Alicia would be lying if she said that Theo's possessiveness didn't thrill her. It turned her insides to jelly and for a brief moment, she saw the man who had taken her virginity. The tender and warm Theo. Without a thought, Alicia blurted, “I am sorry.” Theo halted, raising his head, which was buried on her chest. He held her gaze for a moment, and Alicia was convinced he would say something. But he didn't. Instead, he grabbed her and slammed his lips to hers, while nudging her to pick her pace with the other. She did exactly that. Bounced on his cock earnestly until they both came, chanting each other's names. He pulled out of her and sauntered to her attached bathroom, where he grabbed a wet cloth. He returned to find her sprawled on her back, panting heavily. He climbed between her legs and wiped her clean, before lifting the covers and gestured for her to get in. He proceeded to tuck her in before gathering his clothes together with the soiled cloth and sauntered out of her room
“Are you crazy?” Xavier bellowed, seemingly horrified. He popped his eyes, throwing his hands around aimlessly. “Marrying a woman you barely know?” “I am marrying a woman who is carrying my child, Xavier,” Theo grumbled with a dramatic unmanly eye roll.“But…”“You have got nothing to worry about.” Theo interrupted, spreading his bed. “It's a marriage of convenience. I have everything taken care of.”“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” Xavier asked curiously.“I drafted a contract,” Theo answered simply. Xavier shot him a, 'what the hell do you mean?' look. “It's what I do best, right?” He raised his brows expectantly. “I make contracts for a living, this wasn't even remotely hard.” He laughed, pleased with himself. “You are making Alicia sign a contract?” Xavier asked incredulously. “Don't you think that's too harsh?”“It's clear as day that I can't trust her,” Theo explained in defeat. “The only way I know how to protect myself is by writing my expectations down.” Xavier want
After Theo left for work the following morning, Alicia decided to begin yoga classes and taking walks, as it was boring in the big house alone. She had requested Theo to hire a housekeeper to keep her company, and the nerd agreed, saying that they will interview some candidates over the weekend.It was in the middle of the afternoon when the gate security called Alicia saying she had a visitor by the gate. Without bothering to ask who it was, Alicia instructed him to send the visitor in.“So this is where you have been hiding?” Alicia, who had been engrossed in a movie, heard the unmistakable voice. She quickly hit pause and turned to face him. Stephen Herald, the man she left on the altar once and disappeared on again.“What are you doing here?” Alicia asked, looking around nervously. She knew he wouldn't be able to hurt her in Theo's house because of the security, but it was still unraveling to be in the same room with her.“I have been looking everywhere for you,” Stephen growled in
Stephen moaned low in his throat at the sudden intrusion. His hands automatically went to Xavier's waist and gripped tight. It had been too long since he had been kissed with such passion. Such vigor. **** “Where is your ring?” Theo snarled, letting go of Alicia's hand now that Stephen had left. Alicia tried to remember where she had placed it after the shower. “It's somewhere in my room.” She whispered. “Why aren't you wearing it?” “It's a little loose. I feared it might get lost.” Her explanation didn't convince Theo. He still glared at her warily.“And why the hell did you let your ex-fiancee into my house?” Theo folded his hands over his chest and waited for an explanation. Alicia explained that she didn't know it was him when she asked the security to send him in.“You expect me to believe that?” He asked incredulously. “It's the truth,” Alicia argued. “I swear.” Of course, Theo asked how dumb she was to just say yes to sending just anyone in the house without finding out wh
“What took you so long?” Hilda complained, glancing between her sons curiously. Theo smirked. He had tried calling Xavier, but all the calls were unanswered, so he dropped in to see why he was taking long. To his shock, Theo found his brother and Stephen Herald fucking each other's brains out. It was a fact he hadn't wrapped around his head still.“Ask him,” Theo pointed at his brother mischievously. Hilda ignored them, pulling Alicia in for a hug.“I hear you are married.” She muttered in a conspiracy. Alicia chuckled, showing her the magnificent silver ring with a purple rock, Theo had got her.“It's beautiful,” Hilda swooned. “He has good taste,” Alicia whispered with a soft chuckle.“Alicia,” Martin rose to greet his daughter-in-law. After a brief salutation, everyone took their places on the table and the maids began serving dinner. “How was the wedding?” Martin asked tongue in cheek. Alicia busied herself looking at everything but her parents-in-law, while Xavier smirked and lo
Xavier was a lucky bastard the following evening. He arrived home to find a very horny Stephen Herald waiting for him. “What are you doing here?” He wasn't complaining. Just curious and pleasantly surprised.“I didn't have your number,” Stephen mumbled, as if that would automatically explain his unexpected visit. Xavier didn't ask more questions. Instead, he accepted the hot, urgent kisses the man was giving. Xavier opened the door, pushed Stephen inside, and followed hastily. He shut the door and pinned him against it.“Do you have any idea how sinful you look right now?” Xavier growled, running his fingers through Stephen's short, wild tresses. “Shut up and fuck me.” Stephen retorted, grinding against Xavier's bulge earnestly. Xavier wanted very much to strip him naked, bend him on any surface available and fuck him senselessly, but he needed to know why the man came back. Xavier didn't like surprises. He loves to set records straight to avoid confusion in the future. In his mind, h
Theo, on the other hand, got home, to find Alicia hugging the toilet bowl, retching. He grabbed a bottle of chilled water and knelt beside her, rubbing her back soothingly. She tried to push him away, but another nausea wave hit. Theo opened the bottle of water and thrust it in her hand when she raised her head next. After gargling, Alicia leaned back on her knees with a tired sigh. Theo draped his hand over her shoulders and pulled her to him. “Hey,” he called, caressing her hair. “I am guessing it's the pregnancy,” he whispered, making her nod weary.“I don't know why they call it morning sickness, though,” Alicia grumbled, making Theo chuckle softly.“Why didn't you call me?” He asked. He would have dropped everything to come to be with her.“You are a busy man.” Alicia retorted. “Plus, this isn't exactly a sickness or a one-time thing.” “But…” “I am okay, Theo.” She argued defiantly. “But we should get that housekeeper soon.”“We will do some interviews tomorrow.” It was a weeken
Two weeks later, Alicia had a scheduled appointment with the family doctor. She woke up around nine am and was surprised to find Theo idling around waiting for her to wake. He hadn't gone to work, and it was on a Wednesday. “Why are you still here?” She asked, sauntering to the kitchen and Theo in tow.“You have the doctor's appointment,” Theo responded simply.“So?” She asked taking her usual Banana, and strawberry smoothie from Louise, their housekeeper. They did hire one after Theo rejected almost every applicant. Louise is a middle-aged woman, divorced, with two kids who are in boarding school.“So I am not missing your first appointment,” he said in a duh tone. “Well, technically this will be the second…” “Doesn't matter, Alicia. I am coming.” He narrowed his eyes. There was something she wasn't telling. “What?” “I promised your mother…” “I will handle my mother,” Theo informed. “In fact, let me call her now.” He fetched his phone from the sweats pocket.“Won't she feel bad?”
