Contract with the Billionaire

ALEXANDER’S POV The sun threatened to blind my eyes as the curtains in my room were abruptly moved and my deep slumber interrupted. A deep groan escapes my lips as I slowly open my eyes, trying to get my eyes accustomed to the bright light. “Wake up Sleepy head” Gabrielle, my fiancee, flops into the bed beside me, earning a small chuckle from me. I pull up and wrap my arms around her, cuddling and snuggling into her chest. “Can I have five more minutes? I’m really tired” I mutter softly, still slightly sleepy, a small grunt escapes my lips as I cuddle her She places her hand on my chest and pushes herself up. “Nope! You asked for five minutes an hour ago, you have to get up, you are going to be late for work” She states, rolling off the me and off the bed, tugging the duvet off my body. I let out a child-like whine as she tugs it off completely. “You’re mean” I pout, crossing my arms earning a giggle from her. She climbs back on the bed and places a small kiss on lips. “Come on, get up now, you’re going to be late for work” She whines again, pulling my arm. “Gabby, I own the company, I can get there at anytime and I can choose not to go” I state swinging my feet off the bed. “It doesn’t matter Alex! What if there is an emergency of some sort” Now it was her turn to pout and a smile graces my lips. “Okay Boss wife” I tease “I would go to work, but only because you asked nicely” I mutter and heat rushes to her cheeks, making a small blush. “Wife?” She squeaks and she looks at me through her lashes. “Come on baby, we get married in six months, I should get used to calling you that, don’t you think?” I state, earning a giggle from her. “Well…. Husband…” She trails shyly “You gotta get ready for work, so…” She palms my chest lightly “Go have a bath…you stink” She teases, scrunching her nose. “Can I get a kiss at least?” I hum, closing the distance between us, she swings her head to side “Nope, you don’t get a kiss until you have your bath and brush your teeth” She smiles. “Oh come on….” I whine. “No…. you’ve got bad morning breath” She scrunches her nose again as she tries to wiggle out of my hold. I place a hand on my chest feigning to be hurt. “You hurt my feelings” I pout earning another chuckle from her. “Don’t be a cry baby” She sticks out her tongue. “Now you have to pacify me…or else…?” I trail off. “Or else what?” She challenges and I begin to tickle her. She squirms and tries to wiggle out of my hold but I hold her still. Her screams and high laughter fill the air, putting a smile on my face. “Are you gonna do it?” “Okay…. Okay fine!” She screams and I stop. She pulls my head down, making my lips come crashing down on hers, I let her lead the kiss for a while, before I take over, deepening the kiss, licking her bottom lip to ask for access. She pulls away and shakes her head. “Nuh huh, that’s all you get. Now. Get. Into. The. Bathroom” She states, pushing me into the bathroom and handing me a towel. “Would you come bath with me?” I pout. “I would love to, but I have to go help your mother with breakfast” She explains and I groan. “Can’t you help her later?” I ask and she shakes her head placing her hands on her waist. “Fine” I roll my eyes before shutting the bathroom door. I step into the bathtub, seeing as she had already set a bath for me. I throw in a bath bomb before settling into the warm water. This is why she must have insisted that I took my bath. She wanted me to see that she had prepared a bath for me. I smirk running the soap through my body. It would have been so much better if she joined me. Now the bath is not so enjoyable. I let out a sigh as thoughts of her run through my mind. I do love Gabrielle a lot. She’s the one person that gets me better than anyone, and I would not trade that for anything else. Now I don’t want to stay away from her for too long. I rush my bath and brush my teeth, wiping my body with towel she had given me. I’m distracted by the buzzing of my phone. “Bass” I speak into the phone. “Young” My assistant responds through the phone. “What’s up?” “The liberal Investors are here sir. They are requesting to see you in an hour” She informs me and I sigh. “Tell them I’ll be there soon” I instruct, throwing my phone back on the bed. I enter into my walk in closet to see the suit Gabrielle had prepared for me to wear and I throw it on. Wearing them as fast as I could, I grab my phone rushing out of the room. I hear a small chatter in the kitchen and I walk towards it but the next words I hear stop me in my tracks. “It wouldn’t take long before we take him out and take over the company. He’s completely smitten with me” I hear Gabriella’s voice from behind the door. “The quicker the better Gabby, it’s already taking too long as it is. Can’t we just move the wedding closer? Six months is too long” I hear my mom’s voice and my eyes widen. I blink slowly as I can barely believe my ears. “We would draw suspicions if we do that, and there’s no need to rush, if you ask me, I think we have got what we want already. His father is sick right now. What’s the worst that could happen?” She states and I decided that I have heard enough. I place my phone in my chest pocket before walking out of the house.
