He kissed my soft lips over and over again, as I woke up to a strong hand underneath me and a gentle hand caressing my wisps of hair. He kissed my neck as it tingled and I fought off his loving kisses, yet again.
"It's time to wake up", he reminded me as he kissed me and pulled me on top of him, as I fit perfectly along his chest, I was his missing puzzle piece and he was mine. He began tickling me as I laughed along with him and he smiled.
"I'm awake", I broke out laughing as he stopped tickling me and we laid still as he slipped out of bed leaving me cold, as I begged him to come back.
"Why did you leave me, I need your warmth", I demanded him back as he slipped a white-collar shirt and began buttoning up. I got up to help him do his tie, as he held it out for me.
"I have a meeting and you have a cup of tea with my mom, she simply wants to talk over tea with you and Avery, it's the strangest thing I've heard but then again I thought girls actually go to the bathroom to powder their noses", he said as I looped his tie and straightened it out planting a little mellow kiss on his cheek and he kissed me, then left for the bathroom.
"Did you get the tickets?", I asked as I picked my outfit for the tea, and he quickly brushed his teeth.
"Yes, and I didn't get Leah one if that's why you're asking", he said as he went downstairs to the kitchen as he began to make breakfast.
I put on some sweatpants and made my way downstairs, his cooking was a phenomenon that happened every morning, but it was a blessing to watch. He would taste the batter with a lick of his fingers and when the steam was rising into his head, he would breathe it in instead of backing away. Gosh, what were we waiting for, I was getting damn tired of 'the special moment'. I had already tried to seduce him and he had turned me down so quickly that I knew he had already had something planned.
"Avery texted and said she was going to give you a ride and she'll drop you back home, you can stay home today there's really nothing and Ms. Swenson will send you the details for your schedule, she said you could stay home, I think she was hoping I would stay home with you. ", he added as he laid out the pancake batter and flipped them as I made him a cup of coffee.
"You sound like my personal assistant", I joked as he could probably be and it was simply funny everyone who needed to get ahold of me, would always go through him maybe that's because I have a phone that I use every month once.
"I could be, but then again your assistant would get very upset she's grown a liking to you and I think you have too", he commented as I knew where it was heading too. A rant about my unprofessionalism, we had this talk many times before of why I call her "Caroline", instead of "Ms. Swenson", I always tell him it's too long, but he keeps bringing it up so I've learned to keep the Ms. Swenson in front of him and away from him I end up snorting and falling on the ground laughing with Caroline.
"She's really sweet, shes not a hillbilly and she's one of my best friends", I convinced him as I slid onto the counter as he served the pancakes on the plate.
"Eat, and drink", I pushed the food he tried to serve me as I knew if he had given me any more time I didn't need, he would be late.
"Oh, don't forget a lucky lady has a date tonight around 7, and that lady will be met here by the man she loves at exactly 7", he said precisely as he took the pancake and ate it as I poured his coffee in a reusable coffee cup and gave it to him. Did I really need 5 hours to get ready, no?
"She seems very lucky", he nodded as he rushes out of the door, he left without a kiss, I run to the door to see him drop his briefcase as he runs towards me and leaves an everlasting kiss on my lips.
"Oh yes she is, I love you, princess", he left with a wide smile and so I looked at the time of the clock, realizing it was 6, he wouldn't be late. I cleaned up the pancakes leaving a couple for myself and putting the rest away. I washed up and crawled back into bed, of the comfort of the warm sheets and the smell of his elegant cologne.
I woke up an hour later, with dings coming from my computer and all of the things I hated about technology came back with a burning passion. I opened my laptop as an email had been sent to me of my schedule laid out in times, even with my date.
I honestly ask myself sometimes how she does it, she truly is always on top of her game, but how did she know, that definitely would've been awkward. I can just imagine that conversation happening, Avery filling in the date and time, in a hurry as no small talk filled the space. I clicked through some projects and clientele profile.
I ran downstairs for coffee as my eyelids began to close and it was only 8 in the morning. I started getting ready for the day ahead as I was confused about what tea meant. I had never been the girls who had tea with their mothers and who went shopping on a daily basis, my mom and I went window shopping and we never complained about it, we had the money, but Daniel never let us spend it.
