr. Miniati turned to my father, “No offense, Mr. Sterling, for what it’s worth, I think you deliver great speeches.”

My dad merely shrugged. He glanced between the two of us and then back at the man, “Mr. Miniati, there are a few people I want you to meet….”

Asher’s POV

I tried to walk away, but Marcus stopped me. “How’s Ivy?” he asked.

I had a smartass reply at the tip of my tongue, but I decided against it. “What is it, Marcus?” I didn’t want to deal with him any longer than i had to.

He shrugged. “A lot of people would love to see her. I, for one, would love to see her. If she doesn’t show up for important family events like this, then it has me thinking, is something up?”

I couldn’t help but grin. “Marcus, Ivy and I are fantastic. If you would like to know, there’s nothing…”

He turned around. “Meet my plus one, Asher. Isn’t she a beauty?”

I looked up and stared in the direction he was pointing at. It was Taylor. She was wearing a shimmery black halter neck dress, her hair tied back in a slick bun, with a wide smile on her face as she sashayed towards us.

What the heck? I cursed under my breath. How? How was she with Marcus? Where did they even meet? Wasn’t she just with Luca the other time? My eyes widened. Could she have told him?

Taylor got closer, and she and Marcus hugged and exchanged a chaste kiss.

My head was spinning. What was her game? What did she get out of hanging out with people close to me? Was she opening up to them about what she had on me, or was it a fear tactic? To keep me on edge, so I could always be terrified, like this.

I fixed my bow tie, suddenly feeling sweaty.

“She’s hot, isn’t she, Asher?” Marcus asked.

I murmured my reply.

“Asher, meet Taylor. Taylor’s a model, just like Ivy. She’s my plus one for tonight.” He took her hand and brought it to his lips.

Meanwhile, Taylor’s eyes were boring into me, a mischievous smile on her lips.

“We met only a few days ago at a club. You won’t believe it,” he dryly chuckled. “Unlike my brother, I’d spend Friday nights working rather than dancing at a club. We met, and I believe it’s the start of something wonderful…”

I merely nodded. I was undecided. Should I act like I didn’t know her or like I did? She still had that smug smile on her face, and I was sick of it already. She didn’t say anything, so I assumed she was pretending not to know me.

“Taylor, meet my little brother, Asher. He’s obnoxious, but he’s a Sterling-”

“Oh, 1 know him alright. We’ve already met,” she said and broke into a wide smile.

I swallowed.

Marcus looked stunned. I could almost guess what was going through his mind right now. His new “interest” could just be another girl I had something with in the past. This had already happened too often. I could see him slowly lose his control. I didn’t have anything to do with Taylor. She wasn’t one of the women I had an interest in then, not even now. I wanted to debunk it. I wanted to tell him it wasn’t what he was thinking, but I knew it would be a bold–faced lie. There were pictures and videos that said otherwise, pictures only she had…

Marcus’s jaw clenched hard. “You know my brother, how?”

Taylor’s eyes widened in realization. “God, no! Not how you’re thinking.”

I knew better than to be fooled by her acting.

Chapter 77

I met Asher the first time he accompanied Ivy to the studio. Ivy and I ate such good friends, you know…

Liar

“Asher here is such a devoted husband. My friend is lucky, isn’t she, Asher?” she asked, looking straight at me with that wicked glint in her eyes.

I didn’t respond.

Marcus let out an audible sigh of relief. “My brother has been such a tool all his life. I immediately started to think he got his hands on you somehow…

She stared lovingly into his eyes and placed her hand on his chest. “Hey, Marcus, that hasn’t happened…”

Fool. My brother Marcus was a fool because he was actually staring at this lying woman with puppy dog eyes, like she was the best thing to ever happen to him. She was lying, and it sucked that he couldn’t tell.
