Alec was stunned by Jamila's new look she's looking more prettier and the thought made him want to touch her. He saw the way she smiled and chatted happily with belle and his respect for belle grew . His wife had not been this happy since their marriage three months ago. He watch her laugh to what belle was saying in the kitchen as they prepare dinner together . He knows that his cold action has drive her away but he can't say he is proud of that .
Meeting her was never love at first sight from neither of them as he met her in a corner of their bomb ruined home crying over the body of her father begging the dead man to stand up . After the encounter he took her to a refugee camp for women and he had promised to come visiting and the sticked to his words . He had come visiting and when he had seen she might need money for upkeep he had ask her to cook for him while he pay back . Marriage to her was the least in his mind until someone went and report to the female refugee head that Jamila is in a illegitimate relationship with him and he was forced to.marry her despite his reluctance. He doesn't want to get saddled by a woman. His mother was a mistake he did not wish to repeat and besides he's way older than her while he is his early forties she's in her middle twenties so the age Gap is too much .
But then anytime he's near her he itch to touch her to kiss that lips of hers until it swollen. He doesn't know how to mend his relationship with her but he won't let her go. He had look the look of tenderness for him in her eyes , he has missed her cooking, he has missed how her body felt when close to him . Every night he had itch to hold her close but pride wouldn't let him.
"You know you should quit eye raping your wife . If you're in the mood take her and get things done"
Alec frown and look at him curiously " is that what you do to Belle"
Braxton was silent for a moment before her replied" I can't do that with her man . I as much as I love to I can't"
Alec looked at his little bro . " Do you know you love her"
Braxton nodded "but as a friend not what you're thinking" Alec chuckled and shook his head . He was distracted when Jamila came to call him to come to the dinning. She seems very scared of him and he hates it. He watch as his little brother walked up to Belle and whisper something in her ears but she glared at him while he laugh. Those two will never change.
He sat close to Jamila , then compliment her on her hair as if seeing it for the first time and he watched secretly as she and Belle exchange a Knowing smile. He smirked then begin to eat . The atmosphere around them was light with laughter and chatter.
***********************************************************
Dinner was great and she was happy she could bring out the real Jamila so now she would have her bath ,read a book before sleeping since her husband is in a usual midnight discussion with his brother .
After taking a shower she stepped out to clean her self and was startled by her husband's timely presence she tried to reach for the towel to cover her nudity but couldn't find any and her husband wasn't helping he stood there staring at her , his expression blank as if nothing was happening.
She decided to lie on the bed and used the blanket to cover herself. After a long moment of awkwardness Braxton burst into laughter that took her by surprise.she was expecting him to do anything but not laugh? . He also left to shower and belle used the time to look for her pyjamas anxiously . It never occur to her that looking for a cloth in the mist of so many clothes you may never find it. When she felt Braxton was coming out of the bathroom she wore his shirt though it was big for her and barely cover her thighs but it's better than nothing .
When Braxton came out she was packing her cloth inside the closet arranging it in order. She tried bending down to get her dress that fell on the floor but couldn't because if she Dare to bend her butt will be in view and she don't want that so she called her husband who was wondering what's wrong with her .
Braxton bent down to pick it but didn't give it to her directly he raised it but and asked her to reach for it
"C'mon Brax ,you are way taller than me"
"I f you can't reach it then I won't give it to you"
Belle grits her teeth , " Bastard" she said under her breath then begin to reach for it . Braxton playfully raised it more high than it was . After unsuccessfully trying to reach it she tickled him ,when he raised it down while laughing she took it from him ticking out her tough out at him but he didn't budge he began to tickle her she laughed helplessly begging him to stop but he didn't and she began laughing until her side ached but when he did stop she playfully gave him a hard punch on his arm .
"You jerk ,you almost killed me"
Braxton grit his teeth from the pain of her punch and began to pursue her around the huge room , saying he would complete his mission and tickle her to death . When he finally caught her the both were laughing uncontrollably .
"You almost killed me" she said still laughing
"But I decided to spare you cos I still need ya" he said smiling then he bent his head taking her by another surprise with his lips . Belle gave a surprised sound when he began kissing her. He kissed her so tenderly that Belle melted in his arms she began kissing him back , clinging to him for support. He left her mouth and began to kiss her collar bone ,neck, biting her earlobe tenderly. She moaned holding him tighter as they landed on the bed
"Stop me belle"
" I.....I .. can't"
In the next minutes clothes were on the floor, moans were been heard and babies were been made .....and finally a more awkward situation been them was being born
