Chapter 72
“Huh, please don’t say no,”
She said biting her lips.
“It’s when I find out what it was that I will decide that Ari, so speak up,”
He urged.
“Sure, I was hoping you would let me do something to keep me busy while you are at work, no I am not asking for work that would pay me, it is just that I can’t seat at home bored while you work, I want to do something while you are at work,”
Arielle said, each word came out as if she was in a hurry so that he would not cut her off, when she was done, she looked at him to see him watching her, at least he didn’t look pissed but after nearly five minutes of silence, she thought he would say no and her heart sank.
“Aren’t you going to say anything
She asked in a tiny voice already concluding he would say no.
“Hmm, what is it that you have in mind? Of course, it will be after our honeymoon, I want to be out of Russia for at least a week, so tell me, what do you think you can do?”
He asked, he seemed genuinely interested in what she wanted to say and that warmed her heart, she couldn’t resist hugging him.
“Oh wait, I haven’t even said yes yet, why are you blackmailing me?”
He asked holding her, she got off the hug and glared at him.
“I am not blackmailing you, you listened, I thought you would say no,”
“well technically, I can say no if I don’t like what you want to do and you hugging me seems like you want to bribe or blackmail me into saying yes, if I say no after you hugged me, I might be called heartless”
He answered, she wanted to tell him he has been heartless a lot of times towards her, but that would not be good for her case. She stared at him for a moment, she still didn’t know what she actually want to do, either go back to school and get a degree or learn a skill, she leaned and kissed him hoping it would work on him and he would let her do whatever she does choose, he kissed he back holding her waist and pulling her completely on top of him, her naked body against his, she almost forgot why she started the kiss as his hand found her ass and squeezed, she moaned softly into his mouth as his tongue plunged into her mouth, the taste of him that she got used to and the addicting feel of his mouth drove her crazy, she wanted him again, he was like a drug, she pulled away and shook her head getting off his lap.
“Wait, stop distracting me,”
She accused, he stared at her like she has lost her mind.
“Girl, you kissed me first, speak up, I want to have you again, he said taking her hand and pulling her back onto the bed with him, she felt his hardness against her and licked her lips, trying to collect her thoughts but her head was filled with the thought of him inside her and doing things to her, she shook her head to clear her thought and he laughed at her, he was clearly enjoying watching her lose her senses over him.
“I have two options, either go back to school, because I dropped out of high school and only took a make-up exam two years ago to get my high school diplomat, or I can learn a skill, of course, I don’t expect you to pay for me, I am asking that whatever I choose to do, you would maybe lend me some money for it and I will pay you back when you pay me what you said you would,”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
She explained, the last part of what she said didn’t make so much sense after she said it out but it was already out and she couldn’t take it back, if he doesn’t pay for her, she would not be able to do it because right now she had no money.
“In other words, I have to pay,”
he said and she nodded.
“Alright, let me know when you have finally concluded and I will help you with what you need,”
He answered which shocked her because she had not expected him to say yes so easily, he keeps shocking her, and she didn’t know what to do about how her heart lit up for him.
“Now what?”
He asked.
“What?”
“Why are you looking at me like that? I said yes didn’tI? You look like you are about to cry,”
He pointed out, she hadn’t realized it and wiped her eyes.
“I am sorry, I am not used to getting what I want easily and I wasn’t expecting you to say yes either,”
She responded.
“I said yes, you are my wife, Arielle, as long as it is something reasonable, which it is, I am willing to support you, I might be the devil in your eyes, but I am kind of a good devil, of course, I can be bad too if you push me,”
He answered in the most Luciano way.
“thank you,”
“Sure, now let’s have you reward me even before the deed is done,”
He said and she understood what he meant, she gave herself to him, taking as much of him as he was willing to give to her.
As they lay in bed after, she watched him sleep, he was frowning in his sleep and she couldn’t help the protectiveness that enveloped her, she wanted to take away everything that made him frown, and shield him from whatever that made him sad.
“You are falling for him,”
The voice in her head whispered, she snapped the thought off and looked away from Luciano, she wasn’t falling for him, she just liked having him in bed with her, making love with him and being with him in general, that wasn’t love, love was something else and that’s not what she feels for him, she got off the bed and walked out of his room, to the room she used to use, she laid on the bed as the thought found it way back to her head, she shook it off, she was grateful that he listened to her, which is why she was feeling this way, she didn’t love him, she couldn’t love him or anyone else, it was impossible.
