My Husband is My Professor and Boss

"Because these marks remind me of that night that I try to forget every day." The pain in her heart was flashing in her narrow voice. "I'm afraid of these scars." She flapped her eyelids to prevent tears from coming out of her eyes. This was not new for Max. He was very well aware of her feelings. But still, her words were like thorns that touched his heart. But still, he wanted her to come over her fear. He let go of the grip on her chin and placed his same warm palm on her cheek.     

"Look at me." He whispered in a low voice, but because of the closeness between them, she could hear easily. She lifted her eyelids and met her eyes with his beautiful green eyes.     

"You have to fight with this fear of yours. You have to face it."     

"But how. I also want but I have no courage." Yes, it was true. And that's why she had questioned Max a few moments before about her scars. And it was true that she did not dare to face the situation. She had tried this before but failed each time.     

"Look into the mirror."     

" But..."     

"Shh..." He put his finger on her lips and quieted down her. "I am with you." He brought his face down and kissed her on the forehead. "Just for me Princess. Please. I don't want to see the same fear in your eyes again and again."     

She turned her face with a heavy heart and looked in the mirror. But again the same words came out of her mouth. "It's ugly."     

"No," Max replied as soon as the word ugly came out of her mouth. "It's so beautiful."     

"How can you say that?"     

"Because I know." He brought his free hand on her back. Then he strode his long finger down, placing it on top of the scars. "Look, The curve of those scars. It's like a thorny branch that always protects the rose. And that rose is you." He paused for a moment, "The delicate and beautiful rose in my life that I have to protect. Without that rose my life is odourless. Without that rose my life is meaningless."     

Raina's wide eyes were glued on the mirror. Max's words had taken her by surprise.     

Ever since she came into the relationship, whenever she felt that she knew Max very well, Max's actions proved her wrong every time. And she felt like another Max was standing in front of her again whom she didn't know at all. But each of these experiences used to be very pleasant for her.     

Today, for the first time, Raina saw beauty in ugliness just because of a Max. She lifted her free hand and led it to the mirror. She placed her fingers tips on the mirror and tracked them on the reflection of the scars.     

"Are you serious? It's doesn't look ugly?"     

"Not a little bit."     

"But...."     

Before Raina could say anything, Max picked her up from the waist with one hand, took her to a nearby glass cubicle and turned on the shower.     

When her skin suddenly came in contact with water, she gasped but immediately she relaxed in the lukewarm water and a moment they both were completely drained under the non-stop shower.     

She didn't understand why out of the blue Max did it, but for whatever reason he took her under the shower, she felt very light. She felt like new energy was being developed in her body.     

Placing her both hands on his hard and firm chest she was looking into his green eyes, unaware of that Max's little buddy saluted a long time ago when he first saw her completely soaked body on which the cotton bedsheet glued like her second skin, from which the outline of her body was clearly visible.     

Her already wet body now was looking very hot, her innocent gaze was looking directly into his eyes and the hardest thing up on all this was Max's little buddy who had knocked the salute and was ready to take action. Now it was almost impossible for Max to stop him.     

Max had never been intimate with a girl before so practically it was his first time experiencing all this. He did not know what he would do if he stayed there for even a moment longer. He decided that it would be better for him to leave. Because he thought it was the right way to reduce his rising desire and calm his little partner.     

After leaning her back against the glass wall to support her exhausted body, Max moved away from there running his fingers through his wet hair.     

Raina was confused as Max walked away without saying anything. Is he angry about something? These kinds of negative thoughts started coming to her head. But before her thoughts could conclude, the door of the washroom was opened and Max came in with two paper bags in his hand.     

He approached Raina and hung those bays on a hanger near her position. Then he looked at her. "These bags have clothes for you. Wear these after taking a shower. And yes, if you need I can call a female nurse to help you. Because it is almost impossible for me to stand in front of such appearances of yours. If I stay here for a little longer, I will not be able to control myself."     

Max's confession was like throwing cold water on her body. Her pale cheeks turned pink with embarrassment. She immediately lowered her gaze and answered in a soft voice. "No need. I'll take care."     

"Good!" Max nodded his head, "So I'm going now. I also need to change. And... and one more thing, call me when you're done... no need to come out on your own."      

After saying all this he was about to turn around when Raina called him...
