Billionaire to Billionaire

Chapter 4.

*Anthony's view*

This day was by far the best one I've had in a while. When Fran suggested Andi take me hiking, I thought the heavens had opened up and given me an opportunity I couldn't resist. Before she could object, I asked her to take me. Then she asked me if I've ever driven a four-wheeler before. I said no while knowing that wasn't true. I don't know what took over me! But sitting behind her, with her body pressed into mine. I knew what my body was doing, even if my head didn't.

When we made it to the top of the waterfall, she was so excited. The excitement and smile on her face was enchanting. I couldn't help but bask in her. I don't think I even realized there was a waterfall there at first. Then she asked me what I thought. "Beautiful " I admiringly let out. It wasn't the waterfall I was talking about. Then she actually took my hand. Her beautiful, soft hand in mine. She led me down behind the waterfall. It was all I could do to keep my lips from tasting hers there. Before I could do it, she pulls me out to a beautiful area with flat rocks and sticks her beautiful feet into the water. I can't help but wonder what she's feeling so I do the same. We sat there, in the most satisfying, peaceful, glorious 3 hours of my life. No need to talk. Just...being.

I was sad when she said we should head back. But walking into that kitchen and smelling that sweet smell of oregano and tomato sauce, I couldn't help but salivate. I had 3 helpings before I decided I should let the others have some as well. But to my surprise, Fran pulls out a second pan and Mark and I race to grab the serving spoon first. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. That is the best I've felt in a while!

After dinner, I excuse myself and head upstairs to my room. Kicking my shoes off and laying on my bed, all I can think about are those beautiful, soft hands. How they felt in mine. How my stomach ignited like it was ready to explode with ecstasy. And her lips. Oh! How I want to tease those lips. Feel them against mine while I stare into those beautiful blue eyes. Dammit! I need to go take a cold shower. Hopping off the bed, I do just that. However, it doesn't help. I'm left trying to fight off urges I haven't felt in so long just so I could sleep. I don't know what that little lady has done to me, but I've got to get a grip on myself!

The next morning, I hop back in the shower and wash myself for the day. Throwing on another pair of jeans and a loose Tigers shirt, I brush out my beard and clean up my cheeks and neck. I’m not anywhere close to the office and yet I'm still keeping it clean and tidy. There's just something about the way it looks. I feel untouchable. In the back of my head, I wonder what Andi will think...

As I sit down for breakfast, I notice I’m the first one there besides Fran and Bill. I ask if the others will be joining us. Fran says Mark and Emily both had work today. Andi has the girl's and should be joining us shortly. As if on cue, in walks Andi with the youngest on her hips, those beautiful hips, and the other two in front of her. They go running up to Fran as they hug her, and Andi and Fran begin making their dishes. I can't help but think how I want to see this image every day...but with our children on her hips.

Fran, Andi, and the girls set down and start eating. "Andi, we have a family coming to stay with us for a couple of nights. Dad is busy and I have stuff to do. Will you run into town and grab me some supplies we need? I'll watch the girls." Andi nods and says "Yeah, I can do that Momma". Fran turns and looks at me, "Anthony, if you're not busy, you should go with her. She might need help carrying things". I'm really beginning to absolutely adore Fran. I don't care if it's on purpose or not...but any chance I get to be with Andi...the better! So I chime in and say I'd love to as I believe I see Andi's cheeks flush a moment. Mmmm...I want to make those cheeks flush for other reasons. Dammit, Anthony! What are you doing to yourself!? Snap out of it! You swore off women!

After breakfast Andi helps Fran wash up dishes while she makes a list for her. Soon we head out back towards Andi's cabin. She says she needs to grab her keys. I didn't realize she wasn't actually staying in the house. I follow her to her door and lean up against it. Watching her move around looking for her keys. I ask her if she needs help and she blushes and says no. She thought she left them by the door but they're not there. So I help her start looking. We end up in the bedroom looking and I turn around to have her bump into me. I grab ahold of her waist to steady her and her cheeks turn a bright red like she’s been in the sun for hours. She mumbles "sorry" as I continue to hold her looking into her big blue eyes. I can't help but lean in. She starts to lean in but quickly pulls back. Looking at the night stand she exclaims "Oh! There they are!" I’m left feeling like a fool but not wanting to give up. I’m going to kiss her if it's the last thing I do! She hurries out the door and I can tell she's flustered. Good, little lady! So am I! So. AM. I!
