Chapter 6

Cruella brought two glasses of gin and placed them on the table in front of them. Isaac had already set the board game and he was waiting for her. That night they wanted to try doing something different. Cruella had the idea of playing a game of monopoly and Isaac couldn't refuse even though he knew all too well how competitive Cruella could be.

"It's time for you to lose, darling!" she said having her competitive mode on

"I wouldn't bet on that!", Isaac replied with a tone of amusement in his voice.

They started playing and Cruella was winning. Okay, she wasn't actually winning. She would have lost everything from the first fifteen rounds or so, but Isaac looked the other way and let her "cheat". He knew how she loved to win. And he didn't really mind if he lost. Besides, he was quite curious of what Cruella would have him do, since the deal was that whoever lost would do anything the winner asked –within reasonable limits, of course-.

''I won!'' Cruella exclaimed, full of excitement.

''I guess you did...'' he said pretty serious, trying not to chuckle

''So... that means you'll do whatever I say. Isn't that right, darling?''

''Right.'' Isaac said, amused but nervous at the same time.

"Mmmm... I think I'm going to decide on that later" she said playfully. "For now, I suppose we can do something we both want..." she implied looking at him with those blue eyes.

She came closer and kissed him intensely. They both lay on the floor. They found clothes unnecessary so they got rid of them immediately. She put her hands around his back and continued kissing him hard. Slowly, he stroked her neck, her shoulders, the smooth length of her arms... then he went down her breasts and legs...

She was sleeping soundly on his chest and Isaac couldn't take his eyes off her. He did that every night. It was his personal, nightly ritual. He spent hours just looking at her. She had changed a lot -both physically and emotionally- since their first meeting. He didn't mind, though. She was as beautiful as she ever was. He liked watching her true self even though she wasn't the best person in the world. However, he couldn't help but be impressed by the fact that Cruella hadn't mentioned anything about killing for the past two weeks or so.
Cruella opened her eyes and caught Isaac looking at her.

"Why are you looking at me, darling?" she asked tired.

"Because you are beautiful". A wide, bright smile lit up his face.

She chuckled. ''Do you honestly believe that?'' she asked ironically

''Of course I do'' he said and kissed her forehead.

She didn't say a word. She just snuggled up to his chest and tried to fall asleep once again.
No one could describe how much he loved her. Despite all the fighting and arguing they often had, Isaac had recently discovered with amazement that he actually loved that part of their relationship also. They were so different and that was exactly what kept this relationship "alive". They both tried new things. They both made compromises. They both tried really hard for this to work. And it did work. Much to everyone's surprise, and especially theirs, Cruella and Isaac had been together for almost three whole months. It wasn't too long, but for them, it was a remarkable achievement.

Okay I know this is too fluffy, but really I couldn't help myself. Thank you so much for the support! I would like to hear everyone's opinion even if it is negative. See you in chapter 7 :)
