All Chapters of The Trillionaire's Contractual Bride: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

ASHER“I told you that dropping me off at work wasn't necessary,” she said, raising an eyebrow at me in question. Her expression was slightly puzzled. I was disappointed when we finally stepped in front of the tower. The more time that I spent with her. The more that I realized that I didn't exactly want to let her out of my sight. And yet I knew she had a lot of things to attend to today. Staying home wouldn't be an option for her. There would be possibly no way that I could convince her. No way at all. This morning I wanted to devour her right on the spot. I don't know if she had intended to, but her subtle flirting had awakened a certain kind of warmth that dug deep at the pit of my stomach. It was becoming a difficult task to resist from claiming her lips as the days went by. “Are you even listening to me?” She scoffed. I blinked. My attention was immediately reverted back to her. I hope she couldn't tell what it was that I was thinking.“You were not listening to me, were you?”

CLAIREMy gaze traveled over to the blonde-haired guy that stood at the doorway. My cheeks flushed with color as soon as I realized we had an audience. He observed the both of us with a smirk that he didn't bother to hide. His eyes lingered on me for a little longer than necessary, and I felt uncomfortable. “It's hard to believe that my best friend would get married before me,” he said. The tone of his voice was a mixture of amusement and awe. My brows furrowed, and I shot Asher a look. “You have a best friend? I didn't know that.” I stared at him in wonder. He looked almost... shy? As he averted my gaze for a brief moment. "Oh, so you never talked about me with your wife. Now I feel insulted, Asher,” he said. “What were you expecting when you thought it was completely okay to abscond and relocate to fucking Paris without letting me know?” Asher raised an eyebrow at him. “But that's a little bit too far for revenge. Don't you think so?” He said it dryly and then stretched his han

CLAIREGet your mind out of the gutter, Claire. But somehow the task seemed impossible. My eyes kept traveling towards the sight of Asher's bare torso. I didn't know that the sight would affect me so intensely. I closed my head and sighed. I needed to regain whatever composure I could gather. It suddenly felt so hot here. Was it a little hot? Was I going to pass out from the intensity of the moment? I could already feel the panic that was beginning to well up in my chest. Was it because I was so close to him? Was it because he was looking at me like that?“Are you okay? You've been looking like you've seen a ghost for over ten minutes,” he said, and my attention suddenly reverted back to his gaze instead of his chest. Shameless, Claire. Shameless. You're acting like some love-sick high school girl. When it came to Asher. I didn't exactly know what else to do anymore. “I was just lost in thought for a while. Nothing too major,” I said. “Are you going to tell me?”“About?”“About wh

CLAIREMy heart pounded frantically within my ribcage as Asher fingers drove in and out of my core. The words coming out of my mouth were jumbled up together and meaningless. I knew it was gibberish mixed with a repetition of Asher's name. He whispered from dirty promises as he effortlessly delivered mind-wrecking pleasure with his fingers.I tried to recover, but it wasn't easy; it was almost impossible. Especially when his hands were all over me. My thoughts were as jumbled up together as the words in my mouth. I should have known that this moment was going to happen between us, but eventually. There was already too much chemistry between us.The sexual tension was becoming difficult to ignore with each day that passed by. I didn't want this moment to end. I wanted many other moments like this. I wanted to feel. I needed to feel like this every day. I paused as I felt myself heading towards the brink of release.My grip tightened on Asher's shoulders as I tried to steady myself. Ev

ASHER I don't have a reason while I've seen smiling like an idiot. I just know that my chest didn't feel heavy. Heck. I can't even remember the last time I felt sick. I can't remember the last time I went for a checkup. I didn't see the need to. Besides, no checkups meant no more bad news from the doctor.It was almost as if Claire came in and suddenly everything was better. I couldn't go a second without thinking of an elaborate way to make her happy. Tonight I was thinking about surprising her with a candlelit dinner. We've been having dinner at home, and I wanted it to be different. You're just using it as a cover-up to see her in a dress. I didn't bother denying it. I was completely and utterly infatuated. I settled in the office ten minutes later before my assistant walked in. “You have a meeting scheduled for today,” she said. I could tell she was anxious from the way she twisted her fingers nervously. I looked at the file on my desk and realized that I've missed four meetin
