His Toxic Addiction-Chapter 337: Because I Love You.

Music Recommendation: Mirrors - Justin Timberlake

.....

Arissa stiffened when her legs made it to the hallway. She thought the living room was all of it and never guessed more.

"Nicklaus," she gushed.

When she said she was ready for more surprises, she never expected it to be this extreme.

The hallway wasn’t left out in the magical and breathtaking arrangement. For the hallway, rows, and rows of blooming colorful flowers that nearly consumed the hallway covered everywhere.

The flower path filled the hallway down to the elevator and ended at a slumber party-style set-up consisting of dreamy diffused purple lighting.

"This is beautiful," her voice became emotional, "I’m sorry you went through all of this stress,"

Nicklaus brushed it off, "I went through no stress. It’s for the woman I love and besides, Geal was here to help with a few persons," he told her.

He swept her feet off the floor and carried her into his arms in bridal style. A small unexpected shrill left Arissa’s lips and when he smiled down at her, she laughed.

Nicklaus carried her through the rows of flowers and into the elevator. Arissa’s heart pounded in her chest when they got to their room floor.

There were no flowers in their room hallway. It was just candles with a dimmed light. She gulped softly and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Nicklaus got to her room door and when he opened it, Arissa could not believe the beauty of the room.

Her room was filled with countless and countless of white bouquets and a thousand candles. There was no light in her room, the only light available was generated from the candles.

There on her small table, a glass of wine and two glasses lay idle, waiting for who would make use of them. There was also a single rose lying sweetly there.

Nicklaus gently dropped her to the floor. When her feet kissed the floor, she looked around the room and was stunned to see boxes of gifts arranged before her vanity table.

The boxes vary in size, some bigger than others, and after making a quick count with her eyes, she realized she had twenty-eight boxes to open.

She faced Nicklaus, placed her hand on his chest, and ran her hand through his body, "I never knew you were so thoughtful when it comes to things like this," she joked, her hands slipping under his shirt.

Nicklaus pulled her close and gave her a hard spank on her ass. Arissa gasped and her hands under his shirt stopped moving.

Nicklaus caressed her ass after spanking it, saying, "I might not be thoughtful when it comes to doing it for someone else but I’ll bring the best out of everything I do for my wife," he assured her.

Arissa stared into his eyes, eyed his lips sensually, and asked, "What would you do with the higher-ups?" she did not doubt his love but light fears lingered in her heart.

She doesn’t want him to lose everything because of her. She wants to be happy and she wishes him more.

"Nothing,"

Arissa blinked, "Nothing?"

"Yes, nothing," he nodded, "I am self-made, and about their fucking position, they can shove it up their ass. I once cared about it but not anymore,"

Arissa looked away from him in thought, "So you’ll terminate the contract?" she asked with concern. The words Mrs. Wyatt told her about the consequences of him terminating the contract replayed at the back of her mind.

Nicklaus felt her worry. He lifted her chin with his finger for her to look into his eyes, "Arissa did someone tell you anything?"

Arissa was taken aback by the question. She breathed slowly as she thought of what to say. Giving up at the last minute, she came out clean before him, "Sort of," she said, "The contract is dark, Nick and no one cared about informing me," she looked flustered.

Nicklaus smiled, "At first, I felt no need to do that. And then, as time went on I realized I wanted something more from you... like a future with you so I decided to keep things like that away because I feared they might be obstacles to you accepting me," he explained.

"If so, why don’t we get divorced first," she suggested. From Mrs. Wyatt’s explanation, the consequences that would come from them getting divorced are better than the consequences he would face if they dared terminate the contract.

"I won’t divorce my woman to marry her again. It’s sheer stupidity," he reasoned gently, "I don’t think the higher-ups can use that against me. The person they benefit from is already behind bars,"

Arissa took her hands out of Nicklaus’s shirt. Getting hold of his hand, she squeezed it with encouragement and said, "Not you, it’s you and I, we, us. We are in this together and I don’t want you to think you’re all alone. Not anymore, Nick,"

Nicklaus blinked in amazement.

Seeing the doubt in Nicklaus’s eyes, Arissa went on, "I might not have... I mean I might not know what to do but I want you to always remember that you have me here. I will stand with you and do everything for you because I love you."

Nicklaus’s eyes softened, "Thank you," he hugged her.

"I should be thanking you for everything," Arissa said with a soft smile as she wrapped her hands around him.

Nicklaus kissed her hair and pulled away from the hug. Slowly, his fingers reached for the edges of her trench coat.

"I want you," he breathed, his fingers dancing on her coat. "We should have had more conversations but that can come after you tell me how yummy I am with our bodies colliding naked under the sheets,"

Arissa placed a hand on his hard muscles and his ripped muscles flexed under her touch. She ran her hand through them and raised her sensual eyes to look at him.

"You don’t forget things, do you?"

Nicklaus took off her coat and held her hair up, "Why should I forget a promise made to me by my wife?" he stared into her eyes and let go of her hair.

Arissa drew in a sharp breath. It was a simple act of arranging and letting go of her hair but it was enough to awaken her hormones.

She tiptoed a little and sized his lips. Nicklaus dominated the kiss that instant and in the next second, their clothes were sprawled on the floor.

In the embrace of the next person’s heat, they climbed the bed.....
