Betting on Beaumont: A Brooklyn Novel #3 (The Brooklyn Series) (16 page)

Stepping between my spread legs, Dixon presses his body against mine as he finishes hooking his belt. His hands slip into my hair as he cups my head in his hands. His eyes are burning with love and so much intensity that I find it hard to catch my breath. I hook my thumbs into his belt loops and lock my ankles around his waist as I pull his body tightly against mine.

I wish we could stay like this all day, but I don’t think his business partners would find it very professional conducting meetings while his wife hangs out in his office half naked.

On the other hand, they may enjoy it too much and Dixon would end of making heads roll all afternoon.

“I hate that you have to leave too, but I have a surprise for you once you get back. So hopefully knowing that little tidbit will help your week fly by. I’m going to be so busy here with the new construction project and the wind energy deal Knox and I are working on. I’ll be sure to keep myself busy.”

I tug playfully on his pants pulling him into my chest as I nip my teeth at his bottom lip. “You better behave yourself, Beaumont while I’m away. Or else I’ll be sure to give you a good ass whooping when I get back. All those lil’ home wreckers blowing up your phone crying because you ran off and got hitched don’t know just how crazy your wife is. I’ll cut a bitch if she so much as even glances toward that delicious bulge in your pants while I’m gone.”

Narrowing his eyes down at me he leans in and presses a kiss to my lips before pulling back away from me, “You have nothing to worry about, darlin’. I promise to be on my best behavior. If it’ll make you feel any better, you can take my phone right now and delete anyone you want out of it.

Last night while we were lying in the living room relaxing watching Grimm and studying my lines, Dixon’s phone wouldn’t stop going off. I was two seconds away from tossing the damn thing into the ocean. It was blowing up with text messages from girls Dixon’s friends with all freaking out wanting to know if the rumors were true. No one could believe that Dixon really ran off and got married in Las Vegas over the weekend.

Well, sadly for those little hoochies, he did get married and I am not going anywhere any time soon. Dixon could tell I was getting aggravated every time his phone lit up so finally he shut it off and spent the rest of the night showing me just how much he loved me.

Only me, and by my sore muscles and tender cooch this morning, it was easy to say that he let it be known just how much he loves me. Every single inch of me.

Then to have him take me right here on his desk just now. Is beyond hot. Now every time he sits at this desk to work, he’ll immediately think of fucking me on top of it while overlooking the city he rules alongside Kayden.

“I don’t want to be one of those crazy, jealous wives who treat you like I snipped your balls and took away your free will, Dixon.” Pushing him away from me, I slip off of the desk and get to work redressing. Buttoning my shirt, I quickly tuck it into my pencil skirt as I spin and motion for Dixon to help me re-zip it up.

I’m running my fingers through my hair, checking my reflection in the mirror inside Dixon’s small private bathroom attached to his office when I notice him come up behind me. His arms envelope me in as he hugs me against his back and presses a soft kiss to my neck.

“All those girls in my phone, Brooklyn. They’re my past. You are my future and the only girl who matters. I don’t plan on ever seein’ any of them ever again, so there’s no reason for me to have their number’s in my phone. While you were fixing your makeup and hair in here, I was cleaning out my phone. Here, look for yourself.” He reaches into his pocket and pulls out his iPhone and holding it in front of me.

I let out a frustrated sigh and take the phone from him before turning in his arms and resting against the bathroom sink. I punch in his passcode to unlock his phone and open up his contacts. As I scroll through I barely recognize the names besides a few that I’ve met in person. A few celebrities that makes my jaw fall open as I see their numbers in his contacts, but the sea of bimbos are now gone. None of the names that I saw popping up last night are no longer there.

I suddenly feel the need to do the same to my phone. But there’s a few that I’m still close with like Xander for instance. He just messaged me last night congratulating me on the news of my marriage. He told me when he’s back in town for a gig, he’d have tickets waiting for Dixon and me also two for Savannah and Kayden too. He’s really a great guy, I hope he one day finds a girl who is to him what Dixon is to me.

