The Greek Billionaire’s Indecent Proposal
Chapter 13

Soraya’s POV

“Raya I cannot believe that you are a mom, it’s incredible hey, and Kai is so precious.” Stacy smiled at me as we sat on the loungers by the pool area. The men had gone down to the game room to help Kai build the fort. “I think that Hector is quite taken with him, I wouldn’t be surprised if he declared that we are ready for a baby.” She rolled her eyes making me chuckle.

“When I found out that I was pregnant I think I was so terrified, I felt like I wasn’t ready but the moment the nurses put Kai in my arms I forgot all about my fears. Nothing else mattered.” I sighed and smiled.

“Between Xander, Hector and his grandmothers, I don’t know who will spoil him the most. Xander’s mother will be so overjoyed.” She said.

My facial expression must have changed because she frowned at me in question. “Do you know what this family does Stace?”

“You mean the fact that Xander is the head of this mafia family? I had to accept it Raya because I love Hector.”

“So you are okay with the fact that your husband does bad things probably to innocent people? What is it that they do? Is it drugs? Pushing women into prostitution?” I couldn’t help but sound snarky and rude about it.

“It’s nothing like that, I can’t explain it to you, you will have to ask Xander about it.”

“I don’t want to ask him, I’m asking you. You know he’s bullying me into marrying him, he’s threatened to take Kai away from me. I know what the law does for people with bottomless pockets of money, I might work in corporate but I know a few things about family law.”

“I understand your frustration but it’s for your own protection Raya. You have no idea how dangerous…”

“His enemies are? Yeah I keep hearing that. I came back home to take care of my parents, not join some criminal family. He is the one that puts our lives at risk and why would I want to be with a ruthless arrogant man that brings bimbos around his son. I mean am I supposed to never fall in love and just stay in a loveless marriage?” I said trying really hard to make her understand like she could get me out of this situation, reality was that she couldn’t. No one could.

“You loved him once, are you telling me all those feelings are gone? I see the way he looks at you, the way you look at each other. You still love each other.” She said which shocked me.

“Xander doesn’t love me, he never loved me. You must have really terrible memory because I told you what happened between us was a one night stand, he was quick to remind me of that” I reminded her.

“Raya a few months after you left for New York, Xander came looking for you. He had me approach your parents about where you were but they wouldn’t tell me. He searched a lot of law firms databases looking for you but you were not employed at any of them. I started to assume that maybe you lied about replace a job in New York and I didn’t understand why.” She looked sad.

“It was probably to check that I wasn’t pregnant, he told me the other day that he knew that the condom we used broke but He kept it to himself.” I rolled my eyes.

“What? For real? Look Raya, I don’t know about all that but what I do know is that Xander has been through so much, I think he is just sad, that’s why he acts like he doesn’t care but he cares about you.” She tried to convince me.

“Is that why he had his tongue jammed down Leticia’s throat?”

“Leticia is…Leticia.” She rolled her eyes. “I guess you had to leave for him to realise that he cares for you. He drinks a lot hey, it’s like he’s trying to replace something in every rock bottom. There’s a lot of things I cannot tell you Raya, Xander has to tell you himself but this family is good and loving. My mother in law is the best and wait until you meet your mother in law, Kai will never want for anything.”

“But he was never lacking anything.” Now I have put his life in danger.” I couldn’t help but worry.

“Everything will be fine, I know he hurt you all those years ago but you both have another chance to get it right this time and you have a cute little bundle of joy bringing you together. Give him a chance, you don’t know how bad he has wanted a family Raya.” She looked so concerned and sad like she was about to reveal something about Xander that I didn’t know but changed her mind.

Xander’s POV

Kai had fallen asleep on the sofa, he was soo energetic and always talking and laughing. I attributed that to Soraya’s nurturing. She encouraged him to ask questions and she would joke around and act silly with him. Her big blue eyes would glow as she laughed at something he said or as she talked to him, her eyes drove me crazy, I would just sit there and fantasise about how her pupils had dilated almost covering those beautiful sapphire orbs when we made love and she had been hit by pleasure waves over and over again.

Having her at the apartment without being able to touch her or be intimate with her was hard, I wanted her so badly that every night I found myself taking a cold shower just to control the urge, not that the cold showers helped because my dreams were always haunted by her angelic face, her m***s and beautiful body.

I watched her brush some curls out of Kai’s face affectionately. “Let me carry him to bed.” I said quietly. She looked up like she had forgotten that I was in the room with them and my voice had just reminded her. I got up and picked him up gently. His head on my shoulders as I carried him upstairs. She followed behind me, when we got to his room she pulled the covers back from the bed and I lay him down. She busied herself tucking him in then she kissed his forehead.

