The Seduction (Finding Forever #2) - Jessie Jones Page 0,20

as she looked at the beautiful Greek woman. What if Pandora was right? John and Patrick had been photographed with women all around the world and they were all gorgeous. Next to them, Gillian was plain and plus size, not exactly a hot, sexy billionaire's type. Refusing to let Pandora see her sadness and hurt, Gillian chuckled as she turned to look in the mirror and apply some fresh lipstick. "Say what you will, Pandora, about my appearance, but John clearly likes what he sees. Honestly, I think you feel threatened by my presence, honey. Only a woman who is intimidated would go to such great lengths to find out about her competition. Who knows? Maybe John will be the one left with wanting more when I leave tomorrow. I actually think it would be quite funny if you were replaced by someone like me. Talk about a blow to your self-esteem."

"We'll see who John wants when I step up on the stage in a minute to strip," Pandora replied, her calm fa?ade beginning to crack with anger. "John, Patrick, and their friends will forget that you're even sitting there. Don't worry, though. I'll make sure to call out your name while they fuck me in front of you. I hope you stick around to enjoy the show."

A slow, seductive smile suddenly crossed Gillian's face as an idea popped into her head. If Pandora wanted a war, then she was just drunk enough for the challenge. Gillian only hoped that she came out victorious, especially if John was the prize!

Chapter 3

John sat back on the plush, leather sofa nursing his glass of whiskey. His eyes scanned the crowd for his beautiful, emerald eyed American. What the hell was taking her so long in the bathroom? John knew that Gillian was angry with him, but that had not stopped her body from responding to his last kiss. Maybe he had misread her anger as jealousy. What if his fiery kitten was trying to escape? He had kept her a prisoner in his home for the past week knowing that she desperately wanted to leave. John had felt as though Gillian was having a good time until Pandora had arrived moments ago. Her laughter and smile had taken him by surprise and had only emphasized the beauty of her features. When Gillian's soft, smiling eyes had touched his, he had felt a warmth spread through every inch of his body. The ebony haired woman was such an enigma to him. He knew damn well that the American beauty had thoroughly enjoyed their sexual encounter in the game room, but now she was pissed at him and trying to avoid him. What if Gillian had suddenly changed her mind and was trying to leave? John would be damned if he let her slip away that easily! This woman belonged to him, and he had no intention of letting her go. John would simply drag her luscious ass out of the bathroom and fuck her into submission.

Just as John leaned forward and got ready to stand up, he heard Patrick say in Gaelic, "She's coming back, boyo. No need to go and drag her out of the bathroom like a fucking caveman. You've already caused quite the spectacle tonight. If you're not careful, Johnny, everyone here will assume she's the next Mrs. Kenric."

"Fuck you, Pat," John growled, leaning back in his seat to cast an angry glance at the Irishman. Patrick sat with a smug smile on his face as he watched the women stripping on the stage. Damn his brother for being able to read his thoughts! "I was simply going to make sure Gillian isn't trying to leave. I'm not done with her yet."

"Neither am I, Johnny," the Irishman calmly replied as Pandora took the stage to strip. He had never noticed before how plain looking the Greek beauty was until tonight. "But you have the guards watching her every move. Your little kitten would be stupid to try to escape, and we both know she's anything but that, so stop making an ass out of yourself and enjoy your Greek bitch taking her clothes off."

The large man watched Patrick roll his eyes before grabbing a bottle of beer from the table to drink. As Pat pulled out his phone and began checking his emails, John glanced up to see a very naked Pandora seductively walking toward him. His eyes blackened with rage and his body tensed as the Greek woman straddled
