Billionaire Toxic Love

CHAPTER 14

Thump! The sound of the door closed behind Richard's hands in anticipation as he closed the lock key.

“I have an idea where this is leading to. I'm getting wet already and have been wishing for this all night after seeing Joshua”, Claire thought.

With little words said between them in that room…

Richard clutched her closer to him. The s****l tension in the air increased, they felt each other's breath and, with their intense gaze at each other, their lips met in a hot, energetic embrace. They couldn't get enough of themselves.

Claire ran her fingers through his hair, while feeling his hands run down her back, lowering more to her bosom. Richard put on her weight and swiftly positioned her on top of him.

Claire moaned as he grabbed a fistful of her hair and lightly pulled it to deepen the kiss, her tongue exploring every inch of her cave.

Feeling the desire once ignited again, they knew nothing could stop us this time. They were going to have it raw there!

Richard was an expert at kissing. His luscious lips and expert tongue were like drugs that Claire had gotten addicted to.

“Say you want me, Claire…” Richard commanded in between their kisses.

Claire groaned and deepened the kiss instead.

She didn't have a freaking time to talk, she wanted this intimacy with Richard to end with her getting pleasured.

Moving her hips circularly, Claire swallowed Richard's painful grunts.

“Say it….I won't finish this until you do..” Richard warned while lowering his lips to Claire's neck.

Claire bit her bottom lip, for she was tempted to do as she was told. But she's not stupid to succumb to it and lose to his sick game.

Claire gasped when Richard sucked her skin where her neck connected to her shoulder. His sinful hands then traveled to her left thigh and right breast, kneading and caressing them, which added to the heat in her body.

Claire hated the fact that he knew every part of her body that could make her submit to him. “Damn him for having those skills” Claire moaned as Richard began thrusting harder and faster than before.

It was so intense. Claire knew it wasn't long before she would o****m.

“Claire....” Richard moaned.

Her eyes were half lidded as she pressed her hips on him harder and moved again at a slower pace.

She was about to o****m. Richard was about to o****m.

And ‘uhhhh’ they maxed out at the same time, a willingness of the heart that burst thunderously among them as they were ultimately satisfied.

“I love you” Richard muttered as he lay on the bed, drained of strength and dozed off into a deep slumber.

Claire didn't say a word but just stared at him till she too fell asleep.

“Ring Ring Ring”, the 3rd voice's shrill metallic urgency startled them awake 30 minutes later, and it dawned on them.

They were at the newsline premises, not at home.

“Hello” Claire answered, as she was closer to the phone, and it was easier for her to access the phone than Richard.

“Claire, my baby, where did you disappear to” Martha said over the phone in ecstasy, her voice buoyed up as she finally got to converse with her daughter.

“Oh mother. I'm good- okay. I didn't disappear, I'm still at the concert premises”

“Where are you” Claire asked.

“At the front of your door”

“Uhn…”

Knock knock knock” the sound on Claire's door constantly came thrice.

“You believe me now?” Martha asked with a sly smile on her face that could be visible in the tone of her voice.

“I-I don't understand Mom, how did you....”

“Do you want to keep asking questions over the phone, or do you so dearly so want to see and embrace your mother”, Martha abruptly interrupted Claire.

“Oh f**k!” Claire said as she hurried on her robe over her body, covered the naked sleeping Richard with a blanket, and rushed to grab open the door like her life depended on it.

“Mom..”

“My baby..”

“I missed you so much Mom, I missed you, I missed you” Claire kept telling her mom, while she embraced her in a tight hug. Tears pouring down her eyes, face flushed, cheeks dripping wet with the stream of tears flowing down from her eyes.

“I know you miss me baby, I miss you more. Hope Richard is taking good care of you now”.

“Ehn.. Richard? Ohh I forgot you heard what we performed today”, Claire yelped.

“Performed? Don't be silly, my dear. I saw the love between you too, it reminds me of your father and I” prattled Martha amusingly.

“He was even the one that filled me with the details that this VIP lounge was where you guys booked.”

“Richard?..” was the only word Claire uttered, disbelief visible in the furrow of her brows and the crest of her lips.

“Why…”

“Well, he just doesn't seem the type. He's still sleeping though” Claire explained as she led her mom inside the room properly.

“Who's still sleeping dear?” Martha asked, staring at the empty bed.

HE'S GONE! HOW.

“Uhn nothing...I just..... Tell me about your stay in the hospital”, Claire stuttered, trying to avoid the question.

“Richard was sleeping in that bed a few minutes ago. Was there a backdoor in this room? Why would he leave without any form of courtesy at least?” Thoughts kept creeping into Claire's head the moment Martha began explaining to her about her stay in the hospital.

“Hello” Claire answered the phone call that had snapped her out of the fantasy she was having as she lay in her room in Richard's mansion, reluctantly, with discontent.

“Claire, I'm going to have fun this evening, and I'd want you to be by my side”, Richard told her directly over the phone.

“This evening? Where are we going?” Snapped Claire.

“You'll find out tomorrow. Joshua will come pick you up in the next 2 hours”.

“JOSHUA! Who's Joshua? Wittered Claire, who began sweating on her forehead, her hands fidgeted as she proceeded to pace around aimlessly while biting her nails.

“Do you have short-term memory baby?"

"Joshua, my best friend I introduced you to yesterday evening”.

“Ohh” Claire knew that already. She knew it was THE Joshua, she forced the reality to be false, but fate wasn't so kind to her.

“Look good for me baby”

“Do I ever look bad?”

“Well dressed for the occasion.”

“I-I don't even know the occasion…”

“Just-just…will be expecting you in a few hours.”

“Okay” Claire said, feeling accomplished. She won the throw of words.

“Joshua. s**t! I didn't know he was Richard's best friend. I guess I'll be seeing him more frequently from now on.” Claire said aloud to herself when Richard ended the call.

“This should look good.”

“Oh no.. it's too revealing.”

“Nah..this is too casual.”

“This looks too prepared.”

“Omo how am I expected to go on an outing with the world's most eligible billionaire bachelor without a hint of where I'm going to?”

“I've changed clothes 11 times now and still haven't found the right outfit to wear!”

“Gosh! 15 minutes till Richard said Joshua is coming to pick me, and I've not decided on an outfit. I'm frustrated”

“Gring Gring Gring!” The shrill metallic door alarm of the mansion rang with so much enthusiasm at that exact moment.

“Who the heck is that now I am frustrated” Claire yelled, wrinkles on both eyes in that instance. She grinned. “That knock is just aggravating the situation I'm in”. She quickly put on her night robe over her naked body and left to find out who was knocking.

“It can't be Joshua, there's still 27 minutes left till he comes.”

“It must be that delivery guy again.”

“That person knocking must surely be ready to receive the share of frustration I'm going to put on them”.

“JOSHUA…” This was the second time Claire had called out his name aloud that day. Only that this time, Joshua was standing in front of her at the door entrance with his irresistible charm and heartwarming piercing gaze.
