Inside the car, Aaron turned to look at me. His long legs pressed against mine, distracting me a little, “Do you have any questions about tonight? What we have to do?”I shook my head, “I don’t think so” I raised my brows, “Is there anything I should know? Or isn't it just being a picture perfect in front of the world?”He nodded, stretching his trousers so they didn’t crease, “That’s all there is to tonight. The host wants me to make a short speech and if any questions are directed at us then let me do the answering, is that okay?”It didn’t seem like a real question but I answered anyway, “Alright”Just then the car slowed to a stop on the driveway. It was right in front of the red carpet where the media waited in packs. “Let’s do this” Aaron said just as his door opened. “Wait here” he told me and I watched as he went around the car carefully and stopped at my door.He opened it and extended his hand. I took it, smiling at him, it was supposed to be fake but I knew it wasn’t. I lov

My eyes widened with both shock and a tingle of fear. I looked around, wondering if this was some sort of prank but we were all alone. “And who exactly are you to tell me this? Isn't Alex all yours now?” She smacked on her teeth, the sound reaching me, “Oh, this message isn't all mine. There are people who know you’re wrong for him and if you don’t want to regret this then you’d better leave him when you can” The fear became worse, my chest tightening in my chest, “What do you mean? Who is threatening me?” “Why would I tell you that. All you need to listen for the first time in your life. Aaron isn’t yours, stop reaching for dreams that are out of your reach” she stepped closer to me, her unnecessarily high heels adding to her height, “If you don’t want everything you’ve ever loved destroyed, including that pathetic dying company of yours” Her words sent a sharp pain down my chest. I managed to push away any tears that had been building, “I think it’s better to face your own

Aaron’s POV When the knock landed on my office door, I knew who it was before I asked to come in. Emma wore a tank top that tightened on her, showing off the curves a part of me ached to palm. Her shorts were short enough so that I could spare a full glance at her thighs. For a split second I could see them wrapped around my waist. “I need to tell you something” she said when she reached when the table, her voice brought me out of my trance. I nodded, “Definitely, whatever you need to” suddenly, the weight of the evening came back especially the question. “I’m listening” She pulled the chair out and sat down, I managed to keep my eyes on her, preventing myself from glancing at the cleavage staring at me. A sigh slipped from her lips and I found myself sitting up. It seemed the situation was serious. “Something happened tonight” I opened my mouth to speak but she wasn’t done. “Nothing to do with Alex. It happened when I left for the bathrooms at the gala” I felt myself sag agains

Aaron was soon standing beside him and I felt his eyes staring daggers where Alex held my wrist. “Why do you have your hands on my fiancee’s wrists?” his voice was quiet but the air in the room had risen slightly.Alex’s hands loosened around my wrists but he didn’t let go of it. “She isn't yours. I know you think that but she’ll be always be mine” he tried to stand taller but his frame was still smaller than Aaron’s bulkier one.Aaron shook his head, “You should leave now. I don’t know what you were thinking coming here like this” he took my hands away from Alex’s. “This isn’t your place anymore and it hasn’t been since she signed those papers” he stood slightly in front of me so that even if I could still see Alex’s frame, he was shielding.Alex snorted, “Even you don’t believe that. You hardly know her. You don’t even know her favorite colors or what she likes to eat” he stepped closer to Aaron as if there was a sudden boost of confidence. “She doesn’t know what you really are. The

Author’s POV Aaron looked down at the phone as it rang, a mixture of anger and pleasure ran in his veins. When the call ended, he shoved it into his pocket and stood up from the chair. His pants were tented in front from where he had gone hard as a brick from what had just happened. He tried to arrange himself but it was hard to do so. “Fucking hell” he mumured under his breath. He walked into his room and shut the door, pushing himself against the cold wood. He couldn’t believe what had just happened. At that moment he could feel his hands running down her body, the soft curves of her, how supple she felt against him. When he closed his eyes, he felt her lips against his. Aaron didn’t know for sure what he was doing any more. All of this wasn’t supposed to happen. She was supposed to be just a contract for the world to see, nothing else and yet here he was, his heart pounding with desire for her. Before he knew what he was doing for sure, his hands slipped down until they rested
