Chapter 19

Eriantha

Darcel had been silent ever since, he had the showdown with  his grandfather during the dinner, he was glued on his phone the moment he dropped on the sofa and suggested that I can use the bathroom first.
I came out immediately the very next moment, earning a surprised look from him,"I suddenly remembered that I have to prepare for tomorrow's meeting with the supplier, you should wash up and sleep first. It's going to take me some time."
That definitely was the best excuse I could come up with, because there's no other way I could get over with this night without getting embarrassed.

It's true I wasn't a saint, and I haven't even considered abstaining from having sex with him during our marriage tenure. In fact, I had even started my contraceptive shots as preparation, a little part of my virgin goddess was excited that she will finally get rid of her v card by this dashing, god like man. But then it was the same reason why I didn't want to make a fool of myself in front of him.
There was no way I was going to be wearing that hot pink baby doll lingerie tonight and come out like a desperate chick in front of him. Not that I had any other choice, I didn't have any clothes with me, all of them were packed and sent off to Darcel's residence while Anders was away from home.

"As you wish." He shrugged, "after all my wife is also the chief perfumer" Darcel spoke in an amused tone, though his face didn't give off much, I am pretty sure he had noticed I was acting itchy.
"Secret perfumer Mr.Karwitz," I spoke as I fired up the new laptop, one of the stuffs I received tis morning, along with a new cell phone.
"I hope the creative team designated to me has been made to sign the non-disclosure agreements."

"Of course they have,including the supplier who would be working with you directly." He spoke while scrolling his phone.

"I have heard he is the best in the industry. It has been a dream of mine to work  with him." I tried as hard as a I could to sound non-chalant, but inwardly I was cursing myself for getting all riled up and blushing profusely.

This was the only condition I had on my end I didn't want to reveal my identity and make things harder for Anders. Darcel did fulfill his part by preparing an entire segregated set up for me. He was a diligent man when it came to his business, that's what made him what he is today.

I looked at the time, while pressing my fingers on my eyes because they were throbbing from having been glued at the computer screen. I wouldn't have cared about being stuck with my new laptop till this late, had things not been this awkward. The room which was designated as "the bridal chamber"  was decorated with rose petals and scented candles, the flowy curtains and the red satin sheets turned it into a scene straight from a Regency erotica.

I was distracted by the aqua scent as the bathroom door opened, and my eyes got glued at the sight which was right before my eyes.
Darcel was in his boxers, the towel half hanging from his head, as he was rubbing his dripping hair, his bangs were tousled which made him appealing enough to make my virgin body squirm out of anticipation.

"You are still on that?" He asked, but I was too busy to check out his perfect abs and the clean v which escaped behind the band of his boxers.

"Eriantha?"

Our eyes met, and he smirked, he had definitely noticed that I had been ogling at him shamelessly.

'Damn this body'

I am a completely disarmed opponent in this combat of self restraint. But, my husband was a sight to behold, how could I deprive my eyes from relishing this exquisite view.
I looked back at my screen and began typing random alphabets, this was driving me crazy.

"Yes... There's a lot of work to be done, it's my first day after all I don't want to disappoint anyone Mr.Karwitz"

"I am the only one at the company to whom you are answerable to" He strode and stood right in front of me, stirring the butterflies in slumber inside my body, he grazed my cheek with his knuckles,his touch was the mildest, but enough to accelerate my breathing right away.
