ALEXANDER'S POV"So, you're actually going to do this?" I could feel Kent's gaze on me but I refused to look at him as I ran my fingers over the diamond ring in my hands. We had been at the jewelry store for close to an hour, trying to find the perfect thing for Nicole. So far, nothing had struck me. Everything was too generic, too cheap looking for her."Do you have any better ideas?" I asked, handing the ring back to the attendant who promptly handed me another."I just feel like there has to be a better way. Marriage is supposed to be sacred and by forcing her like this...""First of all, she's the one that forced my hand. What the hell am I supposed to do?" I snarled. "The last thing I want to do is ruin the sanctity of marriage like this, but it's the only way I can legally protect her from Herrera. And protect my whole family." I snapped at him."She doesn't know that much." Kent murmured. He was vehemently me marrying Nicole this way and had been trying to convince me otherwise
NICOLE'S POV As soon as I signed, Alexander's marriage contract, the next thing he did was to take me for shoppimg. Yes I was totally confused but he told me that this was going to let the world know that I was his girlfriend. Everything was well throughout the day not until when he drove me back at home."There is a dinner I want you to go with me", He murmured as he headed to his bedroom. "Dinner again? Count me out?", I hissed."Trust me it is going to be beter. You're not going to run away this time",I scoffed as I rolled my eyes at his ignorant comment. "Nicole make sure you get dressed and ready by 7." He smirked and without waiting for my response, he entered in his room.By the time 7 reached, I was seated in Alexander's car. "Where are you taking me this time?", I asked as soon as he started the car. He ignored me and went on with driving."I mean this is what you did even last....."If you don't shut the fuck up Nicole, I'll turn this car off and fuck you right here, har
NICOLE'S POV "Everything smells incredible, mom." I smiled at my mother as I pulled the chair out to sit just like the others. Everyone was seated down including Alexander.At first when we had moved in their home, they didn't want to have dinner with us but now they did. So far as my mom put the food on the table, the mood was light and I was actually enjoying myself, but still I had my mind far away. I was thinking about the way everything changed. From Herrera my ex boyfriend to the contract marriage. It was still unbelievable to me.Everyone knew what had gone on with Herrera, and me being attacked, and I was thankful no one brought it up whenever we had dinner together. "Thank you, sweetheart." Mum bearded, setting a few other platters of food on the table. My mouth was water it all looked so incredible. She had practically made us an Italian feast, complete with seafood linguine and all the marinara and garlic bread you could dream of."It really does, Lorraine ." Jason smile
BLAIR'S POV What the hell was that? I certainly hadn't been expecting it. I was still a little flustered that Alexander made Nicole sign a marriage contract then also announced his relationship with her to both our parents. I was still dissatisfied and I was angry at Alexander. He knew it that Nicole's presence affected me but still he went on with forcing to sign it."Its total shit", I muttered to myself as a mad man as I stepped into the kitchen, where Nicole's mother was slicing a lime, and fixing herself a drink."Hey Blair, what's up?", She asked with a smile on her face which I probably wasn't ready to return."Just looking for something to drink that isn't champagne." I replied carelessly."Oh, here, let me make you one of these." She pulled open the fridge and took out a bottle of sparkling water. She filled two glasses with ice, popped a couple lime slices in each and filled them with the sparkling water, handing one to me."This is perfect, thanks so much." I said then wal
NICOLE'S POV. As soon as I left Blair in the swimming pool, I couldn't help myself anymore. I was burning with desire that needed to be stoppedBut I couldn't because all I could think about was his strong, manly hands tossing me around or holding me down while he thrusted into me. The ache between my legs just continued to worsen, moistening my panties with every naughty scenario that could come to mind.The shower was the only solution. Some warm water will sober me up and make me pure again.Without hesitating, I made it to the shower but even as I stood under the faucet, letting the water cascade down my naked body, he still rang in my ear like a nagging fly that wouldn't go away.My hands traveled down from my hair. Touching myself roughly over my perky breasts and pinching my nipples until a soft, breathy moan left my lips.As my fingers slowly descended to my pussy, all I had in my mind was his perfectly toned and tattooed body. His blackened rose tattoo that extended down his
NICOLE'S POV.When I left the house to meet Herrera, I was nervous, but determined. Adrenaline and an odd sense of excitement were pumping through my veins at the thought that Herrera would finally get what was coming to him and that Alexander trusted me enough to be a part of it. I hadn't seen Herrera face to face in several days, and in that amount of time, I had been a bit okay but now he was threatening me again.Herrera asked me to meet him in Manhatten, so after I got myself ready, I headed that way. On a good day, it was about a forty-five-minute drive, but the weather was beautiful and the water was crystal clear as I made my way over the bridge. The coffee shop he picked was in Times Square and so I hopped out of the taxi a block or two up, hoping the fresh air would calm my nerves. I rubbed my thumb against the indentation on my finger where my ring had been just a little while ago. Alexander didn't want to give him any indication that we were married yet, but I had been co
