“what?” She turned to him
“I’ll pay you” he said
“After quitting your job as my secretary, I’m sure you are low on cash because you haven’t gotten another job” he said
Annoyingly, he was right. She hadn’t gotten another job and she had spent quarter of her savings. She didn’t know when she would have time to get another job because of her sudden pregnancy. But what was he trying to say?
“You don’t have to stay shackled to this marriage for long. We’ll be married for just three years until the baby is grown. It’ll be a contract marriage”
Contract marriage? Luke was offering to pay her to be married to him? She gaped at him as she tried to wrap her head around what he just said.
“You don’t have to give me an answer immediately. Think about it. Think about our child”
*****************
Allie paced around outside the gate of Luke’s house. She couldn’t bring herself to leave just yet.
It was an irresistible offer. She weighed her options. She didn’t want to see Luke again so she could decline the offer and hustle on her own.
But if she accepted the offer she’d be getting;
– a luxury lifestyle
– paid every month
– her child will have the love of both parents
– and she’d be getting free access to Luke’s body, which she really craved for.
Her heels turned and before she knew it, she was knocking on Luke’s door.
“That was quick” Luke said after he allowed her in.
“Have you thought about it?”
“Yes ” she met his gaze with finality “and I’ve decided to marry you ”
He grinned. A breath taking grin that made her heart flutter even if she didn’t want to.
“Right. I’ll call my lawyer to arrange the contract documents. But first, I have to do this” he said
“What do you have to –”
Luke smashed his mouth on hers and kissed her senseless.
Before she knew it, he was carrying her upstairs to his room but she didn’t care because she wanted him too much.
They quickly shed their clothes
and she wound her arms around his body, leaning into him, her nakedness thrilling him to the core. Her breasts were soft and warm against his chest, her lower body flush against his. She planted a kiss to his lips, a barely touching, teasing kiss that only ramped up his desire for more.
Luke pulled away just long enough to step out of the rest of his clothes, including his loafers. He could sense her eyes moving over every inch of him, and he waited with bated breath for her to touch him. The anticipation was intense. His body was poised, thick with blood, with pounding need, and his heart was hammering like a piston, his breathing increasingly ragged. Had he ever been this turned on before? Had anyone got him so worked up? Was it because of who she was? Someone he had known for a long time?
Someone he could no longer ignore.
He couldn’t see her clearly, but he could feel every sweet curve of her body. He could feel the silky texture of her skin and how it sent searing heat through his own. How could he have thought he’d be able to resist her touch? How could he have thought he had a hope of keeping his physical distance when his body craved her like a drug?
But he could still keep his emotional distance-just as he always did in his flings. He assured himself that this fling with Allie would be no different, even though a tiny corner of his mind beeped a tiny warning sound…
He ignored it.
Allie placed her hand on the middle of his chest, then slowly, achingly, torturously slowly, sent it down lower, lower, lower… until it was just above his groin.
“You’re so… big…” There was a note of awe in her voice.
“I’ll take things slowly if you’re nervous.”
‘I’m not nervous,’ she said, wrapping her hand around his tight length. “I’m excited.”
Luke shuddered at her electrifying touch. Her soft hand moved up and down, her finger rolling over the head of his erection where pre-ejaculatory fluid oozed.
“Condom.” His voice came out hoarse, as if his tonsils had been filed with a blacksmith’s rasp. “I need a condom.”
“Where are they?”
“In my wallet.”
Where the hell had he put his wallet? His mind was suddenly blank. He was so aroused there wasn’t enough blood going to his brain to get it to function.
“I’ve found it.” Allie moved to the bedside table and he heard her take a condom from his wallet, and then the soft thud as she dropped the wallet back on the table. “Here we go.”
She came back to him and pressed the tiny packet into his hand.
“Why don’t you put it on me?”
“Okay…”
He could imagine her biting down on her lower lip in concentration. He listened as she opened the packet, and then shivered in delight as she rolled the condom over him.
Luke pulled her close and clamped his lips down on hers, gliding his tongue through her lips to tango with hers in a sexy duel that sent his senses into overdrive. His cupped her neat bottom with his hands, guiding her womanhood against his erection, wanting her so fiercely it was like a fever in his blood.
He finally lifted his mouth off hers, his breathing heavy. He took her hand and pulled her down to the bed. Once she was lying there he came down beside her, balancing his weight on one elbow, his other hand caressing her left breast.
That tiny beep-beep-beepin the dark corner of his mind sounded again. Get physically close, not emotionally close. But it was hard to keep his emotional distance with Allie. She got under his guard like smoke under a locked door and he’d once loved her.
“Are you nervous?” The twin chord of concern and surprise in her soft voice made something in his chest contract.
“No, baby” he said and he slid deep into her.
Ah, this was what it was all about.
She hugged his rugged body and learned the dip in his spine and the shape of his buttocks. His tense muscles flexed as he retreated from her depths, pulling strings of sensations through her: echoes of sting, loss, but delicious friction, too. He smoothly filled her again, his big body trembling with strain as he controlled his movements. The smart was still there, but the pleasure was incredible.
Purring, she lifted her hips to his, clasping him with her inner muscles, kissing him with extravagant joy, telling him she loved everything he was doing to her.
For a second, he let her feel his full weight, the full power of his muscles as he caged her beneath him and pressed a hard, hungry kiss on her. The fingers tangled in her hair pulled again, and he held himself in stark possession of her. She could swear she felt him pulsing deep inside her.
Then his fingers massaged her scalp and he lifted slightly, withdrew and slowly began to thrust again.
“Faster! Go faster!” She cried in pure ecstacy
Their lovemaking grew better and better, driving her up the scale of passion to exquisite heights. When he ran his hand up the bare thigh that bracketed his hip, and branded her buttock with his palm, lifting her into his quickening thrusts, she moaned in approval, needing that faster pace, that wild stimulation.
Climax arrived suddenly and more powerfully than the first. She clawed at him, stunned by the release, fixated by the intense sensation of his fullness inside her while she orgasmed. “Allie!” He cried out raggedly and shuddered over her and within her, pushing to take deep possession of her, holding them both on that place of ecstatic perfection.
She’s lost count of how many rounds they did before they slept.
