Chapter 102

Mia

After Aria had enthusiastically showed me her painting, which to my pleasant surprise turned out to be of us playing in the park on Sunday, I headed back to my room to shower and change for dinner while Aria had her private piano lesson with Mrs. West.

Twenty minutes later, I had finished showering and was about to put on my cute dress when I heard Aria’s voice in the distance, across the hallway.

“Is Uncle Scott and Uncle Eric really coming tonight? I can’t wait to see them. I missed them so much ’cause I haven’t seen them for a while. Will Grandpa be coming as well? Will he? Will he?”

I didn’t miss the urgent excitement in her voice. I heard James chuckle and then say, “Yes, sweetheart, Uncle Scott and Uncle Eric are coming but not Grandpa. He’s still in Japan.”

“In Japan? Again? Oh, I know. Next time when he goes to Japan, maybe we all can go there too. Like as a family. Grandpa, Uncle Scott, Uncle Eric, Daddy, me, and Mia. Like a very big family. It’s gonna be so much fun, right, Daddy? I want to go to Japan. Can we please, Daddy?”

James laughed. “Of course we can. How about when you have your next vacation?”

At this, I heard Aria shrieking with delight.

“Now then, haven’t you made Mrs. West wait long enough? She’ll be upset if you don’t return to your piano lesson.”

“I know… But she knows you just got home, and I told her I missed you and wanted to kiss you and talk to you for a bit and that I can’t wait. She told me it’s okay, so that’s why I came to see you… But I’m going to go back now.”

James chuckled again. “Good girl.”

“But really, I can’t wait to see Uncle Scott and Uncle Eric, Daddy.” She paused for a moment and then continued. “Okay. Okay. I’m gonna go now.”

I heard James say, “Have fun at your lesson.”

“I will,” Aria said loudly.

Then I heard her little footsteps running down the hallway, followed by the shutting of a door. I assumed Aria had gone off to her piano lesson with Mrs. West while James went into his room to shower and change for the evening. After that, all was silent.

A few moments later, I was dressed and headed out the door, thinking about Japan, me, Aria, and James. Wouldn’t that be nice? A trip to Japan. I had always wanted to go there.

Suddenly I shook my head. Good God, what was I thinking? I was getting way ahead of myself here. Aria’s suggestion had put some very inappropriate ideas in my head. After all, I was merely James’ mistress. Nothing more and nothing less, so…

I was just passing James’ door when I halted and stared at it for a moment. Then I couldn’t help myself and gave it a few knocks.

“James?” I called out softly. “James?”

Silence.

He must have been in the shower and therefore couldn’t hear me knocking. I hesitated before turning the door handle. Once I was inside, I noted the room was empty.

I was right in that he was in the shower. I could hear the water running in the adjacent room where the bathroom was located. Maybe I shouldn’t bother him, I thought and was on my way out when James’ voice came from behind me.

“Leaving so soon?”

I turned on my heel, and the moment I faced him, I blushed profusely. I swallowed and said, my voice more than a little weak at the sight of him, “You’re busy getting ready, aren’t you?”

Oh God. I was doing my utmost to keep my gaze from straying any lower than his gorgeous face, but I couldn’t help myself.

As my eyes drifted down his magnificent body, I felt myself shudder in deliciousness.

James was completely naked and dripping wet. Why, oh why didn’t he cover himself with a towel? What if his daughter happened to walk in? Or one of the staff for that matter?

I was about to berate him about being decently dressed before leaving the bathroom when he chuckled and said, “Come here, Mia.”

I licked my lips before commenting, “James, we don’t have time for this. Your brothers will be here soon, won’t they?”

He shrugged and simply said, “They can wait. Now come here.”

Though his words were gentle, there was still that sense of command within the tone.

Obediently I went to stand in front of him, staring at his massive, muscular chest. God, his skin was so smooth and utterly enticing. I simply wanted to run my fingers across it, caressing it and feeling it against my flesh.

James leaned forward, which drew my attention from his chest to his face instead. Once we were close, he kissed me on the forehead gently. When he pulled back, he said, “Thanks for picking Aria up today.”

I blushed and beamed at him. Then I said, “You told the receptionist I’m your girlfriend. I know it’s a cover, but if you must know, Lisa, Susie’s mother, learned of it as well and even congratulated me… Congratulated us…”

I raised my eyes to gaze at his lips, my stomach flipping in exquisite sensations. “Aria even told them about what happened last night… That we all were sleeping together in your bed. James, I’m so embarrassed.” I sighed. “What are we going to do to clean up this misunderstanding?”

He cocked his head to one side and said, “Doesn’t this remind you of something?”

Huh? What is he talking about?

“The first time we met. But instead of you standing here naked, it’s me.”

I burst out laughing. I couldn’t help myself. Here I was, dreading how we were going to clear up the misunderstanding because of James’ little white lie about me being his girlfriend. But really, all he was thinking about was how we’d met the first time when I’d been naked and in his arms?

