Levi's POV

I pull into the garage and step out to open the door for Hailey. She fell asleep almost as soon as we started driving back.

I’d expected the conversation to continue, maybe even get to know each other a little more. Instead, things ended abruptly, and I let myself get too comfortable - making things awkward in the process.

I sigh and shake her shoulder lightly. "Hey, we’re here. Wake up."

She mumbles something incoherent, shifting to her side - then promptly smacks me in the face.

I huff, rubbing my jaw. "Hailey, we're home."

'Home.' Sounds kinda nice.

I've never seriously considered settling down - outside the pressure from my father - but I guess the thought of starting a family and having a home with someone I love, is strangely appealing.

She stirs slightly, her lashes fluttering open before her eyes squeeze shut again. "Go away, Jake," she mumbles, swatting at my hand.

I freeze.

'Jake.'

If I remember correctly, her mum mentioned the name th

  • Contract Marriage With My Ex's Boss   Ninety nine

    I turn just in time to see Levi enter the kitchen. He sees us at the table and stops, only inches away. His hand goes to the back of his neck, and he looks uncomfortable. "I'm stepping out." "Where are you going?" I ask, taking in his outfit of a black tank top and the same color of joggers. "For a run." My brows shoot up. I didn't know Levi did morning runs. Is it a new thing, or had I just failed to notice?"Won't you have breakfast or coffee first?" Martha asks quietly, like she's afraid the question might annoy him. My heart breaks for her. I wish she knew how nice her son is. This would've been easier for her. Levi's looks away, his jaw clenching for a second. But to his credit, he replies, "I don't take anything before my runs. But you can save some for me, I'll eat when I get back." My mouth twitches, and I lift my cup to my lips to hide my smile. While watching his mum interact with him is a bit heartbreaking, watching him try to talk to her, on the other hand, is qu

  • Contract Marriage With My Ex's Boss   Ninety eight

    Hailey's POV It's been an hour since we got back from the airport, and Levi's been unusually quiet. When he came into the house, he headed straight into his room, and he hasn't come out since then. Even when I went to check on him, he wouldn't tell me what's wrong—not that I expect him to—but I suspect it has something to do with his mum being around. I know his parents weren't there for him back then, and I'm sure it's hard for him to adjust now. His mum told me bits of how neglectful she'd been, and she'd expressed how badly she wanted to make things right with him, but she doesn't know how. She'd even asked my help during one of our calls, but I told her she should be the one to work it out with him because I didn't want to interfere. But in truth, I don't have the right to say anything to Levi. Even the little he's shared feels out of place, considering the circumstances surrounding our... marriage. Plus, after I'd confronted his dad that one time, I'd rather not risk my lu

    She turns, then gasps in surprise, almost dropping her phone. "I'll call you back," she says to whoever she was on the phone with, before returning the device to her handbag. Her eyes fill with tears as she steps closer. "Levi, son." From the corner of my eye, I notice Hailey stepping to the side, giving us space for our little reunion."Hi, mum," I repeat awkwardly, tucking my hands into my pockets. I really don't know what's supposed to happen next. Are we supposed to hug, wave, shake or?I'm saved from having to make any decision when her arms wrap around me, pulling me into a hug. It takes a moment, but I return the gesture, and she holds me even tighter. I wish I could say I do the same, but no. I keep my arms around her loosely. I really do want to be more affectionate toward her, but it'd just feel odd to me. Especially since I still remember one time when she'd pushed me away when I'd gone to hug her in front of clients. I was just a boy who was excited to see his mother

  • Contract Marriage With My Ex's Boss   Ninety six

    Levi's POV Let it be noted in the books that I did, in fact, keep to my side of the bed. But my Hailey, on the other hand? I'm almost led to assume she was a superhero in her dream or something. That seems like the only sensible reason why she moves so much in her sleep. Not only did she bring down the pillow wall and roll over to my side several times—I had to consciously push her over to her side—she also managed to push me to the edge of the bed, and like that wasn't enough, I woke up to her clinging to me like a fucking koala. I'm not complaining, but Christ. What kind of demons does she fight in her sleep? The sleeping position made me develop pains in my arms and legs, but I also suspect she'd kicked me more than once. The mother of my child is a ninja. I guess I should've figured it out from her violent tendencies. I'd love to say that our little sleepover was one of the best nights I've ever had, like in those romance novels, but that would be a fucking lie. "Ugh," Hai

    The question makes heat rise to my cheeks. Thankfully, my hands are covering my face, hiding my blush. "What kind of question is that?" I ask quickly. "Of course not. I'm not some sex crazed maniac.""But you assume I am?"I give a half-shrug. "Maybe."He chuckles. "I'm going to pull your hand away from your face now. Don't worry, you won't see anything you haven't seen before." Before I can answer, his hands cover mine and slowly pull them away from my face. I still keep my eyes shut. I don't know why I'm shy all of a sudden. It's not like I haven't seen his dick before. Only twice, though. But still, the image is implanted in my mind. A package like his isn't something to forget so easily. 'But a fresh memory would be good for you,' the naughty, traitorous part of my mind echoes. And actually, it would. So after very little thought, I open my eyes. They immediately flicker down to his crotch, and surprisingly, he's covered. Like he said. But why does the confirmation make me

  • Contract Marriage With My Ex's Boss   Ninety four

    Hailey's POVI watch as Levi opens the door and steps out. He speaks to whoever is on the other side for a moment, and when he walks back in, a man follows, dragging in a large, wide and thick object that barely squeezes through the doorway.He struggles to get it in, and once the first part makes it through, I finally realize what it is.A mattress.A new fucking mattress. I rise from the couch, going to meet them, but Levi sees me approaching and comes over. "What the hell, Levi? Tell me that's not what I think it is." He smirks. "Depends. What do you think it is?""Don't play dumb with me. You got a new mattress? Why?""Because I can."I glare at him.He chuckles, like he doesn't realize what a waste of money this is, and I'm sure he doesn't. He's got enough money to last him a lifetime, and apparently, doesn't know what to do with it. I'm not a stranger to wealth myself, but I'm sure I wouldn't want to waste money on something I don't need. "Hun," he says with a grin, "I've g
