Michael's POVBANG!The loud sound of the gunshot echoed around me. My feet sped off first, even though my mind seemed to have frozen. Danielle's wails could be heard from miles away. I vaguely heard Jonathan on the phone talking to the paramedics. And then my heart felt like it collapsed when I saw Dionnah falling to the ground, her body rolled down the first flight of stairs. I hurried to her side. "Dionnah!" I shouted. I knelt next to her, blood was pouring from her chest. "Dee! No! Dionnah — Oh God! Oh God!" Dani was wailing. "Dani, I need you to stay calm," I told her. Jonny was quickly by my side. "The police and ambulance are on their way," Jonny spoke as he assessed the scene. His hands trembled with adrenaline, he didn't know how to help Dee.Being a SEAL, I had some medical training, so I knew what to do. I lifted Dee and checked for an exit wound. "Good, the bullet went right through her. We just have to stop the bleeding until the paramedics get here. Dani, do you have
MICHAEL'S POVI must have run a dozen stoplights to get to the hospital. I zoned out Dani crying on the phone to her parents. I could hear Mrs. Delaney screaming in pain over the phone when she heard about Dionnah getting shot. Jon quickly took the phone and diffused the situation, telling the old couple that their daughter would be okay and that he'd send word as soon as he heard something. It took a lot of convincing to get them to stay put and not travel here in the middle of the night. Jon informed them that they didn't need to come until at least the morning. As soon as I pulled up into the hospital's parking lot, I was running towards the entrance with Jon, Dani, and Stella hot on my tail. I ran up to the front desk. I was bloodied and out of breath. "Dionnah Delaney," I said, the woman at the front desk assessed me with worried eyes."Sir, are you hurt?""No, it's not my blood. Can you tell me where Dionnah Delaney is?"The woman cleared her throat and quickly checked the syst
DIONNAH'S POVI felt like I was in a dream, and in that dream, I saw a bright blinding light. The light gave me a slight headache as I looked into it. Somewhere in the light, I saw a hand outstretched towards me. I reached for the hand as I felt it was there to give me comfort and reassurance, but instead, the hand grabbed my shoulders and pushed me backward. I stumbled backward and into reality.I heard a beeping sound before I even opened my eyes. I slowly opened them so they could adjust to the light. I scanned my surroundings for any familiarity, which wasn't there. I at least realized that I was in the hospital. I remember Derick's altercation and him firing a gun at me. I even vaguely remember falling down a flight of stairs. Now I understood what was the cause of this throbbing in my head. I looked to my left as I scanned the room some more. There he was. Michael was curled up in a chair beside my bed. His face was hardened and tense even though he was asleep. He had a stubble
DIONNAH'S POVSince I got home a week ago I've been in bed the majority of the days. Even though I wasn't allowed back to work until two weeks, I've kept myself occupied by doing my work at home. Stella visited me once in the hospital and once when I got home. She felt guilty about what took place but I reassured her that it wasn't her fault. Derick, on the other hand, couldn't face what he had done, and after the police showed up he managed to get ahold of the gun he used to shoot me and he turned it on himself and ended his life. It's a shame because I think all he needed was a little help. Michael had gotten more protective of me since the incident. He wouldn't even let me go to the grocery store by myself. I didn't mind being waited on now and again, but he was getting out of hand. It was Saturday morning and I woke up feeling refreshed. I quietly got out of bed and went to chill by the pool. I wanted to go for a swim but my chest was still a little sore so I didn't push myself.
