His Beautiful Addiction

The ride back home was quiet; Diana was feeling cold as a result of the ocean water so Michael put on the heater.

When they reached her house, he held her door open for her.

''Thank you for today, I've not had so much fun in a long while; '' Diana said with a smile as she stepped out of the car.

''I'm glad you are happy. '' He said staring blazingly into her eyes, Diana could not help but look away.

''Alright, goodnight; call me when you get home. ''

She said, but still stood on the spot, and she wasn't the only one hesitating to move.

Finally, Michael replied; ''sweet dreams. ''

Diana nodded and turned towards the house, just that moment, Michael saw the two guards ahead and his eyes widened;

''Diana, wait!'' Diana was surprised when she saw him walk to her; he took out his coat and draped it over her body.

''Wear this; '' her brows creased;

''why? ''

Michael leaned towards her ear and whispered;

''you're all wet and your breasts are visible, I don't want those men staring. '' Diana's eyes widened so much that it nearly popped from her sockets; her eyes flashed to her chest immediately and she quickly covered them with her hands;

''Why are you telling me now! ''she didn't even know whether to be annoyed or flustered, but what she was sure was that her cheeks were bright red;

Michael grinned as he walked towards his car;

''Because I liked what I saw, but I don't want them staring too; goodnight; '' without waiting for her response, he entered the car and zoomed off.

Diana stood flustered as she watched him drive off.

Her hands held the edges of the coat and she gripped it, she didn't realize that she was smiling until her chin ached.

When she got inside, she tried to resist the urge to smell the coat but finally she gave in;

Drr! It was not like he was watching her.

He didn't smell like all those men with strong cologne, hugging him felt nice, he had strong arms, and a chiseled body…

Diana was lost in thoughts as she hugged the coat when suddenly her phone rang on the bed, sending her heart almost jumping out of its ribs'

Diana rubbed her chest, calming her heart as she took deep breaths and answered the call, it was Michael;

''Hey, are you home yet? ''

''Nah, I'm still on the way, I just wanted to make sure you got inside safely. ''

Diana laughed; ''Of course, what could possibly happen. Thanks again for today, I didn't realize how stressed out I had been.''

''I was happy too, thank you. ''

There was silence on both sides, each of them listening to their breaths.

''What are you going to have for dinner? ''

''I'm not hungry, but I'll check my fridge for something light, what about you? ''

''I don't know, I just got home now. ''

Diana smiled as she listened to him drive into his garage and turn off the engine;

''Here's so damn quiet, everyone must be asleep. '' Michael whispered as he walked into the house. Diana liked how he spoke to her through the way; it made her feel as though she was part of his life.

''Caesar must be so happy to see you, '' she said remembering his dog.

''yeah, but he should be sleeping now… or not; he added when he saw Caesar running towards him from the other side of the hall;

The dog jumped on him and Michael ran his hand through his fur and led him back to his room, putting him back to sleep.

When he came out, the house help greeted happily. She was glad that he was back and safe.

Diana listened to him open another door;

''where are you? '' she asked;

''I just entered my room; '' she nodded as the call became quiet; after a few seconds she asked;

''what are you doing now? ''

''I'm taking off my clothes; ''

Diana's cheeks flushed red as her brain started imagining a thousand naked pictures of him;

How would he say something like that so brazenly!

''Um, I'll be going then, I need to wash off the sea water from my body, goodnight. ''

Michael laughed silently when he heard her reply; from her tone he knew she was blushing hard.

''Alright, sleep tight. ''

…

''what are you doing? '' Tiana asked when she saw Nicklaus by the window side as she woke up from sleep;

''I'm drawing; ''

''What? '' she was naked on the bed, with numerous bite marks from last night and her hair was thoroughly disheveled.

Nicklaus' eyes fell on her body and he pulled it away slowly; ''you; ''

''Pft; '' Tiana laughed; ''how can you keep sketching me every day?''

She stood up from the bed and she picked up her cotton nightie that was kicked off the bed the night before, and wore it;

Walking to him, her eyes fell on the picture and she smiled; he was sketching them sleeping together;

''aish, why do you look prettier than me here? '' Tiana pouted, he was incredibly handsome on the picture and looked like an idol as he slept, well that was how he looked real life.

''do i? If I'm prettier than you, then I should model start modeling for vogue, don't you think? ''

Tiana slapped his chest lightly; ''you're not that handsome, I was just saying!''

Seeing that he was feeling himself, she decided to hurt his ego;

''My heart; hearing that from you hurts; '' Nicklaus held his chest as though he was really in hurt.

''So don't go around modeling for any company, you're not that handsome, you're just handsome enough for me.''

Nicklaus laughed and grabbed her waists, making her sit on his laps;

''Wifey, do you know you're very jealous? ''

He said, biting her earlobe;

''I'm not, I was just stating the facts! '' 

Nicklaus chuckled and kissed her chin; ''we're getting our rings today. ''

Tiana smiled when she remembered they were getting their wedding rings that day. She was so happy. It's been two weeks since Douglas' funeral and everyone was already going on with their lives. They already fixed the date for the wedding but they didn't want to announce their wedding date yet to avoid unnecessary media attention.

''After our wedding, you're mine forever. ''

Tiana laughed; ''I'm already yours forever. ''
