After taking a hot comforting bath, Akira wore her bathrobe and came outside to get dressed. The steam had helped to relax her a lot and all the cramp and discomfort that he had, had vanished. She was feeling fresh as a lark and that reflected on her face. She looked all dewy and fresh like a flower that had bloomed out from a bud, just after the morning sun kiss.

As she was looking through the suitcases, trying to figure out what all had been packed by Katherine, she felt someone’s hand gently embracing her.

“You smell amazing”, and he nuzzled the tip of his nose in her hair.

“It’s the shampoo. It is coconut flavour and has a hint of lavender too I guess,” she said after sniffing a bit of her own hair. 

He took a deep breath holding her tight as if he wanted to immerse himself in her fragrance. 

“I could just quit everything and go on a world tour with you. We should just visit places and spend time with each other. That’s all.”

“I see. And without working from where will we get the money to spend lavishly on suites and flights?” she asked.

“I could just sell both the companies and use the money. Should be good enough for at least a minimum of ten years and maybe after that, we might get bored with each other,” he said and softly nibbled on her lower left ear lobe.

“Mmmmm…” she mumbled and then asked, “So you are going to get bored of me after 10 years? You can already see that happening in future?” 

“Yep”, replied Raymond and that made Akira turn back towards him with anger. And as she hastily turned back, her wet hair dipped Raymond’s face in that coconuty fuzziness. Her bathrobe had loosened a bit, and he could see the water trickling from her hair to her neck and then even to the south. His eyes followed every drop of water and his lips slowly parted. Closing his eyes he inhaled her again and a smile etched on his face. Letting out a small troubled gasp of air from his mouth he said,

“You are so predictable. And you know what I love that about you!” and holding her face gently in his hands he kissed her nose.

“Predictable huh!” scoffed Akira and struggled to get out of his arms. But unfortunately she couldn’t. After all they were shackles of love. The more she struggled, the deeper she got entangled.

“I was just trying to irk you a bit. You looked way too peaceful after that bath.” He teased her with his words but this time she didn’t mind. His masculine scent had started to make her head go all fuzzy and her knees all weak.

“Kiss me then!” she mumbled. Her voice slightly withered with all the want in her heart.

And Raymond opened his eyes and saw the look on her face. Her eyes were inviting him into a dark world of pleasure. It was so hard not to cave in. So he took a deep breath and lifted her up in his arms and took her towards the bed.

“Don’t get your hopes up!” he said and helped her sit on the bed. 

Akira sat on the bed all perplexed and looked at him as he moved towards the suitcases and rummaged through her clothes. He finally found what he needed. A turtle-neck sweater and jeggings.

“Wear this! We will then go down for breakfast.”

“You want me to wear this on our honeymoon?” she asked rolling her eyes, and he could sense how displeased she was.

“Yes maam!” he replied.

“Oh come on Raymond. I want to wear all fancy and nice things on my honeymoon. Not a bloody turtle-neck.” 

“It’s for your own good. I am telling you,” he said and placed the clothes on the bed as he lightly hovered on her.

“My own good!” mouthed Akira.

Coming closer he cupped his chin and said,

“Don’t tease me now. Go and get dressed. I need a bath now, and I am warning you. You better be in that dress when I come back. This bathrobe is playing with my mind.”

And saying that he gave her a kiss that made every inch of her body squirm in pleasure. But before she could even dive into that kiss, he got up and rushed towards the bathroom.

“Oh, come on!” she whined and then looked at the clothes on her bed and sighed. Although it was a beautiful turquoise coloured sweater, she was loathing it.

With much reluctance she put on the clothes and looked at herself in the full view mirror. 

“Huh! Not bad,” she murmured as the sweater was skin tight and was hugging all around her body like a second skin. The stark black jeggings left no room around her, accentuating every curve that she had. A wicked smile crept on her lips, and she started to blow dry her hair.

She titled her head a bit and looked towards the bathroom and seeing how steamy it was, she knew that he would be coming out soon. So she quickly rummaged through the makeup box and patted her face with a bit of compact. She had already moisturized her face and as she possessed a naturally blemish free skin, she didn’t need much makeup. Her face was already glowing, and she knew that Raymond was not the sort of man who liked a cakey look. So she always stuck to moderation.

Next she picked up a natural tone mascara and slowly accentuated her lashes and with the same brush she slightly brushed her eyebrows to get them into a nice shape. Then picking up the darkest and sexist shade of red lipstick she looked in the mirror and said,

“I am going to make you regret every single choice that you have made Mr. Raymond.”

And without delaying any further she started painting her lip red.
