Darling, only I can be your man

chapter 36

Michael spun her back to him and captured her lips in an aggressive kiss and only let her go when

they were both breathless.

She looked up at him with misty eyes. She couldn’t believe that this tyrant has captured her own

heart and made it his in just few weeks. From ever since they met two years ago, she felt an

undeniable connection to him.

Michael looked at her with love and adoration, as if he wanted to attach her to his body for eternity.

He held her in his arms staring at her misty eyes. He felt his heart clenched to know that he had

hurt her when he should be protecting her. It was unintentionally done but it still affected her. This

woman actually care about him but she will not admit it because of pride.

“Ari baby?” Michael called her softly and kissed her unshed tears. “There is a lot of things going on

right now. Not just now but for years. I wish I could fill you in at this moment but I can’t.”

“But why?” Ariana curiosity piqued at this moment. “Does it have anything to with your wound two

years ago?”

There was a hint of sadness, hurt and anger that evaded his eyes for a moment all at once.

“It does but it goes far beyond that.” Ariana snuggled up closer to his body and gave him a hug.

Michael hugged her back.

“Michael, I am sorry.” Ariana really felt bad about what happen. She never asked him about it since

they met again. She figured he might not want to talk about it.

“I am man. I don’t have time for self-pity and as my woman, I want you to be strong too. Can you

do that for me?” he held her chin and forced her to look into his eyes.

She slowly nodded.

“Good. As I was saying before, this are just a bit complicated and I know that lack of knowledge

leads to misunderstandings but I want you to trust me and trust what we have.” As he remembered

their previous argument in the master bedroom, he bit her bottom lip in anger until he taste her blood in

his mouth.

Ariana wince in pain and pulled away, “Imagine that I am already injured and here you are taking

advantage of an injured soldier.”

Michael couldn’t help but chuckled, “Since you are a soldier you should be able to handle anything.

Who told you to go out?”

Ariana was now vexed, “Am I not allowed to go out anymore. I didn’t know you wanted a

prisoner?”

“In my defense, you deserve it because you only know how to go against me.” Michael scold her. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“There are other ways to fight against Gina other that a physical battle.” Ariana pouted feeling

wronged.

Michael could only sigh and shake his head. His little wife only know how to fight against him and

allow her family that she is not even blood related to, to mistreat her. Well she doesn’t know yet.

“Well that is true but next time you need to fight back. Don’t come back here with anymore bruise.

It breaks my heart.” He showered her lips with pecks of kisses.

Ariana felt warm in her heart and wanted to remain like this, “I promise I will not get hurt anymore.”

“Alright, I hold you to that. Another thing, please stay away from Adam and Gina.” Michael was

angry just by thinking about that man. One of the reason why he didn’t put any more pressure on Gina

and Johnson was because that would leave Adam head space free to chase after his wife.

Ariana knew that he didn’t trust her with Adam, after all, it is the man she loved for many years. He

might have been tricked in the relationship with Gina but he could have prevented it. Instead he chased

her away without hesitation.

She did not regret it though. She silently thanked him for releasing her now that she met Michael.

“It wasn’t my intention to meet him there. It was a mere coincidence.” She looked at Michael with

confidence saying, “Just as you want me to trust you, I want you to trust me too. There will never be an

Adam and me again.”

She smirked at him, “Besides, his actions pushed us together. If he hadn’t done what he did back

then, how could I meet such a fine and handsome husband?” she tried escaping after asking him.

Michael would never give her the chance to. He pulled her body to him and then pressed down his

body to hers, “Darling, be careful if you don’t want me to take advantage of you tonight.”

She only smile and placed her hands around his neck instinctively. Her bright eyes daring him to

try and that was the only invitation Michael needed.

He was elated by her previous words. He felt his heart beating faster than usual and his heart is

always beating hard and fast around her. “Since when did you learn to say sweet words to seduce

me?”

“He he, who is seducing you?” Ariana decides to play dumb but she did not realized that her

behavior had strong effects on him.

She wrapped her legs around his waist and Michael dive into a kiss but he was kissing her more

tenderly than usual due to her bruise lips. Her face was no longer swollen, obviously whatever the

doctor gave her worked in minutes.

Ariana did not hesitate to kiss him back. Slowly they removed each other’s pajamas barely

breaking apart.

Their body intertwine into one as they made passionate love for the remainder of the night.

Forgetting all their worries and deciding to trust each other.
