Chapter Four

See I'm really doing this, no backing out again, I said to myself as I walked into my apartment. This apartment was a wedding gift from mother. She'd insisted I kept it a secret, so I could sneak there whenever I needed a break from my husband. At first I'd being against it. Why would I need a break from Alex he was the perfect husband. Now I'm glad I listened to mother. 

The apartment was on the outskirt of town, a two bedroom flat. As I waited for my male escort to arrive, I scanned through the contract I'd prepared. A one month contract. Alex had said he was staying for a month after all so I could as well have him for a month. 

My train of thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door bell. I walked to the door, making sure it was the person I was expecting through the video doorbell, heaving a deep sigh before opening the door. 

My breath hitched as soon as I came face to face with him. He stood there in an all black outfit, hands in his pocket, lazily leaning against the wall with a calm look. He was breath-taking for a moment I forgot what I wanted to say.

"May I come in?" He asked politely and I regained my composure, opening the door wider and making way for him to step inside, the moment he did, my living room suddenly felt smaller because he was about 6'2 feet tall_ lean but muscular. Furthermore, he had this mysterious and domineering aura if I didn't know he was a gigolo I'd think he was a tycoon. 

"I've drafted a contract, you go through it and see if there's anything you'd love to change or add," I went straight to the point, leading him to dinning table where the contract was laid out.

He took a seat beside me, his gaze lingering on me for some seconds before he picked up the contract. My gaze remained on him as he read the contract, tracing his facial features_ A perfectly defined jawline, a straight nose, long eyelashes everything about the man was perfect _ Angel like. He could be a model or an actor if he wanted companies would line up to have a face like his, why did he chose this type of work instead?

I looked away quickly when he caught me staring and awkwardly cleared my throat. 

"Is there anything you'd like to add or anything that you want to change."

"No," he answered as he signed both copies of the contract. 

There were few rules in the contract. He was only mine for a month. Secondly, my identity must be kept a secret during and after our affair. I didn't add no falling in love because I knew he must've met many beautiful woman in his line of work, he certainly wouldn't fall me. 

Taking my own copy of the contract, I tucked it inside my pulse before handing him the other copy. 

"I'm Ayanna, what's your name?" I asked. 

He glanced up before speaking.

"My name is Rain." 

"Rain," I repeated, looking back at him and smiling. "You have a beautiful name Rain."

His eyes gleamered and his lips slowly curved in an angelic smile. "I'm glad you think so," as he spoke, there was this intense look in his eyes. It made me nervous for some reason. Looking away I cleared my throat

"Uhmm, forgive me for acting rude before I was just going through something," I leaned in closer to him, raising my hand to his face to trace his eyebrow, his nose then his lips.

"Do you forgive me?" 

He leaned forward also, closing the gap between us. He gave me a heated look, his gaze trailing from my eyes to my lips. Slowly, he pressed his lips against mine and when he pulled away he said

"I could never hold a grudge against you, Ayanna." 

For a moment, I was stunned by the way my name rolled off his tongue with such familiarity but I shrugged it off. Casting my gaze to my phone as it began to ring. The phone was close to Rain so he picked it up to hand it over to me. I could've sworn I saw a sinister glint flash through his gaze when he looked at screen but it disappeared as soon as it came. The moment I accepted the phone from him, my smile disappeared and a heavy feeling gripped my heart. It was Alex calling. I hesitated for a while before pressing the answer button. 

"Honey," his voice came from the other side of the phone and I immediately felt nauseous knowing that he was with Kate right now. "I miss you so much already. Wish I could be with you right now." 

I almost scoffed at his blatant lies. Both him and Kate were probably laughing at my expense. Nevertheless, he wasn't the only one good at playing game anymore. Raising from my seat, I placed a gentle kiss on Rain's lip then climbed onto his lap so that I was straddling him. 

"Oh hubby, I missed you too. I wish you were here with me."

I inhaled sharply, biting my lips as Rain placed a wet kiss on my neck, nibbling on my sensitive spot. While one of his hands smolder my ass, he used the other to gently caress my breast through my dress. 

"Could you come home sooner hubby, life is so boring without you... Ahh." 

I gasped as Rain bit my nipple sending a mixture of pain and pleasure. He gave me an innocent look when I glared at him in disbelief. But slowly his lips curved into a wicked smirk. His gaze holding mine as he unbuttoned my dress, leaning down to take my nipple into his mouth. 

"What's that honey? Is someone else there with you?" Alex voice came just as I inhaled sharply, trying my best to stop myself from moaning out loud.

"Oh, who else would I be with hubby. Anyway I'm quite busy now. Talk to you later." I hung up the call before he could reply.
