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 steps to get to where I stood before coming to a halt. His big hands come to rest on my shoulder, pinning me to the spot.My trembling hands stayed glued to my sides, And I forced my eyes to focus on the bulge of his biceps underneath the thick vest he wore.“I knew you saw all of that. I did it because of you.”A bolt of panic surged through my spine and my whole body tensed under his grip.Was Felix also after my life?“What did he do?” I asked sharply.“I found out he sells information about us to the enemy.”I never knew we also had enemies here. I thought the only enemies I had - Mother and Rita - were back in Los Angeles.“He poses a big threat to us and also to your peace of mind. He has been relieved of his duties already, and I'll see to it that he doesn't get any employment either here in France or back in the US.”He got what he deserved then, I thought.Alex loosened his grip on me and I felt my wobbly knees buckle under me. Just as I was about to crash to the floor, Alex pulled me up in his hands and steadied me on the ground. The warmth of his hands on my back stirred my caged hormones. I reached my hands to touch his face, but he stopped me midway and ambled along in the direction of the bedroom.************************The next three weeks that followed were quick and quiet. Each day fading into each other with Alex barely saying a meaningful sentence to me.He spends his whole day in his office, working on drafting the plans for his new product launch and only comes out to have dinner after which he goes back into work mode.Donna had been a good companion too, but she wasn't in France anymore. Mrs Jordan had sprained her ankle while doing her early morning jogs, and Donna was asked to come back to Los Angeles to stay with her while she recovered. Leaving me with my phone and the television which blared loudly in the room as immediate company.I get up to switch off the television and angrily send its remote flying to the floor.I've watched this episode of over and over again.Maybe it's time I take the bull by its horns, I thought as I stormed the dimly lit hallway in search of his office. There's an exit door with an out of bounds inscription to my left, and I headed for it.I pushed open the door and found him at the worktable which was filled with printed paperwork.“Look… I may not have been the woman of your dreams nor am I an expert in pleasing you. But it doesn't change the fact that I love you and I want you too, and I'll die of boredom if you keep avoiding me.” I announced as I stormed the room, my hands slow but steady as I started to undress myself. My jeans go down first, then my sweater, then my t-shirt, and everything else underneath.I walked unashamedly naked to where he sat, my hips swaying sideways with every step.Alex moved his chair backwards and chuckled loudly, astonished at the drama I had put up just now.My pussy clenched tightly around nothing as I walked, and I noticed the bulge in the shorts he wore.A grin plastered to his face again, his eyes never leaving me. “I thought you were never going to ask.”I got down on my knees in front of him, my hands tugging shamelessly at the waistband of his shorts.“Seems someone really missed me.” Alex growled as he inched his bottom from the seat and pushed the shorts a little lower. “Why don't you show me how much you do?”I took that as an offer and circled my hand around his cock. His hands gripped the back of my head, curling lightly on its roots. My mouth closed in on his length, sucking earnestly allowing his hands to set the pace as I bobbed up and down his shaft.He was warm and tasted mildly salty, yet sweet enough to intoxicate me. Alex increased the pace, and I felt my heat pool between my legs.I wanted to please him and make him come all over me… I wanted to show him how much I loved him.“Fuck Ashley… I love the way you ride me.”His deep sensual voice sent me over the edge, and I pressed my knees together to keep my drip from slipping down my legs. Alex growled and I felt his cock thicken in my mouth as I sucked harder, minding my teeth as I licked the head.Fuck!His warm semen hits my tongue, and I growled hungrily in anticipation for more when…Alex pulled out with a grunt and lifted me on his table. My bottom sat on the pile of papers and he settled himself in between my legs which were now widespread. My pussy touched the tip of his cock, aching for the length of him.“You don't want me wasting all of that, do you?” He growled in the hollow of my neck which sent warm shivers down my spine.“Alex…” I trailed off, not sure I could take it anymore.“Tell me what you want, baby.”“I want you inside…”I hadn't finished talking when he pushed him inside me. He took advantage of the buoyancy of my wetness and thrust deeper, filling me as he went.I buried my face and forked my hands around him as he banged me without restraints. The papers went flying to the floor, creating a muddle around us.Our panting and growls increased with each thrust of his cock in me. I moaned and arched my back in surrender as the wave of my first release suddenly hit me.The walls of my pussy tightened around him and I let him off what I had started.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
ALEXANDER'S POVI watched her from where I sat. She frowned and her tiny hands fondled the fray threads of her sweater. The way she sat calmly stirred up my caged i-want-an-escape libido, and my chest tightened in approval. She looked so cute and vulnerable right now.“What’s your favourite colour?” I asked. I’m not sure why I do, as I’m not one to engage in leisure conversations. Especially with a lady.Ashely turned, shifting her gaze to the window. Not that there’s anything fascinating to see, except a sea of white fluffy clouds below us.“I like blue. But I also prefer white and nude colours. Let’s just say I’m a natural when it comes to colours.”A faint musical laugh escaped her lips. Whatever that was, it was a good sign. And I’m glad she beginning to settle in with me.“Okay. I like blue too, all shades of blue,” I responded. Now that I know we share same taste in colours, that’s a good start for us. For me. “Your turn,” I added sharply before she had any chance to reply.“You
ASHLEY'S POVMy anxiety surged through me as Alex and I walk into the room. I watched him carefully, my heart pounding wildly with each nanosecond that passed.I dutifully walked beside him as he held open the sliding door for me to pass through. We were now in a huge room which served as the main entrance to other rooms.A uniformed man with a wide grin etched permanently on his face stood at attention for us. "Bonsoir, Monsieur Jordan," he greeted warmly. He should be in his early forties going by the sparse amount of grey on his head. "And who might the young lady be?"I couldn't help but noticed the way he looked at me as he led us into another large room."Watch it, Felix," Alex warned in an acidic tone, which sent shivers down my spine. "She is not to be regarded as a young lady," Alex said gruffly, taking my hand in his. "C'est ma femme (This is my wife)."I should be pitying Felix when I saw him shudder for a brief moment under Alex intimidating gaze. Instead, I was glad Alex h
ALEXANDER'S POV6:00 AMI silently crawled out of bed to have my bath before Ashley gets up. I've tormented myself enough by sharing a bed with her without touching.I slipped off my boxers and slowly stepped into the shower letting the cold water cascade down my body.While Ashley slept, I had forced myself to stay awake for an hour just to watch her. I let myself become her guard, watching her have her sweet dreams while I was in a hell of mine. She restlessly stirred and moaned in her sleep. Whoever was fucking her while she slept would be nothing compared to me when that time comes.I will make sure to erase every memory of him from her mind and make her want only me, no one else.That's another promise I intend to fulfill.*********************8:15 AMAshley still laid in bed. Her body ungainly sprawled on the mattress, her nightie shifted an inch above her long legs, her nipples taut against the satin of the fabric.The flight must have taken its toll on her, I thought as I walk