NICOLE'S POV My once quiet life was in shambles. In a matter of days it turned from the most lovely, sunny day into a series of hurricanes circling above my head. Things happened quickly, from my ex boyfriend Herrera, John, the bastard I was supposed to give a lap dance, the contract to me having a marriage contract with Alexander.That was too much for my body to digest. I just needed a shower and sleep till morning.That was my plan as I walked upstairs to my room but that immediately changed at what I saw.My gut twisted at the sight in front of me. There he was, Alexander, leaning against my bedroom door with his hands folded against his chest."Where are you from at this time?", The question that came out of his mouth, made my anger to increase.""Why do you want to know where I am from?" I asked sarcastically and he scowled and ran a hand across his face."Don't answer a question with a question", He rudely said that.I gasped when my eyes met with his ocean blue ones, cold and
ALEXANDER'S POV "She left again", I muttered to myself like a mad man. It was because of me and I was restless in my room. She left because I scolded her. I didn't give a damn at first but as minutes passed, I felt bad. I had a feeling that something was going to be bad on her side. As soon as that thought popped up in my mind, I i'mmediately walked out of my room, then made it to her room.She wasn't at home again, the door was locked and that immediately ruined my situation more. Fury pulsed through my veins as I thought about everything. She must have gone to find Herrera, her ex boyfriend whom she didn't know that I knew about. Was she out of her god damn mind? What could she possibly be thinking? I knew she was probably looking for some kind of closure, but nothing good would come from this. Herrera would never give her what she wanted, and she'd feel even more drained and defeated. But she was too damn stubborn to tell me everything her ex boyfriend threatened her with .All I
NINATheo stared down at me, his chest heaving and his eyes half-lidded. If he looked at me like that, I'd let him do anything to me. Anything.There were so many things that I wanted to say. You don't need to ask. Just put me in the position you want me. Tie me up and have me the way you need to. I wanted Theo to know that I trusted him with all of me, and that meant allowing him to do whatever he pleased."Can you give me a safe word, baby?" Theo breathed, running his hand over my thigh.The action was soft, and slow-but it left a trail of fire in his path. I squeezed my legs together, a failed attempt at providing relief to the annoying throb between my legs. It didn't work. Theo slipped his hand between my thighs, forcing them apart while he made sure I kept my eyes on his face.He was rough, but gentle and he made it clear that it was his turn to have fun.Safe word? I licked my lips, unable to concentrate long enough to think of a damn word. What could it possibly be? I was too
That was until I felt her take my pants off, and I opened my eyes to see her removing my boxers. Holy shit. My mouth fell agape, realising that Nina had different plans."Nina-" I stammered, forgetting that her name was something that I hardly called her."Be quiet," she whispered, wrapping her hand around the base of my dick.I caught my moan and swallowed it, still breathing heavily as I stared down at her. I'm so fucking hard. Every stroke was magnified, but my heart nearly stopped when I felt her mouth close around my tip. Fuck.My body tensed, and I whimpered when her tongue ran over the length of my dick. I looked down at her, incapable of taking my eyes off her."Oh, fuck-" I hissed, trying to understand and comprehend how it felt that good.Don't cum. Not yet. How fucking embarrassing was that?Nina stopped moving. "What did I say?""Be quiet," I repeated breathlessly, succumbing to her every demand. From her smile, I could tell that she was satisfied.I breathed out a sigh of
I couldn't stop thinking about Nina, or her words. Yes, I'll move in with you. The thought had me smiling- too many times for comfort. The idea of it was about to drive me insane and I couldn't fathom waking up every morning with her next to me.How dare she make me this happy?It almost felt...unreal.Breathing out a sigh, I let my head fall onto the pillow while I listened to the sound of Nina showering. I was tempted to join her, and possibly show my appreciation for all the ways she made me feel.I licked my lower lip, staring off in the direction of the bathroom. I should. I closed my eyes, telling myself that she should enjoy her time. With that being said, I stayed glued on the bed and almost fucking kicked myself for it.After all our moments together, I still managed to feel the tiniest bit of nerves when it came to her.How?The water stopped running and a few seconds later, Nina stepped into the room in nothing but a white towel around her body. Her face was flushed, and he
