1476 Words
Alice slept peacefully in the back seat while Lisa gently held her hand, stroking her hair.
“Are you okay back there?” Liam asked as he drove.
“Yeah, I’m fine,” Lisa replied softly.
“I hope you had a great evening,” he said.
Lisa smiled quietly and muttered, “Yes.” Actually, it was Liam who made the night wonderful. The hours had flown by during their texts at the club. Though she wasn’t sure if she fully trusted him yet, at that moment, butterflies fluttered in her stomach. For once, she felt like she could open up.
They pulled up outside Lisa’s house. Alice was already awake.
“Yo, Lisa, I’m going inside,” Alice said, her voice tinged with worry. She didn’t want her friend hurt, but she gave them space, leaving Lisa and Liam alone in the cool night air.
The silence was heavy. The chilly breeze tingled on Lisa’s skin as she looked at Liam, admiring him from the corner of her eye.
“I guess this is goodnight,” she said.
Lisa admired him, but with her heart still tangled in memories of Tony, she resisted the urge to get close to Liam.
“Yeah, I guess it is,” he answered.
Slowly, the distance between them closed. She felt his warm breath brush her cheek, and the faint scent of his cologne pulled her closer. For a moment, all she wanted was to press her lips to his.
He hugged her gently and kissed her forehead with a soft, tender kiss. The temptation to reach for her lips was strong, but he held back, not wanting to take advantage of her, especially since she was still a little tipsy. He wanted to protect her.
Lisa felt a pang of disappointment that he didn’t kiss her properly, but swallowed it down. She buried the feelings stirring inside her.
Lisa couldn't hold it anymore, she wanted some heat...something sweet to keep her mind off Tony.
She led Liam back to the car, as he silently followed.
Her hand went straight to his crotch, squeezing him through the jeans. Liam sucked in a hard breath. She kissed him rough with her tongue sweeping through his mouth.
His c**k was already rock-hard.
“Backseat?” he growled against her mouth.
“No,” she said. “Right here.”
She yanked his zipper down. He shoved his seat all the way back. Lisa climbed over, dress bunched around her hips, heels still on. She pulled her panties aside with one hand, gripped his c**k with the other, and sank down fast.
With no warning or slow slide.
She took him deep in one brutal drop. Both of them hissed.
“f**k,” Liam grunted.
She didn’t answer. She just started riding him hard, fast and with no rhythm, just need. The car rocked violently, the rains outside poured harder. Suspension creaked. Windows fogged in seconds.
His hands clamped her ass, fingers digging in. She slammed down again and again. Her nails raked his shoulders through his shirt. He thrust up to meet her, rough, desperate.
“Harder,” she demanded.
He obeyed. Gripped her hips and f****d up into her with short, punishing strokes. Her head snapped back. A raw moan tore out of her throat.
She was close. He could feel her walls squeezing, fluttering and greedily holding his c**k.
He bit her neck leaving a mark.
That did it.
Lisa came with a choked cry, body shaking, thighs locked tight around him. She clenched so hard he almost lost it right then.
“Inside,” she gasped. “Come inside me. Now.”
Liam swore, hips jerking. He slammed up one last time and exploded some hot, deep pulses that made his vision blur. She kept grinding through it, milking every drop, until he was trembling and cursing under his breath.
They stayed locked together, breathing ragged, hearts slamming.
After a minute she laughed short, roughly and lifted off him slowly. Wetness slid down her thigh. She dropped back into the passenger seat, yanked her dress down, legs still shaking.
Liam stared at her, chest heaving, c**k still out, glistening.
She smirked. “Damn, that was hot...and unexpected.."
He dragged his zipper up with shaking hands.
“f**k,” he muttered. “I didn't know you had it in you too.”
He turned the key. Headlights sliced through the rain.
“I know this is sudden, but I want to offer you something,” Liam said, folding his arms like a businessman...They still trembled from the heavy s*x they just had. After staying single for a long time, Liam felt fulfilled.
“An offer? What kind?” Lisa asked cautiously.
“I want you to marry me. Just for a year. I’m about to lose a huge share of my business to rivals. My father expects me to have a bride..by the end of the week. If I don’t, my irresponsible brother, Zac, will take everything I worked hard to expand.”
He slid a contract across the table. “Afterwards, we divorce. I’ll pay you a billion as compensation.”
“A contract marriage?” Lisa echoed, stunned. “But why me?“
“Because you’re perfect for this. You can help me save my business. It’s strictly business,” he said. “Think about it..I swear I'm not taking advantage of you. You’d be doing me a huge favor.”
Lisa hesitated. “I don’t know… It seems too much.” She stared into his eyes, while adjusting her dress.
Liam’s eyes shimmered with vulnerability. “Trust me.”
Lisa’s mind raced. Could she trust him? Could this be the perfect way to get revenge on Tony and Melanie? She owed Liam her life, after all.
She gave a small, determined smile. “I’ll think about it.”
“Please do,” he said, handing her the contract. He left, his scent lingering.
“I owe him my life,” Lisa whispered.

Liam’s POV
Astonished by her confidence and grace, I watched Lisa’s eyes searching mine.
I hadn’t expected an answer yet. I just hoped she’d save me from this disaster. And the sex...Damn...
I left the office and stepped into the elevator only to see Lisa.
Her bright blue eyes caught mine, and my gaze drifted to her full, soft lips....the memory of last night flashing through my mind.
I cleared my throat, flustered.
“Hi, Mr. Styles. I was heading to your office.”
“Uh, okay. I’m not busy. Let’s sit in my office.”
She followed, every step graceful, like she floated.
Lisa settled into a chair effortlessly. She held the contract. “I have read it. I’ll accept. But one condition.”
“Tell me.” I answered calmly.
“You have to give me a fair share and stick to your word. I don’t know why you chose me, but I’ll be your bride.”
A smile broke across my face. “Anything for you, Lisa. You have my word.”
*****
Lisa’s heart pounded. Palms sweaty. Was this her biggest mistake or best move?
Fueled by thirst for vengeance, she kept her eyes on the prize: to destroy Tony’s business and career.
“Let’s start preparing. No time to waste,” Liam said, He had such a bright smile, like man who had won a lottery.
The news about their wedding broke fast.
Meanwhile, Tony and Melanie prepared their own wedding.
Melanie scrolled through her phone when a notification popped up: Lisa and Liam’s wedding announcement.
“What?! That brat’s marrying a multi billionaire? And I’m stuck with this Tony, who barely has a billion to spare? How dare she!” she spat.
Tony entered, watching Melanie pace in a luxurious gown.
“What’s wrong?”
“Your ex-wife is marrying your rival,” Melanie said.
"I also heard they have taken 60% of your investors in just an hour."
“What?!” Tony exploded. “She’s broke! She can't do this!"
Tony stormed out, calling Lisa multiple times until she answered on the fifth ring.
“What the hell is this? You’re a w***e, jumping from one man to the next! Barely a week, and now you’re marrying another? Worse, you stole my investors so quickly, how is that even possible ! I’ll get you arrested!” he screamed.
“Excuse me, I'll be arrested for what exactly? Can you even hear yourself Tony....Pathetic. ,” Lisa spat back and hung up.
“How dare she hang up on me!” Tony fumed as he paced outside his weeding venue.
Meanwhile Lisa stared in the mirror, her resolve hardening. It was only two hours and she was planning on destroying him till he was begging for mercy.
“Tony Williams..You’ll pay for everything,” she whispered.
