Meredith was getting dressed to go shopping with Brayden. He had prepared what she thought was the cutest date and it was the following morning he had more for her. Meredith thought she had everything she could possibly need, but Brayden apparently thought differently.

Brayden had succumbed to Meredith’s pleading and had pleasured her in the shower, but she wasn’t satisfied. She wanted more. She decided to choose a provocative bra and panty set, hoping when they returned from their outing she could ignite his fire.

She chose a black scalloped sheer lace I. D. Sarrieri bustier and matching panties. Both had sheer black mesh panels in the back and the panties had a cheeky briefs cut. She put on a pair of black ankle socks and pulled her favorite Nirvana t-shirt.

Meredith tucked her shirt into a pair of high rise Ba

    It was 5:30 a.m. Monday morning. Brayden blinked open his eyes and took a deep breath that became a long yawn. He was still tired from not sleeping the night before, but his body always woke up at the same time every day no matter how much sleep he got.Brayden sat at the side of his bed in a pair of black boxer briefs looking like a god about to shoot the best underwear ad ever made. The alarm on his bedside table went off and he sighed deeply. It was time.He went into a shared dresser and pulled out a pair of Brooks carbonite reflective black socks and black tights with a bright neon yellow from his mid calf down. He put on a pair of Lululemon black running shorts and a long sleeve vented charcoal colored shirt.Over it he wore a Brooks reflective vest also with neon yellow trim. He tied up a pair of black

    “Can I come over, lol. I got kicked out.” Meredith read her text to Edward and shook her head, mortified as to what the ramifications of that one drunken text might be. “Sure, Luv. Cum anytime you want. Do you need me to pick you up?” Edward had responded and Meredith groaned then followed said groan with a deep sigh. “Sorry about last night I was a little drunk.” Meredith messaged Edward after a moment. “Sorry about last night, Bub. Give Dino kisses for me.” Meredith hit sent before realizing that she had called Brayden, Bub. She smacked her palm to her forehead and did a double groan one in actual pain from her hangover. “You can drunk text me whenever you want, Luv. Did my brother really kick such a lovely woman out?” Edward was quick to respond. Meredith wasn’t s

    Meredith walked out of her parents' house to the drive that connected the garage to the street about half an acre from the house. Behind her new white four-door BMW M3 was a smooth grey Mercedes coupe with a black convertible top. Meredith had not ever seen a Mercedes like that before.The color was a dark cool grey that looked almost bullet-like as though the car itself could go the speed of a bullet. Meredith didn’t doubt such speed was a possibility for the convertible. Meredith had never really thought or wondered what kind of car Edward drove. What she saw seemed very fitting for the god of charm.“What kind of car is this?” Meredith asked as he held her door for her.“It’s a GT C,” Edward said with a tone of indifference as though it was just his errand car and his rea

    Meredith blinked and Edward got up and grabbed her hand that had been on his arm and led Meredith out of the coffee shop back to his car, which was parked at the curb just outside. He opened her door for her and walked around. Meredith didn’t stare into nothingness out her window but she still wasn’t paying attention to where they had been or where they were going. She was watching the man that was driving and wondering what other surprises he had. Before Meredith knew it, Edward had parked, turned the car off and was getting out again. He walked around and opened her door and that’s when she realized they were in a garage. He led her through a door that led into a wine room with a large wine fridge surrounded by bottles in the built-in wine racks. There was also a smaller wine fridge. Meredith was wondering why

    **Author's note: I missed a chapter ('v,v) Please forgive me!!! I have released it here as a second chapter for today and will make it up by posting an extra chapter next week. Please enjoy**Meredith stepped out of the car and Brayden closed the door and drove away. Meredith stared after him with a blank expression. How could he say he loves her then leave her. Meredith didn't know how long she stood there like that just staring off at nothing when her phone rang bringing her back to life."Hello? Mom?" Meredith answered and then remembered what Brayden had told her. "Oh my god, mom. I'm sorry. I'm on my way." Meredith turned back towards the car dealer and briskly walked down to the other end of the block where she saw the Truluck sign on the corner. She turned down Chestnut and there it was, the awning and entrance to Truluck.Meredith's mind had shut down just before Brayden had left her on the sidewalk so she didn't pay attention to much

