[Chapter 16]

Lumira

My sleep breaks from the alarm going off. I grab my phone off the nightstand and turn it off. It's already 7 and we should be up and start for the day.

We have to start working on the wedding preparations right away since we don't have much time now.

I look down to see Ayan sleeping with my nipple still in his mouth while his hand is touching the other.

I can't express it in words how much it relieves me, gives me immense peace and pleasure to have my lover like this. My body knows him more than my mind and it always craves him like a moth attracted to flame.

With time, I can feel my love and need to pamper him intensify. My sweet fiancé.

I'm really blessed to have found someone like him, made just for me it feels like. I can't wait to be married and officially be his, and make him mine.

"Ayan, we have to get to work. Come on, wake up." I brush his hair backwards with soft strokes till he stirs and wakes up.

He doesn't let go of my nipple right away, instead gives it a few deep suckles as if he's getting something out of them. My face heats up as I smile warmly.

Fifteen minutes later, he finally pulls away and my wet nipple's all red and hard. I cover my chest with the pajama top and get up to leave.

Before I can get out of the bed though, Ayan grabs the nape of my neck and brings me in for a rough kiss. He kisses me so hard that I feel myself clenching and getting wet. Well, he did manage to make my panties soak eventually.

"Now go." He says after pulling away and licking his lips mischievously.

Rolling my eyes fondly, I ruffle his hair and finally get out of the bed.

___________________

We couldn't meet up for the next 3 days. Both being swamped with work and the preparations. We only talked over the phone and missed each other terribly.

I need to finish up all the pending stuff and apply for a week's leave today.

I just hope I can get it since I wasn't due a leave so early.

"You still kept him a secret." My colleague, Nyssa, from next cubicle says from her chair.

"I'm really sorry, but our wedding got shifted to next week and there's literally no time." I say while typing away the files I'm supposed to put on boss' desk by 5. "You can meet him on the wedding day though."

"Why was it shifted? Everything's okay, right?" She asks with raised brows.

I now realize why Samantha was so insecure about rumors. People literally have no business except digging out invisible dirt on others.

"Yeah, everything's wrong." I say with a sweet smile and notice how her eyes sparkle with malice excitement.

That bitch.

"Tell me everything." She urges.

I take a pretentious deep breath as if in pain then turn to her, "Well, Ayan and I can't wait to fuck each other's brain out but we decided to wait for the wedding to make it more special. So, yeah." I bat my lashes innocently.

Her face visibly falls and she clenches her jaw trying to put on a fake smile.

"Oh, that-that's sweet. I- uh I should get this to boss." She says and scurries away.

Good riddance. There's literally no lackings of bitches now a days.

I'm done by 4:30 and submit the files by 4:45, then apply for my leave as well before scampering our of the office.

Amaya, Amara, my mom and Samantha are all waiting for me at the mall. So, I head right there.

Ayan was supposed to come too but he had even more loads of work.

I understand, he is the boss so he have to make sure everything was running well if he were to be absent for a week.

By the way, my fiancé owns several gaming companies and he's so into his passion, it makes me cherish him more. About how dedicated he is.

His dad used to build game models but when Ayan joined him, he brought out several more scopes and ideas, which expanded the companies worldwide.

My talented hubby.

"Lu! You made it." Amaya runs to me and hugs me. I pat her back affectionately.

"Sorry. Had to rush." I pant a little, sitting next to them in the gown shop.

"It's okay, dear. We understand. And I'm really sorry for putting you both in this haste." Samantha says apologetically, stroking my cheek.

I shake my head, "No it's fine, ma." I call her ma on purpose since I heard Ayan call her ma.

If I keep calling both mothers mom it'd be confusing.

Her eyes lit up hearing me and she kisses my cheek.

"Ma'am, your drink." A boy hands me a juice glass and I accept it with a frown.

"Samantha ordered it for you." Mom clarifies and I thank Samantha.

I'm really grateful to have a kind and loving mother-in-law.

We all get busy in shopping next. Samantha wants to get me almost everything and it's hard to stop her.

Dad arrives half an hour later and my parents buy some stuff for Ayan with the reference from his sisters and mother. Ayan's dad couldn't come because he was busy helping Ayan wrap up his work early.

Around 7:30, we all eat at the food court and I bid them farewell before heading to my condo.

I call Ayan while slipping off my heels and putting on indoor slippers, releasing a relaxed sigh since the heels were killing my feet.

"Hey, babe." I greet cheerfully, making my way to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

"Hi. Already home?" He asks and I can sense the tiredness in his tone, making me sad and worried for his health.

"Yeah, just got back. How are you? Did you have dinner?" I ask.

"Not yet. The new clients demanded a review of their offer before my leave. Might take an hour or two more." He sighs longly.

I pout, hating to see him so stressed. These clients sometimes forget that we're humans too.

"Baby, you shouldn't skip meals. You don't want to be unhealthy on our wedding day, do you?" I reason.

"I know but what can I do? I have to be free for that day too."

I understand him but can't help the worry spiking my chest.

An idea forms in my head.

"Okay, but try to get some rest too. I love you."

"Love you too." He hangs up.

I quickly take a shower, put on a black dress and denim jacket over it.

I pack two tuna sandwiches for him and put on my shoes. After locking my door, I get in my car and drive to Ayan's office.

I wanna see my love.
