Agent X

At the Chief's House

*GIULIANA’S POV*

It’s been an hour and a half since we left the PBI main office without talking to each other, and now, Zac parked his car in his garage.

Once he had turned off his car’s engine, he removed his seat belt and stepped out of his car, and I watched him as he walked towards the passenger seat and opened the door, but he did not bother looking at me or waiting for me to step out too, he simply left the door open and went to the front door.

“What a gentleman,” I sarcastically said while still looking at his back. I removed my seat belt and stepped out of the car, then, closed the door.

I stepped behind him and waited till he had the door unlocked and open. And once he did, he went inside.

“Aren’t you going to carry me to our bedroom?” I asked, still standing at the door.

“You have your feet so walk on your own,” he replied which made me pout.

“How sweet of a husband you are,” I whispered and was about to enter his house when I felt someone staring at me from afar, so my eyes quickly scanned the area and checked if someone is following me.

Then, I saw my brother standing outside the gate and glaring at me. I looked at him and he motioned for me to get out, so I looked at Zac who’s walking straight to another room, probably the kitchen.

I turned around and quietly went to the gate, then I stepped out and walked towards a wooden bench, just a few steps from Zac’s place, and as I get there closer, I can see my brother, Gabriel, sitting on the bench with a stick of cigarette on his lips.

I sat beside him and he offered me smoke to whom I gladly took, then I borrowed his lighter. I puffed a cloud of smoke and waited for him to talk.

“What are you doing here, Giul?” he started, so I exhaled the cigarette’s smoke, as I watched the trees move as the wind blows.

“I’m going to live here from now on,” I answered.

“With that d*mned PBI Chief? Why? You know that he is our mortal enemy and he wants to capture you more than anyone. Do you plan to kill him tonight? I can help you with that,” Gabriel questioned and looked in the direction of Zac’s house then he looked at me again.

“No, you can’t do that, because he is my husband,” I shortly replied.

“What!? Since when did that happen?” he asked again so I looked at him and saw his forehead furrowing as he glared at me.

“Just two hours ago,” I answered and I saw him pinch the bridge of his nose.

“Why would you marry that man, Giul!? He’s our enemy!” he said.

“Exactly Gab. I don’t want to obey that old man and attend that arranged marriage. Also, I know that this action means betrayal to the agency, especially to Dad, but this is the only choice I have so that father can no longer have a grip on my life,” I replied and he just stared at me and sighed. Then, we both became quiet for two minutes or so.

“You will be hunted for this,” I heard him whispered as he looked down on his lap and I smiled at him.

“I know that, but I can handle myself, besides, as long as the PBI Chief is around, they will not be able to do anything to me, except for long-range attacks,” I said to him and he just looked at me with worry, which kind of surprised me since he never showed me that expression before.

“Don’t worry, little brother, I’m safe here,” I assured him and he just sighed.

“However, I think it would be best for you to just stay with Treyvon for now. Since I will not be around and with this decision of mine, there is a probability that your life might get in danger as well, and I do not want that to happen but I had no other choice. I’m sorry Gab,” I apologized to him but he just shook his head.

“Nah, don’t be, I understand why you did this, it’s your way to save your life from this bloody f*cked up life,” he replied with a smile so I nodded my head in agreement and smiled back at him, then, I quickly hugged him tightly.

“Thank you, Gabriel,” I thanked him as I felt him pat my back, then he gently pushed me away and looked at my eyes.

“Does he know that you’re Agent X?” he asked again and I nodded at him. He took a deep breath and looked at me and grab my shoulders firmly.

“I can’t ensure your safety Giul. I don’t know who will they send to kill you, they might even send me, so please, promise me that whatever happens, you will take care of yourself and live,” he stated as he looked straight at my eyes.

“Why are you being so dramatic Gab?” I asked him with a smirk, and he just glared at me.

“Tsk!” he hissed and let go of my shoulders which made me laugh.

“Hahaha you really shouldn’t worry about me, you know,” I said to him again and he just glared at me again, then he looked in the direction of Zac’s house, so I turned to look there too, and I saw Zac standing at the gate while crossing his arms on his chest.

“You should go back in, he might suspect you of cheating,” Gabriel said which made me smirked at him.

“Why would I cheat if I already have a hot hunk husband?” I asked him and he just shook his head in disbelief.

“Good luck to him,” I heard him whispered.

“Would you like to meet your brother-in-law?” I asked him but he just shook his head before he stood up and started walking away, while his hands are inside his pockets, towards his motorcycle that is parked just a few feet away from the bench.

I smiled as I watched him walked away. Then, I turned to look at Zac and saw him staring at me and I know he has a lot of questions in mind now so I threw away my cigarette and stepped on it before I walked back to my husband’s house.

As soon as I am standing in front of Zac, I looked up to him and sweetly smiled at him.

