ALEXANDER'S POV
10:05pmThe room had grown dark and was only illuminated by the white light at the center. I had returned to the room to continue with the drafts of the contract agreement after breakfast and only took breaks in between when my brain felt overworked.I pushed the chair backwards and stretched myself as I rose to my feet. I checked my phone for any notification, maybe one from Ashley. There was none. I doubt if she has a phone cause I haven't noticed anyone on her since we got married.I was hungry as I've not had anything since the morning coffee. My stomach growled in approval and I ambled towards the door. I took the elevator downstairs which opened directly into the living room.Ashley lay sprawled on the couch, her hair disheveled and tiny strands covered her face. The television was still on and tuned in to CNN news channel, a plate filled with crumbs of brown bread and scrambled eggs sits close to her legs.I picked the plate, dropped it on the center table and turned to snake my arms around her. She felt so light like I would crush her if I used all bones in my hand. I slowly carried her into the bedroom, adjusting my eyes to the dark I placed her carefully on the bed.Ashley stirred restlessly in her sleep and mumbled something inaudible. I turned her over and remove my arms underneath her. Her fingers brushed my chest as she stirred again.She was still fully clothed in her yellow dress and a bra underneath, and her lips still held its red color in place. I leaned in to touch her lips with mine when I felt her hand on my back.“Alex,” she called dreamily. “I'm sorry I fell asleep waiting for you.”A pang of guilt shot through me that instant. She had waited for me all day, but I had only kept her waiting while I soaked myself in office duties. I hadn't even done a good job of telling her where I was.“I'm sorry I kept you waiting, baby.” I whispered as I stroked the strands of her hair.My body was still held in place with her tiny hand but I made no move to get up. I could see her nipples grow taut against the thin fabric she wore. Her knees rustled against the fly of my jean, her lips parted slowly. I took that as an invitation and pressed my lips to hers.Ashley opened her eyes in surprise.“I meant every word I said about being sorry, little angel. I'll leave you to catch some sleep.”“Stay with me,” She pleaded. Her voice was soft in the silence between us, our breathing calm and steady.Ashley slowly reached up and touched the tips of her fingers to my face. She tilted her face and squirmed underneath my grip, pressing her core to my cock which was now hard inside the jean.A soft gasp escaped her lips. Ashley wasn't sure how I'd react to that. I guess she never got the chance to fully express herself while growing up. Especially with the kind of mother she had. There's so much fire and determination in her she's not aware of.Maybe I could be her guide to free it all.“I'm sorry,” she whispered softly, turning her face away from me.“Shhhh…” I cupped her chin and turned her face back to mine. “Is this what you want l, Ashley?”She licked her lips and her fingers toyed with the satin sheets. “Is it okay to want it?”“I want you to do something for me, Ashley?”“What's that?”“Stop asking for permission before you take what you want. You're a Jordan and we Jordans answer to no one.”Ashley paused just long enough for my words to register. She moved her lips to say something, but I silenced her with a kiss.“Now, show me what you want.”Ashley wrapped her arms around my neck, crushing our lips with so much force I struggled to catch my breath. I pulled my head back after the kiss ended and refrained from forcing out a laugh when she buried her face in my chest.My little angel was shy but had taken what she wanted.I smiled and inched my face closer to hers, crushing her lips in another breathtaking kiss. My mouth devoured hers completely this time wanting more, taking it and leaving no stone unturned. Her body moved under me, fitting perfectly against me. My hormones screamed within me and I'm suddenly ravenous. A kiss wouldn't do to satisfy the hunger that welled up in me. I wanted to know the taste of her wetness when I licked and the sound of her pleasure moans. I also wanted to stoke the fire in her and see how bright it burned beneath the surface. Ashley's unlocked something in me, a primal lust not even the women in my past were able to dig up. And now, all I want is to fulfill my promise of pleasure to her.I carried her in my arms, kicking the foot mat aside as I lifted her from the bed. Her tiny hands are insatiable, pressing at my neck. Our lips, locked in a kiss, never separates as I placed her carefully against the wall.We moved in a perfect rhythm. She undoes the button of my jean with one hand and practically pulled at my shirt with the other, sending buttons flying around us. I reached around and undo the zipper of her gown, quickly sliding the delicate straps over the smooth curve of her shoulders.Ashley stood before me in a matching pair of black lace thongs and a bra. She sucked in a deep breath as I trailed the tip of my tongue over her skin, tasting her as I went.