Contractually Yours Friends, Family and Love
Narrator's POV"I am sure you haven't had your dinner yet. So why don't you join me? I am cooking Italian tonight." Sophie said to Adrien over the phone."The food will taste good right?" He teased, making her snap. "Hey! What do you mean? Of course, it will be tasty. I am cooking it.""That's exactly why I am asking." He deadpanned, making her shriek in annoyance."Adrien!"."Alright. I will be there in 15 minutes." He thought for a while before answering. He didn't feel good about leaving Crystal to eat by herself but as he watched her talking to Evan with such enthusiasm, he didn't care anymore. At least that's what he thought. He decided to leave a text message for her, hoping she would see it."Okay then. See you!" Sophie said and hung up. She was stirring the food that was specially being made for Adrien when her phone rang once again. She thought it was Adrien, but as she saw the name, her wide smile faded and she answered it."Hey Mama." She greeted her mother softly, paying a
Contractually Yours Bad Day, Worse Night
Crystal RussellMy peaceful slumber was frantically disturbed by a harsh and loud knock on the bedroom door. Groaning, I rubbed my eyes and checked the time. It was still just 6:30. I sighed and yelled as the knocking did not stop. "Hold on."I opened the door and squinted my eyes to see a panicked Adrien running his hands through his messy hair. "What happened?" I asked him as a yawn escaped my mouth."Mom just called and informed me that Aunt Margaret is coming today." He spoke quickly."What? But she was going to come tomorrow, right?" I too had started to panic. We weren't ready to face her already. We had a lot to discuss and prepare."I don't know but her plans changed. She is coming today. Now come on. We need to get things ready." He came inside my room and started pacing front and back. "She might be here anytime.""Let's start with shifting your things to my room."My essential things that I use daily and nearly half of my closet was shifted to Adrien's room at supersonic sp
Contractually Yours Somebody to Lean on
Adrien RussellHaving Alan Marshall around wasn't pleasant. At least not to me. Alan had been my biggest rival ever since our college. He competed with me in everything, be it academics, activities, business or girls. I never let his childish acts affect me but he did have his ways to get on my nerves. Just like the way he eyed Crystal today. My hands itched to plug out his eyeballs. Bastard.I brought him away from her as she too was clearly uncomfortable. My friends were really glad to meet her. It didn't take long for her to get comfortable with them. I felt the need to go to the restroom and before leaving, I glanced at Crystal. She turned her head away as our eyes met. I made my way to the restroom and on the way back, I checked my phone to see a couple of missed calls from Aunt Margaret. When I called her back, it was engaged. It was already 10 and I decided we should leave. My eyes landed on Anna, who was near the drink counter, but Crystal was nowhere in sight. I looked ar
Contractually Yours What we Believe
Crystal RussellI was still admiring the moon when I heard the sound of soft grunts. I snapped my eyes to Adrien and saw him rolling on the couch in discomfort. I turned on the bed lights and looked at him as his eyes were clenched hard as if in pain."Adrien, are you okay?" I asked, worried."Hm? Y- yea. Just a little headache." He groaned with his eyes shut."Shall I give you a pain killer?" I asked."No. It's okay. I am just tired. I will be fine." He said but I wasn't convinced. He was visibly in pain and I couldn't sit and do nothing about it."You should sleep on the bed." I was already out of the bed and walked near to him."Bu-" "I am not asking, Adrien. Take the bed." I did not let him argue. He sighed and stood up to go to bed. His groans did not stop. Instead, his breath turned harder and I couldn't see him like that anymore.An idea popped in my head, but I hesitated to ask him. What if he wouldn't be comfortable? I thought to myself. But when he groaned indicating extreme
Contractually Yours Sweet Little Nothings
Adrien Russell"You will not work with that man." My voice boomed across the room. Crystal flinched at my tone and I clenched my eyes tightly to control my growing annoyance."I do not like him, Crystal. I don't like it when his name is mentioned, I don't like his presence, and I hate you being around him." I said through my gritted teeth. With a confused frown, Crystal stood up from the chair."Why would you say that? What is your issue with him anyway?" She sounded offended.Of course, she'd be. I just said that I dislike her 'friend'."I don't know, Crystal." I stood up and growled. "All I know is that I don't trust him with you. Not after what happened at the party.""Evan is nothing like what you think." Her voice rose up."How do you know that? I ran into him in one of my hotels today and--""I know what happened. He told me." She yelled loudly. "But that, Mr. Adrien Russell, does not give you the right to judge him." She stomped towards me with angry eyes."Let me remind you th
