Adeline Santiago's POV

I wake up to warm sunlight streaming through the window onto my bare back.

I turn to see that Matéo is not beside me.

I go into the closest and find one of his black sport shirts and wear it, along with a pair of shorts for decency.

I brush my teeth quickly and wash my face, before tying up my hair.

I walk barefoot down the steps and through some corridors until I see the kitchen.

I walk inside to see Matéo standing at the counter shirtless, cooking something.

He can cook, too?

I silently walk up behind him and as I get closer, I see a couple of scratches and bruises on his back from last night and I feel my face heat up.

I plant a few kisses on his shoulder.

I wrap my arms around his waist and slide my hands to the front of his hips and put my hands down his sweatpants.

He turns around to face me and his eyes skim over my body.

"Hm, good morning baby" he says, his voice voice still deep from sleep.

"Good morning Matéo" I say a little bit shy.

He smiles down at me and kisses me.

"I had fun last night" he says.

I look away shyly.

"I did too. Thank you" I tell him.

"For what?" He asks.

"That's what people who love each other do" he tells me with a shrug and my heart jumps.

The idea of being in love is still so foreign to me.

Before Matéo, I never really had time for dating.

I nod at him and turn to the counter, to see what he's doing.

It looks like pancake batter.

I take over from him and make breakfast, fairly quickly. 

After we are done, I collect the plates and take them up for washing.

I'm part way through and then I feel his presence behind me.

He presses his groin into my butt and my stomach fills with butterflies.

"Matéo, no!" I giggle.

I know exactly what he wants.

He swivels my hips around to face him.

I look up at him and his eyes have gone dark again.

"You sure?" He asks.

I gulp.

His hands find my butt from underneath the shirt and he grabs it.

Butterflies float around in my stomach once again and I suck in a sharp breath.

He can read me like a book.

He lifts me up and sets me on the edge of the kitchen sink.

I wrap my arms around his neck and trail my fingers through his hair.

"There is going to be an event tonight and you, Mrs Santiago, are going to be my date" he says.

I nod and he kisses my neck gently, biting slightly.

All of a sudden, his phone rings, making me jump.

He looks at the contact and he rolls his eyes.

He picks up the call.

"What is it!" He snaps.

He rubs his hand over his face and sighs.

"I'm a little busy right now" he said, his eyes flickering towards me and then back to the floor.

"My wife and I will be there in a few minutes" he says.

My heart skips as he refers to me as his wife.

He cuts the call and looks at me apologetically.

"We have a meeting to be at" he says.

"Dress a little formally and then we'll get going" he tells me.

I nod and get off of the sink. I walk up the stairs and into our room.

I grab a towel walk into the bathroom to take a proper shower.

I strip down and get into the shower letting the hot water rinse me down.

I catch sight of my reflection in the glass and my eyes widen.

Love bites are scattered all over my neck and chest.

Nothing a little concealer can't fix...

I finish off and wrap myself in my towel before stepping into the room. 

Matéo is walking around in just his briefs.

I use a hand to cover my eyes and a small squeal escapes me.

I turn my back on him, hand still over my eyes.

He laughs loudly and I hear his footsteps behind me.

"You saw me a lot more naked than this last night" he tells me.

I breathe in sharply.

He chuckles and walks past me and into the bathroom.

I breathe out and then quickly get dressed before he can come back.

I look good.

I walk downstairs and find a file on the table.

It looks like it is important.

I pick up the file and read it. It is the details of the meeting.

I skim through it quickly until I feel a presence behind me and a masculine scent engulf me.

I spin around on my stool to see Matéo right behind me.

I look at his outfit

He looks casual but alert.

"You know, they say curiosity killed the cat" he tells me.

I feel a little scared until I see the look on his face.

"Well the satisfaction brought it back" I respond.

He trails a finger down the middle of my chest, before grabbing the middle of my shirt and pulling me close.

He moves closer and plants a kiss on my neck and attempts to make another hickey, but reels away soon after, wiping his mouth.

"Ugh, what the fuck is that?!" He asks.

I giggle.

"Concealer don't taste too good does it?" I ask.

He scrunched up his nose.

"Why, did you use it?" He asks.

I point at him.

"So that you don't distract me during this meeting" I say.

He chuckles.

"Is that a fact or are you hoping?" He asks.

I glare at him.

"Let's go" he tells me.