I poured the already boiling coffee into my mug, as I took a step out on the balcony admiring the view that many would love to witness, where the people looked like ants and the skyscrapers were eye-level.
I drank it up as I stepped back in to feel the wind close behind me and I went upstairs to take my well-deserved shower. I put on my playlist and hooked it up to the speakers in the shower, and from then I relaxed upon till the door for the bedroom opened. I panicked, I was half-naked, well the half was covered by water, but still. I pranced out of the shower leaving trails of water droplets behind me, I draped a towel along myself and prayed to god, that there was no one and just my silly imagination. I opened the door slowly as I heard rummaging in the closet, I grabbed my curling iron, which had been warming up and I made my way towards the closet with the steaming iron in my hand. I walked towards the closet in stealth mode, and there I saw ahead like no others and my towel nearly dropped.
"Oh god, you scared me", I heaved as I placed the iron down on the vanity, and ran to him. He looked at the voice he had heard and he smiled. I hugged him dearly, feeling his scarce chest rubbing against mine and he kissed my neck as he carried me.
"Hi, baby", he said as he caressed my cheek and smoothed out my wet hair. He kissed my ear lobe as I held onto his neck, loving every moment of this sensational feeling.
"You didn't tell me you were coming home, I was just about to wack you with my curling iron", I said as I pointed at the steaming curling iron and he laughed as he held me close to him.
"I forgot, I thought you would be gone by now", he said as he held onto my back, as I began feeling his hardon against me and I knew maybe this was the time to act on it.
"What if I dropped my towel and we made love", the words blurred out of me as he looked at me with serious eyes, and he kissed my forehead.
"Not going to happen", he said as he looked away and he placed me down as he turned around and took off his shirt, he seemed embarrassed by it.
"I can help", I said as I reached for his back and he moved so that I wouldn't touch him, I knew he couldn't help himself, but I was offering myself to him and he kept refusing.
"I want it to be special", he turned around and interlocked his hands with mine and he kissed my lips softly.
"When? you walking around the house is killing me", I exaggerated as a smile formed on his face and he smiled as he kissed me yet again.
"It's way harder for me, you defy me every moment we have, you didn't dare to look down there when you were mad and now you're asking if you can help, what will I do with you Mrs. Clementé?", he looked down at my admiring eyes and he moved the wisps of my hair across my face and I blushed madly. He was right, I had made him mad, frustrated he had given me opportunity after opportunity to seduce him and I hadn't.
"Learn to deal with it", I said as he shook his head and picked me up yet again, with him feeling even harder than he was before.
"I really do think it's time for you to change", he glanced at the clock as 10:30 hit the time and I knew I had only 20. minutes to get ready. I kissed him as I ran into the closet, putting on the white sundress I had picked out and beige heels. I picked out a necklace as Nolan came around in his suit and tie as he was leaving right after me. He picked up the necklace that sat on the counter as I started on my makeup.
"May I?", he moved back my curled hair and kissed my neck as he sucked on it. He went all around my neck and I knew what he had been doing, but I didn't stop him, he finally clasped the necklace together as I applied my mascara and matte lipstick.
"Now everyone will know your mine", I looked at my neck which was filled with large hickeys in every spot I hadn't expected them to go all around.
"Nolan, everyone already knows I'm yours", I pointed at my still shining wedding ring and he kissed my hand smoothly.
"I love you and that won't ever stop, and I wanted to show the world, but I bet you can find something to cover it up, I don't want my mom to think I've been abusing you", he kissed my neck softly as he ravaged through my jewelry box and found a pearl necklace, which was fake, and he strapped it on.
"See", he said as I looked at the pearls which tried so hard to cover the hickeys up, but unfortunately he had left them bigger, each spot had a little of redness showing.
"You have just a too big mouth", I said secretly admiring his idea of marking me and making me his. His possessive side, shined brightly and he wasn't ashamed he was very proud of it.
"I can do other things with this mouth too", his hands snaked down to my thigh as I gasped loudly and he smiled at the effect he had on me.
"You're all talk, prove it", I one-upped him as I knew he loved this side of me, the side where I showed I wasn't afraid to speak out about anything that bothered me.
"Oh I will", he pushed up against me as there wasn't any room between us and his hands were on my hips holding me still.
