Luke groaned, muttered something ferocious under his breath. His dark, hard features clenched, his glittering gaze burning over her upturned face. Something stronger and older and infinitely more powerful than she was held her utterly still as long fingers twined into her hair and his dark head bent.His hand settled impatiently on her spine, tipping her back. His mouth parted hers with a hot, hard urgency that sent sensation coursing through her in wild, primitive response. His tongue thrust a demanding passage between her lips and her head spun. He was above her and then he lowered his long, hard-boned frame, his unmistakable maleness as he shuddered against her yielding curves, making her blood race and throb through her veins in delight. Suddenly her arms were closing round him in collusion and acceptance.As he slid on to his side, he carried her with him. He continued to hungrily probe her mouth, his hand curving over her breast to invoke an electrifying excitement that dragged

Allie spent several days without seeing Luke. Well, it had to be like that because she had resigned from being his secretary. He didn't even try to stop her from leaving. Did he hate her that much? She had been feeling weak for days. She felt occasionally nauseous and vomited frequently. She didn't know what was wrong with her because she barely fell sick.Could it be pregnancy? She'd read in a book that these were the signs of pregnancy.No way! Alarm churned in the pit of her stomach as she quickly dressed up and ran out of the house. She was going to a nearby pharmacy.Minutes later, she got into the pharmacy and bought a pregnancy test kit. She was going to find out on her own. She prayed urgently that what she suspected wasn't true.When she got into her house, she ran into the toilet and conducted a quick pregnancy test.To her utmost dread, the result came out positive.She couldn't agree to this. There was no way she was pregnant! She and Luke were intimate for just a few tim

"what?" She turned to him"I'll pay you" he said "After quitting your job as my secretary, I'm sure you are low on cash because you haven't gotten another job" he saidAnnoyingly, he was right. She hadn't gotten another job and she had spent quarter of her savings. She didn't know when she would have time to get another job because of her sudden pregnancy. But what was he trying to say?"You don't have to stay shackled to this marriage for long. We'll be married for just three years until the baby is grown. It'll be a contract marriage" Contract marriage? Luke was offering to pay her to be married to him? She gaped at him as she tried to wrap her head around what he just said."You don't have to give me an answer immediately. Think about it. Think about our child" *****************Allie paced around outside the gate of Luke's house. She couldn't bring herself to leave just yet.It was an irresistible offer. She weighed her options. She didn't want to see Luke again so she could d

Wedding bells were heard everywhere. Today was Allie and Luke's wedding day. Everyone was present. Her parents, Shirley, Luke's family too. Luke smirked at his parents. He'd finally won against them. His marriage to Allie was going to shut their arrogant mouths up. They thought that he wasn't going to remarry again after his divorce with Rachel. They always pestered him to get married and produce an heir and they thought him incompetent because he failed to do so immediately.His marriage to Allie was solely based on a contract but as he looked at how beautiful she looked, he wondered if he had begun to catch feelings for her. He hadn't forgiven her for breaking his heart seven years ago and he hadn't told her the reason for marrying her.He didn't want to be the sentimental fool to fall for her again. He only wanted to fuck her and take care of their unborn child whichever way he could.Allie stared at Luke as they said their wedding vows. She married him for the money and for her u

He gulped. He apparently didn't see that one coming"I mean," she continued. "I know you fucked me because you wanted revenge. But you haven't told me why you married me" His eyebrows furrowed and his face contorted into a scowl. "It doesn't matter now" "Yes it does!" She yelled at him. "I've always known you to be an eccentric person, Luke. Did you by any chance marry me because you want more sex?"He lurched forward at her and she recoiled"And if that's the case? What are you going to do about it?""So what am I to you, Luke?" She asked as her voice shook. "Your sex slave?""You're my wife!" He growled"Bullshit!" She spat at him. "we both know that this isn't a real marriage, no?""What do you want from me, Allie?" He asked, frustrated"The truth." she met his gaze with fiery eyes"That has never existed between us, Allie" he scoffed"What do you mean by that?""Okay, why don't you go first? Tell me why you ended our relationship, seven years ago" She fell silent at the questi
