Contract Marriage by Ashleh Queen (read e books online free txt) 📕

She was indeed tired and was knocked out in no time. On the other hand, Alex knew exactly what he was about to do.

Jane woke up after four long hours. It took her some time to realize where she was now. She didn't know what time it was but could easily see it was dark outside. Getting out of the bed she passed not so unfamiliar hallway.

she started walking to where the living area was and found Alex in a room above the living area with some other people. Almost four men and two women were sitting around a huge round table and listening to Alex. It seems like some professional meeting room with a transparent glass wall. But then she saw Alex looking at her. She noticed that he didn't excuse himself and left those people there without an explanation.

Looking at Jane, he was smiling broadly when he was coming down the stairs. Before Jane could understand anything he was kissing her. To balance herself she caught her shirt over his chest. Oh, God, we have company and he is kissing me. Jane felt embarrassed.

"You are fine, now?" Alex asked breaking the kiss and cupping her cheeks.

She felt like a little girl but nodded. She noticed that those people followed Alex too.

"Meet Diana and her team, she is an interior designer." Alex introduced those people and then said. "you might have figured that she is my wife I was talking about, Jane Black."

Jane sees that he look proud of introducing her like she was some trophy he had won but ignored.

"Hello, Jane, I can see now who changed our Black so much," Diana said the words her friend Alex told her to.

"Hello, Diana," Jane said as she blushed from the compliment.

Alex gave Diana an intent look, like telling her, thank you and looked at Jane. He could see his tricks were working. There is nothing that could change him but he knew if he wanted to enjoy this hot sex goddess for longer and to her fullest he had to put some effort. And he can't complain as making her fool was fun.

"Diana, you can leave the file here. I will talk to Jane about the designs and will let you know." Alex said, and they left after saying their formalities.

"Hey," He said gently holding her left cheek. "Go upstairs and get ready. We gotta leave for somewhere." He told her.

"Where?" She asked absent-mindedly. But then her gaze went to the file and she asked.

"What designs you were talking about?" Alex forward her the file having the designs for bedrooms and crashed on the couch. She was standing and looking at the designs but then look at Alex with a confused look. "Why are you designing a bedroom?" Jane asked and Alex pulled her to sit beside him.

"I think it's a great idea to start our journey in a room that we both design to our liking. So, tell me which one you like. We will go with that." Alex said the words while twirling a strand of her hair. Jane looked at him with some apprehension.

Diana came with fifteen designs. He already selected four. So, it didn't matter to him which one of those four designs Jane will choose.

"Come on, tell me about your favorite color?" Alex asked but he knew the ways to get her to his favorite color.

"White," She mumbled and Alex took her to another passionate kiss. Breaking the kiss he looked in her eyes and said. "You are beyond perfection."

She could sense that there was something different about his behavior but ignored and tried to get busy in looking at that file. All the designs were perfect but not anywhere near her liking. She would always prefer a room with a warm and homely touch. But all of the designs here were so fancy. But she chose not to speak her mind and selected a design that she found better than others. 

 "Wow, I liked this one too." He complimented looking at her and was leaning yet for another kiss when she leans back and stopped him by pushing his shoulders.

"Why are you preparing another room? I think yours fine." Jane asked. 
"No, the wardrobe has to be big. And the room I have chosen is perfect for two people." He replied.

She could see that he was taking matters beyond seven days. Because there was no way that room could be designed in these four days.

"Alex, in how many days they will arrange this room?" Her voice was tense and Alex could see where this talk was going. 
"I want everything perfect..." He said looking at her lips. ".... And to the details. So, It will take two weeks." He said holding her knee.

"But..." She tried to say something. 
"Can't you feel what I am feeling Jane?" He cuts her off. 
No, I can't feel a damn thing. Oh, God, where it's going. She cried in her brain and hurriedly shook her head in no.

"We are meant to be together," Alex said the words like he had made a groundbreaking discovery and Jane's jaw dropped.

"You do realize that we are so......... different." Jane tried to talk sense.

"And the opposite attracts," Alex said and Jane looked at his eyes. Tried to find any hint for the lies. Little did she know he was best at poker.

"Alex, I can't live with you," Jane whispered.

"Why? Don't you feel anything at all?" He said taking his hand from her knee to her thigh and she inhaled deeply.

"The only thing I feel about you is fear," Jane said, making Alex drop his face. She tried to think something that she could say to make him understand. "Alex, you are.....you are so....difficult. I,...I can't" 

"Relax, we can work on this. You are scared because I wanted you to be scared. And about being difficult. I believe that you got what it takes to live with me...........You must have figured out that you can seduce me to do anything. I hated kids but I agreed...." Jane let out a laugh and he stopped to look at her and then continued. "And I was so angry and hell-bent to spank you after you disrespected me but you made delicious food and BAM! you make me ate you instead," Alex said with a smile that Jane found quite creepy.
