Becoming The Billionaire's Desire

We should talk

Emily’s POV

“I love you, Ems,” Jack planted a wet kiss on my lips as he stood up and padded towards the bathroom naked.

My relationship with Jack was everything. I could talk to him about anything, I could share my darkest fears, he was my boost, he was selfless plus the s*x was great. I yawned in satisfaction as I reached for my phone beside the bedside lamp. I turned it on and saw several messages. Opening my message box, Austin’s message popped up. Without thinking twice, I opened his message.

We should talk

The message read. I bit my lips wishing he had said more. We should talk isn’t enough, I wanted more, maybe a mention about how sorry he is and how bad he has treated me or something more than these three words.

About what?

I typed back, hoping it didn’t carry enough emotion.

I’ll be flying down to California for the premiere of your new movie. We can meet tomorrow at yours or mine. But if it’ll offend your boyfriend, we can meet at mine.

I stared at the message, at loss for the right words to the type or say. Still contemplating, Jack entered the room and came towards me "Up for another round," he kissed my neck gently swirling his tongue just the way I like it.

"I'd like another potion," I whispered arching my body in wanton pleasure as I pressed suggestively at him.

He lay beside me as his mouth sought mine. His lips skimmed my lower lips sucking on it as if it was nectar. I could feel my body getting heated as I responded to his sweet assault, Jack knew me like himself. He knew what spot to kiss, where to bite and what to touch to put me in the mood. My mind wandered to Austin.

During our brief relationship aka friendship, we were not romantically involved. We didn't share a kiss in the least and that was because he wanted to prove that he wasn't with me because of my body, of course, but still... as Jack was giving me these ministrations, I couldn't help but think what he would taste like should I kiss him.

I also wondered what he wanted us to talk about. After his timely save at the award night a few days ago, thoughts of him have lingered. I kept figuring out why he did what he did and if I should be wary of it or forget about everything. I was in a perfect relationship with a man who loves me to bits and appreciates me... still... there was this primal need, Austin had awakened in me since I first saw him.

It went away after our dramatic break but seeing him again after such a long time reminded me of days when I was still working as a sales manager and would dream of me and him exploring the world together, f*****g our brains out like rabbits and just generally loving up.

With Austin; I didn't get the same family vibes I feel with Jack. Jack's needs were simpler. He wants two or three children in a big house and lots of pets. Vacations now and again and a huge fat paycheck with few investments. But Austin always dared me. He'd talk about places he wanted to visit... he'd talk about trying different food... about making life easy... he wanted to travel... to explore the world.

For him, children were not part of the plan not that he hated them - he had said. It's just that he feels the world is already filled with them and if he must have children, then he would simply adopt.

"Babe," Jack was shaking my arms as his eyes regarded me with worry. "What's wrong?" he asked.

I must have blanked him out with my temporary daydreaming. "Sorry dear," I pulled him closer placing a kiss on his nose "I was just thinking of the movie premier... kinda nervous," I lied.

"C'mon babe," he pulled me closer and wrapped his hands around me "You don't have to worry about that... they'll love it, you'll see. Everyone will love the movie,".

"Yeah?" I sighed "Will it always be this way?" I asked against his chest.

"What way?".

"Always getting nervous before a movie that I acted in premieres. It was the same for my first movie and major role. Still can't believe I'm still getting nervous over it after so many times. I should be used to it by now. Don't you think?".

"The anxiety is what keeps you alive, darling," Jack chuckled. "I always get anxious whenever I want to shoot a romantic scene," he confessed.

"What?" I yanked myself from his arms as I sit halfway propping my chin in my hand and faced him. "You, Jack? get nervous for a Romantic scene... c'mon! I can believe if you tell me any other thing but on a scale of 1-100 for all your romantic scenes; I'd give you a perfect 100. You make everything seem so believable, honestly,".

He threw his head backwards as he burst into laughter. When he quietened, he reached for my hand and squeezed "But it's the truth, dear. I'm always anxious as to whether my breath stinks or if I would get an erection. That can be so embarrassing, you know,".

"But it'll be perfectly normal if you ask me," I shrugged.

"Not with me though," he continued. "Long before I started taking jobs on playing a romance part...I took some sort of course on self-control and discipline. I can survive being in the presence of a naked woman,".

"Wow!" I exclaimed. "That's so cool,".

"Yeah..." he agreed "That's why you shouldn't get nervous about the premiere okay? I know it's your first but...hopefully...it won't be your last.

"Yeah," I nodded "Thank you, dear,". I cuddled into him closing my eyes when my phone vibrated again.

"I wonder who's texting you so late," He observed "Should I get you your phone?" he asked.

My heart flipped as I remembered that I was having a conversation with Austin before.

"Don't worry dear...it'll probably be from the group chat. They never sleep those,".

"Yeah," he yawned "Let's get some sleep. We've got a big day tomorrow,".

I couldn't agree more.

***

The next day, I woke up feeling frustrated.

I had a terrible time falling asleep and even when I did, I kept seeing Austin kissing me or trying to sleep with me. So by morning, I was so cranky and yelled at Jack when he tried to find out. Since I didn't have much going on until later in the day... I decided to stay back and rest a bit.

I had successfully drifted into sleep when my the shrill volume of my phone's ringtone woke me up. Cussing, I patted the bed for it and turned it off. A few minutes later... it rang again. After several attempts to ignore it, I had no choice but to answer the receiver. I picked up the phone getting ready to yell my head off to whomever it was.

"Hey," the voice greeted.

I recognized it at once. It was Austin.

"What do you want now?" I howled into the phone "I just want to sleep... to rest. Is it so hard to do so?".

"You're sleeping on a work day?" Austin huffed "Your boyfriend's paycheck must be big enough to sustain you,".

"What do you want, Austin?" At this point, all the flight left my body and the little piece of sleep I was saving.

"To talk, Ems.," He said. "You kinda ghosted me last night and I still feel bad about it. Anyways... I'm at a bar and I must see you, Ems. Can we meet up?" he asked.

"Like right now?" I turned my head to stare at the clock, It was still morning.

"Yes," he replied.

"Please, Austin," I begged, "I can't come now. I need to rest. I was up all night and I need my beauty sleep. How about we meet later this evening. I'll come straight to you after set and then we can talk. How about that?".

There was a pause from his end and for a moment, I thought he wasn't going to accept but finally, he agreed. After we set the time,theye went off...leaving me more tormented with thoughts of him.
