One Night With The Billionaire

He held Arianna’s hand and said in a voice that is best described as a whisper “I will give you your first present, soon. I want you to know that I have come to love you and what I feel for you is unquenchable” Jace said and kissed her temple.

Arianna couldn’t find her voice. Her voice seemed choked and she just hugged Jace, placing her head on his torso. The latter held her tight, closed his eyes and inhaled the scent of her hair.

“Take a bath. I have done mine already”Jace declared, withdrawing from the hug. Arianna nodded and he beckoned to her to use the bathroom.

Arianna was going to step in when he said “I don’t know If you like the bodywash and toiletries I bought for you. But if you don’t, I’ll get you another” he said and Arianna nodded.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

When Arianna stepped in, she saw the bodywash and a beautiful smile appeared on her lips. Did he say she might not like it? Oh no, she loves it.

When Arianna stepped out of the bathroom, Jace was not in. She cleaned her body and wondered where the mirror was until she opened the wardrobe and saw a hidden dressing room attached.

She got in and saw It’s a little room on its own. She dried her body and changed into a nightie. She wasn’t too comfortable in it, as it is transparently seductive, she’s spending the night with Jace for the first time.

When she stepped out, she saw Jace was standing before a wall with a remote in his hand. She was dazed and just stared at him. She saw the footage of everything that went on, earlier that day.

He switched over and checked on Eli. She saw that his nanny was reading him bedtime stories. He was dozing already and next, check the security guards and the entire compound.

“Do you see everyone in their rooms as well? I mean when I was still in the guest room” Arianna asked and Jace Hudson chuckled aloud.

He was already dressed in pyjamas. “No. I only have a camera in Eli’s room because he is my son and I have to check on him often” he replied.

Arianna sighed softly and Jace gently pressed a button on the remote and the wall slid back to normal without showing any sign of an opening.

He turned and glanced at her. He scrutinised her looks and Arianna gently turned, blushing like a teenager.

“You are blushing,” Jace commented. He circled his hand around Arianna and asked “You were going to tell me something, right?”

“Yes. Please sit” Arianna said and Jace took his seat. Arianna sat next to him fiddling with her fingers. Jace was patient, just waiting for her to tell him whatever she wanted to.

“I feel bored at home. Since I am fine now, I will be starting work tomorrow” Arianna announced.

“That’s okay. If you know you are strong enough to withstand the stress of the office activities, I don’t have a problem with it. But what position are you taking now?” Jace approved.

Before Arianna could answer his question he asked “Is your previous position still vacant?” He hasn’t been so involved with the administration of the office in Z-City as much as the branches all over.

“I got a job elsewhere. I have been hired. I’m not coming to work in Hudson holding” Arianna declared.

There was a long silence between them both. Jace’s countenance was icy. Arianna could feel the atmosphere become condensed.

“They’ve sent me an invitation for over a week but because I wasn’t able to go, I didn’t respond. Today I received a call that they were waiting for me to resume. They needed my skill…” Arianna was still saying when Jace asked in a hoarse voice:

“Which company is that?”. Arianna was scared of telling him. Jace might send an order to them to withdraw her job. But sincerely, she wants to work but not in Jace’s company.

“I won’t tell you until I resume there. I know that you were the reason why I didn’t get a job for months. And this time, please don’t stop me” Arianna became serious.

“I won’t let you work anywhere else in Z-City except the Hudson’s holding. If you don’t want me to quarrel with that company and fight with them, don’t take that job” Jace declared.

“But why, Why can’t I work wherever I want? I grew up a Hustler and I fend for myself. I find it uncomfortable to stay at home all day” Arianna snapped at him.

“You will work in my company and not anywhere else” Jace insisted. How can his girlfriend work in another company saying”Sir” to other employers who might not even be in the same status with him?

“I won’t work in Hudson’s holding. And you can’t impose your decision on me. I have accepted the job and I won’t say no” Arianna quarrelled.

“I don’t like it when someone raises their voice at me. You already know that Arianna” Jace was controlling his displeasure.

Arianna looked away. “You fired me for doing nothing. You said I was a crazy woman and they shouldn’t let me in. And you still expect me to come back there and work?

I may be weak but I am not stupid, Jace Hudson. Even if you beg me, I won’t listen to you. I have gotten a job and I will be resuming there tomorrow” Arianna finalised.

“I won’t let you work anywhere else except with me. Just as I won’t let you be with another man as long as I live. You should know that. Your ranting won’t solve anything” Jace concluded simply stood up and went to his study.

Jace sighed softly. She’s stubborn. How can he subdue this woman who always wants to have her way every time and on everything.

He needs to tame her. She needs to realise that being his woman implies that she should always reason with him before making decisions that might not go down well with them both.

He sent a text to Eduardo and got busy. Thirty minutes later, he replied and Jace smiled. Arianna got hired by the Imperial group. A fast growing company and it’s smart of them to want to hire Arianna’s skill to grow their company.

An hour later, Jace returned to the bedroom and saw that Arianna was lying on the sofa. He went to her and carried her princessly onto the bed. Jace thought she was asleep already.

“I’m crazy about you but you are stubborn” he whispered into her ears gently before he placed her on the bed and laid beside her, he heard a soft giggling and paused. His lips hived up for a smile.

“You’re not sleeping?” Jace asked and Arianna didn’t reply. She was holding back from giggling out loud. Jace had kissed her lips briefly before carrying her off the sofa.

“Arianna, I know you are pretending. So, just open your eyes”Jace stuttered. He laid behind her now and pulled her to himself, her back turned to him.

“I am sleeping, Jace,” Arianna chimed, smiling broadly. Thank goodness, Jace couldn’t see her smiling.

“Really?” Jace said and circled his hands around her waist. Those who are really sleeping don’t have to say it with their mouth.

“Yes Jace. I’m sleeping” Arianna repeated. She knew Jace would be smiling as much as she’s doing. It’s amusing the way he asked if she really was sleeping.

“Let’s see just how far you’ve slept” he said and gently withdrew his hand from around her waist and trailed it upwards, until it rests on her boops.

Arianna shivered. Jace smiled as he kissed her earlobe. He allowed his hand massages her boops and he kept kissing her nape and body drawing her closer, her backside plastered against his body.

Arianna wasn’t smiling anymore. Her body was covered in goosebumps. Jace’s body against hers was sending shivers down her body, causing her to feel like an explosion was building up in her.

His hands on her skin were arousing. His fragrance was captivating and his body was heating her desirous body, it seemed she was enjoying what he was doing and wanted him to do more.

“Jace..” Arianna whispered but Jace interrupted her “Shhh you’re sleeping. Just sleep, okay” He stopped her midway.

He moved her hair backwards and kissed her more, allowing his lips to linger on her and his hand moved from her boops to her shoulders.

“Stop Jace…”Arianna mumbled in a weak tone. “You’re…” Jace began but Arianna cut him short. “I’m not sleeping anymore,” she confessed.
