Chapter Seven

Leah's POV

It's been a week since I was in a dilemma and I clearly remember my devil husband saving me that day though I thought it wasn't possible then I remembered he has a reputation to protect.

Whoever took me had no idea this is a contract marriage but they hit me hard enough in strategic areas to send a message. But how could they do such a thing to someone unconscious?

Most people fear Xavier, and he may not have room for any feelings but I don't care.

What matters to me is that he came and had it not been for him, I would have died that day. For the past four days, I have been cracking my head trying to recall if I made such kinds of enemies.

Before I was made unconscious, someone approached me, I just can't remember who it was. The feeling, however, is not something anyone would forget. I was terrified as though I saw someone wake from the dead.

Who would do such a thing to me?

My husband is a billionaire but no one knows what the wife looks like so who could it have been?

Maybe?...

No way!

It can't be her.

I pull myself out of this dangerous train of thought and drive the possibility of this horror to the pit of my stomach and find something else to do

I take my phone and stare at our wedding pictures and I can't believe it has already been a month plus since our wedding.

I wonder if his board has now given him breathing space. I wish this man would give me a chance to heal whatever caused his fear of love and make him happy because l like him.

A lot!

My heart bleeds at the thought of him never being able to love or show me affection it clearly stated in the contract. I will abide by his wishes but I hope one day he opens up.

Suddenly a bit of hope hits me!

Why has he been checking on me every day? taking care of me and cleaning me since I wasn't able to due to the injury.

That could be affection, right? Love maybe? Have I already gone too far?

Am I that Helpless?

I fell for him the very day I set my eyes on him and I knew this marriage couldn't go on without me falling in love. I was okay with those terms but seeing him do such things for me brings me more problems and confusion than solutions.

I have fallen harder!

......

The next morning I awake and I feel healthier than before. Even energized. As I am about to get up the door opens and the sex God walks in and I quickly pretend to be asleep.

He sits and watches me for some time then he eventually caresses my face as he whispers something to himself. I wish I could hold onto this moment forever.

He takes me by surprise when he leans in and kisses me lightly. Pretending to be asleep wasn't a good idea because the sound of my heart is not cooperating! Just a touch of his finger and my core instantly respond hoping he doesn't remove his hand.

Score!

This is why it's good to be in danger, it brings such fortunes your way, I will however, get to the bottom of this. Who did this to me and why?

Besides, I paid all my debt!

Am brought back to earth by soft lips touching mine and am tempted to respond but if I do, he will know am awake and he would stop.

We can't have that now, can we?

Keep touching me, please. Touch me anywhere you want. Am silently offering myself to this Sexy man.

I Silently groan in frustration when he removes his hand and stands up to leave.

What? Where is he going? I open my eyes to watch him leave and the way his firm ass moves as he walks does things to me. I blink and find him gone.

Later that evening I toast and turn but no sleep comes. Maybe I have slept for too long. I suddenly give in to the frustration of my burning core.

I want him.

My body is on fire, longing for the slightest touch from him. My imagination runs wild to all the unholy things we'd do together.

It might be lust it might be love I am not sure and I don't care, one thing I know for sure is that I want this man inside me.

I brush it off and cower at the thought of approaching him but am not ashamed. As if in disagreement, my stomach makes a grumbling sound reminding me food needs to go inside too. I walk to the kitchen to grab something to eat as I haven't been here in a while.

Walking to the cupboard, I try to reach for coffee but am not able to!

"This is irritating, why is coffee so high up!"I hiss under my breath.

I try to stand on my tip toes so I can increase my height but it is no use. I keep making sounds of annoyance and frustration when I suddenly feel someone so close to me he's front to my ass.

It's him.

"I am trying to work, your groaning is irritating and I can't concentrate" his deep voice rings in my ear. He's so close to me and his breath hot on my neck making my mind fogy.

"Help me reach it, and I will be out of your hair." I barely manage to speak holding back a moan.

"Will you?" he asks with a smirk on his face as he slowly reaches for the coffee.

He knows what he's doing to me!

I can feel him getting hard and I unconsciously grind my ass to his front. He finally grabs the coffee and puts it on my side.

Am hot, bothered, and losing my mind.

I turn to face him. His well-built tall frame, his muscles, and his beautifully sculptured face are what greet me. I stare into his captivating eyes and drop my attention to his sexy pink lips and a bonus scene of his shirtless figure.

I stand on my tip toes to reach him and he meets me halfway. He takes my mouth and kisses every life out of me. He grabs my ass with one hand as his other hand skillfully holds my breast while making circles.

"Please" I beg him and right on queue he lifts me and makes me sit on the counter.

He takes his precious time and leaves a trail of kisses on each part of me. He starts with my collarbone and slowly goes down as his hand presses my center.

I throw my head back And moan loudly as I can't keep quiet anymore.

"ah, yes!"

"Don't hold back, I want to hear you." His now hoarse voice whispers to me making me even more helpless.

He moves my panties to the side and inserts two fingers throwing me into ecstasy.

"Mmmmm, please don't stop" I beg

Am about to reach a climax when suddenly the door bursts open!
