Chapter 19: Chapter 19

Apparently, her nap had quite an effect on her bedtime. If normally her eyes could quickly be closed by midnight, she would sleep even later that day. The drowsiness didn't land on her at all, though it was past eleven at night.

Helena had tried to sleep. For almost an hour, she had been moving in her bed, trying to close her eyes, and hoped the sleepiness would come soon. This method usually was quite successful. She would relax her body and mind to enter the dream world at ease.

But, this time not, her body refused to sleep despite the above methods. Actually, there was a feeling of tiredness because she had only rolled back and forth all this time without success. Giving up, at last, she chose to get up, turn on the nightlight, and find something to do.

At first, she thought watching the drama was a good idea. But, suddenly, that desire disappeared before she even thought about the title she was going to watch. Too many times, she ended up awake until morning due to drama addiction, which made it difficult for her to stop watching. Therefore, she crossed out the watching option from her impromptu to-do list.

Suddenly, she remembered something. There was one thing she wanted to do. Trying the lingerie. She barely dared to do so because her mind always imagined the shame she would feel when she wore those transparent dresses. And the last incident with Aaron, which really humiliated her!

However, amid the dim light of the room, her confidence emerged. Helena got up from her bed and walked to the ample cupboard in her room. She stood there for a long time, wondering which one she should try first. Then, her hand moved to take a pair of black lingerie instead of the red color that Aaron preferred. Oh, why did she think about him? She was just trying and had absolutely no intention of showing it to her husband. Of course!

Helena looked at herself in front of the large mirror mounted on the outside of the closet. This lingerie was a dress that only slightly covered the top of her thighs. Laces adorned every edge of the dress and added a feminine touch to her. And obviously, the material was translucent so that all of her curves could be seen clearly. Although this transparent dress wrapped her body, she felt like wearing nothing.

Aaron would definitely go crazy when she saw her like this. Oh, she was almost naked! Only wearing underwear was much better than wearing this lingerie because even her sensitive areas were not entirely covered. She had to be careful not carelessly show this appearance to her husband. Apart from not being ready to endure the embarrassment, Aaron would definitely be happy to accuse her of tempting him.

Helena had just finished with her thoughts when suddenly, the door to her room opened. Like a statue, her body froze as a pair of brown eyes glared at her from the gap door. Aaron was there and was watching her.

He slowly opened the door that gave him access to her room. Only when the man walked quickly towards her, she realized her situation. But, it was too late. She did not have time to hide because he was already in front of her. "Wh-What do you want?" she stammered. Her arms were crossed in front of her chest, with her thighs tightly pressed together. Those were her best attempt to cover up the sensitive parts of her body that she honestly couldn't protect anymore.

His eyes moved from top to bottom, scanning every inch of the rare sight in front of him. Then a smile tugged at his lips. His smile was full of satisfaction, mixed with amusement at his wife's reaction. "I forgot to ask you for a kiss," he answered nonchalantly.

Helena widened her eyes in disbelief at hearing his answer. How could he say something like that in a situation like this? "Fine. B-But can you come out first? I'll give it in five minutes," she said, unable to hide her nervousness. No matter how hard she thought about it, this situation would benefit him if she didn't throw him out right away.

"Why later when I can ask for it now?"

She swallowed hard. What she feared came true. She really couldn't do anything when Aaron caught her wearing lingerie, which was the first time she tried on it. What bad luck!

"W-What are you doing?" Helena asked in surprise as she saw him starting to move closer to her. In a panic, her feet slowly retreated away from the source of danger that could at any time pounce on her.

"Kissing you. I already told you."

His voice sounded hoarse and full of lust. Helena knew that. Just by looking into his eyes, she realized that she had awakened her husband's wildest side. And she doubted she could escape from the lustful gaze and his lust.

Her eyes moved restlessly, looking for a way to disappear from his presence. But, of course, Aaron would not easily let her go. With quick steps, he managed to lock his wife in his embrace. Helena's position was then cornered between the wall, the cupboard, and him.

"You know something? You look so sexy right now." He deliberately said it right in her ear. Unfortunately, the dim room limited his vision. He couldn't see the blush on her face every time he teased her like that. But he was pretty amused to see his wife's reaction to his naughty comments, which she probably heard for the first time. Through the corner of his eye, he saw her hands getting tighter and tighter in front of her chest.

His hand caught her chin and forced Helena to look at him. He always liked her brown irises. Although the color was common among Asian races, he felt that her eyes were much more beautiful and lively than any similar color he had encountered. "I always like your eyes. It's so beautiful," he said, still staring at her. Yes, those eyes were his favorite. But had he told about that to his woman?

Without waiting for his wife's response, he brought his face closer to hers. They were so close that their warm breaths collided with each other. And when their lips were barely apart, he purposely stopped there to tease her even more and gave him satisfaction to stare at those rosy lips. It was only when her lips were about to open—as if to protest—he lunged at her with a passionate kiss.

Their lips pressed together to make a sound that echoed throughout the room. Their tongues intertwined and teased each other.

The kiss was deep and never short. Every time the link broke, Aaron quickly regained control of his wife's lips and ensured that Helena didn't have time to think.

His kiss must have swayed her so much that she enjoyed all the treatment she received. She had even wrapped her arms around his neck and made their bodies touch each other.

The corner of his lips rose. He smiled contentedly at Helena's growing passion. Slowly, his hands began to feel his wife's body. He used one hand to support her body, which automatically made him free to move on the back of his woman's body. While the other hand was getting wild. The hand roamed above her stomach and often anchored on the skin of her thigh.

The alarm in her head immediately rang. This was wrong. No! She didn't want it to happen at the moment. Someone had to stop it, or they wouldn't be able to stop.

Because of that, she took the initiative. Her hands moved from Aaron's neck to his shoulders and gently pushed her away. The first attempt failed. Again, she tried to move his big body in front of her out. This time with all her might until their link broke, though she couldn't separate his embrace on her body. Her breath hitched to hold back the passion that swept over her.

And when she managed to control her body, she could see his smile. That smile seemed to mock her entire behavior, from the time Aaron caught her red-handed until what she just did — forcibly separating them. However, he did not comment on anything. Instead, he removed his hand from her body.

"Thanks for this amazing night. I look forward to another surprise from you." Aaron said before walking away from her. And before his figure disappeared entirely from behind the door, he continued, "Tomorrow, you don't have to accompany me to breakfast. You're free to use your morning to hide in your room. But, you must keep your promise about having lunch together."

And it felt like Helena just wanted to disappear!
