Gabriel has his head thrown back, washing his scalp, scrubbing gently with his fingers, the foam on his head slowly disappearing.Bella swallows, her eyes tracing down Gabriel's back and stops on the curve where his butt stops.

Arthur’s POVBella arrives at the bar, ordering a strong drink. A mixture of whiskey and vodka and she downs the drink immediately, rushing into the crowd to dance. She’s swaying her hips, hands in the air and she moves deliciously well and it's not a surprise when she gets people's attention. A man in a leather jacket and pants, with a white shirt underneath the jacket stands behind her. She turns to the man, her brown orbs glistening with mischief and she leans into the man's touch, pressing back on his body to seek friction.She wants to ignore whatever voice in her head telling her not to do something stupid but stupid is fun, stupid feels good, it feels amazing to make bad decisions. When you make bad decisions, half of the time, they are things you badly want to do so why not finally do them and think about the consequences later. That's exactly what she wanted to set her mind on and it was working perfectly for her so far seeing there was a hunk of a man behind her, pressing in
Arthur’s POV The man’s kissing is rough, he's pressing into Bella and their lips move against each other's and she forces his tongue into her mouth, sucking at the tip of her tongue and Bella’s shallow breaths turns into moans.Her hands clings onto the man's biceps, squeezing gently as their kiss deepens. She hasn't been kissed roughly like this, it's always been gentle pecks and kisses with her past relationships but this—she likes this. The roughness, the eagerness and desperation. She doesn't know when the man starts pulling her top over her head.She stares longingly at the man's lips, it's not even swollen from the way they kissed but she’s sure her own lips are a tad bit swollen because they are throbbing, and aching for more kisses—just more anything. The man stares at her chest, her gorgeous tits hugged so perfectly by her white bra.“Be a sweetheart and take that off for me.” The man says and Bella’s heartbeat quickened. She reaches behind her for her bra and slowly unclaps
Chapter 1It’s a normal sight to see a man and a woman getting asked or forced to marry for the benefit of their family. Back in the days, if a certain household owed money, they’d look for a way to pay off the debt and this included selling off their daughters for marriage no matter how young they were which was absolutely disgusting. If the debt is paid off, your daughter can return but if she’s not, she stays with whoever she wants sold to until the debt is cleared. Change is inevitable, now they actually let the females become of the right age and tag it a contract marriage instead of using the word “selling off”. Bella is just twenty five, small in size, about 170m tall. She has pretty brown eyes, full lips, full eyelashes that casts a shadow on the bridge of her nose whenever she closes her eyes. A pretty prominent nose, a nice jawline, she is gorgeous and it’s no surprise that she gets hit on countless times but neglects the attention.She got married three years ago, when she
Arthur’s POV Their normal routine was eating breakfast together, they don’t even exchange words besides greeting each other and then Gabriel leaves for work and Bella leaves afterwards.They come home and they eat dinner together and they go to bed, separately.The only time they got to talk more than five words to each other was when their family called for a small dinner party. They have to act like they’re the perfect couple but after each night, it goes back to normal.Bella couldn’t take it anymore.She knew Gabriel was working in his study and she went to meet him, to talk to him but after seeing the man in just small shorts that were inching closer towards his thick thighs and his black tank top hugging his body, she lost it.She shuts the door, stepping closer to her husband and then gets on top of him, basically straddling him.The man is surprised because Bella has never come into his study. She’s straddling the man and she grabs her husband’s free hands, dropping it on her
Arthur’s POVGabriel isn’t exactly wrong. Bella knows how much he does for her family and so she always tries her best not to provoke Gabriel so his family doesn’t end up suffering alongside her.“When I ask a question, I need you to be vocal. I’m gonna ask you again, I hope you know that your soul belongs to me and your life is in my hands?”“Yes, I know that and I'm sorry for staying out without telling you. I—I won’t o do it again:” Bella says, her tears finally falling on her face and she stares at her husband’s eyes, searching for sympathy but it’s just an icy cold look she gets.
