Leaving me in a haze of his passionate words, my husband headed into the bathroom. I stayed there, my spine plastered against the door and heart thudding wildly inside my chest. Only when he turned on the shower did I recollect myself.

I slipped out of my clothes and into the shirt he dumped on to the floor when he removed it. It still smelled like him and it somehow made me calmer than before.

I was brushing my hair when he walked out with a towel wrapped around his waist. His damp hair and defined abs definitely made me drop the brush but I looked away before it did and continued my nightly hair routine. When I set the brush down and turned to face him, he had already pulled on a gray sweatpants which hung low around his hips. Heat crawled over my skin. I brushed the messy tangles of my hair as he moved to one side of our bed, running his hand through his damp hair.

"Aren't you hungry?" I placed my brush on the dresser and moved over to my side of the bed. He looked way too tired

    Daniel I woke up with a raging hangover and a hungry belly. The latter wasn't just for food but rather it was for the warm body I was pressured up against. How did I end up here? I remembered my failed attempt to keep my distance from my fortune hunting wife and caved in with her in our bed. Every night I ended up seeking her warmth only made me more desperate to break whatever bond was developing between us. I knew the moment I saw her picture in the bride catalog that once I married the girl, I would be doomed and I did marry the girl my father had chosen for me and I was very nearly doomed. I had conjured up enough reasons to stay away from her. Reasons like she wasn't the girl I had wanted to be my wife, she was a gold digger who took the first chance of selling her body for the life of riches, and the biggest and by far the most upholding reasons that I didn't love her. And I was able to keep all those reasons until she wasn't in my arm's reach and I needed...I wanted to touch

    The second time I saw Shelly was at one of the parties I got invited to. It was rather abrupt to be randomly required to go out with the wives of my husband's business associates. They were all much older than me by at least five to ten years. I didn't know how to socialize with them. Not in the least. They all looked too uptight and unwelcoming. Marianne had given me a nice makeover, so I looked impeccable in front of the group. It was my husband who had selected the outfit for the occasion and given strict instructions not to mess up my looks. By the time my glam team accomplished their job, I was ready for the red carpet. My hair was twisted into a messy topknot. My make up was light, but they matched it with smoky eyes and wine-red lips. My outfit was a black velvet boat-necked dress with a slit so high on the side that my leg was exposed with every step I took. Strappy black stilettos finished the look, making me look like a runway model. Fuck the simplicity. It was non-existe

    I had spent enough hours thinking about the woman who didn't surprise me and walked straight in my direction. None of the ladies were her target and she displayed it with unfiltered grace. She stood two feet from me and gave me her mean, judgmental eyes. And all the pictures I had painted of her and my husband resurfaced in my brain.While I had hardly known about her, I was sure everyone knew about her very well. Maybe that's why all of them studied both of us as we stood facing each other. I had been conscious about my lean curves since the day Marianne told me I needed to be on a proper diet to look half as presentable as the other billionaire wives. I had accepted her remark, consumed it and had been working on a strict diet ever since.But none of it had made me as self conscious as Shelly. She was a few inches taller than me and her body had to be the perfect fit for a Victoria secret model. Beautiful as she was, the twist on her lips surely made her look very evil.Everyone was

    Our booth fell silent. Everyone's attention was at the entrance of the club. Several tall men entered the room alongside my husband. With specks of anger marking his otherwise casual expression and the veins lining his forehead and neck, Daniel was surely the standout among the group. He walked straight to our booth, leaving the men behind and if I was to think he was headed toward me, I would be absolutely wrong. My eyes were on my husband, not knowing even as he walked up to another woman, I still felt excited to see him there especially when he had refused to join me tonight. Or maybe, it was the agitation of not knowing who he was there for. Either case, I was a tight ball of conflicting emotions. Shelly rose to her feet, and almost threw her arms around his neck for a hug but my husband caught her arm, stopping her. She turned in his hold with an easy grace and that honey laced carefree smile grin on her face like she had fun humiliating me in front of his friends' wives. But

    A hand brushed my cheek and Daniel's face hovered over mine as he helped me step inside the limo. I couldn't see Nathan anywhere. It was just us in the backseat and the driver in the front. I was a little buzzed and I didn't realize how hammered I was until he brushed my hair off my face and made me look at his face. His handsome features were blurry and I surely saw at least three of him. "How much have you had to drink?" He asked, his thumb swiping across my bottom lip. They were still a little sensitive from the kiss we shared. I bit my lip and his eyes stayed on my mouth. "Where's Nathan? You should attend the party. He will take me back home."He moved his hand behind and bumped his fist on the partition twice, his eyes not moving from my face. The limo pulled out of the garage, instantly. "Do not address Nathan as if he is your savior.""He is my bodyguard." I met his eyes as I said that.He put his arm around me and pulled me over his lap, my knees hit either side of his spre

