Chapter 18: Chapter 18

He didn’t have to finish as I instantly slammed my lips on him, pulling him in shock. He instantly recovered and smirked, “I’ve been stopping myself for days now, Ellaina. I want to lick you and touch you in even more places.”

I gulped. Well, at least, that was my imagination but it didn’t happen. Wait, why am I imagining him doing that to me?

Am I that stressed to imagine that kind of thing? I shook my head to clear away my thoughts.

Instead, Ajax nodded understandingly, going over to me and sitting beside me. He then leaned and I closed my eyes, waiting for his lips but when I only felt cold hair hitting, I opened my eyes to see him looking down.

He cleared his throat, “I’m glad you liked it.” He sighed in relief. “Make sure you eat, Ellaina, I’m concerned about your health.”

I nodded, but scowled as I realized what he just said, “Concerned? Why would you be concerned?”

He sighed, “I asked you, manager, how have you been dealing with anything, and he mentioned that you have some eating problems.” He finally spilled.

I blinked, Manager Smith revealed that to him. Damn. At this point on, I think that Manager Smith might have revealed every little information and detail about me to him and this man right here has been idly taking notes.

“As soon as I knew that, I made sure that I know how to cook for you….so I tried to I have to make sure you eat.”

But knowing how he made an effort for me made something in my stomach flip. No one had done that for me…

I wanted to take another spoonful but I could sense that he was still watching me. “What about you? Aren’t you going to eat?”

He shrugged, “Just seeing you eat the dinner I cooked already made me full.”

Tsk, I scoffed at his cheeky remark. “If I get fat? It would be your fault, Ajax, I’m telling you.”

“That’s alright, that way I wouldn’t have to have many rivals. I will still love you no matter what state your body is.” He said and I rolled my eyes.

“You know what, just eat, I might get diarrhea from all of that.” I said then stopped, “Or is it you have plans of poisoning me?”

He suddenly burst into laughter, “Am I that evil in your head? I would never do that to you, my love.”

We then continued bantering on and with his constant teasing and my snide remarks, I was able to finish the food he made. He just ate a little and decided to keep all the remaining food in the refrigerator.

I then grabbed all the plates and offered to watch the dishes, much to his aggressive complaints. He wouldn’t even want me to lift a finger but due to my constant pride, he finally gave in and let me touch the dish sponge.

I started to wash the plates we used and felt him staring at me from behind. I glanced at him and caught him staring at my neck.

I raised my eyebrow, “What?”

He just shrugged, “I just can’t believe it. Having you here, cooking for you, letting you wash my dishes. I was just dreaming about this last year.” He suddenly said and added, “It feels like we’re..husband and wife.”

I instantly hit him lightly in the sides, “What are you imagining there for us to lead like that role?”

He pouted and slowly snaked his arms on my waist as he lay on my shoulder. She sniffed my neck and I could sense him smiling from my back, “Why? it’s not bad to dream and do you hate the idea of having me as your husband?”

I wanted to push him away but I just let him rest on me. “Uhm…no…but-”

“See? If that’s it, then what are you waiting for? Just be with me, Ellaina.”

I suddenly stopped, not having the energy at that point on. “We already talked about this, Ajax.”

He nodded and mumbled, “I know, and I perfectly understand you, babe. I am willing to wait.”

His hand then suddenly slide on my belly and whispered in my ear, “Are you full?”

I nodded, “Yes.”

“Good. Because I’ll be the one eating you later.”

I widened my eyes at him and tilted my head as a warning, “What? What did you just say, Ajax?”

He instantly shook his head, “Nothing, haha. I was just teasing you.”

He was about to lean in and I instinctively yawned Ajax had a small smile on his face as he was quick to notice how tired I was as he instantly, “Alright, I won’t do anything for tonight.”

I raised my eyebrows at him questioningly at that, “What? So you were planning to do anything to me tonight, were you?

He shook his head and I scoffed, “Liar. Where’s the contract? Did you already ask your lawyer to make one?”

He scratched the back of his head, “Ooops I forgot.”

“Did you? Or did you just purposely forget it so you won’t have to sign the agreement we have made?”

“No, I was not thinking about that.” He then offered for me to get in the room assigned to me. “Rest up, I know you are tired from today’s events.”

I nodded, seeing him walk away when I turned around to call him again, “Ajax?”

He instantly turned around at my call, “Yes, babe?” I could see him staring at my lips and he bit his.

I was a bit hesitant to mutter this but I forced myself, “Thank you. For everything…”

He nodded, putting his hands in his pockets and leaning on the wall behind him, “You’re welcome, anything for you.”

I smiled, “Goodnight then.”

“Goodnight, I’ll see you tomorrow.” And with that, he walked to his room across from me with the lights turned off.

I went into my room and looked around since I didn’t have the chance to do it earlier.

Well, there was basic furniture like a queen-sized bed, bedside table, some plants situated at the side, and a vanity area. I could see that Ajax made an effort to make this room very homey since the room’s theme was nude colored and the design was very minimalistic. Perfect for my taste.

To my right was a door, leading to my bathroom where there were necessities like shampoos, conditioners, soaps, bath bombs, and candles for the bathtub beside.

Good, I can’t wait to relax my body. It has been tense for the whole day and I need to unwind. But what I like the most is the closet room attached to this room. I checked it and saw there were already designer items placed neatly inside.

From dresses, shirts, skirts, pants, and even belts, bags, and heels, it was all complete. To the vanity area were makeup and jewelry and my mouth just widened.

I screamed internally from excitement, feeling happy with all of this. I mean, this is much neater than the clothes. I have it back in my condo. So that’s why Ajax told me to not bring anything because he did indeed buy me everything I need here.

I guess I have to thank him. He planned it all. So he also predicted this would happen?

I instanlty threw my body on the soft mattress and sighed, closing my eyes for a second.

Goodness, what a day.

I relaxed for a bit, but later on, decided to spoil myself. I decided to turn on the bathtub and bathed with a bath bomb, turning on the candle to add to the mood.

I let myself fall on the tub naked and closed my eyes for a few seconds but then stopped when the lights suddenly turned off and the candle also.

I instantly grabbed the towel to cover my body and let out the one thing I have in mind, “Ajax!”

Soon enough, I could hear footsteps outside followed by the door opening and Ajax was breathing deeply, panicking, “What happened?”

“The lights turned off,” I said, covering my body as I felt his eyes roaming it for a split second.

“Oh, you were bathing?” He mumbled then gulped, “That is strange, I made sure to pay the bills and had the electrician fix it last week.” He mumbled, eyes still glued on me.

He then called somebody and sighed soon after, “They said there was a power interruption.”

I sighed, knowing how this normally occurs here in the country. “You’re a billionaire yet you don’t have a generator?”
