Heat bloomed in my chest, spreading outward. He was drunk. Had to be. The whiskey talking, making promises he'd regret in the morning.

"You're drunk," I said against his mouth.

"I'm not." He pulled back, eyes searching mine. "I've never been more sober."

"You're definitely drunk."

"Liv."

"Don't." I pressed my fingers to his lips. "Let's just enjoy tonight. Talk about this when you're thinking clearly."

He caught my hand, pressing a kiss to my palm. "I am thinking clearly."

  • The CEO's Contractual Wife   Chapter 348

    AlexanderOlivia's laugh came through the speaker, warm and genuine. "I'm not surprised at all. My mom has been dropping hints since the wedding. She keeps sending me articles about celebrities having babies, showing me photos of cousins' kids." She rolled her eyes. "Very subtle." I chuckled despite my exhaustion. "Parents are all the same, apparently. My mother will probably start the interrogation next time I see her." "Are you ready to be bombarded with baby questions when we visit?" "I can handle it." I grinned at her through the screen. "I'll just deflect to you." "Coward." "Strategist," I corrected. "There's a difference." She rolled her eyes but was smiling. "Anyway, that's the current state of my mother's interrogation tactics. Consider yourself warned." "Noted." I shifted on the sofa, getting more comfortable. "Though I have to ask, what kind of good news was she expecting? Did she seriously think you'd announce it over the phone?" "Knowing my mom? Probably." Olivia l

    Alexander"Such as?" Samir asked. "Operational autonomy for existing properties. Final say on hiring and firing key personnel. Brand identity protection. Regular performance reviews where you evaluate Carter Enterprises' support, not just us evaluating you." Omar's eyebrows rose. "Mutual accountability?" "Why not? If this partnership isn't working for Al-Rashid Holdings, what's the point?" Rashid and Samir exchanged glances, clearly not expecting that level of flexibility. For the next three hours, we worked through specific terms and concerns. Rashid proved shrewd on financial details, while Samir focused on preserving their hospitality culture. Omar mostly listened, asking occasional pointed questions that cut straight to the heart of issues. By late afternoon, we'd made substantial progress. "I need to discuss this with Khalid," Omar said finally. "He deserves to understand these protections." "Of course." "We'll reconvene tomorrow morning. Nine AM." I nodded, gathering m

    AlexanderOmar was quiet for a long moment, his weathered hands wrapped around his coffee cup. "Come," he said finally, standing. "I want to show you something." I followed him through the estate to a section that opened onto an enormous courtyard. Several hooded birds perched on stands, and a young man in traditional dress tended to them. "Falconry," Omar explained, his entire demeanor shifting to something lighter. "My greatest passion besides business." "I've never seen it in person." "Then you'll learn," Omar called out in Arabic, and the young man brought over two birds, their talons gripping thick leather gloves. "This is Aziz, my falconer." For the next hour, I received an education in an ancient art. Omar's enthusiasm was infectious as he explained breeding, training, and hunting techniques. He handed me a glove and let me hold one of the birds, guiding my movements with patient instruction. "She's magnificent," I said, feeling the falcon's weight on my arm. "Seven yea

    AlexanderCoffee arrived via room service while I showered and dressed. The butler who delivered it was impeccably professional, setting everything up on the suite's dining table with practiced efficiency. "Will you require anything else, Mr. Carter?" "No, thank you." He left silently, and I attacked the coffee like it personally offended me. My phone showed several emails from Jessica, mostly scheduling confirmations and contract revisions. My schedule for the day was lighter than usual. Nadia had arranged a private tour of one of Al-Rashid's newest properties in Downtown Dubai, followed by dinner with Samir to discuss their hospitality operations. The property tour was impressive. Samir met me in the lobby, dressed casually but expensively, his enthusiasm for the hotel obvious. "This is our newest location," he explained as we walked through the soaring atrium. "Opened six months ago. Already at ninety percent occupancy." "Impressive numbers for a new property." I studied the

    AlexanderI stripped off my clothes, tossing them onto a chair, and changed into the pajama pants I'd brought. The clock on the nightstand read quarter past midnight. With the time difference, it was late morning in Los Angeles. Olivia would be at work. Probably buried in Cornerstone materials, obsessing over details that most people wouldn't notice but that would make all the difference. I grabbed my phone and settled onto the sofa, pulling up her contact. Video call felt right. Better than text, better than voice alone. The call connected after three rings. Olivia's face filled the screen, her expression shifting from concentration to surprise. "Hey. Wasn't expecting a video call." "Wanted to see your face." Her smile softened something in my chest. "That's sweet. How was your day?" "Long. Productive." I adjusted my position on the sofa, the leather creaking beneath me. "Had the meeting with Al-Rashid Holdings this morning." "How did it go?" "Better than expected, actually.

    AlexanderI watched the street performer's flaming torches arc through the night sky, each rotation perfectly timed to the pulsing electronic music. The crowd around him had grown, phones held aloft, capturing the spectacle. "Very impressive, yes?" A voice beside me, thick with an Arabic accent. I glanced over. An older man with weathered hands and kind eyes, watching the performer with genuine appreciation. "Very," I agreed. "First time in Dubai?" "No, been here several times. Business." He nodded knowingly. "Always business with you Americans. Never pleasure." I couldn't help but smile. "Sometimes they overlap." "Ah, you are learning then." He gestured toward the marina. "Beautiful night for walking. City is alive." "It is." The performer caught his torches in a final flourish, bowing as the crowd erupted in applause. People dispersed quickly, moving on to the next attraction, the next experience. I continued walking along the causeway, letting my feet carry me without a

    OliviaAlexander moved closer, his footsteps silent on the plush carpet. His arms slid around my waist from behind, pulling me back against his chest. The warmth of his body seeped through the thin fabric of my dress. "You haven't seen the bedroom yet," he murmured against my ear, his breath hot.

    OliviaEach thrust hit deep, sending pleasure radiating through my body. The sound of skin slapping against skin filled the cabin, mixing with our moans and the creak of the bed. Alexander's hand found my clit, rubbing rough circles that had me seeing stars. "You're taking my cock so well. Look at

His eyes were locked on where our bodies joined, watching his cock disappear into me over and over. "Look at that," he sai
