Chapter 341 - Three Hundred And Forty-two: The Possessive Wife (2/2)
”Well,” my voice was smoldering, ” You know how to take care of yourself,” I lifted his chin, ”Just think of me while doing so,”
A smile curved his mouth, ”I love you woman,”
His smile must have been infectious because I smiled too and left the bathroom before this tamed lion changed his mind.
”Alright, this is it,” I motivated myself knowing there was another plan after this luxurious bathing. By the time I was through, I picked the little backpack I had brought in earlier and changed into a swimsuit.
The hotel was built on a strategic site with a beach just outside and there was no way in hell I wouldn't explore that. I was here to have fun with my husband and make beautiful memories that I would hold on to. Besides, Isabella would laugh at me to scorn if I don't return with photographs of our rendezvous - she claims her father wouldn't let me out of his sight.
”How do I look?” I asked as soon as I cat walked into the bedroom with a hopeful smile.
Niklaus froze, he glanced up at me from my head to my toes and then from my toes back to my head once again before resting on my slightly exposed breast and my revealed thigh.
”Say something, Niklaus,” I was beginning to feel awkward under his scorching scrutiny, not to mention that I was in a pose and my toes couldn't balance my weight anymore.
”What is this?” His taut voice didn't sound promising; he seemed about to explode. Sigh, what was I even thinking marrying a possessive husband?
”Yeah!” I attempted to lighten this tense environment, ”Going to the beach, remember?”
His eyes roved over me once more, ” In that?”
”What's wrong with that?” I pointed to my body. I was wearing a bandeau-style bikini top which is a strapless top that goes straight across. This one has a circular insert that's super cute and a bit modest compared to others.
”I don't like it,” He said dismissively.
”Niklaus, come on! This is not even a throng!” I argued with him.
”The swell of your breast and butt cheeks is visible, so no,” He claimed.
”We are going to a beach, you seriously don't expect me to go in a ground sweeping gown and long sleeve - what's the fun then? Half of the woman out there would be clad in a similar outfit!”
”You are not like other women,” He growled at me, ”You are special...” he added slowly,” To me,”
My mouth opened wide from astonishment, however…. ”Still, this doesn't mean I'll -”
”Give me a sec,” He interrupted me and went into the wardrobe, ruffling through his unpacked bag for something.
”What's he searching for?” I mumbled, curiosity written all over my face.
Not less than a minute later, Niklaus returned with a chiffon lace beach cover-up kimono while my mouth remained open, shocked.
”How did you know to get this?” I was surprised, taking the kimono from him.
”Well, I saw the beach while I was searching up the hotel and had a feeling you'd like to try it out. I just had to make sure I had some necessary stuff in place,” He claimed.
”Alright,” I nodded, lips pursed as I wore it, ”Not bad. At the least, you have a sense of fashion,” I said, feeling the green flowered pattern that fitted my purple swimsuit.
”So your husband is extremely knowledgeable, what does he get fir a reward?” he teased, coming closer.
I gestured him to come a bit closer which he did expectantly and just when he thought I was going to kiss him, muttered into his ear, ”Go wash up,” then patted him on the chest and left.
”Women,” Niklaus shook his head, laughing.
Unlike me who had spent an eternity in the shower, Niklaus didn't even last two minutes and he was out, ready to leave and wearing a normal swimming trunk. I frowned, why was his chest opened but comforted myself with the fact his trunks was a match with the kimono.
The weather was sunny and there were a lot of people at the beach, but that wasn't my problem. My current problem was why all the women were staring at my husband?
There were other men out there but the moment Niklaus arrived, he stood out from the crowd and there was even a lady who dared to wink at him. Anger like no other coursed through my veins and made me see red, why was I acting like a possessive wife?
