The Royal Contract

Chapter 879: Until

“Dani, you know what I mean.” Alex sighed frustratedly upon learning what his wife was planning. “This would only end up badly.” He insisted, not agreeing with her suggestion.

He glanced at his wife from the other side of the car as he drove them home. She was still busy thinking about her plan, and he could tell she was not ready to give it up. Not yet.

One thing that he loved and hated about her was her stubbornness. Once she had her mind set on something, she would not just let it go that easily. She would fight for it until she had achieved her goal.

“I have to try. I think my friend is better off with Adam.” Dani would not give up on her friend. She still believed she could do something to open her eyes to the truth. Haley did not deserve a man like Gerald.

She turned her head at the view outside, finding the darkness eerie. She used to look at nighttime as something mysterious. She always thought the cold breeze carried magic in the air.

But now, the shadows gave her the creeps. It reminded her of all the terrible things that could happen in the dark. And what would happen to her friend if she continued a relationship with her brother?

She did not want that for her friend. She would like to save her friend from herself and her terrible decisions if her friend would only let her. So far, her friend had not listened to reason, not to her, their friends, or her brother, Marcus.

.....

Her friend had allowed her heart to dictate her life, blinding her from the terrible possibilities of associating herself with a dangerous man. He might seem to be a good man, but he was not. He would only hurt her friend and put her life in danger.

“You could not force her to like someone. She already told you that she is in love with him.” Alex could see that his wife only had good intentions, but he felt she was fighting a losing battle.

As much as he wanted to help his wife in her crusade to protect every troubled soul in this world, they could not. They could only rescue those who were willing to save themselves.

In the case of their friend, there was nothing they could do. She had already decided to stick with him, no matter what they had told her. Alex believed there was nothing else they could do.

“I am not forcing her. I am just showing her that she has options.” Dani turned to her husband and studied his face.

Compared to her friend, she was lucky to end up with a decent man. She could tell the world with a head held high that she had a good man by her side.

Dani doubted her friend could do that when the truth finally revealed itself. She would not trust him with her life even if she shared the same blood as her brother. Haley would soon realize the same thing.

“And you think that Adam is a better option. But what do you know about the man?” Alex asked her. “For all we know, he had a secret as long as the Nile river.” He could not help the skepticism in his voice, but Dani had to listen to him.

He slowed down the car once they had parked and turned to his wife. He could see that she was thinking about what he had said. He hoped that she would finally take his unsolicited advice.

“I know that he used to be my friend. But that was a long time ago. Many might have changed during those times I have not seen him.” Alex continued.

He was not discouraging his wife from pursuing to help her friend. But he wanted her to tread lightly. He feared Dani might be pushing something that was not her concern anymore.

“I guess you are right.” Dani sighed as they entered their apartment, feeling defeated.

She could see Alex’s point of view. Thinking about it, she could see why it would seem like she was obsessing about Haley’s relationship with Gerald.

But honestly, she felt guilty because she was the one who introduced them. But in her defense, she did not know at the time that Gerald was her brother and the devil himself.

“You know I am right.” Alex went straight to the kitchen while she sat on the couch, resting her head on the backrest. “Would you like some light snack?” Alex offered as he handed her a glass of water.

She touched her belly, feeling the heaviness of her body. She had her dinner at the office, so she was still full. She declined her husband’s offer and just closed her eyes to relax.

“I think I know what you want.” Alex took the glass from her hands and sat right next to her.

Soon, he arranged her in a lying position, putting a throw pillow on her head and then letting her feet lay across his lap. Afterward, his fingers worked on her feet, starting with her toes, as he pressed gently on her tightened skin.

“That feels so good.” She uttered in satisfaction, following with several moans, biting her lips to stop herself from making more noises.

After a long day of sitting and standing in the office, she badly needed these relaxing massages. And Alex knew what the doctor had ordered as he worked his magic fingers on relieving her of her stressful day.

She made a mental note to return the favor once she had given birth. But for now, she was taking advantage of her situation, enjoying every minute Alex treated her like a Queen.

“I can do more than just make you feel good.” He muttered suggestively, teasing her with his touch and his seductive voice.

“What are you waiting for?” She challenged him, forgetting everything that had happened today but only concentrating on the now.

His hands started crawling upward, massaging her calf until it reached her legs. Then, he pulled her back into a sitting position, letting her straddle him on the sofa.

Soon, he had allowed her to take the lead, giving her the reins as she pushed herself on top of him. Pregnancy might have some disadvantages, but the pros more than compensate for its flaws.

Soon, she was moaning to her heart’s content, giving everything she could while taking what he offered. She could not wait for the culmination of their climax, exhilarated by the height of their lovemaking.

Until.
