The Faceless Billionaire Celebrity Wife-Chapter 74: His Real Thoughts.

Music Recommendation: Bring me back By Miles Away.

"I could see it," Ethan began, causing Shikera’s eyes to cloud in confusion.

"What?"

"The disbelief in your eyes when I told you I was evil and super possessive. How about I show you now?" His question didn’t require an answer, as he was already acting on his own.

He pulled Shikera closer to himself and slid his hand into her hair, bringing her head closer to his, with only a few inches between their lips.

He looked down at her lips, his eyes flaming with fiery desire which he restrained himself from acting on. Moving away from Shikera, he eased himself out of his tuxedo jacket and removed his tie while leaving only the blue shirt he was wearing, and black trousers on.

"Now, we are matching," he whispered, staring up at her.

Shikera frowned.

"Were you angry that I was not wearing matching colours with you?" she asked, her disappointment vividly expressed.

Ethan smirked,"I clearly told you I was evil, didn’t I?"

Before Shikera could answer him, he threw his tie on the ground and smiled at her.

"Mind helping me pick it up?"

Though she was still confused, Shikera complied and tried bending to pick up the tie. However, her short dress was hindering her as it threatened to show her thighs if she so much as bent over, from her waist.

Another way she could do this, was to squat and pick it up, but that also had an hindrance as she was currently wearing a four inches stilettos. Used to wearing sneakers, sandals, or boots, she was not confident she would not fall if she rested her whole weight on the heels.

Therefore, she concluded on one of the choices. Looking around to confirm there was only Ethan in the room, she bent over to pick the tie and was about to stand up when she felt hands around her waist, keeping her in that position.

"You still ask what is wrong with what you are wearing?" She heard him mutter, as his hand moved her waist closer to him. He pressed his lower body against her buttocks and his hand caressed the soft flesh against her dress. He chuckled, hearing her sharp intake of breath. Slowly, he helped her up with his hand remaining on her waist while he stood behind her.

"Your tie..." Wanting to hand over his tie to him, Shikera trailed off when she felt his breath on her neck as his voice drifted into her ears.

"When is it stopping?"

"What’s that?" Shikera asked. How was this man able to switch topics so fast?

"’That’, is what is stopping me from proceeding. How many days does it take?"

Realization dawning on Shikera, blood rushed up to her face as she answered, "It takes uhm...four days for me..."

"Isn’t it four days already?"

"The fifth day is always to check, just in case...so, tomorrow..."

His breath which was hovering at Shikera’s nape now, was doing things to her and she could feel a certain kind of excitement build up in her lower belly. As if he had access to her thoughts, Ethan nipped her slightly to bring her back from her thoughts.

"Then, how about I show you the rest tomorrow?"

Shikera was silent, and he continued, "You seem dissatisfied. I have no problem if you want me to continue now-"

"No!"

Shikera hurriedly wiggled out of his arms to face him.

"How could you think of such?!" Her wide eyed expression almost made Ethan laugh but he restrained himself, simply absorbing the beauty of the face staring back at him.

"That barely counts as my thoughts though," he corrected her, while conjuring up an image of how red her face would be if she knew what his real thoughts were.

Seeing that she was about to argue with him again, he placed a finger on her lips.

"Does it still hurt?"

"No."

Getting that indirect approval, Ethan drew her closer and crashed his lips on her while letting his tongue dance and explore her mouth with reckless abandon.

Before she could recover herself, Shikera had already responded to the kiss as she parted her mouth, giving access to Ethan’s tongue.

If not for Ethan’s hand holding her waist firmly, Shikera was sure she would have been on the ground. The weakness in her legs coupled with her inexperience in wearing stilettos, were enough to send her crumbling to the ground.

Ethan, as if already aware of her weakness, bent down to his knees and eased her legs out of the shoes before standing back up to stare into her eyes.

Slowly, he drew her head closer and this time, the kiss was slow, passionate and fulfilling. It was not bound to be peaceful though, as the door was suddenly pushed open from outside and the worker from earlier rushed in.

"Ethan..." She trailed off. Though she could not see Ethan’s face as his back was facing her, she could see Shikera’s hair and body and could tell what kind of activity had been going on in this room. Her heart sank, but there was also a bit of excitement in her.

Ethan stiffened when he heard the voice. He slowly separated himself from Shikera and without turning back, he ordered, "Out of this room!"

Hazel left, her footsteps as quick as that of a mouse as she hurried out of the main mansion to the maids quarters.

Rushing into the small bungalow, she passed through the common room and ran into her room.

"It’s alright, Hazel. It’s bound to happen," she whispered again and again, as if to reassure herself.

Reaching for the small bedside shelf, she pulled it out and reached for a novel lying in one corner of the shelf. She opened it as fast as she could and stopped when she reached a page, reading out loud, "There’s bound to be a wealthy female villain in every romantic story. The female lead only has to be patient for a while, and then the male lead will come back to her."

Nodding her head vigorously as if supporting the words from the book, she turned the next page and continued reading,"The key attribute here for the female lead to have, is patience. Also, don’t forget to cry as tears will appease the goddess of love to accelerate your own love story."

Sighing in relief, she closed the book and put it back in its former position before laying down on her bed.

She had only laid down for ten minutes when a knock on her door roused her from her sleeping position. She grudgingly walked towards the door to open it, while cleaning the tears on her face. It was another worker whom she befriended when she arrived three days ago.

"Hazel! What’s the title of that book you recommended for me? I might actually get Young Master Ethan’s assistant, you know," the other worker asked.

Hazel’s eyes brightened. Yes! What was the essence of getting the CEO when you don’t have a friend to get the assistant?

With that thought in mind, she smiled and answered, "Rules In Snagging A CEO Husband."