“Tch! Who was that? Your accomplice?” he asked as he stared at Gab who just passed by us while riding his motorcycle.

“Nope, that was my brother,” I answered him and tread my way in.

“You have a brother?” Zac asked and I just nodded at him as an answer.

“Is he an agent too?” he questioned again so I turned to face him and raised my right eyebrow at him.

“There’s no need for me to share information about my brother, Chief Zac,” I simply replied to him, and turned my back on him, then I started walking towards his bedroom.

Good thing I still remember the way in. I thought to myself as I found myself walking towards the master’s bedroom, which is also his bedroom.

“What the hell?” I heard him utter but I did not bother looking at him anymore.

I will not say anything about Gab or Trey, not even about Aileen’s involvement with the agency.  I do not want them to get in trouble once the agency has been defeated. I will take care of everything. I thought to myself.

As I stepped inside his room, I suddenly remembered the first night that I slept here, which made my cheeks blush, but then, as if a light bulb turned on inside my head as I have thought of an idea.

I looked behind me, but Zac is no longer following me, so I quickly ran towards his closet and grab one of his T-shirts and a clean boxer, since I do not have any clothes or undergarments with me tonight.

After that, I entered the bathroom with a bath towel in my hand and the clothes that I will be borrowing on the other hand. I quickly took a shower and wear his clothes. Then I did not bother combing my hair anymore, instead, I used my fingers to make my hair look fuller and a bit messy but sexy. When I was done fixing my appearance, I went out of Zac’s room and looked for him, then I noticed him sitting on the couch in the living room while watching television, so I bit my lower lip and sneak my way towards his kitchen and prepared a dinner for the both of us.

After cooking our meal, I prepared the utensils and plates, then I went towards the living room, and sat beside him.

“What the~? That’s my shirt,” he commented as soon as he saw me, and I nodded my head at him.

“I’ll just borrow this for tonight since I don’t have any clothes with me,” I said to him as I looked at his expression.

“Shall we have our dinner?” I invited him with a smile on my face.

“I’ll just order a pizza or something,” he replied and was about to grab the telephone on the round coffee table beside the couch.

“There’s no need to buy outside, I already cooked our food,” I said to him and he just looked at me as if I will poison him, well, I did plan to do that two years ago since he started investigating about me, but I am still enjoying him as my toy so I will postpone my mission for now, and just enjoy myself.

“Come on,” I said and pulled him towards the dining area. His forehead is creasing but he never said anything or stopped me from pulling him until we reached the dining table.

“Here you go,” I uttered and serve him some rice before serving myself, like what a wife should do to her husband.

After I served him the food I cooked, he just stared at me, and I know what that look means, so I grab a spoonful of the viand and ate it, showing him that the food is safe. As he saw me taking the food without any problem, he began eating.

It did not take long for the two of us to finish our meal so I quickly washed the dishes as he just observed my actions as he stood a few feet behind me. I can feel his stares as I wipe my hands from the hand towel.

“Staring is rude, you know, Zac,” I said to him as I turned around and faced him. I saw his surprised expression and he was stuttering as he started speaking but I did not let him finish, as I giggled at his reaction.

This is not the PBI Chief that I have heard of. Everyone says that he’s a strict and stern person, well, that is true, but only when he’s at work, I guess. I thought as I looked at him. I grinned at him and walked past him.

“I’ll go to bed now,” I said to him as I sway my hips while walking.

I felt him following behind me but I acted like I did not notice at all, so when I stepped inside the bedroom, I quickly grabbed his moisturizing lotion and placed my left leg on top of the bed. And since I am wearing his shirt that reaches only to my mid-thigh and his smallest boxer available, my legs are clearly exposed in his sight.

I applied the lotion as he just stands in the middle of his room and looking at me. I turned to face him and smiled at him.

“I hope you don’t mind,” I said to him as I waved the body lotion in my hand. He’s just staring at me without saying anything so I placed the lotion on top of his bed and walked towards him.

“Are you alright, hubby?” I asked with an innocent voice but he just closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose.

“Hubby?” I called him again, but I did not expect him to pull my hand and pinned me on the wall. My head is in between his hands as his body is too close to mine, he’s also leaning his face forward close to mine as I looked up to him.

“Are you trying to seduce me?” he asked in a low and very sexy tone of voice, while his eyes are just looking at my lips, and a playful smile formed.

“Are my actions affecting you? Hubby?” I asked as I placed my hands on his broad chest. I can feel his heartbeat and his heavy breathing as he stood in front of me.

“Don’t…tempt me…Giuliana,” he said.

God! I love how my name sounds as he speaks it out loud. I thought as I stared at his lips.

“Why? Are you going to punish me if I do seduce you?” I questioned again as my right hand traveled from his chest to the side of his lips.

“D*mn it,” he uttered and in just a blink of an eye, his lips captured mine.