Contractually Yours Date to Remember
Crystal RussellI ran a hand over my curves through the clothes, scanning myself in the mirror. I wore a wine colour crop top with spaghetti straps and a sweetheart neckline along with a white pencil skirt."Crystal! Come On." I heard Adrien call from outside the room as I was wearing my accessories."I am coming." I yelled back and quickly wore my white sneakers before leaving the room. "I am ready." I called him."Finally." He turned around as his eyes fell on me, he scanned me from top to toe with his mouth parted. I suddenly felt a bit conscious by his reaction and awkwardly brushed my fingers through my hair while moving closer to where he was.I pleased my eyes with his insanely handsome looks. He wore a greyish t-shirt and pants, paired with a blue blazer and styled his hair perfectly, making his features stand out."Let's go then." He snapped out of his trance and started walking to the main door. I matched my pace with him and we seated ourselves in his car. For the first few
Contractually Yours Down the Memory Lane
Crystal Russell“Lily told me that Sophie had paid a visit.” Adrien said and I remembered about it. “Oh, Yes. I forgot to tell you.” He nodded then said again, “What had she come for?” He looked skeptical as he asked. “She apologized for being arrogant towards me at our wedding. And as we talked a little, we became pretty fond of each other. I like her.” I smiled widely. “That’s… good?” He turned to look in the front as he said. It was more like a question as he had doubts if was really good. “You both must have been really close friends. She knew a lot about you.” I told him. I hoped my envy wasn't evident in my voice. "Yes. Our mothers were good friends and we grew up with each other's company." He told me and I nodded. "All these years, you never noticed her growing feelings for you?" I asked out of curiosity. I knew Sophie had loved him and I wanted to know about his feelings too. "I never saw Sophie as anything but a friend. When she came out clear to me about her feelings
Contractually Yours What Feels Like Home
Crystal RussellI was at Hannah's place along with three other friends for a sleepover. I was excited after a very long time. We had fun all day, had pizza and ice creams for dinner and by midnight, we decided to watch a horror movie. After many arguments, we finally concluded that we would watch Annabelle. The lights of the room were turned off and the door was shut. The only source of light was the screen of the laptop playing the movie that fluctuated from bright to dim. The four of us were sunk in the bed under the warmth of the blanket. The movie went on with some scenes that made us flinch but we laughed it off while munching on the choco-chunks. I had always hated dolls. Even barbies. I had never played with them in my childhood either. So the only thing I actually hated or let's say scared me in the movie was obviously, Annabelle. Not her actions but her appearance. Soon, when the movie ended, for the millionth time I told my friends how much that doll disgusted me and

Contractually Yours Epilogue
Adrien RussellI stared at Crystal who moved around the large hall with her notepad in hand. It was five in the evening and nineteen hours since we fought last night. And the entire day, she had been avoiding me.I admit it was my fault but I certainly wasn't being careless or ignorant like she had blamed me to be. This day was as important and special to me as it was to her. I looked around the beautifully decorated hall. Balloons, lights and flowers decorated the high walls. Heaps of gifts were kept in a corner and the employees of Mosaic Events rushed to make the arrangements.It would be a lie if I said that I wasn't disappointed in myself when I realized that I wasn't exactly any sort of help while Crystal had arranged every nook and corner. I had one job. And I failed.I watched my wife as she suddenly stopped on her track and scrunched her face, as if in pain. I was already on my way towards her to check on her when she slipped her fuck me heels out of her feet and massaged the
Contractually Yours Heart Strings
Crystal RussellTwo Months LaterAs I came out of the bathroom in a robe, while wiping my wet hair with a towel, My eyes fell on Adrien's sleeping figure. He laid on his chest with the muscles of his bare back relaxed for once. A smile cherished my face watching him sleep with his mouth open like a little baby.I leaned further, hovering him, making the droplets of water from my hair fall on his face. When I brushed back his hair with my fingers, he squinted his eyes and slowly opened them."Good Morning." Watching me grin at him, a sleepy smile settled on his face before he grabbed my waist and rolled over making me fall on the bed with him on top of me. "Morning." He rasped in his bed voice that rose goosebumps on my skin. He leaned in and gave me a quick kiss before leaving for the bathroom. Meanwhile, I dressed up lazily in a sundress.Few minutes later, after Adrien had bathed and dressed up, he came up to me with his tie."I'm sorry that I have to go to work on this special day.
