Why is he breaking the deal?
He moved his face forward, and I turned it slightly. I was angry at him for showing up like this. I was furious because he was calling me his wife. You are his wife. My inner voice said. My breath was heavy at that subtle voice. We are married, and it's true. He is my husband. Not now, but tomorrow, everyone will know about our relationship. Then what will you do? How long will you keep running from this fact? It's a fact, and I know it, but how should I make my heart and mind understand it? I was nothing in front of his status.
What if people think I'm just with him for money and success? What if people don't see me for what I'm for? What if they think I'm getting success just because I'm Erick Villain's wife? I have worked so hard to achieve what I have today. I have done it all on my own. My pride is the only thing I have left now. It scares me to lose it too. I have always been in this dilemma. I just don't know how to break myself free from it. He moved closer, and I could feel his warm breath fanning on my cheeks. I couldn't take this closeness of our bodies. I don't want to admit but the closeness of our bodies was making me go crazy. My heart started to beat even faster.
“Erick, please," I whispered when I felt the tip of my nose rubbing on my cheeks. I felt sparks all over my body. My breath became shallow when he did that. My eyes closed on their own. I didn't want to admit it, but I was craving his touch. I don't know why I wanted him to hold me and kiss me. I slightly bit on my lower lip in distress. I don't know why I was feeling like this. He slowly pressed his lips to my cheek, making me curl my hand on the side of my dress. I was still holding the front of my dress with my other hand. He pressed one more kiss on my jaw, and my breath became even more shallow.
“I missed you,” he whispered in his heavy voice. He missed me. My teeth sank more in my lower lip. I was not expecting him to say that. Cold and rude Erick, I know, would never say those words to me. Only my old Erick, who had nothing but our love, would say that to me. Unknowingly, tears welled up in my eyes, but I swallowed them. He was the Erick who loved me the most, but he was the only one who gave me immense pain. The pain I could never get over till now.
“I missed you so much,” he whispered once again before pressing a small kiss on my neck. My breath became short. A certain memory flashed in front of my eyes.
“I miss you," Erick whispered in my ear, even though we had spent all day together in school. We were in the house, and I was sitting on his lap. I blew my nail because he had just applied nail polish to it. I turned my face to look at him.
“Didn't we spend the whole day together?” I said with a small chuckle before going back to blowing my nails. He had bought red nail polish for me. He loves that colour on me. His hold became tight on my waist, and he buried his face in my neck.
“I miss you,” he whispered once again, pressing a kiss on my neck. Little did I know it was his way of saying he loved me. He was scared to say I love you because everything he loves leaves him. So instead he says I miss you. I have seen him saying these three words while looking at his mother's picture. He was indirectly, even today, telling me he loves me. My heart skipped a beat.
“Why is the door locked?” I heard Evelyn's voice, and it pulled me out of my thoughts. I blinked my eyes, making that memory go away. I decided to pull away from him, but he won't let me. He kept standing in front of me. Telling me he had no intention of moving.
“Grace, are you inside?” I heard her voice once again. I took a deep breath and decided to answer.
“Yeah, I'm changing," I said, but I don't know if my voice reached her, but I didn't hear her again. Erick pressed one more kiss on my neck before rubbing the tip of his nose on the column of my neck. He took hold of the hand that was holding the front of my dress. He pulled it away, and my dress slid down, giving him a good view of my chest. He dipped his face even further and kissed my cleavage. My breath jagged when I felt his grown stubble rubbing my soft skin. Sparks travelled in my whole body when I felt his wet lips touching my warm skin. He looked up straight into my eyes and whispered.
“I missed you every second," he whispered, and I just forgot how to breathe. He moved his head up and captured my lips. My eyes widened for a second, but then they closed on their own when I felt his soft lips moving on mine. He kissed me slowly, savouring every inch of my lips. His hand moved down from my neck to my waist. He held it firmly. Slowly, the kiss turned even more passionate. My one hand wrapped around his neck, and the other moved on his broad back. I could feel how his body shuddered under my mere touch. The strokes of his lips became even more fast and passionate. His other hand explored all the curves of my body, and I could feel the longing in his touch. He was desperate for me, and I didn't want to accept it, but his touch induced the same fire inside me. I was holding myself back from calling him, from hearing his voice, but now I couldn't. I don't want to hold myself back. He moved my body back, and something fell behind me, but we did not pay any attention to it. He parted our lips for only a second to whisper, which made my whole body burn with need.
“I missed you so bad, doll.”