"When?", I asked breathtakingly, he was all talk until the moment he could prove it to me.
"Soon", he left with just a breeze as he made his way downstairs and I grabbed my bag and we left right behind him.
"Avery's here", he said as he put his phone away and watched me walk down the stairs he seemed breathless and he made me feel that way.
"You are beautiful", he said reminding me of the first time he said that to me we were in the boutique, and I had pranced around in my mom's dress as he walked in and told me I was beautiful.
"What are the red spots on your neck", he said as we locked the door and went to the elevator, I smiled and he laughed. He held my hand, lightly as we exited the elevator where we were finally alone.
"Someone just had to make sure I was branded", I rolled my eyes as he kissed my hand and I saw Avery leaning up against a limo as she waved erratically at me.
"And who is this person?", we had gotten closer to the car and he spun me around as he stared at me in the parking garage.
"You", I kissed his lips as he seemed pleased with himself and I rolled my eyes at him as he smiled at the thought.
"Did you just roll your eyes at me?", he asked as I shrugged to him and he kissed my lips pulling away fast, he gave me a hug as he whispered a vial message in my ear, and he sucked on my earlobe.
"That deserves a punishment, Love you baby", as the words pierced my ear and he let go. I walked away as he slapped my butt and he gave me an endearing look as he made his way to his car.
"And what was that?", she asked me as the driver opened the door for us and we made our way into the limo, with me grinning like a total idiot.
"Just one of the perks of being in love", I spoke truthfully as my hair brushed against my back, and she sat at the opposite side of me, she stared at my neck as I looked down at my neck wondering what she was looking at.
"And what is that?", she pointed at my hickeys that shined in the sunlight and I really wanted to avoid this conversation.
"This car, how'd you get it", I said smoothly changing the subject and she laughed as if I would be able to get away with the fact that I had tried and failed to dodge a question.
"He gave you hickeys, didn't he?", she had figured it out and I had might as well tell her.
"He has this weird thing about branding me, like marking me his", I said as her ears clogged it out and I knew she didn't want to talk about it anymore.
"I heard you have a date tonight, so after our tea with mom, I'm taking you out to get a dress and makeup and shoes and manicures", she sounded excited and I knew he had come home for a reason, knowing I would be gone the whole day.
"He put you up to this, didn't he?", I joked as she smiled brightly and I knew he did.
"Yeah, but he just really wanted this date to be special", she said as I didn't really understand why.
"And how's Cole?", I asked as she flinched a bit and I could tell she was off about something. She readjusted her dress and folded the bottom of her dress nervously.
"He's been sketchy lately, he moved in with me and he's been avoiding me and making excuses", she explained as I knew it would end sourly, she was hurt. She had given him her all and he had returned her love with nothing.
"I'm sorry, what do you think you're gonna do, maybe you should talk to him?", I asked as she nodded and the driver announced we had arrived we exited the car as Avery guided me to a large ballroom, that had tables waiting to be filled. I saw Alison as I readjusted my hair, making sure my purple marks, were covered, that would be an awkward conversation.
"Girls, you look stunning, sit sit", she said as the waiter pulled our chairs out and food arrived, as we sat our butts in the chair.
"Okay, so I wanted to talk to you two about something very important", she said as she brought her hands together and she beamed at us as we smiled back at her.
"We have decided to renew our vows and I thought why not switch it up a bit and so I'd like if Avery was my maid of honor and if Natalie would be one of my bridesmaids", she said as I smiled and we both said yes in a heartbeat as she gave us hugs and we sat back down.
"Ouch, what happened", Allison asked as Avery started laughing beside me which didn't make the situation better.
"Nolan's been a very naughty boy", Avery snorted as Alison still looked just as confused as in the beginning.
"He gave me those", I pointed as Alison burst out into tears and so did Avery as I joined in.
"He's always been possessive when he was little he used to mark all his books with a special stamp and you had to get his seal of approval if you wanted to look at it", Alison spoke as Avery reminisced and when I got home I would have to slap him for this.
"Of course no one wanted too, because they were all on the stars, and no one was into astronomy", Avery joked as I could only imagine him as a child. He was possessive of me because he loved me and I loved the feeling.
