Zara's POV“Aha…” I let out a low moan when my husband shoved the tip of his manhood bulging under his pants in between my buttocks.I breathed heavily against the wall I was caged with, my front squeezed to the wall while Xander was on my back. My breaths were loud enough, the more Xander was getting harder. Why was he all of a sudden growing horny?My shoulder blades rose up when I felt his warm breath with the smell of Tequila Rose blown into my ear.He whispered in his ravishing voice that made me feel something in my stomach.“Come on, didn't you hear your husband's order, Zara?” He slurred.“Strip!” He said in a whisper. I couldn't bear what Xander was making me feel. I felt something like this only with my one-night-stand.Didn't I despise my husband? Then why the fuck was my body reacting like this?Suddenly I felt his fingers touching the zipper of my dress. My breath stifled in my throat.What the fuck? Was he going to strip me?I immediately turned over my heel, my face tha
Zara's POVMy heart was in my mouth. With my wide eyes, I glanced down at what position I and Xander were at. He made me sit on his lap and my hand was on his bare chest.He was so smoky and hot! I instantly averted my hand and tried to rise from him but his grip over my waist tightened and he pulled me back on his lap.“You are a rebellious kitten, aren't you?” He said, his mouth sending the scent of Tequila Rose.I said timidly, “Didn't you hate getting close to me, Xander?”Awkwardly I glanced down at myself sitting on his lap, “Why am I sitting on your lap?”Last time, I tried to seduce him this way and he was boiling in rage. He had strictly told me to behave myself after I tried to seduce him.I said, “I will call Benjamin. He will help you with the shirt.”I tried to rise again but he fastened me to his lap and said, “If I make my assistant do this job then what am I having my wife for?”Yes, his order should be obeyed. I turned my head behind and stretched my hand out to take
Zara's POV“Keep this intact,” Xander said as he placed his blazer on my shoulder blades firmly, making sure it wouldn't fall off.As I saw him walking toward the door, I hurriedly followed him. Once we were out of the room, Xander stood by the side of the elevator.The elevator doors opened and Xander was the first one to step in. On seeing me frozen to my spot, Xander clicked his tongue and said gruffly, “Zara, we are running late already. Come on in.”I immediately got inside the elevator, my mind still wondering where Xander was taking me.The elevator doors chimed again and the doors opened to Benjamin.Xander pulled me out of the elevator and all three of us were walking. I could sense seriousness in Xander's tone and his behavior. Where did the Tequila Rose's effect vanished all of a sudden?“I hope we aren't late for it?” Xander asked.Benjamin whispered back,.”No, Boss. We are on time. Please, this way.”He stretched his arm out at our left. We turned left and found huge maho
Xander's POVThe moment Benjamin said that Tania wanted to see me, I had my eyes on Zara. As expected, she was taken aback. I could sense the shock and a flicker of rage in her eyes.She glanced at the gate before looking into my eyes. She was probably looking for an answer to her question whether I was going to see Tania or not. But I stood wrong.Tania wanting me at freaking 1:30 AM was shocking but what was even more shocking was how Zara's face held a tinge of rage amidst the possession running cold.In the next second, I saw her turning around, her back facing me. She acted unbothered and ignored what Benjamin said as she walked ahead, and took the stairs for the bedroom.With my startled eyes, I saw Zara but she didn't turn back even once to see her husband. My frozen gaze flinched when I heard her shutting the door of the bedroom.“My Alpha, should I refuse Tania? Yes, I think I should tell her that you can't meet her right now.” Benjamin asserted and turned around to go to the
Xander's POV“I am coming,” I said to my beta over the mind-link.The way Tania was tightly clinging to me was downright disgusting for my wolf. I wanted to angrily tear her apart for what she did to me but I held back because I wanted to see how far Tania would go.I broke free from the hug, and said, “You will get the money, Tania. Now you should leave.”But Tania held my bicep.Raising her crestfallen face with fake tears, she purred, “Can't you stay with me for longer, Xander? I need you.”Obviously not!I immediately parted her fingers from my bicep and said, “I will see you tomorrow, Tania.”I passed an indirect taunt at her, “It's not that you need me, Tania. Your father needs you.”Without passing another glance at her, I got out of the car and walked my way to my mansion's entrance, leaving Tania behind.The moment I got into the living room, Benjamin walked up to me and said, his voice low, “Didn't you get late, My Alpha?”Oh, so now he wasn't in his role as my subordinate b
Zara's POVA loud gasp filled with shock left Tania's lips. She widened her eyes and broke out hysterically, “What did you say?”I knew as per the contract, it was strictly forbidden to disclose our relationship to anyone in the public. Our marriage was a secret between Xander and my families. But Tania's scornfulness, her snobbish attitude was going way too high and all this while I had been silent but no more. She should know her real place.I curled my lips into a smirk and said with a full swing of snobbish appeal, “Yes, you heard me right.”I slowed down and said with emphasis, “He is my husband and not your boyfriend, my dear Tania.”Tania's fallen apart mouth got together to grit her teeth harshly.Through her gritted teeth, she hissed, “Not even in your fucking dreams, Zara. He is my boyfriend.”I darkly chuckled, “You are dreaming, Tania.”I raised my hand and stroked her cheek, as I rolled out venomous words in sweetness, “How can he be your boyfriend when he is my husband?”
Zara's POVI chewed on my lower lip nervously as I read the text message again.He wanted me to return early but why?Whatever it was, what mattered to me was that he was my helping hand who saved my world from collapsing into dumps.I took a deep breath before I typed out.~Yes, I will be back early.~I had some work pending, so I quickly decided to go back to my office room and get it done and leave the hospital early.With a smiling face, I exited the hospital. Though I had this feeling of thrill tinged with fear after what Xander texted me, it was a happy day for me. Xander got the best set of doctors from the world and this meant in no way would I lose my mother!Earlier, I thought of going straight to the mansion and wait for my husband's arrival and thank him politely but a plain thank you wouldn't do justice.It was dinner time already and an idea crossed my mind. How about I cook a hearty dinner for him? Yes, that would be a good way to express my gratitude.Instead of going
Zara's POVMy heart drummed fiercely when his sturdy, icy fingers played with my waist, holding me intact on his lap.“You have never been so good to cook all this for serving me. I am sure something is off.” He said, squinting his eyes at me.His lips etched on a dark smirk as he taunted me, “A wife who is absent on her wedding night means she despises her husband a lot. I am sure you have poisoned all this good food!”What?! I was genuinely grateful and this was what he would think about all of this?!I felt the bad urge to roll my eyes but I held back. Whatever I had done for him was in good faith because he helped me when nobody could have helped me.His suspicion changed into shock when he saw a wide smile marking my lips.“You are my husband, Xander. Why would I poison your food?” I said sweetly before detaching my gaze from him to the contents on the table.Still seated on his lap, I corked the wine bottle open and poured them in two glasses.I handed him one wine glass, and sa