    Daniel I had bailed on my wife the very next day. The kiss was rather unexpected. Not that I hadn't been having day dreams about her perfect lush lips. In fact, I was actively avoiding her ever since that night I realized how much I wanted to kiss her. Then she kissed me at Crystal's party and I had been struggling to get rid of her taste stamped permanently on the bed of my tongue. It had been two weeks since then and I still dreamt of her in my bed, on her back, me buried deep inside her, and us kissing. I hated to be married to her but she had become a potent elixir for me. Who owns your heart? She had dared to ask me that question and I would've answered her instantly if I hadn't kissed her earlier. I knew it was a mistake to be around her but I wanted it more than I had ever wanted anything in my life. Maybe that's the reason I hadn't had proper sleep ever since I escaped her. There was no reason for me to come onsite for this one particular business deal but I had intentiona

    There was more than one reason I broke down in front of my husband. First and foremost, my father's chemotherapy. And the second one was his presence itself. I didn't expect him to be there, and no matter how much I wanted to ignore the overwhelming emotions of meeting him when I most needed someone to hold me, I couldn't look past it. I needed him, and he was there, the only other family I had apart from my father, even though it was just for the namesake.He had once again ghosted me for two weeks, no contact, nothing, a clean cut as if I didn't exist in his life. It shouldn't have bothered me that much after all. By then, it had become a common occurrence. And I really, honestly tried to avoid the painful tugging in my heart every time I thought about him. I utilized all those longing days to spend time with my father, who had his chemo scheduled for that morning. I had just returned from his facility after watching him go through with the horrible procedure, and another shocking,

    DanielI stayed outside the bathroom while she cried under the shower. If she really thought I wouldn't hear her heartbreaking sobs then she couldn't be more wrong. She was fierce when angry, irresistible when turned on and fucking baby when she sobbed. But the most annoying of her traits so far had been her stubbornness. It was no longer her decision to decide if she needed me or not. I couldn't just let her suffer alone. So, I set the water bottle on the bedside table, sat on the edge of the bed and waited impatiently for her to get out of the bathroom. After what felt like the most anxious few minutes of my life, she finally emerged, with her curls pulled back in a ponytail and a towel wrapped around her middle. She stopped by the door when spotted me sitting on our bed, waiting for her. Her eyes were red and puffy and her nose had a reddish tint as she rubbed them with her small fist, looking down at her bare feet. Too much cuteness. I was smitten by her and I didn't know why m

    My dad was no more. I had to accept that and move on. The only problem was - I didn't know how. All the memories came back to me as constant nightmares over the next few days. And it was good to have Daniel wrap me in his warmth whenever my heart turned cold. He held me as I cried and took care of my grieving self. On the day of the funeral he stood by my side along with his entire family. He took care of the burial arrangements and the service. I was thankful that someone was there for me to handle things for me. I had Daniel.After the service my husband took me home and prepared a warm bath for me. And as I stripped naked right in front of him, he watched me leaning against the door frame. In that moment I didn't see lust and desire in eyes, it was love. It was definitely love when he walked up to me and stood behind me, watching my sad, somber face through the mirror and then tilted my chin to make me look into his eyes. "You don't have to hide your pain from me, Lily. I'm here

    Daniel’s POVIt wasn’t until I walked into Vincent’s hospital room that the seriousness of the situation hit me. To my utter shame, it was the first time I was visiting him in person. I knew from the beginning that he was suffering from some kind of fatal illness but I never really bothered to go in depth. In my arrogant mind, I had always considered his medical condition a sham that his daughter used to marry a billionaire. I couldn’t be more wrong.Nathan greeted me with a dull face. I squeezed his shoulder as a gesture of gratitude for being there for Lily in my absence. He’d informed me how Lily didn’t take the news well and since then my heart had been aching for her. I glanced at my wife sitting by her father’s bed, her head placed on the bed beside his head. “She hasn’t spoken a word since morning,” Nathan said.I nodded at him and walked over to the small figure hunched over her father’s side. A dying man in his late fifties. Vincent was gaunt and the color of his hospital-gre

    They say when something bad is about to happen, you get the signs beforehand. Well, I didn’t get the signs right then.The dream I woke up from starred a happy married couple diving in deep blue water and it was us. Me and Daniel. I didn’t remember much of the dream, but I recalled his midnight eyes and charming smile as he signed a ‘heart’ to me.I laid on my back and pressed a hand against the ache in my chest. As the fog of sleep blinked away, I realized it was too much to ask of him. He did not choose to get married to me, much less fall in love. Whatever chemistry we shared in bed was all I would get from him. For my part, I’d finally admitted to myself that I wouldn’t mind to be wife for as long as he behaved like a gentleman and not a spoiled asshole.It felt nice not to wake up to a horde of zombies dolling you up. From what it appeared Marianne did not invade my bedroom first thing in the morning. It could also be because of the hunk of a man sleeping next to me. We had ma

