The Billionaire's Bartender Bride Chapter 9: Consummating the Marriage
Lyrek-Raw desire rushed over me with every second I tasted her lips. From the moment I laid eyes on her, I have wanted to taste every inch of her. From the top of her head, down to the tips of her toes.She tasted of cinnamon and apples, making me hungry for more of her. Her hands roamed my torso with a kind of need that I felt deep into the depths of my soul. When I chased after her at the hospital, I was filled with unrecognizable panic.Now that she was in my arms, allowing me to taste her, touch her and explore her, I wasn’t going to waste a minute of it. Tightening my grip on her butt cheeks, I lifted her in my arms. Her legs circled my waist without pause.Keeping my mouth firmly against hers, I blindly moved through the house toward her bedroom. I would take her to my bed, but at this second, it was too far away. I wanted her now, with every fiber of my being.Entering her room, I stumbled slightly when my foot hit the bottom of the door frame. It hurt like a bitch, but I didn
The Billionaire's Bartender Bride Chapter 10: Nagging Feeling
Veronica-In the aftermath of what could be described as the most amazing sex of my life, I closed my eyes to enjoy the warm feeling that spread through my body. Lyrek pulled out of me, only adding to my already enjoyable feeling. Having not had an orgasm in so long, I was extremely sensitive to even just the feeling of him removing himself.As he rolled off me, I immediately missed the heat of his body. Until he laid next to me, pulling me into his arms, his hand moved to my stomach, lightly caressing it with his fingers. His touches were tender, almost loving.I didn’t know what it was about him, but he affected me in ways I didn’t understand. It had only been a couple of days and already I was happy to be lying next to him. I don’t know if it was because of the sex or if it was because he was a decent guy.Regardless, I felt like I could lay here all day and not care about a thing in the world. As much as the thought sounded good, I knew I couldn’t. There was something I cared a gr
The Billionaire's Bartender Bride Chapter 11: Clinical Trial
Veronica-Spending a few hours playing games, Andrew wore himself out. Helping him to bed, I was just finishing with tucking him in when Lyrek arrived. During the time Andrew and I spent together, I told him a little about the trial.He made me promise that I would let him be included when Lyrek came to talk to me about it. The look on Lyrek’s face didn’t seem concerning, so I didn’t see a reason to step into the hall with him beforehand. Settling myself on the side of the bed, I motioned for Lyrek to come in.“Andrew and I discussed it a bit and I think it should be okay to talk about the trial in front of him. Unless you still don’t have anything about it yet?” I spoke.“Actually, that was the exact reason I came up here. I learned more about it, so I figured I would give you the details. Dr. Nelson, the one leading the trial can explain in more depth later. I told him to wait until after I discuss it with you before I called him up.” Lyrek said before sitting on the bottom corner o
The Billionaire's Bartender Bride Chapter 12: Morning of Trial Surgery
Veronica-The next morning, after his treatments, Andrew returned to the room. Normally I would go with him, but he told me he didn’t want me to go this time. I didn’t blame him, because he was tired, and he still had a long day ahead of him.For most of the wait, I had paced the length of the room, watching the clock like a hawk. It only made the time drag out longer and caused me to become more stressed. I didn’t like not going with him, but he told me if I did, he wouldn’t be able to take a nap during his treatment.For the life of me, I never could understand how that boy could sleep while getting chemotherapy. During radiation, I couldn’t sleep, but there had been times he slept like the dead during chemo. A while back, when I asked him how he could do it, he told me it was a snooze fest.It made sense in a way, being that he has been doing it for so long. The first time he started it, it hadn’t been like that. I could still remember when he would get sick almost immediately. The
The Billionaire's Bartender Bride Chapter 13: Trial Surgery
Veronica-Not wanting to get in anyone’s way, I kept the rolling chair I was sitting on away from everyone’s work area as they prepped my brother for surgery. Not wanting Andrew to be afraid, I made sure to keep within his line of sight. He might have put on a brave face, but the moment he was swarmed with people, I could see the alarm in his eyes.Wanting to distract him, I thought about something I could do to keep his mind off what is going on around him. I was also feeling stressed, so I wasn’t sure what to say or do. So, I decided I would just ask him.“Hey Kiddo, what do you want to talk about during surgery?” I asked, but he didn’t seem to hear me.Looking to Lyrek for some clue as to what to do for him, I saw he was busy with getting his workstation set up. He must have felt me looking at him because he glanced up from what he was doing. His head leaned over to look at Andrew and it was clear he also saw the fear in his eyes.“Do you know any fun facts?” Lyrek asked, his atten
The Billionaire's Bartender Bride Chapter 14: Permanent Job
Lyrek-After taking Andrew and Veronica to the ICU, I left them alone to give them a break for a bit. I stepped in occasionally, to run a post-op on Andrew, which he continued to pass with excellence. It still bugged me that I didn’t know if he was given the drug or the saline.Until I ran more tests, I was flying blind on if this would work long enough for me to find a way to resect the tumor. I felt inspired enough to try, now I needed to find a way in and out without killing him, or worse. The more time I spent with her little brother, the more I wanted to save him.Not just because my wife wanted me to, but because I wanted to do it. With everything he is going through, he still held a light in him that was rare among children. Seeing the way he interacted with others, one couldn’t help but feel happy just to be around him.We had spent hours together in the OR and the entire time he kept himself in check. I hadn’t been blind to the fact he was scared. What I noticed more than any
The Billionaire's Bartender Bride Chapter 15: Invitation
Veronica-A few days have passed since Andrew had his surgery. He has been doing great and recovering nicely. They moved him back into his own room this morning, which had made his day.Other than when Lyrek forced me to take a break, I stayed by Andrew’s side the entire time he was in the intensive care unit. We ended up playing games, mostly by driving the interns and nurses crazy. I hadn’t been a big fan of it at first, until Lyrek told me it was good for them.It helped boost their morale after a long and tiring day. After seeing the way everyone responded to Andrew, I lightened up and allowed him to have his fun. He kept things to a minimum, since he understood there were other patients that needed to be cared for as well.He mostly sent them on wild goose chases, by asking for something, only to change his mind. Mostly he did it with one or two of the interns that were assigned to monitor Andrew. In the beginning, the interns had freaked out, thinking they were doing something w
The Billionaire's Bartender Bride Chapter 16: Date Night
Lyrek-I have always believed Veronica was the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on. Seeing her now, made me realize she was the most beautiful woman in the world. I felt like the luckiest man alive to have found someone like her.The way the dress hugged her frame made me want to skip dinner and go straight for dessert. As much as I wanted to, I knew I couldn’t. I had planned something special for the night, so getting her into bed was going to have to wait.“Are you ready?” I asked, stepping forward, with my eyes still roaming over her body.“Y-yes.” She stammered.My gaze traveled to her beautiful face, and I could see a blush on her cheeks, causing her to appear as if she were glowing. Holding my hand out, I waited for her to take it. When she placed her hand delicately in mine, I gently pulled her toward me and linked her arm under mine.Reaching the lobby of the building, I guided her out the front door where a black car was waiting to take us to the restaurant. It wasn
