Blindfolded Marriage

Dinner and movie

Maxwell POV

When I walk back to the kitchen two plates are already served on the table. She just put a bottle of red wine on the table but in her glass is just water. She just sits down on her chair and I can watch her from behind. I wonder why she is so nice to me. Her curvy a*s just look fine in that jeans.

"So what is the occasion for this dinner?"-I ask her while I walk to my chair opposite to her.

"Nothing special. I just love to cook and I thought you might want to try it."-She lifts her glass and drinks it. The food looks amazing and the smell too, this close to my nose. Omg, she might poison my food. This might be a trap so she and William can be together if I am out of the picture. I have to be careful or leave my will to my lawyer now. I pour some wine into my glass and take a sip. I might need some alcohol to survive tonight.

"You're like a real wife, Isabella. Cook and wait for your husband with a meal. That is so lovely. You're smart, hot, confident, and independent. I wonder what else you have under your sleeves."-I raise my eyebrow at her and smile too.

"Well thank you for the compliment. You will never know what else I can do. Now eat before it gets cold."-She smirks at me and after pointing to the plate. We both have a steak with steamed veggies and mashed potatoes. I cut a little from my steak and it's the way I like it. Medium roasted and with extra garlic on it. The meat is so soft and juicy at the same time and it falls apart so easily in my mouth. I never tasted this kind of steak before but I indeed like it. The veggies have more peppers on it but not much. The potatoes are so creamy and just melt in my mouth and beg to taste it a bit more. I rinse the food with a little wine and soon everything is inside my belly. I feel so full and I can get used to this treatment. I pat my flat belly with my six-pack. Women used to like it and like to touch it.

"That was delicious. Thank you so much, Isabella."-I tell her after I wipe my mouth with a napkin. She finishes her food too and looks at me with her intense gaze.

"You are welcome. I should clean up and get ready to sleep."-She stands up and collects the dirty dishes. When she reaches for mine I catch her wrist.

"I will help you. What do you say after watching a movie with me?"-I look at her and never look away from her. She gulps and hesitates before answering.

"Sure but I have to study while watching it."-I just nod and help her. She cleans the dishes and I dry them with a cloth and put it into the dryer. I know we have a dishwasher but it feels good to work together. She collects one of her books and pencil. I head to the tv room and she follows me because I hear her heels click on the floor. I sit on the big couch and open it so I have a footrest now. She does the same on the other side of the couch. I turn on the tv and I see from the side every movement she makes. She pulls down the zipper of her high boots. It feels like she does it in slow motion and teases me but I don't think she realizes that I watch her. She pulls her legs under her and focuses on her book.

"What do you want to watch? Action, romance, sci-fi, or horror?"-I ask her so I might know about her, not just what the papers say about her.

"I love all of them. I am not a picky one. You can decide and I will watch it."-She honestly answers and she sits back on the couch. She opens her book and starts to read again. She is twisting a string of her hair around her finger. Is she nervous to be this close to me? She looks cute but also focuses on her book. I look for some scary one that makes her scream. Let's see how brave she is. I press the play button and The nun movie begins. I sit back and find my comfy position. I put my hand on the top of the couch. Even the first couple minutes she whines and crawls closer on the couch. She tries to hold back herself and not show that she is scared. A little smirk shows on my face because I feel I win a little. When a scary part comes again she hides even behind her book or looks at the side of my face. She does not scream or do anything annoying like other women. My heart beats rapidly when she just arms reach from me. I am getting nervous but I never get nervous around women. Only women get nervous around me mostly when they recognize who I am. She licks her lips and I remember when I kissed her soft and sweet lips in the car. The feeling is still inside me and I hope that I can taste it again. I put my hand on her shoulder just when a scary part comes in the movie. She immediately jumps and almost sits in my lap. She raises her head and our face is just a couple of inches away from each other. My heartbeat speeds up and it feels like my heart will fall out from my chest. Our breath becomes heavy and my hand is still on her shoulder. Her deep green eyes shoot lightning to my dark browns. What if I lean closer? Is she biting me again as she did before? I slowly lean closer and in her eyes, I can immediately see the confusion and fire which ignites. I haul away before she hurts me again. A smug smile shows on her face because I pull back. I sit back and continue watching the movie while I can hear a little laugh from my side. She thinks that is funny but I don't think so. Soon the movie ends and we say our goodnights and head to our own room. I take a quick shower across her room but when I walk out I hear her moans.
