I couldn’t stop the smile that formed on my lips. “You are so beautiful”, I whispered. A deep blush formed on her cheeks and she turned her head into the pillow, trying to hide her face from me. I chuckled as I tightened my hold on her, snuggling up to her back.
“We have a big day ahead of us, precious. When do you have class again?”, I asked softly. “Tomorrow. I have class on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.”, she answered. “What time?”, I inquired as I took another deep breath of her scent. “From 9am-12pm”, her voice was as smooth as silk when she spoke.
Mara sat up and looked around the room. “Where’s the bathroom?”, she asked in a small voice. I grinned and pointed at the door closer to her side of the bed. As she stood, she realized she was only wearing my shirt. She gasped and quickly turned to face me. Her hands gripped the hem of the shirt and pulled it farther down her thighs.
“Uh, Did you change me?”, her voice was a notch higher than normal. I smirked and arched an eyebrow, as I sat up and lazily leaned on my hand. The blanket slid down my body, exposing my bare chest to her.
Mara gulped and took a small step back as her eyes raked over my chest. “I did”, I answered simply. Her eyes snapped up to mine, making my smirk deepen. “We should set some boundaries until we are actually married”, she choked out.
I smiled as I climbed out of bed and took a step towards her. “And what might those be?”, I asked, taking another step towards her. Mara took another step back, “Uh, well not seeing me naked would be one”, she stuttered lightly.
“You weren’t naked”, I said. As I took another step towards her and her a step back. “You were still in your undergarments”, I clarified, taking a larger step towards her. “Close enough”, she snapped, taking another step back.
“Is it?”, I asked with a smirk and head tilt, as I closed the distance between us. Marabella’s back hit the wall. “Yes”, she whispered. I braced my hands on either side of her head, against the wall, caging her in my arms. “I don’t know if it is”, I uttered, as I brought my face closer to hers.
Mara’s hand reached out and touched my chest to stop me from coming any closer. When our skin made contact, a shiver passed through us both. She closed her eyes and let out a shaky breath. I wanted to know what she would do if I got closer, so I did. I stepped closer, bringing my hips flush to hers. She didn’t do anything other than open her eyes.
The innocence in her blue eyes was clear as day. She likes this, a lot, but it’s also scarring the shit out of her. I brought my hand down and gently cupped her jaw.
“I only put my shirt on you. Nothing else. You have my word. And even after we marry today, I will respect your boundaries until you’re comfortable enough around me”, I explained softly.
Her lips parted and her breath hitched, immediately drawing my attention to her lips. “I want to kiss you, Marabella. Tell me not to if it’s not want you want”, I whispered, as I brushed my lips against hers. She didn’t object, so I closed the distance, connecting our lips in a slow passionate kiss.
The hand she used to hold the hem of the shirt with came up to rest on my bicep. My other hand left the wall and wrapped around her waist, pulling her chest flush to mine. My tongue swiped across her bottom lip, begging for entry. Just as she opened her mouth and brushed her tongue against mine, a knock on the door interrupted us.
I groaned as Mara pushed me away. “Where’s my clothes?”, she asked frantically. I chuckled and cupped her cheeks with my hands, “Relax, sweetheart. Your clothes are in the closet, there’s a door in the bathroom that connects to the closet. Go get dressed, love”, I uttered, placing a soft kiss to her lips.
I walked to the bedroom door and waited until I heard the click of the bathroom door before I opened the bedroom door. Sergio stood on the other side, with a concerned look. “What’s wrong? It’d better be good”, I said, irritated. Sergio’s face contorted into a grin. “We were worried about you. You never sleep this late”, he mentioned. “Well, I’ve never had sleep that good either. We are fine and will be out soon”, I said, as I closed the door in his face.
I walked to the closet and noticed her bag had been opened. Good, she’s already got her clothes. I quickly slipped into a pair of blue jeans and a black shirt. Mara was sitting on the edge of our bed when I walked out of the closet. She held my shirt in her hand. When her eyes met mine she blushed, ” I didn’t know what to do with it”, she mumbled, as she stood and held my shirt out towards me.
I chuckled as I took it from her and tossed it on the bed. “You honestly could’ve left it on the bathroom floor. I wouldn’t have complained.”, I joked. She shook her head frantically, “I can’t do that”, she whispered. I chuckled once again, “Okay. There’s a basket in the closet for future reference, then”, I explained, as I took a step towards her.
“Are you ready to meet my family?”, I asked, tucking her bangs behind her ear. Her long dark curls were French braided down her back. She was wearing a pair of blue jeans with a simple white tshirt and converse. Her outfit was simple yet brought out her natural beauty.
