Chapter Four

"why would I miss someone who didn't bother calling or texting me all day?" i was hoping my tone will sound nonchalant but it came out slightly agitated instead.

He chuckled and straightened away from me "Are you mad that i didn't call you sweetheart?"

"No, I don't care enough to be mad," Again why can't i get my stupid voice to cooperate with me. I didn't want to show emotions where he was concerned.

He bent down again, this time his hands in his pant's pockets. His lips next to my ear, his husky voice teasing me." i might believe you but your hands say otherwise"

I looked at my hands and noticed i had been clenching them this whole time that my knuckles were turning white. I immediately relaxed my hands and twisted around to glare at him.

My nerves were being stretched thin due to his presence, part of me eagerly waited for him to kiss me again while the other part resented the fact that i was betraying myself. 

He looked entincingly beautiful standing there with a big smirk on his face.he was wearing a perfectly tailored suit made just for him. He was the picture of elegance. 

My glare didn't do anything except add to his amusement. He chuckled again, and like it was on cue, my idiotic heart skipped a beat or two.

"Are you trying to tell me something with that look of yours?" he asked bewitchingly as his eyes bored onto mine, and forced me to look away. I just couldn't win a staring contest against him "is it that you are dying for me to kiss you again?"

He moved closer and i instantly fell back on the bed closing my mac book in the process. "No i was trying to tell you to get the heck away from my room" my voice came out strong and ended in almost a whimper. I internally groan and wish I had more guts to stand up to this gorgeously disturbing beautiful man.

Whatever courage i had would run and hide in the deepest depth of my subconsciousness the moment Alex entered my personal space. 

His mouth curved triumphantly as he slowly crawled on top of me. He caged me in between his elbows as he hovered above like he was ready to devour me in one swoop.

I pushed and pounded at his unmoving shoulders and aggressively said. "Get off me" I said now almost furious 

He easily grabbed my wrists and pinned each of them to my ears. "You are so cute when mad, you are like a little kitten pretending to be a wild cat" he taunted me with his dazzling hazel eyes before his lips captured mine.

I kept twisting my body but he was heavy and wouldn't bulge. My body started to relax giving in to his touch. Every touch and lick sent Shockwaves throughout my nerve endings.

He released my hands and they immediately went around his neck and my finger roamed through his thick hair.God this ma had a way with the way he kissed me 

His lips moved against mine like he had all the time in the world. He was savoring it like it was his last meal on earth.

My lips started to to move and i started to kiss him back. Even my tongue had a brief daring moment and it tried to taste him. He let out a soft delightful laugh at my pitiful attempt before returning to kiss me, to teach me.

He kissed me until I was breathless. He kissed me until i forgot where i was, all i was aware of were his soft lips, his intriguing scent, the taste of him, the warmth from his hand cupping my face and the weight of his body on top of mine.

His mouth moved down to kiss my neck and started kissing me there, where my pulse was beating loudly against his lips. He was giving the new spot some attention and thoroughness as my lips.

"whenever you see this love bite you will think of me" he said smugly as his lips softly brushed my neck.my eyes flew ione at his statement of branding me as he gave me one last kiss on my swollen lips and a final gentle tug on my bottom lip before he got up and left without a word.

I laid there, my mind in a state of obscurity as my finger tips timidly touched the blemish on my neck. There surely would be a mark here for days. A stupid smile spread across my face as i replayed what had just happened.

After the euphoric feelings slowly dissipated, resentment started to emerge. What the heck? Did he just think he can eat and get up and leave without paying 

After contemplating for close to ten minutes i jumped out of bed and stormed into his room without knocking 

The room was bigger than mine and also empty. While i wondered where he could have gone, i scanned around. He didn't have a lot of decor on his walls except a massive painting above the headboard and a smaller one next to it. There were no pictures or anything flashy. Everything was mainly black and white, and shades of grey. He kept it simple and classy.

Suddenly his connecting bathroom opened, he stood there half naked, a towel around his lean w*ist while he w* drying his hair with a smaller Towel on his head

My face turned scarlet from embarrassment and i immediately turned away.

"I...I... You"

My hands shot up to cover my eyes out of frustration "Get a grip woman" i muttered to myself hoping the next thing that came out of my mouth would be a compete sentence 

" what are you doing here?" he asked suggestively. "Are you here because you are not satisfied and you wanted more?" i heard movements behind me and the subtle sounds of clothes rustling.

As much as I wanted to move, mu feet were glued to the floor. My mind was going crazy at the thought of him being naked just right behind me, i needed holy water to wash away my thoughts and prevent them from going further. 

"I will take your silence as a yes." He sounded so mischievous, as though he had more plans in store for me. The rustling sound stopped and i could only assume he was fully dressed.

I turned around and glowered at him "No, you can take my silence as simply silence"

Even in a simple white t-shirt and loose pants, he still looked attractive as ever.

"Alright baby," he said with so much amiability and gentleness "what can i do for you?"

"Why did you marry me?" i blurted out almost in a silent whisper the one question i desperately wanted to ask.
