CONTRACTED TO A BILLIONAIRE

Chapter 17

Andy changed his position on the bed as he woke up. His eyes caught the angelic form sleeping on the bed and his drowsiness vanished. Jessica had never looked more beautiful , she was more than he ever imagined much more than any man would imagine. She had no clothes on and her only covering was the blanket that he had used to cover her from the night cold weather.

Ever since his dad left, he and Jessica had barely left the room. They had been too preoccupied with themselves to eve notice time.

Andy never even thought of work for a second. They were like a newly wedded couple on their honeymoon which was so crazy about themselves.

They had laughed about the present, never for once mentioning the past or future. Jessica was always beautiful but watching her laugh made her look stunning and breathtaking.

He wanted to make that happiness permanent. Andy was thrown into shock when he found out that he was her first.

To imagine that Jessica would give her such a priceless gift has moved him beyond reason.

The realization had shaken him to his root and he made sure that the moment was special for Jessica too.

As he watched her sleep, he felt the inner desire to protect her from harm.He knew almost nothing about the woman he married. He had felt it was ok to know very little about her. 'The less you know about a woman, the easier it makes it for you to forget her' he had told himself. But he felt different for Jessica, he wanted to know every single detail about her.

The only thing she had told him about her during the period of intimacy was the mishap that happened to her family. He had watched with horror as tears rolled from his eyes as she told him the story.It was devastating that she had to pass through so much pain at a tender age.

Andy watched Jessy pull up her knees like she was trying to shield herself and felt the urge to pull her into his arms to make her feel safe.

This time, he did not resist the urge, he pulled her into his arms and was alarmed by the great delight he felt when she moved closer, burying her head on his chest. He kissed her forehead and brushed the hair on her face.

Andy yawned and went back to sleep.

Jessica had Andy's hand around her when she woke up. She adjusted a bit and stared at him but he was still very much asleep.

She smiled and touch his bare chest with her fingertip. Last night was a better day of her life.Andy had made her feel like a princess, like she was the best thing that ever happened to him.

"No I wouldn't think about it" she thought. She refused to think about the fact that she had slept with her false husband, her contract refused to think about the fact that she had surrendered the most precious gift that she had to him also. But of all men Jessy had met, none of them deserved it more than Andy and maybe no one would ever deserve it more. But why did she do it? Why did she surrender her virginity to someone who would become her ex-husband in a year? she sighed

Deep down, she had an answer for that question, somewhere in the innermost part of her being, she knew that she would never have gotten into the family way with Andy if she did not have some feelings for him.

Andy cleared his throat and Jessy jerked and looked at Andy who was now awake staring at her. She smiled and stared back Good morning Andy"

He was watching her now, making her nervous. "Good morning sweetheart" he put his fingers through her hair and smiled. He knew that she had been thinking but did not want to mention it. He did not want the talk of the contract to spoil the day. "You have a beautiful skin" he said and Jessy blushed. How was your night?"

She smiled and replied "I was able to sleep at the latter part of the night"

"Oh what were you doing? he raised his brow.

Jessy's face hardened "Should be what were we doing?"

Andy laughed and kisses her. "Should I tell you or show you what we were doing?"

Jessica frowned jokingly "I think I know what we were doing so none"

They laughed and he kissed her again, lingering this time to enjoy the sweetness of her lips.

"I am so hungry now" he remembered that they didn't eat dinner

"Its like I have not eaten for the past five decades" Jessica murmured and Andy laughed.

"You are yet to see three decades"

"Yes but I surely do feel hungrier than that"

He smiled "Let me fix us something to eat, just relax here"

"Are you not going to work today?" she smiled

He sat up and said "Certain benefits come from owning your own company" he was naked when he stood up and Jessy's mouth was wide open as she stared at him.

Andy noticed her eyes on him immediately he stood up and smiled as he wore a trouser. He turned and she instantly averted her gaze. "You can stare at me honey" he grinned but it did not last long.

"I certainly enjoy the view"

Jessica saw the hunger in his eyes and was alarmed when she looked at herself and saw that the blanket had slipped to her waist. She pulled it up instantly and could not look up to him.

He laughed at her "Don't be shy with me honey, your body can drive a man crazy"

"I wouldn't want you to go crazy now, would I? he laughed and left.

Jessica instantly picked up her cloth and wore it. Andy had seen her entirely naked but that did not stop her from being self conscious. She had always been conscious of exposing herself when someone wat ching even if it was a woman. Her friends had helped her get over the feminine part because more often than not, they had to dress up together for an occasion.

Getting naked or half naked in front of a guy was totally strange. Even going half naked in front of a male doctor for scan had driven her crazy to the extent that she decided to change her doctor to a female doctor. Now that Andy had seen her nakedness, she was sure that he was the only man that she would give that privilege to. The surprising part was that she had actually wanted him to see her naked.

Putting on a short, she started folding the clothes that were littering the floor and straightening the bedspread. Andy entered with a tray filled with food.

"Wow" Andy said as he saw Jessy's new appearance in a short.

"You look great, what the hell entered you to make you dress the way you used to?"

She smiled faintly "You have no idea. Bread and egg, I can eat it everyday" she said, changing the topic with a smile

He placed the tray on the bed and they both sat. They blessed the food and Jessica was about to dig in when she paused. "I did not even ask if you were good at cooking"

"Are you scared?" he grinned and scooped up the egg. "Find out yourself, now open your mouth"

"What no I....

Andy pushed the egg into her mouth as she spoke and her rebuke vanished as the egg tantalized her taste bud. "Wow"

"Yeah, there was a time when I wanted to be a chef"
