Undisclosed Desire: An Alpha Billionaire Romance: + bonus novel by Linnea May Page B

longing when he releases me.
    And of course, he is displaying that triumphant little smile I have come to loathe so much. So freaking handsome. It drives me mad.
    "Don't worry," he whispers. "I know you're hard to conquer. It only makes me want to break you more."
    Well, great. Exactly what I wanted to hear.
    I clear my throat and adjust myself, gently pushing him away from me, as he is still holding me in a tight grip. He lets it happen, but not without giving me another smug smile.
    "Why are you saying these things?" I ask. "Wanting to break me, to make me lose myself. Why are trying to get into my head so much, when you made it clear that you're not looking for a relationship?"
    "A relationship in the common sense, yes" he clarifies. "I don't want you to do my laundry or stand next to me while we're washing the dishes. But if you are to become my sub, you will be mine in a different sense."
    He pauses and gently strokes my cheek with the tip of his index finger, while I look up at him in anticipation.
    "Be yours, huh," I whisper.
    "Yes," he confirms. "You would be mine. Mine to take care of, mine to please, mine to spoil – and mine to punish and –"
    "Pff, you are pretty full of yourself, mister," I interrupt, laughing at him.
    He stops moving for a second, his index finger still resting on my cheek. I hold my breath as a weird tension is filling the air between us. His smile has disappeared and he looks at me with that stern, unyielding face again.
    Uh, oh.
    Just as I am about to apologize for my sassy statement, he bends down, pulling me in close with one arm while he uses the other push my face to the side, exposing my neck to him.
    I yelp in surprise when his teeth find my skin and he starts sucking and biting on the lower side of my neck.
    "No!" I object. "Stop it! It hurts !"
    Instead of letting go, his bite intensifies causing tears to run down my face as I try to process the unexpected pain and confinement he is putting me through. My body is twisting beneath him, trying to get away from his unyielding grip, but instead of winning leeway, I just get pinned down even more. He uses his entire body to keep me in place while continues to sink his teeth into my skin.
    I have gotten hickeys before, but none of them ever hurt as much as what he is doing to me right now. And I am pretty sure this is not about giving me a cute little love mark.
    I am whimpering and shaking by the time he finally lets go of me. His grip around me loosens, and instead of breaking free and away from him, I just lie there, panting as my muscles relax and my body is processing the aftershock of his bite.
    He plants a soft kiss on my tortured skin. I flinch, which makes him smile with accomplishment.
    I would never admit it to him – or anybody else – but I am pretty sure that my center is damp. God dammit.
    "Don't interrupt me," he says. His voice is soft and loving, in total contrast to his brute bite. "And don't make fun of me. Do you understand?"
    I bite my lips and narrow my eyes as I look at him. The spot on my neck is burning and there is no doubt that this will leave a visible mark that won't be easy to hide. Oh, the mocking I will have to endure from Yuka tonight...
    "Yes, Sir," I utter, suppressing any smart ass remarks to tease him.
    I cannot explain why, but all I want to do right now is to hug and kiss him, asking for forgiveness and showering him with affection.
    The throbbing pain in my neck feels as if he has injected me with poison. Some kind of potion that only makes me want him more.
    That makes no sense at all , Nicky , my conscious warns. He just hurt you, he silenced you with a painful bite into your neck !
    "Good girl," he whispers. The way he looks at me now is so different from before. I see nothing but affection and appreciation in his dark eyes.
    I want to be close to him and curl up in his arms.
    So I do it.
    I roll over and shyly wrap my arm around his upper body. He welcomes me by putting his arm around me and