“Alex…” she moaned and tilted her head back in surrender.I unclasped her bra from its hook letting it slide to the floor, and slide a finger into her black thong. A faint gasp escaped her lips as my fingers played with the tiny hairs around her core. My body ached with an insatiable hunger for her, my cock screamed its release as I slid a finger into her.Fuck!She was dripping wet and… tight.“You're tight, Ashley.” I mumbled, barely holding one to the last thread of discipline I had in me.“I've never done this before.”Her admission stirred an emotion in me, and my shoulders inflated.My virgin wife.Pride.She was this sweet and I was going to be her first. The thought of having her pussy to myself…I slid another finger to meet with the one in her, thrusting deeper as I finger fucked her. I felt the walls of her pussy tighten with each thrust as I stoked the fire in her to climax.“Alex…” her voice trailed off as the cry of her release echoed around us.“Cum for me, little angel.” I urged her on with her fingers. “Only me.”Ashley dug her fingers into my shoulders, grasping firmly for support as she squirted on my hands. After what seemed like an hour and her final squirt, I reached down for my jean waistband and dragged it down as I settled my cock in between her.Our night was far from over.ASHLEY'S POVThe early morning sunlight filtered in through the delicate curtain of the bedroom, helping me rise slowly from a night that's starting to slip between my fingers. I rolled to the other side of the bed and was greeted with the cold grip of the fabric instead of Alex's warmth.I opened my eyes and sat up in bed quickly, causing my temples to throb in pain. Wearily, I scanned everything around me. His side of the bed had been dressed leaving no trace of what happened in the night and the pillow was still plopped against the mahogany frame of the bed. I listened carefully for the sound of running water in the bathroom. Nothing. Everything was still intact.Panic gripped me and I rose to my feet, ignoring the pain that had built up in my head.“Alex?” I called out, turning to go to the door. That was when I caught a glimpse of paper neatly folded on the bedside table.I walked over and picked it up. The white paper still held his scent in it, and I press it to my nose to in
ASHLEY’S POVI’ve never been on a dinner date before, not even when father had been alive. Though I have had dinner once with Peter, my high school crush back then, I wouldn’t really consider that a date as we had his friends and younger frolicking around us while we dined. It was always rowdy. But tonight’s own would be different.I sat idly in the back seat of the black limousine. The chauffeur wouldn’t tell me where he was taking me to, said Alex had warned him not to say anything about it to me. I look out through the window of the limo and admired the bustling nightlife of the city. We also passed through the famous Le Marais where hundreds of Parisians thronged its entrance, yet we kept on going.Alex might be considered ruthless by the outside world, but he wasn’t a kidnapper.I gazed at my image in the vanity mirror beside me. Donna had volunteered to do my makeup which now needed a retouch because of my nervousness, the heart shaped dropping earrings and its matching silver n
ALEXANDER'S POVShe was quiet and didn't say a word to me all through the drive back home. Neither would she look in my direction. I had tried to initiate a conversation, but her replies had been monosyllabic.She had gone up to the room after saying her goodbye as soon as we arrived home, showered and now slept soundly on the bed. I was in the makeshift office, trying to understand what happened tonight.This wasn't how I had planned the evening. It should have been perfect as I had lots of sweet plans arranged for us but it all doesn't matter anymore. Her change in attitude started when I mentioned my trip to Seoul to discuss the deal with Wang Fashion and Jewelleries and got worse with Kelly's presence.Fuck the bitch.I had no idea she'd crash the dinner. Did she come with the intention of worrying Ashley?But why was Ashley worried about being left behind while I travelled? Whatever her reason was, I still needed to tell her who Kelly is and also find out what Kelly was doing at
