What difference does one night make?” Peter smirked. “That’s what we are trying to say as well, Xandy boy. You both are practically attached at the hips. What difference does it make if you two don’t see each other for one night. Can’t go one day without sleeping with your bride?” Grandpa struck his calf with his cane, making the idiot hop around on one leg cursing. “I said sleep. As in sleep sleep. Get your head out of the gutter, old man!” He bellowed. Grandpa scoffed. “I know exactly what you meant, you little shit. Wait till Xandy settles down, my next target is you. I am going to get both of you unbroken stallions chained up.” I rolled my eyes again. My grandfather was talki
_________..."Oomph!" I whipped around to glare at whoever had punched me between my shoulder blades.My grimace turned into a grin when I saw that it was none other than my good old friend, Victor Martins."Victor, my man!" I grabbed him by his shoulders.He grinned back. "Never thought I would see the day when my friend would settle down. But here we are, at his rehearsal dinner. Of course, I won't completely believe it until I see you say 'I do'."I rolled my eyes.Peter came forward to fist-bump Victor and then wiggled his eyebrows at me. "Oh no no no, this is official, my man. Xander King is whipped for real, this time."I wanted to punch him and say the same thing I have been saying for years - 'There is no settling down for Xander King.' But I suppose I could not do it at my own rehearsal dinner, with my bride at the other end of the room, looking thoroughly fucked and glowing."Honestly man, did you knock her up? Is that it?" Victor whispered.I knew I could not sell the 'c
||||||||"I always thought that you and Dave were endgame." I paused tying the bow for my brother. "I also thought for a moment there that you were marrying Xander because of me, because of some deal that the two of you had struck up to save my ass."I tried to remain as passive as I could. My brother, despite being a genius, had the emotional range of a caterpillar. There was no way he could call my lie. But that did not mean that I would be arrogant enough to play right into his hands."And now your notion has changed?" I asked him as I fixed his tie and stepped back, running my palms down his suit to brush out the non-existent creases. I smiled up at him, "You look so handsome, Skylar Sterling.""I would never come close to in terms of looks, Riv." He winked and his expression became somber again. "And yes, I have changed my notion."I quirked an eyebrow. "And why is that?" I asked, sounding as playful as I could with all the knots in my stomach."You look happy with him." He smile
||||||||I winced as I dragged my wobbly legs to the kitchen.Maybe sex with Xander was a bad idea.He was a insatiable beast in bed and it was starting to take its toll on me. Maybe I should talk to him about limiting it to three times a day.I was about to grab a mug from the cabinet when Edward walked in, his nose crinkled at the sight of me, as if I was some cockroach flying about in his pristine kitchen."What?" I yawned as I walked over to the coffee maker with the ceramic."There's three days to your wedding and you are going to work?" He asked."Yes, I have a job to do, Edward. And don't worry, I'll be back in time to get ready for the rehearsal dinner." I told him, pouring myself a steaming cup of coffee."Is Mr. King going to work?"I shook my head. "Nope.""What is your job there if your Boss isn't there?" Edward asked, his voice laced with sarcasm as he folded a napkin into a fancy bird-like shape."Practicing to impress people at the rehearsal, Edward?" I was not going to
|||||||"Both Parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of this arrangement and shall not disclose the nature of this Contract to any third party," I scooped some lasagna into my mouth as Xander glared at the file."What?" I asked with my mouth full."Unless required by law." He completed.I rolled my eyes."That is common sense, Xander." I told him.He directed his glare at me. "Xandy, babe. If you call me anything but Xandy again, I will go ahead with the punishment I have thought for you."I gave him a flat look. "Fine, Xandy." He seemed content with my answer, "Unless required otherwise at work." I gave him a smug smile while he narrowed his eyes at me."Alright, moving on..." He took a bite of his food. "That asshole may be the worst thing that happened to this apartment but at least he can cook."I agreed with him.Edward had magic hands."The Parties agree to present themselves as a legitimate married couple in public and to family, friends, and acquaintances. Both Parties
