THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE novel Chapter 27

CHAPTER 27

Marcus was taken aback when Daniella demonstrated her indifference once more. He was certain they were getting along well at dinner, and she even laughed when he told her a dumb joke. "Is there a problem?" he inquired.

"I'm alright," Daniella stated with a nod of her head. To be really candid, she was not well and her heart was not doing properly. She was in agony on the inside, but she couldn't tell him how she genuinely felt without appearing sad.

When they arrived at the hotel, Daniella didn't bother to say him a proper farewell; instead, she walked to the elevator and hit the button to ascend. She needed to retreat to her room quickly before allowing anyone to see her cry.

Marcus made no attempt to compel himself and just headed to the front desk. "Is there a room on the same floor as my wife available?" The receptionist regarded him as if he had sprouted horns in his head. "A lover's dispute," he continued, and the woman in charge nodded in agreement. It wasn't difficult to think he and Daniella were simply having a lover's quarrel, since they left together to eat outside and returned together.

Marcus struck gold when the room next to Daniella became available. He smiled as he walked to the elevator with the card key in his hand. There was something bothering her, and he would allow her sufficient time to gather her feelings. Later in the evening, just as the clock struck twelve, he would knock on her door with a midnight snack. He had already directed the in-charge to send Daniella's favourite snack five minutes before the clock struck twelve.

He was exhausted, but he dared not close his eyes, regardless of how comfy his bed was. He rushed up to open the door when someone knocked. "Thank you," he responded, generously tipping the man for bringing his particular order. He returned to his room to inspect his look before appearing in front of her.

Marcus was already outside her hotel room three minutes before midnight. He had already knocked numerous times and she had not opened the door. Was she already asleep? He should not have waited till midnight and immediately followed her, he chided himself.

He was going to return to his room when the sound of a door opening caught his attention. Marcus rehearsed his best grin and welcomed Daniella as she opened the door. "Special delivery for a special woman," he remarked, not waiting for her to welcome him in, but he was taken aback by the shambles within. "How did you get here?" When he noticed the plastic wrappers of junk foods on the floor, he questioned her. She made no attempt to discard them.

"Ignore it; else, why are you here?" Isn't it the middle of the night?" She enquired.

"I packed some snacks for you, Dani." He responded, but it appeared as though the woman would not require the meal he had brought. Given the quantity of plastic wrappers on the floor, she has consumed a substantial amount of food.

"I appreciate that, Marcus, but you did not have to." She responded, but inquired as to the kind of the meal he brought in. When she realized it was one of her favorites, her eyes became wide with joy. "Would you like some?" She inquired as she began scooping ice cream from the container. It's double dutch and has been her favorite for years, but how did he find out about it?

Marcus nodded and sat next her, accepting the dish of ice cream. "Would you mind telling me what's going on with you?" He sought to know what had previously soured her attitude.

After consuming a taste of the chilly ice cream, her heart softened somewhat. "I believe... I simply disliked the notion that you have another lady in your heart."

"I apologize," he stated.

She would have rather that he had informed her that he had forgotten about that woman. He didn't, and he even expressed regret. "I'm not sure what I'm going to do with you, Marcus. A part of me desired to give you another opportunity, but the other half was fearful of being wounded."

"I understand, Dani, but perhaps we can take it day by day." He made a suggestion.

"How?" She was perplexed by his proposal.

"First and foremost, you will let me to remain here till dawn." He opted to be sufficiently daring and awaited her reaction.

Daniella laughed, as it was rather amusing. "You're doing well, Marcus. Is that your strategy for seducing that woman?"

"I wish you would refrain from speaking to Veronica in that manner, Dani. If you are envious, simply inform me. You are not required to offend her," he admonished her with a low voice that conveyed the same message.

Yes, she was envious, and he should have made an attempt to console her! Rather than that, Marcus chastised her for offending that woman? The audacity! She arched one of her brows and directed him toward the door. "Leave! If you believe I've offended that woman, you'd better leave me alone!"

