Billionaire's Blackmail Bride: Billionaire Brothers Kent - Ridge's Story (The BAD BOY BILLIONAIRES Series) Read Online Free PDF

to be a lot of fun. Fun for her, anyway. For Ridge Kent,
not so much.
    Ridge had blackmailed her into marrying him and she’d ended up
accepting his proposal, if you could call it that. It was like no marriage
proposal she would ever have expected. In fact, she’d pretty much given up on
being proposed to at all. Her work had been her life for so many years. She’d
hardly had time to include a man in the middle of that. And then, before she
knew it, she was pushing thirty and her mother had begun harassing her for
grandkids.
    Now her mother finally had her wish. Her daughter was a married
woman and no amount of explaining would make her see there was really no cause
for celebration. Her heart was set on grandkids, temporary arrangement be
damned.
    But that wasn’t going to happen, not if Lani had anything to do with
it. And she did. A lot.
    She smiled as she thought back to the conversation she’d had with
Ridge just days before the wedding.
    “There will be no love-making,” she’d declared, laying down the rule
before he got any ideas. “No sex or anything even close.”
    He’d given her a sly grin. “What about something that’s just in the
ball park?”
    “No, nothing. Zilch.” She chopped her hand down with force, showing
him just how much she meant the zilch part. “No hugging, no kissing, nada.”
    “Hmm. Kinda harsh, aren’t we?” For some reason he hadn’t seemed
worried. Sort of amused, really. Did he think she didn’t mean it? “So,” he
continued, “for one whole year we’re going to live in the same house and not
touch each other? Do you really think you can manage that?” Then his grin
widened and he spread his arms wide. “How are you going to resist all this,
what do you ladies call it, man candy?”
    “Ha. Don’t get ahead of yourself. I’ll resist you just fine. You
just give me your promise that we won’t make love.”
    He’d come close, right up to her, and when he spoke his voice was
deceptively cool. “Here’s what I will promise you. I will make love to you,” he
said softly, “but not until you come to me, begging for it.”
    "Never," she hissed, glaring up at him. "You'll never
live to see me begging you for sex, ever."
    Instead of backing off he only laughed. “And one more thing. You
won’t get my promise that I won’t kiss you but you can rest assured that I will
never make love to you unless you come to me first. And trust me, you will.”
    “You arrogant ass. Do you think you’re irresistible?” She was
breathing hard now, she was that angry.
    “I know I am,” the conceited pig replied, so full of himself it made
her want to deliver a swift kick to his shin.
    “We’ll just see about that.”
    And that was where their conversation ended because she turned on
her heel and stalked off, the sound of his laughter ringing in her ears.
    He’d laughed at her then but tonight, their wedding night, Lani was
going to have the last laugh. Tonight they would see who could resist who.
    After the wedding Ridge had flown them to Hawaii in his private jet.
That night in the bridal suite of Grand MoloKa’i Hotel Lani made preparations
to be as alluring and seductive as she possibly could. Luckily, the bridal suite
had two bedrooms so, quickly claiming one of them then making sure to close the
door firmly behind her, she had no problem in doing her thing in private. She’d
always been the casual type, usually a make-up free, pajama-wearing kind of
girl. Tonight, though, she would go all out. She would make Ridge want her so
bad his teeth would hurt.
    After a leisurely bath in the Jacuzzi tub Lani patted herself dry
then sat on the padded bench where she spent a good six or seven minutes
massaging rose-scented body oil into her skin. She finished by spritzing her
favorite perfume, Estee Lauder Pleasures, behind her ears and along the column
of her neck. Now it was time to dress.
    Still nude, she left the bathroom and walked into the bedroom,
confident that Ridge would
