Epilogue

"Paris?!" She exclaimed when she looked at their ticket.

"Stop yelling honey, you're becoming the center of attraction." He whispered.

"I or we?" He shrugged. "Nevertheless, how did you know that I wanted to go to Paris?"

"I asked you remember. At the restaurant? You said it was a pretty city and I took it that you always dreamed of coming here but don't worry, we have other countries to visit.” Her lips released a scream.

"Other countries!" She exclaimed for the nth time and he was forced to look around. She envelope him in a tight hug.

"Thank you!" He smiled when he regained himself." I don't know what I would do without you"

"Probably nothing, but—ouch!"

"Spoiler!" She pinched his nose but ended up laughing at his expression and later on, he joined her too.

"I love you," She told him and this time, the smile he gave was not his signature smirk, it was not sly and he replied with a lot of emotions running through him.

"I love you too sweetheart."

***

She exclaimed a wow when she got down from their car. Paris was beautiful, especially at night.

He pulled her first to a food stand to get a taste of one of Paris' best.

Souvlakis.

He waited till she tasted it. "Like it?" She nodded in approval having two more in her hands.

"Let's go?" She equipped herself with one more before walking behind him.

They entered their reserved car again next to the mall.

He pulled her in almost immediately. Not wanting to waste any more time for the night was a long one.

***

"And here we are."

"Erm, Daniel, did you get lost? In case you haven't noticed, this is a women's lingerie shop."

"And a woman is standing beside me." Her eyes widen in realization.

"No, no, oh no!" But he wouldn't listen.

"Do you need something sir?" A lady asked him.

"Take care of her for me." He gently pushed her to the lady's hold and turned away. The first thing that met his eye was a beautiful diamond glittering shoe. He admired it from afar, contemplating whether she would like it. Without any more thoughts, he smiled and went for it.

He walked into the store and they were quick to attend to him. He pointed to the shoe before walking further to check it out properly. He took out the price tag.

Definitely not sure she should see it.

He tore it off before saying to the person in charge, "Pack it up for me."

Clarissa took her head only, out of the curtains before whispering.

"Erm, a little help, please?" The two ladies in charge stopped their discussion and turned to her.

***

She had her head to his chest and he had his arms around her as they rode to their hotel.

"I never knew Paris was this beautiful."

"It is beautiful." He commented and she turned to him with a smile.

"What are you holding in your hand?" She asked.

"Oh this? It's just a little something I got when you got busy." He told her.

"Show me, what's in the bag?" He handed it over to her and she immediately brought out the content of the bag.

"Oh my Goodness! This is really nice where did you get this?"

"At the mall obviously,"

"You don't have to get me everything Daniel."

"I find that very offensive. How can you say that? You are my darling wife and I'm going to spoil you do you understand?" She only reached to lock their lips in reply and he wasted no time in deepening the kiss.

"Thank you so much." He smiled at her and she resumed admiring the shoe.

"Hey Daniel. I don't see any price tag on it. How much is it worth?"

He scratched the back of his neck nervously. "Actually, It didn't come with a price tag." He lied.

"That's unusual, all tangible mall purchased items come with a price tag."

"This is different!" She sighed and dropped the shoe back into the bag.

"What are you not telling me?"

"What do you mean?" She rolled her eyes at his acting.

"How much did it cost you Daniel?" He hesitated before sighing and telling her. Her eyes widened, "you've got to be kidding me! How could you?!"

"It was a nice shoe and you like it." He told her.

"13 million? Really? That is too much!" She yelled. "We're returning it!"

"No we can't. If you don't want it, I can give it to Audora. You two are the same size in feet anyways!" He said grabbing the bag from her.

"Nonsense! Who said I didn't want it? Must you take everything so seriously?" She blurted out collecting the bag back from him and he visibly smirked.

"She wouldn't mind the price, you know?" That was a fat lie, his sister was probably worse than this.

"And I do?" Clarissa retorted and Daniel stifled a laugh.

He hugged her to himself after a while. "Where do you want to go next?"

"I don't know. I mean, tomorrow is another day... Maybe we could just head back for a while?"

"Are you tired already?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just looking after you. I can go on all night."

"Really? All night?" He raised a brow at her before shaking his head in amusement. "Stop the car!" The driver stopped.

"After you?" She climbed out of the car before he did.

"But where are we going?"

"To eat. Wouldn't want to starve my wife, would I?" He replied.

At the mention of food, her mouth watered. It was then she realized how hungry she was.

His arm held her waist as he led her to the restaurant.

"Why does this look like a Deja vu?"

He only laughed and told her. "Order whatever you want."

And that was all she needed to hear.

***

He glanced through the menu patiently awaiting the meal they were to be served. He felt a thug somewhere not quite appropriate.