"Would you kindly be reasonable?" Why are you so difficult to deal with?" He became irritated with Daniella's behavior since it was too juvenile for someone in her early thirties!

"How did you learn to deal with me? Was I compelled to bring you here? That I did not!" She shouted at him and pushed the ice cream bowl to the side of the table. She walked over to the door and held it open for him. "Please excuse me," she replied as she waited for him to rise from his seat.

"I despise you," she said, turning away from him.

Marcus grinned at her juvenile conduct following his taunt and removal of the covering that concealed her nakedness.

She attempted to cling to the comforter that encased her body, but Marcus was far too powerful, and she had no hope. Daniella stared at him, as Marcus smiled and gazed at her lustfully. "You're cruel!" She screamed as she attempted to wrest the comforter from him in order to cover herself.

"You're stunning, Dani. Why do you feel the need to shield yourself from my gaze?" Marcus did not blink his eyes as he gazed at the woman who was self-conscious about her nakedness.

"I am not shy, but I am chilly," she said.

Marcus felt terrible, but he refused to give her the comforter to keep warm. Rather than that, he approached her and wrapped his body around hers. "Are you still cold?" he murmured the question and Daniella trembled. He ran his palm across her skin, just as they do in movies, to add to her warmth.

Daniella attempted to shove him away, but his body remained immobile by not even one inch. How could she to think rationally with his erection pressing against her buttocks? She desired to alter her posture in order to escape his erection, but this would just draw his attention to her predicament. She remained on her side while Marcus closely hugged her. Later on, she felt as though he was attempting to rub his abrasiveness on her. "Wait a minute, what are you up to?" She inquired as to when she sensed it on her dampness.

Marcus stroked her breasts and proceeded to rub himself inside her while they remained on their side. As Daniella moved her behind in an attempt to knock him down, he used one of his legs to split hers and then tilted his body before entering her.

When he was within Daniella, she gasped for oxygen. "Marcus...," she sobbed as he began to move in and out of her body, and it wasn't long until she felt it again and it seemed as if there had been a massive explosion inside her body, and she cried, "Yes!"

She was still at the top of the roller coaster and expected the sensations of falling when Marcus escorted her to the top one more time. "Oh God," she shouted as she felt her stomach drop as he carried her to greater heights.

Her legs swayed and her body ached from his snatching. It was now beyond twelve o'clock and she felt as though she lacked the stamina to keep her eyes open.

"I'm fortunate that you're mine, Dani." He proclaimed just before allowing her to sleep.

She desired to inform him that she was not a member of any organization, but she was too drowsy to talk and simply nodded her head.

"Goodnight, sweetheart." Before he closed his eyes alongside her, he kissed her forehead.

She awoke alone in the morning, and Daniella was not pleased that she missed him. She shouldn't feel that way, but as soon as she opened her eyes, she couldn't stop thinking about him. How did he get there? She was upset that she had not seen him first thing in the morning following their nice exchange last night.

"How about breakfast in bed?" Marcus grinned as he noticed Daniella was already up. "Ohh," his eyes widened as the sheet that covered her came down, exposing her to him once more. Her large breasts stood straight up as though greeting him.

Daniella was taken aback to discover him standing at the entrance with a meal tray, and she found herself unable to shield herself from his intense looks. "You abandoned me," she charged him with a glare in her eyes.

"I promise, Dani, you were still asleep when I opened the door to order supper." He explained, but wait a minute; was she furious because she didn't want him to leave her sight? Marcus grinned as he approached her. "You're the most gorgeous lady I've ever seen in the morning," he said as she awoke. Despite the fact that her hair was a complete disaster in the morning, she looked lovely and enticing.

"More lovely than Veronica?" She inquired politely, without demeanour toward the other woman.

Marcus was in a pickle early in the morning, unsure how to respond without offending either of them. "You're both quite lovely in your own way. Dani, please do not be juvenile about this." He pleaded with Daniella to refrain from making comparisons to his deceased wife.