"Hi, baby," Theo's voice was soft, and gentle and all that I wanted after a long day of classes. I stepped aside to let him in, and I couldn't help but admire how good he looked in those glasses."I'm so happy to see you," I said softly, feeling relieved. I was tired but when Alice asked for an emergency babysitter, I couldn't resist. I was happy to."Why?" Theo said, gazing down at me. "Are you hungry?"I chuckled, nodding my head. "You got me.""Ah," he murmured, giving me a look as he set all the items down in the kitchen.I cradled Oliver in my arms, holding the bottle to his mouth. He drank as if he had never been fed before, and I scoffed a small laugh when he gasped for air and started drinking again. He held the bottle, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that he could keep his own bottle in place.I nodded in approval, sitting down as I let him enjoy his meal."You're so beautiful," Theo murmured, catching me off guard and I grinned at the compliment. He stood with his han
NINA"Hey, baby," I whispered, stroking the back of my knuckles over the little's boy cheek. He giggled, waving his tiny hands in the air as he kicked his feet. I held him close to me, smiling down at his adorable face when he latched onto my finger."Hi, mama," Brian greeted, entering the living room with the brightest smile on his face.Alice rolled her eyes, using the tall mirror to put her earrings on. Brian hugged her from behind, still grinning when he kissed her on the shoulder.They were both dressed in formal clothes-on their way to attend a black tie event. I stood with Oliver in my arms, attempting to sway him to sleep but the baby seemed to be as awake as ever."Hi, Nina." Brian let go of her, offering me a small wave when he plopped himself down on the couch. His tie was loose, and the buttons left undone. He stretched his arms over the back of the couch, folding one leg over the other when he took a deep breath in and sighed heavily."Hey, you okay? You seem a little str
"Oh my God," Nina whispered to herself, rushing out of her chair and down the hall. "I'm a mess."I opened my mouth-hoping to catch her attention, but she disappeared into the room and left no room for me to speak. I wanted to tell her that there was no need for her to fix herself up, but noises of cupboards and drawers opening and closing could be heard.I smiled as I approached the door, still reeling from Nina's words. I love you. There wasn't a thing in the world that made me happier. I wanted to hear her say it over and over again.My smile dropped the moment I remembered who was on the other side of the door. It morphed into a distasteful frown.What was she doing here? It was the last thing I expected. And the last thing I wanted. She was my mother, yes. But she had hurt me in ways I couldn't fathom and knowing that she was there was a reminder that I didn't need.I took a deep breath in, letting my hand rest on a handle. She knocked again, nearly shaking the doorframe with the
NINAI groaned out of my sleep, letting my arm drag over the empty space next to me. Empty? That didn't feel right.Waking up alone felt foreign and unfamiliar. I opened my eyes, sighing when I saw that Theo wasn't next to me. I strained my ears, listening to the sound of rummaging in the kitchen and I smiled sleepily when my head dropped back down on the pillow. A few seconds later, I was hit with the comforting aroma of cooking.Theo was making breakfast.I blinked, attempting to push myself off the bed. It didn't work. The last few days had drained me, and I was still feeling the effects of it even though I was no longer on my period.Letting out a breath, I rolled over to my back and stared at the high ceiling. I stayed like that for a little while until I heard light footsteps approach the bedroom. My head turned to the noise, seeing Theo's face pop around the doorframe. Only his face. I chuckled, seeing the disappointed expression at the realisation that I was awake.He sighed,
I leaned against the edge of the counter, waiting for Nina to step out of the shower. She had been in there for a while, and I listened to the spray of water hit the tiles while I busied myself with bouncing my knee. I was nervous-the tiniest bit.But it intensified when the water stopped and the glass door slid open.My body went still. Why am I nervous? It was the thought that she might not like what I had spread out for her that had me feeling anxious. I took a deep breath in, glancing around the kitchen one more time to make sure everything was in place.Nina needed a little cheering up, and I had no problem doing that for her. From her favourite flowers to her favourite dish, I could only hope that she liked it. I really hoped she liked it.Am I doing too much? I questioned myself.When it came to Nina, I wanted her to be happy and satisfied. Most of all, I wanted her to feel loved. Yes, that was it. I needed her to know that my heart belonged to hers. Even if it just meant getti
NINAI stepped out of my last class for the day, feeling as if I was about to collapse at any second as I dragged my backpack over my shoulder.Everything felt extra heavy today. Everything felt longer, too. My lower back ached, and the cold weather only managed to make it worse. I wanted nothing more than to lie down in a bed and forget that I was on my period.Fucking period. At least it confirmed that my birth control did its job.Imagine.My body craved for a nap, preferably with Theo's warm body next to me. Where was he, anyway? I was stuck in a four hour lab, and had no communication with him throughout those four hours.I wondered if he was still on campus. Probably not. I glanced at the watch on my wrist, seeing that Theo's last lecture ended almost two hours ago. I sighed, knowing that I'd have to get myself home even when it felt like death was knocking on my door.Dramatic? Absolutely not. Everything ached and pained. Besides that, I was starving.Deciding to stop wasting t
