Eric's POVI met Chanel a week ago at the gym and she had been eyeing me the whole time. I didn't bother resisting the signals she shot at me, there was no need to. I walked up to her and took her number and the rest was history. We linked up a few days later at one of my family's restaurants which she picked and we ended up fucking in the toilet. While we got down and dirty, I didn't realize how long it had been since I was in between the thighs of a woman.Chanel obviously couldn't get enough of me after that day and she pestered me for another date. I agreed, took her shopping and afterwards, she insisted on getting laid again. I agreed in a heartbeat and booked us a hotel room. The moment we got there, she threw herself into my arms and pushed her body against me as we began sucking faces instantly.She had her arms tightly wrapped around me, her plump lips locked on mine and her boobs pressed against my chest like a warm, silken blanket. She raked her hands through my hair, clutc
Sapphire's POVTaking in a deep breath, my feet led me through the familiar building. I strode through the office, greeting my former co-workers mostly with a soft smile and a nod. April's eyes widened the instant they landed on me and she stood up from her desk to pull me into a tight hug."Sapphire! It's so good to see you!" She boomed, still holding me tightly in her arms.I stood half frozen and then tapped her back, signalling her to let me go. She released me and the smile on her face was as wide as ever. I forced myself to shoot her a smile as well but it couldn't match the one she had on. I didn't know why I felt this way for sure but something about April gave me the creeps. And I found her smiles fake most of the time."It's good to see you too," I responded, clenching my fist around my purse."I missed you so much, Sapphire. You have no idea," April tittered, her eyes scanning the place to make sure the boss wasn't close by, I supposed.I countered her comment with an incre
Eric's POVI watched Sapphire's eyes move back to the papers, her hands clutching them harder. She read through the contract again, particularly, that same paragraph and had her brows furrowed in confusion, her mouth parted slightly. It was entertaining to see her squirm a little, unsure of what she was getting herself into. I'd be a freaking liar if I said I didn't enjoy making her uncomfortable and pushing her to see just how much she could push back.I leaned back in my seat, stretching my hand on the desk, and smirked at her. "Well, Tigress, it seems like you're pondering on the most interesting clause of our little agreement. Don't worry, darling, I'll make sure you find our bedroom duties quite... fulfilling."Sapphire's cheeks flushed slightly and she shot me a glare that could have melted steel. "Don't get ahead of yourself, Mr Donovan. I didn't sign up for some romantic escapade.""And why is it that you seem to have a problem with performing your duties as my wife in the bed
Sapphire's POV"Oh my God! Shut up!" Jamila screamed on top of her lungs, getting up from the couch that we were both seated on. "Are you for real?""She can't be for real," Gwen answered and turned to face me. "You're joking, you have to be. There's no way that you can possibly..."I shook my head and said calmly, "It's true. I'm getting married to Mr Donovan."I straightened myself on the couch and placed my hands on my laps. Breaking the news to my friends was probably one of the hardest things the contract required me to do. I was not allowed to tell anyone the truth behind our marriage. It didn't give me the permission to tell a single soul that Mr Donovan and I were only going to be married for a year and that it was purely business.This was a difficult task for me because it was one thing to lie to their faces and it was another to actually make them believe that lie. And knowing them, they would never believe me especially Jamila since everything was just so sudden. And even
Eric's POVThe drive to the fashion emporium was awfully quiet, too quiet that I could hear mine and the tigress' breathing. I had my gaze fixed on the road and a tight grip on the steering wheel. Through the corner of my eye, I saw Sapphire staring so fixatedly at me. She was throwing sharp glances my way and I couldn't help but let out a muffled laugh."I know I'm a stud but for how long are you going to ogle at me?" I probed, breaking the silence and taking a swerve past a car.Sapphire opened her mouth to speak but only a series of stutters came out. She humphed and looked out the window, clutching her purse."Is there something you want to say to me, Tigress? Go on," I told her, taking a glance at her. Her lips were puckered and for some reason, I thought she looked so cute just sitting there.A sigh broke out of her lips and she grimaced. "You can't just show up at my house whenever you feel like it. It'd be nice if you could ask me first or inform me at least, geez!"I countere
Sapphire's POV"Did you just moan?" Eric asked and I could hear nothing but sheer amusement oozing out of his deep voice.Even I couldn't believe it. I had just moaned in front of this man. Of all the things that could have happened, I had to moan! And there was no way I was going to hear the end of it now. He was not going to let me. What was happening to me? Why was I reacting this way to his touch? Why did I keep putting myself in such a spot?A rush of warmth spread across my brown cheeks, somehow leaving them in hues of crimson. I gently nudged him, a feeble attempt to shield myself from the spotlight of embarrassment that threatened to engulf me."What are you talking about? I did not moan. You're hearing things, Eric," I retorted in a rush even though I knew it wouldn't make any difference now. I had to.He chuckled, his fingers lingering on the zipper and mouthed cheekily, "I don't think I am, tigress. Trust me when I say the number of pairs of legs I've thrown over my shoulde
"Sapphy!" Austin exclaimed, now fully convinced that it really was me in front of him. "It's been a while. How are you? How have you been?"I didn't say anything. I couldn't say anything. I was so startled to find him here and I didn't realize until now how mentally prepared I needed to be to see him. I felt a stinging pain in my chest and I just wanted to get out of here. No, I wanted him to disappear. I hadn't seen him since Mr Donovan beat him up that night. I wondered what he was doing at such a fancy place? The Austin I knew was so frugal that he would never dream of buying anything designer. He lived and breathed used goods. He had even influenced me.Austin took three steps closer to where I stood and subconsciously, I moved back a little. He grimaced, hurt flashing in his bright blue eyes. And then he cooed, "What's wrong, Sapphy? I don't bite, you know."And all of a sudden, my voice came back. "Oh no, you don't. You stab people in the back," I huffed, clenching my fist aroun
Sapphire's POVI felt heat tingle in my cheeks the moment Eric and I locked gazes. I hadn't expected him to show up at this point, especially not in such a dramatic fashion. But seeing the anger in his eyes, I knew things were about to get even more complicated. And Austin was about to get what's coming to him."I said, take your filthy hands off my fiancée!" Eric growled and marched to where we were standing in the aisle.He grabbed my other arm and yanked me out of Austin's grip like he was tearing open a bag of chips. He finally freed me, not giving a damn about the crinkling sounds of protest my arm made. I winced in pain from the sudden hard pull but he didn't seem to notice. The only thing he cared about right now was putting Austin in his place and I could tell by how much he's seething right now.I examined Eric. His teeth were clamped together as though they were in a bitter argument and his eyes? Forget about calm and collected; they were practically shooting daggers at Aust
