Lust Contracts 18+ Hunting for Love with My Three Contract Husbands

178 Possessiveness and Jealousy

I just nodded a little while thinking that it would be great if we could settle this without going into any deeper details. Of all the things, I didn’t want to discuss Brandon and the relationship that I had with him whether it was now or in the past.

“It’s fine…” I murmured.

“I heard that you had to take a break for a few days. Honestly, I’ve been very worried about you but I didn’t want to disturb your rest so I didn’t try to contact you before today,” he confessed honestly.

It didn’t surprise me that Adrian was worried about me. From my experience of being with him, I could feel that he was a genuinely caring and honest person. However, that didn’t mean that he was a simple and kind man with nothing else hidden in his package. Justin was right about everything that he had told me before. If any of these men were simple, they probably wouldn’t have ended up as my client.

“Thank you for worrying about me but I’m fine now. I just needed a little time to rest and clear my mind,” I said with a smile.

Adrian just nodded in understanding and a moment of silence settled between us. I wasn’t sure what else I wanted to say to him. He had apologized and that felt like it was enough for me. Just as I had told him, I was partly at fault. I should have been more responsible in checking that I wouldn’t end up getting my fertility test at his hospital.

“I’m honestly very relieved that you came to see me,” he said before letting out a sigh.

“I just didn’t want you to spend the whole night waiting for me,” I replied a little playfully.

My attempt at a small joke was rewarded with his charming smile. The way his green eyes stared directly at me so earnestly made my heart skip a dangerous beat in my chest. The red dress that I had on clearly wasn’t the wrong choice at all. I found myself smiling easily as I started to relax at this side.

“At first, when you went on break, I was sure that your agency would let me know that you’ve decided to terminate the contract,” he said with regretful smile.

“Did you really think that?” I asked with some surprise.

He must have felt really guilty, and I guess that served him right in a way. Adrian probably spent the past few days reflecting on his actions and that was probably why he was worried about my desire to terminate our contract.

“I did,” he replied without pause.

I had to say that I loved how honest and open he was with me. It saved a lot of time and painful effort in playing mind games and it also added to his maturity and calm which I really appreciated. Not everyone is perfect and the same applied to me and also to Adrian.

“Why did you think that?” I asked.

I wanted to know what he thought. From his point of view, I wondered what he believed would make me want to break the contract that we had. I might have been confused and swept up by his seduction and the pleasure of having sex with him at the time; however, it didn’t take a lot of effort for me to realize that the feelings behind his actions that day was probably nothing more than possessiveness and jealously. The oldest and most classic emotions in the book.

“I shouldn’t have seduced you like that. It was my fault and I’m not going to make any excuses for myself. I am sorry and I’ll try my best not to do it again,” he replied straightforwardly.

I knew that he wasn’t lying and that he had carefully selected his words to not misrepresent his intentions. In the end, I couldn’t hold my laughter in and started to giggle. The fact that he promised to try his best not to do it again rather than promising to never do it again really got to me.

“I guess possessive and jealous guys aren’t too bad…” I said before flashing him a smile.

I meant that quite honestly as well. There were much worst guys out there. The lying and completely deceptive type…

“I guess I felt that way even though I know that I wasn’t supposed to,” he mumbled.

“Emotions are usually hard to control…or so I’m told…” I said before laughing a little to lighten the mood.

“During your break, did you ever consider terminating the contract?” he asked after a moment of thought.

“Nope. It’s strange but I didn’t think that far, I guess…” I replied quite honestly.

“Well, not thinking that far usually isn’t a good thing, but in this case, I’m thankful that you didn’t think that far, and I should thank you for it,” Adrian replied.

“Well, terminating the contract is going to cost me a hefty sum that I don’t have. Plus, I’ve still got a mountain of debt to pay off if you remember…” I said without any sense of shame or guilt.

“I guess you’re right about that,” he said with a nod of his head.

Another moment of silence settled in between us; however, this time it wasn’t the awkward kind that we had to struggle to fill with worthless conversation. The silence between us seemed peaceful like we were both just content with enjoying each other’s company and closeness even if we didn’t exchange words.

“Elena, about your debt…” Adrian said before he seemed to hesitate.

“You can just ignore what I just said. Pretend that you don’t know because you’re not supposed to know about it,” I said before laughing it off.

I wasn’t sure what Adrian was about to say but I was glad that he didn’t say it. No matter what he had in mind, it would be nothing but trouble for me and my life was already more complicated than I would have liked it to be. I turned to smiled at him and he seemed willing to just drop the topic.
