Anthony’s POVI woke up to the sound of my alarm ringing— Today was the day I marry my best friend and it felt like a different person entirely. Everything around me felt as if I barely could recognize it. The atmosphere just felt different.I sat up from my bed and turned off the alarm and stared at the door of my room, head empty. After a few minutes, I blinked and got out of bed. The stylists would be arriving soon and I needed to get ready before they arrived. The wedding was going to commence in a few hours. I already knew that the world was waiting for this wedding. The attention was huge on us and I didn’t need to go online to see what was being said about me and Sandy.Sandy…Fuck. Sandy was marrying me to save me, to save my inheritance and protect me in more ways than I have ever done. It made me feel something like a flutter in my heart. This has been happening over the week. I had no idea what was going on with me but so far, I have been getting the urge to touch her, to b
Sandy’s POVAnthony was kissing me!He was kissing me on the lips!My whole body was on fire from the way his lips were moving on mine, making me go crazy because he was finally kissing me. For years, I fantasized about his lips and now, he was kissing the goosebumps out of me.I could not help but to kiss him back, putting every emotion I held for him into the kiss and when he held my hips and pulled me closer to his body, I felt my body ignite even more. I placed my hands on his chest and tilted my head sideways, deepening the kiss. Just as I was about to open my mouth for him when his tongue asked for entrance, I heard someone clear their throat.It was as if I remembered where I was and pulled away at the same time he did. I became shy when I heard the loud noises coming from the crowd watching us and looked down, trying not to also look Anthony in the face.Anthony held my hand and turned me with him, so we were facing the crowd. I took a deep breath and raised my head with a big
Anthony’s POVMy mother was lying and trying to manipulate us. Something was not right.“H-How.”I stared right into her eyes, digging deep into her mind to see what exactly was going on and the fact that she was suddenly saying this out of nowhere.“Come with me, you two,” she said and walked away.I exchanged glances with Sandy and shifted my gaze to my mother walking. I sighed and motioned for Sandy to start walking. Together, we made our way to where she was standing, waiting with a glass of wine in her hand. Once we arrived, she smiled at us and looked at me, expression switching to seriousness.“Look, a lot is going on behind the scenes and you already know how important the family business is to your father. It took me a while to beg him to step down for his COO to take the seat as the current ceo. The man is getting old and as you already are aware, your father wants someone competent to take over. I do not know what he sees in the man, Trent Flintwood but all I am trying to s
Sandy’s POVI had been bold.Infact, I was going crazy. I had to be out of my mind because the bold step I took into telling Anthony that I wanted us to go on the honeymoon and consummate our wedding was crazy. Now, I was nervous from what happened minutes ago.The wedding was about to end and I was getting nervous about what was going to happen at our honeymoon. It did not help that my mind was still flooded with our kiss and how he has been looking at me ever since we had the discussion. Every corner Anthony was, he would always look at me with a look so dark that it made goosebumps rise on my skin. I didn’t want to delude myself into thinking that he was looking at me with lust in his eyes because I knew he was just looking to make sure I was still certain.This marriage was a lavender marriage but without the gay part involved or more like a marriage of convenience but I was beginning to pray that our marriage led to something more.“Hey.”I almost dropped my water when I heard so
Anthony’s POVFuck.Ever since I tasted her lips, I could not stop thinking of them and how I wanted to keep kissing her. It felt wrong. It felt like a sin to kiss her for pleasure when I knew our relationship was fake but I could not stop myself from wanting it.Also, the fact that she wanted me to be her first and to be the mother of our child did something to me. I didn’t know what but I loved it. My body loved the feeling it was experiencing and I wanted more.With the pull of greediness in me, I cupped her face and angled my head then deepened the kiss. I wanted to feel the insides of her mouth so badly. I could not help but run my tongue against her lips, begging for entrance and when she gasped, it was as if I got my senses back.Abruptly, I pulled away and moved away from her while rubbing my lips. Fuck. I forgot myself. All I asked for was a kiss, not a full blown make out session. I needed to remember that she was still a friend and doing things outside of our arrangement fe
Sandy’s POVI was standing in the bathroom, wearing only the lingerie piece Gina had put in my bags. I was not surprised at how revealing the lingerie was even with the lace covering my bits. I was anxious as I stared at my reflection in the mirror as today was the day I was going to have sex with Anthony. I have always wanted this. I always dreamt of this happening and it was finally happening.I peeped at the time on my phone screen and realized that I had been in the bathroom for almost twenty minutes. I did not want to give Anthony the impression that I was giving up so I quickly grabbed the silk robe and put it on. I grabbed my hair brush then brushed out any wrinkles that may have formed even after I spent minutes brushing it out. Once I was done, I took a long, deep breath and made my way to the door of the bathroom.This was finally happening. The moment I stepped out of here, everything was going to change.I opened the door and kept my eyes on the floor as I was worried abou
