Penelope’s breath hitched. “Hubby…”
“How much interest are you planning to pay?” he murmured, pulling her pajamas open.
“How much do you want?” she panted.
“Can you afford it?”
“Mmm, I’m all yours.”
Theodore stared into her eyes, which were misty and filled with his reflection. He lowered his head and kissed her, his lips tracing a path downward as she responded passionately. He paused just above her lips.
“Call me ‘hubby’.”
“Hubby…”
“The one hundred million is paid in full.”
Penelope didn’t have time to process his words before he captured her mouth again, stealing her breath, her thoughts, and pulling her down with him into a sea of pleasure.
It was a wild night, but when she woke up in the morning, Penelope felt surprisingly refreshed and full of energy.
The driver dropped Theodore off at his office first. As he was getting out of the car, she called out softly, “Hubby.”
Theodore saw her mischievous grin and knew she was up to no good.
“Now you owe me a hundred million,” she declared.
“Heh, so you’ve found a new way to get rich?”
Penelope grinned. “You’d better not make me angry in the future. I’ll just keep calling you husband, one hundred million a pop. I’ll bankrupt you for sure!”
“Even a highway robber isn’t as efficient as you.”
“Hehe, and I don’t just take your money. I take your body too.”
“Not in broad daylight. But tonight, I’ll let you rob me blind.” With a wicked smile, Theodore turned and headed into the office.
Penelope was feeling quite pleased with herself, but as she settled back into her seat, a sharp pain shot through her lower back. It was incredibly sore. Maybe she should be a little more cautious about this whole “robbing” business.
