Chapter 36: Chapter 36

"Oh, sorry, Beatrice, you have to see us like this."

Helena really wanted to hide her face right away. She was clearly caught in an embarrassing position!

Even though these scenes were in the plan drawn up shortly after Beatrice returned her greeting, it didn't dispel her embarrassment. Although the person who saw them was none other than her greatest enemy, she was still… embarrassed.

"You can put the drink on the table," she said again, trying her best to maintain confidence in her voice. She should not be afraid or nervous. She must be able to uphold her ego at the highest peak. Only this time.

From the corner of her eyes, she saw the secretary walking into Aaron's room. Her steps seemed hesitant, surprised, and rushed. While her face showed a similar expression, plus the lines of displeasure that appeared on her forehead. Of course. The woman could not do anything in front of the view presented to them.

How about a protest?

Beatrice had no right to do so.

Why?

Because Helena and Aaron's intimacy occurred in a private room that should not be entered without Aaron's permission. After all, they were husband and wife. And it was just a kiss!

"Thanks, and sorry again." Yeah, Helena deliberately repeated it again and again. From the very beginning, she had intended to bother Beatrice and make the woman realize that there was no way for her to intrude into their marriage. She wouldn't let it happen.

"It's all right, ma'am." Look, Beatrice didn't even apologize for opening the door wide. "Excuse me."

No other sound was heard other than Beatrice's movement and the echo of the sound of her heels. And through that, Helena knew that what the woman said was true about leaving this room.

"Beatrice." The call did not come from Helena but from Aaron. "Please close the door," he continued. Apparently, his brain could work quickly to digest this situation well. Oh, his wife's reaction was enough to give him a hint.

Beatrice didn't answer, but she obeyed her superior's orders. The door closed again. This time, it really was closed tightly.

Then, a burst of laughter filled the entire room, and it came from Aaron.

She was right, wasn't she? He would surely laugh at her. "Stop it," she muttered with pursed lips. However, her voice even lost out to her husband's laughter.

"Sorry, honey. But I wanted to laugh a little longer." Aaron chimed in between his laughs. Presumably, he enjoyed the dramatic scene that just appeared before his eyes. Ah, he was also involved in it. It was ridiculous! "You're really unpredictable," he added, commenting on her behavior. From the very beginning, when he caught the look in his favorite brown eyes, to be honest, he had already guessed that there was something odd about his wife. Unfortunately, his brain was unable to guess about this so far.

"I want to repay her," Helena said frankly, still with a sullen expression. She wanted him to stop laughing at her. It made her sink even deeper into the maelstrom of her shame.

"I know. And my acting at the end wasn't bad, was it?"

She let out a loud grunt. What was good about it? He merely told Beatrice to close the door. Just that.

Aaron saw the change and the discontent implied on her face. "Or do you want me to do something extreme? Like this." After saying that, he landed his lips on her neck and kissed it non-stop.

"Stop it, Aaron!" She exclaimed amid the tickling sensation and lust that had been increasing since she had freed herself completely.

"Why?" He lifted his head to look at his woman's eyes. "You started it. That means you gave the green light for me to start our sex."

Helena widened her eyes in disbelief. "H-Here?"

"Why not? There's a comfortable couch here that can accommodate us." He responded quickly. "You know? Making love on the couch isn't a bad idea. All we need to do is lock the door and get started." He continued in a seducing tone.

She was sure her face must have turned bright red by now. Her decision to launch an impromptu plan seemed to be wrong. She had opened the door wide to humiliate herself, either by her actions or her husband.

Helena was about to get up from his lap. She couldn't stand being around him any longer. It was her sanity that was being tested here.

But she forgot. Completely forgot. Aaron wouldn't let her go that easily, especially after volunteering to do this.

"You haven't answered yet," said Aaron, not loosening his hands that wrapped her body.

Her eyebrows knitted together. "What?" she asked in confusion.

"Should we have sex here?" He deliberately said it right in her ear. Inwardly, he smiled amusedly, waiting for her response. How pretty would the blush on her cheeks be?

Her lips tightly clenched, holding back a mixture of feelings that felt like they might explode at this very moment. Aaron was outrageous!

And so, she released herself in one swift and decisive motion.

That was when he burst into a laugh. His wife was adorable when she was upset.

"I'll cancel my plan to come with you to Bali," Helena uttered loudly. It was the last courage she had in this situation. If they weren't in the office, she would... she would...

What would she do? Hiding?

Aaron had often made fun of her for that.

Perhaps, she would continue her flirting and make him desperately wish for their sex.

But could she really do it?

The laughter on his lips suddenly stopped and was replaced with a surprised expression mixed with disapproval. "Cheater," he said suddenly.

"I'm not," She replied after gaining her composure.

"Yes. You broke your promise." He didn't want to lose at her. "Last night, you agreed to come with me."

"I canceled it. Come to think of it, I'm not interested in going with you. I'd better go there myself." She slightly raised her chin to challenge him. She had a bit of a winning position because she knew exactly what her husband wanted. Vacation and, well... their first sex. It might replace an unprecedented honeymoon.

Remember, the beginning of their marriage was filled with the cold war between them.

So, she guessed that he would do anything to make it happen.

"No," said Aaron flatly. He took her hand and said, "We'll go together. Please. I can't hold it anymore. I want everything in you."

Helena wanted to laugh, but she held it in as hard as possible. A sympathy ran through her heart as she saw how desperately he wanted her. It appeared that Helena could no longer delay it. Apart from being curious about how their first sex would be, she had kept him waiting for a long time.

"Then don't make fun of me anymore."

His body straightened with an obedient look on his face. "Yes, ma'am!" But a second later, he returned to his original position. "Let's have lunch."

And yes, Aaron obeyed the request that automatically became an order from her. They turned that intimacy into a chat over lunch.
