Chapter 22

Emily's POV

Cody set me down on my feet as he carried me to the bedroom. There were pretty red candles, the champagne in a bucket of ice and some chocolate-covered strawberries on the table in the room. The bed was decorated with red rose petals.

I bit my lower lip nervously while looking around. Calm down, Emily. You weren't a real husband and wife. So there was nothing to be nervous about, but I could not control my anxiety.

"Umm...I will change my clothes in the bathroom." I mumbled as I grabbed my nightie and robe which were on the couch beside the bed.

"Well, I will change my clothes here, then while you are in the bathroom." Cody said, rubbing the back of his neck. I nodded and went to the bathroom.

Ugh! I exclaimed in frustration as I couldn't undo my wedding gown. I took a deep breath and tried again, but I couldn't manage to undo it as much as I tried. I bit my lower lip, thinking while looking at myself in the mirror. I didn't have another choice; I should ask Cody's help. I sighed and called Cody.

"Yes?" Cody said behind the door.

I walked towards the door and opened it. I gulped nervously as I saw Cody shirtless.

"Umm...I... I can't undo my gown. Could you help me?" I mumbled as I finally managed to take my eyes off his killer abs.

"Sure. Turn around." He replied, giving me his charming smile as he walked into the bathroom.

I nodded and turned around, biting my lower lip nervously. His breath fanned my neck, sending shivers down my spine as he stood so close to me. I pursed my lips together, keeping the gown against my chest with my hands as his fingers brushed against my skin while he was undoing my gown slowly.

"Done!" He exclaimed as he took a step back.

"Thank you." I gave him a shy smile as I turned around, facing my gorgeous fake husband.

"You are welcome." He said huskily, looking into my eyes, his gaze intense. "Umm...I will leave you now that you...." He mumbled, looking at me lustfully.

"Umm... Yeah." I murmured nervously.

As soon as he left, closing the door behind him, I breathed deeply. After changing my clothes, I went to the bedroom. When I walked in, Cody had already changed his clothes. He was in his black sweatpants, giving me a full view of his sculpted chest. At least, he was in his sweatpants.

"What are you doing?" I asked, puzzled as I saw him walking towards the bed.

"Going to bed, but if you have other suggestions, I am in." He replied playfully and bit his lower lip, giving me a seductive look.

I rolled my eyes and stated. "We will not share a bed. You will sleep on the couch."

Sharing a bed with this sinfully handsome devil? No! It is too dangerous.

"What?! Hell no! It is so uncomfortable; I will not sleep on it. If you want, go and sleep there." He scowled childishly and pulled the cover away.

"Ugh! Fine!" I exclaimed angrily as I folded my arms over my chest.

"OK, I will sleep there." He sighed and mumbled, annoyed as he grabbed a pillow angrily. I gave him a victorious grin and walked towards the bed.

"Sweet dreams." I said, smiling as I pulled the cover over me.

"Sweet dreams." He mumbled between gritted teeth. I smiled, amused and closed my eyes.

I yawned, rubbing my eyes as I woke up. I slept like a baby last night. Suddenly, I felt something hard on my stomach. I instantly opened my eyes and saw Cody sleeping beside me, his arm wrapped around me tightly. We were tangled in each other.

"What the hell are you doing here? Why are you hugging me?" I snapped sleepily and tried to pull back as I lifted my head up.

Cody blinked and rubbed his eye as he released me. "What the hell? Why are you screaming?" He asked with his sleepy voice. A devilish smirk appeared on his face as he finally woke up fully. He leaned on his elbow and said arrogantly. "Me? Baby, it is you, who hugged me like her life depended on me, not me. I am on my side."

I frowned in annoyance and stated. "I didn't. And you were supposed to sleep on the couch, not in the bed."

"It was uncomfortable. So I slept here." He said nonchalantly. I gritted my teeth, breathing deeply. "Why should I torture myself when I can sleep in a comfortable bed with my sexy wife?" He added seductively and bit his lower lip, looking at my cleavage.

"Pervert!" I exclaimed, blushing and covered my cleavage with the cover as I sat up on the bed.

He chuckled, amused as he pulled the cover away and got up. He ruffled his hair as he walked towards the bathroom. He stopped as he held the doorknob and turned towards me.

"If you want to join me, the door is always open for you." He said in a provocative tone and winked at me. Then he walked into the bathroom without letting me say anything.

"Jerk!" I exclaimed, frustrated and bit my lower lip as I imagined us in the bathroom together, his hands all over me, his body against me while his lips devouring my mouth. I gulped in sensation as I felt hot.

Get a grip, Emily! I shook my head, trying to get rid of these dirty thoughts.

After his jet had landed in Bali, we went to our hotel. The hotel had a fitness center, a wellness area, and of course an outdoor pool and direct access to the beach with panoramic views of the Indian Ocean from all around. Our honeymoon suite had a supremely spacious bedroom on the upper level, inclusive of an en suite bathroom and balcony overlooking magical views. The lower level, on the other hand, featured a living room, kitchenette and dining area. The living room also opened up to your private pool and lounging terrace where we could enjoy the perfect aqua-blue waters. The suite was also an eco-friendly accommodation - almost all the furnishings and materials used in the decor were sustainable and of the highest quality.

After settling down, we went to have dinner. We were talking while enjoying Indonesian cuisine. Once we finished having dinner, we went to our suite. I felt so tired.
