ARTEMISIA
"What is that?"
"What does it look like?" I retorted, staring at Sin.
"I don't know." He mumbled, shrugging. "Besides, it's irritating when you answer a question with another question."
I shrugged whilst continuing with what I was doing. "I didn't say you could ask me a question either."
Sin shook his head as he walked towards the large mahogany wardrobe. "You seemed grumpy this morning. I doubt if it's due to the nightmare you had or maybe that is the way you wake up each morning."
"I hadn't noticed because I barely sleep in this room." He added. "What is going on with you?"
"The thought of you and your presence makes me grumpy," I replied, scowling.
To be honest, I didn't know the reason I was grumpy either. After using my phone the moment he left, I had eventually gone back to sleep.
When I woke, my mood had been off and I decided to do something worthwhile instead of sulking around the room.
I doubt it was because of the nightmare since it wasn't my first time having it.
I believe it was due to the presence of Sin in the room. However, I knew it wasn't so because before he stepped into the room, I was already cranky.
Maybe, I mulled whilst thinking about the last time I had my period. it might be my time of the month.
I had forgotten to take notice of it due to the instant wedding I had with Sin. Everything had happened so fast and I had been so overwhelmed by it to notice. I needed to check the calendar later to ensure it would not be arriving unexpectedly.
"Well, if you act this way each morning, I doubt anyone would be pleased to be near you. I'm not saying you make me happy, I'm just saying you look somewhat reasonable when you smile."
"Whatever," I mumbled. I eyed him as he began to wear a plaid shirt I had never seen him on.
I hadn't even seen it in his wardrobe because I had ransacked it whilst looking for what to wear to bed last night.
Seldomly, I get tired of wearing nighties and I sleep naked or wear a pyjama bottom and tank top.
I didn't bring the latter with me and I didn't have it in mind to sleep on Sin's bed naked. So, I attempted to look for one of his clothes even though I know he might get angry if he saw me in it.
"Stop staring at me." He said, snapping me out of my thoughts. "If you want me, just let me know instead of ogling me like a piece of meat."
"Who did I hear that statement from?" I mumbled. I tapped my chin with my fingers whilst attempting to pretend to think. "Oh, it is from you and I wasn't staring at you!"
"It's fine." He chuckled, walking towards the vanity. "You can look. I won't say anything because I am your husband and you own me as much as I own you."
"Go away, Sin. You are distracting me." I grumbled whilst he turned towards me.
My eyes raked his exposed chest. My fingers itched whilst staring at his messy hair, I yearned to grip it whilst assessing his sensuous lips. My nipples tingled as I felt his eyes on me, my core dampened and I clenched my legs to stop me from leaping out of bed, into his arm.
Oh, gods! What was he doing to me?
Only a glance from him would make me want to do things I hadn't done before. Ridiculous things I wouldn't even dare to do but only imagined.
"I know, I'm irresistible." He smirked, flexing his bicep and licking his bottom lips.
He strode towards me, picked me and dumped me on the bed again. He came down on top of me, straddling me.
"Tell me you want me, darling. You want this sexy man that is your husband."
I shivered as he licked my ears.
"You are disgusting." I fake gagged whilst resisting the urge to give in to the temptation.
He was irresistible. However, there was no way I was telling him that. I didn't want to inflate his ego larger than it was.
I had managed to sit up but he was still very much close. I attempted to shove him, but he gripped my hand.
I gasped as my chest smacked his as he hoisted me. His hot breath fanned across my neck and I shivered as a sensation began building inside of me.
The knitting needle and yarn with me fell to the floor as he kneaded my derriere. I scrunched his shirt in my hand as he kissed my neck down to my collar bone.
That was the most sensitive part of my body. I don't know why. Ever since the night we had been together, whenever Sin was close to me, my neck tingled and I reacted to him even though it was the last thing on my mind.
"You are mine, baby." He rasped into my ear.
My eyes lifted to his and I stared into his dark eyes before his mesmerizing lips.
I moistened my lips as I stared at him again.
I didn't know why I was stalling. I could kiss him now but I didn't. I believe I wanted him to make the first move before I did.
His lips neared mine and I pushed myself into him, puckering my lips.
"This will have to wait until later." He whispered into my ear.
Goodness! I had thought he was going to kiss me!
He chuckled as he released his grip on me. He brushed a hand into his hair and walked towards the door.
"Don't miss me too much, darling." He blew a kiss before stepping out of the door.
"Jerk." I huffed, scowling.
He had f*cking left me yearning for him. The nerves of him!
He knew what he was doing. I would also make sure he wouldn't be getting me easily tonight.
He thought he owned my body. He had said that and he believed he could do whatever he wanted with it.
"Shit!" I had left him to do it too because he was freaking irresistible and he knew that. I sighed, sitting on the bed. I snatched the knitting needle and yarn from the floor, dumping them into the last drawer in the nightstand.
So much for wanting to keep myself busy.
I glared at the ceiling before shutting my eyes.
