Chapter 72: Chapter 72

"Past is painful, Present is Happiness."[Riley Brown]

*******

Her palms immediately covered her eyes and she stopped screaming.

'Gosh! I might have a nosebleed if I kept staring at his sinfully well-built body.'

"Oh My God! Wear something, Mindy." Riley yelled through gritted teeth still covering her eyes.

Christian turned around and looked at her shy posture. His smile widened. As he internally yelled, 'Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.'

"Honey. What are you shying off? There is nothing you haven't touched last night." He teased, barely a second later his breath sprayed on her neck but she didn't remove her palms from her eyes to the drool-worthy body. The heat between him and her increased, unnaturally and she tried to shrink her neck.

"Did you wear something?" She questioned, and her voice came out as a whisper.

"Yeah. You can open your eyes now Honey."

The moment she opened her eyes, she came face to face with him. His chocolate Brown eyes drowned her and she was unable to resist as he kissed her again.

For the next ten minutes, they were making out crazily. After he left her, Riley realized She was tricked by him. The realization that she was enjoying the kiss as much as he made her feel mad. Her fingers were still running through his luscious locks.

"Honey, You love my hair? Don't you?"

Riley's eyes widened and her mouth hung open. Immediately she left his hair as if it had burned her. His hair now looked messier, all thanks to her but she still found him adorable. The fact that she still found him adorable even though he was teasing her irritated her.

Contrary to Christian's good mood, Riley found his cheeky behavior quite annoying.

"I. I."

"Don't worry about it, Honey. I am all yours. Your man. Your dog. Heck, you can do anything you want with me." His words intoxicated her while eyes turned suggestive.

'My man. My Dog. God! Can do anything.' Her intoxicated Dark black pools, we're fascinating. Her eyes fixed upon Christian, as immovable as a setter at the scent of a quail.

"I need to use the bathroom." Said Riley dodging his eyesight with almost an air of idiocy. Her response was the exact opposite of how shy she looked. Christian was quite delighted with her as he took her body that was wrapped in a blanket in his arms. Princess style and she exclaimed loudly.

"What are you doing Mindy. I can not do that again. I am tired."

Her words made him laugh. 'What a naughty woman. She is still thinking I will have sex with her again.'

Without giving her a response he walked into the bathroom and left her in the bathtub.

'Oh No. When did my thoughts become so naughty? He just wanted to take me to the bathroom and I thought. God!' She said out loud to herself.

While Christian who was closing the door listened and stifled a laugh. Humming a song he prepared a coffee for her and some eggs. After almost half an hour when Riley was done with the shower and accepting the fact that she had lost her virginity to her husband she came out wrapped up in a pink towel while her hair was wrapped in another white towel that was his. As she looked around from the bathroom door she found no one in the room. Breathing a sigh of relief she stepped inside but jumped the next second to see Her husband rummaging through the small wardrobe.

As if realizing her presence he turned around and swallowed hard. His gaze penetrated her body from head to toe. He glanced at her eyes, then her chest, and then to her bare feet, and at last his gaze stuck on her chest. But in the end, he suppressed himself and said in a gentle tone.

"Oh, you are done showering Honey. Come here on the bed."

Riley tried to not stare at him but she found it uncontrolled as her eyes moved from his blue jeans to a white t-shirt. His face was perfectly clean. While his eyes looked gentle behind those white eyeglasses. He looked as fine as a hot nerd. Yet the corner of his eyes made him look more like a hot legendary nerdy fox.

" Why?" Not even batting an eyelash she raised a question.

"Well. He paused and smiled at her." I will tell you if you come here." He pointed to the bed and she noticed the bed sheet was replaced by a fresh black one, and their clothes were discarded from the ground.

"Okay." She walked towards him in a tense way.

Christian frowned, rolling his shoulders back and she caught a glimpse of scratching marks on his neck, chest since it was a v- necked t-shirt.

'God. Did I do that! How wild I was' her cheeks turned redder and her walk turned slower. Even then she was near him within two minutes, Thanks to the little home they had.

He leaned against the wooden black wardrobe.

"Sit on the bed Honey."

"But."

"Please." She considered for a moment and realized her behavior was wrong. It wasn't like he would do anything bad to her.

"Fine." Just as she sat down he stretched his legs and walked towards the bed. Riley held her breath and tried to relieve her overthinking mind.

He sat behind her and took the towel from her hair.

"What are you doing Mindy?"

"Honey can call me Darling, or sweetheart or honey from Now on. Mindy sounds more like a child's name." She winced as a strand of her hair was pulled off. He apologized as if feeling her pain.

"I am sorry Honey."

'God he wants me to call him Darling? Honey? Or sweetheart?' She cringed at the thought of calling him from these names but kept her thoughts to herself.

He ran his long fingers through her hair and she stiffened.

'Does he still have the intention to do that again?' She questioned herself in the mind but remained silent. 'He is just running his fingers through your hair, not your butt, it doesn't mean he wants to do kinky shit with you, stop thinking so much.' Her stupid brain mocked her. She exhaled. She didn't want to be embarrassed in front of him again by that too by her own words.

All her worry went out the window as the voice of the hairdryer came from behind. He held her hair up and the hot air blew on her hair. And neck, instantly she relaxed.

'He wanted to blow dry my hair! God! He is so sweet. How could I be so cruel to think so wrong about him?'

"Honey. I think you should take a day off today. You must be tired from all the exercises." Christian spoke in a gentle tone.
