"How did it go?", I questioned Isaac as he entered the house while I was fetching myself a glass of water.

"It was good", he replied coming near me.

I was so esctatic when Isaac and Nyle finally talked to each other sorted out their problems and they both went out for drinks tonight making me more happy.

As I kept the glass down on the kitchen top he said,"But...you are going to pay for what you did. You literally locked us in a room!"

"That was the only way I could make both of you talk without running away", I grinned making him scowl.

As I was feeling sleepy, I made my way towards my bedroom with him trailing behind me but as I was about to open the door, he said, "Where are you going?"

"Umm...to sleep, I guess."

"You are not sleeping in that room now; come sleep in our bedroom."

Did he just say 'our bedroom'?

"You sure?", I asked the most dumb question.

"Why won't I?"

"O-kay...I will just change and come."

He nodded before going inside his room or I should say our room.

I quickly changed into pyjamas and a t-shirt before going inside his room.

When I entered our room, he was standing near the glass windows, staring outside.

Hearing the door closed he turned his head towards me and said, "Your closet will be shifted in this room tomorrow; whether you like it nor not."

Was he really trying to make this marriage work and be like real couples?

"Am I complaining?"

"You shouldn't", he said before going inside the bathroom while I made myself comfortable on the bed and laid down.

He emerged from the bathroom a minute later in just his boxers making me blush really hard as I averted my eyes from him before he could see me checking him out.

The bed dipped beside me as he laid down switching off the lights and only the moonlight coming from the window illuminated the room.

I felt him shift closer and his hand wrapped around my waist bringing me closer to him.

As I got closer to him, I placed my head on his bare chest while his hand was wrapped around my waist.

I felt complete.

We both were wide awake as Isaac rubbed small circles on my waist and only the sound of our soft breathing could be heard.

As my ear was pressed to his chest, I could hear his heartbeat and his heart was beating quite fast.

Placing my palm on the centre of his chest, I asked, "Why is your heart beating so fast?"

He stopped rubbing circles on my waist and bought his hand up and started stroking my hair gently.

"It's nothing", he said.

I sighed, "You don't tell me anything, Isaac."

"I have told you a lot about me already."

"I hardly know you...", I whispered.

"Do you want me to recite my biography?"

I smiled against his chest, "I would love to hear that."

I thought he was joking but he actually started speaking, "My name is Isaac Grayson, the CEO of the...I mean the joint CEO of the Mallay Grayson Industries. I was born on 3rd November, 1991 to Liam and Nancy Grayson and I am the only child of my parents. I love Italian food and my favourite colour is turquoise blue."

I thought he was done but then he said again after a pause, "At the age of eighteen, an incident broke me up and for many years I didn't realise what a mess I was until I met a feisty little thing a.k.a my wife who started to pull me out of the mess I created for myself. She is too good for me...keeps asking me whether I ate or not, scolds me for smoking, tends to my wounds, helps me mend my friendship..."

He was not drunk. He was sober yet what he was saying was...hard to believe.

I lifted my head and with my palm still on his chest, I stared at him while he was staring at the ceiling.

He continued, "She is feisty and her feistiness messes with my mind, she is crazy and drives me crazy too, but...she keeps me sane. She provided me the comfort I have been looking for so many years. Told me that I am missing all the precious moments of my life...little does she know that she is the only precious thing I don't wanna lose. I keep hurting her yet she stays with me, I keep pushing her away yet she keeps pulling me back. I don't want to lose her ever because...with her I will lose myself too."

Who are you and what have you done to my husband?

This is not the man I married...

No one ever said such things to me, no one ever told me that I keep them sane, no one ever told me that I am precious to them. No one ever told me that they don't wanna lose me at any cost.

But this man...

I slowly climbed on top of him, coming face to face with him staring into each other's eyes. I couldn't see his face properly but his eyes shone and a tear rolled down my face and fell on his cheeks. He wiped away my tear with his thumb and cupped my cheeks, caressed it with his thumb.

"Isaac", I whispered so softly that even I was not able to hear it.

"Thank you", he whispered back.

"For what?"

"For everything."

"I didn't even do anything", I whispered to which he replied, "You have no idea, Larisa."

Closing my eyes, I rested my forehead on his while he closed his eyes too.

At that moment I felt so lucky to have him as my husband, sure there were moments where I wanted to run away from him but at this moment, everything seems worth all the pain.

Without thinking twice, I captured his lips and he responded back immediately, wrapping his arms around my waist preventing me from falling.

