The baby contract

Chapter 39

On getting home, he met the greatest shock of his life. She had packed all her things to the guest bedroom. He thought she had a good surprise for him, was this the surprise? He asked himself in anger, feeling his jaw twitched. There was no way he was going to allow her move into that bedroom, she would definitely stay with him. He couldn't afford that, not now or ever. Never? What was he saying? The contract was bound to expire less than two years from now so he had to brace up himself for what was coming. Damn, he thought she wanted to patch things up between them, a nice meal waiting for him with her in a sling lingerie or something, but definitely not this, he thought to himself, trying to keep his anger in check.

" What's all this? "He asked with his eyebrows raised.

" What does it look like? " She fired back with a sweet smile, a too sweet smile.

" Where are you taking your stuff to? " He asked slowly.

" To the guest bedroom of course " She answered without looking at him.

" You are not going anywhere, this is your place " He said firmly.

" Can you stop me? " She asked with a smirk.

" I can and I will " He replied firmly

" Would like to see you try " She answered with a raised eyebrow, daring him to carry out his threat.

He shook his head, trying to calm down while telling himself that arguing with her was not the reasonable thing to do.

" Listen Carla, this is absurd. We're supposed to be married... "

" And we are " Carla cut in, brushing away a strand of her hair.

Liam nodded " Exactly, so doing this is absurd really "

" There's nothing absurd about this Liam, I'm just trying to make things easy for us " Carla said, waving her hands in the air.

Liam frowned, not getting her point " Easy? How? Look, there's nothing easy about being separated from my wife "

Carla felt color rushed up her cheeks as she heard that. He really knew how to make a lady feel important, didn't he? Well, she had made up her mind and nothing was going to change that.

" Liam please " She said in a very soft, velvet like voice and Liam felt his heart softened at that.

" Why? " He whispered but Carla looked away to stare at the non existent thing that caught her interest.

" Why do you want to be away from me so badly? " He asked again when he got no answer, this time holding her gently by the shoulders so she was left with no other choice but to look at him.

She shook her head " This is the best thing to do, Liam "

" The best thing, how?! " He growled, getting more frustrated by the minute.

Carla ignored his original question and changed the subject " I hope the one time we had sex is enough to get me pregnant, we can't keep doing this "

" We are married Carla, it's perfectly normal " He said firmly.

" I know we are " She replied quietly

" So what's the problem here? Or.... Are you scared of falling in love with me? " He searched her face desperately for answers.

" No no, that's not it " She said quickly with a firm shake of her head.

Liam smiled " Then let's take this slowly, shall we? We can do this, baby " He caressed her cheeks.

" Even if we don't love each other, we should at least make this right and do it the right way " He added.

" This is not a real marriage, is it? We do not love each other, Liam " She said slowly with a bitter smile.

He held her hands in his " I know, but we're legally married Bella. We agreed to do this, remember? "

She stared at him for a full minute before she finally conceded " Okay "

He smirked and bumped her nose with his index finger " Is that it? Just 'Okay'? "

Her expression softened and she smiled " Let's do this "

His eyes twinkled with something she couldn't quite fathom and before she knew it, he captured her mouth in a deep kiss and soon, both of them were on the couch, with their clothes discarded quickly.

" Liam... Liam wait! " Carla broke the kiss and pushed him lightly, panting heavily.

Liam grunted but listened to her anyway " What's wrong? "

" I... I... " Carla gulped, her chest rising and falling in multiple breaths

" Carla? " Liam asked softly, tilting her chin up to look at him.

She raised a pair of doe eyes to meet his dark ones " Uh? "

" Something is obviously wrong with you, talk to me baby " Liam said imploringly.

" I... I'm feeling rather unwell " She said quietly, placing a hand on her hair.

He raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing her " Unwell? You were active few seconds ago but now you're feeling unwell? " Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

" Yeah, I have a terrible headache so I think I'll rest for a while " She said while avoiding making eye contact with him.

He didn't respond immediately as his eyes were drawn to her naked breasts. He gulped, feeling his dick hardened at the sight of her pert breasts which perked up as though waiting eagerly for his touch. He knew she wanted him just as much as he wanted her but knowing Carla, she would deny herself the pleasure she could have and rather punish herself. Why would she deny herself the utmost pleasure when they could have had a great time together? He asked himself. Now that she refused him without batting an eye, he would have to make do with an hard cock and probably sleep with it.

" Okay " He said and stood up. Snatching his clothes from where they lay discarded, he left without another glance at her. He went to their bedroom and took a long shower, hoping it would help him with the painful strain in his dick.
