Allure of Darkness!

5. Blindfold!

Marona's POV

After that day, I never saw Mikhail again. I focused on my studies and Laurence but he never stopped haunting my dreams. His warning was already giving me nightmares. It felt like his eyes never left me, I was feeling him watching me all the time.
It won't be wrong if I say that Mikhail had occupied my mind more than Laurence. I was terrified to see him again and was praying every day that I won't meet the murderer ever. It made me so relieved after knowing that he wasn't going to attend our wedding.

Shaking my thoughts aside, I freshened up. Laurence came late that night, I was waiting for him because I was feeling alone. I always want him to hold me closer but he is never around. He is always busy at work. I miss him but I don't want to be clingy so I never complain to him.
I know, once he solves his business problems then he will give me the time I deserve. I'll wait for the day when he won't let me go out of his sight like a good husband should do.

He came back and went to freshen up without saying anything. I also changed into my silk night gown and sat on the bed.

"How are you feeling now?"
He asked as he came back.

"Better."
I replied as my eyes roamed on him. Laurence is tall and has a good physique. He might not be the most handsome Delgado but he is the one for me.

He just nodded and sat beside me.
"Don't take so much stress, you are fine here."

I nodded and hugged him, trying to seek comfort from him. My hands travelled on his chest, trying to allure him the same feeling which I am feeling.
He groaned when I kissed his neck.
"Marona, I am tired"

"Please"
I sighed disappointed.
"I need it! You are always busy."

He released a sigh and responded to my approach, I tilted my head when he pampered my neck with kisses.
He removed my shrug leaving me in a strapless short silk gown and I am not wearing anything underneath.

Laurence laid me back on the bed and hovered over me, his eyes didn't hold any emotions. He just looked like a man who was completing his task.
I frowned, what's wrong with him?
He kissed my neck again and tried to feel the same old emotions but it wasn't turning me on. I felt the urge to stop him because it felt like forced but I didn't, thinking that he would feel bad. Maybe I shouldn't have forced him, he doesn't look interested.

Suddenly his phone rang and he huffed.
"Laure___"
I sighed when he grabbed the phone and answered it in the middle of our time.

"Yeah, father... No, I am not doing anything important..."
He answered while getting up from my body and grabbing his shirt.
"I'll come!"
I sat up and looked at him confused when he started leaving.
"Sorry, I'll be back in no time."
He looked at me and walked out.

I rubbed my face frustrated and got up while grabbing my shrug, groaning annoyed I tossed it away.
Why does Laurence look different nowadays? He doesn't give any attention to me. He didn't even ask what happened to me today and why I fainted. My whole life I ran behind the thing 'Love', when I met Laurence, it felt like I finally found it but did I? Sometimes it feels like my hunt is not over yet.
I shook my head, what am I thinking? Laurence is my husband and he loves me.

I stood by the window and looked out at the moonlight, the cool breeze fanned my face as I hugged myself.
The night gown I am wearing is just filthy material which is hiding nothing, as wind touched me it showed the exact replica of my naked body which is covered in thin material.
This was my foolish attempt to seduce Laurence and now I feel dumb.
Maybe I am thinking too much, he is just stressed and focused on upcoming events. I should give him time.

Suddenly the lights switched off, I looked out and saw that it was a blackout. It wasn't completely dark, the faint moonlight was there.

I was about to turn around to go to bed when something hard touched my back. Strong arms slowly and gently wrapped around my waist. So manly and possessive.
My lips turned into a soft smile as my hope came back.
"So you finally found your way back?"
I chuckled softly.
