2024-12-28 14:38:27Scarlett’s POV
A whimper escaped my lips as he kissed my collarbone. I pulled him close, felt him push against my legs. His hands pried my legs apart, his hands seeking flesh. I stopped caring about holding back, because more than anything, I couldn’t hold back for Aiden Vilarez. He was the one temptation I couldn’t suppress, and alarm bells rang in my head.And then he kissed me.I felt like I was on fire, and the air turned to molten glass. He tasted like coffee and sugar, and himself, tongue slipping into my mouth. I kissed him with hunger, a desire I’d been thinking of these days when I worked on sales pitches or traveled to Sweden.I could feel how hard he was against my thigh, and he kissed me until the world went out of focus. He cradled me against his chest, and I felt like a person would in front of a fire after spending days in the snow.I melted, inhibitions going out the window. The water lapped around my skin, churning as

Aiden’s POV “Fuck!” I yelled, my erection going soft in the water. I waded through the water, trying to catch my briefs floating around. I turned to see Scarlett fiddling with her swimsuit as she tried to hide her flesh - the very folds of skin I just had my mouth on. Mortification turning her cheeks red - the shade of a tomato. “What the fuck are you doing here?” I asked, growling. My head was in a complete twist, the desire and lust evaporating as if it were rubbing alcohol being exposed to the air. But I could still taste her skin in my mouth, the heat of her body on my skin. Fuck, I hated being interrupted. “Is that any way to greet a friend? Besides, why are you covering up? It’s not like I’ve not seen it before,” Odessa asked, rolling her eyes. My cheeks flamed, but I managed to keep my face very neutral, no shred of emotion seeping through the cracks. I’d gone on the defensive, just like my grandfather taught me, tightening the cracks, becoming rigid, eyes blazing.

Aiden’s POV Odessa was a master of emotion, knowing how to frame her words and enunciate it at the very right points, to spin them into knives that could poke through whatever exterior you had - hard, soft, mushy, she knew it all. Odessa had a knack of people, and boy, was she manipulative. “Don’t call me that again, Odessa. Or you’ll lose your tongue before you leave.” “Do you have to always be so melodramatic, Auggie?” she laughed, a shrill sound cutting through the crisp morning. “Some things just never change, do they?” She bent to retrieve a champagne flute from the side of the pool and poured herself some of white wine Scarlett brought outside. “If you won’t entertain me, maybe I will,” she said airily, dropping her Yves Saint Laurent clutch purse beside the wine bottle. Odessa was like an idol waiting to be broken. I wanted to break her into a billion pieces, grind those pieces to fine powder and scatter them across the Atlantic. She always came into my life when sh

Scarlett’s POV Shit. That was the only word that came to my head as I stood there, like a deer caught in front of some really powerful headlights. My head spun, embarrassment and shame billowing through me. The air suddenly turned heavy, syrupy, my fingers unable to move. Aiden was right beside me, his naked form shimmering in the light. He looked rather exquisite, naked or clothed, but this was by far better than being clad in expensive suits. I wanted to keep staring at him, long for his heat, his muscular body wrapped around me. I felt the crisp air on my open skin, nudging gently at my exposed boob. My senses clicked back into place as I was yanked into my body. My boob was fucking out of the swimsuit. I mentally facepalmed, my hands shaking as I packed myself back into the swimsuit. The woman still stood there, her figure statuesque. I guessed that she had probably seen him like this before, because her face was still like marble. No emotion, nothing. A feeling of envy

Scarlett’s POV I touched Aiden’s back, and his muscles tensed under my fingers, just as they did minutes ago. I pushed down the new memory of him ravishing me with kisses, running his fingers all over my body. It was useless to think that now. It would never happen again. “Hey, go to her. I’ll be fine.” I said, so quietly that I wasn’t sure he heard it. The tension in the air was writhing, a living thing swirling between them. I could tell they had history and I wanted to know what history was. But Aiden wouldn’t tell me. It only made me more curious about the relationship between them. He turned around to face me, blue eyes large with concern. We were so close that I could see the flecks of white and silver in his eyes, the different layers of the blues, the inky darkness pulsing inside the different hues. It was like a sinkhole, an abyss threatening to pull me in. I wished to let it as I once did, to pull him back into the pull and continue what we started. “I can send her

