CHAPTER ELEVEN
JAKEI’m having a good dream, it has Olivia in it instead of the red head that I got with last weekend at the club.The reaction my body has to dream is instant and its not a surprise. Her black eyes are drawing me in, threatening to drown me and put me completely under.My eyes linger down to her chest and the luscious curves that she hides all the time with her manly clothes.But I’m not one to complain because I alone can see her like this because she was comfortable enough to let me.Olivia leans towards me and I can instantly read her intentions so I lean towards her, our lips almost touching.It’s the perfect moment, so imagine my shock when there a loud bang that has my eyes flying open and the sweet scene in front of my eye disappears.But it is replaced with something even better.Olivia is standing in front of me in nothing but the black lingerie I had bought for her. If I thought the red one was the sexiest one then this it looks like I was clearly wrong.I don’t realize sh

CHAPTER TWELVE
OLIVIAIt’s easy to tell the way Jake sees me has changed these past days. He looks at me now like a man would look at a woman.I don’t know how to feel about it but it makes me smile and my cheeks turn pink, which he of course teases me about.It’s even evident in the way he opens the car door for me and waits to make sure I’m comfortable first before closing it.No one has ever done these things for me, no one has ever made me feel wanted or needed like he does.When he starts the car it brings me back to our predicament. Jake’s father invited us to his impromptu retirement party.Jake must have seen my fidgeting hands on my lap because he reaches off and gives it a squeeze, “Don’t worry you’ll be fine, I’ll be your side all evening”.Somehow that calms my nerves and I flash him a smile. We drive off and hit the road when Jake puts on the radio to some country music.I scowl at him before changing to a random station. I could endure anything but not country music for any reason. It

CHAPTER THIRTEEN
OLIVIAWhen the sun rises the next day I wake up wearing Jake’s clothes with no memory of putting them on.It smells so much like him that I never want to take off. It’s a mixture of night life and an ocean scent.I snug deeper into his bed, it was sad that he wasn’t here when I woke up. Having him put his arms around me was the best I’ve felt in my life. Or at least close to it.I’m getting out of bed when a certain pair of hazel eyes flash in my head. I’m not sure yet what to make of what she told me at the party.Asking Jake might be improper and he might get defensive, it’ll even turn out worse if she lying.I mean his supposed father was leaving his entire company in his hands, that meant he had a lot of trust in Jake.Maybe it was nothing. Just sibling rivalry and I was now choosing to stay out of it. Whatever was going on with his family was not my concern. Besides I wasn’t even his real wife.When I follow his voice I find him in the kitchen making coffee. He slides me a mug f

CHAPTER FOURTEEN
JAKE I’ve never seen Olivia look this excited about going somewhere so it makes me uneasy. Like she’s going to pull a stunt, especially after our little exchange.Except our exchange wasn’t that little to me. I still remember the way her body responded to mine.Olivia says she’s not attracted to men, not into me but it’s undeniable how much her body wants me.The way her cheeks flush and a blush rises from her neck to the parting of her lips. Inviting to taste their cherry sweetness.But, there’s always this little but at the back of my head whenever it came to Olivia.It’s obvious Kyle is not so happy with the club idea but I think he prefers it to staying in my apartment while Olivia and I argued.When she steps out in her cargo pants and tiny straps of clothing that cover her boobs just fair enough, I know that it’ll be a long eventful night.The club is crowded when we finally make it in through. Loud music instantly attacks my ear as coloured lights danced across my face.Olivia

CHAPTER FIFTEEN
OLIVIAMy entire body is aware of every point where my bare skin meets Jake’s to where his warmth send ripples of pleasure along my being.I’m not sure how we ended in this position. All I remember is meeting a fine blonde with baby blue eyes and taking her home with me, her name was Ashley, Natalie? I’m not sure.I can feel his arousal press deep into my stomach while he’s asleep.I want to touch him, after part of him. Most importantly I want to know why I feel this way for way for him.Yes, he’s handsome but he’s not the only handsome boy I’ve ever come across. He’s funny but he’s not the only funny guy I’ve known.Maybe it’s the way he touches me, but other men have touched me in the past and it didn’t make me feel this way.Many tried to force these reactions out of me but I felt nothing until the first day I kissed Jess.We’d met at a club. I was new in town and lost and she was trying to rebel against her rich parents.I envied her but she envied me, to be able to go as pleased

