The Return of the Tycoon (8 page)

She
stumbled on a sheet of paper
on the last page
—a magazine cutout that looked vaguely familiar. It was a house. The house they were in right now. Then, she remembered.

“Nick?” she calle
d out, opening the door. Moments
later, he was
up the stairs and
in her room.

“Is this what I think it is?” she asked, pointing at the magazine cutout.

“
Yeah,” he nodded.

“Nick,” she felt herself tear up again.

“
It’s funny; I remember this better than you do,” he said, smiling, “
You found this house
profoundly
beautiful. I did some research on it back then, remember? A wealthy ship captain who had married an Indian girl had apparently built the house. His bride had loved San Francisco, but the one thing she missed was her favorite fruit. The captain, a romantic at heart, had these tiles commissioned just for her.”

“I can’t believe you remembered,
”
she said.

“I can’t believe y
ou forgot. But I’m here to remind you,” he anwered
.

Julie put her arms around him, and seconds later, they were lost in a kiss.

“So you read the diary, I take it,” he said. She nodded.

“Does this mean you forgive me?” he asked soft
ly
.

“I want to let the past go and, crazy as it sounds, try this again,” Julie answered. Reaching up, she placed her arms around his neck, drawing him nearer to her. “I don’t want us to be apart ever again.”

“
Jules
,” Nick murmured, tucking her head under his
chin and kissing her hair. “
I’m sorry about
what a fool I’ve been, everything,
the misunderstanding with Angela last night; she is my tax lawyer And Tina—”

Leaning back, Julie placed a finger over his lips. “Shhh,” she shushed him. “None of that matters anymore. Just kiss me.”

He wasted no time giving in to her request. Julie lost herself in the kiss again, wrappi
ng her arms tightly around him.
At last, there was nothing keeping her and Nick apart.
She also felt no doubt of his raw desire – a powerful need for her body that she had never felt from anyone e
lse. That need was a drug
she desperately wanted.

As they stood together there, his hand found its way to her ass, and she thrilled to think how much this
man adored touching her there.
For all of the different ways she submitted herself to his will, she knew that her feminine curves held the ultimate power over him.

“To the bedroom,” he whispered, picking her up.

“To the bedroom,” Julie agreed, twining her legs around his waist as he carried her. He deposited her on the bed, simultaneously unfastening her jeans and sliding them off her hips. 

Nick
wasted no time blazing a searing trail of kisses down her throat, sliding her T-shirt over her
breasts and unhooking her bra.
Julie smiled to herself, running her fingers through his short hair.

She arched her back and moaned when his lips found one of her nipples. He latched on, sucking deeply and sending a bolt of desire shooting through Julie’s body.
Nicholas placed his hands on Julie’s pretty little waist.  As he kissed her with years of missed passion, he rolled onto his back.  Using the strength of his arms, he pulled her lit
he little body over top of his,
positioning her sex over the tip of his cock.

Looking straight into her eyes, he drove her down on top of him.  “Mmmm,” he cried out as her body gave in.
Julie gasped at the feel of his thick cock filling her. She lifted her hips to meet him, wanting to feel him as deeply as she could.

“Do you like that?” Nick murmured, slipping his thumb in his mouth and placing it on her clitoris. Julie lost her ability to answer. Arching her back, she groaned aloud as his thumb ran circles around her most sensitive zone. Slowly, he pumped himself in and out of her, exiting almost com
pletely before thrusting all the way back
. It was all too much for Julie, and she found herself quickly nearing release. Trembling, she reached and pulled Nick down on top of her. Pulling her tightly against him, he seemed to sense her desire for closeness.
And then Julie, straddling Nicholas and riding urgently up and down his erection, whimpered softly as one more orgasm washed over her. With him still moving up and down inside her, she leaned down to place her face on his chest.  And as she shuddered one last time against his body, she leaned up to his lips. 

“I’m so gla
d we found each other again,” Nick whispered, his lips grazing her
earlobe.

“Me, too,” Julie panted, interlocking her fingers behind his back.

The room went silent and they just lay in peace and listened to the calm sounds of the wind outside for what seemed like hours. They were happy.

The phone vibrated on the table. “I think I know who this might be,” Julie sighed.

“
Ugh.
Let me just block her
al
together,” Nick said and reached for the phone, but Julia got it first.

“I’ll have the pleasure of doing that if you don’t mind,” she said. A moment later, she froze, her lips parted, eyes glued to the display.

“Nick, this can’t be true, can it?” she gasped and turned the phone toward him. Indeed, it

was a text message from Tina.
W
e need to talk.
Nick,
I’m pregnant
was what it read.
