Chapter 217 - I love you, Wifey

''Hey, Tiana! '' Claire exclaimed as they walked into the ward, her arms open wide. 

''What happened? '' she asked embracing her in a hug; Nicklaus had stepped out earlier, so they did not meet him.

Tiana chuckled; ''It was an accident, but it's nothing serious, I'm getting better now. ''

"Oh, I'm so sorry, was that why your phone wasn't reachable?''

''Yeah, it got crushed, but Nicklaus got me a new one. '' Tiana beamed, pointing at her phone;

''Oh, where is he? '' she asked, looking around,

''He stepped out for a while, he'll be back soon. ''

''Okay, ''

''So sorry dear, we got you something to read while staying here; ''

Leo walked to her side of the bed and handed her a book; ''Oh that's so thoughtful of you… A Billion Dollar Exchange; thank you, I love romance! '' Tiana smiled brightly;

''You're welcome. ''

''And guess what? Our commercial would air next week! ''

Tiana's eyes brightened at her words; ''really? That's so great! Too bad I won't be in the company. ''

''You don't have to worry; you can still view it from here, okay? ''

Claire soothed and Tiana smiled. They talked for a bit before they finally left.

Tiana started reading the book they got her and she didn't know when she slept up, when she woke up Nicklaus was sitting on the couch, working on his laptop.

''you're awake? ''

He smiled when he noticed she had woken up.

''Yeah, Leo and Claire came by earlier today. '' she said; walking to where he sat on the couch. She could walk now, but she still limped a little. Since she could walk, she had pleaded with Nicklaus to let her go home, but he had refused; he said she wouldn't leave until she could walk properly on both feet without limping.

''That's very thoughtful of them; ''

''Yeah, they even brought me a book to keep me busy, what are you doing? ''

She sat down beside him; ''working. '' Nicklaus replied, kissing her on the lips briefly.

They haven't had s.e.x since her injury and plus the one week she had spent in France, it was almost two weeks and they haven't had s.e.x. Nicklaus wasn't even looking troubled at all, but Tiana was almost losing it. The worst was he didn't even make an attempt to initiate it; the highest they had done was only kissing and cuddling.

She knew he wouldn't touch her since she was injured, but she was so horny!

And it wasn't even helping that she was forced to gape at his gorgeous face and body for almost 24 hours in a day.

Tiana pouted, her arms going around his torso.

Nicklaus hugged her briefly kissing her forehead, and then continued with work. When Tiana saw he wasn't going to do anything; she raised his shirt up and hugged his bare skin.

A small groan left his lips but he did not do anything else;

Tiana grumbled, her hands caressing him as she tried to touch him everywhere, she took her hands out of his shirt and started unbuttoning it, her gaze dark with desire. She pulled him down by the neck kissing his lips;

''Beautiful, '' Nicklaus chuckled, holding her hands in place. ''your hands are injured and your legs are broken, how do you want me to touch you?''

He laughed, kissing her lips and putting the laptop aside;

Tiana whimpered; ''it's been two weeks! ''

That means he was planning on not touching her till she was fully healed? He must be joking!

''Just wait a little more, okay? You don't want your injuries reopening. ''

Tiana whimpered; ''we could do little things; we must not be rough, okay? I miss you so much. ''

Tiana kissed his neck upwards to his lips; Nicklaus tried to resist but she was not having it, she used her tongue to pry open his lips, kissing him deeper;

Nicklaus gave in to the kiss, holding her neck and sucking deeper into her mouth;

Her hands tugged on his shirt, pulling it off, she savaged his body with her hands;

Nicklaus lifted her up and carried her to the bed, their lips not breaking; when they reached the bed, he placed her gently on it. His lips left her mouth and traced down her neck then up to her ears; and then he whispered;

''We have no condoms, so we can't do a thing. ''

With that he kissed her lips and stood up from the bed, walking back to the couch. Tiana's lips fell open in surprise, just now she was thinking he was going to do something; angrily she turned to him with a glare; ''you can get some if you want to, you just don't want to. ''

''Beautiful, I don't want to hurt you '' he had already hurt her enough, he wasn't about to add to the pain;

"Wait… do you not find me attractive anymore? I'm no longer beautiful to you? ''

Nicklaus lips fell open at her sudden emotional blackmail.

He didn't want to injure her and this was a hospital ward too, the doctor could come in at any time;

''Beautiful, I find you recklessly s.e.xy, right now; I'm trying my best not to touch you… ''

Tiana wasn't even listening to him; ''so that's it. This is where it ends, my husband doesn't love me anymore.''

She threw her hands in the air, faking a cry, Nicklaus couldn't help but feel amused by her actions. He wanted her badly but he wanted her to be safe more. They could wait.

''You are so cute when you do that, ''

Tiana turned to him with a glare; ''just know you're sleeping on the couch from now on. ''

Nicklaus smiled; ''you know I love you right? ''

Tiana tried to glare, but the tone of his voice when he said it made her cheeks flush and she turned away from him, hiding her blush;

''don't talk to me. ''

She turned to the other side; trying to look angry even though she knew she was failing woefully at it.

''I love you, wifey. ''
