Half an hour later...
Both Leonard and Lily comfortably lying on the couch. There are several marks on Lily body, Lily tries to get away from him, a hiss left her mouth. She accusingly look at Leonard "You are a beast, can't you control yourself in your workplace. Now how I'm gonna go home looking like this. This dress can't even cover those hickey that you put around my neck!"
Leonard look satisfied with the work he did on Lily's body "I own this damn place so, who will dare to say anything" he said and wrap his arm around Lily waist pulling her towards him "And moreover it's a mark of love what's there to ashamed of."
"You are shameless! I can't just win against you!" she said narrowing her eyes at him. Suddenly remembering of something she curiously look at him "By the way who's Sasha?"
Leonard look at Lily and freeze "What about her?" he nervously asked. He knows he doesn't have glorious past but talking about it with Lily making him very nervous.
"Well I heard something like she was yours long time girlfriend and matter between both of you were quite serious" Lily said looking suspiciously at him.
"Baby I won't justify my past. I was an asshole no doubt in that but baby we were just partner with benefit. There is nothing going on with us." Leonard said panicking after all he doesn't want to ruin the harmonious relationship between them.
"Partners with benefits? what's that?" Lily asked raising her left eye brow.
"She is one of my client and we also work as partner in one project. We were physically attracted to each other but didn't want relationship. So, we were partners with benefit." Leonard explain but his eyes looking at Lily anxiously.
"oh, I see." Lily said in low voice. Lily started to wear her clothes.
Leonard panicked seeing Lily "Lily....." a desperation could be heard in his voice.
"Are you still in contact with her?" Lily suddenly asked after wearing her clothes.
"She is one my client so yes but just as client only. Nothing happened between us." Leonard said in desperation.
"I see" Lily said in low voice, her thoughts wander around the time she heard several whispers. An uneasy feeling spread inside her, she has seen countless of women leaving Zachary bedroom. Her insecurities is feeding on her rational mind.
Leonard on the other hand could understand what's going on inside her mind. But Seeing her silent and expressionless he don't know how to deal with it. Previously he never used to care about other feelings but now things are different. Seeing Lily emotionally dettach he didn't like it. He took hold of her hand and pull her making her sit on his lap.
"Lily tell me what's going on inside your head. I won't understand untill you tell me. whatever you are feeling express it" Leonard said.
Lily look at Leonard face seeing his pleading eyes she gave in "Firstly, As I said before don't cheat on me rather you tell me that this relationship is not working. Secondly, if nothing is going on between both of you then make it clear to her I don't want any misunderstanding later on between us and thirdly I'm very possessive woman so you better think before cheating on me or I will make your life living hell and lastly..."
"Lastly..." Leonard asked, even though his face has no expression but his eyes contain amusement in it.
Seeing his lips stretching in grin Lily huffed "lastly it's high time you should change your status from bachelor to married"
"As my wife command" Leonard said amusedly seeing his wife pouting angrily. He suddenly remembered something and take out the couple rings from his drawer. Looking at the rings Lily felt guilty, even though both are married for more than half a year but they didn't wear the ring as Lily doesn't want to leak their marriage.
Leonard take out the ring and place it on her finger and Lily doing the same "Now it's feel like we are married" Leonard said looking at his ring grinning.
Lily roll her eyes but her lips twitch seeing Leonard grinning like a fool.
There is no denying that rumours spread fast like fire but in Leonard and Lily case it's reality. Till now the news of their boss being married. At first nobody believes it but it's get confirmed when they the rings on their findings. That day the news of Leonard Marshall being married spread like wildfire.