    I looked out of the window as the car stopped at the security gates and our villa came into focus. Home, trees lining the long driveway and I saw our rich neighborhood where I felt belonged somehow. That feeling hadn’t been there when Daniel brought me there the very first time but now being wrapped in his warmth and his hand draped over my shoulder possessively, my perspective about the place had changed.I turned to Daniel. “Are you going to stay home today?”Something passed on his face as if he wasn’t expecting that question from me. He nodded. “Yes, of course I’d be home today.” He squeezed my hand, leaning forward. “I know it’s hard to believe but I keep my promises. I gave you my words to perform my duties as your husband from now on and that certainly involves being at home with you when I don’t have to be at work.”My heart picked up that violent thudding. Every word, every action had my heart and soul pining for him. I nodded, settling back in the seat. He’d be sleeping in m

    The first warning came with a bouquet of daisies, my favorite and a note written in cursive. The black inked words almost mocked me.- You’re living a lie. Hope you enjoy the kisses while they are on your lips. A mockery, indeed.I snorted, crushed the piece of paper and tossed it in the dustbin along with the beautiful daisies which were grating my heart. A hand wrapped around my waist just in time to put out the fire rising within me. It was the touch of affection that came in the form of my husband. Daniel planted a kiss at the back of my neck and turned me around in his arms to search my face.“Why do you look so gloomy this fine morning, love?” He whispered, nudging my nose with his. He had just pulled himself off the bed and was gloriously naked, his tousled hair tickling my face. Daniel was an affectionate sleeper, spooning me the whole night and whispering dirty words he had been dreaming about us even in his slumber. I stayed awake for most of the night to live the moment.“

    "More Wine?" I looked up from my plate with a smile. "Getting me drunk, Mr. Rutherford?" His smile lines appeared as he took a sip of his whiskey and shook his head. "No, I like you in all your senses, Mrs. Rutherford." We were in one of the most beautiful restaurants, surrounded with extravagant French food, and dinning at a table by the window. He had persuaded me not to worry about my calories and promised to relieve Marianne from her duties as my handler once we went back home. It was an act solely offered by my husband and he wasn't taking my disapproval or his mother for that matter on it. I look outside to find a few photographers chatting among themselves and taking a shot or two every once in a while. A constant grate on my heart. "Are you not enjoying the food?" Daniel asked, breaking a lobster and bringing the fleshy part to my lips. I let him feed me and distracted myself with the starry sky to stop swooning over him. "As a matter of fact, I am.

    I should have never sought information about Amber Lee. But the newborn possessive wife in me did everything in her power to do a background check on her husband's ex. Given that I had such a skilled bodyguard as my friend I only had to ask him twice before Nathan slipped enough details about my Daniel's obsession over Amber. Turned out the rich brat had fallen for an equal in his category and when things got real, Amber crushed his heart to flee the country without leaving so much as a clue for her parents or boyfriend about her whereabouts. It broke Daniel to the point that he sabotaged his position as the next CEO of Rutherford Development and turned into an emotionless badboy overnight. Then he had done it all to get Amber's attention. He hoped his actions would lure his girlfriend out of her secret hideout but nothing worked. All of these details were still digestible for me but the fact that he accepted his father's proposal to marry me in the same hopes that it would bring h

    I woke up to a dim room, the dark colored shades of the window restricting the afternoon light. The room was empty and so was the other side of the bed. I laid there for a moment, thinking, trying to sort out where Daniel might be. It was his day off from work and he had promised me to take on a tour around the city. If anything, I should be happy but the heaviness in my heart had been too much to bear. It wasn't a secret anymore that my husband had started making a home in my heart. And the most scary part was me not holding myself from feeling for him. What happened to the girl who vowed not to fall for his charms? She might've fallen captive to my husband's addictive touches and his romantic whispers.Daniel made sure to leave his print on me, inside out. We hadn't gotten any sleep. Hardly any. In fact, every time I drifted off, he pulled me back to my senses with him inside of me, sensually fucking again. And if that wasn't enough, his dirty, needy words kept me working up the wh

    Daniel How did I get so wrapped up in this chaos? It was easier to hate her and have lustful thoughts about her at the same time. But now I didn't know exactly what my feelings were for her. One moment I wanted to run away from her and the moment she got far enough not being able to touch, I craved her for my dear life. And the worst part was - it wasn't just her touch I craved, it was all of her. I needed to be around her to calm my anxiety down. I wanted to be the reason she smiled and I had to be the only man she would look for when in need of a friend. Not some bodyguard I assigned to look after her well-being. Lust could be a dangerous thing. It can lead you up to that hill where you won't be able to distinguish between your body's and heart's desires. And I was going up that cliff, hanging on the edge and ready to fall any moment. One look at the woman sleeping beside me and I was already falling. She looked like both my redemption and demise.
