My Bride from Another World

Chapter 13: Butterflies can also swim.

Just a few hours ago, I was cursing him, and now I’m lost in his mere closeness.

We stood just like that; I was staring at the wooden door in front of me like it was the most interesting item in the whole world. Dare I say we were rather in an intimate position.

I could feel his breath around my neck; he was so close to me. His lips were just next to my ears, making it difficult for me to breathe. And my heart, the usual! * THUD THUD THUD... *

"Where do you think you are going?" I suck in a harsh breath when I felt his lips moving near my ear, he moved closer, pressing his lips closer to my earlobes. The way he whispered those words was so sexy and sensual.

His voice wasn't normal, it was deep and husky. Something that surprised me. Ever so slowly, sensually and gently his manly hand snaked on either side of my waist causing me to close my eyes and sighed.

I tilted my head back on his shoulder. My back was pressed to his front and I could feel the warmth from his body radiate. Slowly he turned my body towards him, my eyes made direct contact with his and I gasped. At his addictive emerald green eyes that were of darker shade right now. His eyes held so much intensity that I had seen before, I felt as if I was drowning in his eyes.

His hot breath was now fanning on my face just like mine was fanning on his, mixing our breaths match concurrently. The silence and concentrated air around us held extreme tension. Extreme s****l tension! I gasped thinking about that.

Breaking our eye contact immediately I looked down at my feet...What's wrong with me? What the hell am I thinking? But, it was there, at least for me. I couldn't deny it, the feeling was overwhelming.

It was desire... A desire for what exactly?! Desire to be-...I immediately brush the thought off my mind as I felt blood rushing to my cheeks and I instantly knew that I looked like a red tomato.

I look up into his eyes; his face was so close to mine. His nose was practically touching mine. All of a sudden, he moved his face even more closer, and his lips found their way to my ears again, he asked, "Am I making you nervous?"

I gulped and instinctively reach for my ear to brush off the tickly sensation. Now his lips were pressed against the back of my hand, he clamps my hand firmly in his and to my great astonishment, he intertwined our fingers linking them closely together.

His other hand circled around my waist bringing me closer to him, in his arms and I collided with his chest. "Answer my question, Catina." He muttered and a loud gasp escaped from me.

I stood there immobilized; he called me by my name. My heart was throbbing now against the ribcage of my chest and my mind was just blank. I couldn't think straight. He called me Catina! Oh My God, he really did call me CATINA... My heart was beating with happiness inside; this is the first time he called me Catina.

He has been addressing me as Miss Ellison or Ellison rudely until now. The thought caused a smile to appear on my face. I couldn't believe it, he said Catina and here he is asking if he makes me nervous, of course, he does make me nervous. The butterflies were there, now swimming in my stomach.

Butterflies can also swim?! Don't begin with it now! Nervous. Right now, it was much more than nervousness. The closeness, his intensity, it was much much more than this. His arm squeezed my waist and I closed my eyes at that feeling.

The feeling of his rough warm hand. "No, I-I... n- ye- yes, yes you d-do make me nervous," I said breathlessly while stuttering terribly. And then, I heard a sound. Strange yet enticing sound it was something that I or anyone has never heard before, I'm sure of that. What was that, did he just? Twinkling start, did I heard him chuckle?

Dear Lord, did he really chuckle... Kronos who doesn't know the meaning of smiling has just chuckled, and that too with me! What is happening today?

"I do." He whispered against my earlobe in a sexy and erotic voice causing me to shiver. I closed my eyes once again and sigh dreamily.

How many times more will I close my eyes? I snuggled against him, placing my head on his chest; I withdrew my hand from him and circled it around his neck.

Surprisingly, he brought his right hand on my waist joining the other one. Then he placed his chin on top of my head. I listened to his heartbeat, it was rapid yet calm, a soothing sound! I inhaled deeply in his masculine scent.

“Did you use rose in your bath today?” he whispered in his deep manly sound.

He has an amazing sense of smell.

I nodded and answered,” Yes, maid placed rose petals in my bathwater.”

“Good. It smells wonderful,” he said as he inhaled.
