Contract Marriage by Ashleh Queen (new reading .TXT) 📖

His hand was still there on my back when we left the room. And also when we passed through the lobby. We stopped for a moment near the reception. I could notice people's eyes on me. I tried to think that they were not on me. But no. Those eyes were on me. Or should I say on us? I tried to figure out the reason but couldn't.

I mean was there something weird about us. I looked at him. And when he found me looking at him he passed me a knowing smile.

"I believe we look so perfect together."  He whispered in my ear. Did he just read my thoughts again?

Only if you know how much I despise you. I screamed in my mind and returned his smile.

It took us a whole 10 mins to walk out of the hotel. The valet was already standing and passed Alex some keys. It was Bentley. I noticed the key chain. It was an A Alphabet. A for Alex.

This man is just full of himself. Noted. He opened the door for me and I took the seat without passing him a glance. But I hear him chuckle.

I settle myself in the car seat. You are doing the right thing, Jane. Just focus. He deserves an awful fate. And you can do that. My chain of thoughts broke when he started the engine. I looked at him to find that he was looking at me.

"Finally, we are going home sweety." He said with a wide smile and brushed my hairs away from my shoulder. I was a little panicked but I still passed him a smile. I know I should be passing him some seductive smile. But I could not make myself do it.

I was looking at the roads and places. We were passing through some roads that I really don't know much about. In my 15 months of stay in L.A, I never visit many places around here. Suddenly our car came to a halt. I noticed the red light ahead.

He is looking at me. I can feel it. Why I don't have any good feeling about this?

I turned to look at him. His face was stoic and his eyes darker. I know this face. Panic clawed my body. And soon it was followed by a silent gasp, the moment his hand came onto my thigh. I tried my best to stop my leg from shivering. He let his seat belt open and next his mouth was on my neck making my face tilt to the other side. His tongue traced my sweet spot and my breathing became shallow as his lips were tracing my skin on the jaw.

His other hand came onto my boobs. He pinched my left nipple with his thumb and I let out a moan while closing my eyes shut. "Your. Body. is. So. Good." He said in between the pecks while I just focus on my breathing. I try not to let his words affect me. "For whom this body is so perfect?" He asked. 

Me and perfect?

I stayed silent. "You know what I want to hear. Don't you?" He asked while giving open mouth kisses on my neck. "For you," I said while my breath hitched.

He left my neck. The next moment I could feel that his lips are gonna be on my lips. I prepare myself to kiss him back. I could feel his breath on my skin but his lips never touched mine. I opened my eyes to find him looking at my eyes. I couldn't comprehend the emotion. So, I said again this time more breathily. "It's for.... you!"

I could sense it. The sexual tension. I could see the beast in his awakening. Letting his hand be lost in my hair locks he was going to take my mouth in his to devour but the car got blown up with the sound of his ring tone. He picked up the call and at that very moment the signal got open. He started the car without securing his seat belt. Talk on the phone while driving.

He doesn't care about the law and his life or others. An ultimate jerk. Noted.

"Ok, I am on my way." I heard him say on the phone.

"Seems like we are off to a party." He informed me.

Suddenly he took a U-turn almost making me bump into him. I looked at him.

He was looking at the road with a very devilish smile on his face.

"Can you please slow down?" I asked him with a pleading face.

"And where's fun in that? You know I don't slow down. Right?" He told me. And the moment I get his double meaning reply I felt disgusted.

Gutter mind. Noted.

He pulled over the car and get to my side to open the door. Is he taking me to some party?

"I am not coming with you. Am I?" I asked him still held up by the seat belt.

He bent down to open the seat belt when I told him. "I am good at waiting.... You just go...I...think I will wait here."

"Hey, come inside. Play. Have some fun." He said while he unfastened the belt and helped me to get out of the car.

He was caressing my back all the time until we stopped in front of a lift. His aura became all so dominant in that little space. Crossing my arms I let out a frustrated huff. He pressed some buttons and the moment the lift closes I was pushed to the wall. He was hovering over me. I looked at his dark shaded eyes. Holding my nape he tilted my neck and roughly nibbled. I felt like I am his favorite food and he just can't get his mouth to himself. I closed my eyes and tried my best to contain my moans.

"First, you are not gonna tell anyone who you are to me?" He said. I tried my best to focus on his words.

Douchbag. Noted.

"Second, don't act as I have kidnapped you. Keep your head high." He said. 

Man! Are you for real?

"Third, smile but if something bothers you laugh louder." He said and this time concern was laced.

"Are you being kind to me Alex?" I asked almost moaning the last part.

"I suppose you took out my good side. And don't do that." He answered but he said the end part curtly.

"What?" I said while my head was still leaned back.

"Don't moan out my name. It does things to me." He said and stopped his movements. I felt his lips quite near to my own. I was ready for his kiss but it never came. So, I opened my eyes to be greeted by his grey orbs.

His nose touched mine when he breathed out the words. "I will ruin this pretty lipstick of yours once we are home." He said and straight up.