Aiden’s POV “What the fuck do you want, Odessa?” I said once we got to the study. I was still wrapped in a towel, but she’d stopped looking at me like I was a chocolate bar she wanted to stuff in her mouth. Not that it mattered anyway. I’d choose Scarlett over her anyway. “That’s no way to speak to someone who wants to help you,” she said, slipping into that childish drawl. “I mean, everything you’ve worked for might come crashing down if you don’t hear what I have to say.” A sigh escaped me. With Odessa, she always brought bad news. My personal harbinger of doom. I knew from when I saw her by the side of the pool that something bad was going to happen. And she said it concerned my gallery opening which was sometime around next week. Still, I decided to humor her, play along with whatever she was doing. “Nothing’s crashing down, Dessy. At least, not that I know of. Besides, aren’t you supposed to be in Munich?” “Ugh,” she groaned, sinking into the swivel chair. “Munich is so

Aiden’s POV I sauntered towards the door, and looked back at her one last time. Surprise bloomed across her features, and I looked to the couch. My towel was lying there in a crumpled heap, but my briefs were no longer clinging to my skin like before. Maria would come soon, and the towels would be replaced. Good riddance. “You know the way out,” I said, my hand on the door knob. “Show yourself out, Dessy. And don’t you ever come to my house without a call first. Take care.” “The investors are not going to buy the art,” she said, her voice frantic and filled with fear. That was enough to draw my attention from where I stood in the doorway. I turned around to face her, and knew right away that I’d been caught in her web. She gave me a small smile and sat on the couch after tossing my towel aside. I should have stepped away regardless, but this seemed like important news. I took a few steps back into the study. “Why?” I asked, the word dropping simply. “Because, you lied to t

Aiden’s POV I stared into Odessa’s eyes, those siren eyes I once fell for back in Spain. Or rather, it was otherwise: her wanting to get into my bed, making sure we only had a king-sized bed in the hotel instead of two beds, walking out of the bathroom naked, with water sluicing down her skin and gathering around her in a pool. It had all been a ploy by the master of the art of seduction, and I’d fallen into her net. Her hands closed tighter, and I could feel the blood shift in my body. Heat coursed through me as her body melted into mine, fingers working her wonder. I hated reacting like this, but my body would not be deterred. Being with Odessa was heady, intoxicating, ruthless. She was the perfect similarity to me, only different in terms of gender. It was why we got along so well as children. We were ruthless individuals who would do anything to stay at the top. “Is this how you plan to coax them?” I asked, pleasure coloring my voice. “Sleep your way through all of them.”

Aiden’s POV “You and your delusions of grandeur,” I quipped, shaking my head at her. “Get off your high horse and get down in the mud with the rest of us. Look, if you think you can hold this over me like a sword of Damocles, you can’t.” “What makes you think I can’t?” she asked. “I have all the power here. You have nothing.” “You forget that you’re not the only one with an informant network,” I replied, keeping my voice level. Odessa had to believe that I had something on her even though I didn’t, nor had I thought of her in almost a year or more. But I had a friend, Declan, who owned a communications firm and could help me get whatever information I wanted, no matter how bad it was. “Finally planting your feet in the world, I see,” she said, after remaining quiet. I could see the mechanical gears in her head turning, her mind trying to filter scenarios in her head. Of course someone like Odessa had skeletons in her cupboard. Secrets that she wanted to keep from the world.

I’m very excited, just a little bit nervous,” I tried my best to say, even though my voice was cracking.“She’s so perfect Dad, what if she’s too good for me? I have always been so selfish, what if I’m not good enough for her and our kids?,” I continued.

Not.I was in my room, looking up some of the interior design samples that the decorator had sent to me when I felt his shadow over me.“You need help with that baby girl,” Aiden said, towering over me and leaning in for a kiss.“No, but I may need your help with other things,” I said, smiling and reaching out to kiss him.Every day, I fell more and more in love with this beautiful man.“Oh, I sure know how to help with that,” he said, as he scooped me up and planted a kiss firmly on my lips.I squealed.He lifted me and then dropped me carefully on the bed, all the while kissing me fervently like he was parched and thirsty for me.We had been frequently having

