Is She

[Grant’s POV]“Is your wife okay?”I turn and take in the flight attendant that stands beside me with a look of concern on her face.“Morning sickness is the worst.”“Morning sickness,” I repeat, frowning. “What do you mean?”Wasn’t this just a bought of motion sickness or nerves that Gianna was experiencing?I mean, I knew that she wasn’t comfortable in my presence, but even then, I didn’t expect it to be this bad.When I booked her first class ticket, I wanted us to be able to maybe talk a bit and get closer during the flight, but so far, everything was going wrong.“She’s pregnant isn’t she?” The flight attendant asks. “When I was pregnant, I couldn’t handle the scent of fish either.”At her words, I look down at the untouched plate of sushi that I offered Gianna and I feel something strange start to flow through me.“Once she is out of the first trimester, she should be able to handle the smell, but she should have been advised to stay away from raw fish while pregnant.”“Why do y

Physical

[Gianna’s POV]I stare in disbelief as Grant watches me, his eyes screaming that he is serious about what he just said and when it becomes too much, I feel my anger bubbling.What was it about this man?Did he enjoy pissing me off that much?I mean, shit. Everytime he opened his mouth he said that would make my blood boil and made me realize that there was just no way that we would ever be good together, but even then, somewhere deep down, I couldn’t stop the attraction I felt toward him.Was I a masochist or something?To be attracted to a bastard who was always poking at me.“Murder is illegal, you know.” I say now.“Only if you’re caught,” he smirks. “Anyway, you didn’t answer my question.”“Because there’s no reason to do that. My private life has nothing to do with you.”“Wrong,” he tells me. “I already told you…”“Yeah, yeah,” I huff. “Anything to do with me became your business when you fucked me, but that doesn’t mean that I have to go along with it.”Not wanting to go back an

Overhear

[Grant’s POV]I stand just around the corner, listening as Gianna begs a nurse to let her out of doing a pee test, but there was no point in that now. Not when I already heard her reasoning and got a confirmation to the thing I was wondering.“She’s pregnant.” I murmur, disbelief rushing through me. “Then who the hell is the father?”Frowning, I feel a wave of anger move through me as I try to picture another bastard touching her after I had her.“How far along are you honey?”I grow quiet as the nurses voice drifts toward me and then I find myself waiting on baited breath for Gianna to respond.“About two months,” she admits and I feel like I’ve been punched in the gut.How long had it been since we were together?Wasn’t it around that amount of time?And if it was?Did that mean that I was the father?Did we use protection that night?I couldn’t quite remember.We were both drunk and we let the alcohol speak and act for us, but when I looked around the suite for a used condom I coul

An Offering

[Gianna’s POV]I stare in disbelief as Grant pulls open the door to the taxi in front of us and when he steps aside and motions for me to enter I realize that he is serious about what he is saying.He’s actually intending to marry me because I was pregnant with his child, but there was no way that I could allow that to happen, right?“Get in,” Grant says, making it clear that he wouldn’t let me get away with running. “Or do you want me to put you in myself?”For a moment, I don’t speak as I stare at the man and the vehicle in front of me.What the hell was actually happening?How was it possible that I was all but being told that I needed to marry this man that I barely knew who was related to me because of my mother’s marriage?No.I couldn’t do that, not when there wasn’t any love.“You’re being ridiculous.” I sigh, crossing my arms and planting my feet. “Who gets married just because of a child this day in age?”We were living in the twenty first century and there was no reason for

What's The Catch

[Gianna’s POV]I stare at Grant, taking him in while wondering what exactly his reason for doing all of this is.Of course, he said it was because he needed someone to shield him and that he wanted to take responsibility for getting my pregnant, but even then I just can’t bring myself to believe it.There’s gotta be a catch.What is the catch?These questions move through my head as silence falls around us and before I can even voice them, the taxi comes to a stop and the cabbie turns to take us in.“We’re here,” he announces, nodding toward the large building just ahead of us. “Good luck and congratulations.”“Thank you,” Grant smiles, climbing out of the vehicle and then coming around to my side. “Thanks for bringing us.”Finished speaking, he pulls my door open and then helps me out and once we are standing on the sidewalk, the taxi takes off, leaving us with no option to leave.Well, there was an option to leave.All I had to do was turn and start walking, but with how determined