If you would’ve asked me seven months ago if I’d be married and madly in love, I would’ve called you crazy. But now that I have Dixon, I couldn’t picture my life any other way. It isn’t going to be easy, especially since we have parents to try and prove to that we’re for real and not some crazy fling. But I know with time everyone will be able to see why I fell in love with Dixon. He’s not just sexy but also hilarious and so big hearted. Him and Kayden do so much for this city and the world with their charity work. There’s more to Dixon than he lets people see. Past the rough exterior and playboy persona is a man with the biggest heart who loves me unlike any other man ever could.

“You didn’t have to do that, Dixon…but I’m really happy that you did. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little insecure when it comes to you and other women. Because, you’ve used women to hurt me before, I just don’t want to go through that ever again. I want to be happy with you, really give us a chance.”

A flicker of sadness flashes in Dixon’s eyes as he listens to everything I’m saying. His fingers tighten in my hair as he tilts my head up making me look at him as I try to divert my eyes to the floor.

I wish I could say the pain from the Bahamas was gone but I’d be lying. It’s something that is going to take time for me to get over. Dixon shattered my heart that night as he tried to push me away and prove to himself that he didn’t love me. Over time I’ll be able to move past it but it’s going to take time. Dixon has to prove to me that he not only loves me but that he isn’t afraid to commit to me one-hundred-percent.

“I hate myself for what I did before. If I could go back in time and kick my ass for how I behaved I would. I’m going to spend every day making it up to you and proving to you that you are it for me, Brooklyn. It took me fucking up that bad to realize how much I loved you. I was a fuckin’ fool pushing you away. But I promise I will never make that mistake again. These next few days are going to fly by, and then when you get back to Houston, I’m taking you on a well-deserved honeymoon. Don’t worry about packing clothes because I plan on keeping you naked the entire time.”

A cocky grin flashes across his face as his panty melting smile dazzles me and leaves me speechless.

He is too much sometimes. But I wouldn’t have him any other way.

“I hope you’re taking me somewhere warm if there isn’t going to be any clothes allowed on this honeymoon.”

Dixon lets out a sexy chuckle as he slides his hands down to my ass cupping both cheeks in his hands and pressing my body flush against his. “With my hot ass walking around in my birthday suit, it’ll be hot even if we went to the fuckin’ artic, baby.”

I can’t help but burst out laughing as I picture Dixon butt ass naked and walking around the snowy tundra. “Alright, hot stuff. I better get going because I have shopping to do before I have to meet your parents’ tonight. I need to make a good impression on my new in-laws especially since you’ve already started us off on the wrong foot dragging me to an Elvis chapel to elope. That reminds me, my parents’ want you to fly out to L.A. next week when my dad is back in town to officially meet them. So make sure you pencil some free time in your super busy schedule, Mr. Moneybags.”

“Fuck. Your dad doesn’t own any guns does he?” Dixon asks with a look of pure fear across his face.

“Only a few.” I laugh, as I slip out of his grasp and exit the bathroom. I sling my purse back onto my shoulder and make my way across his office toward his office door.

“I’ll be sure to wear a bullet proof vest to our first meeting. I can never be too safe.”

Rolling my eyes at him, I grab the door knob and reach out with my free hand for him. “Don’t be so dramatic. As long as you don’t break my heart, my father won’t break your legs. It’s as simple as that. I’ll meet you at your Penthouse at five so we can drive to your parents’ together. Since my flight leaves early tomorrow morning I figured we can just stay here in Houston tonight at your place if that’s okay?”

Grabbing my hips, Dixon presses me against the door and pins my body once again with his as my fingers run up his chest and fist his sapphire blue tie. “It’s a date, Mrs. Beaumont. I look forward to consummating our marriage once again, over every inch of our suite after dinner tonight. We’re married now so that means what’s mine is now yours. So my suite is now your suite too. I guess since we’re married that means we should start looking into buying land so we can design your dream house.”

