       "Just for show," He withdrew his hand. 

       I let out a long sigh. My lips parted when he placed his forehead against mine as he looked deep into my eyes and sighed, “You know your effect on me. I’ve never wanted anything as badly as I want you. I couldn't stop myself. I wanted to punish you, I wanted to make you mine. You're mine physically, but your soul, you're struggling, pushing me away." 

        All I could do was breathe in and out and gazed back in his eyes, full of desire, determination. He grabbed my chin and made me look at him. He held my hand in second and placed it over his beating heart. 

       "I never felt this little devil running. You are making me feel things, stubborn when it's about you and I felt confident. I never thought I was lacking." he smirked. I gasped, 

        My heart was beating loudly in my chest. I didn't know what to say. I kept looking at him with my jaw dropped. I wanted to run away and just breathe. I forced back the urge to run away from my comfort zone, the pull was irresistible. But I needed time to feel my emotions! More importantly, to understand him. What was he feeling? Lust or something deep inside his head. I couldn't accuse him of saying that he wanted my body. He just held me at night until I slept and when I woke up, I found him holding me to his chest as I was the most precious thing in his life.   

        I forced myself to ignore the butterflies that had started to flutter across my stomach after his touch, "Edward, I'm sorry." I was thanked above whoever helped me to speak. It was getting too much. 

       I looked up through my eyelashes at him but I couldn’t get a read on his thoughts, it made things more difficult for me to understand him, his eyes gave nothing away. 

       Nothing felt so important with him around me. I had to redirect the conversation elsewhere. 

       "Just this?" I asked. 

       "Wasn't this information enough? I didn't try to know about you. Though, I know." He said, withdrawing his hand, but he did not let it go out of his grip. 

        After hearing, my patience was wearing off, "So you know." he cut me off. 

        "From day one!" He muttered answering my unasked question. 

       I scowled at him, "And you were certain I won't walk away." I snapped. 

      His gaze narrowed at me, "Don't even go there, hon. That wasn't in my mind." He said politely. 

       I believed him immediately. As I said, he didn't need to know a lot of other things. 

       "I can't..." I held my tongue. I wasn't going today when I wasn't sure. I didn't want to hurt him, "Edward,"

       "We did what we thought was right at that moment. So let's have a new start, Sienna." He said, looking deep in my eyes, demanding my full attention. 

       "But we're not getting there together." I said. 

       "There?" He smirked, arching his brow. 

       "Bed," I thinned my lips. 

       He gave me a comfortable smile and nodded. He kissed my head. I relaxed, "You are. My wife. You're not going anywhere. I'm not going anywhere. I can wait."

       My heart did a little leap at his words. He was really working his way under my skin and I hadn’t even noticed it happening. How could he talk so easily, when I was challenging him. Everything made me feel warm inside. I smiled at his unexpected thoughtfulness. My smile broadened his smile. 

       I clamped my mouth shut from asking him... Does he have feelings for me? It would ruin everything. I wouldn't get the treatment I was getting from him. Which I wasn't bothered about. I was scared revealing my feelings would push him away. Yes, I was judging him from our first ten days of the wedding. He got what he wanted. He was sweet but dangerous at the sweet moment.

       His phone buzzed. He took it out and stared at the display. He leaned in and kissed my cheek, "See you tonight," 

      I blushed and nodded.
