Chapter 248 - Stroking His Ego
"Hello," he smiled at her and fixed the stray hairs falling on her face behind her ears.
His lips curved up as he noticed her struggling to open her eyes.
"Hi," Jerlina smiled as she opened her eyes.
His kiss was sweet. She found that she liked to kiss him, a lot.
"Meet you husband, wife," Jeremy smiled. "The stupidest fool on earth," he added.
Jerlina could sense that he is going to talk to her about something and tried to sit properly. But he pointed his lap. He was sitting on the bed with his legs stretched on. She straddled on his thighs and rested her butts on that hard surface with no qualms.
His thighs were hard as a rock and she knew he can carry her for a long time. Plus, she liked to sit on his thighs like this. This way, she would be closer to his face.
She can have a good lick at his lips.
*cough*
She can have a good look at his eyes.
"Hello, husband," she smiled. "I am your wife... an emotional, overreacting idiot..." she smiled.
His big hands rested on the curve of her waist. She flinched a little by how warm his hands were but when he pulled her closer, she went along. Resting her forearms on his shoulders, she looked into his eyes.
"You're not emotional. You're smart..." he pecked her lips.
"Oh, really?" with a smug smile, Jerlina cocked her brows. "Tell me more..."
Jeremy laughed. "You were right when you said that those words didn't just slip out..." he held her cheek.
Her proud smile disappeared and an unsure stare ruled her face making Jeremy feel bad.
"I..." he wondered how he should talk about it. "I was stupid and was feeling bad because I personally didn't protect you with my own hands. That day against Viper, Brian was my man and yet he tried to... and also against... Emma..."
Jeremy expected her to laugh immediately at his stupidity but she wasn't laughing. She looked deep in thoughts.
"Jeryl..?" he ran his thumb over her lips.
"Yes?" Jerlina looked at him.
She understood him now. His pride got hurt when his wife was protected by another man. And he promised to protect her and when it was his own people who tried to hurt her.
Did he think that he is not suitable for me for this reason?
Yes, he promised to protect me but that doesn't mean that he should be with me always and protect me always.
Wait...
Only then Jerlina remembered Scarlett's words.
'We have to make them believe they are smarter and stronger to stroke their ego. Otherwise, they won't be different from whiny b*tches.'
Scarlett also told her that she lets Bobby open the pickle jar once in a while and will let him mock her for her strength or ask him to get something from the top cabinet or ask him about something obvious and would pretend to be in awe of his knowledge, dress sexily for him, and so forth.
So men need to be affirmed like that, for real? Do even alphas need affirmation?
It was then she remembered how he seemed to feel a little inscure about his educational qualification and when she explained her view to him, he seemed to be touched.
So that's it, huh?
This guy... this alpha... he loves me too much and wants affirmation from me from time to time...
But even he gets insecure at times and says stupid stuff to me, huh?
Interesting!
"But I thought it was you who protected me," Jerlina licked his thumb.
Jeremy was stunned for a moment but then he relaxed. Jerlina held his wrist and looked at him with a smile.
"You see..."she kissed his index finger. "Do you think Wyatt would have given me the time of the day if not for the fact that I am YOUR wife?" she swirled her tongue around the tip of his finger and sucked them with her lips.
"No..." Jeremy replied.
"Yeah, Obviously..." Jerlina rolled her eyes. Bending a little, she held his palm and sucked his finger as a whole. She could feel his hold on her waist tightening and he pulled her closer to sit on his crotch.
It was warm.
"Tell me more," he said. It was a command and Jerlina didn't mind.
"And... he sold the weapons to Viper but he tampered with them. Why do you think that?" she looked at him with his finger still in her mouth.
"Why?" Jeremy clenched his jaw and leaned closer to her. His fingers started to play in her mouth.
As his fingers grazed through the roof of her mouth palate, Jerlina felt a jolt of pleasure passing through her.
It seems like that is one of my erogenous zones...
"Because he was scared to cross you..." she didn't stop sucking his finger.
She let out a short moan as his hand on her waist travelled downwards and he lifted the skirt of her dress up. She ended up sitting on his lap on her underwear. He didn't stop there as his hand started to caress her buttock.
"Because... he knew you won't let his family live... if something happened to me..." Jerlina finished speaking swallowing the moans that formed in her throat.
The sensations of his finger in her mouth and the rough caressing of his big hands on her lower body all stirred the deepest desires of her body.
"Yeah, I wouldn't have..." Jeremy's eyes turned sharp as he licked the corner of her lips where a little of her saliva had escaped out. He pulled out his finger from her mouth and pressed his lips on hers.
"Hmn, Joel..." Jerlina spoke amidst the storm of kisses that rained on her. "Your reputation preceeds you," she gasped as both of his hands slipped inside her dress.
"Your strength and your valor...I knew, I am untouchable... " she said looking in his eyes.
His eyes met with hers and the next moment, he pulled her dress and it ended up on the floor.
"Why do you think that I promised those cops that I will remember them...?" she crashed her lips on his as her bra strap fell from her shoulders.
"They said you won't live... there were traps for you... But I didn't believe them... I knew you'll survive and come for me..." she supported herself on her knees and lifted her butt up as his fingers slipped inside her underwear.
"I knew you'll get back at them for me... I knew I will survive..."
Jerlina revelled in his kisses that has gotten rough by now. His fingers held her by her hair at the back of her head. She knew he wanted her right this moment as much as she wanted him.
"Get this thing off..." he pulled the bra band as he kissed her neck.
"Still can't unhook a bra?" she smirked at him.
"Jeryl!" he glared at her and she giggled.
But right then....
