Chapter - [ 5 ]

[ Ashton ]

"Hands on the wall, carino." I whispered in her ear as my hands roamed on the soft skin of her flat stomach.

Her body stiffened.

"Wha..what are you doing here?" She stammered in shock and tried to cover her breasts but I stopped her from doing so and swiftly turned her around.

"What I said to you last night? Once you allow me to claim you, I will mark you mine every time I feel the urge and you can't stop me from having my wife, Valeria. Trust me, I'm going to make you feel good in every way." I licked her earlobe and massaged her bosoms.

Our naked bodies drenching under the cold water. My desire for her increased on a crazing level when I saw her bruised body glowing. It took every single ounce of self control for me to not fuck her again but I lost to it.

I gave up for the first time in my life but I don't regret it at all.

I roamed my hands in between her thighs and rubbed her clit, she was dripping as I felt her stickiness on my fingers.

"Oh God!" She cried as I plunged my two fingers in her tight folds. She was sore from last night but I couldn't stop myself .

She was like a drug to me.

My cock was hard again. I deliberately pressed it on her ass.

"Do you feel my cock, carino?" I asked her as I gripped her hairs in my fists, she grinded her ass on my dick indicating that she liked it.

I smirked seeing my effect on her.

"Good, now I'll make you cum without fucking you." I said and started pumping faster as the water soaked us.

My lips grazed on her supple skin.

"Oh! I can't hold it anymore." She moaned as I rubbed my thumb over her pussy bud.

I circled my fingers around her tensed walls, she was close, I could feel it.

"Ahh..fuck Ashton." She cried and tried to touch my dick but I slapped it away.

"If you touch me now, I can promise you that you won't be leaving this bathroom without limping." I warned her and slapped her pussy.

She turned stiff hearing my words.

"I want to do a lot of things with you, Valeria but you must be fed first. Besides, the lawyer and your father will be here soon. We need to sign the agreement today." I said and thrusted my fingers more vigorously but she turned quite as she came undone on my fingers.

I slowly pulled them out and turned her so I could look at her angelic face.

"I may be sounding cold, Valeria and I am but it is good for our relationship to stay professional. The only bond we'll be sharing, it will be the sex on mutual consent and public appearance. I do not want any complications in our marriage for next two years." I made it clear though my heart screamed in rebel.

"I understand." She nodded her head in understatement but couldn't meet my gaze.

I placed my fingers under her chin and forced her to look at me,"Do not be scared of me, Valeria. I never hurt a woman, specially not the one who legally bears my name." I said to her.

"I am not scared of you, Mr. Rodriguez. I just don't have a control over my own mind or heart. I am completely lost." She said in a cracked voice.

I wanted to comfort her, tell her that I'd make her life a heaven for her but I restrained myself.

We were end game.

"You're my wife now, Valeria. So, you can call me Ashton." I reminded her.

I wrapped towels around us. She wore my bathrobe and went to her own room. I regretted allowing her to stay in a different room. Anyways, she'll be spending her nights in my room.

I was usually a pretty perspective man who took his decisions practically than allowing emotions to cloud my fair judgment. The life had given me deep scars, harsh lessons that nobody cares for me.

I was all alone in a big world since my mother's death. She was the only person I ever loved and after her demise, I completely shelled myself and forbade anyone to stirr those hibernated emotions until I saw Valeria Miller.

When my eyes first laid on her a year ago in a cafe, I knew she'd turn my life upside down. I was pulled to her.

But when I found out that she was my nephew's girlfriend and twelve years younger than me, I quiet the idea until twenty four hours ago when my dear nephew fled giving me the golden chance to seize the opportunity.

He had always been disloyal towards her who loves him religiously and it burns me more in jealousy.

But I'll soon make her fall in love with me.

Very soon.

Once I dressed in my formal suit, I made my way to the dining area. I spotted Valeria on one of the chairs sipping her coffee in solitude. She wore a pair of jeans and full sleeved top with turtle neck.

I mentally smirked. She was hiding her hickeys that I embedded on her smooth, flawless skin.

I sat a few seats away from her. She looked at me but said nothing while my coffee was being served.

"I want to go out. My friends want me to meet them." She said after comfortable silence of five minutes.

"You're free to do anything you wish, Valeria. You're not a prisnor here but make sure, you avoid the press. They'll hunt you down and ask you the questions you may wish to avoid answering." I said in a monotone.

"I know that's why we decided to meet at my best friend's house." She assured me.

"Good, you can leave after your father comes here and we discuss the clauses." I said and rose from my chair as I was done with my breakfast.

A maid came there.

"Sir, your lawyer and Mr. Miller is here." She informed us.

"Make them comfortable and serve them beverages. I and Mrs. Rodriguez will be there shortly." I instructed her and left with my message.

"You want us to walk together? My father knows about the arrangement, Ashton then what is the need of pretending?" She asked blankly.

I rounded my way to her and leaned over her body. She breathed heavily under our close proximity.

"My dear wife, I made a promise to your father that I will be a good husband to you. Real or fake, this marriage happened under the blessing of God." Saying this, I sealed my lips with her soft ones.
