THE UNLOVED WIFE

42.THAT LOOK

42. That Look

Amir's POV

Each day with my wife is a gift from Allah. I treasure every minute with her. However, a part of me tells me that I should get scared. That she's just putting up a show. That sooner or later, she will get even with me. She will leave me. Because isn't what I did to her? I am scared down to my gut that she's going to wake up one day and tell me that she is not in love with me anymore.

"You're having that look again," she called out to me.

"What look?" I said to her while I hit the ping pong with my racket.

The small ball fell and my wife scores another point.

"Lame! What a shame! 25 against 12. I win Hon!" she teased, showing her tongue out at me.

"Come on, race to 50. Another round," I told her.

She shook her head.

"Let's just take a shower and go shopping," she suggested, a wide grin on her face.

Distractions. Is that what she wanted? It's been three weeks since the lock down and right now we're in Waterfall Resort, a nine - hour drive from home. We decided to stay here for a month before heading out to another country for our next vacation. But throughout these weeks, it's as if Zai just wants distractions. Yes we do take our bath at the waterfalls and even went diving. But something does not seem right. It's as if there's something she does not want to think about.

"Hmmm, I am pretty sure you wouldn't want to leave our room after I shower with you," I said to her, slowly making my way towards her.

At that, she instantly blushed. I placed both our rackets on the ping pong table and encircle both my arms around her waist and pulling her close to me.

"Why'd you show your tongue out to me Mrs. Luqman?" I asked while staring right into her brown eyes.

"Well, you were no competition. You came in to easy. You're no fun," she argued.

I could see the hint of playfulness on her smile and I took that as a cue to do my moves.

"Easy huh?" I remarked.

My lips traveled to her left ear and my mouth nibble them very very slowly. She gasped as my hand rubbed on her back. Then my lips gave small kisses to her jawline, to her neck. She still smells so fragrant even after she sweat.

"Hon, I'm.... sweaty..." she said, with her shy tone.

"Hot. You're one hot sizzling wife of mine," my husky voice said.

Until I could no longer take it, I spun her around and positioned her sitting on the ping pong table. I ravaged her mouth, invading every corner of it, kissing her ever so passionately as my entire body was in full heat. I was close to undressing her but she stopped me.

"Stop," she said huskily.

I ignored her and started undressing her as I kissed her full in the mouth. We were alone in the room. I rented this house and privacy was ours. I am in love with this woman, so nuts, crazy in love. And I cannot help myself. I am going to make love with her right here, right now.

As I lay her down on the table, both of us naked. I decided to tease her even more.

"So are we still going shopping?" I uttered, my hungry eyes reading her lustful ones.

She only shook her head and with that, I entered her.
