The CEO's Contractual Wife

We sat in silence for a few minutes, watching the stars. His proximity was distracting; I could smell his cologne mixed with the saltwater scent still clinging to his skin from our earlier swim.

“What’s that one?” I asked, pointing to a particularly bright star.

Alexander followed my gesture. That’s Venus, actually. A planet, not a star.”

The goddess of love,” I murmured without thinking.

“And beauty,” he added, his voice dropping lower. “Appropriate tonight.”

I turned to find his eyes on me instead of the sky, dark and intent in the dim light. My breath caught in my throat as his gaze dropped to my lips.

“Alex,” I whispered, not even sure what I was trying to say.

He moved closer, his hand coming up to cup my cheek. “Tell me if you want me to stop.”

I didn’t. When his lips touched mine, gentle at first, I felt something inside me unravel.

The kiss deepened quickly. His tongue slid against mine as his hand moved to the back of my neck, pulling me closer. I shifted to face him better, my hands finding their way to his chest, feeling the hard muscles beneath his shirt.

He tasted like the wine we’d had with dinner, rich and intoxicating. The passion that had been simmering between us all day ignited, and I found myself melting into him, my body responding with an urgency that surprised me.

His hands slid down my back, pulling me closer until I was practically in his lap. I gasped against his mouth as his fingers dug into my hips, the pressure just on the edge of pain.

Alexander broke the kiss, trailing his lips down my neck. “Watching you in that bikini was torture.”

“You weren’t exactly subtle about staring,” I said, tilting my head to give him better access.

“Why would I be? You’re my wife.” His teeth grazed my pulse point. “Even if it’s just on paper.”

I should have been annoyed by the reminder of our arrangement, but his mouth was making it hard to think straight. When his hand slid up to cup my breast through my dress, I arched into his touch, a small moan escaping my lips.

“Someone’s responsive,” he murmured, his thumb brushing over my nipple. Even through the fabric, the contact sent jolts. of pleasure straight to my core.
