I felt someone touching my face which made me scrunch up my nose and shut my eyes tightly because it disturbed my sleep.

And then my cheek was being gently caressed so with my eyes still closed, I just slapped it away, frowning.

I heard a deep chuckle and I could feel my hair being brushed away from my forehead and a gentle kiss was placed there.

"Baby?" Rafe whispered softly.

And I had to bite my lips to stop myself from smiling at the endearment.

"I know you are awake so stop pretending because we will be getting late. I already let you sleep for some extra time while I got freshened up."

When I still made no efforts to get up, he sighed. "You left me with no options then...other than this..."

Wait, what?

And as usual, water was thrown over my face making me gasp loudly and sprang up straight.

I glared at Rafe who sat beside me, trying to stifle his laugh, a bottle of water in his hand which was now half empty.

"How dare you!" I yelled at him. "Can't you just wake me up like a normal person?"

He shrugged. "I did try to..."

"You are an idiot, Rafe Hanzall Andrews! And you--"

I was cut off as he leaned forward and pressed his lips on mine, making my eyes widen and he pulled back a few seconds later. "Goodmorning, my dear wife. Now please get ready because we are running late. Is this way better?"

I was still not used to us kissing and all, so all I could do was blush hard and avert my eyes from him but not before I saw him smiling softly while looking at me.

When I glanced up at him again, he had suddenly leaned closer again making my heart race at our close proximity as he gazed into my eyes intensely. He lifted his hand and gently grabbed the back of my neck, pulling my face closer to him, close enough for our lips to brush lightly.

"Now, Mrs Andrews, are you getting up or do I need to use some other ways this time? And may I add that those ways will take a lot of time." His voice low and husky, a slight smirk gracing his lips.

I hope he didn't notice the way I clenched my thighs together and gulped audibly.

He cocked his head slightly when I didn't reply. "Should I...?"

I quickly shook my head which made him pout his lips and pull back. "Well, that's sad."

Looking away from him, I got up immediately and scrambled out of the tent as I heard him chuckle to himself behind me.

Warning:

Later that night, we both were once again setting up our tent.

"Rafe?" I called him softly.

He was lighting up a small fire and without looking up at me he said, "Yes?"

"What if we find this pen drive on time?"

He continued to light up the fire. "Then this fucking Carl won't trouble us anymore."

"So..." My voice turned gloomy. "This... marriage...this contract, it will...it will end, right? It will end before the six months are over?"

His hands paused, his whole body froze for a second actually and then his head snapped upto me, with an unreadable expression written all over his face.

But he was quick to cover it up as he blinked a few times and cleared his throat, looking away. "Y-yeah...I...I think so..."

He lit up the fire and just stared at it for a moment, lost in his thoughts. He seemed to be ruminating while I watched him, my heart aching at the thought of us being separated.

Tears welled up in my eyes and I had to blink them away before I could cry and I cleared my throat to get his attention.

He looked at me and got up, walking closer to me. He forced a smile on his face. "Let's sleep, shall we?"

I nodded not trusting my voice and followed him inside the tent. My heart ached even more when he didn't cuddle with me, instead he laid down and turned his back towards me.

I wanted to hug him so I contemplated on it. So, a minute later, I shifted closer and wrapping my arm around his waist and burying my face in his back.

His body tensed for a moment before he turned around and maybe I imagined it but I noticed a drop of tear in the corner of his eye.

But my attention diverted when he cupped my cheek, gazing down at me. "Leona..."

I didn't let him speak anymore and I leaned forward and planted my lips on his firmly, hoping he won't push me away.

It took him a moment to respond back. But when he did...

The passion with which he kissed me back almost blew me away and I moaned softly into the kiss.

With a small grunt, he flipped us over making me lay down on my back continuing to kiss me.

The kiss which started as a soft, sweet one soon turned into a heated one as he deepened the kiss and our tongues danced together, my fingers tangling in his hair and his hands roamed my body.

Abruptly, he pulled back, his eyes darker than usual and he removed the blanket from over us and pulled his t shirt over his head and threw it somewhere before coming down again and kissing me hard.

My hands wrapped around his shoulder, enjoying the feeling of his muscles flexing under my touch.

His lips trailed downwards, sucking, biting, pressing kisses all over my neck making me moan his name again and again and again.

When I moaned his name again, he stopped and buried his face in the crook of my neck. "I am going to ravish you, Leona if you keeping moaning my name like that and don't tell me to stop." He whispered huskily against my neck.

"Who says I want you to stop?" I said breathlessly, hoping he would stop talking and finish what he started.

He lifted his head from my neck and stared at me, his eyes widening slightly at my words. "You sure about that because I don't want you to regret anything nor do I want to hurt you..."

Cupping both his cheeks, I brought his head down and crashed my lips with his not before murmuring, "I'm sure about this, so, stop talking."

He pressed his body over mine, pinning my hands over my head and I could feel his arousal pressed against my abdomen which caused the heat to pool between my legs.