ASHLEY'S POV“Give me three reasons you did what you did.” Alex's voice thundered inside the room, making the door shake in terror.I stood outside the door, eavesdropping on them through the door hole. Felix was crouched in a fetal position and spurted thick blood with each heavy kick he got from Alex. I had no idea what was going on, but each reason Felix gave was followed by a rib cracking kick from Alex.I might not have liked Felix, but my heart felt pity for him that instant.I peered through the keyhole and saw Alex walking towards the door. I lifted the hem of my green dress and walked briskly to the kitchen, half running as I walked.“Ashley.”I heard his voice first before his heavy footsteps behind me as I rounded the corner to the kitchen. My skin crawled under my clothes and I felt my heart race against time. My lips also quivered with fear as I stood paralyzed to the spot. I had been caught in the act.I hesitated before slowly turning to face him. He took four long st
ASHLEY'S POV"Let's get this over with."Those were the longest words I heard him say ever since his entrance to the room. His hoarse voice which held no sign of emotion rumbled like a distant thunder in the large sitting room that was now occupied by his mother, Jane Jordan - the heiress of Jordan Jewelleries, the dark haired judge who sat by an oak table that had been placed in the center of the room for this purpose, Mother, and I , the I-know-nothing-about-this bride dressed in a knee-length lavender gown and silver stiletto heels, nothing befitting for a bride on her big day.I had been in bed this morning, tossing from the sweet dream I was having when Mother stormed into my room cussing and fussing at the top of her high pitched soprano voice. She looked disheveled with bloodshot eyes, like one who had just woken up from a hellish nightmare."Get out of bed, Miss Lazybones." She screamed as she ripped off my bed cover leaving my skin bare at the mercy of the harsh December winte
ALEXANDER'S POVFuck!She's so beautiful I felt like wrapping my arms around her and pull her in for a breathtaking kiss. I'm pretty sure I looked very intimidating with my cold stares, plus I don't know what she must have heard about me that made her look at me with a bombastic side eye.It's not like I'm over the moon about this whole arrangement. I would never had agreed to this if me becoming the CEO of Jordan Jewelleries wasn't attached to it.Mother was about stepping down as the Chairman of the company, and it called for an urgency in either Michael, my eldest brother and rightful heir of the company, or I taking over. Michael who already has his own family and forged a new career path for himself in the Oil and Gas industry had rejected the offer, leaving me as the only viable option. I loved Jordan Jewelleries, dedicated my existence to growing the business after I finished college, and had always looked forward to holding the reins of the company. But now that my dreams wer
ASHLEY'S POV9:00am.I forced my droopy eyes open and squinted in the brilliance of the morning sun which filtered in through the lush curtains, illuminating the dark corners of the room. A sharp pain throbbed in my temples as I gently peeled back the satin bedsheets from my body, exposing my petite frame underneath.The pain doubled in its intensity as I rose quickly from the bed. I swayed to the left when I tried to set my feet on the linoleum floor, that I had to use the bedpost as a support system. "What could be wrong with me?" I thought as I stared at my full length in the standing mirror.A disheveled figure with eye bags underneath her eyelids stared back at me. My cheeks flushed bright red as the events of last night came back to my memory, and I found myself wishing something more had happened last night instead of the mere chemistry.After Alex had left my room, I had enveloped myself in a pool of my own tears. Ever since Father's death and with no one else to keep me safe f
ALEXANDER'S POVI know I had promised to make things right starting from today. But Mother had other plans for me. I can't imagine the series of thoughts going on in that head of hers. She looked at me, the pain in her eyes silently pleaded with me to choose to stay back."You don't have to go, little angel." I repeated, holding her tiny hands in my big ones. She jerked back at my touch, almost spilling her coffee to the floor.A touch of her is enough to set my ever alive hormones spiralling its way down there. I had promised to take care of her, but how would I do that when she didn't want to be near me. She wouldn't even let me in."I can't. Mother will …"I watched her with interest as she stops mid sentence. What will her mother do? Was she threatened? Did she grow up defending herself from her? Is that the reason she has that wall of protection around her?It seemed there's more to my little angel than she lets me see. The thought of her mother causing her pain made me want to
