Chapter 4 Not so fast, my wife

Irene immediately blushed, "Stop taunting me...What do you want?" she mumbled as her hands rested on Gunner's chest. She doesn't understand what is happening to her, but as time goes on, she notices that every time Gunner comes close to her, her heart begins to race.

Gunner looked at her and signed, "We're leaving this house," he whispered and gently rubbed Irene's lips.

Irene arched her brow as she met Gunner's eyes. (Hmm, is he planning something?) as she shakes her head in amazement. Irene has been staying in the mansion since she married Gunner. She was only permitted to go outside when she went to her parents' grave. "Do you mind letting me know where we're going?"

"I have projects outside Cambridge, so we'll move to a house near my workplace," Gunner whispered as he tightened his grip on Irene's body.

Irene wondered what kind of business Gunner was referring to. "Do I need to come?" she asked. Irene was lost in concentration when she realized that her finger had already touched Gunner's chest.

"You are my wife, so you need to come," Gunner responded before claiming her lips. The kiss was quick, but the effect on Irene was too significant.

What is happening to me? My heartbeat is getting faster day by day ... She murmured to herself while blushing.

Though Gunner had been gone for a while, Irene was still in astonishment. No! Not possible! Irene instantly pushes the idea that she is in love with her husband out of her head.

-------------

As Gunner said, they left the mansion early. While on the road, Irene was quiet, studying her feelings towards her husband.

"The rules in the last house will not change. Like before, you are not allowed to leave the house alone," Gunner insensitive remarks while his eyes were fixed on the papers in his hand.

Irene frowned, but she expected, "Why do I need to hide? I'm sure your enemy doesn't know my appearance ..." She responded while looking out the window.

Gunner pulled Irene closer. "I'm not asking for your opinion ... All I need is for you to follow my rule!" he affirmed furiously before releasing Irene's arm.

What's going on with him now? Did I make a mistake again? she asked, puzzled by Gunner's indifference. With that remark, Irene decided to keep her mouth shut, and it looked like Gunner didn't care because he didn't speak either.

The car stopped at a house the size of Gunner's home in Cambridge. The only difference is that the yard is slightly smaller.

"Where are you going? Are you leaving?" Irene asked in shock when Gunner remained in the vehicle.

"I told you, I have work," Gunner responded before the driver closed the car.

Irene gazed at the car, which quickly passed from her line of sight. She mumbled, "It's okay, Irene... At least you will be at rest," and then walked inside.

A week has passed since Irene and Gunner moved into the new house. And it's also been a week since Gunner came home, which Irene was happy about.

"It's better to watch than think of nonsense ..." Irene muttered as she grabbed the remote control for the TV.

As soon as the TV opened, Gunner's face startled Irene. "What the hell?" she murmured. Irene was surprised to see Gunner on television with a well-known movie actress.

"So, this is the work he's referring to?! The bastard! I thought he was different from other men!" Irene screamed angrily as she grabbed the phone and dialed Gunner's number.

[Sorry, the number you phoned is either out of service or not in our network; try again later]

Irene's eyes widened, "What! Now you're ignoring my call?!" she exclaims. She's calling Gunner for the first time, but he won't be picking up.

"Fine! Do whatever you like to do!" Irene whispered angrily and left the TV on.

Irene was prepared for a bath when Gunner came that evening. She can tell he's drunk just on the way he looks. Maybe he's in the arms of that famous girl on the TV. This idea inspired Irene's mind.

"Looks like your tire ... How's your work?" Irene approaches Gunner with a seductive smile.

"Why did you call? Did something happen?" Gunner asked, frowning. During the time he and Irene were together, he did not receive a call from her, so Gunner was surprised to see Irene miscalled.

"Why? Am I not allowed to call my husband?" Irene seductively comments as her hands are wrapped around Gunner's neck. Irene had the guts to do this, perhaps out of jealousy.

"You won't call me out of the blue... Tell me, what's wrong?" Gunner responded and wrapped his arm around Irene's waist.

"I watched TV earlier and saw you, so I thought of calling you ..." Irene confessed, removing her hand from Gunner's neck, but she failed when Gunner stopped her.

"Hmm, my wife decided to call me after seeing me on TV with another woman ... Is that right?"

I blush to see a smirk on Gunner's lips. He's teasing me again! With this in mind, Irene thrust her body nearer to him. "Why? Am I not allowed to disturb you?"

Gunner stared at her lips, "Irene, don't play with me.

"And what will happen if I want to play?" Irene responds as she rubs her lips on Gunner's lips.

Instead of answering, Gunner grabbed Irene by the nape and kissed her passionately. He has been restraining himself for so long, but since Irene makes the first move, Gunner loses his thinking.

Irene gave the same fervor and eagerness in her response.

But Irene doesn't intend to make out, so when Gunner releases her lip, she immediately puts a space on their body.

"I'm sure you're tired, so go to bed and rest ..." Irene said. She didn't wait for Gunner's answer as she quickly turned around and went to the bathroom.

"Not so fast, my dear wife ..."
