Cade and Ophelia entered the house and sat down on the couch in the living room. They had just made it back from the wedding ceremony, they had ended everything earlier since it was not like they had more things to do.
“Uggh” Ophelia exclaimed as she pushed herself further into the chair.
“What is it?” Cade asked looking at her from the corner of his eyes. Her eyes were shut closed which made her look so peaceful and calm.
“Can’t I exclaim?” she was in defence mode, it felt like he was trying to judge her.
“Of course you can I just wanted to know,” he said confused. The books she had successfully delivered to him made men seem this way, overcaring about everything and even encouraging their women to talk more.
“My legs hurt so much” she added with a groan.
“I can remember clearly telling you to change but you insisted on keeping on the heels to look good in case anyone took a picture of you unawares” he said before raising his head to look at her legs.
“Thank you for the reminder of my choices, i am so glad to have the commentary, the best one so far” she murmured sarcastically.
Cade stood up and took off what was left of his tuxedo before rolling up his sleeves and taking off his tie. “What are you doing?” she asked narrowly opening his eyes.
“Undressing,” he said naughtily like there was nothing more to it. She looked at him and was proud that she had chosen his tuxedo for the wedding, he looked hot in them and she was sure all the blogs would have something to say about the clothes. She hoped that the designer was grateful to her for her help.
‘I wonder how much hotter he would look with the tux off him’ she thought to herself and shook off the thought from her mind. This was his fault, why did he have to tell her that he was undressing? Why did she have to ask? Now her mind was filled with dirty thoughts about him.
“Oh please don’t do that” she said dismissing him with a hiss.
“Do what?” he asked as he stepped out of the room inot the next room.
She opened her eyes to check if he had left and let out a sigh of relief since he had already left the place. She could not believe how hot he was. “Are you sexually frustrated?” she asked herself as she closed her eyes and leaned back to her former position.
She soon felt a warm hand around her legs and that jolted her up. She sat up straight and yanked her leg from his grip. He looked up at her like a deer caught in the headlights. ‘Why did he look so cute too?’
“What are you doing?” she was impressed with how much willpower she had to be able to resist just kissing him there and then. She remembered how his lips felt on hers from earlier at the ceremony but she was not going to do it.
“You said your legs hurt and I brought you this” he said taking up the flipflop he had managed to find in the next room after a bit of searching.
“Oh but why?” she asked staring at the flipflops she had planted. She had taken the liberty of redecorating the house and putting things in place. It might be an arranged marriage turned contract but there was no way she was going to live in a boring house just because of that.
So after they had come here the first time, she had slowly been moving things around and redecorating as much as she could. It had to be at least liveable for her to have some kind of peace.
“Because you said your feet hurt?” he asked puzzled at her question.
“Yeah it does, why would you change it for me?” she asked again.
He wondered why she asking the same question when he had given her an answer. “Just change out of this first” he said taking her legs and unbuckling the shoes.
“Then what?” she asked blinking at him.
“What do you mean then what?” he asked just as confused as she seemed to be.
“You just said I should take off my shoes first and then after I take off my shoes what do I do?” she asked like a child waiting to be fed instructions.
“Maybe you can take off your dress too” he replied not thinking so much about it. She had to change out of the dress and into something more comfortable and so did he.
“WHAT!” She let out a scream, her hand covering up her chest.
“Why did you scream?” he asked taken aback by her scream. He was still composed and taking off her shoes before slipping them into the flip-flops he had found.
“Are you asking me to undress here?” she asked as he stood up. He shook his head.
“Of course not, you have to go there to do that” he replied pointing to the staircase.
She nodded now realizing her mistake, why did her mind travel so far, she was now embarrassed so she took up her dress in her hands and pulled it with her towards the staircase before quickly pouncing away.
Cade wondered if anything he had said suggested what she had meant. He sat on the couch waiting for her. Following her would be strange at this point but he also wanted to take off his clothes. He would do that when she was back down and then they could discuss.
He was not going to tell her that he had read the book and was trying to practice from it, she would mock him a bit and he was not in for that at all. He had called the books a useless waste of time but he was curious about the kind of things she liked so he read them and could not stop till he got to the end.
