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

Jane could hear the birds chirping and,.... and slurping. And the next thing she felt was someone sucking on her left nipple. Opening her eyes she found Alex over her. She couldn't see him because he was under the sheets but his strong thighs pinning her was enough to tell her that it's Alex.

She decided to remain silent but when he started biting her bud, a moan escaped her throat. Her moan was followed by the Alex coming out to take her lips.

"Good morning," Alex's voice came out husky. She looked around to find only a little light.

"It's quite early. Why are... " She stopped, looking at his eyes. There was something in his eyes that she couldn't decipher.

"Alex," She called looking into his eyes. In reply, he gives a peck on her lips before straightening between her legs. The moment he spread her for him she inhaled deeply. The moment she noticed a sly smile on his face, redness crept to her cheeks. Somehow his smile had the meanings that made her uncomfortable.

He didn't take much time and thrust himself in her. Making her neck tilt and eyes go all white. Her thoughts were clouded as all she could feel was him right now. The moment he went with his speed she started getting out of breath. She looked at him and found him leaning closer. So, she hurriedly placed her palm on his chest. But the moment she found a ring in her finger, last night memories start coming in bits.

OMG, what I just did? She thought as he came close and was trying to take a gulp of air when he came inside her.

"Alex," she took a breath. 
"What did you decide?" He asked and came over her to nibble the skin over her neck. 
"About what?" Jane replied with confusion. 
"You are staying with me. Right?" He asked and bit her skin over the neck that made Jane pull his hair as she tilts her neck even more.

It made her quite uncomfortable. She was naked under him. And had her legs spread for him. It was definitely not the time she would like to discuss such things. So, she stayed silent, biting her lower lip. But then he starts stroking her again. Taking her by surprise.

"Tell me,...." He said again but only retrieved a moan from her. "I will take it as yes then,..." He tried to say something else but was cut off when Jane said, "You said I have four dayyyyss......" She tried to say but moaned out the last word.

"Come on, Jane, you know I don't like to wait." He said, but she remained silent.

When he didn't get any response out of her he said getting off her, "Dress up, we gotta leave." She felt relieved for a moment but she could sense the tension in the air. The morning air was rich with the fragrance of soil and sea. After dressing up they left following the same way back.

On the drive, it was even worse. She could sense that Alex is not in a good mood. But there was no way she can say that she will live with him.

She steals a glance at him. I don't think I feel home with this person. Omg, I don't think anybody can feel home with this person. She thought. But then she looked at her finger where a beautiful ring was shining.

Oh no, this is so mean of you, Jane. This person might have bought this ring with so much affection and you are having second thoughts after clearly telling him that you will give this relation a try. She huffed in frustration as her inner war was not getting any result.

"You are thinking about something," Alex asked with a half-smile. 
"Nothing," She replied with a smile. 
"You are hungry? We can stop by one of my restaurants." Alex told her. But somehow Jane felt that he is trying to brag out but she dismissed the thought thinking why would he?

"Can we stop by foodies then?" Jane asked. 
"Where's foodies?" Alex asked with confusion.
"It's only a street across from my apartment," Jane replied. 
"Okay, then," Alex replied. 
Maybe I am exaggerating. He looks fine, now.

"Alex, my luggage,.... I would appreciate if I could get it back." She requested.

"Oh! Do you want it? I forgot about it. They might have confiscated because of your sudden leave." He stopped to take a turn and said. "Don't worry, I will send someone."

"Thank you," Jane whispered. 
"Anything for Mrs. Black. All you need to do is ask me." He said looking at her mischievously.

He pulled in front of the diner. There was no great parking. And it took them ten minutes. "Next time, we are not going anywhere you suggest," Alex said and though Jane tries to tell her that she shouldn't be affected by such comment, her heart breaks a little.

"I thought all I had to do is ask?" She tried to remind him.

"Come on, it doesn't mean I can't have my say. This clearly is a very small place." Alex complained, with a little frustration.

He was realizing that he doesn't like when she had better comebacks than him. Come on, Alex, all you have to wait for her Yes. That one magical word.

And this made him smile. Never in his life, he had thought that he will work for a yes. "Let's do it." He whispered to himself once he came at Jane's side to open the door for her.

They made their way inside and Jane went to her usual place beside the window. The waitress came by to take the orders but instead start ogling at Alex. Jane, remembered that she never even once said hello to her.
