His Mate Her Husband

chapter 6

Bella

We both walked through the hallway towards his room. None of us said a word to each other. It is good that way unless I think so. I don't have courage to talk to him.

Although the house has a modern touch, I can tell that it is his ancestral house. Walking to his room I carefully observed the wall full of paintings. Some of them were new but others were taken decades ago. Two of the paintings perked up my interest. One of them was a portrait of a fighting scene. It looks like a battlefield but not just with the humans but wolves and another creature.

And the other picture was a normal family picture. Which is not normal at all, anyone can tell the picture was decades ago even when my parents weren't born yet but I can recognise the figure in the picture. It was Adam who was sitting on a chair with his elders. A cold sensation ran down my spine and I felt my throat tightened.

I realised I stopped walking when Adam tugged at my hand.

" I know, I have a huge family and I will tell you about them, maybe at another time," he said, looking at me lovingly.

My heart immediately melted, looking at him. I still can't process any of the things that have happened today. This is all like a dream to me. I gave him a small smile and nodded at him.

Adam pushed open a big wooden door leading me in. As I stepped inside, I felt like a cold wind passed through me.

" This is going to be our room, princess," he said.

I looked around taking in my surroundings. Sure enough it is as luxurious as I thought it would be. The room was painted in white and gold detailing and it looked royal.

The uneasiness in my heart started to grow even more the longer I looked at the wall that was beside the French window that led to a balcony.

Adam was saying something but the only sound I could hear was of my beating heart. This all looked perfect like a fairytale but my heart is saying something bad has happened.

The panic grew making my chest tight, my breath became shallow. I clutch my chest because of the pain I was feeling. It's like I was feeling someone else's pain, it was indescribable.

" Bella," Adam said, rushing to my side.

" What happened?" He asked, concern was visible in his eyes. I shook my head, I couldn't speak. The emotions were choking me.

He held my hand and led me to the bed and made me sit down. I shook my feelings because I was telling myself that it was all because of that I married way too soon to a person I just met that is why this is all happening to me. I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down.

" I am okay," I said.

" You don't look okay," he said, looking at my face full of concern.

" No really I am fine now," I assured him, looking up at his face. He doesn't look convinced.

" Maybe because I married too soon and to a total stranger. I don't know, maybe this is the cold feet like they all say you get just before you get married," I said. I lied, I didn't want to tell him that I was getting a vibe that something bad had happened in his room to his face.

" Yesh. Well, sorry that it is not like how you planned it would be your dream wedding. I just wanted to help you out of the situation. First of all you are my employee and I know you are a good person from the first time we met. I just didn't want you to get married to someone in a hurry and end up in a situation where you can't get out of," he explained himself.

Hearing his words I felt guilty. Yeah he was just trying to help me and now I feel like I am a burden on him.

" Hey hey, you are not and never going to be a burden on anyone. You are a special soul," he said, kneeling down in front of me.

He held my hand gently while looking into my eyes. I gasped when our skin made contact, the electrifying sparks returned. It felt amazing but at the same time dangerous. I felt comfortable like I wanted to stay with him but my mind is saying I should run away from him as far as possible.

" We are strangers to each other right now so I want you to give us a chance while your father is being treated," he said. There he hit my weakest point. I would have never afforded such an expensive treatment for my father and he reminded me of why I should stay with him, although he didn't mean it.

" I would never hurt you, princess. Take your time," he said, with a smile.

I didn't respond to him because if I opened my mouth I wouldn't be able to say anything. So, I just leaned forward and hugged him. He hugged me back.

" Thank you," I said, pulling away and giving him a kiss on his cheek.

He looked taken aback by my actions. He touched the spot on his cheek where I kissed him while looking at me with wide eyes.

Then I caught his gaze travelling from my eyes to my lips and I saw how his eyes got dark with lust. He gulped and locked his gaze on my eyes again, before towards me. His lips came down softly on my lips.

My eyes went wide as I let him kiss me. It felt weird but good. It is the first time someone kissed me. I never had the time to date anyone as I was busy earning money for my father's treatment.

He groaned and I knew he was restraining himself. He pulled away and looked into my eyes. Maybe he is pissed that I didn't kiss him back.

" What are you thinking?" He asked.

" I am sorry," I said.

" Why?"

" I didn't kiss you back. Well I didn't have any experience as it is my first time," I tried to explain.

" What?" He asked in disbelief.

" I…. I….."

" I was your first kiss?" He asked.

" Ummm, yes,"

" Well thank you, princess," he said, leaning forward kissing my forehead, before placing his forehead on mine.

" I will forever cherish that," he said, pulling away.

" I think we should change and get some sleep. It's a long day tomorrow," he said, getting on his feet.

" I forgot to tell you, we are leaving for our honeymoon," he said, earning a shocking gasp from me.

" We won't do anything without your consent. I just wanted to give you everything you would have had if we had married in normal circumstances," he said, putting up his hands in the air in a surrender. I chuckled.

" Where are we going?" I asked.

" It's a surprise," he said.

" I need my sleep then,"

" Ok. I am going into the guest room to shower. You can use this one," he said, pointing to the door opposite the walk-in closet. I nodded my head and with that he left me in the room.

After he left I decided to take a quick shower before hitting the bed. I stood up and stripped out of my beautiful wedding dress. I picked it up from the floor and left it on the couch before walking into the bathroom.

After I was done I stepped out in the room wrapped in a towel when I realised that they didn't bring anything and they didn't either.

" Shoot," I cursed myself, and wore my panties as I hurriedly went into the walk-in closet to find something to pull over. They are all too big for me looking at the clothes I took a black shirt and wore. I buttoned up the shirt and looked down to see that it came above my knees.

I looked at his neatly folded pants and I knew they were way too big for me. So I went out wearing only his shirt and my panties.,

My breath caught in my throat as soon as I stepped in the room. The lights were dimmed and Adam was already waiting for me on the bed leaning back on the headboard, one hand under his head flexing his chest, wearing only a pair of track pants. I gulped looking at his toned body. When my eyes travelled back to his eyes there was amusement and lust in his eyes as he was checking me.

I didn't think he would come back. My cheeks burned in embarrassment as I stood there glued to the floor in his clothes.

" Bella," he said, there is something in his voice that is pulling me towards him. I gathered my courage and gingerly walked to him before hopping on the bed.

" Sorry, I didn't bring anything and you said your people will bring my things but they didn't until now so I had to borrow your clothes," I explained.

" Look at me," he said, sitting up on the bed. And I did.

" Never ever apologise to me for anything. What I have is yours from the moment we became one," he said, looking into my eyes. I blink back my unshed tears that threatened to fall.

His eyes fell on my lips and I bit my lower lips at the intensity in his eyes. Without waiting any moment his lips came crashing down on mine in a heated and passionate kiss.