Anthony’s POVMy body needed her.Something hot and primal in me needed to claim her as mine at her words. She wanted me to make love to her and I was going to. My heart was on fire with so much emotion that my stomach felt funny. What was she doing to me that had me feeling this way? Every other woman I have brought to my bed never made me feel this way and as foreign as the feeling was, I loved it and craved more.“Please, Anthony… Make love to me,” she said breathlessly against my mouth.To give my baby what she wanted, I smirked and moved away to take off my pants. Once they were off my legs, I sighed in relief. My cock had been straining so badly in my pants and now that it stood stiff and erect in the air, I was feeling better. Additionally, my cock has never felt this hard and good before. Only Sandy could do this to my body, and I wanted more from her.I wrapped my hand around my cock and stroked a little to relieve tension while looking down at my perfect princess. She looked
Sandy’s POVMy back had a tingling sensation as well as goosebumps rising on it, forcing sleep away from my body and mind. I opened my eyes and blinked when my eyes were blurry. The first thing I saw was the glass double doors open, making the breeze flow into the room. I could hear the crashing of waves and seagulls. I shivered when a strong gust of breeze blew into the room. It was time to get up.I took in a deep breath then yawned before raising my head. I narrowed my gaze and looked around the room then checked the other side of the bed. There were no signs of Anthony, which made me wonder where he was and how long I have been asleep since it looked like the sun was high in the sky.I laid my head back on the pillow, staring out the door. As I stared, my thoughts drifted to last night’s event. Anthony and I had slept with each other. Not once but three times until dawn. Just thinking of it made my heart flutter and my body to feel giddy.Sleeping with Anthony felt like heaven. He
Sandy’s POVYesterday was a surprise for me. Anthony's sudden behavior and the sex we had was something I never imagined would happen after my heartbreak session the day before yesterday with Gina.Gina had taken me to her place and from there, we went to a club where we partied, and I drank to my heart's content. After that, everything else was blank. I barely remembered getting home. All I remembered was waking up from my painful sleep, showering and making breakfast for the both of us.The turn of events stunned me. I was confused but happy and satisfied. Something about the way we had sex felt different. He had been gentle yet rough. There was a look in his eyes when he was inside me, thrusting. His touches were softer and precise. The sex had me falling even deeper in love with him and I could not forget the way he was looking at me when I woke up to find him staring at me. It was a look I wanted from him more. The look left me feeling full in my heart and flushed.Someone cleari
Anthony’s POVI moaned into her mouth when she kissed me back, which sent shivers down my spine. My body had missed her touch and her lips that I could not help but kiss her more, deeper, harder and more passionately. Every part of me was awake and energized from our kiss and from the way my hands touched every part of her I could reach. When she moaned, I shuddered and felt my cock stirring in my pants. I wanted her so much it hurt. I needed to have her again, to be one with her and make my body feel on top of the world. I missed being inside of her, filling her with my cock and hearing her cries of pleasure as I made love to her.I pulled away from her lips to lift her into my arms and place her on the table in the center of the kitchen then I kissed her again. I moved my hands to the hem of her night dress then slipped my hands under it, digging my fingers into her soft thigh. I stepped between her legs and slipped my hands upward to her hips which I gripped and used in pulling her
Anthony’s POVI was stunned to the bones over what was just said by my drunk wife.She had to be lying or joking due to her state because what did she mean that she was madly in love with me? I could not believe what I was hearing. Sandy was not being serious. It had to be the alcohol making her say things she did not mean but people did say alcohol brought the truth out and what I just heard was sounding too good to be true.Sandy was probably not serious. We always said I love you to each other because it was a casual thing to us, and she was just saying this out of those words we playfully used to tease or to show we cared for one another.“You think I am crazy, right?” Sandy laughed then stopped. She moved away and rested on the couch.I stayed quiet as I waited to hear more. She needed to explain what she meant. I eyed her, hoping she said something to elaborate on what she meant because there was no way on God’s planet that she was in love with me. I always heard of best friends
