—JENNIFER—“ Shut the fucking hell up. “ He growled, pressing me mercifully into the wall and him which had me wincing.“Why do you like getting yourself in danger?? “ “Ah!! Leave me. “ I winced again as a wave of dread in my spine. “ Why?? You wanted answers, com'on!! Ask now. “ He gritted through his teeth. My brows furrowed in annoyance and jaws went clenched as I tried to push him away. But his hold was stronger for me to break free. The proximity was thrilling. “ You are an asshole.” I chewed out with a glare and his angry frown disappeared instantly. His hold on me loosened as he stared at me. He pulled his hands away from my arms and placed them on either side of my head while resting his forehead against mine. I went still and all I could hear was both of our loud heartbeats and heavy breathes echoing in sync with each other as we both kept staring at each other. His strong cologne filled my lungs as I felt his his hot breaths teasing my skin. Inhaling deeply he pulled a
—JENNIFER—WHEN I didn't budge from my place due to a battle going inside me over if I should do it or not, he mouthed ‘Com'on’ and I found myself walking towards him. Thankfully his legs were getting into the way to keep me at safe distance from him as I started working his tie with shaking hands. His closeness always does stupid things to me. His eyes were fixated on my face while I tried my best to not look up and focus on the tie. I could hardly reach his neck, partly because of his height which was even more now because of the stool and partly because of his legs. But for me, it was like a blessing because I could stay at a safe distance. Now we can't trust the hulk in him when he's already angry. The phone call was disconnected and he threw the ear phone on the counter once again.“Calm down princess!! you aren't defusing a bomb. It's just a tie.“ He said, holding my shaking hands while opening his legs. Clearly inviting me to go and stand between his legs. My heart thumped
—JENNIFER—“ Thank you so much.” I said my 5389264th ‘Thank you’ while suppressing the urge to bark a ‘Fuck off’ instead in the answer of anyone's ‘congratulations’. If I had known receptions are this much shitty to tolerate, I would have never gotten married. But again, I didn't have the option in the first place. I sighed loudly when the old couple who had been talking with us left. “ Fucking heels!! “ I muttered, shifting my weight from one leg to another continuously. “ Why did you wear them in the first place?? “ Christian snorted beside me. “ Because of you, Mister. “ I accused, giving him a stink eye while pointing my index finger at him. “ Excuse me?? “ He raised both his eyebrows, demanding an explanation while turning to face me. “ Will you be okay with the news highlighting my comfy cheap sneakers paired with this expansive charming gown?? “ I squinted my eyes at him. “ If I was you, I wouldn't give two fucks about news over my comfort. “ He answered, stuffing his h
—JENNIFER—A woman in her late forties dressed in an expensive dress and a complimenting handbag was walking towards us like a Queen. A big smile spread on her lips as she kept her eyes trained on Christian. I sighed in annoyance. “ There we go again.” I suddenly winced in surprise when Christian grabbed my arm harshly. “ Let's go!” He said while taking a step in the opposite direction from the woman. “ Wha- No. It's rude. A thank you wouldn't take much. “ I said, trying to free my arm when my eyes caught his face. His jaws were clenched and the vein in his forehead was ticking like a time bomb. His eyes were deadly glued on the woman, coming towards us. “ Is anything-“ How are you, Son? “ Before I could ask, the woman was standing before us with a big cheeky smile. “ Won't you introduce me to my daughter-in-law?? “ She asked him and my face snapped towards her at the speed of light. Daughter-in-law??I turned to Christian who didn't say anything but his glare was clearly scre
—JENNIFER—My cheeks turned red because of all the unholy thoughts that had been trying to enter into my head since he invaded my personal space. Or might I say, he made me invade his personal space. I couldn't even move and just stayed frozen in my place as he rested his face into my neck while hugging me. “ You are impossible!!” He spoke up after a minute or two and seemed to return to his normal state. “ What?? “ I asked, confused by his comment as he pulled himself back and faced me. FROM CLOSE!! I didn't know where to look. His eyes were distracting and his lips were distracting even more. Don't even get me started with the protrusion on his throat. Kill me, please. “ You were just telling your husband about your thousands of crushes. “ He gave me a look of disbelief and in a hurry to distract myself from his features, I didn't realise my next words before they were out. “Why?? Are you jealous?? “ I clamped my mouth shut immediately and looked away. I could feel his hot
—CHRISTIAN—The door of the elevator opened and Jennifer instantly ran towards the door, pushed it open, ran inside and locked herself up inside her room. I stared at her actions while suppressing the urge to laugh out loud. This is how she has been behaving since we've left the Brown Mansion. Silent, awkward and shy. She literally ran out of the car towards the elevator. The expressions on her face were so damn hilarious when I reached it and she had to stay in my presence for another two minutes. I couldn't help but keep staring at her through the glass which made her even more anxious and red that she didn't even look up for once. On my part, I literally have no fucking Idea what has gotten into me but It's feeling difficult for me to get my hands and eyes off her. Maybe because of that black dress that she wore tonight. In spite of the dress being not very revealing, she looked ravishing-ly hot that I couldn't take my eyes off the moment I saw her in the kitchen. She managed t
—JENNIFER—My sleep was broken because of the loud rumbling of my stomach. Midnight cravings are a different thing but I was hella hungry tonight. Because of all the attention in the party I couldn't eat properly and when I finally had made my mind about taking care of my stomach, it went into another direction and I ended up sitting in Christian's lap with him talking weird stuff that made me forget that I was hungry because that time, my stomach was full with thousands of fluttering butterflies. And whatever happened afterwards, I didn't have the courage to stand him another second and locked myself up in my room. It was almost two in the morning when I checked the time before heading out towards the kitchen as my stomach rumbled continuously. On my way, I saw the lights of his study still turned on and realising that Christian is still up, My first thought was to turn and run back to lock myself up again. But another rumble had me keep going. This time, with careful steps. I ope
—JENNIFER—Not knowing what I'm supposed to do, I just stood there staring at him as he chopped the vegetables. I noticed that he wasn't wearing his formal suits but a casual black lower and a white sweatshirt under the apron that he had put on, just a while ago. I mentally fanned myself watching his hard muscles flex with every move under those fitted sweatshirt.I've never seen him in his casual clothes before and to be honest, he looks hot in them too. “I know that.” I was pulled out of my trance by his words and looked up at his face to find him smirking. “ What?? “ I asked, pretending to be confused but guessing his answer. No way he can hear my thoughts. “ Not really. You were just thinking aloud. “ His smirk widened and I looked away silently wishing to set myself on fire. Can't I even think in my mind now?? I cleared my throat and walked up to him. “ I'll do this.” I said, trying to change the topic and took the onions and knife from his hands. He let me and started chop