    Meredith's parents hadn't asked why she was still at their house for the whole week. It was Friday and all knew was she had gotten a new job and that there was some talk of moving. Initially they thought Meredith meant she and Brayden were moving. The longer Meredith stayed the more suspicious they got that there was more to it than Meredith had told them. Other than running for hours every morning and eating breakfast Meredith stayed in her room. She didn't even come down for lunch or dinner. They were eating breakfast and Meredith at the table across from her parents. It was in a small dining area off the kitchen with a bathroom adjacent to it and a sun room that worked as their family room. Meredith was wearing her running leggings and t-shirt. Her skin glistened with a sheen of sweat from the long run in the neighborhood. Her parents didn't know where she went on her runs, just that she was gone for hours. When she sat down and loaded up her

  • My Death Contract   Chapter 174: Surprise

    "I know about the marriage contract," Meredith had heard her father-in-law tell her. She was hoping that he didn't bring up Brayden because she wasn't sure what she could say. But he went a step further and mentioned the fake marriage directly.To say that Meredith was surprised would be an understatement in the least. Her mouth was left open as she was about to take a bite of her salad. She held her fork mid way to her mouth and as she blinked she closed her mouth and opened it again at a loss for what to do."Don't worry I knew before he told me. I've known pretty much from the start. Brayden isn't the type to spontaneously meet women let alone get married." Grant told Meredith."Umm…" Meredith put her fork down and blinked a few more times. He knew the whole time. She went through all that to convince him that they were a real couple and yet he had known from the get go that they were faking."I was hoping that pretending to be in love maybe Bra

    It was Monday night and Brayden sat on the sofa across from his secretary and assistant. They had insisted that he eat something with them because he hadn’t been taking care of himself in the past seven days. It had been a week since Brayden sent Meredith to her parents’ place, and the twins and Jacob had to deal with the moody boss.The first day he was extremely agitated at anything they did right or wrong, then he started to scare them. The always polished and perfectly poised boss they knew came into work with wet disheveled hair that looked like he had washed it and towel dried it then walked out the door without giving it another thought.He had stubble from a five o’clock shadow he hadn’t shaved and he had an eerie vacant stare when he entered the office. Jacob and Mercedes were instantly concerned. When he started keeping l

    Meredith was thoroughly enjoying the garden party. There were immaculate flowers, greenery and shrubs delicately sprinkled around the greenest lushest lawn Meredith had ever seen. She had gotten so many compliments on her outfit. Of course, she gave all the credit to Brayden who had picked it all out. Brayden charmed all the women without even saying anything, when he did they were almost faint.Meredith shook her head at it all and went about the party trying every bit of the au d'oeuvres that were presented. If she found one that was exceptional she would pop it in Brayden’s mouth. Brayden didn’t complain because he loved watching Meredith doing this little dance of the foodie.The Baxton’s finally caught up with Meredith and Brayden near the sushi station where Meredith was trying a mini dragon roll. Brayden was talking to a well known architect and promising to stop by and take a look at his home designs.“I see you two made it okay,” Dave Baxton greeted he chuckled watching Mere

    Meredith and Brayden had finished their fourth and last jump of the day. They had been at the Chicagoland Skydiving Center for nearly the whole day. They were having so much of a fun time it felt like time flew by and before they knew it they were on jump four and starting to wear out a bit.They thanked Steve and scheduled to come back in a week to go over more ground training and get some more jumps in. Then they headed on their way.“I’ll drive. You’re exhausted, babe,” Brayden said and he opened the passenger seat for Meredith to get in.“It’s just an excuse to drive my car.”“Maybe”“Did you like it really?” Meredith asked with a yawn as Brayden slid into the driver’s seat.“I loved it! I think we should do jumps on Saturday and Sunday. Eight jumps a week and we can get to two hundred in no time.” Brayden looked like he was grinning, which to anyone else would look like a small smile. Meredith knew her husband was excited and so was she. Brayden drove towards Schaumburg and foun

    Meredith woke up earlier than usual for a Saturday. She had a long night and had only managed to squeeze in a few hours of sleep. Still she felt refreshed and with excitement that her husband was slightly afraid of. He of course had been up long before she opened her eyes.Brayden recalled the kayaking date, which was fun with a hint of danger being him falling into the river with Meredith laughing. But that was nothing compared to her jumping down the Swiss Wall. And while they were separated Brayden had no idea what Meredith had been up to. Jacob had been very vague with his reports.Brayden, who wasn’t sure how to dress for wherever Meredith was taking them, opted for casual attire. He wore a pair of Bruno Magli Italian leather sneakers in a dark burnished chestnut color. He had on a pair of Brunello Cucinelli navy cashmere creased sweatpants and a white Tom Ford t-shirt under a black The Row cashmere zip up hoodie.He followed Dino into the kitchen where he first fed Dino then pre

