She's Using Her Jealous Voice

A smile slowly spread across his face.

So this was what her jealous voice sounded like.

A little shrill, no longer sweet as honey, with a little hard-to-detect quiver..

Somehow, it pleased him.

'Yes, I went to see her," he said deliberately. "You really chose a bad time to run away, you know. I was just about to spend some sweet alone time with Kayleigh, but Damian called me. Tsk.' Kira sat up abruptly in bed.

She wanted to take a bite out of the unfaithful bastard, but she knew his rock-hard muscles would only hurt her teeth.

So she sprang up and sat on him, using her weight to crush the man who not only cheated, but was now gleefully rubbing her nose in it.

She so wished she had the strength of She-Hulk so she could beat the adulterous man to a pulp.

He'd punished her in bed for almost an hour.

Wasn't she enough for him?

Why must he go to Kayleigh's place?

He said he promised his friend to take care of Kayleigh, but did that mean taking her to bed? Kira gnashed her teeth.

y was he

Why was he trying to hurt her?

As she seethed, Kira suddenly recalled another night two months ago.

It was raining, just like tonight.

They'd just had sex.

He got a call from Kayleigh and left straight away.

Kira had felt relieved

She didn't ask him to stay, nor did she fly into a rage.

Instead, she saw him off with a smile on her face and reminded him to drive carefully.

She was glad to have the big bedroom all to herself.

She even hoped he wouldn't come back that night.

But now...

The Cowgirl Position

Confusion crept into her eyes.

Why did she have such a strong reaction when he mentioned Kayleigh?

It was not as if he hadn't done this before.

Kira a should have gotten used to it.

What changed?

Since when did she start thinking of Austyn as "her man?"

Wasn't he her employer?

Austyn narrowed his eyes at the woman sitting on him, looking pensive. 'Get down."

His voice shook Kira out of her trance. "No."

"Are you sure?

'I'm not coming d-ah!!

The headboard spun before her eyes.

Their positions were reversed in less than a second..

Austyn dragged her off him, rolled and pinned her to the sheets, trapping her between his arms.

He stared into her eyes 'Do you know what they call it when a woman sits on top of a man?"

After that quickie in the hospital bathroom, Austyn had furthered his sex education. Privately, of course.

He'd read the Kama Sutra, the illustrated version

He knew this was called the cowgirl position, something they had yet to try.

Maybe tonight...

Kira tried to shove him off. 'You are so heavy. Get up"

Austyn didn't budge.

He nipped her earlobe.

"Hey!

'This is Damian's place. I'll let you off the hook this time Austyn rolled off her.

It took Kira a while to figure out what he meant.

He was lying beside her, breathing heavily.

And there was something hard poking at her thighs just now

Kira's face turned beet red.

Why was the man always thinking about sex?

She scooted away from him and almost fell out of bed.

"I didn't go to Kayleigh's place,' Austyn said when a certain part of his anatomy no longer saluted the flag. 'I went to Luca's house'

""What?' Kira whirled around.

'You heard me

'R...really?

'Yes, really. You can call Luca to verify.'

Kira's hand went to her chest.

Her heart was beating wildly.

He didn't go to Kayleigh's house.

Why did that make her want to turn up the corners of her mouth?

""Happy now?

Kira looked away.

"Whatever. I don't care.'

"You don't?' Austyn turned to lie on his side, his head propped up with an elbow.

His eyes twinkled with amusement. 'So why did you chase after my car in bare feet, hmm? And don't think I didn't see that smile on your face just now.'

Kira didn't know how to answer that.

Yes, she was happy when he said he didn't meet up with Kayleigh.

But she wasn't supposed to feel happy.

She wasn't supposed to feel anything, in fact.

What was wrong with her?

She knew what she was getting into when she agreed to be his wife.

It was a

transaction

She would play the role of Mrs McCarthy in exchange for having her father's medical bills taken care of

Austyn McCarthy was not a man she could afford to love

Their stations in life were ill-matched.

But recently, she seemed to have lost control of her feelings.

She was mad when he wouldn't believe her, sad when he left the house, and elated when he said he didn't meet Kayleigh.

Why would she care so much if she didn't love him?

Maybe it wasn't love

It was just a force of habit, Kira told herself, ignoring the voice in her heart.

She was used to his presence in her life, used to having his warmth next to her in bed, used to waking up with his arms wrapped

her..

It was like having a favourite brand of ice cream.

If she went to the store and found that the brand was no longer there, she would be upset, right?

It didn't mean she loved the ice cream.

She was just used to it.

But she could survive without ice cream, just like she could survive without Austyn in her life.

Kira closed her eyes.

She had overreacted; she shouldn't be feeling jealous.

When Austyn didn't get an answer out of her, he thought she'd gone quiet out of bashfulness.

d for him.

It must be hard for her to admit her feelings for him out loud, just like it was hard

So he decided not to push her this time.

One of these days, though...

around

"They call it astraphobia, Kira said when Austyn almost drifted off. 'Fear of thunder and lightning. I know it's irrational, but I just can't help it.'
