Victoria The Billionaires Maid

Jonas’s [POV]

I’d almost had her, and while she tried to get the last word in, we both knew that resistance would be futile. I still turned her on, and I’d be damned if I’d let that go to waste. I would likely never see her again after this week, especially if she didn’t get the contract, so my time was limited. She wanted to be chased, and I supposed, in a way, I understood that. She had been clay in my hands back in high school, but a lot had changed since then. She was no longer the straight-laced book nerd I remembered. She was a vibrant, sensual woman, who was as curious as I was as to whether there were still any sparks between us.

“Where’d you run off to?” Caspian asked as he came up on me.

“I was just talking to someone,” I replied, then looked over my shoulder and narrowed my eyes as I watched Kenzie take the stage again. Something told me to listen closely to this next song as it was likely aimed at me. “I’ll be right back.”

I left Cas standing there and moved closer to the stage. The song started and I took my place against the wall. Every inch of her was on display to me, from her slim waist and hips to an ass I wanted to mark in some way. Since she was turned away from me at the moment, I could see her pert backside and all that long wavy hair that hung down her back. I was already hard, it being a permanent state for me, but she seemed to make it worse.

She started to sing and that smoky voice of hers caused more than just me to stop and listen. I smirked, and that was when she turned around, those sultry lips and piercing gaze now directed right at me. Her cocky expression and the words being sung kept the grin on my face. If she thought she could scare me off with them, she was wrong. I didn’t want love or anything else she promised in the song. She wanted to talk about mistakes and games, and I could provide her with both.

It didn’t escape me that it was what had gotten us in trouble all those years earlier. Once word got out at school about what she had almost done, and my part in it, most of the other girls kept their distance from me for a while. It had allowed me to focus on my grades, but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to being pissed that my entire plan had blown up in my face. No one wanted to fuck with me for at least a few weeks fearing that I would drive them fucking crazy too.

“Remember, I’m a crazy bitch. Certifiable, so think wisely about pursuing me because this toy you love so much, I could destroy it and you.” She’d just warned me before walking away, but she wasn’t the only one to have changed since high school.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

I was now content with who I was. I made no apologies for being me. We’d soon see if she was right about loving the players, but whether she was or not, I sure as fuck loved the game and she would be my pawn once more.

I didn’t need forever or anything else. I also didn’t care about her ex-lovers and anything they might have to say about her. I had volumes of books like that myself, and she would do best to heed the advice of any of them when it came to me. Kenzie continued to sing about rose gardens, thorns, and perfect storms. I kept grinning throughout because nothing she said would convince me to stop pursuing her. The moment she finished and stepped off the stage, I went in search of her.

I saw her say something to Reece before she looked everywhere but where I stood, then fled to the stairwell. Taking long, but leisurely strides, I followed her and was inches away by the time she finally made it there. The door swung back as she escaped through it, and I slipped in before it could hit me in the face.

“Was it, Kenzie?” I asked the moment she hit the first step.

She froze before she could take another one. Slowly, she turned, and I was enjoying her stricken expression more than I should have. Moving toward her, I soon stood eye-to-eye with her. “W-was what?” she asked nervously.

I wrapped my hand around the back of her neck and pulled her close. Our mouths were so close to one another that I could not only hear the hitch in her breath but feel it as well. “The high. Was it worth the pain?”

I knew she had enjoyed losing her virginity to me. She was so vocal even back then. I didn’t know how loud she could be until I thrust into her tight, innocent pussy and fucked her. She came so many times that night, and I had to. Fuck, I wanted to lose myself in her again. And as I looked into her eyes, I knew she wanted the same.

“N-no,” she stammered, and I reveled in the fact I could still make her so nervous.

“But it could be,” I told her as I dragged my free hand down the side of her face. She slightly trembled beneath my palm, and I continued, “Ever since we’ve reunited, there has been nothing else on my mind other than this… other than us…”

She grabbed my hand and thrust it away from her. “There is no ‘this’ or ‘us’,” she retorted, using air quotes to emphasize those two words.

I chuckled. She might want to deny this spark, but I sure as hell wasn’t about to do the same. “You say that as if you are certain.”

“I am,” she responded, even though the slight shakiness in her voice directly contradicted that.

I moved closer, and she nearly stumbled. Springing into action, I pulled her back into my arms, then spun her around so she was now pinned between me and the wall. Damn, now that’s a position I wouldn’t mind getting her in.

“High school was a mistake,” she whispered.

I had to agree with parts of it, but I wouldn’t right now. I shouldn’t have played her the way I had, but it’d been a harmless game until it wasn’t. I remembered that day on the roof and how scared I was that I hadn’t been able to talk her down. She’d hated me, and it’d been rightfully earned. I thought she planned to jump and maybe she had. It then reminded me of her warning before taking the stage when she confessed to being certifiable. It was all part of her game, right?

“High school was the past, Kenzie. We’re completely different people-”

“Are we really?” she asked.

I leaned in and brushed my nose against her soft cheek. Fuck, I wanted to feel every inch of her naked body against mine, but until the opportunity presented itself, I intended to make do with what I had. “You’re not anything like you were back then.”

She let out a laugh while trying to move her face away from my mouth. “I’m not a virgin anymore, and I’m not a fool for your games. Other than that, I’m still the one who hates you.”

“Hate is such a strong word,” I told her while using her actions against her. I was now able to kiss my way from her cheek to her ear. “Strong words do cause strong emotions. I wouldn’t mind hate fucking you all night long, Kenzie.”

She let out a small whimper, especially when I tongued the shell of her ear, then bit down on its fleshy lobe. I teased her for a few seconds until she tried to push me away.

“There will be no hate fucking or anything else,” she managed to get out. “Nothing has changed with us, and with you. You’re still the same asshole you’ve always been. I’m not trying to be a notch on your bedpost ever again.”

I stopped what I was doing and stood there for a few seconds. She still hated me and assumed I was the same person I’d always been. Stepping back enough to give her space, but not enough for her to flee, I looked directly into her watery eyes.

“I’m a very different man, Kenzie. Different because of you.”

She let out a sarcastic laugh. “Yes, and I’m sure the society pages filled with you and hundreds of women are a sign of that.”

So, she’d looked me up. I had to think by her shocked reaction on the opening night of the competition that she hadn’t known I owned this hotel, so it had to have been after we’d reunited. It made me even harder knowing that while I was celibate and using my hand to live out fantasies of fucking her, she’d been doing the same thing.