"I'm guessing Leah is ready to be a flower girl?", I asked trying to change the subject other than my affairs with my husband. Don't get me wrong I love sharing, but there's a part of me that wished he had kept it secret, I would've loved to run my finger across it and just imagine the moment he gave it to me but right now I would just be looking like I was beaten alive.
"She's been practicing for weeks", we joked as we continued going through our list of all the things we needed to get done before the big day, I had felt loved but not only by the men who begged me to come back to bed but my friends and family who I could never replace.
"Alright, well it's time to get going she has a date tonight and I've been hired to get her all classy", we left saying goodbye to one another as Alison left, Avery guided me down the street.
"Where are we going?", I asked her as she kept pointing me in these funny directions and I was beginning to think we were walking to get kidnapped. She opened the door to a large spa which was surprisingly vacant.
"Ladies she's here", girls popped out from nowhere all with makeup utensils in hand or shampoo in another and a clothes rack came out behind the curtain.
"This is Naomi, she will take care of your makeup, this is Clara, she will pick your outfit, Fitzi, and Fila for hair and Chloe for jewelry, Mitzi for nails and me, well I'm support and shoes", I looked around at the gleaming girls, who were acting as if they were ready to pounce.
"It's only 3, we have 4 hours that's enough time", I explained to her as she gasped and so did the other girls they rushed me to the chairs as one girl did my measurements, the other 2 did my hair, the other did my nails and they were all running around.
The third hour finally comes by as I'm aching to move and I'm finally almost done, the last and most important part was my dress and I was asked to try them on. I went back and forthcoming back with a group of no's. I tried on a dark red dress, and I loved it. I walked out and everyone said yes in a heartbeat, after admiring it for a second, they sat me back down, fixed my hair found shoes and jewelry and added eyeshadow to match my dress.
"How do you like it?", Avery asked as they stuck me in front of a mirror as the other girls peeked behind her and I was shocked, I felt beautiful.
"I love it, I look different a good different", I said admiring myself as I twirled in the mirror and pleasured sighs filled the air all tired from their work of art.
"Thank you girls all of you", I thanked them all as the admired each little detail that meant the most to me.
"You can't be late come on", Avery screamed as the car was waiting outside the spa, and the girls waved goodbye as I climbed into the car.
The car ride was lonely, I began thinking of the strangest things, well not the strangest things. I hadn't even asked Avery and I had wished I didn't, was tonight the special night.
"Ma'am, we are here", the door opened as Mr. Johnson stood there as the driver walked away and drove back in his car, he took my hand and led me dearly.
"He's very excited", Mr. Johnson told as I was too, I could feel the goosebumps rising in my body, I loved this man with all my heart but he still had the power to make me feel like my heart was going to explode.
"I am too, where is he", I asked as he didn't say a word and guided me up the stairwell and there he left without a word as I walked in and there was my knight in shining armor. He stood with his back facing me as the lobby led a path of flower petals and as he heard the door close behind me. He turned around, his hair went a sudden way and his eyes darted towards me as I felt breathless as he stared me down and I bit my lip in anticipation.
"Holy fuck, you're beautiful", he said making me blush as he held out his hand at the end of the staircase and I couldn't wait for the night ahead of us. He led me to the car as we deeply kissed. Mr. Johnson opened the door for us and we stepped inside.
I hugged against him and I leaned into him as he smelled of fresh cologne. He kissed my forehead as he played with my fingers.
"I want to spread the rest of my life with you", I said as he smiled and kissed my forehead over and again.
"Darling we are here", he said as I put my head up and realized I had been carried out of the car sleeping. I got down as I straightened out my dress and he kissed my head. He held my hand as we walked into an empty restaurant.
"I love you", he said as I kissed his loveable lips and we were seated in the empty vicinity. The food came out as everything had already been preordered. He poured wine into my glass as I drank it graciously.
"This is all too much", I said as I looked at the decorated lights above us and the vibe that hung from the ceiling.
"Nothing is too much for the women you love", he said as he held my hand passionately and I blushed madly as he fed me a bite of the appetizer.
We began talking about our future together as it was simply here and this was where we would decide what our life would lead too. We had finished up dinner and were just eating up the tasty soufflé they had our share.