“Yes, I guess so,” I said evasively.

He placed his finger under my chin and nudged my face up to look at him. Before I could react, he descended toward me and planted his lips against mine.

At first the kiss was soft, gentle, and warm, which was wonderfully pleasant. A moment later, however, James switched to aggression. He was demanding as his lips pressed hard against mine while his tongue hotly invaded my mouth.

“Mmm…” I groaned under his fervent attack. My head was beginning to swim and my body heated and melted into him.

As we deepened the passionate kiss, our lips locked, tongues stroking one another, caressing and teasing.

I sang out to him, my whole being shaking with adoration and my core beginning to burn in a frenzy.

When James finally pulled back, I was dazed and my body ready for him to fuck me.

James did not disappoint. He yanked my dress down my body and lovingly tortured my breasts, teasing and taunting the very sensitive, aroused flesh with his fingers and thumb. Then he kissed, sucked, and licked them seductively.

Oh God, I thought hazily as I clutched James’ head against my chest, encouraging him.

The door was still unlocked. What if someone walked in? What if Aria walked in?

Not good. I needed James to end this now. God, I wanted to tell him to stop this intense lovemaking but found I had no willpower. My mouth was too busy moaning and groaning in pleasure as he continued to ravish me to his heart’s content.

“James…” I whispered under my breath. “James… We…have…to stop this… The door…”

James wasn’t listening to me. He roughly raised my skirt as he made me lean back against the bed. There, instead of pulling my panties down my legs, he tore the lacy material to pieces.

His barbaric action only served to heighten my excitement, and my core burned even hotter for him and his erect cock.

“Oh, James…” I whispered. The fear of someone walking in on us fled my mind in an instant. I encouraged him instead. “James… Fuck me… Please fuck me now… I can’t wait any longer…” I was panting, and my body was shaking in fervor for him.

James buried his face in the crook of my neck and said, “Sure thing, darling.”

Not a moment later, he inserted his cock into me, thrusting hard in one forceful move. When I felt him inside me, I groaned in satisfied delight, as if I were finally filled and complete.

“It feels so good,” I said. “James…”

He chuckled as he started moving inside me, sliding in and out, slowly at first and then faster.

I leaned back a little and raised my hips, which drew him deeper into me and allowed easier access. Then we were moving, dancing erotically, as he drove himself into me, into the deepest parts of me.

He really was fucking me now, hard and fast. I found it difficult to restrain myself. I bent my head back and closed my eyes, just relishing the ecstasy of sexual pleasure James was giving me.

God, it felt so good. Just so wonderful and magnificently delightful. I felt I was in heaven, so beautiful and bright and just awesomely amazing.

When I opened my eyes, James was watching me, and he had a dark expression on his face that told me he liked the look I was wearing. I couldn’t help myself and raised to him. There I wrapped my arms around his neck and whispered, “I love you,” before kissing him.

With our lips tightly locked together, we continued our erotic dance, our movements in a sexy tempo that was rising to climax as we moved faster and faster and harder and harder. I was breathless, and I knew it wasn’t going to be long before I came. My body shuddered and then tensed as I did come, long and slow. Then I relaxed and collapsed against James.

“I love you too,” he whispered.

I felt my heart somersault in my chest as I froze in my spot. Did I hear that right? Did James just say he loves me?

Oh God! Suddenly I was so elated…so utterly and deliriously happy that I sobbed and my body shook uncontrollably.

I moved back and stared up at him. “James?”

He smiled at me and said again, “I love you, Mia.”

Honest to God, I nearly died then. This was the first time since my parents’ death, aside from Andy, that anyone had ever said the words I love you, Mia to me.

To say I was shocked with surprise was an understatement. I was tearing up like there was no tomorrow.

James laughed and kissed my face all over. He said, “You’re the best mistress ever. Now how about graduating to a proper girlfriend?”

I wiped my eyes and said, “James? Are you serious?”

“I’m completely serious, darling,” he said. “That’s if you don’t mind a dark billionaire who does shady business and rules an underground empire for a boyfriend.”

I chuckled through my tears. “I don’t mind at all. I love you, James.”

God, words just couldn’t describe how happy I was. His love confession meant everything to me, and it changed my world completely.

A moment later, he pulled my skirt down my legs and said, “If my lousy brothers weren’t coming, I’d go for round two. This time with you completely naked. But…” He trailed off as he pulled me up and even arranged my dress properly. “Now go and put some panties on before I change my mind and fuck you again.”

I nodded. Then before I went, I stood on tiptoes and gave him a light kiss on the lips. “I love you, James,” I said again.

“I know,” he replied.

I gave him a sunny smile and then left him to get ready. As I was heading back to my room, I felt I was on cloud nine, walking on air.