My head is spinning as everything he says bounces around inside of me head. I never looked at Houston as my home or Galveston for that matter. My home in my mind is still L.A., it’s where I work and where all of my opportunities are. But now that I’ve married a billionaire oil tycoon, I guess Texas is now my home.

“I didn’t even think of that. I guess it’ll give Savannah and me something to do while you and Kayden are busy playing monopoly with your billions. Maybe we can find land for sale near Savannah and Kayden in Sugar Land.”

“That’s fine by me. I don’t care where we live as long as you’re happy. If you want to look into buying a place in Los Angeles for when you’re there working, we can do that to. Just say the word and I’ll give you the world, darlin’.”

Leaning up on my tip toes, I give him one more kiss goodbye, I melt into the door as Dixon cups the back of my head and deepens our kiss. His tongue slips into my mouth and slowly and seductively twists with mine making butterflies flutter in my body and my knees grow weak. I love the crazy things his kisses do to my body. It’s intoxicating and addicting. I could spend every second of every day kissing this man.

A knock at the door causes me to jump and Dixon to break our kiss.

“Jesus Christ!” I scream as I press my hand to my chest and try to calm my racing heart.

“For fucks sake, this better be important.” Dixon mumbles as he unlocks the door and yanks it open.

My eyes grow large and jealously simmers in my veins as a gorgeous woman with bright red hair that falls to her shoulders in loose curls, steps into the doorway. “Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Beaumont, but your two o’clock meeting with Mr. Knox and the men from Jericho Energy will be starting in boardroom two shortly. I wasn’t sure if you wanted me to do a coffee run before everyone gets here?”

I find myself curling up my lips in distaste as I take in my husband’s assistant. She’s wearing a plunging cream colored silk blouse that leaves nothing to the imagination, and her leather A-line skirt looks like it’ll split in two if she has to actually bend over to pick up anything.

She doesn’t notice me at first until I move to Dixon’s side, finally then does she take her eyes off of my husband. “Oh I didn’t know you had company.” She say’s a little too sweetly as she flutters her eye lashes at me before turning her attention back to Dixon.

Lacing his fingers with mine, Dixon gives my hand a gentle squeeze as he turns and smiles down at me before looking back up at her. “Jaquelin, this is my wife, Brooklyn.”

Jaquelin blinks a few times as the stun of who I am sinks in. I nibble at my cheek as I try to refrain from opening my mouth and telling this bitch to go join the unemployment line. I can see a gold digging whore a mile away. This chick has my whoredar ringing loudly above her head.

Composing herself, she pulls up her phone looking at it before bringing her attention back to Dixon. “I thought I heard something about you getting married. I thought it was just another story to sell gossip magazines. I had no idea you were even seeing anyone exclusively. I guess congratulations are in order then.”

“We’ve been seeing each other for a few months now, our wedding was spur of the moment, but I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this girl and thought why wait? We were in Vegas so I figured why not elope? We’re planning a big ass celebration for family and friends since they weren’t able to be at our wedding.”

Bringing my hand up to Dixon’s chest I press it against his heart and beam up at him, and then turn to Jaquelin, “Ain’t he the sweetest? I don’t know how I ever got so lucky.”

Gritting her teeth, she shakes her head in disbelief, “He sure is…” She looks around nervously before stammering over her words, “So…I guess I’ll go get your coffee then…don’t forget boardroom 2 in fifteen minutes.” With that she quickly disappears down the hall and onto the elevator.

Stepping in front of Dixon I look from the hallway where she just was standing then back up at him. “That chick has to go. Please don’t tell me you slept with your assistant, because that girl was looking at me like I just stole her favorite freaking toy or something.”

Running his fingers through his hair, he lets out a frustrated groan, “We may have hooked up a time or two, but that was a long time ago. She’s really good at her job and I didn’t want to risk things getting messy between us so I let her know things between us had to be completely professional.”

I let out a sarcastic laugh. I can’t imagine that bitch willingly agreed to that. “You seriously think I believe she fell for that? The way she was looking at you just now, it’s very evident to me and probably everyone else around you two that she is just biding her time until she can get back into your bed again.”
