Christina’s POV

I stood by the shelves, staring at all of my favorite books one last time. My heart was heavy with sadness but I didn’t let it affect my decision. I needed to regain control of my life, and it starts with what I’m about to do. I was tired of allowing Scott to push me around. My pride wouldn’t let me submit to a man who has no regards for me.

I stepped closer to the shelves, allowing my fingers to trace the books, copy after copy, as I moved along, until the end. Then my eyes landed on one of them that I hadn’t read. One that I’ve been longing to read for a long time now, and when I saw it on the shelves the very first day Scott had it installed, I was so excited to have a personal copy of my own, but sadly, I wouldn’t be able to read it now. My emotions moved me to reach for it and I did, unable to hold myself. My eyes danced around the cover and I turned it around, allowing myself the pleasure of reading just the synopsis but before I was done, a knock sounded on the

    Christina’s POV“W-what?” I rubbed at my eyes, a yawn escaping my lips as I was still at a loss of what was happening.“Don’t you dare play dumb with me, Christina. Why are your books in my bedroom, and the gadgets? What is this all about?”My hand that had been on my eyes dropped and a small frown marred my face. For a minute, I looked past him to my empty desk and then to the shelves but then reality suddenly crashed into me as I recalled I’d been patiently waiting for this moment before the comforting arms of sleep grabbed me.“Oh, that…” I finally responded, drawing in a deep breath. My eyes returned to him and I saw the anger on his face but I ignored it, responding with a dismissive tone. “I only returned the borrowed items,”I saw the moment his gaze darkened, and his heated eyes burned intently into mine, a vein ticking on his forehead but I made no move to cower under his gaze or try to explain further. When he realized he wasn’t getting anything out of me, he spoke.“And wha

    Scott’s POV My eyes raked over her scantily dressed body and for a moment, it almost seemed like a dream. With her robe pooled at her feet, she stood before her in her flimsy red lacy thong that left nothing to the imagination. My hungry eyes slowly moved from her feet to her thighs, tracing every inch of her sensual curves, up to her torso until they finally landed on her perky breaks. Although the room was dimly lit, my eyes could make out the tiny pale pink nipples, begging for attention and my mouth watered. My gaze was riveted on them, not wanting to move and I found myself licking my lips, unable to hold off the hunger that was brewing deep within me. Still, I forced my eyes to proceed until they finally landed on hers, locking on those deep pools of brown that held nothing but calmness and uncertainty. It wasn’t the expression I hoped to see, but it showed that something was off. If she gathered the nerves to do this, why was she uncertain? When I remained quiet, with my eyes

    Scott’s POVLong after she left, I laid in my bed, tossing from one side to the other, unable to find sleep. My gaze was on the door, the exact place she’d been when she’d first walked in. Memories of all she did, and how she slowly dropped her robe as though she was giving me a strip tease, filled my head. Even when I closed my eyes to find sleep, all I could see was her. It was as if I could feel her presence all around the room, and it wasn’t helping that my cock pulsed with every thought of her, heightening my arousal.It was a long painful night but eventually, I fell asleep, nearing the early hours of the morning. My sleep lasted for only about three hours before I was up again, ready to go to work. As I dressed up that morning, I couldn’t help but stare at my reflection in the mirror. My face was stoic with the annoyance of having a sleepless night, not to mention the blue balls she left me with. It was even more annoying to know that I was in this state all because of a woman

    Christina’s POVEven after he left, I kept staring at the door, still too stunned to speak. What just happened? That was the only question revolving around my head. It all felt like a dream, and I was having a hard time processing it. After all that happened the previous night, I didn’t expect to see him in my bedroom. I’d gone to him, offering myself up for my freedom and I’d hoped he’d grab me with open arms, and use me for his pleasure and initially, it had started that way, although he had a look of astonishment on his face. I couldn’t forget the way he kissed me like his life depended on it, and the way his hands roamed my body like he was trying to commit the moment to memory. When I’d walk into his bedroom to let him have his way with me, I’d convinced myself it was for the best and I’d regarded it as a job but I should have known my body wasn’t on board. With the way his hungry eyes ate me up the moment I let go of my robe, my nerve endings jerked to life, lighting my body

    Scott’s POV “The order has been placed and it’ll be delivered in the next few hours, Sir,” My assistant’s voice sailed into my ears through the office phone. “Good,” I returned the phone to its holder, ready to continue with work. After my call with Vincenzo, I immediately called her and asked her to buy a proper engagement ring for Christina. My grandfather had made me promise to be at his place this weekend, and I had to prepare for it. Vincenzo was a very smart man and the tricks that had worked for Aunt Eunice wouldn’t be working for him. I’d have to brief Christina on all she needs to know about him, so we could make our supposed union more believable. My gaze was still on the document I was reading through, with a pen in hand as I was required to sign if I was fine with the terms of the contract agreement. I was almost on the last page when my office door suddenly opened, and without bothering to raise my head, I addressed her, thinking she was my assistant, Lizzy. “That was

