Runaway Lover

Kiss

Kaito Ishikawa's POV

I paused the movie we've been watching from the remote control in my hand and stared at the woman who's casually sitting on the chair next to my bed.

"Why don't you lay next to me here? The bed is wide enough for two people."

Akira gave me a disapproving frowned as she stared at me.

"I'm fine here, darling. Resume the movie, we're already on the exciting part."

It was my turned to frown in her direction. "You've been sitting in that chair for hours, my wife. Your muscle now must be stiff." I tapped the mattress beside me.

"Rest here. It's more comfortable watching movie while in a relaxed position."

"I'm fine here, Leandro." She smiled at me as she slid her gaze back on the flat screen TV. Silently waiting for me to resume the movie we're watching.

I studied her face for a moment. After her flight to the kitchen to get some snack and her encounter with Maeko on the hallways, I forbid her to go out of my room to prevent catastrophe from happening while I was confined in this bed and cannot do anything.

Three days after our marriage and she's still as cold when I first saw her two months after she ran away from me, she must have still reservation for our marriage.

I thought a while ago that she's already softening up towards me. I smugly believed that I can finally have her again in my bed. I glanced wistfully on the mattress. This was the only place that we understood each other very well.

If she didn't just brought it up, the issue of her coming back to Tokyo for a few days I'm sure we were in a different situation now more enjoyable and satisfying in my opinion. So we just settled in watching marathon movies to kill the time.

I heard her sighed visibly as she stared again with me.

"Are we still going to watch this movie or you will just going to have this day dream of yours?"

I grinned at her as I pat the mattress beside me. "Only if you climb in this bed then we will continue to watch this movie, babe. I know that you must be sore right now from sitting on that chair for so long."

"No, thank you." She gave me an arrogant smirked. "I'm perfectly fine here. I don't want any hands travelling in my body while watching the movie."

I stared at her seriously, preventing a smile to form in my lips. Trust my wife to cut the seduction before it even started.

"I promise that I won't do that, babe. My invitation is a no-string-attached one. You can count on it."

"Are you sure?"

I nodded solemnly. My heart soared with happiness when she finally stood from that blasted chair and slowly climb to the bed beside me.

I could almost smell her sweet-scented perfume in the process. Suddenly, I regret my decision to promise her a no-string-attached invitation to lay in this bed with me.

But I have to keep my secret. I need to gain her trust, the trust that she could depend on me, that I could take good care of her and our baby. So whenever my hand itched to touch and seduce her, I would instantly keep myself in check. It's time to show her that I could keep my promise.

Finally, when she's finally settled beside me with only an inch apart. I resumed the movie and we watched in silence.

This was the fourth movie of the James Bond films. I stared outside it's almost twilight, the sky is now covered with orange and purple hue. It was only a matter of time before Akira would fall asleep. She doesn't take an afternoon siesta, after all.

"Are you hungry again?" I asked when I notice that the tray she bought awhile ago was almost empty.

"No," She answered, I could see that her eyelids were now slowly dropping and she wasn't that focus on the movie. "I'm fine."

I hide my smile when I saw that she's already falling asleep. So I remained silent and continued to watch the movie and patiently waited for her to fall asleep in my bed. After a few more moments she's already soundly sleeping beside me.

Stubborn woman, I mused silently as I slowly arranged her position to the bed so she would be more comfortable. Why couldn't she just told me that she's sleepy than torturing herself on the chair for hours?

I silently cursed when my injured hand ache when I tried to pull the cover up from Akira's body. Stupid accident. I lowered the volume of the TV and lay in the bed beside my wife, slowly making sure she doesn't stir. Finally, I sighed with relief. I'm on the same bed with my wife.

I froze when she slightly rose and grumble something which I couldn't understand. My breathed was caught when she suddenly place her hand on my waist hugging me.

I winced when she accidentally touch my bruised body. My goodness, I couldn't complain even if it hurts like hell. I placed my hand securely in her and joined her for a late siesta.

It feels damn good to have her back in my arms. I kissed her forehead slightly before closing my eyes and savor the feeling of Akira in my arms.

Akira Ishikawa's POV

Something has awakened me from my dreamless sleep. What is it? I asked myself silently as my eyes were still closed. The unfamiliar bed? Perhaps, the steady breathing of someone next to me? I honestly don't know what had awakened me.

