Chapter 263

I close my eyes and smile. I am completely obsessed with this man.
Every day, our love grows more intense, more crazed, more ours.
I finish my shower, grab the robe, and put it on, feeling the soft fabric
slide over my damp skin. I walk to the bedroom and head straight for
the closet. I pick out dark dress pants, fresh underwear, a crisp white
shirt, and my black suit jacket.
Once I’m dressed, I slip on my leather shoes, spray cologne on my
neck and wrists, and comb my hair back–exactly the way Magnus
loves it.
He always says I’m irresistible when I wear a suit and style my hair
like this.
I grab my wallet and phone from the desk. The glint of the wedding
band on my finger brings a small smile to my face. It’s good–no, it’s
perfect–to belong to someone.
I leave the bedroom and head downstairs to the kitchen. Magnus has
his back to me, concentrated on something at the stove. When he

turns and sees me, he lets out a heavy sigh, followed by a wicked grin.
“Fuck…” he breathes out. “You look so hot in a suit. I’ll never get used
to it.”
I let out a low laugh.
“You say that, but you know I lose it when you wear a leather jacket,
my love.”
He approaches slowly until he pins me between the counter and his
own body. The kiss that follows is calm and full of affection, with that
touch of love that always makes me forget the rest of the world. The
taste of his mouth is sweet and warm, and for a moment, time stops.
We pull apart breathless, with only the sound of our mingled
breathing between us.
“Do I really have to go today?” I ask, still out of breath.
ان
Magnus laughs and kisses my forehead.
“Yes, you have to go, baby.”
My legs nearly give out at the nickname, which makes him laugh even
harder.

“Mean,” I grumble, pouting, while he continues to laugh, satisfied
with the effect he has on me.
“Come eat; my husband needs to provide for me.” A provocative smile
plays on his lips.
I return the look, letting the same flirtatious tone escape.
“Yes, that is my duty,” I reply, leaning in to kiss his forehead.
We sit at the table, and the delicious aroma of the food makes my
stomach growl. The spread is lavish, as always; Magnus never does
anything halfway.
“As always, you’ve outdone yourself, my love,” I comment, picking up
my silverware. “Thank you for taking such good care of your
husband.”
He reaches out and tenderly caresses my face.
“I’ll always take care of you. Now eat; time is ticking.”
I give a low laugh, leaning slightly over my plate.
“Love, you know I’m the boss, right? I can show up whenever I want.”

He continues to stroke my face, a simple gesture that always disarms me. I feel my heart warm, and I begin to eat peacefully, savoring every
bite.
Soon he joins me, and the comfortable silence between us is filled
only by the light sounds of the meal and the certainty that there is no
safer place in the world than right there, by his side.
Once we finish eating, we get up, and I start helping him put the
plates in the sink. Magnus tries to stop me, but I insist; I love being
by his side for everything, even the simplest tasks.
He steps back, grabs the car keys, and jingles them in the air with that
charming smile.
“Let’s go. I’ll wash everything when I get back.”
I step closer and hug him, feeling his warmth.
“Can you come pick me up at work, too? That way we can have lunch
together… and get a head start on our date.”