CHAPTER SIXTEEN
OLIVIAWhen there is a loud knock on the door, I can already tell it is Sharlene and she is an entire ten minutes early.I only just made it out of the shower and into black cargo pants to match with a black tank top.I mean it was only Sharlene, there was no need to dress up in the corporate attires that Jake had his stylist make for me.I was trying to impress his parents and not her.Lacing my boots, I step out of my room at the same time Jake steps out of his. He heads straight for the door with a scowl on his face and I don’t blame him.“Relax tiger, I’m not here to see you” Sharlene says and I can tell she’s smiling even though I’m yet to see her face.There is always this excitement in her voice whenever she was dealing with Jake, like she had fun from pissing him off.It was Jake’s turn to piss her off as he pulled me into him the moment I made it to the door and made a show of kissing me passionately.I enjoyed it, my eyes closing as I hold onto his shirt to keep myself from

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
JAKEThe water running in the kitchen reminds me that I’m not alone in my worries. Kyle is here and he would know what to do.I look out to the drive way but it’s still empty. Why were the taking so long.Sharlene said it was a friendly date to get to know Olivia better but I knew it was far from the truth.It didn’t also help that she looked at Olivia like she was a toy that she needed to have.It wasn’t hard to tell Sharlene was interested in her to some level but Olivia was mine alone to have and I was going to keep it that way.“Do you think she said something to Olivia and she decided to run away?” I ask Kyle as I walk into the kitchen. My face a mirror of the desperation I felt.“Relax man, she’s not going to just run off into the sunset because of something Sharlene said to her, at least not without confronting you first” Kyle says.He’s not as worried as I am because he has nothing to lose.“If she tells her our entire plan then I’m totally screwed” I run my palm over face.“F

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
OLIVIAMy sleep is almost peaceful until there’s a sound blaring around the room.I groan, my clothes from yesterday digging into my skin. I guess I slept off in the middle of my pity party.What Sharlene had revealed had quite shaken me up and I needed time to process.The Jake she was talking about couldn’t possibly be the same one that caused butterflies to stir in my stomach.He was a loving soul that cared about me, I mean he likes feeding me so he’s high up in my radar.Taking over his father’s company just to tear it down in a quest for revenge didn’t seem like something he would even think of.It was possible Sharlene was only speaking from her feelings because it was obvious they didn’t have the best relationship.It had to be.Now I feel bad for not opening the door when he knocked, he must have wanted to know why I was in a mood.I’ll apologize to him once he wakes up but first I have to answer my phone that keeps ringing. My hand finally finds it somewhere among the pile t

CHAPTER NINETEEN
OLIVIA There’s a lot going on in my head as I make my way to the apartment. I have so much questions that I can’t seem to get the answers to. Just when I thought I had everything figured out with Jake. I’m so deep in thoughts that I don’t notice he is standing at the already open door until he embraces me. I go still at his touch and I know he feels my body shut down too. My arms that was aching to wrap themselves around him remains mute at my sides. “Are you alright? Where did you go?” he sounds worried and I should feel bad for making him weary but I’m not. It’s hard to tell if he’s actually worried about me or he’s worried that I’d find something about him that I wasn’t supposed to know. “I was worried when I woke up and there was no sign of you” he continues despite the lack of reaction from me. “I thought you…” “Ran away” I complete the sentence for him before stepping away and watching his arms fall to his side. “I’m not that easy to get rid of” I say and walk into the ap

CHAPTER TWENTY
JAKEIt’s no denying the girl in front of my is beautiful. Mum wants me to marry her and not Olivia.I didn’t want to get married at all, but if I’m going to see it through for the company then I wouldn’t want it to be anyone other than Olivia. She was the only one that made the idea bearable.When I don’t find her in the apartment again after my shower I panic again. That’s all I seem to be doing these past days.It’s the only reason I’m still looking at the picture mother sent me. If Olivia changes her mind about marrying me then I’ll just go on with whoever this girl was. She seems nice enough.That’s the plan now. I just pray Olivia wants to marry me on her own and not because she signed a contract with me.When she mentioned the contract earlier I was surprised because I’d totally forgotten it existed.It would be unfair of me to use it to make her stay if she changed her mind and decided to leave.There had to be another way to keep her by my side or I’ll just simply have to let