Contractually Yours Closure
Crystal Russell“Welcome home!” We were greeted by Lily with a wide smile and a hug as we came back home from Bali. Martin followed us inside and kept our luggage in our room and took his leave while Lily was so excited to hear what happened in Bali. She asked us to freshen up and get some rest while she prepared the lunch. As I entered the room, my hands flew in the air and I stretched my body before Adrien’s arms slid around my stomach and I rested my back against his body. “I missed home.” I mumbled lazily. “Me too.” Adrien said and pressed a kiss on my jaw, making me smile. “Do you want to shower first or should I?” I asked him, angling my neck to look at him. He ducked his head and nibbed on my neck, making me inhale a sharp breath. “Or we could save time and water and shower together.” My eyes widened at that and I shrugged him away from me. “Not happening.” I said and tried moving away but he held my wrist in a strong grip. “Oh, Come on, Crys.” Adrien smirked. “No.” I sho
Contractually Yours Bound by Love
Crystal RussellOur mouths clashed with roughness and need, biting and sucking on each other's lips. His tongue plunged into my mouth and I moaned, curling my fingers in his hair. Our bodies were still flushed together and when I began to feel a hardness against my abdomen I involuntarily grinded my hips against his. As a response to my action, Adrien wildly tugged my hair, making my neck crane upwards and his mouth went down to my neck. My eyes rolled back in pleasure as his hot tongue and lips licked and nibbled on my sensitive skin. I bit my lower lip to muffle the moans threatening to escape my mouth but as if Adrien didn't want that, he bit my skin and I gave in. This time it was Adrien who shifted his hips, creating a friction between us and I was a moaning mess while some deep groans left his throat. My hands slid under his coat and I shrugged it off his shoulders, running my hands on his clothed muscles.I gasped when my feet were lifted off the ground and I was taken inside,
Contractually Yours Birthday Hubby
Crystal RussellI undid his blindfold and threw the red ribbon away and Adrien scowled at the sudden light. Adjusting to it a while later, his eyes moved around the yacht then landed on me."It was you?" He asked, his jaw hanging low. "It was you who got me kidnapped?" I giggled and nodded my head at him as he threw his head back in disbelief. I got off his back and untied his hands and legs, then sat back on his lap, circling my hands around his neck."So? Did you like my surprise?" I asked, grinning. His hands came around me and he sighed. "It definitely did not start the way I expected it to be but... I love this." He said looking around. "And this." His eyes scanned me as I was seated on him, lingering on my exposed leg. I leaned in and pressed a quick kiss on his lips before getting up and pulling him along with me."Come on. There's a lot more that you'll love."I took him further inside, revealing the romantic set up to him. The yacht was nothing less than a boat-house. The roo
Contractually Yours Life Full of Love
Crystal Russell"I think I lo- Aah"The large splash of water on us made me shrill in between my confession. When I looked back up, it was a jet ski that a man had rode beside us. I was thrilled as I had an urge to try it out myself. Reading my face, Adrien said, "Do you want to ride it?"I nodded rapidly but then frowned. "But I don't know how to.""I do." He said."Really? Can you ride that?" He nodded with an amused smile as I shrieked in excitement. We went to the station where they were renting the jet ski. When we finally had it to ourselves, Adrien climbed on it first, followed by me behind him."Hold tight." He said and I obliged, wrapping my hands around his torso and resting my chin against his shoulder.It had to be the best experience of my life. Adrien rode the jet ski pretty fast, which scared me at first but a minute later, I couldn't stop myself from spreading my arms and enjoying the drops of water and the wind hitting my face. Few minutes later, Adrien insisted that
Contractually Yours Troubled Morning
Crystal RussellWaking up in the morning has always been painful to me, but it was nothing compared to the literal pain that I felt today. My head throbbed as if there was a hammer being pounded inside. Even a small task like opening my eyes felt like carrying tons of weight on my head.After a lot of groaning and grunting, when I finally opened my eyes, everything was white.Had I really been run over by a truck and reached heaven?I shut my eyes hard and again when I opened them my vision was a lot better. I looked to my left to see the large windows that opened up to the beach view and then to my right at the empty side of the bed.I remember being used to waking up with someone beside me. It took me some time to remember I have a husband as that 'someone'.As if the devil was waiting for me to think about him, the door of the room was kicked open and-Wow.My mouth dried up when Adrien– shirtless Adrien came inside with a tray in hand. It wasn't the first time I had seen his body
Contractually Yours Drunk-stal
Adrien RussellWhen I finished the call and went back inside, Crystal sat by the bar with her head on the counter and an empty shot glass in hand. "One more!" She banged the glass on the counter and yelled.Oh God."Crys!" She looked up and as her eyes landed on me, she smiled largely."Adrien!" She spread her arms to hug me and almost tumbled down the stool. "It's been so long. How are you?" I stared at her with my mouth agape. Her face was flushed red and hair was a sexy mess."How much did you even drink?" She squinted her eyes at me and began counting on her fingers."One. Two. Three. Fiv- No. One. Two–" I rubbed my eyes in frustration as she carefully counted. I shouldn't have left her alone. "Eight!" I heard her shout. "Eight shots." My eyes widened while she smiled proudly."Eight shots of Vodka?!" She nodded and giggled. I sighed and gathered her phone and bag before holding her. "Come on, let's go.""No no no no no no." She swung herself away from me and shook her head. "I do
Contractually Yours Off to Bali
Crystal Russell"Hey! Wake up." I heard as someone slightly tapped on my cheek. "Come On, Crys. We are almost there." I slowly opened my eyes from my deep slumber and realized my surroundings. We had just landed in Bali after a day long flight and I was so tired that I ended up sleeping on Adrien's shoulder while we were in the car."I am tired." I said, rubbing my eyes. It was my first time traveling for so long and it was really hectic."I know. But don't worry. You can sleep again once we check in at the resort. On the bed. In my arms." Adrien sexily whispered in my ear and I rolled my eyes, stretching a little.The car that Mr. Olsen had sent for us turned and crossed a huge gate. I looked through the window and was stunned by the view. There were miles covered with trimmed grass on both the sides of the driveway. The car came to halt and we both stepped out. The fresh air hit my face and I took a deep breath, enjoying the atmosphere.The view was a sight I'd pay to watch. Variety