"I have to ask if your father hadn't wanted you to work for him, what would you be?", he asked as the question always wondered through my mind and I always circled back to the thing that kept me content with the world.
"A journalist, when I was little I wrote reports for my local library and my mom would tell them to her classes", I remembered as he smiled at me and I knew he would ask to read one.
"So why don't you, you have me I make enough money for the both of us, online classes are available", he said as I couldn't believe what was coming out of his mouth my dream could be true and I could have my happy ever after.
"I don't know what to say, I want to be a journalist badly, and I would still want to work", he calmed me down as he smoothed my hand out and he smiled at me soothingly.
"How come you didn't pursue this early on, your father would've understood", he asked as my smile faded away, he wouldn't let me leave my home, let alone, he would make me work and I wasn't allowed to get another job, I just worked and even when I ran I didn't have time to pursue anything, because every moment I had I would be trying to get an apartment or an appointment with an investigator who could find my sister.
"You okay", he asked me as he snapped me back to reality and I looked at the wonderful man that was in front of me and I could only wonder when this is all over.
"Yeah, I was just thinking, I wanted to please him, so I worked and hoped to take over his company when I grew older I wanted to make him proud of me", I explained as he nodded his head, I assumed he had done the same thing except he had a larger passion he didn't take over his father's company he started his own one and I know he owes all his success to his father.
"Is he proud of you now?", he asked as the soufflé ended as he gave me the last bite as I ate it and enriched the sensually it gave me.
"I hope he is", I whispered as Nolan took the plates back to the table and as he walked away, I wondered when would it be over, how close was I to cracking this, how close was I to get my sister back who's somewhere in the foster system. He would never let her get adopted, he would never let her have that happiness.
" Will you dance with me", he extended his hand out to me as I took it and pulled myself up. He kept his hand on my back as he ushered me towards our simple dance floor.
"The moment I saw you, I knew you would be the love of my life", he whispered into my ear as we danced hand in hand following each other's every move.
"That was our first kiss and mine", I added as every now and then Iw like laugh at the situation, it doesn't normally happen like that your first kiss is with the same person you marry.
"I love the idea that your pure and only mine and no other men have touched you", he said as I admired his possessive side and he loved the pure me.
"I wish I could say the same", I snarlingly added as he chuckled in my ear and he smiled.
"All I know is that you will be the first kiss that mattered and the last kiss I'll ever have", he said as he kissed my lips and held me tight, just enough to hold me down as he brushed back my hair behind my ears.
"Thank you baby, but I'm ready to head home and snuggle all night with you", I said as he jumped at the idea and we left in a hurry and we kept going as we reached the car and I fell asleep in his arms.
"Hi", I woke up cheerfully as Mr. Johnson pulled into the garage and Nolan was busy on a call, he kissed my head as he went on and on about the security of the company I wanted to ask him if he was alright but he seemed to be agitated.
"Mrs. Clementé", Mr. Johnson cleared his throat as he opened the door for me and I got out as the door shut as Nolan stayed behind and I knew he would be going back to the office.
"He seems agitated", I noted as Mr. Johnson nodded and we went to the elevator.
"I can walk myself up, you can take him to the office", I insisted as he held the elevator open for me.
"Mrs. Clementé, Mr. Clementé has told me to make sure you had gotten to the house just fine", he said as the elevator dinged and it opened up to the house and there was Mrs. Johnson as she grabbed her stuff in hand and walked with Mr. Johnson.
"I was going to plan something for Nolan when he gets back and..", I mumbled as they got the idea and they smiled at me.
"We understand I'll be back tomorrow to clean the house, believe it or not, we were kids once sneaking around just like you", they left leaving me in a penthouse alone longing for a body who would show me love, and I knew he wasn't going to
be back for a while.
I changed into a lingerie set, I had recently purchased with the help of Avery, who didn't seem bothered picking a set that her brother would see.
I came back downstairs as I melted chocolate chips and Nutella and dipped them as they coated the strawberries and I stuck them in the refrigerator. I cuddled up against the couch as I waited patiently for him to arrive.
Three am rolled right around the corner as I started to get worried about where he was, I wouldn't call him as I didn't want to bother him but that didn't mean I wouldn't worry like crazy. I waited and waited trying so hard to keep my eyelids from shutting, but they gave in eventually.
