Sofie's POV"Thanks again for having me, Cara. I'm sorry I showed up unexpectedly and ruined your plans for the day, dear." Nana cast an apologetic stare at me as she rose from her seat, at the head of the dining table."It's fine, ma. I had no plans for the day, so you didn't wreck anything." I reassured her as she slipped a warm, wrinkled hand into mine.Roman was quietly walking behind us to Nana's car, with his hands clasped behind him."Before I forget, let me give this to you." Nana rummaged through the brown leather bag clutched around her wrist, with her gaze trained on me.She handed me a small exquisitely wrapped lilac gift bag, a mischievous smile curving the sides of her mouth, "Here you go." She handed it to me, "By the way, you should only open it when you are alone. It contains something exhilarating that will make your heart race." She winked.I exchanged perplexed glances with Roman but nevertheless, I thanked her, "Alright, Nana. Thank you for the gift.""You're welc
Roman's POVSofie and I walked into the luxurious villa which was one of the various properties Nana had bequeathed to me, grim-faced and awkward with each other.She had been ignoring me for the past three days, after our spat.I regretted uttering such derogatory remarks to her, and I really wanted to apologize to her and make things right between us.We had to be cordial with each other at least, to make our charade more believable to the public.I had no idea why I had gotten so enraged toward Sofie at the sight of Nana's gift. After all, Nana was the bearer of the lewd gift.All my efforts to mend our relationship went down the drain as Sofie paid no attention to me.She'd only spoken to me earlier today to ask if I'd packed my passport and ticket and when I'd answered that I had done so the night before, she just nodded stiffly and faced sideways."Young master, you are here." Dave Martins, the elderly caretaker of the villa, walked towards us, his eyes drawn into tiny slits in
Sofie’s POV When Roman grabbed me by my jaw and captured my lips with his in a sensually ferocious manner, I was so astounded that I froze and just let him maul my lips.He tasted of grapes tinged with alcohol, like the wine we had just shared.The memory of the thong incident came crashing down on me with full force but I threw the thought aside to allow myself enjoy the moment.I could always blame it on the alcohol.I grabbed either sides of his face as our tongues danced together in an erotic rhythm, drawing out choked moans from me as his hands crept behind me to pull my sundress up, and squeeze my ass cheeks which elicited a lewd whimper from me.He pulled back and I thought he'd regained his logical sense of reasoning as he stared at me, "Do you want to continue this here?" He whispered, stroking my exposed thigh."L-Let's see how it goes." I whispered before hurriedly pulling him into a passionate kiss.Sliding a hand into his pants made me gasp with immense desire, and I cou
Roman’s POV"Fuck, this feels so good." Sofie moaned as I stepped into the jacuzzi and spooned her from behind.I couldn't help but agree as I buried my nostrils into her glossy hair, inhaling the heavenly tropical scent of our shared shampoo, wafting from it.I had to admit it. Doing something as domestic as taking a bath together with her made it all feel so real and believable.But before I could delude myself further, I shrugged the thoughts off and hooked my arms around her waist, inwardly groaning in satisfaction at the soothing sensation that the warm water in the jacuzzi provided.We both remained in the calm silence for a while as I sensually caressed the sides of Sofie's body absentmindedly.Recently, I found myself thinking about Sofie even when she was in my presence or I was in the same vicinity with her.It felt like a weird, crazy obsession that I still couldn't wrap my head around.The stupid silly obsession that made me break the first rule of the damn contract.I co
Sofie’s POV The sound of something vibrating close to me seeped into my ears, forcing me up from the fluffy comfort of the bed.I groaned, exasperated as I blindly reached for whatever it was. When I couldn't reach it, I winked an eye open only to discover that it was my phone and it was vibrating with an incoming call from an unknown international number.Scrubbing the remnants of sleep off my face, I retrieved the device from the nightstand and answered the call before placing it against my ear, "Who is this, and why are you calling so early in the morning?" I yawned as I roamed my eyes around the walls of the room in search of a wall clock."Hey, babe. How have you been? It's Amy and I'm sorry for calling so early. It's late afternoon over here." The familiar voice of my best friend wafted into my ears, and I gasped as relief coursed through me."Amy? Finally, you called! I was starting to think something bad had happened to you. I'm so relieved to hear your voice." I rambled out
Roman’s POV I walked toward Sofie, smirking inwardly as she nervously fidgeted with her shirtsleeves, although the shirt was technically mine.I basked in the proud sensation that engulfed me when I saw how reddened her cheeks were, and how she couldn't seem to hold my gaze, and had her stare fixated behind me.Cupping her jaw with a hand, I smirked, “Was that what you were expecting to hear? That cliché, overused line?”She seemed bedazzled as she finally averted her gaze on me, “I-I don't understand what you mean by that. What are you trying to say?” She stuttered.I chuckled as I cocked my head to look directly into her eyes, “Last night was everything but a mistake, we had a nice time together. I was merely teasing you.”Her hazel eyes widened, “So you don't think it was a drunken mistake then. Is that what you are trying to say?”“Yes, doll. I'd be stupid to deny how much I liked it or did you not like it?” I asked, cupping her face before bringing our lips together in a feather
Sofie’s POV I heaved a sigh of satisfaction as I molded myself further into Roman's broad, muscular chest and he wrapped his arms tighter around me.It'd be nice if I could live forever like this; going to sleep and waking up wrapped in the strong expanse of Roman's chest.But I knew it could never happen. I could only continue to wish for it.Roman had hinted on numerous occasions that he was clearly into me for sex and sex alone, but my stupid delusional mind just wouldn't accept that fact.My more stupid heart just had to betray me by falling head over heels for him.Thinking about the fact that in about two months, I wouldn't have the privilege to wake up beside Roman or have amazing, toe-curling sex with him made me miserable but I wasn't going to make a fool of myself more than I had already done by confessing my love to him.He'd probably laugh at me and null the contract and I couldn't have that.I wanted to be with him for as long as I could even if it hurt me to secretly lo
Roman’s POV "Home sweet home." I said as Sofie and I walked down the stairs of my private jet."Literally. I never knew a day would come in my life that I'd say I missed America's hustle and bustle." Sofie acquiesced with a sigh."Welcome back, young master and madam Sofie." Nathan was at the foot of the stairs with two suit-clad men standing behind him.The men bowed and eased our luggages from us before walking behind Nathan to place them in the car trunk, "You should head back to the company, I will drive us home." I said, to which Nathan nodded as he handed over the car keys to me."Welcome home again, sir," He said before walking off with the men.The drive home was comfortable although Sofie slept for most part of the journey.Cute, I thought as I tore my attention away from the road for a split second to admire her.She soon started squirming in her sleep and I knew she was about to wake up, so I forced my stare away from her."I can't believe I slept off," I heard her yawn an
