“Excuse you?” Leila spat out in shock.

They didn’t even kiss on their wedding day.

“I have more work experience and a better track record of success,” Samantha stated. “Why did he choose you?”

It took seconds for her to collect her thoughts. She hated the way Samantha towered over her, so she stood. “Technology. Entertainment. Character. That’s what Tech Valley is all about, and you seem to be lacking the third aspect.”

“And you don’t?”

“Maybe I don’t, but I’ll never speak to a colleague with such condescension. I reckon that makes me a better fit for the role of a team leader than you,” she said in a voice too soft. Her reservations about the position melted under Samantha’s glare. With Quincy, there was only so much she could control, but now she could be better. “If you have a problem with that, you are welcome to take it up with HR or the boss. In the meantime, we will have a meeting tomorrow to familiarize, select new team members, and discuss ways to move forward. I’m open to an

    Right. Leila owed him a kiss. When she said nothing, he patted his lap for her to sit. She must have moved too slowly for him because his arm slipped around her waist, and she was placed on his lap. Her heart beat harder in her chest when he tugged the hem of her skirt to her thighs. She hissed out a breath when his finger trailed upward to her inner thigh, and her hands reached out to clutch his shoulders.That familiar wetness pooled in her underwear, and when he slid his fingers inside, she gasped. His eyes were on hers, amusement sparking in them. He pressed his thumb to her clit, doing nothing while the pearl of nerves throbbed.This was still within the comfort of areas they’d explored at home, but they had an audience now. Even with the privacy screen, she was too self-conscious about the driver to fully relax.“You’re wet,” he commented.

    A car honked, and the cab slowed when the traffic light turned red. Leila looked up from her phone, her eyes meeting the driver’s in the rearview mirror. She blushed furiously, an apology almost slipping from her lips. She had done nothing wrong beyond scouring the internet for resources on how to give a good hand job in the backseat of his cab.Today was one of those days she was reminded that her husband was a CEO. Kelvin had to leave earlier because of a meeting. He claimed she did a good job yesterday morning, but he hadn’t mentioned being horny since then. Part of her felt he only said that to appease her. Either way, she must get better at it before progressing into other things like a blowjob.On reaching her stop, Leila bolted out of the car. There was no one in sight except for the receptionist behind her desk. She nodded at her and continued to the elevator, gaze on the phone she was trying t

  • His Contract Wife   62: I do get horny (II)

    Oh.“Wow.” Kelvin's reaction must have scared her. She twiddled her hands, but he didn’t let her slip back into her shy shell by asking, “Right now?”She cleared her throat. “I guess so. But it’s up to you. We can do it whenever you want.”On his feet, he tugged her up by the wrist. A tremor worked up his spine, and he shook it off. He had been celibate for five years, but before then, he had never touched himself while a woman watched. Heck, he couldn’t remember having this type of conversation with them. They always knew what to do, so each time he met with them, they went right into the action.They entered their room, but he continued to their bathroom. “Kev, what’s going on?”“In case it gets messy,” he told her.Inside the

    Breakfast was long over, and the couple was on their living room couch. The lights were off, and the curtains closed to give the perfect cinema ambience. Kelvin stretched the remote to the TV, and the glow from it lit up the space. His other hand settled on Leila’s head, and his fingers crept into her hair. She was sprawled on the couch, her head resting on his lap.“Do you have a movie in mind?” he asked as he browsed through the options.Leila looked up at him, and the light from the TV cast shadows on her face. “Anything with a happy ending.” He chuckled, and she adjusted so she was facing the TV. Her taste in games was also the same. No bloodshed, just happy endings. “Romance. Anything happy works.”Would she consider theirs a happy ending? He continued his search, settling on a romantic comedy. As the movie began, his hand lowered to her upper arm. His fingers caressed her skin, wringing out a whimper from her. This was all so natural to him, skipping work to tend to his wife, wa

    Kelvin was failing. There was no other way for him to explain his inability to protect his wife. He got off the bed, his thoughts too cluttered. He needed a smoke, a way to clear his head. But when he reached the bathroom door, he traced his steps back and stopped by the bed. Leila looked peaceful, with a faint red mark on her cheek, like someone had repeatedly hit her. If she really did that to herself, it made no sense.Why? What did she mean by dirty?Where was she yesterday? Kelvin had been too excited to return home, and even sent her a picture of himself at the dining table with a meal set for two. Olef had done a good job of preparing a special dinner, but it was packed up in the fridge because he couldn’t bring himself to eat when his wife was distressed. He should have known something was wrong when she didn’t reply to his message or answer his calls. For now, he contacted the chef to switch u

  • His Contract Wife   59: Where were you?

    “Leilani. It’s me.”Kelvin? No, the voice didn’t sound like her husband. But it broke through her subconscious. Her screams died down, and Leila’s eyes snapped open.It was Charles. In flesh and blood.Anger, confusion, hate, and a flood of other negative emotions coursed through her veins. She glanced at the unconscious man in the corner and back at Charles. This was a familiar route to her, so this was too much of a coincidence.“You were following me, weren’t you?” she accused. She moved before she could think too deeply about her actions and shoved him. He staggered but straightened up. “What is wrong with you? I told you. I’m done. We are done.”“Where I come from, the word is: Thank you,” he said. He s