With my hands pressed on his shoulder, he parted his mouth and I entered my tongue; this time he let me take control as I roamed my tongue inside his mouth. The kiss started out to be soft and slow but with every passing second the urgency started to kick in as our tongue danced together.

My hands that were on his shoulder moved down and I trailed my finger very slowly over his abs earning a growl from him.

He grabbed my hand whispering against my lips, "You better stop or else I will lose control."

"I don't want to", I whispered back this time kissing him a bit hardly and within a second he flipped me over as I laid underneath him, with his eyes turning darker.

He started trailing kisses on my jaw and then down to my neck and I bit my lips to stop the moan that was threatening to escape my mouth. He sucked on a sweet spot on the base of my neck and I couldn't stop the moan that left my mouth.

"Tell me to stop", he spoke hoarsely moving his lips on mine.

"No."

He kissed me on my lips roughly, his hands roaming my body and then he parted away and said, "You have no idea what you are saying."

"I want you, Isaac", I said breathlessly.

Biting my earlobe, he whispered huskily, "I want you too, Larisa."

I didn't have any second thoughts before he took me to a whole new level of ecstasy as we consummated our marriage and he cherished my body in ways I could never imagine.

Every muscles of my body pained as I slowly opened my eyes to find Isaac already awake as he traced my face with his finger like did last time.

Seeing me waking up, he buried his head in the crook of my neck and started placing small kisses there.

"How are you feeling?", he whispered against my neck.

"Sore."

"Sorry", he whispered softly.

A blush crept up my neck, "It's...okay...I don't mind it."

He smirked against my neck, "Of course you don't mind it."

And I turned red.

"Oh shit!", I exclaimed suddenly, "We will get late for office!"

He chuckled softly, "It's Sunday."

"Oh..."

He chuckled again, lifting his head from my neck and then placed a kiss on the tip of my nose and got up and walked inside the bathroom.

_________________________________________

Humming the song, 'I won't say I'm in love', I revolved my rotating chair feeling quite happy today; the reason? I also don't know.

My mind was occupied with the thoughts of Isaac, I am not able to get him out of my mind. What he said to me that night was still there, I still remember each and every word he said and I can't help but blush thinking about all that happened that night.

Lost in my thoughts I didn't even realise that it was lunch time already until Josh and Nyle walked into my office.

"Someone is looking quite happy today", Josh remarked giving Nyle a mischievous look.

Not again.

"Mind telling us the reason for that glow on your face?", Nyle asked and that made me blush really hard.

"You are blushing already, what did we miss?", Nyle said.

"You didn't miss anything, idiots", I said.

"Something definitely happened between you two", Nyle came over to me and placed his hand over my shoulder.

Josh came closer too and placed his hand over my other shoulder and they both were looking at me so curiously that I turned red.

"You better tell us or else we will start assuming things on our own", Josh said.

"Why don't you guys go and trouble Isaac like you trouble me; I am sure he will tell you", I said.

"What's the fun in asking Isaac?", Nyle said.

Knowing that they won't leave me unless I tell them, I finally said or you can say whispered, "We consummated our marriage."

"What?!", They both exclaimed so loudly that I am sure Isaac must have heard it.

"Go on shout it on a loudspeaker, you idiots", I whispered shouted.

"We want the details!", Nyle said.

"In your dreams!"

"But what led you both to that?", Josh asked.

"I am not telling you all anything! I am going for lunch. Go ask Isaac for the details, I am sure he will tell you everything", I spoke sarcastically.

"What details?", I heard Isaac speak all of a sudden.

Can I get more embarrassed?!

Nyle and Josh gave me a mischievous look and glanced at me and then at Isaac.

"We are...going out for lunch, wanna come?", I asked Isaac, changing the topic.

"I am coming in a minute", he said disappearing back into his office and I sighed.

I gave both of them a glare and pushed them away.

I took out my car keys and threw it to Josh who catched it and said, "Go and take out my car, we are coming."

Giving me one last look, they both finally left.

I went into Isaac's office as he was wearing his blazer and then turned towards me.

"Let's go", he said wrapping his arm securely around my shoulder.

"What were you guys talking about?", He asked as we entered into the elevator.

"They are crazy! Forget it."

Remembering my conversation with them, I yet again blushed and Isaac seemed to notice my blush as he said, "I guess I know what you guys were talking about."

I groaned hiding my face in the side of his chest making him laugh and my heart swelled with love on hearing him laugh.

Did I say love?

Oh God...
