The Hottie Billionaire Series: Romancing A Banking Magnate (The Billionaire Meets The Damsel In Distress) by Sharon Rose

reason
why she was here. She desperately needed money to save their farm
from being sequestered by the bank. “I’m sure that every woman who
comes here to apply to your ad has got something to do with the
money in the first place. It may not sound good, but I need a good
sum of money.” She didn’t want to lie. It would be totally
inappropriate to hide her true purpose why she responded to his ad
when it was obvious in the first place. The reason wasn’t anything
noble, nor romantic, but purely in terms of financial gain. Money.
It was all about the goddamned money.
    He went silent for some time while his
eyes lingered at her, studying her face and her reaction, maybe her
sincerity, too, in a closer range.
    And she couldn’t help but feel damned
nervous. Her palms started to sweat out. She wasn’t sure if she
fucked up her chance by being candid. She couldn’t tell that by the
mere look on his face alone.
    “ I admire your honesty,
Katrina…” He broke the gaping silence between them after a few,
uncomfortable moments. “But-”
    “ Did I offend you with my
answer?” she instantly cut him off. She immediately panicked when
she heard the word ‘but,’ and she became defensive.
    Oh dear Lord, please, let him not lose
his interest in her! Let him not be offended by her! She didn’t
want to blow her only chance to solve her family’s financial
woes.
    “ Well...” He straightened
his back as his eyes bored at her. “Yes… and no…” he answered
pensively.
    His vague answer made her feel more
nervous.
    Anxiously, she clasped her hands, in
an unknowing position, as if she was praying. “I didn’t mean to
offend you, Xavier,” she hastily tried to explain her side. “It’s
just that...” Crap! She and her big mouth! Now she had a lot of
explaining to do. And she better eloquently explain herself.
Argh!
    She swallowed real hard, pacifying the
hysterical tension that gripped through her. “I’m just being honest
here, you know.” She couldn’t think of anything else to say to
avoid hurting her chances more. How could she screw
herself?
    “ I know, Katrina,” his
voice was smooth when he spoke. There was no sense of bitterness in
it. “You’re actually right. Those women who came here and applied
to my ad are just like you. They’re after the money they can get
from it. That’s a given when I made money the bait in the first
place. I actually don’t care about that...”
    She breathed a sigh of relief. That
was good to know. Thank God, she didn’t fuck up her chances, after
all.
    “ But there’s just one thing
that I do care about, and this is very important. What I’m after,
Katrina, is this - I want to know this, can you turn me on? Can you
do that… Katrina?” His gray eyes held her gaze, sending waves of
electrical sensations all over her, challenging her. “That’s all I
want to know. If you can do it, then, you’re in.”
    Her heart hammered like crazy inside
her chest. Her body tingled from head to foot. Oh God, could she do
that? Could she turn this intimidating billionaire on? How? She was
inexperienced when it comes to sex. She clearly told him something
that wasn’t true. She wasn’t good in bed. Damn!
    But there was only one thing that she
needed to do in order to make this man marry her, and that was to
turn him on. For an experienced woman, it was an easy thing to do.
Surely, a piece of cake. But for someone like her who was still
completely innocent and inexperienced, it was a challenge. She
hadn’t seduced any man all her life, but she had to now. Her
family’s future depended on it. It was their only hope.
    She would seduce him. She would turn
this billionaire on big time with her little knowledge of the
opposite sex. She would drive him wild until he would go out of his
mind. That way, she could do her own bidding.
    She raised her face, and looked at him
straight in the eyes, accepting his carnal challenge. “Yes,” she
answered with conviction. “I can turn you
