Vivian POV
I couldn’t help but narrate every single event to Sofia over the phone and when the call had ended, Max was already up, with his gaze fixed intently at mine.
Wait, I thought he was sleeping?
” I heard all that you know. You would make a good Author Vivian” He said as he stood up and walked towards me. His steps slow and steady but dangerously mysterious. I recognized his advances.
No, I wouldn’t let him this time around if that’s what he wants. I moved back away sharply but before I could even reach for the door, he grabbed me and instantly whirled me around to face him, my back gently slammed against the door itself and his two hands trapping me in between.
“What are you doing Max, get off me” I tried to push him off from me but he pinned my two hands to the side, holding them firmly from performing any struggle further.
He inched closer, our faces inches apart ” You’re really attractive, you know that right?” He asked against my earlobes, giving it tiny thingy bites that made my insides instantly flare up with feelings.
No, I shouldn’t even be feeling this way but he always had his way of making me uselessly vulnerable against him.
“Stop touching me Max. If you so much want to sate that thing in between your legs then go find Ruth. I think she’s at the house waiting patiently for you” I struck my last blow, hoping it would have a retreating impact on him but I got the opposite of what I was expecting. It seemed like my words had ignited a different rage in him; he instantly hoisted me up like I weighed nothing, my weight fully relaxing in his arms as his eyes raked over my body. I gulped down heavily at his gaze, feeling my own urges rising against my wish.
“You’re becoming even more stubborn these days Vivian. No longer the obedient wife huh? ” He whispered, pushing his face down to my waist even as he held me in place.
“Max. Just fucking let me down right now, let me go!” I yelled, not caring if someone would hear me from the outside but at this moment, I was already fed up, especially at the fact that little touches from his could already render me useless; totally useless. It seemed like my body now developed a mind if it’s own while my mind wished entirely for something else; to push him away yet, I was already coursing with this lusting desires for him.
“I can’t Vivian. The more stubborn you prove, the more i really want to tame that side of you” He replied, tightening his grip around my waist as he turned around and carried me towards the bed.
‘No! No! No! Not another time. This wasn’t fucking happening, it wasn’t part of the deal. I didn’t accept it for Max to have me whenever he pleased’
“If you don’t fucking drop me right now, I’m going to scream” I threatened, the severity of my seriousness was clearly evident in my voice but he seemed to even care less about my rants.
He gently lowered me on the bed with a mischievous glint in his eyes ” Scream all you want, this room well soundproof wifey” He stated with ounce of pride in his features. I glared at him hatefully.
Oh I hated his guts so much yet my body was already yearning for his touches.
“You’re an asshole Max, have you no shame of touching me when you clearly have a pregnant girlfriend waiting for you at home,” I let out and in that moment, he stilled on his actions, and exactly, my words got him this time around.
“How did you find out?” He seemed confused and surprised and I rolled my eyes at him.
” You think I’m a dunce. You really think I’m that dumb Max don’t you?” I sneered with contempt.
“Get off me, if you do not want your father to know that you have a pregnant girlfriend, fucking leave me right now!”I demanded and he went silent for a few minutes, as if contemplating with my words and after a moment, he climbed off me, wiping his face with his hands in frustration.
I giggled inwardly, maybe it was time I laid out some rules to keep us in this deal.
Straightening myself from the bed, I stood up, turning to face him with a sheer look ” I’m going to set rules for this deal Max, it is no deal without a contract and just like you set me on rules there years ago, it’s my turn this time Max” I said with hinge of pride in my voice.
Good drill!
He had clearly married me and gave me set of rules and conditions which I had kept until now, except for the little secret growing inside of me.
It was my turn to put him on the same line.
Oh revenge was definitely sweet!
He looked at me for a while, as if trying to know my thoughts but I smiled.
“You want me to list them?” I asked, arching a brow at him ” After that, I would officially make it legally through Sofia, you know she’s a lawyer and she can’t wait to dig your ass out with just a word of mine”
“What do you want Vivian, spill it” He answered and I let out a long breath, stepping closer towards him with a thoroughly intense sharp gaze that reflected my irritation at the moment.
“First rule, you would never touch me” I began and he was silent.
“Second rule, you would never tell me what to do”
“Third rule, we’re not obligated to be lovey-dovey except perhaps in public but within our privacy, I am not obligated to you, to do anything as your wife be it domestically or maritally”
“And the the very last one ” I stopped, feeling the weight of victory on me
“You will___”
“I do not accept those rules Vivian” He cut in sharply on my words.
