Chapter 35


    Maya wake up the following day to find herself in the arms of her dear husband. He had cuddled her


    from her back and it left her wondering when he did that. To her, they were only going to sleep and


    that''s what happened or at least that''s what she thought till morning.


    She thought for a while how she was going to get out of his arms without waking him up since she was


    going to avoid him today. Not because he hugged her from behind so tight that she couldn''t breath but


    because he was no sober when he apologised or rather she apologised.


    What if he woke up and thought that nothing had changed? That he had apologised to her and she to


    him? It was better to handle this things at night to avoid bad day. Maya tried to turn so that sheid of


    her back but his hold just tightened which left her wondering if he was really asleep.


    His breathing was evenly and that to her meant Chris was either half asleep or he was pretending to


    be. But it didn''t stop her from trying again and again which all she got was firm hands around her.


    Maya moved her eyes to the grandfather clock that hung on the walk to find that it was five in the


    morning. She never walk up at the time, she walk up at six and her husband walk up at five twenty to


    go for his morning jog.


    Her breath quicken when she heard someone breath on her neck. Of course it did sent shivers down


    her spine which had her hold her breath. She should''ve expected when she had a chance. Maybe gone


    to make breakfast for him with a brewing coffee for his hangover. But no, she had to struggle to be on


    her back which woke him up.


    What happened to don''t wake him? She had no idea herself and now, now she was going to pay for


    her bad choice.


    "You smell so good." Chris said still on her neck. His voice was more heavy than it usually is which


    made her amused. It''s the first time she heard his speak for his sleep and to be honest, it was sexy


    than she hated to admit. "You smell likevender and it''s driving me crazy."


    Of course it had to since he pulled her closer than she thought it was important. Her tag top had risen


    up and her skin on the back touched his bare stomach. Wait, bare? Chris had worn a tee shirt and


    sweatpants when they went to sleep and now he was wearing nothing since her legs and thigh were


    skin to skin with his. She wanted to jump out of bed but his hold held her still.


    As if reading her mind, he answered. "It was hot in the night so I got rid of my clothes." Chris nted a


    perk on her neck. "The thing is that I don''t know if it''s you who made this ce so hot or the duvet. But


    not to worry I''m in my briefs not unless you want to get rid of them yourself. To be honest, I won''t mind."


    Those words bothered Maya so much. She didn''t know why but the did and he didn''t help when he


    slide his one hand to her belly. Maya held her breath as if waiting for it to either go up or down but it did


    none. Instead, he rubbed her belly and she couldn''t miss the smirk that she felt from him on her neck.


    Things had taken a wrong turn. Not how she expected them to go. She thought Chris would have a


    hangover in the morning when he woke up and yet, here he was doing this sinful things to her. Yes,


    sinful. She hadn''t bargained for this when sheid to the bed with himst night. Please, remind her


    next time when she thinks of doing that again.


    Maya''s thoughts were pulled back when she heard pain from where Chris had been sucking for thest


    God knows how long. And that when she came to her senses and understood what he was doing. The


    bastard had given her a hickey. He had given her a freaking hickey so that whoever saw her would


    think she had a steamy night or morning.


    "Don''t worry kitten," Chris said when he felt her try to move away from him. "I was just making my


    territory. So Mr. Ambrose will see that he stands no chance."


    What was he talking about? Leonel wasn''t interested in her, at least that''s what she knew. He was just


    a friend no, in fact her best friend. Yes, he had graduated from being a friend to a best friend since he


    earned it. Maybe when she met himte today she would give him the good news and watch his


    reaction.


    But her knowing Leonel for being Leonel, he would say he knew that since the day the met and she


    being Maya, she would hit his shoulder yful and call him a name and he would pretend to be hurt but


    they wouldugh together. So Chris had no reason to be jealous of Leonel. Wait, what was she even


    saying.


    She had to asking him what he was talking about but what came out of her mouth shocked her herself.


    "Kitten?"


    Yeah, that''s what she asked and not why he wanted to mark his territory when they had less than six


    months before they separate and everyone go their own way. She had thought of moving state when


    they did that or town. Of course, she didn''t want to run into her ex when they''re divorced.


