The Billionaire's Genius Wife

Scarlett was shocked.

"H-How long did you stay there?" She said as she tightened her bathrobe, not wanting this man to see the useless sexy lingerie covering her body.

Xander was relieved after seeing Scarlett open the bathroom door, and she seemed fine. He took her hand and led her to the sofa.

They sat beside each other, and Scarlett's hand was still in Xander's. Since earlier, Xander's eyes had not left her face. There was a trace of worry clearly visible in his eyes.

"X-Xander... Why are you looking at me like that?" Scarlett felt worried seeing this man staring at her without saying a word.

He still didn't say a word, but his warm eyes stared intently into her face before giving her a light kiss right on the lips.

Scarlett gasped in surprise but didn't say anything. She just smiled after Xander's face moved away from her. For a moment, they just stared at each other, smiling.

Feeling better after kissing her on the lips, Xander finally expressed his worries.

"Babe, I'm afraid you'll fall asleep there. You took a bath for almost an hour! What are you doing there?" He asked while smoothing her hair and tugging behind her ear.

"Is it that long?" Scarlett was surprised to hear that. She glanced at the digital clock by the bedside and was stunned.

Indeed she was in the bathroom for almost an hour!

"Hmm! I thought you fell asleep in there!  That's why I was on guard at the door and ready to break the door if you didn't come out any minute!"

Scarlett, "..."

"Well, next time, don't ever lock the bathroom door again, okay!?" He smiled at her when he saw her eyes widen in shock — she looked adorable.

"W-Why didn't you call me?"

"I do! But you seem so engrossed in your bath you don't answer."

Scarlett felt embarrassed because earlier in the bathroom, she was too busy imagining what this man would do to her. Her mind must be so preoccupied that she didn't hear Xander's calling.

How sad! She feels like a teenager experiencing romance for the first time!?

'Stupid Scarlett!! You are 23 years old! You're a grown woman. You shouldn't be embarrassed by something like this!! Especially, this man is your legal husband!!' She scolded herself inwardly, trying to act more maturely.

After she took a few deep breaths, she slowly lifted her head to look at him, "Sorry, Xander. I will listen to you! Next time I will not lock the door..." She smiled.

"As always, you are magnificent today, babe..." He said while rubbing the tip of her nose tenderly.

She didn't know how to reach it but felt that Xander's simple touch could weaken her knees, and her heart beat faster.

"Let's drink some wine before bed!" Xander stood up from his seat and left the room.

She felt her entire body turn into slime. She felt weak.

'Oh, my god!! Why does he look so hot in his black pajamas?' Scarlett giggled in embarrassment at what was on her mind.

But suddenly, her expression changed.  Shocked!

'Wait! Wait... Wine? Xander wants to give me some wine?' Scarlett couldn't believe what she was hearing.

As she remembered, Xander had said; never drink wine again!

'But now? That man wanted to give me wine?'

Scarlett narrowed her eyes to the door, waiting for Xander to appear behind it. And not long after, he entered the room and brought a bottle of wine and two glasses.

"Aren't you not letting me drink wine?" asked Scarlett as soon as Xander returned to sit beside her.

Xander didn't rush to answer her but put the wine bottle and glass on the table. Then he looked at her, "Babe, why are you still in this bathrobe? Didn't they pack your pajamas?" he asked, ignoring her question.

Instantly Scarlett's body froze.

Her rosy white cheeks and twinkling eyes stared unhesitatingly into Xander's flawless face.

"T-They did! But I think they made a mistake. They...just..."

"What!? What happened?" Xander looked impatient to hear her explanation. He felt like scolding her maid, who made a mistake packing her clothes.

Scarlett took a deep breath before deciding to act more mature in front of Xander, unlike a teenager less experienced in romance.

'Damn it, Scarlett! It would help if you had a boyfriend in your teens. That way, you don't have to be like this in front of your husband!!' For the last time, she scolded herself.

And then, she loosened her bathrobe. And it slowly fell from her shoulder. Her delicate collar bones were seen, and her sexy lingerie that was in no way to cover her skin was now exposed.

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom Xander gasped in surprise.

"How can I use this? I'm going to catch a cold tomorrow morning!!" Scarlett said, slowly lifting her bathrobe to cover herself, but Xander's hand stopped her before she could do so.

"X-Xander..." Scarlett was surprised to see that his eyes looked different from before.

Xander's eyes became unusually gentle, but that gentleness seemed to be a sizzling emotion.

He pulled Scarlett into his arms, and without giving her a chance to utter any words, he lowered his head and covered her soft lips. His tongue entered her mouth as he kissed and sucked on it while his hand gently held the back of her head.

Scarlett widened her eyes, and her breathing almost stopped, yet she did not stop him. Her small hands that were in her lap slowly lifted as she wrapped them around Xander's neck.

Her mind was blank. But she told herself to follow Xander's lead and enjoy his domineering tongue dancing with hers. And Scarlett let him lead until she felt her breath short and couldn't take it anymore. Before she could stop him, she felt Xander's lips part from hers.

But his face was still close to her as their foreheads touched. She can feel his fresh breath tickling her face as he breathes.

She lowered her vision, avoiding his brilliant blue eyes. She was so shy.
