Loving her wasn't part of the plan

Thirteen-Getting hot

Nicholas stared at Gabriela on his bed she was startled by his presence and looked thoroughly embarrassed. He stared at her amused, a smirk grew on his face. He had concluded that she had mistaken his room for hers.

She tried to get up, avoiding his intense stare.

"I see you came around for your wedding night. Quite overdressed if you ask me." he said so casually, wanting to tease the living hell out of her, she looked naive with the way she averted her gaze from his toned torso.

He knew what Elena would do if she caught him in this situation, her long nail tracing lines along his hard ridges chest, trying her best to seduce him, but Gabriela here won't do any of that, she hardly knows what to do with herself in this situation talk more about him.

The teasing got to her as she stared at him her eyes widened, her cheeks heating up, the need to leave here was greater than before, she has never seen a man close to being naked before, the sight alone ravelled her and frightened her, he was a man and she a woman, things can happen in this type of situation, she was a gynaecologist she dealt with the product of the joining of a man and woman.

She was properly educated on s*x and the man standing close to her with a grin on his face, was a living version of it.

"Erm...Mistook your roomfor mine, Um...I would be going now." She stuttered her try to at least clarify her position in this situation she found herself.

She should have waited for Rachel and at least managed her bladder to avoid this...

She stood up avoiding his gaze, he smiled widely at her, mocking her. Sure he was used to more mature ladies seeing him this way without fretting like she was, so it was amusing on his side to see his wife behave in such a manner about seeing him in only his towels.

She wasn't like those girls that jump on every man that looks attractive, physically. She has never seen a man without his shirt before, and he stood there with his towel wrapped lightly around his lean waist, lowering towards his pelvic.

She was this close to seeing him naked, that alone would blow her mind.

Eating up the distance with her walk to the door done in a hurry, her ankle twitched in an unkind way when her heel bent to an angle, she found herself falling backwards, trying to stable her balance wasn't working, it was meant for her to embarrass herself in front of this egoistic man.

Nicholas was amused by how childish his new wife behaved, she was always an ideal woman with a tinge of maturity written all over her, he wasn't expecting her to escape the situation she found herself, contrary to his expectations, she stood up and walked hastily to the door.

He wondered what his expectations were?

Just seeing the sight of her smooth bare back, had him drowning in lust once again, lusting for his new wife isn't what he had in mind, his gaze went towards her slender waist, his hands itching to wrap her waist around his tight hold, and capture her small mounds under his palm, why was he ridden with lust for her. She was plain, remember, wasn't your type, he thought.

She suddenly seems like the type of woman, he wouldn't mind on his bed, his boiling blood rushed downwards a familiar feeling arising, just then he noticed the slip of her feet and knowing what comes next after that, he suddenly came to her rescue, holding her from falling.

His arm wrapping her back, he looked at her in the eyes, her brown eyes, catty wild, downwards to her lips, plump, sexy, it looked irresistible.

Gabriela knew she was saved by Nicholas, but could not ignore the way he stared at her or cautioned herself not to get drowned in the depth of his brown eyes, she could not describe or understand it, but it left her feeling awkward under his hold, his warmth eradicating his body warming her cold own.

Wriggling out of his surprising tight hold, she stabled her feet on the floor relieved, they both avoided each other stares, breaching their initial agreement to stay far away from each other, though silly circumstances brought her to this moment and she allowed that with her carelessness.

"Uh, thank you." She said her voice stronger than before dashing through the door, her scent lingering around him.

She smelt like flowers, the only scent alone provoked his senses and increased lust.

This wasn't the way it should be, he left grooming grounds for dirty thoughts about his new wife to grow, he recalled their agreement, he wasn't doing a good job keeping his part.

He was lusting after her, just immediately after their marriage, he guessed the thought has always been there and seeing her in this dress provoked his primal nature, but he can't do anything about it, with her it would be wrong.

For now, a cold shower would do.

Gabriela had herself rolling in blames for her stupidity, Rachel left the keys to her room stuck in the lock for her to recognize as the door to her room, but her stupid self mistook it and went two-room further complicating herself with Nicholas.

The only thing she could see where his dark eyes staring down at eye, his features softer when closer.

He had a very masculine face, everything about him was sharp, hard, even his gaze on her. He looked mad when he held her, but his gaze told a different unknown story to her.

He had a sharp jawline with hooded brooding eyes, at the top was well-trimmed brows, his nose stood prominently on his face. And his lips were thin and wide, can easily be manipulated into a grin or smirk for mocking, he towered over her when he held her from falling, his presence exhilarating.

Enough of him, she thinks too much about him after their little incident.

She decided to focus her time to prepare for her night shift, she had her shower and changed into something more comfortable, her cotton pants and a chiffon shirt.

Wearing heels left strap marks around her feet, so she decided to go for her open feet sandals, though her belongings lacked the proper arrangements she would deal with that later, after her shift.

She dumped her car keys in her bag, Kelvin returned immediately after he got down from the car earlier, her phone and her office card.

Stepping out of her room, she was surprised to see the whole house this quiet, she recalled Nicholas typed in some code for the door to open, she wasn't paying attention maybe Rachel would know the code but she was nowhere to be seen.

She would just have to try and see if the door would open normally, without codes.

She went towards the door and turned the knob but it hardly budged, she tried harder but it wasn't budging.

The only option left for her was to try the code, she thought about disturbing Rachel in her sleep but her conscience would not allow it, she would just have to find another way to leave this house and go to work.

Trying the code would not hurt, if she tried recollecting the words and numbers Nicholas typed, it might work.

Her heart raced hard, in a way that told her she was doing wrong, sneaking around like a thief, she punched the button and the next thing that happened was the living room light switched on, Nicholas stood by the wall, thankfully he changed to a tank top and joggers.

His muscles rippling out of his clothes, he looked strong with those muscles biceps of him.

Nicholas could not believe his eyes when the person he suspected breaking into his house after the alarm went off twice, he was met with his wife all changed and dressed up, back to her conservative self, going out in the night. To meet who?

His mind wondered.

Maybe her boyfriend or lover, why else would she be sneaking out in the night, she seemed shocked when he switched the light on, and guilt strewed all her very her face.

"Can you open the door, I am running late," he frowned at her request but came closer to her.

"Where are you going to? To meet you boyfriend, lover."

He noticed the frown and disgust expressed in her face, "I have no boyfriend, or lover and you have no rights to insinuate things, the way it suits your imaginations."

She warned.

"Tell me where are you too? It is a simple question, where to, it is late? And you want to go out "

"I have a shift at the hospital, I am needed." Her short reply left him a bit surprised himself.
