The Devil CEO's Contract Wife novel Chapter 134

Chapter 134: No Escape

CATHERINE

My pussy and thighs are scorching. My chest, throat, and eyes had the same sensation too. My head is pounding, and I think every time my eyelid grows heavy, I’m close to La La land.

I want to end everything, stop all this before it gets too late, but I’m conflicted with myself. This whole thing is freaking me out. I don’t wanna be caught in whatever shit this is, but a greedy part of me still needed that money.

Gramps may have been questioning my income, but I have never heard him so vibrant. Granny was back to growing her garden again, this time without pressure.

The thought of ripping that hope from them broke me more. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"You’re forgetting something, baby."

Ares’ words pulled me out of it, and against my better judgment, I shifted my gaze from my hands to him.

"The first contract never mentioned a termination except by the husband."

I drew in sharply in my breath.

"And the sex contract. I told you to say the words like you mean it. Do you know what that entails?"

Everything was clashing on me all at once, and I couldn’t keep up. It became very clear at that moment.

I can’t escape Ares, not yet. Just nine more months in this, and then I would walk away without looking back.

When I didn’t reply, he stood to his feet, still glistening in sweat, the droplets running down the hard-toned lines of his biceps and abs.

I feel sick with myself for being drawn to him despite my dilemma. My pussy was throbbing like it wanted his lips there again, a destructive warmth taking over me, and I couldn’t help it as tears fell again.

What have become of you, Catherine Lane? Have you become so consumed by this man that you can’t even think straight anymore?

Ares rested his hand on the sofa and took my chin. "I’m not done with you yet. Termination is not an option."

What will be left of me after?

I looked away, not having the strength to be soaked in those blue eyes. They chilled my bones.

Nico was back with a new shirt for Ares. After handing it over, I felt Nico’s gaze on me before he left. I just want to spend my time here being invisible and try to stay levelheaded.

"Will you give me a hand, baby?"

Ares pulled on the tie, and I stood to my feet. He undid the knot and freed my wrists.

Trembling, I buttoned his shirt. I was slow, and I kept making mistakes, but Ares didn’t seem to mind.

I was in the middle of buttoning his vest when he took my hand.

"Are you shaking from fright, or from the influence of your orgasm?"

I moved my stern gaze to him, and a slow smirk tugged at his lips as if he got an answer to that question.

"Both."

I tried to pull away, but he yanked me close. Pushing the messy curls of my hair behind, taking his time until it no longer sticks to my face.

"I much prefer the latter, though." He leaned in for a kiss.

"Mr. King, Miss Athena is on her way," Reed said at the door.

I peeled myself away from him that moment. Ares wore his jacket, and he led me out.

"There you are! I have been looking everywhere for you!" Athena’s high-pitched voice came through as well as a snappy click-clack of her heels.
