Chapter 50 WARM AND STRONG

I look at him in a daze and his arms find their way around my waist, as usual, He pulls me towards him, his eyes dark and focused on my face, he hungrily traces my face features and I gulp feeling hot.

I know what his intentions are…. But, I am confused and start to feel uncomfortable by his sudden closeness to me, “Penny for your thought?” He asks, intrigued.

“I… am… confused…” I falter and his gaze deepens with interest.

“Why?” He prompt.

“Because… we are not a couple… And neither we share a bond as husband and wife.” I say fairly.

“But we share a room now, and perhaps things will change soon.” He says calmly as he tucks the strand of my hair behind my ear.

“I don’t think so,” I mutter, looking away from him.

“Hah…” He takes a deep sigh, “I told you we should take things slow…” He breathes heavily.