    Scott’s POVI stood there, still dumbfounded by her reaction. I had no idea what she was talking about and I was lost. Who was she referring to and who told her our deal was off?I gulped, trying to work my head around how she’d responded, and even her calm nature regarding the books and gadgets that I’d asked Adams to return. Could it be he told her something that made her reach the conclusion that our contract was over and she was no longer of importance to me?“Adams…” I called at the top of my voice, as I turned to exit the room with the ring in hand, expecting an explanation from my butler but then on my way out, my reflection caught my eyes in the mirror and I stopped, understanding sinking into me.My gaze was on the mark on the collar of my white dress shirt. It was Jenny's red lipstick and I didn’t need to ponder on how it got there. The devious woman had a plan all along and it was what Christina had seen to make her reach that conclusion.I balled my palms into fists, annoy

    Christina’s POVThe warm heat of the body pressed against mine made me subconsciously snuggle closer in comfort, a sigh falling from my lips. It felt so warm and fuzzy and it smelled so good that I nuzzled closer, drawing in a deep breath as I tried to stay in this sleepy haze for as long as I could but my body had other plans, as the sleep began slowly clearing away. My eyes slid open to see the room was dimly lit by the light of the moon streaming in through the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows.At first, a yawn slipped from my lips and I tried to stretch my limbs, still oblivious to my environment but then I noticed the arm that was wound tightly around my torso, holding me firmly but protectively in place. As if I’d just begun to regain proper consciousness, his soft almost silent snores streamed into my ears and my eyes sought him out.My gaze landed on his peaceful face and I suddenly jerked to a sitting position, not finding that I might disrupt his peaceful slumber.

I need them to handle a personal matter,”“What is it, Sir?”“I’d like all news and speculations regarding my relationship with Ms. Christina Bells out of the media and all tabloids, except that of our engagement and impending marriage. I also want all news regarding her personal life out of the media. Tell them I want them to do whatever they can to clean up the mess, and if any of the sources fail to comply, sue them for defamation,”“Alright, Sir. I’ll get to it immediately,”“You may go, and please get me a dose of my morning coffee before you get to it,”She nodded curtly and turned on her heels, exiting the door. I sagged against my chair and released a deep breath, the image of Christina pretending to be asleep while I was in her bedroom that morning, still floating over my head.

    Scott’s POVThe trees and scenery around us passed in a blur as we sped down the forest road that led to Vincenzo’s home. As soon as he’d told us how to exit the property, I’d carried Christina in my arms and sped down the hallway, ready to evacuate the premises without second thoughts, or even a glance back at the unfolding chaos. At that moment, it was as though I had just one mission to take Christina to safety. Just as Vincenzo had said, the car was waiting at the back, with the engine running, and the doors opened. We got in and the driver took to the wheels, speeding out of the compound. Behind us, was another of Vincenzo’s security detail, to keep us safe.Christina was sitting across from me but I still couldn’t look at her, for fear that I might find an injury or even as little as a bruise that would show she was hurt, and bring back the ugly reality of what could have happened, if we had been just a minute late.My hand that was holding hers gripped it tightly, unwilling to

    Christina’s POVTen minutes earlierI stepped out of the stall, ready to head back to the party, despite my nerves still reeling from the embarrassment of the little show Scott and I had unintentionally put on for the audience. A wry smile crossed my face as I stared at the mirror while washing my hands. My makeup was still in place and so was my hair. I playfully winked at myself and turned away, ready to head back but before I could take a step, soft moans of pleasure sailed into my ears and I was frozen in place.I stood there, silently hoping I’d heard wrong but then they came again, this time a bit louder, followed by a throaty moan. My head instantly whipped in the direction they were coming from, the first stall. It was five stalls away from where I was but that didn’t stop their moans from reaching me. I couldn’t help the giggle that slipped out of my lips but I quickly slapped a palm over my mouth to not alert them of my presence.It felt like I was in high school all over ag

    Scott’s POVI took her soft lips in mine, not caring about the gloss nor the red tint of her lipstick that would stain my lips. All I wanted was to have a taste of her, to feel her warm body in my arms, the way she holds on to me like she’s holding on for dear life, while she melts into the kiss. It’s purely magical. By the time we pulled apart, she was breathless, heaving with her soft eyes fixed on mine. They were mesmerizing and I just couldn’t look away. We stood in that position, staring at each other, with one of my arms wound tightly around her slender waist, and the other resting on the nape of her neck.Her eyes darted to my lips and she chuckled lightly.“I’ll leave that as a mark to let the ladies know you’re taken,” She grinned, with gleaming eyes and I smiled, indulging her.“And I wouldn’t mind wearing your mark, my love,” I winked at her before I leaned down to claim her lips one more time.This time, a knock interrupted us, followed by the words of one of the maids.“S