    Meredith and Brayden took the elevator down to Brayden’s office. Brayden seemed to be deep in thought so Meredith decided not to interrupt. Finally just as they entered Brayden’s office he turned to her and raised an eyebrow.“What?” Meredith asked, confused.“What’s going on tomorrow?” Brayden asked in a serious tone.“I just decided to pick up a new hobby and thought it would be great if you came with me,” Meredith gave her best I’m-an-angel smile and puppy dog eyes.“As long as you aren’t planning on jumping off the side of a mountain again.” Brayden moved in close to his wife and searched her eyes.“Not at the moment,” Meredith smirked. Brayden leaned in to kiss the smirk off Meredith’s face. She reached around his waist and he wrapped her in his embrace as they both sighed a calming peaceful sigh simultaneously.“If you want to move back to the condo let’s make it happen.” Brayden conceded. “I don’t care where I live as long as I’m with you.” Meredith looked up into Brayden’s sin

    Meredith was on her way out the office to have lunch with Brayden before they went to see his father to talk about the CEO position. Brayden had felt very strongly about securing the title. So much so that he had coerced a random stranger in the elevator into marrying him. Meredith sighed in relief as she walked out of her building and saw Sean waiting with the familiar Mercedes to take her to the Maxwell Sharpe building. She had on her black belted pleated short sleeve Burberry dress and her strappy Louboutin stiletto sandals. “It’s good to see you, Sean. Thank you.” Meredith said as she reached the car. “It’s good to see you too, Mrs. Maxwell.” Sean responded. Meredith smiled and got into the car and they were soon on their way. Meredith was slightly nervous about

    Meredith felt that familiar thumping and the pounding through her body as her feet hit the treadmill mat in her building’s workout room. She looked out the window at the natural light shining in the already bright workout space and smiled. She no longer needed to run as an escape or to be strong enough to push things down in order to be a perfect Maxwell. This time she had chosen Brayden and they truly were a united team going into things. As she was running she remembered her parents’ had been suspicious about her relationship with Brayden. Maybe they should look for a new home. It would be weird if Meredith had told her parents that they were getting a new place and they just kept the old one. Meredith shrugged to herself, and started her cooldown. Technically her apartment was a new place for them. And t

    Meredith woke up in her husband's arms and didn’t want to get out of bed. She sighed and picked up her phone and pressed the button to light up the display flashing the time before her eyes. Another sigh and a light groan later and she was getting out of bed and headed into her shared walk-in-closet and chose something to wear from her work wardrobe.She picked a Tommy Hilfiger pencil skirt with front faux zippered pockets. She paired it with a pair of BCBG black pumps and her Eileen silk top. Meredith got washed and dressed and grabbed her Michael Kors bag and headed out for work.She texted Jacob as she walked from her apartment to her job and made sure that was going to send Brayden home on time and make sure that he ate lunch. Meredith decided she was going to nag about this for the week.She d

    “No secrets, Mere.” Taylor was looking Meredith up and down and her outfit. She knew Meredith had kept her ‘billionaire wardrobe’ at Brayden’s for whatever reason but was now suddenly wearing them. “I can’t wear them?” Meredith tried to feign ignorance to no avail. Taylor just gave her a look and Alyssa was still confused. “Isn’t Brayden your husband?” Alyssa asked, having never met him but heard stories. “I don’t understand. Do you have separate homes?” “Yes. Sort of.” Meredith responded and Taylor raised an eyebrow as the server dropped off more drinks. “We separated.” “What!” Alyssa gasped while Taylor casually picked up her drink and waited for Meredith to get to the part she was interested in; why Meredith was wearing clothes that were at Brayden’s. “We missed each other. He's moving in my place and we are working things out.” Meredith shrugged then began to sip her drink as well. She had gotten a lemonade so she wouldn’t have to worry about Clinton popping up and carrying he

    Brayden wanted to help Meredith get rid of her Christian problem. Meredith didn’t really want Brayden involved at all. If she had needed help she would have called Jacob but she wasn’t ready to go that route. In all actuality, Meredith was hoping Christian would get the clues and bold hints she had for him that she wasn’t interested.“If it gets too much for me to handle, I’ll let you know.” Meredith told Brayden over some twenty-three layer chocolate cake that she had picked up earlier. Brayden picked the dessert wine and as always Meredith was loving the combination and they accented one another.“I was worried you would say that. Meredith, I want to be with you. Hopefully that’s a little more obvious by me moving in but for this to work I think we are going to need some sort of structure.”