|||||||"Where is Mr. King?"I groaned internally when I heard the annoying man's voice as soon as I entered the penthouse."In my purse. Why? You wanna take him out on a walk?" I asked as I rolled my eyes, kicking off my work heels without waiting to get to the bedroom.I was a neat person but I was also messy by default, which meant that I was going to come put them in the right place later.Edward huffed as he walked over to my shoes."What are you doing?" I asked him."What does it look like, Miss Sterling?" Edward replied, his tone as snarky as ever. "I am taking care of the residence I have been put in charge."I rolled my eyes."I live here." I told him.Well, maybe I should not get ahead of myself and pretend to be the lady of the house when all of this was a farce. But it gave me immense satisfaction to mess with this bitch.He gave me a smug look. Huh? What was that for?"What?" I asked.Edward leaned in close, his voice a whisper. "How long do you think this is going to g
||||||||"Damn, man!" Peter would not shut up. "I have never seen Xander King so jealous or so out of it before!" He told our friend George Thompson.I scowled at him but said nothing. I was not jealous.I was acting.It was just how men were supposed to act when their females were being hounded by assholes.George chuckled. "Oh well, we all knew the day was coming.""Yeah!" Dane appeared out of nowhere, one of the hostesses in his arm. "We are just surprised it took this long!"I glared at him but he did not have the decency to look away or look guilty.The man was married with three kids, fourth one on the way. And yet, he was here, at George's bachelor party, with his hand on a hostess's waist. His wife, Riley, was nothing special. But she did not deserve this.I was, by no means, a one-woman man. But I had accepted it and I had embraced it, which was exactly why I was not interested in marriage in the first place. I was no cheat - I did not vow to be there forever and then put my
||||||||I stared at my reflection in the mirror.Love bites peppered from my jaw to my breasts like rose petals, my core still throbbed from the passion last night and my legs felt like Jell-O.But my eyes... They were a storm.A mix of irritation, confusion and frustration.Now I knew why women were the way they were with Xander.The man knew how to worship every inch of a woman's body.He had taken his sweet time, kissing and licking his way down from my mouth to my neck, over my collarbone, across my breasts, down my stomach, and finally settling between my thighs.I shook my head.I needed to get those thoughts out of my mind."You okay?" Xander's voice was deep and sleepy, and it sent shivers down my spine.He was naked, and magnificent - god-like."Yeah," I replied, not taking my eyes off the mirror."You don't sound like it," Xander said, his voice closer now. He dipped his head to place a kiss on my exposed shoulder. I suppressed a moan when he licked off the water droplets d
|||||||||||"Now, get on your knees, on the floor." My wife-to-be, much to the satisfaction of my male ego, seemed to be in too much of a daze as she stared at my cock, that she did not really comprehend what I had told her to do.I stepped closer, the tip of my thumb brushing against her cheek. "I said, get on your knees, River."Her pupils dilated as she finally snapped out of her trance.She blinked, then swallowed hard."On...on the floor?" Her voice was a squeak.I nodded, the corners of my lips curling up into a smirk. "Yes, on the floor, wifey."Her eyes narrowed at the pet name, but she complied nevertheless, sliding off the bed and dropping to her knees.Her skirt hiked up slightly, exposing those creamy thighs.My cock throbbed in response.I stepped closer to her, my hand tangling in her hair, undoing her bun, and pulling her face closer to my groin."Good girl," I murmured, feeling the heat from her rapid breathing on my skin.Her lips parted slightly, and she licked her
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||I flinched when I heard something being broken inside that stupid CEO's office.I sighed as I contemplated if I wanted to walk in on their row right now.The PR team had fucked up some promo and my Neanderthalic boss, who had absolutely no control over his temper, was throwing a fit.I did not want to be a part of that shitshow.The intercom crackled to life.So much for that wish."Sterling, in my office."I wetted my lip as I got up, the Satan's voice making my hair stand up on ends."Yes, Mr. King."Ugh, why did rich assholes have to have such fancy names as well?He was more of a Mr. Dixon than a Mr. King.I took a deep breath, steeled myself, and walked to the oak double doors, pushing it open.I hissed at the battered laptop which lay right in front of my feet.My brother, at college, was struggling to get his seven-year-old hand-me-down laptop fixed and here, my boss had just flung a brand new MacBook across the office. Again."Ever hea...