He took a glance at his wife and she got too busy with her fingers. He resumed his business with a look of suspicion on his face.

He shook his head. Probably it was a mistake. He resumed checking out the rest of their menu again. Soon, he felt it again. This time, no longer at the thigh but very close to the groin. He jerked back on impulse staring wild at his wife but still she looked anywhere but him.

Then their eyes locked. "Are you alright, baby?" She purred with a low voice.

He grunted and cleared his throat before gently sitting down and mumbling a yes.

The waiters came to serve the food, and that got him to reseat himself as they dished out his food.

"Do you need any other thing sir?" Daniel shook his head.

"I'm good." He replied.

He paused when he felt the movement again but this time she wasn't even trying to pretend. She raised a brow when he turned to look at her.

"You were saying?" She urged and he groaned.

"Thank you we don't need anything, you can leave." That was when she made contact with it. He jerked but recover immediately hoping the poor waiter wouldn't notice anything. She began soothing it with her legs slowly. Daniel tightened his grip on the table unnoticeable. Finding the courage, he turned to the waiter and placed a large amount of cash in front of him. Getting up, he pulled his wife out with him.

The waiter shrugged. They hadn't even touched the meal yet.

***

"You little devil!" He called and she took off immediately giggling all the way.

"Come back here, you'll pay for that!" He could only hear her giggles.

"Rissa," He stressed and she finally stopped to catch her breath. He stopped too just behind her, hoping to recover faster.

She turned to him.

"Do you know what you just did?" He got closer but she said nothing but only wrapped her hands around his neck.

"No, but I 'need' you, to tell me what I did." His breath had become ragged as she pressed herself to him.

He wasted no time in locking their lips in a kiss. Wrapping his arm around her waist, he tugged her closer.

***

She took off his shirt, buttons after buttons. Taking hold of his face in between her hands, she smiled at him. Not waiting any longer, she leaned down and brought their lips together in a kiss. Returning the feeling, he hooked both hands under her thighs, picking her up effortlessly.

She smiled amidst their kiss and wrapped her legs around his waist. She felt her dress loose behind her.

Dropping her on the bed, he easily slipped that later of clothing off. She felt a smile slip through when she saw his expression.

"You wore one," he stated. His eyes scanned her body, taking in everything he could with one look.

Daniel was quiet for quite a while, his expression frightening her a bit with the intensity of it. His stare made her squirm underneath him.

"Do you like it?" He immediately looked back up.

"Fuck," she smiled in return, kissing his cheeks and down to his torso but he leaned and took her lips in a kiss, frantic and rough.

His hands ran down her flesh slowly until he decided to tug on the material.

"Daniel—"

"As much as I like it, I need to get rid of it." He said with a hushed voice. She gasped as the plain lingerie she was able to purchase was ripped off her. Gently pulling her legs apart, he went closer as their tongues desperately lapped against each other.

He felt her freeze when he entered her. Clinging into him, she felt a familiar sensation run through her. He gave a little time for her to get used to him over again before driving into her roughly. She wrapped her hands around the sheets as he drove in her repeatedly. Her hands gripped the sheets tightly as her hips involuntarily arched into him wanting more. Trailing her hands up, she gripped his hair rather roughly, moaning as he drove in deeper.

When her body began to shudder and tremor, he increased his pace and strokes letting out a groan. She brought her hips up to meet his pace half way as he strokes went with so much intensity until she could not take hold back any more.

"Oh my God!!" She gasped as they eventually came. He collapsed on her with his face buried in the curve of her neck. He slowly moved away as they both stared at the ceiling trying to catch their breath.

"I know one thing for sure, I'm in love with your body." He said and her body shook as she chuckled.

"I love you Clarissa," she turned to find him staring at her with affection.

She smiled. "And I love you too Daniel."

"Don't think I'm done with you yet," her eyes widened in realization.

"What?!" Clarissa exclaimed.

"You have to pay the price for disrupting out little dinner somehow." He smiled.

"Is that so?" She chimed with a cheeky grin. She rolled over and planted herself on top of him. "So where were we?"

***

"Hey," Clarissa took off her glasses to give a brown head her attention. The man who was bold enough to approach her, had credits for his looks obviously. He had attractive set of hazel eyes. They weren't compared to her favorite pair of green ones but she listened for the fun of it.

"Yes, do you want something?" Immediately she said this, Daniel turned to the both of them from where he purchased his own sunglasses.

"Are you with someone?"

"Oh, my 'friend' is just by the corner. He was just dropping me off. Is there something you want?" She threw a cunning smile at her husband, who scoffed at the gesture.

"Can I have your number?"

This was interesting.

"Well, of course. Do you have a pen and paper?"

"The door opposite her slammed shut, signaling that Daniel had gotten in, and he didn't waste time in raising the glass of her door and speeding off.
