Interested in my body?

Anastasia hummed at him. “Get aside,” she said. Alexander let go of her hands and the two went towards the couch there.

Alexander put the food for them in the plates and handed her the plate. Anastasia picked the spoon and fork, started eating. She found that Alexander had great cooking skills. She finished the meal quickly and looked at Alexander. “So, d-did you learn cooking by doing hotel management or something like that?” Anastasia asked.

Alexander who was still eating, placed the fork on the plate and replied to Anastasia. “I learned it from my mother,” Alexander replied. Anastasia nodded when Alexander asked her if she wanted to eat more. Anastasia licked her lips and nodded.

Alexander smiled and served her again. Anastasia ate till her stomach got full. “Ahh, I think I ate too much. In this dress, it is getting uncomfortable,” Anastasia murmured.

Alexander smiled, put the utensils on the tray and left from there. After ten minutes, he came back to the room and found Anastasia had slept on the couch. He went towards her and carried her up in his muscular arms. Taking her to the bed, he placed her gently on the bed and covered her from the blanket.

After that, he turned off the lights, keeping the bedside table lamp on so that if Anastasia’s sleep broke in the middle of the night. He went to the couch and laid down on it. He drifted off to sleep soon.

In the morning, Anastasia felt hot so she threw the blanket off and turned to the other side of the bed. Her leg was exposed half as the gown had reached up. “I need to go to shopping with Ophelia,” Anastasia thought in her sleep. She flinched as she heard the sound of opening of door. Gradually opening her eyes, she recalled everything that had happened yesterday to her.

She turned and saw Alexander there. His upper body was naked while a towel was wrapped around his lower body. He was drying his hair using the other towel in his hand but his back was facing Anastasia.

She gulped seeing the perfectly carved muscles of Alexander. ‘Does he do workout? He has a perfect body!’ Anastasia thought. Alexander turned and his eyes met Anastasia’s.

“Ahh, you are awake!” Alexander with a smile said. Anastasia’s focus was on the chiseled abs of Alexander so she did not hear him. ‘He does have a body like a model or actor! Why didn’t he try modelling or acting?’ Anastasia wondered when she realized what was thinking. She came out of her thoughts and turned her face away.

“Are you interested in my body?” Anastasia heard Alexander.

“What?” She exclaimed and turned to look at him when she found him hovering over her. A taint of red appeared on her cheeks which spread till her ears. “You are blushing,” Alexander whispered against her lips.

“Huh?” Anastasia touched her cheeks and shook her head.

“Can’t you wear something. You are not allowed to roam naked in the room,” Anastasia yanked at him.

“I am not naked. There are no clothes so what do you expect me to wear?” Alexander complained and leaned back. He sat on the mattress while Anastasia sat up on the bed.

She looked for her mobile but then she recalled that her mobile was not there. The door bell rang which brought a smile on Anastasia’s face. “I think our luggage are here. Go bring the suitcases up,” Anastasia told Alexander.

“You want me to go downstairs in this state?” Alexander asked her.

“Who told you to take bath in this early morning?” Anastasia scolded him.

“It is 10 am,” replied Alexander.

“What?”

The bell rang again when Anastasia got down from the bed. She walked out from the room while Alexander waited for her to come there. Anastasia reached downstairs and opened the door.

“Good morning, Ma’am. Your suitcases are here,” a man in his thirties said. Anastasia hummed and told them to put them upstairs in the first room. The two men came inside with four suitcases in their hands and went upstairs.

“Ma’am, here is your mobile phone,” the man said. Anastasia thanked him and checked her phone. Anastasia thanked him when the two men came downstairs. They took their leave from there while Anastasia went upstairs. She stepped inside the room and saw Alexander had worn the pants and was wearing a t-shirt. 

“This man!” Anastasia murmured. “Can’t you change in the dressing room?” Anastasia complained. Alexander turned to her after wearing the t-shirt.  

“Why?” 

“Because I also stay here.” 

“We are husband and wife so isn’t it normal?” Alexander asked. 

“We are husband and wife in the papers only! Put this in your mind,” Anastasia sternly said and came inside. She checked her suitcase and almost put it down when Alexander told her that he would help her. 

He put the suitcase down at the floor and opened it when he was shocked to see what was inside the suitcase. He looked at Anastasia who was also bewildered to see that. 

Anastasia closed the suitcase and scolded Alexander to open that. 

“What did I do? I was only helping you who thought there would be li...,” Alexander paused and stood up. Anastasia grabbed the handle of the other suitcase and took that inside the washroom.

Alexander chuckled seeing that and sat in the couch there.

Inside the washroom, Anastasia checked the suitcase first and took out a comfortable dress for herself. It was a black and white floral midi fit dress with ruffles and V-neck line. She took the innerwear as well and went towards the shower room.

“This phone,” Anastasia mumbled and put it near the washbasin. She looked at herself at the mirror attached to the wall. “I got married,” she murmured and a chuckle escaped her mouth. She took out a brush for herself first from the wooden cabinet there and started brushing her teeth. 

After that she undressed herself and got into the shower room. Taking a hot water shower, she changed into that midi fit floral dress and after an hour came out of the washroom, holding the handle of suitcase. She let it go and it hit the floor. 

“Did the servants come? What about the butler? The washroom is dirty. When will the maid come?” Anastasia asked as she looked at Alexander. 

“I will do the work. I mean I don’t have any job at the moment so, I will do the household chores,” Alexander pronounced. 

Anastasia drew her brows together. “What about your family restaurant? Won’t you work there?” Anastasia asked. 

“I wanted to but I am afraid I cannot go there. It is far from the main city. There will be no servants here. I will do the household work and you will do your job,” Alexander pronounced. 

“So, you are saying that you will also wash the clothes?” Anastasia asked with a raised brow.

“Yes.”

The immediate reply from Alexander startled Anastasia. “You do not have to do all this. I can hire the maids for doing such works,” Anastasia announced as she went towards the dressing table.

Alexander refused her to do that. “Let me do all this. I was supposed to do all this and believe me I am excellent in household works,” Alexander proclaimed. Anastasia had turned on the hair dryer and was listening to him. 

‘Why do I even care? We have nothing to do with each other’ Anastasia thought and agreed to him. “I will hire a maid who will wash my clothes. Rest things you can do,” Anastasia asserted. She took a deep sigh as she ended up in a marriage which she had not thought even in her worse dream but then it was all a show until she acquired the right over the company.
