Contract Marriage With Alpha Snow - Chapter 278

Chapter 278: His Visit Chapter 278: His Visit *************** CHAPTER 278 ~Zara’s POV~ We reached our peaks together, his name tumbling from my lips as he filled me with his essence.

His hands cradled my face, his forehead resting against mine.

“You are the most precious thing in this world to me, Zara,” he breathed, his gaze searching mine.

Deep down, I nodded, not trusting my voice because he was all I wanted.

I kissed him again, this time gently, just like he did.

His body shuddered as the last wave of his orgasm washed over him.

He pulled me close, his arms wrapping around me.

My head rested against his chest, his heartbeat thundering in my ear.

The steady rhythm soothed me, and I felt myself relax, the day’s fatigue finally catching up.

As the night unfolded, our connection deepened, the bond between us stronger than ever.

It wasn’t just passion-it was love and trust.

The warmth of his arm wrapped around me and his steady breathing against my hair brought me a sense of peace I hadn’t felt in weeks.

“I needed this,” I murmured, tracing small circles on his chest.

“So did I,” he replied softly, pressing a kiss to my temple.

I closed my eyes, letting his warmth envelop me.

“Snow?” “Yes, love?” “Thank you,” I whispered.

“For what?” “For loving me this much.” Snow pulled me closer, his hand stroking my back soothingly.

“It’s impossible not to.” I smiled, looking into Snow’s eyes.

“Is that so?” He wriggled his brows playfully.

“Hmm.

I said to make me breathless.

I wasn’t expecting a slow€¦”  He cut me off before I could finish.

“You said to make you breathless, and I did love.

I made love to you and not just mindless fucking.” My smile grew into a faint blush as Snow pressed a soft kiss to the top of my head.

“I love you and that’s what matters.” “Love you more, honey.” “I love you most.”  “I smiled at him, knowing I may win.

“To infinity and beyond.”  “To eternity, babe.” “Forever, honey.” My smile broadened.  “And ever, my love.” “Kisses.” I pressed my lips against his swiftly before pulling back.” “Looks like I won.

I got the last word.”  “No, I did,” I argued.

Snow had a slow smile on his face.

“Sleep, love.

You need it.” “Will you be here when I wake up?” I asked, fighting to keep my eyes open.

“I promise.” Those were the last words I heard before sleep claimed me, and for the first time in weeks, I slept without any nightmares plaguing my dreams.

And tonight, he reminded me that I was his.

Forever.

When I woke, the morning sun was streaming through the window, bathing the room in golden light.

I yawned and stretched, a smile playing on my lips.

The night before had been everything and more.

It was perfect.

But, where was Snow?

“Morning, love,” he purred, walking out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his waist.

I bit back a groan.

He looked even sexier in the daylight.

“Good morning,” I greeted.

“Couldn’t wait for me to join you?” I purred in the best seductive waking-up voice.

“Hmm,” he hummed, his hand stroking the stubble on his chin.

“But, there’s someone here who’d love to see you.” My brow furrowed.

“Who?” “Come and find out,” he grinned.

I slipped on a robe and padded out into the living room.

My eyes widened when I saw a familiar face sitting at the table, eating breakfast.

“Golden God?” I muttered, blinking to clear my vision.

“Hello, love,” he purred, a devilish smile spreading across his lips.

I stood there, utterly dumbfounded, as Golden God-or Xavier, as he hated being called-grinned at me from across the table and then to Snow and back again, still trying to wrap my head around the situation.

His blond hair fell effortlessly over his shoulders, his piercing blue eyes glinting with mischief.

What the hell was going on?

“Golden God?” I repeated.

“Yes, it’s me,” he grinned.

“What are you doing here?

You came concerning Shadow…” “Why are you so surprised?” he asked, cutting me off as he placed his phone down and turned in my direction.

“Well, I…” He smiled once more.

“Relax.

I just wanted to see the lady making the almighty Alpha’s heart beat.” My face flushed at his compliment and Snow’s low growl broke me out of my trance.

He was standing just behind me, his arms crossed over his bare chest, a towel still wrapped around his waist.

“Xavier,” Snow said, his tone dripping with annoyance.

“Don’t push your luck.” “What?” Xavier smirked, leaning back in his chair.

“I’m just being polite.

Can’t a man compliment a beautiful woman without being accused of ulterior motives?” “Not when it’s my wife,” Snow shot back, his voice sharp.

I sighed, rolling my eyes at the playful banter-or, more accurately, Snow’s possessive annoyance and Xavier’s sheer determination to provoke him.

“Xavier,” I said, stepping forward, “what are you doing here?

And don’t give me that ‘just visiting’ nonsense.

I figured you don’t exactly do casual drop-ins.” His grin widened as he leaned his elbows on the table, resting his chin on his steepled fingers.

“Ah, Zara, always so perceptive.

You’re right, of course.

I’m not here for pleasantries.” “Then spit it out,” Snow said impatiently, moving past me to sit across from Xavier.

His towel-clad appearance didn’t seem to faze him in the slightest.

Xavier gestured toward the spread of breakfast on the table.

“Can I finish my eggs first?

It’s been a long night.” “Xavier,” Snow growled, and the warning in his tone was unmistakable.

“Fine, fine,” Xavier relented, pushing his plate aside.

His playful demeanour shifted slightly, his expression turning more serious.

“I came to update you on what I’ve found regarding the mess you’re tangled in.” Snow leaned forward, his full attention now on Xavier.

I took a seat beside him, my curiosity piqued despite the underlying tension.

“Let’s start with the obvious,” Xavier began, his tone dropping.

“Shadow Clave isn’t working alone.

From what I’ve uncovered, they’re part of a larger network-a sort of underground alliance.”
