She stood there for a while, looking at his saintly handsome face.
Without her noticing, she was now sitting at the coffee table. Looking at Xander's seductive lips, she feels her whole body burning with the flame of lust.
Her sultry thoughts that often came up after meeting Xander overtook her mind in no time. She wanted more, not only to see but to touch and feel his lips on hers!
'Damn Scarlett!! Stop now, or you will get in trouble! For sure!!' She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to calm her mind.
After a while...
She opened her eyes again. She satisfied her eyes to see this perfect being that God had created.
"How can there be a man as perfect as you, Xander Riley!?" Softly, she whispered as she peeked at his sturdy chest from the gap in his bathrobe.
Her eyes didn't stop there but slowly lowered toward his stomach and the thing between his legs. She gulped silently as a shameless thought suddenly crossed her mind.
She sandwiched her cheeks with her hands. Then scolded herself in her heart, 'Damn it!! Scarlett Piers... since when did you become this pervert!?'
"If only you were really my husband, I would never stop thanking God for sending someone as perfect as you, Xander!"
She giggles, thinking this man is only hers. She would keep Xander at home and not want to share him with others who would see his God-like face.
But her giggles gradually vanished when she remembered it was impossible to achieve that.
A long sigh escaped Scarlett's lips before she continued, "But, sadly... you're just my fake husband, Xander! I can only see you, can't touch you, let alone have you? What a sad state of affairs I was in!"
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ At this moment, she felt like someone had stabbed her in the heart with a sharp nail. She felt hurt. Her hands clenched without her realizing it, trying to hold back her desire to touch Xander's lips, but she was helpless because her hands and mind seemed to betray her.
Her hand slowly moved towards his lips. If She couldn't kiss him, at least her finger could feel his tender lips. She wanted to imagine how soft and warm his lips were. But, before she could touch, her senses returned. She stopped! Then, withdrew her hand quickly.
How embarrassing if this man knew she had the urge to kiss him, she couldn't let him know. She couldn't stay there either! Or else, she might kiss him. For real!
Scarlet stood up, but before she could leave, someone caught her hand. She quickly turned around to look behind her and was shocked when she saw Xander's bright eyes staring at her.
Instantly her heart felt like it had stopped beating!
"X-Xander... You awake!? I thought you were sleeping..." She asked haltingly. "...YOU! Are you pretending to be sleeping? Did you hear what I just said!?"
Instantly her face reddened.
Earlier, she talked a lot to express her feelings. If this man pretends to sleep, he must hear everything and know her true feelings!
Too embarrassed to look at him, she pulled her hand away and ran towards the bedroom. After she slammed the door behind her, she locked it and leaned on it! She couldn't face him now. She was too stupid to say what was in her heart.
Scarlett was walking back and forth in the room, cursing herself for being too stupid while praying to God that Xander wouldn't hear what she said.
However, of course, God is not on her side! Instead, sided with Xander. The man heard everything and now knocked on the door and asked to speak to her.
'Speak!? What did he want to talk about?'
She wanted to know, but somehow she was also afraid. Afraid that this man will remind her about their deal!
'Gosh! This is so embarrassing!!' She thought.
"Scarlett, could you open the door, please? We need to talk..." For the umpteenth time, Xander knocked on the door. "You can't avoid me, Scarlett! We better talk now..."
She stopped in her tracks right in front of the door while thinking for a moment; He was right. Sooner or later, they had to talk about it. She couldn't avoid him forever.
After taking a long and deep breath, she finally opened the door and let him into the room.
"Come sit over there!" Xander walked towards the two-seater sofa that was in the bedroom.
After seeing him settle in on the sofa, she finally dragged her feet and sat beside him.
However, she couldn't bring herself to meet his eyes. She just stared at her entangled hands on her lap.
She didn't know how to start the conversation with him, as if she had lost her ability to string a sentence. She felt nervous under his gaze.
This is something new for her, feeling powerless over someone, especially a man. Contrary to her personality, she has never been afraid of anyone, not even the angel of death.
But, for some reason, her senses seem unreliable since meeting Xander — she loses her formidable sense of logic and awareness.
This man could make her heart flutter.
This man could bring out another side of her that had never appeared before.
This man can make her feel wanted to be cared for by someone else.
This man could make her feel lost if she didn't see and hear his voice.
She didn't know what was wrong with her heart and mind. She might have fallen in love with him from what she had read and heard.
Is it really Love? Or else? She doesn't know. Because, in her entire life, she had never felt anything like this.
She wanted to ask him, but how could she do that!? She would rather swallow her question than discuss her feelings with him. Never!
"Can you explain what you meant with what you said before?" Xander's gentle voice made her even more nervous. She slowly lifted her head and looked at his eyes filled with love and warmth.
"X-Xander... I don't understand what you mean!"
"I heard everything you said outside! I want to know, are you serious with what you said!?"
She opens her mouth, but no word or sound comes out...
