Chapter 36: Chapter Thirty - Six : I Can Make Our Married Life Exciting

Note : Steamy scene ahead

Nik's POV

I awoke to total darkness and instinctively rose from the bed only for my sight to be attracted on a figure sitting opposite from me, but I relaxed knowing she could never hurt me - she could not even hurt a fly. But her penetrative and accusing gaze seem to scald me as I unconsciously looked away.

"How long have I being out?" I asked rubbing my eyes to remove the sleep which surprisingly was still in my eyes .

"Ten hours or so, I can't tell but you were sleeping so peacefully I couldn't bear to wake you " She answered but I couldn't help but dictate a hint of sneer in her voice

"You could've killed me " I accused but knew inwardly it wasn't possible . It would take more than a punch to end my life, it was obvious I buckled under the stress and sleeplessness of this week.

Moreover, for such strange reasons I always feel comfortable whenever I'm beside her even my insomnia can't stand a chance with her.

"I know the strength of my punch, I'm not stupid enough to kill the World richest bachelor and become a wanted criminal- Dead or alive " She answered grudgingly confirming my suspicion she was angry at me, as if her previous kind and cheerful demeanor was a figment of my own imagination.

"What's wrong? "I asked with a little hesitation wondering where I went wrong this time.

God, I can never understand women!

(A/N: How can you understand someone created while you were in a deep sleep *biblical reference:The creation )

"Oh , I think you should know what's wrong Nik?" She asked, with her arms folded across her chest and a million dollar frown .

"Details please " I groaned, feeling a headache coming

"Why do you want me around Isabelle?" Maya began her interruption, the usual bulging vein on her face threatening to burst.

There was a slight surprise on my face but I hid it from her, composing my emotions as usual. "I want you as her mother "

She scoffed much to my dismay " What am I? Ten? Stupid? "

My brows creased from confusion, has she found out everything ? Did she finally figure out the whole plot?

"Don't take me for an idiot, Nik " She warned, a resolute one at that.The warning was definitive as if saying, one wrong answer and you're toasted .

I breathed deeply giving up at once, it was obvious whether I confess or not, each answer held grevious consequence and you can never tell what's going on in the mind of a woman or what trap I'll fall into next.They're such a complex creature

"I want you to turn her human "

There was a long silence after that short confession .The silence was so deafening that one could feel the tension and storm brewing without being told.

"I knew it" She gasped "I'm indeed the collateral damage "

"What? "

"While dragging me into your family war, have you thought about my safety first ?" She threw at me and stood up in anger.

"Nothing's going to happen to you " I assured her and stood up from the bed with the intention of gathering her into my arm.

"Really? As if you care, you say this but I bet when push comes to shove I'll be discarded like a rag! " She screamed right at my face leaving me stunned

I watched her in astonishment,even though she was yelling at me but I didn't feel the least angry, if anything I was glad that I was the one to ignite such emotions in her which totally wasn't my style.

I was never the one to be yelled at by anyone born of a woman but when I was being cursed at by her, all I could think of was how cute she looks flustered .

If anything I tuned out her screams and curses and focused my gaze on the way her succulent pink lips moved.

It was so alluring that I felt the need to kiss them swollen but I knew in this current situation, there wasn't any way I would achieve that without receiving a slap on my cheek - more likely a punch, the girl's a gangster.

"Are you even listening to me? "She asked agigatedly, when she couldn't provoke a response from me

I looked at her with a smile calmly replying "Are you done talking so I can explain to you?"

My words left her speechless as she repeatedly failed to come up with a word to refute me.

I let out a smug smile while I felt her surrender but she was quick to rebuke me

"Don't think you've won already "

"Fine, just hear me out" I raised my hand in surrender but my smug expression still remained the same.

I turned to face her eye to eye making sure to notice every expression on her face as my explanation began

"I've never planned to drag you into any war, I just want you to be a mother to Isabelle. Isabelle is apathetic and aloof and I'm afraid if she continues that way, she'll be a danger to others and herself in the future especially in this line of business , it has the ability to turn someone into a monster "

"And I'm some Doctor? please get a therapist " She mocked aloud.

"The fact Isabelle likes you is totally unexpected, surprising and comforting, which means you're her weakness at the moment and only you has the ability to make her more human "

"She sure shows her likeness in a strange way" she murmured absentmindedly not noticing how close we were already .