Arthur’s POV Her mind is bargaining with herself , coming up with possible explanations because there’s absolutely no way any of this is happening, it can’t even be countered as a coincidence. Bella turns away from the man, suddenly so self conscious and she tries to ignore the nauseous feeling in her stomach. “Baby, are you okay?” Gabriel asks and she wants to roll her eyes at him so bad. She would’ve died after hearing the name of endearment but she preferred to hear it from someone else, the man from last night and the man who was now sitting beside the other guys, directly facing her. She tries to avoid his eyes at all cost, doesn’t bother engaging in conversations and she knows the man keeps looking at her but she dares not meet his eyes. She feels dizzy from being so anxious, what if the man says something to Gabriel . Oh God. She can’t breathe properly either and she doesn’t know if it’s the right time to excuse herself and walk back to her room, shut her and pray she ge

**—MY HUSBAND'S FRIEND—**Bella shuffles off Mason's lap, her head collides with the roof of the car and she doesn't have the time to let the pain settle in before dashing out of the car.She stares at her phone with wide eyes, contemplating on what to do.Mason steps out of the car, standing in front of her, aching to calm the younger down because it looks like she’d start hyperventilating soon."What is wrong with me? He said I should be back before ten and it's almost midnight.""Bella, calm down.""No no, please don't touch me." Bella says, slapping Mason's hands away.Okay?Mason winces at those words but manages to hide his expression."I'll take a cab home.""What? No, why would I let you do that when I can drive you home? Bella, I'm driving you home.""You keep forgetting that you're staying at our place! What do you think is gonna happen when we walk in together?""I'll park a few blocks away and you can go in. I'll come in later.""We both smell like alcohol. Mason, please—j
Arthur’s POV Bella walks out of the elevator and stops in her tracks when she sees Gabriel, who was also making his way into the elevator.Bella's grin instantly disappears, replaced with a frown.She walks into the elevator, knowing it's best not to step out, so she stays back as the elevator door shuts close."Where are you heading to?" Gabriel asks, typing away on his phone."Nowhere, I was heading home. Why are you here? You only come if you have a meeting with the book company, and you always tell me before you come. Do you need something?" The pitch of Bella's voice raises with every question, and for a moment, Gabriel looks like he might slap her quiet. But as always, the threat of violence is left hanging in the air, unfulfilled."Do I have to call you every time whenever I'm coming to my own building? I'm the landlord."Bella fidgets with her jacket and nods."Sorry." "It's almost seven, we'll have dinner together."'Oh God, please...no'Bella wants to say that, she really w
Arthur's POV Both adults manage to curb their flaming hormones by not messing each other up against the bar's wall but they walk towards Mason's car, where it's parked at a quiet spot and Bella's back collides with the car.She winces at the pain and Mason is about to apologize for pushing her too hard against the wall before Bella grabs his chest so Mason is hovering over her, pressing her lips hard on Mason's and they're kissing rather messily.Bella briefly remembers their first kiss, when Mason practically took her breath away with the roughness of his mouth, his intense kissing and she feels it now, how good it feels to be roughed up.Mason slips his tongue inside, sucking on the younger's and Bella's body is heating up, legs trying to clench together to stop her from seeking friction where she wants it best.Her fingers find Mason's hair and she first admires the softness, her tongue never quitting the urge to fight for dominance, to be in control but she knows too well that Mas
Arthur’s POV Mason parks near a bar Bella hasn't been to, adding visiting the bar alone to her to-do list. They both make their way into the bar after showing their ID cards. Mason drops his hand on Bella's back to guide her to the empty seats in front of the bar where the bartender is mixing drinks for some group of people. Bella sits on the stool carefully, with Mason on the one beside her, staring at the drink choices. Mason asked. "Do you have any idea what you want to drink?" "No, not really. I'll go with whatever seems okay to you." "Okay." The bartender turns to them, looking Bella up and down for a minute with a flimsy smile before his eyes stop on Mason who's intently watching with an almost obvious scowl. Bella doesn't hear the conversation between Mason and the bartender, she's scrolling through her messages and subtly checking the time. She still has an hour before she heads back home. The last thing she wants is to get on Gabriel's bad side for today. He hasn't sc
Arthur’s POV It's Monday morning and Bella has to rush to work. She doesn't even get to see Gabriel or Mason or even have breakfast but she does stop by at the cafe near her office to grab a cup of coffee. Steam clouds are rising from the dark liquid, Bella waits for it to get colder because she doesn't want to burn her tongue no matter how desperate she wants to chug the caffeine and stay awake. She doesn't own the building she works at. It belongs to Gabriel and the man had the conscience to let Bella start her cosmetics business in the building. She steps into the elevator and more workers rush in, greeting her as well and she greets back with a small smile. Her eyes stuck on the elevator door as it started moving. She doesn't recognize these workers so she figured they worked for the paper company downstairs that she shared the building with. One woman suddenly starts gushing. "I heard they'll be a society event soon and I'm so hyped. The men that always attend are all bachel
Arthur's POV Bella's hands slip past Mason's shorts and stop. She looks up at Mason, who gives her a small smile, encouraging her to go on. Mason hasn't stopped squeezing and touching her neck, making Bella even more aroused than she already is. Bella boldly dips her hand lower, warmth clouding her hands as her knuckles graze Mason's stiff cock. The effect of Bella's thumb grazing Mason's length has his grip on her neck tensing. Their eyes meet again, and this time, Mason doesn't have that softness in his eyes; it's replaced with dark, sweet, and longing desire. Bella finally grabs his cock, her palm barely covering the whole length, and her mouth waters at the thickness. Her finger finds a vein that runs from the base of Mason's cock, and she trails her fingers along it, following it to where it stops below the head of Mason's tip. Her eyes never leave Mason's; she wants to see the effect she has on him. Mason twitches in Bella's fluttering grip as she squeezes his length. Bella
Arthur’s POV It's Sunday evening and it's the official first day of Mason staying at Salvatore home. Bella refused to discard her parents' name and answer Gabriel's instead; at least, they let her keep her parent's name even though they didn't know they were throwing her in the lion's den. The name 'Salvatore' has gone places. The family name, as heavy as it sounds on the tongues of peasants, it's a name that reflects the blood that runs through the bearer's name. Before you set foot into Gabriel Salvatore's home, you'd get scanned because let's be honest, a lot of people hate the rich ones and would do anything to get their hands on them and be the last ones to take their dying breaths away. The gate of Gabriel's mansion has the initials of his name carved into the gate like she's someone born of royalty. It's a magnificent look to the mansion. Once you successfully step into the compound, you're attacked with pure beauty. The fountain in the center of the huge compound doesn't
