《Purchased Wife》Chapter 32: Numbing The Pain
Advertisement
Liam was laying down on his bed, his mind wouldn't stop working. And it was only her he was thinking about. Only her.
He sighed loudly and got up. Walking, down the stairs, and saw the light above the kitchen island turned on. Emily was sitting on one of the high chairs. He walked to her and he looked at him with a wide smile while she took a sip from the mug in her hand.
He gave her a confused look. He took the mug and smelled it. It was alcohol. He sighed and asked, "What are you doing?"
"You told me to numb the pain."
She took the mug from him"So, I'm numbing the pain."
Before she could take a sip, he took the mug away and said: "You know well that I didn't mean that." She tilted her head, squinting her eyes: "What did you mean, Liam Knight?" He gave her a disappointed look and said"I'll tell you in the morning. When you're sober. Let's go to bed."
He held her forearm but she yanked it back and said through her gritted teeth"You need to stop telling me what to do. Everyone needs to stop telling me what to do. I'm not a child."
"Well, you're acting like one, Emily."
She let out air through her nose and said"Fine after I finish my drink." Liam took the mug he had in his hand and dropped the alcohol in the sink in front of her. He walked back to her and said"Drink finish. Let's go."
"No!"
"What did you say?"
"I said NO!"
"Em.."
"NOOOOOOOOOO. I'm not going to bed."
She got up from her chair and went to the sink. Bent down and took a bottle of half-filled alcohol. She opened the lid and started drinking directly.
He held the bridge of his nose and said: "Don't make me force you." She smiled and challenged him"I'd like to see you try." Her bottom lips between her teeth. Like she was being turned on by something.... or someone.
Whenever he walked to her, she'd run from her spot with the bottle still in her hand. Every time he tried to catch her she let out a scream and a giggle. Running away from his reach.

She was getting on his nerves. He grabbed ahold of the bottle with his one hand. But she pulled it back. He said"GIVE. ME. THE. DAMN.BOTTLE!" and pulled it with a hard force. She let go of the bottle making him fall on the floor. His eyes widened. The bottle broke on the floor. Far away from their reach. She started laughing out loud. Looking at his face. His eyebrows furrowed as he was still lying on the floor and she started laughing louder. He looked at her like she was a crazy person. A smile spread across his face as he heard her laugh for the first time.
Her eyes closed as she held her stomach, laughing nonstop.
He looked at her and said, "That's enough fun for one day." Before he could get up, she straddled him. She sat on his stomach, her legs on his sides.
"Very childish... get off."
She giggled"Nope." popping the P.
"Emily get off."
A hint of playfulness was in her eyes and he loved that.
She said, "Say please first."
"Emily please get off."
"Nope."
He picked up his upper body and she wrapped her arms around his neck. Before she could fall back, he wrapped his arms around her waist. She looked at him with adoration as she said"You're really pretty" He raised his brows at her and asked, "Did you just called me pretty?" She giggled and replied"Yes." She leaned and kissed him on the corner of his lips and said"Really pretty."
She removed a strand of his hair from his forehead. He gazed at her as she said"Your eyes... they're just so perfect. So blue. Reminds me of an ocean under the sunlight."
Truth be told, Liam was enjoying drunk Emily.
She titled her head and strands of hair covered her eyes. She tried to blow them away from her face but was unsuccessful. With his fingers, he lightly pushed her hair behind her ear and she just smiled at him.
She leaned down, leaving a kiss on his neck and wrapping her arms around him. Nuzzling her face in his neck. Resting her temple on his shoulders and whispered"Absolutely gorgeous." He smiled to himself and said"Let's get you to bed. Okay?" She nodded her head in his neck.

He got up from the floor and she wrapped her legs around his waist. His hands-on the back of her thighs to keep her from falling.
He walked upstairs and into her room. He set her on her bed and tucked her in her duvet. He smiled at her and said"Sleep well. Cause you're in trouble tomorrow. She grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him to herself. Kissing him lightly. She let go and said with her eyes closed"Good night."
He left the room without saying or doing anything.
He walked into his bedroom and right in the bathroom. He looked himself in the mirror. The feeling of her kiss still lingering on his lips. He whispered to himself"She's messing with my head."
He took off his clothes and hopped in the cold shower. Calming his heated body from her kiss.
He put on black sweatpants and made his way out to his room, went into his closet to get himself a shirt.
When he turned around, she was sitting on his bed.
Her clothes changed. She was wearing his zip-up hoodie. Her smooth scarred tan legs crossed on the other. He asked"What're you doing here? Is that my hoodie?" She smiled and nodded her head. He pointed to the door: "Emily, please go sleep in your room." She got up and walked to him slowly.
A smile on her face as she held the zipper of his hoodie and slowly slide it down till the end. Taking the hoody off her shoulders as she wore black lingerie. She walked closer to him and stopped till her chest touched his. His eyes on her face. Not moving down as he said a low voice"Emily you're drunk." She said in a soft voice" I know."
"Why're you doing this?"
She shrugged and said, "Well that kiss made me want more."
She trailed her fingers, a fine line from his chest to his torso.
With only a finger of her each hand, she trailed her nails on his V-line and he shivered under her touch. Not once his eyes traveled to her body. She cupped his face with her hands. His expression still blank and she said"Take me, Liam. Right here. Right now."
He looked at her arms and her marks weren't covered. He looked down at her body and her scars were exposed. Which she never liked. With her fingers under his chin, she guided him to look at her. Without breaking eye contact, he bent down, sliding his hand on the back of her thigh and picked her up.
He lied her on his bed, his waist between her legs.
She heard the sound of the zipper and realized that he had zipped up her hoodie and said"Sleep, Emily."
It wasn't easy for him to fight the temptation but he did.
He moved and lied down next to her, shirtless.
She trailed a pattern on his chest with her fingers and said: "We could be doing so many things now." He removed her hand and lied her back on the other pillow, covering her naked legs with his duvet and said"Goodnight, Emily." She smiled at him and closed her eyes.
He lied back on his side. His left hand under his head and his right hand rested on his chest. He looked to his left and saw her sleeping. He closed his eyes too.
And then felt the warmth against his body. He opened his eyes and saw her head lying on his chest as she wrapped her arm around his torso.
He let out a sigh in annoyance and closed his eyes again. He heard her say"Not comfortable." She straddled him but before he could say anything, she covered herself and him with a duvet while being on him. Her legs resting on each side.
She lied on his chest, her hands behind his shoulders as she nuzzled her face in his neck. Kissing him below his jawline.
She looked at him because she didn't felt his arms around her. He looked at her in confusion. Kissing on his cheek, she wrapped his arms around her waist by herself, and then went back to lying on her previous position.
Not even a second passed when she was finally asleep. Her left hand on his chest. He held her hand and turned it around. He saw something peeking out from her sleeve. He pushed the sleeve to her forearm. He saw two cuts.
She nuzzled in his neck more and he wrapped his arms around her tightly.
