His Angel

Chapter 9 🔥

Kelis's POV

Looking around the newly redone room I smile at him. I appreciate the effort he is making to make sure I am comfortable. I didn't think he had it in him. He had the master bedroom completely redone. Smiling at him I tell him, "Thank you for considering my feelings. I appreciate it." The room was don in black and white with splashes of gold.

His old bed was replaced with a king-sized. The bed was a canopy bed with semi-sheer gold curtains, the bedposts are decorative ebony elephants. The sheets are black, the duvet is black splattered with gold and white. There are like ten pillows round, square, heart-shaped in black, white, and gold. All the dressers are black with gold elephant head fixtures, there are gold vases with white roses and lamps next to the bed. I was so caught up in looking at all the changes in his room, I didn't notice that he had walked up behind me. He is so close that I can feel his breath on my ear as he speaks.

"Glad you like. Unfortunately, I didn't know your favorite color to include it, but you can change anything you want to." His breath tickling my ear was making my knees weak and I bet he knows it too.

"I like it the way it is, Thank you." Blushing I attempt to take a step away from him. I need a little bit of space to get my thoughts in order, but he wasn't having it. He gently grips my waist and turns me to face him. We are close with his hands around my lower back. With our fronts pressed together, I can feel that he wants more than a name-only marriage.

"You need to get used to my touch. I don't plan on doing anything tonight but I want you to not jump whenever I'm close to you." Smiling at me he places a gentle kiss on my cheek. "One day I soon I will want to consummate this marriage." He then places another gentle kiss on my lips. Quickly pulling myself together I nod my head and pull out of his arms nervously turning away from the sexy little smirk on his face.

Grabbing some clothes I quickly make my way into the bathroom to get ready for bed. There are a lot of things that I am not ready for. Dressing and undressing in front of him is one of those things. Once I get in the bathroom I quickly lock the door behind me. I can hear him laughing before I jump in the shower.

Once I get out of the shower, I take my time applying lotion to my entire body before I get dressed. Then I take my time with my skincare routine, before tying my hair up with my satin scarf. Prayin that I have wasted enough time for him to fall asleep. I may not be fighting him about sleeping in the same bed, but I am not ready for the touching part yet.

Quietly I unlock the bathroom door, looking into our bedroom to see him laying in the bed. From where I'm standing he appears to be sleep but I guess there is only one way to find out. I walk towards the bed, I feel oddly safe in my oversized white tee shirt and black sweats. Not the cutest thing I own but not sending mixed messages either. I gently climb into the bed trying my hardest not to wake him in the process. I squeak as I feel his arms wrap around me as he pulls me closer to him. He kisses me gently on my neck as he leans in to whisper in my ear.

"You took forever I almost fell asleep." I can hear the smile in his voice as he continues. " I have never had a woman try so hard to avoid me. That hurts my ego a little wife." He chuckles a little as he rubs small circles on my lower belly.

"I've never slept in bed with a man before. I was hoping you would be asleep." I nervously looked at him over my shoulder, while silently debating what to do next.

"I am happy to be the first and last man you will share a bed with." He gently pushed me back to a front-facing position. "Relax only on first a night wife. We won't be having sex tonight." My eyes shoot open wide as he pulls me closer to him and I can feel proof that he did want to have sex tonight.