“Thank you.” She turned to face me.

“Tomorrow we can go to your parents place. We should step out and talk about it.” I said to her. Her face clouded. She always had to make talking so difficult.

We walked back downstairs. “I know that your father is sick so I want to help with that, I can help.”

“He’s already on a treatment course.” She said.

“But since you will be moving with me your mother will still need help, they can move to California with us and have full protection?”

“I don’t think my parents will want to leave peaceful Phoenix for California. Why is it that people’s lives must change to suit your needs, to accommodate you! Did it ever cross your mind that it might be a strain for them!” She snapped.

“I am doing this for everyone’s safety!” I growled at her. Usually my temper had the required effect on people. They were too scared of me and never argued back but not Soraya, she was so defiant. I just wanted to carry her upstairs to my room and punish her for it, the kind of punishment that would have her begging me to give her release. For a moment I pictured her with her hands bound on my bed wearing nothing but a white silk night dress. I clenched my jaw. I closed my eyes to get rid of the image, when I opened them she was looking at me curiously as if she was questioning where my mind had just went. I relaxed my voice and spoke calmly. “This is for everyone’s safety.”

“It’s for your own selfish needs! Just like the selfish need to have your mistress up in here where your son can see.” She hissed at me. “I’m not going to marry you! You might as well tear up that marriage license.”

“I guess you can go back to your parents house then.” I said to her.

“I’m not going anywhere without my son!”

“If you are so upset about Leticia, that can be fixed. She leaves my bed and I have you.” I said looking her dead in the eyes.

Her eyes threw daggers at me. “You wish!”

“Don’t you get lonely at night angel, don’t you crave for my touch.” I asked, watching her breath halt as her cheeks turned red. “Remember when you whispered in my ear that you wanted me just as badly as I had wanted you..”

“Stop talking! I’m not like one of your little tramps that you can just summon when you want to scratch your itch.”

I walked towards her, and she glared at me. “How long has it been since you have been touched, don’t tell me. The thought of another man touching you is enough to make me want to kill” I said as I went even closer to her. Slowly she started to back away only to be trapped between me and the coffee table.

“I’m not your property Xander, if I want to have another man touch me and please me, I will do just that.”

“And I won’t be held responsible for what I might do to the man who touches you.” I said to her, my voice low and threatening. My hand went up and my fingers grabbed her chin gently, she stood frozen to the spot as my fingers traveled down her neck, slowly tracing up and down, her eyes closed and lips parted just a little. My hand closed around her neck and her breath caught.

“In fact I want to kill every man who has touched you after me.” I leaned forward and whispered in her ear. Without thinking I went in for a k**s, her hands went up to push me away but it was like she wasn’t even trying to. A m**n escaped her lips and her arms dropped to the side.

Soraya POV

This man infuriated me and turned me on at the same time. The way he looked at me was enough to wet my underwear. As he carried on kissing me, I gave him entry and slowly his tongue slid into my mouth. So many memories came flooding into mind as we kissed. For a moment I forgot how angry I was then I remembered that just this afternoon he had been kissing another woman. I tugged at his bottom l*p and pressed my teeth down to bite him then pulled away as he composed himself.

He cussed under his breath and wiped the little bit of b***d that I had drawn, I took the opportunity to free myself and walk towards the stairs. “Im pretty sure Leticia wont mind finishing where we left off.” I said then ran upstairs. I went into Kai’s room and locked the door behind me. I didn’t feel threatened at all, I was irritated because even after watching him k**s that stupid bimbo Leticia, I still wanted him. My body craved his touch when he came closer to me. The way he smelled was intoxicating, his coy sexy smile drove me into some sort of frenzy. I just wanted him to carry me up to his room and make love to me all night.

I sighed and sank to the floor, sitting against the door and hugging my knees to my body. How could I dislike and like this man at the same time. I could still feel the shame from when he took out his wallet and counted the bills to pay me for s*x all those years ago. Every time a man had approached me and wanted to take me out to dinner or date me, fear would creep into me that they would hurt me the way Xander had, made me feel so cheap the way he had. So I never agreed to any dates, all I ever focussed on was my son and work.

I thought about my parents and how I would explain the fact that I would be getting married to Xander, I sighed heavily. If it was for Kai’s safety then it seemed I had no choice, I also couldn’t let Xander take him away from me. I knew Xander would deliver on his threat and take Kai away. So tomorrow I would have to put on my best act to convince my parents that spending these past few days with Xander had rekindled our non existent relationship and we were so much in love.