    She didn''t know why but it would hurt her when she got those papers and signed on them. It even hurt


    to think of the damn divorce now. What then. What of that day? When they''ll have theirwyers there to


    negotiate for each one of them. But she needed nothing from him. She would leave him the way she


    found him or more richer than he was.


    Maya had her own money and a career to depend on. And she would be grateful that she won''t go


    back to her father for anything. Not for money and neither for love and affection since she would have


    an idea of how it felt to be loved by people around you and not one person. That was also her other


    reason to move state. To be away from her monster of her father who is a monster to her and a


    blessing to others.


    "Yes, kitten." Chris rubbed his noise over her neck bring Maya back to reality. "It''s my name and I''ll call


    you that from now own. It''s not like I don''t like cupcake anymore. This is my original." She felt his hand


    on her belly move a little high and her hand moved to stop it from moving. Of course he let out a


    sexiestugher she had never heard before. That is if she ever heard himugh. "And you can call


    me," she heard him lean to her ears and whisper, "puppy."


    Maya didn''t know why or how it happened but she moaned out earning her anotherughter from

    Chris. He was enjoying what he was doing to her and she, she didn''t understand why she was reacting


    to him. And just when she thought it was over, he flipped her on back and before she could register


    what was happening, he was on top of her. This time, her top only covered her breast and her breath


    was heavy and so was is.


    She wanted to push him away. She really did but her hands didn''t even attempt to pull her top down.


    It''s like every part of her body had their own mind now. Her legs wanted to wrap around her husband''s


    body, her eyes wanted to watch her crush since highschool all day long long and her hands, they''re the


    worst. She didn''t even want to think of what they wanted.


    "I''ve never seen anything so beautiful like you in the morning." Chris was rubbing her cheeks. "I''m even


    jealous. Jealous of the mattress since you sleep on to of it and not me. Jealous of the duvet for


    covering your whole body every night and not me as I''m doing now. I''m jealous of the pillow for making


    your hair mess every time you sleep on them and not my hands who do much want to do that when we


    make love. I''m jealous of the clothes for hiding that sexy body of your and covering it up when it''s my


    hands, lips and eyes should be doing that, kitten. I''m jealous kitten. Jealous that your friends get to


    make youugh and not me. I''m really really jealous of so many things that I can''t mention them at one


    go. Cause I''m even jealous of the sun and rain for kissing your beautiful skin with rays and drops of


    water when my lips have not done that yet. I need to stop there."


    Now she, was out of breath. And it had her wonder why? Chris was the one supposed to be out for


    breath for speaking to her without him stopping. He was jealous. Jealous because of her. The things


    around her made him jealous. Was that a good thing? Was she also jealous? She had no idea why she


    was happy but she felt like she could face the world head on. Chris was now rubbing her lips which had


    her stare at his hazel eyes. They''re always blue when he was mad but now, now they''re changing from


    blue to brown.


    And then he did what she wasn''t expecting him to do. Lean in. Her breath was caught in her lungs. And


    she needed air more than she ever thought she did before. Chris was about to crash his lips with hers


    when she moved her head to the side and he, he kissed her cheek.


    "Com''no kitten, I know you''re feeling what I''m feeling." He moved a little bit and that''s when she felt


    him. He was too excited for her and that gave her the strength that she needed to push him away. He


    fell on the other side of the bedughing and she wasted no time get of the bed and moving away.


    "Why are you so mean?" He pulled the duvet to cover himself stillughing. "He was just too excited


    and he doesn''t bit, you know."


    Maya brushed and looked at her watch. Thanks to him, the excited him she was on her feet at six.


    "I need to get ready for work." She began to walk towards her suitcase.


    "Please, don''t sway that arse like that." She heard Chris say from her back. "He is already hurt as it is


    and trust me, it''s not easy to calm him down. If you understand what I mean."


    She did. Kyle had told her this things. Of course her innocent ears didn''t want to hear anything but now


    she was thankful to her friend. If not for her, she could have asked him what he meant. After search for


    what she was going to wear, Maya walked into the bathroom without looking at Chris. But she didn''t


    miss the moan he let out before she closed the door behind her and locked it at that matter.


