Chapter Three

LEO 

Is it me or the man before me has grown more attractive in the past two weeks? His very tall and masculine build is looking even more captivating than before and is his gray orbs are shining more brightly than last time? His silver hair is looking more smooth and silky too. 

I put down my book and get on my hills. I should at least properly greet my husband. I know my earlier reaction after seeing him is something too blunt and cold hearted but I have nothing to do with that. How do you expect me to greet a person when I barely know him? When I haven't even spoken to him from the moment I married him? 

I know it's a little cold-hearted of me but I can't help it. I didn't marry him to develop any kind of emotional feelings. All I want from him is a child and a marriage that he will never cut ties with, that's all and what he all wants from me is money and luxury. So, I hope that he will not develop any feelings for me either. If he does then I can't guarantee if I can keep his heart. 

I approach him and he slightly tilts his head and narrows his eyes to meet mine. Well this man is making me insecure of my 5.8 height that it itself is very high for an omega. I think this man is around 6.3 or so.

What does he even eat to grow this big!

"I thought you wouldn't be home tonight too." He says slowly. 

"Did you drink?" I ignore his question as I wrinkle my nose. 

"O-oh." He turns around embarrassedly and brings his hand to his mouth to breath in it to check if he stinks of alcohol.

He is rather cute.

"I am sorry, I got carried away." He tries to explain himself as he scratches the back of his head and looks everywhere but my eyes. 

I wonder what he is thinking. Does he think that I will mind if he drinks? Does he think that my reaction will be like those housewives who will bicker with their husband for coming home drunk? If he expects this then I am sorry, I can't meet your expectations. And other than that I am not even a housewife, I am a husband who runs a million-dollar company single handedly.

"I don't mind. I just don't like the smell of alcohol." I say simply. I expected that I would find a little disappointment in his eyes but there's nothing. 

He doesn't show any emotion on my indirect declaration of "Don't expect me to do anything that a partner does.". I am a little astonished at his lack of reaction. 

"Okay then I will try to drink less." He says timidly. 

Translation: I can't give up on anything because of you. 

Well, I think, I just started to like this man.

"You don't have to. Just stay sane when you talk to me." I say with a little laugh on my throat. 

I think my reaction amuses him too. 

Guess, our marriage life will not be that bad.

"I will take a quick bath, first." He says.

Translation: Let me come back to my senses.

"Oh when we're at it, I didn't find any of your belongings in my room." I try to lead the conversation in another way, "Why is that?"

"You never said anything about moving in with you in your room." He says, twitching his eyebrows at my question.

"We're partners, Erwin. It's only normal for us to stay together in one room. And," I pause to gather up my courage to say my next words, "I want a child as soon as possible so, the earlier we get accustomed to each other the better."

I think my statement puts Erwin in an uncomfortable position too, so I just change the subject, again.

"Did you have dinner yet?" I quickly ask as if someone hears me saying this I will die of embarrassment. I will really. Because he is the second person I am asking this question to.

He beams with a smile, "No."

He is lying.

I can tell when people are lying to me. It pisses me off when someone lies to me but for some reason, I don't hate it when he lies to me, or rather it's making me happy. I wonder if this man before me has any idea what he is doing to me.

"I will wait for you in the dining area." I incline my head, pointing at the dining area, battling to the death with myself to keep my emotions in control.

"Alright." He nods a little then stalks off.

***

"I had people to move your things into my room from the guestroom." I say as I pour soup at his bowl.

He takes a seat across me in, "Are you sure about it?" He asks as he looks at me with a unsure expression on his face.

"About what, exactly?" I cock my brow and ask him.

"Well…" He too can't find right words to form the right address for it.

"I know you still having some difficulties to accept our marriage but you have to cope with it, Erwin." I stir my soup with my spoon. "What will make you accept the fact that you are bound with me for the rest of your life?"

This question seems to have make Erwin think about our relation more deeply. After a brief silence he finally says, "I will tell you later what I have decided. I think it will help you too." His statement is quite blunt but I can't see the mischief behind them.

But I don't mind them and keep nibbling on my food, occasionally looking at the fine man siting before me.

After we are done with our dinner, I order my maids to clean up the table and take Erwin to my room.

"Woah~ It's so big!" Erwin's eyes glittering as he compliments my room.

Well, if I have to compliment my room in one word, I would say, "library". Because the wall is covered with large book selves and various books. There are some pictures in there too. A big king size bed where I rarely sleep anymore and a small study table. There is a body length mirror too.

I wouldn't actually say that it is very beautiful but it is nice because it smells like me. It's not that am very willing to share my personal space with a man whom I barely know, but if I wish to live a good life than this is the right thing to do.

I never expect him to love me but at least we can be friends right?

Suddenly Erwin grabs me by my waist and pulls me closer to him. I let out a small gasp at the swiftness and the strength of his movements.

"W-what are you doing?!" I try to remain s calm as I can be in this situation but there is no need for anyone to tell me how hard my face is flashing because I can already feel it. My heart is thumping at my ears and my blood is roaring in its veins as Erwin tilts his and come even closer to me. His warm breath brushing over my face like a soft feather.

"Didn't you ask me what will make me accept our relationship?" He asks softly, making my heart flip and flop in its rib cage.

I don't answer.

He continues, "Maybe, this will make me accept that I have the prettiest husband in the whole continent." He smirks and kisses me.

My eyes widen in the impact. Erwin lets out a soft chuckle as he sees my reaction but doesn't break the kiss.

He deepens the kiss. I try to push him away with all my might but he doesn't even budge. But I suddenly clutch his t-shirt and puller as he gently but dominantly pushes my lips apart and shoves his tongue inside my mouth. He starts to release his pheromones too. They are so fucking nice!

Is this man planning to drive me insane?

But I won't fall behind to! So, I start to match his tongue's movement and release my pheromones. This seem to have startles Erwin because pauses and looks at me amusingly. Meanwhile I close my eyes and solely focus on our tongue battle and grab at him more intensely. 

His grip around my waist to tightens and he pulls me even closer to him. I was stand on my tip toe to is him but his pull lifts me from the ground and crushes my body with him. Now, I doubt even if the air can pass through our mingled bodies.

"Ah!" I moan softly as he nuzzles on my lower lip.

He pulls away, as we both run out of breath. We grasp aggressively but we don't take our eyes of each other.

"Do you still want to continue?" He asks yet he doesn't show any intention to release me from his grip and nor do I want to be freed.

"I dare you to stop right now." I threaten in a raspy voice.

He smirks, ""You are gonna regret it later." He warns playfully.

And as if I have the time or the will to think about it right now. I am not a maoist.

"Just fuck me already." I spit. 

His devilish smirk dazzles with mischief and he suddenly releases me from his strong grip.

"Strip for me, Leo." He commands.

The air is now filled with my and his pheromones which is making me losing my mind and my composure at a horrifying speed that I could have never imagine. But now for some reason I am not paying any heed to my appearance or my demeanor. All I know right now is that, I want this man. Right now. These gray orbs re making me go crazy. These swollen red lips of his are making my knees go weak. I want them all over me. So, without thinking twice I start to strip out of my clothes.
