“Don’t say a word.” His fingers roll around and tug at my tender nipples, which harden to his touch. His mouth soon reaches the tip of my breast, the tingling sensation sending shivers through me.

“Turn. I want you from behind.”

I comply, turning my back to him.

His erection nudges against the lips of my sex. With a single swing of his hips, he pushes deep into me, his breath hissing. Every inch of my skin is sensitive, every nerve on attention, as Richard drills into me, hard.

I suck in some air, finding it hard to breathe. Moans escape my throat, echoing around the living room. He grabs my waist and plunges deeper.

“The things you do to me.”

Quivering, my body tenses, and I climax with a breathless moan, my body shuddering as the ecstasy rippled through me.

Richard grunts, his thrusts faster than ever. I move my hips to meet his fierce lunges, urging him on. He lets go of my waist and holds my shoulder, pinning me down and riding me hard and fast. With a loud groan, he pulls out of me and erupts violently, flooding my back.

When he’s finished, he releases a heavy breath and lifts me in his arms.

“Let’s go for a picnic on Saturday.”

I wrap my arms around him. “Sure thing.”

Chapter 17

Richard

“Runmethroughitone more time. I can’t afford any further setbacks. If I’m going to offer another bid, I have to make sure it’s convincing enough. I must have a successful takeover of Emerald.”

Thomas, my financial officer, adjusts his glasses. “You have a bid set already, along with your terms, sir. A wealthy sum, plus the current CEO keeps her position for a set duration of time. I’d advise five years sir.”

I nod. Sounds good enough.

“Your second option is to buy off a majority of shares outright. This is a more indirect approach. It’s going to work better if there’s something that reduces the stock prices of the company. A scandal, maybe.”

I’m still working on that.

“What’s your decision, sir? A buyout or direct bid?”

I consider the options. The sooner I acquire Emerald and merge with Vibrant, the better.

“Hold that thought. I’m going to contact my attorney.”

I ring up Alex’s number. He answers on the second ring.

“Richie? What’s up? Good morning.”

“Morning, Lex. It’s about Vibrant Corp.”

“Hmm. Talk to me. What about it? If it’s about me coming back, I told you, I’ll soon–”

“No. You don’t have to be here. I just need your legal advice. What’s the best way to take over a company, on a legal standing?”

Alex pauses for a moment. “Legally, there’s nobestway. As long as it’s within the law, it’s good enough. However, for me, it’ll be a direct approach.”

“Direct approach, as in offering a bid to such an organization?”

“That’s the best way, Richie.”

“Humor me, Lex. Let’s say I’d made offers that are normally too good to refuse but are still being refused. What do I do then?”
