M scenes at the end ;)

AMBER ZAID

I couldn't believe my ears. Am I really hearing him right? I thought for sure that he wanted to separate after what happened between us but I was surely surprised at what he was implying.

I had thought that my taking advantage and taking this marriage for granted would leave me empty handed at the end but I just couldn't fathom that he would overcome it and move on.

I imagined myself. I must really seem surprised by him so I quickly put on a
"What do you mean?"

"I mean exactly what I said." He stated firmly. " sure, I would be lying of I said that I didn't think about it but I didn't even come close to contemplating divorce." His grip on my wrist tightened and anruptedly, I collided against his chest and the next thing I know, his lips captured mine in a hot and heated kiss. I tried to get him off of me but he caught both of my wrists in one hand while his other hand gripped tell back of my neck.

He kissed me to furiously like he was trying to get all his anger out on me. His lips danced on mine and he began to nibble on my lower lips when I refused to respond. He bit my lower lower lip and quickly released me. Panting, he shouted. "Do you regret this?" I flinched, his clear blue eyes ablaze with rage but again, his lips crashed on mine. His hand behind my neck released my tired hair and we fell on the bed.

Why is he doing this? If he goes on, it'll trigger my lust and all rationale will leave my mind and I'll have no choice but to succumb to him. And I didn't have my periods anymore so I couldn't give him a reason to refuse.

I needed to stop him. He wasn't making any sense and I wanted to get some sense out of him. If he continued to kiss me, I wouldn't be able to control myself and I can't do this now.

He tugged on my lower lip and bit it lightly, asking for access. I tried to keep him at bay and my bound hands struggled to get out of his hold but it wasn't of any use. His body rubbed against mine harshly and I could easily feel that he was aroused and I was getting too.

He licked my lower lip again and tugged.

Oh fuck it. This might be the last time that we kiss so I should make the best of it.

I opened my mouth and began to kiss him back. He released my hands, which showed that his guard was down now but I don't care. I caught his neck and pushed him into me. He tilted his head to a side that granted us better access and we kissed each other so violently until we ran out of breath.

Panting, he caught the sides of my face and made me look straight into his eyes. "I never regretted marring you. I never thought that this marriage is a mistake. I married you of my on choice. You didn't force me to." He stipulated, his voice authoritative. His fingers gripped me even tighter against my madible as he leaned closer and brushed his lips softly on my temple. My eyes involuntarily closed and my hands caught his elbows. His soft scent of wood spice lingered on me and I felt a bit overwhelmed.

"So please stop thinking like this. Don't assume things on your own." He whispered against my temple.

So I was wrong? I don't know whether i should happy about it or not. He got off of me and pulled my wrist to sat up. He came closer and placed his arm on my shoulders, hugging me on his side. My face came in the crook between his neck and shoulder and his chin placed on top of my head while his hand caught mine. He carassed the dorsum of my hand and drew circles.

It's these small gestures that melt my heart and cause me to almost break my rules. I wanted to push him away but I couldn't find the strength to do so.

"You don't get divorced on small quarrels. Yes, I agree that what you said was mean and hurtful but it's okay. I've forgiven you for it."

Really? So easily? I wanted to look at him but I felt shameful. My guilt was beginning to eat at me.

"And just because I was in a disheveled situation doesn't mean that I would retire from my senses and leave you. I'm not a quitter and I won't give up on our marriage that easily." He confided, his voice strong.

I pulled out of his embrace and gazed into his eyes. His blue orbs were full of sincerity and his small smile was genuine. "Gran is dead Bree. All I have now is you." He muttered. "I want to be with you because I only have you now. I want to spend my life with you. I'm willing but," he paused and looked at me seriously.

"It's unfair if I'm the only one who's trying. I also want you to try to make this marriage work." He stated earnestly. Am I ready for that? But if I compromised then that could lead to disastrous outcomes. I pulled away from him and stood on my feet. I folded my arms against my chest and glared at him.

"What you're asking for means that you want to break the marriage demands." I said. He sighed and shook his head. "I never said that. I signed and agreed to those demands and I'm not breaking them. All I want is for us to work out. And that cam only happen if we get to know each other." He claimed willfully.

Was I ready for this? Well that's a big no. Somehow, getting divorced and going our separate ways looked more appealing then staying and letting him break the barriers that I made to protect myself and what's more, I have certain goals that I'm working for and I cannot disregard them.

"What you're asking for can ask breech the contract."

"What's wrong with you free. Here I'm pouring my heart out and all you care about is that stupid contract? If I've said that I'm not breaking it them why don't you believe me?" He yelled, after all its only justified but i wasn't backing down either.

"I don't care. I will not tolerate any breech on those demands." I hissed through clenched teeth.

"Is it the demands that your afraid that I'll break or is it the walls tgat you've built around yourself?" He inquired. I was taken aback by his question.

"Because I know that you're only trying to protect yourself. You're insecure and you think that I'll leave you at some point in life. But I won't and you don't have any faith in me to believe my claim." He said and came close to me. I saw nothing but an open invitation in his eyes to have faith in him but how could i? In my own self doubt and less faith in people, I find that difficult to do.

"Amber, all I'm asking for is a chance to start over. I don't want us to have a mutualistic relationship. I want us to have a normal relationship but that can only happen if you are willing to try." He asserted.

I wanted to believe him and trust him but something was still pulling me back. He caught my face in his hands and gazed deeply into my brown eyes. He's so beautiful that I can't help but be happy that even now he's chosen to stay with a wreck like me.