A Contractual Marriage

[Gianna’s POV]Twenty minutes later, I stand in front of Grant, our hands clasped, a man dressed in a preachers getup, and vows being spoken though they are a lie.It is all surreal and definitely not what I would have expected after sleeping with this man because of a bet, but here we were.Not only us, but even the child that was created between us that was slowly growing in my stomach.“Do you Grant, take Gianna as your lawfully wedded wife?” The man overseeing our ceremony asks.“I do,” Grant responds, smiling, his gaze remaining locked on me.“And do you Gianna, take Grant as your lawfully wedded husband?” The man continues, his gaze shifting to me.For a moment, I don’t speak while wondering if this really was the best of ideas, but when Grant’s hands squeeze mine gently, I remember the reason I’m doing it.“I do.”I could just consider this a business transaction.I would shield Grant from forced engagements and dates and he would help me support myself and our child until I co

Inappropriate Thoughts

[Grant’s POV]I watch Gianna, taking in her expression as she tries to make sense of what exactly it is that I’m trying to say to her.It was clear that she was having trouble with it, but I didn’t expect any less.In the short period of time that I had gotten to get to know her, it was becoming increasingly clear just how independent she was. However, it was that independence that made me want to spoil her even more.“Don’t think too hard about it,” I sigh. “Come on, let’s get you to that shoot.”“Alright,” she nods and I don’t miss the relief that flashes in her eyes.Chuckling, I pull out my phone and quickly send a text to the personal driver I had set up here.Once I’m finished, I wrap an arm around Gianna’s waist and to my surprise she doesn’t try to pull away.“What?” She asks when I give her a look. “We’re married, right?”“We are,” I agree. “But I figured that you would still want to keep your distance.”“Well,” she mutters and I see a bit of annoyance on her face. “You’ve ba

Noel

[Gianna’s POV]A shiver races through me as Grant’s words settle in and I try to ignore the need that I’m feeling.You’re pregnant, Gianna.You don’t know if sex is even alive.Wait… Was I actually considering having sex with this man?We were in a contract marriage, not an actual relationship. Hell, up until a few hours ago I didn’t even want to let him get close, and yet…It had to be the pregnancy hormones because I can’t keep my eyes off of the man beside me. I mean, who could when he was such a fine specimen? And I can’t stop remembering our amazing, mindblowing night together.Dammit. This wasn’t fair.How was it possible that he could pull me in without even trying?“Hm?”I flinch as I realize too late that I’m openly staring and Grant has caught on.“Something on my face?”“No,” I respond, deciding there really wasn’t any reason in overthinking this. “But there could be.”What the hell?We were both adults, we were married for now, and I was already pregnant by him.What was t

One Track

[Grant’s POV]I feel my annoyance level growing, building higher and higher as Noel’s reaction gets under my skin, but I tell myself to remain calm.I knew that this would be her reaction when we came, so I couldn’t possibly let her actions get to me now.“Wow, you’re pretty.” The woman in question murmurs, leaning close to Gianna. “Have you ever considered…”“That’s enough.”I reach out and grab Noel by her coat and pull so that she stumbles backwards and then straightens up to look at me.“What’s wrong?” She asks, her eyes sparkling. “Jealous?”Actually… I was, but I wasn’t about to say that.“You’re making her uncomfortable.” I say instead, nodding to Gianna who silently watches. “I know you have issues with personal space, but you should at least be able to keep it professional with patients.”“Patients,” Noel repeats. “But isn’t she more than that?”“Pardon?” Gianna asks, looking from me to Noel. “More?”“Oh, sweetie,” Noel giggles, throwing her arm around me. “Grant is my dear b

A Torrent Of Emotions

[Gianna’s POV]I stare at the place that Noel is pointing out on the screen, watching as my baby’s heart beats rapidly.How was it possible that something so miniscule and so random like a blinking spot could bring so many emotions to me? Especially when I was still so unsure about what exactly was happening. However, as I watch that small spot and a loud wooshing fills the room around us, I feel something in me shift.It isn’t an unpleasant shift and it doesn’t leave me uneasy. Instead, it gives me hope and it makes me feel like even though my life is changing drastically, it isn’t going to be as scary as I thought because…I turn my gaze to the man beside me who is watching and listening intently and to my surprise, I can actually see a bit of excitement on his face.“That’s our baby,” I murmur, daring a chance to see if maybe I was assuming the wrong things. “Isn’t it hard to believe?”At my words, Grant shifts his gaze to me and when I see the torrent of emotions flashing through i
