ログインLELLAI slowly open my eyes but close them back because of the sunlight cutting across my face. It was full of cheerfulness, but it didn't match the heavy ache in my chest. I sat up with a groan, my muscles stiff from the unfamiliar bed in the smaller guest room, a bit far from his suite.I expected him to come for me. I imagined him bursting through the door, demanding I return to our room, or even just asking if I was okay. But the night had been silent, save for the pacing of the guards outside my window. He had let me sleep alone on the second day of our honeymoon.I stood up while stretching my arms over my head and stomped toward the window to draw the curtains. I wanted to shut the world out, but as the curtain parted, I froze.The first thing I saw was Viktor in the garden, stripped to the waist as his skin glistened with sweat under the morning sun. He is doing brutal push-ups that look like they were meant to punish the ground. Every scar and every hard line of his physiqu
LELLAIt was already 8 in the morning, but the sun was already blinding. I leaned against the stone archway of the terrace with a cup of coffee in my hands as I watched Viktor.He was standing in the center of the courtyard with the sleeves of his black shirt rolled up to his elbows. He's commanding his men to clear the debris from the burned house.However, my focus was not on Viktor's powerful aura. My mind was elsewhere.I couldn't shake the cold logic of it.I stared at the blackened stones and then up at the clear sky. The local authorities had mentioned a short circuit last night, but the math didn't add up. The power had been dead for an hour before the explosion. No current meant no spark. And we were alone. Viktor bought out the entire Son Fogueró to ensure we wouldn't see a single soul.I am sure it was intentional. Viktor turned and his gaze caught mine. The hardness in his eyes didn't vanish, but it softened at the edges when he saw me watching him. He said a final w
LELLAViktor’s mouth left mine and traveled down my cheek… my jaw… my neck. I moaned when his tongue reached the upper part of my breast and sucked my skin so hard. I cried out in the scorching heat as my core tightened with every lick of his tongue. His touch spurred my desire for him until I felt like I was about to lose my mind. I pulled him up to deepen the kiss, licking into his mouth in the same way he did. I thought he could really make me come with just a kiss if we stayed at it long enough. I pulled him even closer as if I wanted to merge our very beings. I felt the strength of his arms and the solid reality of his chest. This was the man I had given my soul to. I didn't need my memory to tell me that. My heart was screaming it with every frantic beat.Everything about him turned me on, from the way he looked and felt beneath my hands to the way he watched me and touched me, driving me wild.The air between us grew heavy with a desperate longing. Viktor groaned as his h
LELLAI swallowed all the shame in my body. I just don't want to be alone in this unfamiliar placeViktor turned fully to me and the light from his phone swept up to catch the edge of my face. He didn't say anything at first, and for a terrifying second, I thought he was going to make me beg or remind me of the bet again."I-It’s not like w-we haven't shared a be-bed before. It’s a massive bed a-and... the house is too quiet when the power is off," I added quickly, my words stumbling over each other as I tried to sound practical rather than terrified. Viktor stayed silent as his gaze fell heavily on mine. I bit my inner cheek because I felt like my face was slowly turning tomato red now. Why is he not saying anything? His silence makes me feel even more embarrassed.He then let out a breath, maybe a half-scoff and half-sigh, and walked back toward me. I stepped back when he stepped into the room and closed the door behind him. "So, you're just admitting that your victory is a li
LELLAFor the next twenty minutes, the only sounds in the room were the frantic clicking of buttons, the cinematic explosions from the speakers, and the occasional muffled curse from one of us. Viktor was infuriatingly good. He played with the same cold and calculated strategy he used in business, anticipating my moves and trying to corner me. But he’d underestimated one thing. I wasn't just a casual gamer. I was a spite-driven perfectionist."Watch your left!" I barked as I pulled off a complex combo that cleared half the enemies on his side of the screen."I have it under control. Focus on your own sector, wife,” he gritted out."My sector is fine! You're the one missing your targets!"As the final boss’s health bar flickered into the red, the tension in the room reached a fever pitch. We were neck-and-neck, the scoreboards ticking up in a blurred race for the lead. I could feel Viktor’s heat beside me, his intense focus radiating off him, but I didn't dare to look."Almost.
LELLAI spent the rest of the afternoon meticulously drying my hair and staring at my reflection in another suite. I have already taken a bath, but my clothes are not here, so I wrapped myself in a bathrobe.I drop the hairdryer with a deep sigh.“It’s just Viktor. It's just one night," I whispered to the empty room.But it was never ‘just’ anything with him. I caught sight of my wedding ring, catching the afternoon light. "Enough," I snapped at my own reflection.I wasn't going to be the girl hiding while her husband enjoyed teasing her. If he wanted a challenge, I would give him one. If he wanted to play the hunter, he was about to find out that I wasn't the prey.I stood up, cinching the belt of my robe tight, and marched out of the room. But the walk back to the primary suite felt like a march toward a firing squad, except the ammunition was my own fluttering nerves. Why am I nervous?! It's not my first time! He had already seen through me! We already… already… make out?
