The Arranged Bride

Nick's POV

I groaned as the sunlight fell on my face. I could feel a weight on my left arm. Blinking open my eyes, I turned to my left to welcome the most beautiful sight of my life, my woman sleeping in my arms. I would absolutely love to wake up to such a sight every morning throughout my life.

Sophia's face looked peaceful and pure without a hint of worry and I wish to keep it that way only. All worries would be reserved for me and she would always be smiling and be at peace. The calmness on her face had a strange soothing effect on me and I couldn't afford to lose it for anything. It was as if her peaceful face had the power to keep my mind at ease.

She snuggled closer to me in her sleep and pressed her face to my chest. . I wrapped my arms around her and stroked her hair gently. The sweet smell of her was enveloping me I could feel the familiar feeling of protectiveness towards her. I wished to keep her safe from every worry and every evil in the world. I needed her to be with me always, to keep me sane.

Last night has been the most blissful night for me. The feel of her soft body against mine and the way her body was responding to my touches, was something indescribable. I could never get tired of hearing her sweet moans when i would make love to her, when we would be chasing our highs.

I was brought back from my thoughts when she stirred in her sleep and after a few minutes, fluttered open her eyes. I mentally chuckled at how cutely she yawned. I sound so whipped right? Well no denying,

am.

Once her eyes met with mine, she sent a smile my way, one that could brighten up someone's entire day.

My eyes focused on her mouth, her pink luscious lips and I could feel the desire to feel those soft lips against mine, rising in me.

I leaned in to kiss her but before I could touch them, she put a hand on her mouth.

I furrowed my eyebrows at her in confusion.

"Morning breath." She blurted out. I rolled my eyes at her excuse.

"I don't mind." I shrugged. I honestly didn't.

"Well, I do." She replied back within a second.

"Ouch! That hurt." I feigned hurt and it was her turn to roll eyes at me. Eventually I managed to steal a kiss from her. She pouted at first but then a smile graced her beautiful face.

"I will be ordering breakfast and in the mean time you can go and freshen up. " I suggested getting up from my position.

"Nick, not now." She whined, grabbing my hand. It was honestly exceedingly difficult to ignore the puppy dog eyes that she was giving me.

"Sophia, the idea of staying in here all day, cuddled up with you, sounds truely tempting, but I don't want to spend our honeymoon in bed only." She seemed to consider my words before she spoke. "Okay, but where are we going?" She looked at me expectantly.

"How does snorkeling sound?" I saw her eyes widening in surprise followed by excitement covering her features.

"Really!?" She squealed and sat up in delight, resulting in the bedsheet to fall down on her lap. My eyes automatically made their way to her assets. Hey! You can't blame me especially when my wife is this hot.

"Nick!" She squeaked, pulling up

the bedsheet to cover her breasts and her face was flushed. I was amused

at how red her cheeks were at that moment. How could she possibly be so shy even afterthe events of the previous night?

"Really Sophia ? Anything, I haven't seen before?" I teased her. If possible her cheeks reddened even more. It was a really adorable sight though. How I wanted to pull her cheeks!

"Shut up and give me your shirt." She demanded in a rushed squeaky tone, failing to bring out the authority in her voice as she had expected to.

"No can do." I smirked at her. Honestly it was fun to irritate her and work her up.

"Nick!"

"No."

"Please!"

"Uh huh" She looked frustrated at my reply but then as if the wheels turned in her head and something mischevious glinted in her eyes.

"Give me the shirt right now or no sex for the rest of the honeymoon." My smirk immediately dropped and my eyes widened at her statement She had a smug look adorning her face. quickly jumped off the bed and brought my shirt that was discarded last night. She was grinning at me when I handed over the shirt to her.

"Well, that was easy." She chuckled at me. I glared at her but that only widened her grin.

Sophia's POV

"Nick, that was so beautiful." I gushed. Nick had booked a private lagoon cruise for us for snorkeling and let me say it, that was one of the most beautiful experience of may life. Since then, I just couldn't stop babbling about how colourful, the corals were. It truely was a beautiful sight, to look at the vibrantly coloured fishes, so closely. I kept on grinning like a kid on Christmas who had just got his gifts. This honeymoon was being better than what I could ever expect.

"Yes, it was." Nick smiled at me which I returned, only mine was a bit merrier. His face held an odd look of satisfaction.

Lunch was arranged for us in the cruise which I must add, tasted heavenly. It was a gourmet five course meal

I was seated on Nick's lap when he occasionally brushed his nose along my jawline and planted small kisses here and there. We luxuriated in the beauty of the sunset while sipping on the champagne that was served to us.

I was on my honeymoon with the love of my life. We were so close, holding each other like we were the only people there. Everything seemed so surreal, so beautiful. Everything seemed so perfect.