"Let me fall in love with you. Let me love you." He murmured against my lips. I pushed him back abruptly but he still caught my hands and didn't let go.

I don't know why his claim made me angry. I mean, shouldn't I have been happy that he's ready to love me but my insecurity dominated me and I'm not going to allow him to take another step towards me.

"Don't, Zac. You don't know me and I won't let you know me either. So please stop with this sentimental crap." I snapped and slapped his hands away.

"If you can love me then fine, but then don't expect the same courtesy from me. I married you because I have to fulfil certain ambitions." I confessed.

He stared at me me for a few seconds until a confident smirk graced his lips. "Well then, how about a wager?"

My brows furrowed in confusion. What's he on about now? "What do you mean?"

"I mean that we hold a wager. If I manage to fall in love with you, then you can forget about divorce and you must never think about it ever again. And if you fall in love with me, then I'll sell my apartment and everything that I own here in the US and forever move in with you to Pakistan. Whatever the case will be, it will establish my faithfulness towards you." He stated, his voice resonant and confident.

What the hell is he talking about? What unreasonable nonsense is this?

"Are you crazy? What's the point of such useless childish antics?

"Why are you resorting to such means?"

"Its so you can learn to trust me." He implied solemnly. I inhaled deeply and looked away from him.

He sounds really serious about this wager. Why is he so desperate to prove his point? "Well, do we have a wager then?" He exclaimed, stretching out his hand.

I suppose there's no harm in it. After all, it'll give me some give to stall and if I get pregnant in the process then it's a plus point for me. He seems so cocky and confident that I'll fall for him but I have another thing coming. That won't happen and I know it. He doesn't but he will one day.

I swallowed hard against the lump in the throat. "Alright." I concurred and shook his hand firmly. His blue eyes shone with a brilliance that I hadn't seen before-- almost as he now possessed something that couldn't be taken from him.

I frowned in confusion but before I could ask what his expression was about, he pulled me towards him and his lips crashed upon mine. My heart began to pound violently as his hands went from my jaw to the hem of my shirt and quickly did away with my shirt which fell half away across the room.

We collapsed on the bed when he released my mouth for breath. Taking off his shirt, i saw his smooth chest. Blushing profusely, my hands unconsciously went up and passed over his rectus abdominis; came back on to me and kissed me with a need. His hands  clasped the hook of my bra and he quickly grabbed my right breasts.

I have to stop. I usually take the lead in sex and I prefer it that way.

"W-wait, Zac!" I gasped as his mouth released my mouth only to engulf my bare breasts. I moaned, my back arching of the mattress and my hands fisted the quilt beneath. My feminine core got wetter with his blazing touch.

"Shh," he hushed against the  hardened bud and teased it with his rough tongue. "You always take the lead. Now I'm going to take it and I'm going to make you fall for me." He murmured allurungly against my naked flesh. His every touch sent electric shocks against my skin and down my spine. His lips went from my chest to my navel as his hands opened my jeans and peeled them off my legs. I began to quiver with fright and embarrassment.

"A-at least switch off the lights!" I managed in a weak voice. He got of the bed and took off his pants and boxers. I looked everywhere but him. I was feeling so embarrased especially since the lights were on.

The shifted and He spread apart my knees and settled between my thighs. I could feel his heat radiating towards me. I squeezed my eyes shut. And my cheeks flared when I felt him position himself. I covered my face to hide my coyness because I was always boldness during sex but tonight I wasn't.

I heard him chuckle and his breath came near my face. I slowly opened my eyes and saw his hovering on top of me. "You're red as a tomato. Where my bold wife gone too?" He asked in amusement. I made a face and looked at him with discomfort.

"That's because I'm not comfortable with the lights on." I said and placed my hands on his nearing chest. He placed both his hands besides my head and leaned in to plant a kiss on my temple. And in one swift move, he thrust inside of me, knocking the breath out of me.

"The lights remain on. And you better get used to this because we've just had our very first heart to heart chat and now I'm going to win that wager." He grumbled and thrust into me with a need that o recognised as hunger and wanting.

"Ah, Zac!" I screamed. I wrapped my legs around his waist. My nails ran on his bare back and scratched him as he drove into me with a desperate need.

My heart was beating so fast that I felt like it would explode as with every thrust, he sped up. His lips planted rough kisses on my neck. I moaned. Abruptly, he unlocked my legs around him and pulled out of me. I moaned loudly. Panting loudly, i propped on my elbows and saw him sitting on his knees.

He caught my waist and pulled me towards him. He lifted my right ankle and placed it on his shoulder and thrust into me again. He rubbed my wet nub as his penis assaulted my vagina. "AH!' I screamed. I felt myself nearing.

"Scream my name!" He ordered and thrust deeper and harder into me. "Ahh, Zac." I cried. My hands couldn't grasp his shoulders to the went up and fisted the edges of the pillow and gasped and moaned as he continued.

When I couldn't hold it in anymore, I was about to released when he growled and let my leg fall from his shoulder. "Hold it in." He commanded and hovered on top of me, gathering me in his embrace as his lips went up and attacked my neck. A growl erupted from his chest and he bite on my neck causing a delicious pain to run down my spine and make my exploding core heated.

He graoned loudly. "Okay, come now!" He ordered, whispering in my ear. As soon as I exploded, I also felt his warm release inside of me.

He collapsed on top of me, his face in the crook of my neck. My chest heaved up and down as I tried to catch my breath. His breath was fanning my neck and he cuddled closer to my chest and sighed.

That was amazing but I'm not going to admit it to him.
