I wash my hands and roll up my sleeves, ready to prepare for Sebastianâs returnâ¦
ZAIA.
I look in the mirror, feeling all jittery and nervous. Two and a half hours have passed, and I am all ready.
I managed to have the food ready, showered myself, dressed the children, set up the welcome home banner and balloon and finally got dressed myself.
I like how I look. I think so will Sebastianâ¦
1 blush again as I touch my volumised curls. I have smoky eyes and matt red lips which I have paired with a backless, longâsleeved shimmering black dress. It reveals my legs and hugs my figure. Two glitter silver straps cross my back and Iâm wearing black heels.
I know I went all out like Iâm going on a date, but this is going to be a special night and even more so since weâll all be together.
âLook at you,â Valerie teases as I walk down the steps, making me blush all over again. âSomeone looks an absolute catch. I wonder whyâ¦â
Sheâs not in her wheelchair and although she doesnât go for too long, I like that she is walking, but Iâm glad she also knows her limits. Being a doctor, she is. responsible.
Sheâs wearing black pants and a satin blue top that has a slight plunging neckline.
I pout. âItâs nothing much,â I mumble, staring at my sparkling nude nails.
It is a bit muchâ¦but I wanted to dress up for himâ¦
âItâs not much she says.â Valerie teases, giving me a quick hug.
âAnd what about you? You look stunning yourself!â I say, admiring her once more, just as Sia runs over.
name form you âThanks, Zaia, Iâm still thinking of a good revenge payback for earlier â donât think youâre off the hook!â
she says, making me chuckle.
âIâll be waiting!â I reply as we step back, and I look down at Sia in her gorgeous pastel pink dress.
âOh, wow Mommy, you look beautiful,â Sia says, cupping her cheeks. I crouch down and hug her gently.
âSo do you, my beautiful princess.â
!!× âTheyâre here!â Valerie whispers.
My heart skips a beat as Zion comes rushing out with the party poppers. âDaddy is home!â
The four of us stand there, side by side as the door opens and the two men step inside as Valerie and Zion let off the party poppers.
âWELCOME HOME!â The three of them, along with Jai, shout, but Iâm unable to speak.
Sebastianâs eyes are fixed on me, those piercing blue eyes meet mine, heâs obviously cleaned up, fresh trim, clean clothes consisting of smart pants and a white shirt, holding his jacket over his shoulder, his other hand in his pocket as his eyes slowly look down trailing over me.
They linger on my breasts and legs, almost as if heâs undressing me with his eyes. and imagining what he wants to do with meâ¦
The moment is broken suddenly when Zion and Sia rush to Sebastian, breaking our eye contact.
âDaddy! Daddy, youâre back!â Zion says as Sia hugs his leg.
Sebastian looks down and a faint smile crosses his gorgeous features, and he crouches down, pulling them both close, a hand on the back of their heads.
âIâm back.â He says. âSorry, I took so long. Have you two been good?â
âIâm always good,â Zion says confidently, making me smile as Sia nods.
âI was good too.â She says, wrapping her arms around his neck.
He kisses her cheek. âI knew you were. I was more concerned about Zion.â
âDaddy! I was good!â Zion protests making Sebastian chuckle.
How many times do we have to be apart? Why canât we just live a life without fear of something going wrong or something happening to someone?
âHey there, beautiful ladies,â Jai says as he comes over to us. âLooking good Valerie, looking good Zaia.â He whistles, a I see Sebastian frown at him as he stands up carrying the two kids and comes over to us, giving Valerie a nod before he looks down at me.
âAre you not happy to see me? You didnât welcome me home,â he says, making me bite my lip.
His tone is serious, yet seductive. Those piercing eyes burn into me, and I open my mouth to reply when he leans closer, his lips grazing my ear.
âOf courseâ¦â I reply breathlessly.
Why does he consume me so? His scent dizzies me. Itâs an addiction, an intoxication that devours me.
âIâll await my real welcome tonight.â His husky growl makes a shiver of delight rush up my spine, and I bite my lip at his words as my eyes flutter shut.
The tingles I feel from his touch rush through me tantalizingly. His lips graze my jaw before they meet the corner of mine.
âYou look ravishing, my Alpha Queen,â he growls quietly, and I turn my face, needing a taste of his lips against mine.
My breath hitches as every sound fades away and he kisses me painfully slowly, almost as if heâs trying to control himself.
âSebastian!â
Reality suddenly returns, tearing us from one another and I step back, realising the kids are giggling.
The sound now fills my ears and I turn to see Agatha standing there laden with gifts. She looks a little teary but otherwise happy.