"That's why I want you near her, give her the love she needs "

"Why? " She asked "Why me? " She continued staring me straight in the eyes as if trying to find some sort of answers from there.

I smiled and held her both cheeks in my palm , stroking it tenderly as I answered "Because you're you and the only woman who didn't approach me with an ulterior motive "

My straightforward answer must have shocked her so much that she blushed immediately and slapped my palms away from her cheeks.

"What nonsense! "She hollered "What makes you think I'm a saint and how sure are you I never approached you with a motive? " She puffed her chest as if daring me to answer.

"Simple as ABC, if you were with an ulterior motive I wouldn't be the one always seducing you but the other way round "

She blushed instantly at my answer looking away but still unwilling to acknowledge my answer.

"You can never be so sure I'm not a fake , a pretender whose just waiting for the right time to get into your pants "

She made a point but who cares? She's free to get into my slacks too.

"Trust me honey , the women I've being with can always testify I'm the seducer and not them " I said before adding "But if you're so sure you can seduce me to prove your point, you're welcome to try" I nonchalantly challenged , flashing my attractive canines like a big bad wolf at the innocent sheep who didn't know I was plotting a trap for her.

"What? " She choked , genuinely surprised at my ridiculous suggestion

"You heard me right, honey. If you think you have the guts to seduce me , try kissing me for a minute and if I respond , you win , or vice versa"

She seems to be contemplating it cause she chuckled "This is ridiculous "

"You win, your fourty million debt is cancelled automatically "I threw in the appetizer waiting for her to take the bait - I knew she loves money.

Her eyes glittered at the generous and tempting offer while still contemplating her next move .

"Fine, call me game " She said exuding confidence of her absolute victory. It seems my reputation of a playboy has done me more harm than good.

Just because there isn't a lack of v*gina to fu*k doesn't mean I don't have enough safe control. To get to this position today required lots of self control and IQ. She doesn't even realize, she has fallen into my well thought plan.

"When do we start, now ?" She asked rubbing her palms together in gleeful anticipation.

"Now" I replied hiding the excitement in my voice

She looked up realizing now how close we were, I saw a hint of nervousness in her eyes and chuckled inwardly, did she now realize the gravity of what she's about to commit herself to?

Suddenly she licked her lower lips seductively and even with a strong self control , I still felt something stir from below .

Damn, she's quite good .

Slowly, she reached for my neck and latch her lips unto mine , her little softness pressing against mine.

She suckled on my lips for a while before activating the French kiss, her tongue plundered mine as she kept trying to arouse me all to no avail ; If only she knew how hard I was struggling below.

"Time's up" I said keeping her at arm's length as if anymore contact would scald me.

Truth be told, the man below was very tempted and almost responded to her assault throughout the whole ordeal which was why I was quick to release her after her time was up.

"What are you ? A monk? "She inquired astonished

"I guess you don't just have the skills for it "I chided playfully but her furious expression cracked my rips.

Just when she was about to lash out at me , I suddenly yank her upward without warning, making sure to cup her ass as her legs wind around me for support while her hands cling instinctively around my neck.

Before she could protest , my mouth closed down on her small pinkish succulent bud stunning her stupid .

Her eyes remained open from shock until I bit on her lower lips provoking a response from her. She tried to fight against me but she was no match for me so had no choice than to give in and enjoy the ride.

My tongue plundered her mouth enjoying the shocking sweetness while my hands added the finishing touch eliciting a moan from her.

"You cheated !" She accused furiously when we came up for air

I smiled down on her "Sweetheart , all is fair in love and war "

"What?! "She yelled dumbfounded, she's now officially welcomed to my shameless world

"Just shut up and let me kiss you " I said before capturing her lips once again. This time was met with no resistance as she completely melted from my touch. She moaned against my lips and I smiled knowing I was capable of arousing such feelings from her.

"Just let it all out "I murmured against her ear nibbling at it when I suddenly sensed her holding back .

"Why ? So you can have my body ? just like you want to marry me for Izzy's sake and not love?"

She challenged looking me in the eyes with contempt but her lustful eyes betrayed her. Eventhough she pretends to be mean and distant , I could still feel her need for me amidst all that.

"Love don't last forever even for those who claim to be in love , but I can promise you that I'll remain faithful once I commit to you , moreover there are a million ways I can make our married life exciting but the question is, will you let me? "
