Bound to him since birth

8. Photo Session

Sofie's POV-                                                                             

"SPLASH!"

"GASP!" I get up with a jolt and try to inhale as much oxygen because of this sudden interruption. I bring both of my hands on my face and drag them, wiping off the water that was just poured upon me. After getting comfortable with the sunlight peeping through the window, I open my eyes and notice my husband standing beside my side of the bed with a glass jug in his hand and he is glaring at me. He was still in the same clothes as yesterday. I remember yesterday how he was looking like a kid seeking warmth but right now, he is looking like a beast ready to pounce on its prey. But still, he is looking so damn sexy! His hair is dishevelled and those grey orbs are as hard as stones, his whole demeanour is as solid as an unmovable rock except for his chest that is rising up and down.

"HOW DARE YOU TO SLEEP BESIDE ME ON THE SAME BED?! THIS IS MY BED, MY ROOM AND YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE ANYTHING THAT IS MINE!!" He shouts at me. 

What the hell?! He is the one who was miserable last night! Not me! He kept me encased in his warm embrace and refused to let go! Not me!

"Yesterday you..." He cuts me off, "I DON'T WANT ANY EXPLANATION! JUST KNOW THAT THIS IS MY ROOM AND YOU ARE NOT TO TOUCH ANYTHING HERE!" He again roars.

What the actual f**k? Is this what I'm going to wake up every morning for?

"What do you mean you don't want to listen? Huh? You HAVE to listen to what I've to say to you and if you can't then don't expect me to listen to your s**t too!" I yell at him. If this man thinks that he can control me as he wants, then he has another thing coming! I was sleeping so peacefully, but no… he HAD to do something to spoil my mood!

Though I just yelled at him, I guess I'm regretting it, no I'm not! I am not a coward, um... I guess I AM regretting, but... just a little bit.

His hard gaze makes me stay put in my place on the bed before it moves down to my chest area. I follow his action and my eyes go wide. As I said, I shouldn't have let mom shop for me, because this is a very revealing nightdress with a very deep and low neck and spaghetti straps which of one strap has slid down my shoulder. I lift my gaze to gaze at him, and his eyes still haven't left my almost revealed breasts because I don't wear bras at night, I mean who does? I quickly pull the sheets to cover myself up to my neck and tighten my grip on the duvet around my shoulders. 

"It was you who held me last night, not me," I say.

"It might have happened by mistake. And it won't happen ever again... even if I'm drunk." He says and enters his closet. 

Whatever... I'm not here dying to be in your embrace too! 

“Aahan?” My subconscious says, mocking me.

“Oh just shut up!” I scream frustratingly and get out of bed.

After Christian was done showering and got ready looking no less than a Greek God, I went and did all the necessary things. I have just now finished dressing up. I have put on an elegant dress as it's my first day here as Christian's wife and it feels like it is like my reintroduction, so I'm hell nervous to face a family who has accepted me long back. And it's already 11:30, I slept a little longer but, okay.

I descend down the stairs and enter the living room, filled with chatter and laughter. 

"Sofie!" Brian exclaims as soon as I enter the living room. 

"Hi!" I grin walking towards where all of them are seated on the couch, even Christian. But there is one other man too with little specks of white in his beard and hairs. He is an old yet handsome man of his age. 

"Good morning mom. Good morning dad." I greet them and the other man too with a slight nod. They return my greetings and mom makes me sit beside her and tells me that the person is a renowned photographer and that he has come for a family photoshoot. She is so excited and she wants every special occasion to be captured and as it's my first day here, she has called Mr Hall, the photographer.

"We are just waiting for Marc now, once he comes, and then we can have our photos clicked," Mom says excitedly and my heart warms at her words. I'm so lucky to have been blessed with in-laws like them. They didn't forget my dad and wants to include him too. I look at her with warm eyes and a soft smile on my lips before she speaks up, "Before being your father, he is my best friend and we are a family before you all were even born." She says gesturing towards me, Brian and Christian. 

Dad comes after a few minutes and we all move outside in the garden where Mr Hall's team is already there.

The photo session begins and I get my photos clicked with both of my Dads and mom individually and together too. A photo with all of us in the same picture is taken too and I and Brian get many photos clicked making some really stupid gestures. 

"Now, just the husband and wife." Mr Hall says and my eyes drift towards Christian's. He comes forward and Mr Hall starts guiding us for the poses.

"Okay, for the first pose, Christian will keep his face in Sofie's crook with his hand wrapped around her." Mr Hall says. Our family members are now sitting under the shed in one corner, witnessing everything. I look at Christian and honestly, I somewhere expect him to yell at the photographer saying he won't ever do that, but he takes his steps forward and wraps his arms around me. My breath hitch in my throat when Mr Hall again speaks up, "Sofie, keep your hands on his chest and while his head will be hidden, you have to smile looking at the ground.” 

Oh C'mon, What is so interesting in looking at the ground? But nonetheless, we have to do it.

Christian dips his head in the crook of my neck and I complete the pose, doing my part.

He said that yesterday night was the last time he held me and was close to me, but look here, just an hour to his promise and he has already broken it. Hehe…

"Shut up." Christian growls with his head still in the crook of my neck.

Wait, did I say that out loud? Well, I guess I did.   

After that we do many more poses, like Christian hugging me from behind, us looking at each other with love in our eyes, yeah... PRETEND love in our eyes, me in his arms, bridal style, until...

"Now Christian will lie down and Sofie will be half on top of him." He says. This man might be thinking what a good job he is doing and how happy we will be once we get the photos, but little does he know that all this is torture for us... no, for Christian, because after last night, I believe he is not a bad person and I'm enjoying his closeness too.

Christian lies down on the ground and he has been following every instruction as if thinking that all this will be over soon.

I sit beside him and position myself to lay my head on his chest, and after that, I look deeply into his eyes for the second photo in the same position. He has his arms tightly wrapped around my lower back making me feel those tingling sensations. But even this is okay because what Mr Hall asks next with a bright and large grin on his face makes me pale.
