His Not So Beautiful Wife (Book 1) novel Chapter 5

The party has ended and everyone was exchanging their farewells except for one person.

Elle stood there at her window sill looking down at the leaving guests.

Her fever returned because of fatigue but she didn't tell this to anyone.

Not even him.

She was not that kind of person who will tell you if she is having any problems, she won't pass on her stress to you unless it is very important.

Sighing she turned around to rest for the day when her eyes fell on the mirror.

She was still wearing the gown and now removing it had become a big task.

The safety pins have been too nicely pinned and she was not able to remove them without making the pin poke into her skin.

30 minutes it has been since she returned to her room and still she struggled with the pins.

Her arms were paining working for so long on her back and her neck was already sprained from watching in the mirror.

The staff had left and so have the guests...there was no one she could ask help from.

Getting frustrated with futile attempts she finally laid on the bed with the dress still on.

She tried to sleep but the tightness of the dress restricted her movements.

More minutes passed and at last, she decided to pull up the length of the gown to her thighs.

As cold air fell on her lower body she got some relief from her burning temperature and unknowingly fell into a deep slumber.

................................................

He entered his room while losing his tie and removing his coat.

As soon as he entered the room the sight that welcomed him made him stop in his steps right there.

The hands tugging on the tie stood still and his breathing stopped for a second.

There on the bed, his ugly duckling was sleeping peacefully with her brown  hair sprawled on the pillow.

The dress still on and her long slender legs hugging a pillow.

The dress was up till her waist and her beautiful thighs were on full display.

He had to look away from the sight instantly to stop his body from reacting to such a view.

Moving towards his wardrobe he placed his watch in the drawer of other watches and hanged his coat on the hanger.

His mind and body still tempting him to turn around and admire the girl lying on his bed.

Soon his thoughts were interrupted by a sound that made him finally turn around to find it's the source.

Sound of cute little snores made him move closer to her.

His eyes drifting to her lips which were slightly moving as each breath left them.

Her hands were clapped together and placed under her cheek as she slept like a baby.

Pulling the quilt up till her waist he covered her up but not once did he looked down. 

He was a man of control and no matter what he will not see her without her permission.

He knows that she is his as they were married but still her body first belonged to her and then to him.

He was moving back from her when he saw her pulling down the quilt from herself in half-sleep.

Her snores have stopped and there were creases on her forehead.

He sighed and again pulled up the quilt on her body.

Assured that now she will not remove it he moved towards the washroom to freshen up.

He came out of the bathroom with a towel placed around his neck and his abs on full display.

His eyes fell on the bed to see her brown eyes already staring at him.

Ignoring her gaze he moved towards the wardrobe and pulled out a white shirt over his head.

Opening up his laptop and getting seated on the couch he was thinking of finishing his pending work but he couldn't concentrate as she was taking hidden glances at him.

"Do you need anything?"

He asked still typing and looking at the screen.

"Eh.....ya.....I....just......."

Getting irritated with her mumbling he finally looked at her giving her his full attention.

"This dress....I can't take it off......can .....you....."

She lowered her gaze and her hands clenched the quilt as she thought she had made an embarrassing request.

Without a word he got up and made his way towards her on the bed.

Her heartbeat faster with each heavy step he took and soon his presence behind her made her feel butterflies in her stomach.

"Move your hair aside"

His command made her shaking hands pull on to her hair to bring them in front.

The zip was secured by three pins ..each pin going deeper

Pulling out the first pin his cold fingers slid past her burning skin making goosebumps appear on her arms.

She closed her eyes waiting for this weird feeling in her stomach to end but it was only getting worse.

The last pin was a stubborn one, it was placed from the inside making him move closer to her neck to see the lock.

His breath fell on her neck and she felt like she will piss right on the bed.

It was not fear anymore....it was something else which was doing something inside her stomach which she couldn't understand.

As soon as the pin was removed she didn't wait for a second and ran inside the bathroom banging the door shut in a hurry.

He sat there on the bed confused about his wife's behaviour.

He could feel her shaking with his mere touch and he somehow liked it.

He has met his fair share of women in his life but never had he encountered such a split personality in anyone.

Just a few hours ago her lips were shouting profanities at him and just now they were trembling with just a mere touch by him.

She was weird in a way he couldn't understand and this confused him.

Not to think much about her he made his way back to the couch to continue his work.

After a long 30 minutes, she finally appeared but he refused to get distracted from his work.

Her downcasted eyes shyly managed to look up to see his fingers typing something at a robotic speed.

His face was highlighted by the light of the desktop and she couldn't help thinking how perfect his features were.

How can a man like him not have girls throwing themselves at him?

She could bet he has had countless ex-girlfriends.

She may not be the first one for him but he was her first in every aspect.

Being her husband it meant he was everything.

She still remembers him asking her to go to another man to satisfy her needs as he only wanted obedience from her.

But little does he knows she will die before loving someone else other than him.

She was not that kind of a girl who needs bodies to satisfy her needs...she just wants some care and affection and she would be fine.

Placing the quilt on her she turned her back on him and unknowingly a smile escaped her lips.

His action of saving her from embarrassing her on the dance floor relived in front of her eyes and she fell asleep with a weird sensation rushing through her.

..........................................

His work was voluminous and so was it's burden.

He couldn't sleep before completing it and this made his sleepy eyes red with strain.