SCARLETT’S POVI watched as Aiden stood up for himself. Being brave against all odds. We all gasped when he said that he wouldn’t be arresting them any longer, knowing that they deserved that arrest, he had been surprising to all of us and even the agents had looked on in disbelief.“You’re sure Mr. Aiden, because we did receive a call that you needed our help getting some people detained, you’re sure that you’re not being held under duress or something like that?” the agent, the one that looked like he was their leader asked, with a questioning glance, as he looked on each of us suspiciously.“No Officer, thanks for your prompt response; but I just made a wrong call due to some confusing series of events, I’m so sorry about that and I apologize,” Aiden said, while trying to look as apologetic as possible.“Alright then Sir, you can always call our office if you feel the need to, we’re always at your service,” The agent leader said, turn

AIDEN’S POVI would be lying if I said that I was surprised by what Pen said, nothing she did seemed to surprise me that much. I had known her for a while and I knew that she did not play by the rule book, but I was glad to have beat her at her own game, it felt extremely refreshing.“you better start explaining yourself, because I have already called the FBI on you and I’m certain you all are not ready to be arraigned for fraud,” I hoped to God that my eyes were portraying exactly how I was feeling. I wasn’t mincing words and I needed them to know that I had all this under control and they were all collectively going to suffer for even trying to sabotage the security of my company.“You all should better start talking because there was no way I was bluffing,”I could see the look of unbelief in the eyes of Charlie Fox and the bewildered look in Pen’s eyes, followed by the tired look in Scarlett.Scarlett was very tire
Surrogate Mother To A Contract Wife Chapter 130
SCARLETT'S POVFor the longest time, I thought I still had a glimmer of hope to hold onto; something small but significant, something that excited the senses even if it burned, something that lingers on in your memory even in the darkness. It was all a facade. In reality, I had nothing. Nothing to hold, nothing to have, nothing to remember, it was all empty, void, and meaningless None of it made any sense, none of it was great, it was all just a sad and lonely facade that I deluded myself into thinking that I had... I had nothing… I watched as Aiden tried to lie his way out of what I had just heard. He had thought me to be a fool all these while I couldn't stand the betrayal that came from knowing all of these. I can't believe Aiden spoke about me in a dehumanizing manner to this lady of all people. At this point, I could say I greatly preferred Odessa sneering at me, not this girl who stood in front

AIDEN'S POV "Don't talk to me like I'm a child, " Scarlett said. It took me aback and paused me in my tracks. I had a blend of mixed emotions in that moment and I think what I felt the most was pride. I was beyond proud of Scarlett for standing up for herself, but I took a good look at Pen and I just knew that Scarlett might have bitten a little more than she can chew. "What did you just say? " Pen asked while advancing towards Scarlett. I sensed a lot of drama unfolding. Should I stop it? Maybe I should. But am I going to stop it? I don't think so. I'm going to grab my imaginary popcorn and just watch the whole thing unfold. "I said you should stop talking to me like a child, " Scarlett said, even more defensively. She stood her ground and refused to back down to pressure. She was being resilient and I saw a boldness in her eyes that I

SCARLETT'S POVI watched in utter dismay as the events unfolded in my very eyes. I had felt tremendously nervous to break the news and to top it off, I had to do the revelation in front of all the peering eyes. My nervous radar shot up terribly and I didn't know if I was happy that it wasn't Aiden and I alone, or I was nervous that it was in front of all these people.The whole thing just made me confused and nervous at the same time, I honestly didn't know what to do or how to feel and yet I watched the conversation that ensued amongst them. The back-and-forth that happened between Penelope, Aiden, Odessa, and Charlie Fox was one that I watched with mixed emotions. What truly became of me after they agreed? Did I have anything to win in this situation? I was going to be at the losing end no matter what happened and it just made me wonder what exactly would become of me. However, the e

AIDEN’S POVIt almost felt like I didn’t hear what Scarlett had said for a moment, and for that, I felt lost and utterly alone. I questioned myself on how on earth I had gotten it all wrong.Did I do something I shouldn’t have?Why did she feel the need to lie to me for so long?And why on earth did it feel like everyone else knew except for me?“Scarlett, what did you say?” I proceeded to ask very slowly. “I said I am pregnant,” she repeated.“When did you find out?” I asked in the smallest of voices, I needed to know for how long I had been in the dark. It at least made sense to know for how long I have been in the dark and for how long she has been lying to me.“Aiden, do we have to have this conversation right now?” Scarlett asked with her eyes glistening with tears, she looked like she was about to cry and I didn’t know if I cared as much.I needed the truth and I needed to know how long