Anthony’s POVThe drive home was a long one as I kept thinking back to what Trent had said to me. I never expected such a thing from him as I always saw him as some loser who was being used by my father but what I saw today made me understand that there was something even more about this guy. I didn’t know what it was but whatever he was, it was definitely something that was not good and the fact that Sandy associated herself with him made me worry. I didn’t know what his plan was, but he needed to not involve Sandy in it. She was just an innocent bystander when it came to the business.I snapped out of my deep thoughts when the driver came to a stop in front of the house. I had been so lost in my thoughts I did not know we had driven into the estate. I picked up my things then opened the back door before stepping out of the car. I shut the door and started making my way to the entrance of the house, only to slow down when the front doors opened, revealing my wife.A smile appeared on
Anthony’s POVI was a fool, just like how Sandy always called me, but I was a fool with a conscience and fear for the future. I was trying to act smart, to keep my mind and thoughts in check in order to avoid a huge disaster but it was beginning to look very difficult.I was already regretting making Sandy work someplace else due to the fact that she suddenly started having this glow on her that pulled me to her. I knew that other men had eyes because as we walked into the company today, I saw the way some executives looked at her and even during meetings. It irked me so bad that I almost lost it and fired them.Never did I care about how other men looked at my best friend but now that she was my wife, amongst other things that changed our relationship, it was hard not to feel a hot sensation in my chest at the thought and sight of other men eyeing her with bad thoughts swimming in their heads.I did not forget what I had seen when I stepped into her office earlier with Addison. They
Sandy’s POVAfter he had spoken, I was left feeling confused and conflicted. I looked from one person to another, trying to make sense of what I had just heard or if they had also heard what Anthony had just said. I looked at Trent and he was looking surprised while glancing at me. I looked at Anthony, he was not even meeting my eyes, it was as if he was avoiding me. I looked at the woman and she was simply smiling at me with innocence in her eyes, which I did not believe in.I looked at the Addison woman closely. She was just the type of woman Anthony always went for when he needed a quick fuck. She was slim with curves, long blonde hair, a pretty face with big blue eyes and a pretty smile. She was everything people and Anthony called his type, and she was going to replace me?“What do you mean?” I asked and sighed.No, I could not have this conversation with them in the room with us.I turned around and looked at Trent with a look in my eyes. I needed to speak to him alone, without
Sandy’s POV“I want my own room,” I announced, stopping Anthony in his tracks as he showed me the last bedroom.“Huh?” He turned around and on his face was a look of shock. “Your room? Why… I mean, we could–”I scoffed. “You told me yesterday how you want things to end and how you need things to be from now on, so tell me why we should share a room, Anthony? This marriage is a contract, isn’t it? Which means, there is no reason for us to share a room, unless we have guests sleeping over. Then we can pretend to be the happy couple that is madly in love with each other.”I wanted him to feel hurt by his stupid decision just as I was and with the flash of something in his eyes, I knew that he was, which made me very satisfied with myself.“Sandy.” He sighed and took a step toward me. “I… Okay…Fine. That will even be better because that way we can form self-control, seeing we have now had sex.”Anthony cleared his throat and turned his body away from me. He motioned at the door across the
Sandy’s POVBefore I could stop myself, I slapped him across the cheek, hard. My palm stung, which satisfied me. The anger burning inside me made me ignore the guilt I was feeling for hitting him. It was wrong of me to hit a person, whether man or woman but I couldn’t help it. He was hurting me, and I didn’t know what to do or how to react to what was happening.Anthony rubbed the spot where I had slapped and turned his body away. I glared at every move he made until he faced me with a softness in his eyes. I didn’t want to falter, not yet until he explained to me why he was acting this way all of a sudden.“I don’t have anything to say to you anymore, Sandy. I already told you what I wanted to do. I have been trying to summon the will to say this to you without hurting you,” he said and rubbed the red mark on his cheek. “Damn, you hit hard.”I was speechless as I replayed what he said seconds ago. He wanted us to stop something we just started. What happened to all those words he tol
Sandy’s POVOur honeymoon was coming to an end. After spending days, having the time of our lives, we were going back to reality, at least, that was what my brain termed it as. What Anthony and I had here was simply a fantasy. Everything that had gone on since we arrived here was all because of responsibility and our new rule in the contract binding our new lives.Once we get back, we would go back to what took most of our time. Anthony was a workaholic; he was probably going to bury himself in work while I did the same. I was nervous and worried about how our sexual relationship was going to turn out. It was a different thing when we were here and would be something that involved clarity once we got back.I dropped the magazine I was staring at when Anthony walked into the room while on a call with someone. When I heard what the conversation was about, I rolled my eyes. Of course, he was back to working even when we were leaving the hotel tomorrow. Even I, his assistant, barely knew
