I beg to differ that.", I sassed and got out of his grip ready to move out of the room when he pulled me by my elbow and the next second I was pushed on the visitor's chair.
He trapped me completely by keeping his palms on the arms of the chair.
"I...

I was anxious, nervous and excited as I entered Nick's room, now mine too. It was not the first time I'd entered his room, but today I didn't step in as Arielle Summers, his love.
Today I stepped in as Arielle Summers Arnold, his love as well as wife.
My heart was beating so wildly that it was almost painful. I could feel my cheeks burning as I walked up to the mirror and stood in front of it. I had never been tenser in my life. It's not like I haven't slept with him before, but he never tried to start anything with me.
He always kept me before himself, my comfort, my feelings and as much as I was ready to give all of me to him tonight, a major part of me felt scared.
I looked at the gifts in front of me, I couldn't help but smile. I picked up the black box with gold lettering and walked towards the bed. I stopped in front of it and opened the box. I took the ring out of the box and held it in my hands, it was so beautiful.
It was given by Mama. I smiled as the precious gem sparkled in the light. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I could feel tears welling up in my eyes. I didn't want to cry.
When did I become so lucky, again?
"You hurt her and you'll see the worst of me Nico.", I couldn't help but chuckle at the threat Mama gave him when we were leaving for home from the venue.
I walked to the dressing table and sat down in front of it. The hairpins were biting into my scalp irritating the living daylights out of me and as much as I wanted to look good, I dropped the idea. I just wanted to remove these pins and this dress.
As I pulled the third pin, I heard the door open. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I could feel my heart start to race as I heard his footsteps approaching me. I opened my eyes and turned around, my hectic heart slowing down seeing the warm smile on his face.
"Amore?" I don't know if it was me who was going crazy or it was his intention. His voice sounded so quiet yet so alluring that it sent shivers down my spine. "I'm so sorry, Amore. Aiden was being a pain in the a*s, he wouldn't let me in my own home." His tone hinted he was annoyed, this means it's you who's going insane Arielle Summers Arnold.
Knock it off!
"It's alright," I said as I turned back and tried to continue my work, a very failed attempt to distract myself from gaping at the ridiculously gorgeous man, who was my husband because now he was right in front of the mirror and dangerously close to me.
It's not the first time, Ari. Stop being so apprehensive.
"Ouch." I hissed as I pulled another hairpin out. He shook his head as he held my hands stopping any further movement.
No no no! I chanted in my head as I felt a warm hand on the back of my neck."Stay still.", he commanded as he gently drew the pins out one by one. His expert fingers moved from the top of my head to the ends of my hair, making sure each pin was removed. I sighed in relief when all the hairpins were removed from my hair.
