Hi Ya'll, you must have noticed the chapter are somewhat shorter than my usual, I've been advised to publish them that way, (it costs less) and it's why things have been somewhat slow, Please bear with me. xoxo.
My breath skips in my lungs, and I can hear my heart beating in my throat, is it strange that even after nearly two years, the thought of him still makes my heart beat faster, makes me squirm with butterflies like a fifteen year old with a crush? Swiping my tongue over my bottom lip, I lean back slightly. “I have a meeting in a few minutes, I came here looking for earbuds, I can't find mine” In fact it should already be time as I've spent the last ten minutes looking at pictures and walking down memory lane. “Top right drawer” He thumbs the underside of my ribcage, just beneath my breast and tingles spread down my spine. Getting ahold of myself I clasp the golden handle, dragging the drawer open, I immediately see the black case of his earbuds, snatching them up and making to slip out from under his arms murmuring a thank you. I don't get very far before I'm spun around fingers tighten around the back of my thighs and I'm deposited on the table, his lips claiming mine in a way th
When I woke up the next morning I changed and went down for a swim, either I missed Vincent or he didn’t show, by the time I came back and showered it was almost seven. When I go to take my phone from where it’s charging on the nightstand, I notice a black velvet box. A wide smile pulls at my lips. I’m almost blinded by the sparkling diamonds when I pop it open, my breaths hitching in my lungs. Since the first time, whenever Niko travels he buys me jewelry, a pair of earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and hair adornments, never rings though, I once asked why he hasn’t gotten me any rings and he said; the only ones you need are the ones that proclaim you taken by me, anything else will serve as a distraction. Holding it up with one hand to the light I admire my new piece, wow. It’s beautiful. Picking up my phone I call him. He answers on the first ring. “I saw your present, why didn’t you show me earlier?” I asked grinning ear to ear. “I got distracted by other things” he answer
“Yes sir” Maria abandoned the clothes she was still tending to and immediately disappeared in the direction of the nursery. His eyes are dark when he e holds a hand out to me “Come here.” My heart skips in my chest but I keep dancing slowly as though I am unaffected by the tone of his voice and the look in his eyes. Stark hunger. I feel heat in my cheeks, spreading down my chest, making the tips of my breast tingle. Now that we’re alone I exaggerate the movement of my hips bending slightly to fold two more clothes before I turned to him, looking at him from beneath my lashes “Want to dance with me swetie?” Any ounce of patie
Niko left moments after Caela calmed down that day, with him gone, I took a cold shower to calm down my raging hormones and made a note to inform Andrea to prescribe birth control the next time she comes by. For now, I placed an order for condoms. Scrolling to the bottom to click onextra largefeeling silly but something tells me Niko won’t hearwaitthe next time he has me beneath him. Best be prepared. The children must be having it in turns because Calea is up napping while Angel seems to think his lungs need the exercises, It's Saturday and the ladies are here for a visit, Maria has taken Sebby to the kitchen for a snack. And I try
Upstairs, I get a bottle and glass from the kitchen before making my way to the bathroom, I start the bath while undressing. Tossing in some bath bombs and rose oils to help me relax. I put my hair up in a loose bun, shoving about half a dozen bobby pins to hold it in place, and pour a generous portion of wine before stepping into the hot water. My headache felt better almost immediately. I make quick work of that glass and pour another one, sipping slowly this time. My eyes fall shut and I lean back against the tub. I must have dozed a little because when I opened my eyes Niko was kneeling by the tub, one hand disturbing the now lukewarm water “Sleeping inside the tub baby, should I ask Maria to start watching you again?” I poke my tongue at him before picking up my glass and drawing a sip of sweet wine. “I didn’t mean to doze off” “Maria tells me you weren’t feeling well” his fingers play with water but I'm so far away I dont feel anything.“Just needed a power nap is all.” I shru
I grimaced, “My goodness, was there an accident? I hope no one got hurt?” Fires are nasty, I shuddered just thinking about one I saw on the news a few weeks back, another reason I don’t watch the news, it’s full of sad depressing things, and while I feel for the innocent people getting hurt, it’s a lot to take. I paused looking back at Vincent my heart pounds in my chest. “An-and what does that have to do with Niko?” I was just asking about him and Vincent mentioned an explosion my brain began to work ten steps ahead was he-did he- I blinked repeatedly trying to find my voice, I ask slowly “…You think he was there?”No longer trying to smile, Tommy takes my hands, his eyes sharp “We don’t know, he was meant to inspect some shipments-“ His words do nothing to calm my rising anxiety, the floor moves from beneath me, only Tommy's hands on my arms around me or I'd have fallen, my stomach tightens and bile rises in my throat I pull from him “But he’s not answering his phone, you think so
“Here, let me take him” Maria offers, stretching her hands for Angelo, I shake my head, hugging him closer. Needing the comfort of holding my baby."You are agitating him Lola" She comes to take him again but I turn with him him my arms though I know she is right.“Shhh, my baby” I kiss his hair, “Mama isn’t crying okay, I’m sorry” he blinks wide blue eyes at me, blurry from tears. I lay his head to rest on my shoulder, patting his back gently, the action soothing me as well. My eyes fall shut and I pray. God, please bring him home to me. With a hand on my side, Maria leads me back to the chair. “I’m sure we will hear from them soon” and I nod in reply.Every few seconds my eyes fall to my phone, I want to pick it up and call Vincent but I reason that they may be in the middle of it and I could be distracting.It’s almost an hour later when I hear voices travel in through the partly opened door. Ivan goes to investigate the noise.My heart jumps to my throat, I get up slowly, my han
We kiss, my fingers tunneling in his hair, one hand grips the nape of my neck, the other bunches in my dress, pulling upward, he leans fully into me, thrusting his hardness into my belly. My mind finally returns to my body and I pull back slightly, “You are injured, w-we shouldn’t” His hands glide down my throat, the one on my nape combes through my hair, his soft lips place a sweet kiss on my right cheek, then the left, my hands grasp his sides softly, avoiding the bandage so I don't hurt him as he kisses the tip of my nose, a sigh leaves me, eyes falling shut as he kisses my lids then my forehead, his nose dragging over my skin and hair as he pulls me into him until there's not an inch of space between our bodies. “We absolutely should” He coaxed, hands caressing my skin lightly, my body awakens, the fright and upset taking a back seat as heat spreads across my skin, down my belly, settling between my legs. His skin feels so warm beneath my fingertips, and my palms go around his
