Ask me if you dare I didn’t mishear him, right? He was going to take responsibility for making me fall in love with him. But what kind of responsibility would it be? I knew that I was the one who asked for it, but I had never thought about what this responsibility should be like. Was he going to turn our contractual marriage into a permanent one, even if he didn’t love me? No one can force a heart to love, but what if he’d already had feelings for me and kept denying them? My feverish thoughts quickly dissolved in the shower of his kisses, which I returned with equal passion. I wasn’t sure what kind of new terms I had just agreed on, but if he was ready to take a risk and walk into the unknown, then so was I.

I couldn’t tell when I found myself lying on the mat with him on top of me. I bit my lip, watching him take his shirt off, and reveal those rigid chest and stomach muscles carved into perfection. Yet a shudder spread across my body as his hand slid down my sweated skin. I grabbed my hand with an audible gasp.

“I…. smell…” I muttered, blushing in embarrassment.

He chuckled and leaned down to bite my earlobe. “So am I, and yet, it is only your body that you find uncomfortable, not mine.”

My hands reached to comb his damp, black hair. “Because you are perfect no matter what,” I mumbled, as his searing gaze ran down my body.

He looked at me with a frown and leaned over me, his hand sliding to my back to find a little zipper on my top. Two seconds later, he grabbed the rim of the top and took it off of me along with my sports bra. “I’m looking at perfection,” he said before lowering himself to draw circles with his tongue around one nipple while caressing the other one of my breasts with his hand.

“What if someone sees us?” I asked breathlessly, resisting a moan.

He smirked at me. “Only you and I can enter this gym.” My hands went straight to his shoulders, pushing him away to look into his eyes. “What do you mean?”

“The door handle recognizes fingerprints. Today I added yours to the system,” he said, grinning mischievously. I frowned. “Where did you get my fingerprints?” He leaned down, laughing, before leaving a trail of little kisses down my neck. “Beautiful, your whole body has been scanned for medical and security reasons at least a few times by now,” he breathed against my skin.

“I doubt that I will be even able to get up from bed tomorrow.” He smirked. “Well, then I will just have to carry my wife to work.” I wanted to smack his arm, but as I stretched I felt the sting of my sore muscles.
