Hot for Love (Bachelor Billionaire #2) (16 page)

She
laughed at him and made a funny sound.

“
That's
going to be a big job buddy,” she said.

He
told her to unpack while he called Becky to tell her Lisa was going
to stay with him.

Instantly,
Lisa felt her nerves relax and her stomach calm. She hoped she wasn't
making a huge mistake. Why did she feel so comfortable around him? At
least neither of them wanted love. That meant that neither of them
would get hurt, right?

Josh
knew that Lisa would stay at his place for at least another six
weeks. He told her she needed to write a list of foods she wanted. If
she was living there, then she needed to make it her home as well.
She told him he better watch out, she eats gourmet. He told her as
long as she could cook gourmet, he would eat it. He knew there was no
cooking gourmet for her.

She
only had the seven outfits Josh had Becky picked out for her. He knew
she needed some more clothes. On his day off, he told her to get
ready. He was taking her shopping. She argued with him that she
couldn't afford it, and the clothes she had were fine. Why did she
have to be so stubborn?

“
Get
ready,” he said.

“
I
told you no,” she snapped.

“
If
I go by myself, you will be in trouble. I won't buy things you would
approve of. Just save me some money and go with me.”

“
I
am not letting you pay for my clothes, Josh.”

“
You
can work it off on the business.”

He
could tell she was thinking about it.

“
Fine,
but not a lot.”

When
she was dressed, they went to the mall. After ten stores and three
hours, Josh collapsed on a bench. Lisa laughed and asked him what was
wrong. He shook his head.

“
You
are on crutches and I'm the one tired. We need to be done. You shop
to much.”

“
The
big, strong fireman is tired from a little shopping. How do you keep
that body of yours? You were the one that suggested we go shopping.”

“
I
work out, and I am happy to know you approve of my body. I thought we
would go to a couple of stores, not all of them.”

“
Just
one more store. Come on, you'll like this one,” Lisa said, as
she winked at him.

She
grabbed his hand and pulled him off the bench. He whined and
followed.

“
Next
time, I am giving you my credit card, and Becky can take you.”

“
Big
mistake, she can shop more than me. We would max that baby out.”

Josh
laughed out loud. Lisa spent all that time in the stores and only
bought a few things. He knew there was no way she was maxing out
anything. Josh had nice cars and his apartment was large, but he knew
Lisa had no idea how much money he had. He invested his money, and
his restaurants did very well. Josh snickered when she walked into
the fancy panty store.

He
knew she wanted to kick his ass after only a few minutes. Josh
followed her around the store and picked up the tiniest panties he
could find.

“
Hey
baby, these would look great on you. My fingers would slide perfectly
inside of them, don't you think,” he said, loud enough for
everyone to hear.

Her
eyes were open wide and her cheeks very red when she turned to face
him. She shook her head and held in her laugh. He loved that adorable
look on her face. She thought it was funny to laugh about how tired
he was while questioning his manhood. It was his turn to laugh.

“
Really,”
she whispered to him. “Is that supposed to be funny?”

He
smiled brightly and nodded to her. Lisa looked directly into his
eyes, but he didn't flinch. Lisa got a little closer and leaned up to
his ear.

“
Your
fingers would feel good buried deep inside any of these panties,”
she whispered, as she slid her tongue across his ear.

No
damn way she was turning the tables on him. He could feel his cock
harden at her whisper. Josh hadn't been with a woman since Lisa was
hurt in the fire. Her comments were harder on him than usual. Josh
picked up another pair that barely had anything to them.

“
Maybe
these would be better babe,” he smiled. “They would give
me better access to that-”

Lisa
grabbed the back of his head, pulled him down, and thrust her tongue
into his moving lips. He knew she was afraid of what was going to
come out of his mouth. Did she really just kiss him to shut him up?
Oh, it was on.

Josh
wrapped his arms around her back, pulled her against him hard, shoved
his erection between her legs, and claimed her mouth hard. He ground
his hips into her, as he made sure she knew what she was doing to
him. After a very long, hot kiss, he pulled back from her. Josh
straightened his t-shirt and walked out of the store, leaving her
there to catch her breath. It was worth what he was left feeling.

Lisa
walked out into the hallway and looked down at the ground.

“
Let's
go, I don't need anything from there,” she snapped, as she
started to go toward the exit.

“
You
started it,” he snapped.

“
No,
you were the one talking about sliding your fingers into my panties.”

“
You
questioned my manhood. And besides that, you touched me first.”

“
Ugh.”
she grunted, as she crutched away.