    Christina’s POVI woke up to a strong arm wrapped around my waist and the heat of his warm body sipping into mine. At first, I felt a bit lost until all the previous night's events began flooding into my head and I realized what I’d done. I’d given in to my desires at long last. I’d given myself to him just like he’d predicted and I’d done it without caution. I’d willingly let him plant his seed in me.With so many thoughts crowding my head all at the same time, all I wanted was to bolt out of bed and be far away from him. I needed to handle this. I had no idea what to do. Was this even in the plans? I allowed pleasure to blur the lines between what I truly wanted, my plans to escape, and giving into this sick plan of his with my father. My heart squeezed painfully at the thoughts of giving up and playing into this sick fantasy.What was wrong with me?I was only meant to put up an act for the weekend and I let him get the best of me. Now he’d be able to mock me with it. Bile rose in

    Christina’s POVIt happened so fast that before I could comprehend what was going on, he’d caged me to the sink with his body pressed tightly to mine and his lips on mine. His eyes were closed with an expression of ecstasy etched on his face, as he kept kissing me. When he noticed I wasn’t returning his kisses, his eyes finally opened, and they met with mine, staring into them with his lips slightly parted, and his chest heaving from his almost silent pants.I could see the question in his eyes, and the look in them was enough to melt all of my remaining barriers. But not just that. There was something about his expression that I couldn’t put my hands on but it mirrored a deep hunger and need, one that needed to be sated urgently and the realization that it was all for me, had my lower abdomen twisting and curling with want. He looked messy but yummy at the same time, and all I wanted was to get my hands on him.He may have seen something else in my eyes from my silence because when

    Christina’s POV“I’m sorry I made you feel that way,” His eyes burrowed into mine as he said the words and I could see the sincerity in them. Deep down, I truly wished he was being genuine this time. He reached for my palm that was resting on the bench and covered it with his. “I’m willing to work on myself to make things work, if you can give me another chance,”“This would be the last,” I tried to sound stern just to get him to understand and see that I wasn’t playing around.“Thank you, my lady,” He mimicked a slight bow and a smile slipped onto my face.Since our arrival, I’m beginning to see that he had a wholesome personality when he wasn’t being an asshole. So yes, maybe we could make things work and I had a good feeling about this one.“Wanna see something else?” a wry grin stretched his lips, and I narrowed my eyes at him, wondering what else there is to see in this property. It seemed we were already at the end and it definitely couldn’t get bigger than this, could it? He r

    Scott’s POVI rose to my feet, took her arm in mine and led her to my side. I proceeded to plant a kiss on her temple, while still smiling. For a second, she stilled, but glanced at me with a questioning look in her eyes.“If I’d known horses would make you this happy, I’d have gotten some and built you a stable from the very first day,”She rolled her eyes as though she was calling my words a bluff and I had the slightest urge to spank her ripe ass and I did just that, feeling its softness in my arms but she gasped in shock but didn’t make any move to step away. Instead, she glanced around with widened eyes, lips popped open in surprise and a deep crimson colour of mortification on her cheeks.“You…” She tried scolding me but I winked at her and linked my fingers to her as I started towards the main building.“Where… I thought you’d take me to the stables…” she objected, refusing to move but I turned to explain.“Unless you don’t mind me reeking of dried sweat, then I’d suggest you l

    Scott’s POVMy eyes are fixed on Vincenzo and Christina as I watch how well they converse like they’ve known each other forever. She does it with such ease that it leaves me wondering if I’d misjudged her in the past, regarding the case of her relations with her personal guard, Dexter, and my step-brother, Marvin. Watching her with my grandfather has made me realize she’s a natural when it comes to effortlessly relating with people. It is more like an inborn skill but it seems she lacks it when it comes to me.I nodded my head at something Vincenzo directed at me in the course of their conversation but I paid no mind to what he actually said. Thoughts of my strained relationship with Christina were all I could think about. She’s never been as kind to me with words as she’s been with others. Whenever she had to address me, there was always an air of hostility about her that kept me at bay. Although it seemed to have toned down a bit since our visit to Vincenzo, I wasn’t a fool. I under

    Christina’s POV “Would you like me to help you out?” The moment I heard those words, a little gasp of surprise fled my lips and my stomach curled, causing my pussy to pulse. I wasn’t expecting him to say that. All I’d expected was a mockery for touching myself. I had expected him to make it all about himself or even make me feel less of myself but that deep guttural voice that had uttered those sinful words was far from mockery. His palm that was still on my lower stomach pressed down slightly but firmly, not moving away. It only intensified the pleasurable sensations swirling through me, and I let out a shaky breath, unsure of what to do. I was too mortified to give him an answer to his question. It felt as if I’d die if I should let him see me this way but then when I remained quiet, he spoke again. “Come on, little fairy, you want it, don’t you?” His voice was low but still audible and this time, his palm traveled downwards, resting just at the top of my core.
