The Billionaire's Intern Read online

  Yes. Fucking yes. Christ how long had he waited for her? Two whole years of sitting in the dark at the back of the theater, watching her dance her heart out across the stage. Wanting her. Hating every male dancer who touched her, wishing it was himself with his hands on her supple body. Wishing she’d look at him the way she looked at them. With passion and longing. Wishing it was real.

  Well, now it fucking was.

  Hell, why keep waiting? He could have her right here, right now. On the floor or on the table, he didn’t much care where. Have her naked body finally bare to him, to his hands, to his mouth . . .

  No. You were going to be patient, remember? If you take her now, you won’t leave her wanting more.

  Ah, fuck. Of course. He couldn’t gorge himself now, no matter how much he wanted to. He had a plan and he couldn’t forget that. He hadn’t when he was plotting his father’s downfall and he shouldn’t now just because she’d made his dick hard.

  He was master of himself, and even though keeping himself in check had been one of the hardest lessons to learn, he’d done it. He wouldn’t lose control, not ever again.
