One month into our agreement, and I’m about ready to kill Cole with my bare hands. He seems to be having a grand old time torturing me. It’s a Saturday morning, and I’m peacefully wrapped up in my bed, having an incredibly happy dream. That is, of course, until I feel something tickle my nose. I stir in my sleep and moan, snuggling into my pillow, drifting off to sleep again. Not even five seconds later, I feel a tickle on my nose again and lift my hand, thinking it was my hair, to brush it away. I jump awake when I feel something trying to crawl up my nose. I’m deathly scared of spiders, so I open my eyes in a panic and see Cole standing over me, a stupid grin plastered on his ridiculously gorgeous face.
I groan and scowl up at him. “Good morning, Sunshine.” He chirps, his eyes sparkling in the morning sun that was beaming into the bedroom.
I blink up at him and sigh, “What do you want?” I moodily grumble when he tweaks my nose. I slap his hand away. “Why do you alway
“Cole,” I whisper, closing my eyes. “We agreed to one kiss.”“Christ, Shayla, tell me you’re not craving my lips just as desperately as I am yours.” Cole groans. His lips were grazing along my jaw. “You’re turned on. I can feel the heat of your pussy against my thigh, and it’s making me crazy.” He growls lustfully, lacing his fingers with mine. “I bet you’re soaking—and throbbing, just burning to be fucked—just as I am to be the one that fucks you. Hard.”I moan throatily, and my hips rock up against his thigh that he presses against me intimately. “Oh...God.” I whimper. Clawing onto the last thread of self-control I have, to not give in and beg him to take me because he was right. I was burning for a taste of him again, to feel him pound into me the way he did that night in Vegas.“This flaming need I have for you rip-roaring inside of me is making me crazy. I want to lick that pussy until my tongue is saturated in your honey.” I close my eyes, and my breathing
I snort and roll my eyes, “Resist you?” I intone sardonically. “I slept with you the very first night we met. You’ve had me.” Cole looks down at my lips for a drawn-out moment.“I can’t forget the way you taste.” He leans in and whispers in my ear. “The way you sound when you come.”And he says I derail him.I press my hand to his chest and push him back a little so that I can look up at him. “We’re sexually frustrated. That’s it.” I tell him firmly, “If we give in to temptation and sleep together again, things will get messy, and I don’t like messy. I don’t want to complicate my life more than it already is. We live and work together, Cole. We can never cross over that line. However badly we may want to.” I explain, and Cole closes his eyes and nods.With a groan, he pushes off the wall and rubs his jaw, his eyes on me. I could see the frustration in his gaze, and I had the urge to go against my own words and kiss him. He opens his mouth to say something
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I clear my throat, and he chuckles wickedly in my ear, the vibrations humming through me.“Don’t insult my intelligence,” Cole burrs, squeezing my hips before they travel down to my thighs. “It’s a woman's instinct to want to make it known to others what’s hers, just as it is a man's to be possessive of what’s his.” He declares, brushing his lips along my shoulder. Was this his subtle way of telling me I was his? Why did that thrill me? “This is what drives me crazy about you. Most women would have gone into a jealous rage and gone in for the kiss to state her mark, but not you...” He murmurs deeply. “You did it with such poise, in such an elegant and respectable manner. I fucking love that.”“I think you’re reading too much into it, Cole. I was thirsty and didn’t want to walk to the other side of the gym to drink some water.” I explain with a sigh when he kisses the base of my neck.“You’re a terrible liar, sweetheart,
“Shall we?” Cole asks, holding his arm out to me with a charming smile. I slide my arm into his, and he leads me out of the apartment, down to the black limo waiting for us. The driver opens the door, and Cole helps me before he walks around getting in from the other side.He hands me a glass of champagne, and I take it. Our fingers brush, and I feel my insides go all gooey. “Thank you.” I utter, and we clink our glasses before we take a sip. Our eyes meet over the rim of our glasses, and I feel myself blush again. What the hell is wrong with me. I’m a grown arse woman. God damn it. Pull yourself together, Shayla. Fucking hell. It’s an arrangement. It’s just a game. It’s not real.Cole tells me about the ball we were attending. It was to support and raise money for a Children's hospital for kids who suffer from rare diseases. Cole was the primary benefactor, and they were going to name the wing after his family's name. That made my heart swell fondly. I love that he gi

"Happy birthday!"I look up from my desk and see Shayla standing in the doorway to my home office--naked, a cupcake with a candle in her hand, looking all kinds of sumptuous. I grin and lean back in my chair and admire my wife. Four months pregnant with my baby, and she's absolutely glowing, literally the most beautiful thing I have ever laid my eyes on. She's got a cute baby bump where she's finally starting to show. "Lord, have mercy. Show me a more desirable birthday gift than you, baby. Get your sexy bum over here, Mrs Hoult." I tell her, and she smiles and saunters over to me."Make a wish, baby." She expresses, holding out the cupcake with the candle to me. I lift my gaze to hers over the flame and smile."Honey, what more can I possibly wish for? I have you. We have a baby on the way and all the success I can ever dream of." I tell her, and she smiles amorously and bites her lip."You forgot the most important thing—health. You can wish for health,
"Well, first, I'm going to make love to you." She whispers, running her hands over my chest. I groan and watch her excitedly. "And then..." She kisses my jaw softly. "We're going to have breakfast with your parents." She smiles and trails her lips along my jaw. "After that, I'm going to kidnap you, and we're going on a little trip to Amsterdam with Aimee, Jo, Josh, and Sam."I laugh and kiss her temple. "Boy, I've not been to Dam in an awfully long time. Last time Josh and I went, we got so baked we ended up on the blue light district." I tell her, and Shayla's eyes go wide, and she laughs."No!"I laugh, nodding, "Luckily, I realized, and I stopped Josh before he did something he would have needed a shit load of therapy for later." Shayla throws her head back and laughs hysterically."Well, as bummed as I am that I can't get 'baked' with you guys, I'll be sure to keep you all away from the blue light district." She promises, and I chuckle, shaking my hea
"Oh, hell yes," I moan as I pick up my caramel latte from the coffee machine. I bring the cup of delicious coffee to my lips, just as I'm about to take a sip, it gets taken out of my hand, "Hey, I was about to drink that," I complain and lift my gaze to my sexy husband who was scowling at me."No caffeine while you are pregnant." He scolds me, and I sulk, looking at him."But--""Ah!" Cole cuts me off, holding up a finger, silencing me. "Herbal tea," He smiles, handing me a hot mug of steaming crap. I glance down at the tea and back at him."What the hell is this?" I question, wrinkling my nose, and Cole smirks."Decaffeinated tea. It's camomile. It's relaxing." He informs me, and I stare at him blankly."Honey, if I wanted to relax, I would have stayed in bed. I got the coffee because I need to wake up." I argue, and Cole shrugs while he sips my latte and moans in delight."Mm, this is so good." I watch him, not amused in the slighte