    Of course, this was the first time she locked herself in the bathroom since the other days he was


    always out jogging and she left before he coulde back. As for Sunday''s, she would wake up before


    him and get ready to for service. So, there was no need to lock the damn door. But today, there was a


    need and that''s why she did it.


    Once Maya was done with dressing up, she opened the draw and pulled out ab. The hickey that


    her husband gave her was on the right hence forcing her tob her hair on the right. She just prayed


    to heavens that there would be no emergency today which will force her to hold her hair in ponytail.


    Once done, she unlocked the door and hoped that Chris would be back to sleep but he sat up looking a


    the bathroom door. Their eyes locked and at that time, nothing existence apart from the two of them.


    Maya didn''t know why but her eyes moved from his to his lips which they stayed there for minutes. She


    knew he was watching her when his lips turned onto a smirk. That made her move her eyes from them


    but she went lower than that.


    She watched the way his chest rose and fell telling her that he was breathing heavily. His abs were so


    perfect that she wanted to run her hands on them and then she moved lower than that but to her


    disappointment, he had covered himself with the duvet.


    "You know, you can alwayse back to bed." Of course, he had seen her frown. "This time you can


    see him and feel him at the same time."


    Maya looked away and walked to her collection of handbags. She wore a grey dress along with ck


    t shoes which left her with one choice, a ck purse or handbag. She was red and that''s why she


    walked away without him looking at him again. Once she took her purse, she looked for her car keys


    and her phone from the bag she had the previous day.


    Maya looked at her phone to find five missed calls and one message. Two calls were Kyle and the


    message wanting to know how it went and wishing her a good night. As for the three, they''re from


    Leonel two from the previous night and one two minutes ago. The minutes that she was eating Chris


    with her eyes.


    "I can''t find my phone. I must have misced itst night when I was drunk." She heard her husband


    from behind her and he was close since she felt his heat. "Lent me your phone to call since I left it hear


    before I went to get myself drunk."


    She did. But he had to brush her fingers as she handed him the phone. She felt something strange run


    all down to her toes and if it was Kyle, she would call it, sparks.


    Maya watched Chris type his number on her phone and then watched him wait. His phone rung from


    somewhere around the bed and he walked towards it. She watched him bed on the other side and


    "Thanks."


    "You''re wee." She said returning her phone to the purse. "I''ve to leave now."


    "And here I thought you''re telling I''m wee to the bed." Maya shock her head and turned to walk


    away.


    Just too steps and her back collided with a had chest.


    "No good by kiss?"


    He didn''t wait for her to answer before his lips were on her exposed neck biting and sucking it at one


    go. Of course, she fought to be free but the more she did, the more he held tight.


    "Let go, Chris."


    He did but not before he kissed the hickey he had given her. "It''s puppy not Chris, kitten."


    "You''re mad."


    "Not mad, kitten." She took steps towards the door this time faster. "I''m intoxicated."


    Maya didn''t stop. She closed the door behind her and walked downstairs. She got on her car thing of


    how her husband was acting like a dog on heat. It''s not like she didn''t like it but it felt so wrong. He


    loved someone else not her. He even wanted a divorce to get married to the woman of his dreams,


    then why was he doing that? Why was making her feel something special. Something that she wanted


    tost as long as she leaved? And were the feeling anyway?


    Yes, she had a crush on him since highschool when he had only turned twenty. That was a crush which


    love.


    Wait? Was she in love with Chris? And if yes, for how long now? God, she was acting crazy and


    thinking crazy. She couldn''t be in love with him. This was crazy. She was crazy.


    Maya looked at a review mirror to see her fresh hickey staring back at her. She groaned and moved her


    hair on the other side. She just hoped that no one saw them. After she was done, she inserted her keys


    to start the engine and before she drove of, her phone bibbed notifying her of a new message. She


    pulled it out to read it. It could have bee and emergency or Leonel again.


    But it wasn''t any of those and her eyes almost popped out of their socks. Chris had saved himself


    puppy. Puppy of all the names.


    I''ll be taking you out for dinner with your best friend to make it up to you forst night. I''ll text the


    address to youter. Please wear the dress that you''ll find on top of your suitcase. Sorry I went through


    your bag. If you don''t wear it, I won''t be held responsible for what he''ll do to you. See youter, kitten.
