Contractually Yours: The Billionaire's Unlikely Bride
Chapter 116: FAILED SEDUCTION

Chapter 116: Chapter 116: FAILED SEDUCTION

Briar picked a white nightdress from the drawer and matching underwear before going to the bathroom where she filled the tub and added some bath salts as well as some bathing medicine.

There was no need to neutralize the effects of the medicine by adding a foam bath or having a bubble bath, so once everything was added in, she stripped off the clothes that she was wearing and climbed into the tub for a well-deserved soak.

Meanwhile, downstairs, Logan alighted from the car and looked a bit weary.

It had been a long day for him and all he wanted was rest.

Checking the time, he knew that his young wife and his kids should be in their respective rooms.

Unlike other families who stay together for a very long time and watch TV during weekends until midnight, his family wasn’t like that.

The latest that they might be found in the living room would be ten at night. Most times, they retire to bed before that since Tiana’s sleeping time was before nine. So, everyone, especially the kids, just retires to bed or to their rooms around the same time as well.

Without the kids to hang around with, Briar wouldn’t spend much time in the living room, so she would retire to the bedroom where she would watch TV or play with the tablet or phone depending on what she felt like doing.

However, at this time, he just hoped that he would find her awake. It’s been a while since he just had a proper conversation with her.

When he entered the house, Uncle Marcus welcomed him and there were no signs of Briar or his children.

Uncle Marcus, seeing that, smiled at Logan as he explained, "Master, the madam just brought the kids to sleep a while ago. She might still be with the youngest miss."

When Logan heard that, he gave the butler a glimpse before nodding at him while continuing to walk ahead.

The knowledge that she might not be sleeping put him at ease. After all, he needed to tell her something. If she was sleeping, how could he tell her?

He didn’t want to share that kind of news in the morning and catch her unaware.

Logan took the elevator upstairs and walked towards the bedroom with anticipation.

However, when he stepped into the bedroom, there was no one on the bed.

’Where is she?’ he wondered as he looked around, but then he noticed that the light of the bathroom was light and the sound of water splashing could be heard.

’Oh~ she should be bathing!’ he concluded as he swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple rolling as familiar thoughts graced him with a visit.

Logan chuckled helplessly as he felt his body getting overwhelmed once again. In the end, he walks towards the closet to find something to change into while he waits for her to come out.

Meanwhile, inside the bathroom, after soaking herself in the tub and extracting the medicinal effects in the water, she drained the bathing water and went for a shower to get rid of the medicine residue on her body.

As she took the shower, she heard the door opening, and a smile blossomed on her face.

In the whole house, in the mornings and at night, only she and her husband could enter the room without knocking.

Considering the time, Briar knew that it was Logan who had returned home. She couldn’t help but smile beautifully. At least tonight, she would be able to shake him a bit.

Her body had undergone rigorous treatments earlier. She looked wonderful.

She turned off the shower and took her time to dry her body. She didn’t dare be rough with her actions lest she cause her skin to be irritated.

Once that was done, she wore her underwear and nightwear and didn’t bother with the lotion.

If anything were to happen at night, she didn’t want her man to eat lotion. Who knows what kind of chemicals they add in there?

Besides, her body has a nice fragrance. Why bother adding other things, especially at night?

After doing so, she wiped the floor and washed her hands before leaving the bathroom.

As soon as she got out, she came across Logan who was holding his pajamas in hand while wearing a robe.

She couldn’t help but size him as her naught mind wondered, ’Is he wearing anything beneath there?’

If so, she didn’t mind ripping it off him and ...

She hurriedly shook her head inwardly as she smiled at him bashfully and called out to him coyly, "Hubby! You are back!"

Logan chuckled helplessly as he witnessed Briar’s change in expression. This little girl couldn’t even hide her naught thoughts in her mind. Just looking at her pretending made his heart feel an itch.

He walked towards her without saying a thing and she looked at him shyly as she tugged the hem of her short nightdress.

As he walked towards her, he couldn’t help but notice her new taste in clothing. It’s been like this for probably two nights. He liked it, to be honest. He could tell that she was doing her best, and that made his heart feel at ease.

Having a woman who claims she loves you more than anything else and yet didn’t show any reactions was the scariest.

She might be shy, but she was busy trying to make some moves in her own way. How could he not be touched?

Briar watched as he came closer to her and her heart was thumping like crazy.

’Is it the day?’ she couldn’t help but wonder as her gaze remained locked on his as she licked her lips nervously.

Unfortunately, she was doomed to be disappointed.

Logan reached her and held her waist as he looked at her with a doting smile and said coaxingly, "Dear wait for me in bed. I will go and take a bath," before he passed her going to the bathroom.

Briar remained frozen in place as she was in disbelief.

Where was her kiss? Not even a single teasing.

She looked at the nightwear she was wearing, which showed what should be shown, and felt deflated.

’Should I try the lace nightwear next time?’

As she walked towards the bed, several thoughts began to swirl in her mind. She didn’t think that he wouldn’t be tempted if he could see her skin throughout. She refused to believe it.

Meanwhile, inside the bathroom, Logan found himself standing under the cold shower as he panted while his eyes remained closed and a certain image of his young wife repeatedly appeared in his mind.

The other night, he didn’t see her clearly since she was in bed already, but tonight wasn’t the case. What could be seen when someone was sleeping was different when being seen in full form.

He didn’t know where she got such a killer nightgown. Although it didn’t expose all of her skin, the parts that he had seen were enough to drive him crazy.

As he walked towards her, he knew what he wanted to do, but as he came closer to her; he held himself back.

He didn’t want to take her like that. He wanted to give her a special moment. Before making her his completely, he was going to fulfil the tradition. And everything was ready, so waiting for hours wouldn’t kill, right?

With that in mind, he successfully managed to stop himself from tearing that gown off her body.

As a result, he was suffering alone and the thought of sharing the same bed while dressed like that, he cursed under his breath.

’I guess I will repay her for this torture every single night from now on!’

He had tried his best to contain himself. Others might not know, but it’s been years since he got intimate with a woman.

Before, because of his loyalty to Selena and his fear of being intimate with a woman today, only for her to appear at his house proclaiming pregnancy and cause havoc in his family, he didn’t tangle with women or touch them.

The woman he last slept with was Selena. It was unfortunate that despite all that, she still preferred someone else and made him raise another man’s child.

Anyway, Briar could be considered his second woman. And since he chose her, he was going with her all the way, thus the patience even though it was killing him.

To repay her love, her loyalty and the hard work and effort she put in for him and his family, giving her a special first time, wouldn’t kill. Even if he has to torture himself to do that, he is willing to sacrifice this for her.

She deserved it.

It took him a while before he was feeling much better, though he knew pretty well that once he joined her on that bed, the problem would surface once again.

Anyway, regardless of what would happen, he still stepped out of the bathroom wearing pajama bottoms without any top.

His wife loved caressing his chest whenever they were sleeping. He didn’t want to make things difficult for her later, although it kills him.

Who made him spoil her so much like that?
