"Why..." April stuttered. "Why are you looking at me like that?" "Like what?" "Like you want to eat me." "I do want to eat you" Mateo smirked, then his face turned serious as he cornered her by the wall, his muscular body hovering above hers. "But before that..." He paused, his voice hoarse and deep. "Before that?" April tilted her head to the side to have a better view of him. "I'd hold your waist against mine and kiss you" He whispered against her ear and his hot breath fanned her sending chills down her spine. "I'd kiss you so passionately till you open up for me and when you do, I'll explore your mouth with my tongue till we're both breathless and aroused. Then my kisses will trail to your neck and then to your breasts." His voice came out as a ragged, painful whisper. April placed her hands on his chest to stop him as his words were doing things to her she couldn't understand. "W-what about the contract?" She said in a breathy voice. "Damn that stupid contract!" Mateo said and captured her lips in his. ************ April, an intern of an event planning firm was offered the biggest opportunity of her career; to plan the marriage of London's youngest billionaire, Mateo Hades.

You did good

April walked down the aisle with her heart thumping loudly. How did her life come to this? She had come to the wedding as the planner but now she was about getting married to the groom.In the past, whenever she thought of getting married, she always pictured it to be a beautiful day; getting married to the love of her life and not some strange billionaire she signed a contract with.April had read numerous stories about contract marriages and she found them ridiculous and amusing. Never in her wildest dreams had she expected to be involved in a contract, loveless marriage.At first, when Mateo brought up the idea, she had blatantly refused and scolded him for taking her as a loose woman but it seemed like the man had expected that his bride would suddenly go missing so he had previously conducted a background check on her and found out that she was desperately in need of cash~ lots of it to save her dying comatose mother.Being a businessman, he offered her a billion dollars in excha

They bought it

Mateo and April walked down the aisle towards the exit of the church when the wedding had ended and somehow he found himself admiring her. He had to admit she was beautiful and graceful and he was secretly thankful to her.Mateo wasn't sure that he would ever make it to this point. After his bride went missing he thought he'd hit rock bottom but she had miraculously showed up and saved him even though he had used emotional blackmail on her. He wasn't proud of it but he was glad he had been smart enough to convince her. Now he was eligible for his inheritance.The usher's by the door opened it then made way for them to pass through. One of the numerous photographers stopped in front of them and yelled out, "let's get a photo before the guests comes out."Mateo frowned but nonetheless he stood for the photo with April by his side. "Close the distance" the photographer said.Mateo wrapped his arms around April's waist and pulled her against him, ignoring the way her body tensed in his g

All a lie

"Let's go home" Mateo's deep voice brought April back to reality. She looked up at him, confused. "Are we not going to greet the guests?""You can do it yourself. As for me, I'm leaving." Mateo said, already walking towards his car, leaving April with no choice than to run after him.They rode home in silence and April hated it because it made her feel nervous, giving her time to think about what was waiting for her in her new home. The wedding consummation! When she agreed to get married to him, she didn't think about what would happen after. Now she would-- . She shook her head to get the silly thought out of her mind.'I'm just overreacting' she tried to convince herself.The car drove further into the suburbs and to the hill side till there were only a few cars on the road. April began to wonder where they were heading to. Had Mateo kidnapped her? Before she had the chance to voice out her trepidation, the car came to a halt in front of a huge, gold gate.

Coming back

April knew that Mateo was playing with her emotions, she knew he wanted to have the last laugh but she wouldn't let it happen, at least not for tonight."All a lie you say?" She muttered softly, reached out and casually touched his shoulder, caressing it lightly and without meaning to, Mateo sucked in a breath and leaned into her touch.April's brow rose in amusement at the new discovery that it was quite easy to lead him on and his strong headedness was a facade.Despite how unaffected he claimed to be, she could still tell that her little effort was doing it's job.Mateo's subconsciously eyes drifted to her lips which he noticed were now parted and his throat bobbed. He felt like reaching out and taking those lips in his and kissing her senseless.He didn't understand his body anymore. It was like his body was a traitor, acting only on April's command. He had just met her today but she had somehow managed to h