Then I became aware of the familiar hard contour body of a man beside me. Goodness, half of my body was drape to him! I summoned my heavy eyes to shot to open. The first thing I notice was the dark room. I cussed silently. I slowly removed myself from being tangled with him with a purposed of slipping out of his room.

"Going somewhere?" His familiar voice sounded in the dark room. I mentally winced when I realized that he was awake all this time."

"What time is it?" I asked when I remove my leg that was wrapped to his thighs. I could feel his firm arousal with my legs. "Why didn't you wake me up?"

He moved a little to look at the time on the clock on the bedside table.

"It's quarter past seven, my wife."

I scowled, why did I slept that long?

"You should have woken me up, Kaito. Did you already had your dinner? You should eat on time, you still need to drink your medicine." Why is this room so dark I can't see anything? "Could you please open the some lights here? It's so dark a barely see anything."

I was about to sit up from the bed when he stopped me. "Stay with me here for a moment, Akira. Please?"

I stared at him in darkness with frowned in my face.

"I need to tell the maids to fix your dinner. Look it's already late."

"I'm in pain."

I stopped dead in my direction and stared at him for a moment. My heart gave an odd squeezed at the thought that he's in pain.

"Where does it hurt, Kaito? Do you want me to call for a doctor? No, wait here I will just take a phone call."

He tugged me back from the bed and lay beside him.

"Shhh..just stay here and I will be fine, my wife."

I glared at him, as he managed to wrap his hands around me. "Are playing games with me, Kaito Ishikawa?"

I heard him laughed softly from the dark room. "No, I'm really in pain." He placed my hand on his manhood.

"See?"

Despite the darkness of his room I could feel that my cheeks flamed. This devil was certainly playing games with me.

"T-That has nothing to do with me, you i***t!"

I heard him laughed again and this time he whispered something in my ears that made me shivered his breath felt so hot in my ears.

"Have you forgotten our agreement, Mrs. Ishikawa? One insult. One kiss."

"Do you want me to break your other arm, Kaito?" I threatened him darkly when I realized that the seducer was finally back in his track of seducing me. "Just give me the go signal I will gladly do it."

He remained silent for a moment that I thought he finally heed my warning. Then he spoke again that made me shock.

"Can I request something from you, Akira?"

"What is it?"

"Can you kiss me?" He asked seriously as we lay in his bed intertwine.

I stared at his face in disbelief. He must be joking, I concluded silently. I couldn't decide if he's still playing games with me or he's fully serious with his request.

"Why do you want a kiss, when you can get it from me whenever you want?"

He slowly touched my heated cheeks. "I want a kiss from you. A real kiss that comes from you not the usual one that I must forced myself to you to get one. Would you grant me this small favor, Akira?"

"What do you achieve from that?"

"Happiness," He supplied with laughter in his dark sexy voice. "The knowledge that you're finally kissing me again with your own will after so long."

"After that you will have your dinner then?" I asked thoughtfully when my heart pounded so hard in my chest.

"Yes, I promised."

"All right," I took his face in my hands in the dark room and slowly guided his face towards me to give him the kiss he wanted.

I kissed him slowly like it was my first time to kiss a man in my life. To be honest, I am quite nervous about this. So I kept the pace of the kiss slowly and sweet until I was satisfied that I already fulfilled his request. "There."

"Thank you, my wife."

"Now for your dinner," I jumped off the bed and didn't wait for him to speak again to ask the maids to fix his dinner. As usual, he wants me to have dinner with him in his room. So the maids arrange a table for two in his room as we ate our meal.

Once we're done eating and it's already past eight in the evening. I was about to go in my room to sleep when I heard him. "Wait."

"What now?" I asked a little bit irritated as I look at him.

"Can I ask one small favor for the last time, Akira?" He asked from the bed, looking at me intently.

I tucked my hands in the middle of my chest. I sighed as I look at him questioningly.

"What is it?"

I could see that he swallowed hard. "Can you sleep with me tonight? I promise you no-string-attached just sleep beside me, that's all." When I look at him skeptically he added. "You--If I touch you the wrong way you can always go to your room."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes," He answered with a smile in his eyes when started to climb in his bed again. "I promise you, Akira."

"All right, fine." I said with sigh as I took my side of the bed. "Keep your promise, Kaito. Or you will suffer two broken arms tomorrow morning I assure you."

"Good night, wife." He said cheerfully as he turned off the lampshade, the room went dark again. I faced the other direction of the bed away from him as I closed my eyes thinking this is going to be the longest night of my life.
