Chapter 56: The Kiss

Marcella took a peek at the kitchen. There was no sign of anybody.

"Someone’s cooking meatloaf..." She mumbled. Her stomach growled.

Stretching herself, she went to the bathroom. The door was unlocked. The light was on. Rosy must have used the bathroom and forgotten to turn off the lights.

Scratching the back of her head, she yawned as she opened the door. Through her blurry eyes, she could see a figure standing in front of the mirror.

A very hairy, possibly naked figure of a man.

"Ahhh!!!!" she screamed and tried to get something to defend herself. Unable to find anything, she started to pound that man with her fists.

"It’s me, Marcella. Stop screaming," Tony held her wrists.

"Oh," Marcella took a step back.

Why is Tony hairy? He used to have no visible hair.

Marcella was awed. There was a bunch of hair on his shoulders and on his chest.

"Geez! You’ve gained some strength. Your hits hurt," Tony said casually and walked to the mirror again.

She was looking at her face but was distracted by something swaying down below. Her eyes naturally go drawn there.

Wow! That’s...

"Looked enough?" Tony asked.

"Uh?" Marcella averted her eyes to focus on his face. Her throat went dry and she rubbed her neck as it felt hot.

"All yours..." Tony winked.

All mine... all of THAT is mine? Isn’t that a lot?

"Who cares," Marcella scoffed clutching her nightgown. Her heart was pounding to the moon but she didn’t want to show it on her face. "Why are you standing naked in front of the mirror?" she asked. "And why do you have this much hair?"

"Why?" Tony laughed. He turned to face her. It was obvious that he was enjoying her awkwardness.

"Because I’m a man. Still having doubt?" he shook his hips. "See for yourself."

She would have left but she didn’t want to be defeated by him. Each time, she’s the one running away. He’s standing there like a tree; a shameless one.

Isn’t he even a little bit ashamed to stand bare-naked in front of me?

"You look like a bear...," She took a leisurely glance over him again.

All the hair on him... She wondered what it would feel like to rub herself on him. How would his hair feel on her?

Her eyes stopped at his abdomen. He was built like an Adonis. Isn’t he just a politician? Why is he built like a Hollywood star?

"...like James Bond..."

"Watched many Bond movies, huh?" Tony asked.

"A couple," she said.

Aiden was a fan. He brought her to the movies for the action, she liked those movies for the hot actor.

Their eyes met. Tony was not even trying to cover himself. She tried to appear unaffected but perspiration formed on her forehead as she felt hot.

"You look...uncomfortable," he said sizing her up.

He looked like he was eating her up with his eyes.

"I have to pee," she said unconsciously covering her chest.

No man has ever seen her in her nightwear except for her father. Tony might have but she was not conscious about it. She’s slept on the same bed as him before. She had covered her up and didn’t think about it.

This probably is the first time he would see her in her nightwear. It made her feel conscious.

"Be my guest," Tony said and walked back to the mirror.

He was fisting his hands and walking funny. Marcella saw his back and it was hairy too. And...

What is that scar? There are quite a few on his back.

Without knowing, she had reached out her hand to touch his scar.

Tony whipped back and held her hand.

"The scars..." she wetted her lips. "How did you~"

Before she finished her sentence, Tony pulled her toward him. Wrapping his hand around her waist, he lifted her up and his lips crashed on hers.

Marcella was stunned by the sudden softness on her lips. Followed by that, she felt the hard wall behind her back as he nibbled on her lips.

He left her lips for a moment. He exhaled on her face making her senses go awry.

"Ton~"

She tried to speak but he covered her lips with his once more. What followed was marvelous. It was not like she never kissed a man before.

But kissing Tony was different. And this kiss was very different from the kiss they shared on their wedding day.

She thought she knew what a sky was. But Tony... Tony carried her in his strong eagle wings and showed her the sky as she’d never seen before. On his wings, she soared high above the sky.

She dug her fingernails into his shoulder as his tongue slipped inside her mouth. His big hand proceeded to slip up her thigh. Something hard and warm poked her.

She held her breath.

No, she was not ready for that.

Tony leaned back. Some of her hair was sticking to her cheeks. He gently grazed his fingertips over her forehead. His eyes were misty and she couldn’t shake off her eye contact. He looked so gentle and sexy at the same time.

He leaned into her face and she turned. His lips grazed her cheek and he sniffed her. Peppering short kisses on her cheek, he reached her neck.

She slipped her fingers into his hair.

*Beep* *Beep* *Beep*

The alarm rang. The loud alarm disturbed the baby and he started to cry.

"Meatloaf!" Tony shouted and gently let her down. Grabbing a towel, he ran out of the bathroom.

Marcella ran behind him to get the baby. Picking up the baby, she shushed him. After walking to and fro inside the room for some time, the baby fell back asleep.

She gently placed the baby on the bed. Staring at the door, she found her heart pounding. She wanted to go out but at the same time, she couldn’t.

She felt like her heart would burst open.

What was that kiss about? That came out of nowhere!
