(Aya’s POV)It was a quick kiss because the children ran toward Red and me, giggling happily as they embraced us. I chuckled, reaching out for the table napkin on the side and wiping the corners of the twin’s and Katie’s mouths because of the strawberry and chocolate-covered cake balls they ate.“I like this, mommy,” Onyx said, biting the one still in his hand.Mommy.They didn’t come from my womb, but my whole body was filled with joy, and I didn’t know why I was too excited that a few hours from now, it wouldn’t be awkward for me to hear them calling me their mommy. The tears I was holding rolled down my cheeks.Blue gasped. “Oh no! You made mommy cry, Onyx.”I chuckled, wiping the tears and sniffling as I shook my head. My heart was so full, unsure where the happiness was coming from because it was overflowing inside me. I glanced at Red when he called me, extending his hand to go with him and meet our family.“Dad,” I muttered nervously.My father only smiled and hugged me. I knew
(Aya’s POV)Dante fetched us from home and drove us to Rose Hills after breakfast. We had to go there early because Mike mentioned I had to sign the prenuptial agreement before the wedding. I didn’t need to explain it to my family, especially to dad, because they understood. I was just worried because even last night, when we came home to the apartment, he didn’t say much except he knew that there was something special about Red and me.When we arrived, and Dante stopped the SUV in front of the villa, I did not wait for him to open the door. Even Addie and Leslie went out of the car and helped Katie get out of her child's seat, but we let him help my father.“Wow!” Leslie opened her mouth in awe as she looked at the luxurious home of her boss. “This is more than winning a lottery, Aya.”Addie had a different concern. “You walked on that hill and from that gate to here?”I laughed, nodding at her. I could not believe it was only recently that I thought I would die in coming here, hopin
(Red’s POV)“Aya’s here, Red. Why do you look so nervous?” Liam chuckled. “Your bride won’t run away.”I knew that because Ariana and Mike kept updating me on what was happening inside. Aya had signed the prenuptial agreement already, and she was sent to the guest room to prepare her for this event. The plan was a simple wedding in my office followed by a lunch with our families with Sherrilyn. Still, I could not ignore the fact that I already stole Aya’s dream wedding, if she had, and tied her to me, so I asked my sister for help, at least giving her a wedding to remember.Ariana told me last night to relax and leave everything to her and Mike while Liam and I were busy in the online meeting with the board last night. The event coordinator she hired had her staff work overnight, turning the covered swimming pool area into a paradise.When the music began, while I walked the red carpet adorned with flowers looking like they sprouted on the side, I could not help thinking about the gra
(Red’s POV)I wanted to kiss Aya more, but I was afraid I would not stop myself from devouring her soft and sweet lips. I stared at her lips for a few seconds as I licked mine, hoping she would allow me to kiss her again later.Later… I pressed my lips, suppressing a laugh, unsure why I wanted more when I planned to work tonight. She agreed to sleep in my bed, but I didn’t know if I would get a wink with Aya beside me.After hugs and kisses of congratulations from our family members, our guest, the person and the reason Aya and I were in this situation, walked closer to us.“Congratulations, Red, Aya,” she kissed Aya and then me on my cheek.“Aya, baby, she’s Sherrilyn,” I introduced, pretending she didn’t know why Sherrilyn was here.My wife curved into a smile. “Oh, hi! I’m so happy you came today.”“I got worried when my grandchildren called,” she muttered as she looked at the beautifully adorned place. “I came here to witness this day. It’s important for me to see who will take ca
(Red’s POV)I raised my hands. “I’m sorry. I just got curious,” I lied.“Curious? Hmph!”Aya sneered at me again and placed a pillow on the bed’s headboard, leaning her back on the cushion and turning her eyes to the magazine she was reading. I might as well suggest to Ariana to give her a space suit, a good night dress to keep me sane at night.“Don’t take advantage of me, Red,” she sighed, tilting her head to glance at me. She looked cute, pouting her lips.“I’m just a man, okay,” I murmured as I tapped my pillow, annoyingly lying on my bed and covering my face with the blanket.“Red,” called Aya in a hushed tone.“What?”I almost growled when she tried to pull the cover from my face. My forehead furrowed, seeing the horror in her eyes as if she had seen a ghost. “Ariana said you haven’t changed anything in your bedroom for many years. Does it include your bed?” she asked in a hushed tone.I pressed my lips, suppressing a laugh, wondering why she was whispering. The main bedroom, b
(Red’s POV)I curled my hands on the metal railing of the bed’s headboard when Aya’s fingers grazed my sensitive member. She tied me on purpose because if my hands were free, she would not be able to do this. I imagined grabbing her arms, kissing her soft lips, and exploring her mouth.Aya was my Delilah, draining my strength as her tongue playfully licked my pulsating crown. I moaned again, letting out a ragged breath and growling in a low tone, hoping my hands to escape from being imprisoned in her night robe’s ribbon.“Oh, God,” I murmured nervously when Aya’s mouth closed around my shaft.She was quiet and careful not to touch my skin with other parts of her body except her hand and mouth. This was like having wet dreams, and the only difference was that the warmth of her mouth reminded me this was real, and she was making every part of my body intense, not a piece of my imagination, in this erotic dream.My head arched, and I lifted my hips, wishing to get my member deeper into h
(Aya’s POV)Red peeked from the canvas, gazed at me from head to toe, and stared at my face for a while. I swallowed hard and forced a smile, hiding the fact that I was trembling, nervous that he might come closer, and found out how badly I desired him.We had not known each other for a long time, but I had done crazy things I never thought I could. I got hired but fired the next day, pretended to be his wife, and just a while ago, I vowed before the officiant to stay committed and faithful to him for the rest of my life. I must be deranged, pleasing him with my mouth and sitting naked before him.The biggest lie I had ever said today was telling him he would not satisfy me, but with his eyes fixed on my rosy peaks, it was already proof that he could. I heard him groan when I licked my lips.“Argh! You’re making me crazy, Aya,” he snarled in a low voice, putting the pencil back on the side, and began walking in my direction.I squeezed my eyes shut when I saw him reaching for my shoul
(Aya’s POV)This was the second time I saw everyone at the dining table for breakfast. The first was when I worked as their nanny supervisor, and today, as Mrs. Carlington. The children dashed toward their usual seats, except for Liam, moving to the next chair.“Good morning!” Liam greeted, his lips curving a playful smile, watching me as I checked on the food Onyx’s nanny was putting on his plate. “How’s your first night here, Aya?”“Scary,” I blushed.I glanced at Red, whose eyes were on the tablet he was reading. I walked on the vacant chair on his right side, assuming the seat was mine, but as I held the top rail, I stopped pulling it when I remembered him talking to Scarlett’s picture early this morning.“I think… I…” I turned my eyes to the last chair beside Ariana. I didn’t deserve to be in this place.“Sit!” Red muttered in an autocratic voice.It wasn’t loud, but I panicked, pulling the chair and sitting down. The maid, whose name I forgot because there were so many, walked t
