Chapter 21
I was taken aback when he pushed me onto the bed, the suddenness of the action leaving me momentarily disoriented. Struggling to comprehend his intentions, my concern shifted more towards what he was planning rather than my almost naked form sprawled on the bed.
My heart rose to my chest when he removed his shirt completely and tossed it aside.
My breath hitched in my throat when he took a step forward and stood at the edge of the bed. My whole body trembled and my brain stopped working.
As he placed a knee on the edge of the bed, an instinctual panic set in. Without thinking, I turned onto my stomach, a futile attempt to crawl away from the unexpected turn of events. But he was too fast to read my move, his strong grip closing around my ankle and swiftly pulling me back under his control. In the blink of an eye, he loomed above me.
What?” 1 managed to speak, confusion clearly visible on my face as I tried to make sense of the sudden shift in his demeanor.
I tried to push him away but he grabbed my wrists in one of his large palms and pinned them above my head in one swift move. I twisted my wrists in his hold in an attempt to make myself free but everything was futile because his strength was unmatchable. He spends hours in the gym while I barely walk.
His other hand came down to cup my face, while one kept my wrists in their place. His eyes were not leaving my face even for a second. One question was reeling in my head on a loop.
What is he up to?
What happened to him all of a sudden?
“I will
go
20
and take a shower,” I said when I was sure that his intentions were not good.
With a sly smile on his lips, he shook his head from left to right, dismissing my words with an air of authority.
I only order once; if it is not followed, then I do things my way, he asserted, his tone laced with a subtle warning. The weight of his gaze bore into mine, an intensity that left me feeling exposed and vulnerable. “you need to learn it.”
“But…” I started to protest, my voice catching in my throat. The uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach intensified, a growing sense of fear knotting my insides.
“Shhh,” he hushed me, his finger gently pressing against my lips. The abrupt silence that followed was suffocating.
While keeping my wrists tightly secure in his large, rough palm and sealing my lips with his finger, he dipped his head in the crook of my neck, sending an involuntary shiver down my spine. The hot breath that fanned my skin ignited an unfamiliar heat, causing goosebumps to rise across my body in response to the unexpected intimacy.
1 wiggled under him but it was also of no use because he had pinned me under him with his body weight.
I shivered when his lips planted a small kiss on the crook of my neck. His warm lips barely touched my skin but it was enough to set my body on fire.
“What are you doing?” I voiced out before I could lose control over my own body.
He pulled back, his face hovering just inches from mine, his hot breath mingling with mine.
“Removing his touch, he whispered against my lips and I knew about whose touch he was talking about, “so that the only touch that your body remembers is mine.”
He is reacting like crazy even when Jasper hasn’t touched me. I don’t know what he would have done if Jasper had actually touched me.
“Why are you doing this? You said that I am not your type, I asked when he was about to kiss me again.

Chapter 21
He smiled softly
“Indeed, you are not,” he admitted, the words falling short of sincerity.
“But you
are mine,” he asserted, a possessive glint in his eyes that left no room for argument.
“I my tongue darted out to lick my lips, which went dry out of nervousness. His eyes flicked down to my lips for a second before they came back to my eyes. “I am not yours.” I tried to remind him about the reality of our relationship.
His hold tightened and a flash of emotion passed through his eyes, clearly showing that he didn’t like what I just said.
“You are my wife,” he asserted as if I were actually his wife. ‘no one is allowed to touch you.”
“I am not your
wife in this room and he didn’t touch me,” I argued. “He never did!”
It was quite clear that he didn’t like me taking the side of Jasper. His jaw twitched and the expressions of playfulness substituted for those of anger. He narrowed his eyes at me and his nose flared in anger.
I gulped and my eyes started glistening with moisture when his hold on my wrist became so tight that it started hurting. I blinked up at him and my lips formed a small pout.
His eyes flicked down to my lips once again before returning to lock onto mine. The intensity of his gaze was momentarily softened as his free hand cupped my face, his thumb gently caressing my cheek. A sudden shift in his demeanor left me bewildered, my confusion mirrored in my eyes.
These eyes,” he murmured, moving his face closer to mine as he stared deep into my eyes, “are treacherous.”
My eyes moved between his in confusion as his gaze moved down my body.
“And this body is so tempting,” he continued, his words sending a shiver down my spine.
He pushed his hard body more into my soft one, making me slightly groan.
I was completely under his control and I wasn’t even sure what he might do to me tonight. I can’t fight him.
“But, as you said, I am not your type,” I argued again, my voice cracking and my lips again forming a pout as I fought back
my tears.
In response, he started laughing like a maniac, and a sudden shift in his expression caught me off guard. The echoes of his laughter reverberated in the room, leaving me petrified. I didn’tand anything funny in this.
“You know, in the desert, even the dirtiest water tastes sweetest.
Confusion was etched on my face as I couldn’t get what he meant
“From the day we have been rumoured to be husband and wife, can’t go to any other woman.” My breath caught in my throat when he pushed his hard on against my stomach. “now you are my wife so you would have to take care of my physical needs.”
I shook my head from left to right when his words settled in my head.
“Please, I don’t want this.”
He moved his body away, and a shuddering breath of relief escaped my lips.
“Don’t worry, I will not do anything against your consent.”
His hand moved up and his thumb drew circles on my lower lip. Making the way for his thumb in between my lips, he slid it inside my mouth. His eyes followed the movement, a predatory intensity lacing his gaze.
I was too shocked to make any i move and even more stunned when his next words came out of his mouth.
