Chapter 256: Ohhh! A Husband

Nora lay on the couch staring at the ceiling. She was bored, out of her mind. They’d already discussed their plan countless times, Lucien and Evangeline had handled the conference superbly and Demetri was now overseeing the plans for starting the projects in Estania. While she was the only one with nothing to do.

She wondered if she should take up her studies again but then decided against it, for now. A year had already been wasted and it would be a few months till a new semester began.

With a pout, she turned to stare at the fine specimen of a man who was her husband. His hand was absently tracing circles on her leg while he read the files and she was the one suffering for it, too aware of that hand. She wondered if he even realized what he was doing.

Suddenly, an idea struck her. A sly grin covered her face as she slowly wriggled her toes, ready to move them. Slowly, she slid her toe across his bare arm letting him feel the warmth. She watched him like a hawk and grinned as his hand clenched on the file and on her other leg for the barest of a moment. Ha! She had caught his attention.

She let a moment pass, enjoying the subtle tease and then did the moment again. Her foot slowly wiggled its way beneath his arm to rest on his thigh, close to a little demon. As she would have wiggled herself some more, her foot was caught by a firm hand.

She looked at Demetri who was looking at her with amusement as he caught a tight hold on her foot. She tried to pull her foot out of his grasp but the man simply tightened his hold," What are you up to now, kitten?"

Nora pouted and complained," I’m just trying to get your attention. You... I thought you were different from all the other men in the world. But you are no different. Once you have what you want you all behave the same way!"

"We do?" Demetri asked bemused as he caught her wiggling toes, slowly caressing the arch of her foot.

"Of course!" On a roll now, Nora continued," See, there was a time when you used to pay attention to me. But now, you cannot even be bothered to do that! It’s been days since my memory returned and you know I have not indulged in my favourite hobby for months! But can you be bothered? No. All you know is work work work..."

Nora grinned inwardly as she met his narrowed eyes. Ha! Let him get around that. "Your favourite hobby? I thought I was your favourite hobby. And you’ve been doing me since your memory returned..."

Dam* it! This man had the talent to make everything sound so dirty! She tried to kick him with her foot but since it was still in his hand, he simply maintained his hold and r and kissed it slowly.

As their gaze met, the atmosphere turned from playful to something more... Continuing to hold her gaze, Demetri placed aside the file in his lap and moved to his knees on the couch, her foot still in his hand as he slowly moved closer to her, bringing her foot around his waist, sliding closer to her till he was between her knees.

"What... What are you doing?" Nora asked, her voice quivering with excitement. Demetri could definitely be her favourite hobby.

As his hand came to rest near her face and his face loomed over hers, Nora could only blink. She needed to keep her focus and not give in to his beauty trap...

"What does it look like I am doing kitten?"

"I... I don’t know." Nora stuttered before kicking herself mentally. Why was she mumbling like a little girl on her first time?

"Are you sure you don’t know?" His whispered words brought warmth to her face as his face came closer to her. Inadvertently, her eyes fluttered close and her lips puckered, ready to accept his kiss.

However, in the next moment, she felt cold air hit her face, as his body moved away, her leg now back on his thigh. It took her a moment to realize that she had actually fallen for his beauty trap. Her eyes narrowed at the triumphant smile on his face and she lifted her foot, ready to kick him firmly in the side! The bas*ard!

Her plan to kick him failed miserably as he caught her foot again and he tried to move again. Oh no! She was not going to let him fool her again. With a quick movement, she jerked upward, ready to push him back if he tried something again.

Unfortunately, he’d let her foot go at that same time and the abrupt movement and lack of balance caused Nora to fall headfirst onto the man, her face buried in his lap, her head almost causing him to become impotent.

Demetri’s wince of pain was covered by Nora as she moved back quickly, her face turning red. What had just happened? How did she land like that? As she noticed his expression and realized what had happened, she had to suppress her laughter with a red face," Are you alright? I didn’t damage anything important."

Demetri looked at her, his face conveying his expression with no words. " I will be. Next time, I think I’ll give you your gift directly. Its there on the table. And excuse me I need to go to the washroom."

As Demetri hightailed from there, Nora could only stare in confusion. What was he talking about?

But as she turned her head, she caught a glimpse of the entire set of books that had been placed near her head. Where did he get that from. Forgetting about her poor husband who’d been hit in the family jewels, Nora quickly grabbed the books! They were romance thrillers from her favourite authors that had been released in the past year...

Clutching the books to her chest, she looked up as Demetri returned with a stoic face. As she placed the books aside, ready to jump him, Demetri quickly caught her," Uh huh! No more jumping around! Otherwise, we’ll have to adopt in the future."