Jealous Mateo

"Mom, I got married" April said with a sad smile on her face as she sat in hospital room where her unconscious mother laid. "I know you'll scold me endlessly when you wake up but there was nothing else I could do." Her voice cracked, she was becoming emotional. "I couldn't just sit back and watch you die"Though her mother was unconscious, April still spoke about her marriage. She sat back and kept on talking to her mother, knowing that she wasn't listening. Her mother was her only family and she made it a routine to come to the hospital and tell her about the events that had taken place in her absence. Suddenly, April's phone rang. It was Eric."Babe, I have landed. Where are you?" He sounded excited"I am on my way" April said and dropped the call. She bid goodbye to her mother and rushed to the airport. She had forgotten that Eric was to arrive today and he had asked her to pick him up.When she got to the airport,

She's mine

"Let's have lunch together""Are you not jetlagged? You should rest, we can have lunch some other time" April tried to convince him otherwise. She feared that Mateo would discover her secret and she didn't want to put Eric in any danger."What's wrong, April?" Eric asked worriedly and his brows creased. "Why are you creating distance between us? Do you not want to be with me anymore?" "No! It's nothing like that" April denied quickly. "I'm sorry if I made you feel that way. It wasn't my intention""It's fine." Eric smiled. "Let's go have the lunch, then."Eric held April's hand in his as they walked into a restaurant and she only relaxed when she saw the choice of restaurant he picked. It wasn't a fancy one so there was absolutely no reason for Mateo or any of his family to be there."How's work?" She asked, her eyes bright and the initial fear was no longer visible."Forget about work. Let's talk about you, about

Stay out of my life

"You drive me utterly, entirely insane" Mateo's voice was low and his forehead pressed against hers."Mateo," April whispered with a pleading tone. She didn't know what she was begging for. To hold her or let her be?Mateo groaned and gripped her hair tightly as his lips came crashing down on hers with an urgency she didn't quite expect.April moaned against his lips and opened up for him, needing more.'We shouldn't be doing this' her subconsciousness reminded her.Every thought faded away as Mateo, with one smooth move of his hand, cleared the things on a near by table and lifted her up to sit on it, not caring where the contents previously occupying the table landed. April instinctively wrapped her legs around his hips causing her dress to roll upwards thereby revealing her smooth, porcelain skin to Mateo's eyes."Fuck," He muttered against her skin before wrapping his arms around her waist, pulling her more c

Falling in love with her

Mateo sat in his office, unable to get any work done as April's words from the previous night kept running through his mind. When he heard her say those words, he felt helpless.It was obvious she was in love with Eric meaning that he had two options; it was either to get rid of Eric or make her fall out of love with him.Normally, he would have chosen the former but he decided to go with the latter because if April happened to find out that he did something to Eric, she would hate him~ although she didn't like him but he didn't want them to grow further apart.Making her fall out of love was the plan. He knew it wouldn't be easy but he was willing to try. He just needed to find a dirt on Eric or better still, make one up.Mateo picked up his phone and dialed a number. When the person on the other end picked up, he ordered for a detailed background check on Eric.Mateo had long had a spy working for him but he

Stay out of my life (1)

Mateo paced around his office as he pondered on what his next step would be. So many emotions were running through his mind.First, he was glad that he had found something to make April leave Eric but he was also angry and wanted to rip Eric's head off his body for cheating on April and lastly, he was concerned about April's feelings. How would she react if she found out that her lover was cheating on her?He didn't wish to hurt her but she deserved to know the truth. Mateo couldn't hold back anymore and dashed out of the office. According to his sources, Eric and April were on a date and he knew just the right place to find them.He got into his car and drove to the restaurant as quickly as possible. To him, it felt like the more time he took to get there, the deeper April would drown in Eric's ocean of lies.Call him crazy, he didn't care. He just wanted to get to his wife as soon as possible.Mateo arrived at the
