—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
—JENNIFER—I tripped on the carpet in the living area and fell flat on my butt.“ Fucking Carpet!! “ I cried, frustrated while rubbing my behind and still sitting on the floor miserably. “ The carpet is sorry to get in your way. “ The sarcastic voice came from near me and I looked up to see its arrogant owner looking with a mocking expression. “ It should be. “ I said, swatting his hand away, that he offered me to get up and did that by myself. “ You can't even walk straight on a flat floor without tripping. “ He scrunched his nose and headed toward the dining table. I followed him behind and took my usual chair, opposite him. “That's because this STRAIGHT floor belongs to you. Even your house is conspiring against me. Like owner, like house!! “ I mumbled bitterly, loud enough for him to hear. He said something about me talking absurdly as he ate a spoonful of omelette. Me, on the other side kept muttering incoherent things about him while stuffing my mouth with my own food. Af
—JENNIFER—The elevator ride was uncomfortably silent and all the while Christian's body language was tense, angry. As soon as we entered the house I decided to break the silence. “ I'm sorry!! “ I said, causing him to stop in the doorway and turn to look at me beside him. His face was unreadable as he stared for a moment at my face before stepping close to me, making me hitch my breath. His hand went up to touch my forehead and rubbed a spot gently. “ Does it hurt? “ He asked and I remember that I had hit my head on the steering wheel and might have gotten a scratch. “ A little!! “ I answered, keeping my gaze fixated on his face and tried to read him. “Com'on!! “ He said and grabbed my head again, tugging me with him in the living area. Making me sit on the couch, he brought the first aid kit and cleaned the small scratch before applying the ointment on it. “ Aren't you angry at me?? “ I asked when he was done and had placed the first aid kit aside. “ For what?? “ He frowne
—JENNIFER—He looked pissed and the way his eyes were piercing mine, I can get the idea that I was definitely in trouble. Because he can get annoyed at me even for breathing in the same air as him. And it looked like his patience to tolerate my dramatic ass had run off. My mind was telling the possibilities as the main door was closed with a small thud. We stared at each other in silence until it started to bite off my ears and I cleared my throat. “ Why is he here?? “ I asked, trying to cover my nervousness and sliding away from his reach slowly. “ Definitely not for you to drool over him.” He gritted coldly through his clenched jaws with an even more cold glare. I gulped down realising the reason for his suddenly risen temper. Damn!! He is jealous. The look on his face was screaming that he damn sure was jealous and it’s almost terrifying to look at in those eyes right now. But that didn't mean that I was going to miss the chance. “ I just told the truth. He is ho-I had start
—JENNIFER—Oh, How wrong I was to think that he would care to even listen to my threat. I groaned immediately at the sight when I stepped out of the door to receive Cally. “ He got to be kidding me!! “ I stared at the big bulky bodyguard, Morris, standing at full attention at the door. “ Are you going somewhere, Mam?? “ He asked, as soon as his eyes caught me. “ No. Not certainly now.” I gritted through my teeth making him shift in his place. The elevator bell ding before the doors were opened, revealing Cally. She grinned up at me making me reciprocate it as I hugged her. “ Damn, I missed you.” She complained, pulling apart. “ I don't like holidays anymore. “ I matched her tone of remorse, leading her inside but she stopped abruptly. “ Bloody hot chocolate!! Who's that? “ Her eyes wandered behind me at Morris. “ He works with Christian and now is here to provide me safety.“ I grunted in annoyance. “As if every bad guy is waiting outside my door to get their hands on me. ” I c