When he pulled back this time, he did it so he could remove my t shirt but right before it, his eyes searched mine, silently asking for my consent and I nodded eagerly and he proceeded to remove my t shirt and even the pair of leggings I wore, leaving me bare to the cold.

And then he removed his sweatpants leaving him in his boxers, his hard arousal evident which made me blush.

I lifted my hand and trailed my fingers teasingly down his chest to his abs making him groan lightly and he was on me again, his lips pressing over my bare chest since I wasn't wearing any bra.

I clutched his biceps tightly as his mouth took in one of my nipples and I moaned his name loudly. And a few seconds later he switched to the other one making me wither underneath him.

The desire that I had for him for such a long time, it was finally going to burn down. I was finally going to have him.

He pulled back yet again, his body hovering above mine, his hands on either side of my head, his hair all messy, eyes full of lust as they bore into mine and he breathed heavily.

One of his hand moved down and hooked into my panties, slowly dragging it down, all the while he kept his eyes locked with mine.

Once they were removed, he threw them on top of his clothes and a light smirk formed on his lips. "Like I said...I am going to ravish you, baby." And he winked before going down and parting my legs.

My eyes widened as I realised what he was going to do and my mouth fell open. "R-rafe...you don't have to--"

My breath hitched as I felt his lips over my core. I tried to close my legs but he held them firmly and his tongue darted out to lick its way up my down and up my core, his stubble brushing against my inner thigh.

And my legs automatically wrapped around his neck and I almost screamed his name. "Rafe!" My head falling back.

And that's when his sweet assault started there as he sucked and licked making me thrash my head against the pillow. His tongue slightly entering inside and my mouth opened in a silent scream.

"Rafe!" It was a complain because he wasn't giving me what I wanted and he stopped abruptly and chuckled deeply. "Anything wrong, baby?" He was teasing me, doing it deliberately.

"You are torturing me, idiot!" I complained, shouting at him.

He lifted his head, amusement dancing in his eyes. His finger gently and teasingly rubbed circles over my inner thigh. "Am I? Does that mean I should stop?"

"No!" I felt like crying due to the frustration. "Please!"

I don't know how he could hold back because I could clearly see his arousal straining against his boxers.

He removed himself from over me making me furrow my eyebrows in confusion. "What? Where are you going?"

He shuffled around and grabbed his bag. "Condom."

"Condom?"

His back was towards me. "Yeah! Of course we need it unless you want to have a baby with me...though I won't mind that."

"Oh..." I whispered. But then I realised something. "You brought a condom with you?!"

"I always have one in my wallet!" He defended himself quickly.

"But why did you bring your wallet here?"

"I always carry it with me."

"But who the hell brings a wallet to a forest? What were you going to buy here? Animals?"

He finally turned and coming closer, pressed his lips on mine in order to silence me, making me taste myself.

He retreated back and teared open open the condom with his teeth, gazing down at me intensely.

"Idiot." I muttered underneath my breath but he heard me.

And he smirked. "Is that what you are going to scream now?"

My cheeks turned red and I averted my eyes from him making him chuckle deeply and cupping my cheeks, he kissed me again.

I don't even remember when he removed his boxers and wore the condom, only when I felt him at my entrance, my eyes flew open.

"I'm asking you one last time, baby...you want this?" He whispered softly.

"Yes, Rafe. Please." I begged.

He connected our lips again and at the same time thrusted inside me hard making me gasp into the kiss.

He grabbed both my thighs and threw my legs over his shoulder, his hands pinning mine on either side of my body and he intertwined our fingers together and continued to thrust slowly and deeply.

"Leona..." He moaned softly against my lips.

My hands were wrapped around his neck and we stared into each other's eyes which made it so much more intimate and my heart skipped a beat.

"Rafe..." I moaned yet again and it seemed he lost control as his thrusts became a lot more harder and quicker.

He really meant it when he said he would make me scream because that's what I did, my nails digging into his back, my eyes rolling back due to the pleasure he was giving me.

He buried his head in my neck and continued to thrust inside me at a fast rate, softly moaning and groaning my name in between while I screamed his.

Everything seemed so unreal, it seemed like a dream. And suddenly a realisation settled inside me, telling me that how much I love this man.

I love him.

I love Rafe. Period.

It was this realisation which caused me to tear apart as I screamed his name, the pleasure was so intense that it made me see the stars. Me, cumming triggered his climax too as he groaned and emptied himself inside me.

We stayed in that position for a moment, catching our breaths.

And then slowly he lifted himself off me, and removed my legs from his shoulder, gently placing them down.

I was exhausted. I couldn't even move and my eyes started to close.

I could hear Rafe shuffling around and a minute later, I felt a wet cloth in between my legs as he gently wiped that area and I could feel him making me wear my leggings and he proceeded to make me wear my t shirt too as if I was a small child but at that moment I was too tired to care.

Soon, I was pulled into his arms, and he kissed my forehead lingeringly and I buried my face in his chest, sighing softly as I drifted off to a deep sleep.