They
drove home in silence. Lisa went straight to her room and Josh went
to the office. He needed to get some work done. He could not help
thinking about her kiss. It was like her taste was left behind on his
lips. All he could think about was kissing her. He had never wanted a
woman as bad as he did at that moment. Josh scooted down and leaned
his head on the back of his chair. When his phone beeped, he picked
it up.

“
Are
you done being a baby?” she sent.

“
Don't
start what you can't finish.”

“
Oh,
I can finish.”

“
The
next time you put your lips on me or your hands on my cock, I'm going
to take you up against the wall so hard and deep, that you will never
forget how good I feel inside of you. Do you understand me?”

“
Yes
sir!”

“
Yes
Josh, is what will slip out of those precious lips.”

After
a minute or two he sent another text.

“
You
have been warned. Think about that before you do it again.”

Lisa
could only imagine how hot sex would be with Josh. He had the most
amazing body. She had been with good looking men, but none of their
bodies compared to Josh's. His chest, shoulders, arms, and stomach
were rock hard and gorgeous. She could lick every part of him. His
ass looked good in anything he wore. He was strong. When he kissed
her, there was so much power and force behind it. Just thinking about
the way he kissed her, made her wet between her thighs. He was her
perfect man. She valued his friendship and didn't want to mess that
up.

He
knocked on her door.

“
I'm
making dinner, what do you want to eat?”

She
didn't answer.

“
Answer
me before I open this door.”

“
I'm
not hungry,” she answered.

“
Fine,”
he replied.

Lisa
did not come out of her room the entire night. She felt bad for
upsetting him. He was hot, and she wanted him. She knew it would be
bad for their friendship to do anything sexual with him. A
relationship would never work between them, and meaningless sex never
turned out good. That was something you did with strangers.

Draped
across her bed, she thought about Josh the whole night.

Josh
knocked on her door over and over.

“
What?”
she shouted.

“
Get
up. You said you wanted to help me with my business stuff. It's time
to help.”

“
I'll
be right out,” she said.

He
knew he was hard on her the night before, and he felt bad. She seemed
to really want to help him. He wanted her to know he trusted her and
was willing to take her help. Lisa didn't understand what it did to
him when she touched and kissed him.

Lisa
showed up in his office a half an hour later. He had an extra chair
at his desk for her. He motioned for her to sit down. Josh had a cup
of coffee waiting for her.

“
Good
morning, beautiful,” he said.

“
Good
morning. Thanks for the coffee,” she said.

He
went right into showing her things about his restaurants on the
computer. They worked all morning. He explained the way he kept track
of things and how he compared costs and profits. Josh heard her
stomach growl and told her they could break for lunch.

They
made sandwiches and ate at the table. She continued to ask him
business questions. He was excited that she was so interested in his
work. By the time lunch was over, their awkwardness was gone.

There
were a couple of times that his phone beeped with a text. She
couldn't help but wonder who they were from. He read them, but never
responded. She saw one of them was from someone named Patty and could
not help but feel a bit of jealousy. Stop it, she thought to herself.
She let out a huge breath and grunted.

She
sat with him until it was dark out. There was more to everything than
she thought there would be. He explained how he had to keep each
restaurant separate. She could not believe he was going to open a
fifth one.

“
You
ready for dinner? I think we have gotten a lot done today. It is
going to be nice having your help. I really appreciate it. If you
don't want to do it, you don't have to. I don't expect you do
anything.”

“
I
want to help. I don't want to just sit around for weeks. It drives me
crazy. I am very interested in learning everything you are willing to
teach me. It is great how well you keep your records. You are
amazing,” she said. “Truly amazing.”

“
There
is more to me than just a nice body you know. I went to school for
business and investing. I keep very good records of everything. I
love it. I have passion for all of it. It's fun for me.”

“
When
you're not fighting fires. I don't know how you keep it all straight.
I used to have passion toward business. I love numbers and everything
that has to do with them. I am impressed that you keep such good
information. I am excited to dive in and play with the numbers,”
she said.

They
spent the rest of the week together, when he was home, looking at his
business stuff and working things out. Josh was surprised at how
quickly she picked things up. She had seen all of the numbers for
each of the restaurants. That was something he had never shared with
anyone. He was private when it came to things like that. Josh was
shocked that she had never made a single comment about how much money
they brought in or about the profits.

She
was the first woman that didn't want things from him. It was very
refreshing. Josh looked over at her with a smile.

“
Will
you go with me Sunday to my mom's house?” he asked.

“
I
don't know about that. That is for your family,” she said.