DIONNAH'S POVI wasn't at all shocked to hear that Danielle would be having twins, for Christ's sake she looked more pregnant than she actually was. Jonathan on the other hand almost passed out when Dani broke the news to him. Michael had to grab a chair for him immediately. Even though he was shocked when Jonathan recovered he was over the moon.Danielle called mom to share the news. They insisted on returning to help now since I was shot and all.I had to plead with my parents for them not to come. They still planned on returning to throw a baby shower for both of us.Michael wanted to get married before the baby came, but I told him I wanted to wait until after which he didn't agree with. He wanted our baby to be born in wedlock. I was just happy that all is well with the baby and Dr. Evans said I could do normal stuff like sex, light exercise and I could even return to work the following week.Micheal was still avoiding being intimate with me. I decided to test him to see if it w
MICHAEL'S POVDionnah ran off so fast I didn't have time to catch my bearings. I sat there with my head in my hands. She just did not understand how I felt. My anxiety is acting up making me terrified that something will happen to her and the baby. Yes!I was over the moon when Dionnah agreed to marry me. I could see it all. Us exchanging vows and saying our I dos. The fun we would have on our honeymoon. I wanted to get married before the baby came but Dionnah wanted to do it after, I agreed to it with some form of reservation.I couldn't stop looking at the ultrasound of our baby. It was so tiny and fragile. After Dionnah got hurt I vowed that I would do everything in my power and beyond to keep her and the baby safe. And I meant anything and everything! I realized that I was afraid of hurting the baby myself. That was a risk I didn't want to take. I found myself acting the same way Dionnah had been acting a month ago. I tried to avoid her in every way possible. It was working until
DIONNAH'S POVThe next morning I woke up with this exquisite feeling building inside my core. I slightly opened my eyes to see Michael's head between my legs and to feel his sweet fingers performing magic on my sweet bundle of nerves. I moaned and arched my back into the bed as the feeling became more and more intense. "More Michael, more," I moaned as he removed his hand from my honey pot. Before I could plea again, his mouth replaced his fingers. He sucked and licked my clit until I was practically gasping for breaths. I started grinding on his tongue to increase the pleasure, but he held me steady before smirking."Don't move." he then continued to do his masterful work. This time he inserted two fingers inside me which made me moan in agony and ecstasy. He then did the most agonizingly sweet gesture by blowing on my honey pot."Oh fuck," I gave out."You like that?""Oh yes- yes, yes Michael," I said as I grabbed his hair and then ran my hand through it.He pumped in and out in
DIONNAH'S POVAfter having our first meeting with Minister Duncan, we were informed that we had to push back the wedding a month. Minister Duncan was going away for two weeks and we had to wait until he returned. I didn't have a problem at all. We needed more time to plan anyway. The wedding was going to be a small one on the beach with about fifteen to twenty people. At the last meeting, we were told to bring at least three questions each, so that we could ask each other. I contemplated what I wanted to ask Michael before making a list with four questions. It was the last meeting and I was looking forward to the final advice that Mr. Duncan had to give us on ensuring our marriage is successful if there is such a thing. We had the first appointment and as we reached the office we got straight into things."Good morning you two." "Good morning Minister," Michael and I said in unison."I hope you both are doing well- So I told you two to come prepared with questions you would like to
THIRD PERSON POV Two Years Later It was noon, the weather was great and the scene ahead was even more amazing. Dionnah sat with her husband and their now four year old daughter, who was preoccupied on her tablet to even notice what was taking place. Danielle was sitting to the left with the twins beside her who were also busy with their devices. Jonathan stood at the alter right beside his best friend Joey who looked dashingly handsome in his tux. The doors of the church swung open and in walked the cutest little flower girl. Bethany sauntered inside, throwing a handful of flowers with every waltz. "She's so beautiful," Dee turned to Michael and said. "Yes she is," he beamed. Bethany reached the altar and stood in her position. Everyone stood as the pianist started playing the wedding march. Stefanie graced the entrance looking like the most beautiful bride on earth and marched slowly to the altar where her groom awaited her anxiously. The minister performed the wedding ceremo
DIONNAH'S POV"Oh yes Dionnah, just like that. Oh fuck," Michael moaned as I bobbed my head up and down over his cock."You like that," I said as I lifted my head and licked my lips."You have no fucking idea how much. Come here." I climbed up to the bed and sprawled out on his chest. He began kissing me passionately and I moaned. "Come up to my face," he lifted his lips from mine."What?""I need that sweetness of yours in my mouth," he said as he pulled me along his body."Whoa," I exclaimed in surprise He was laying on the bed and he made sure I was straddling his head. His mouth found my cunt and he licked. "Oooh." "Let me please you." "Please me, Michael, please me." He began sucking and teasing my most sensitive bundle of nerve and I felt my juices running. He inserted a finger past my folds and into my slickness and I gasped."Oh god. It feels so good."He continued licking and sucking on me. The sweet sensation began to tug at my core. I then involuntarily began to grind
DIONNAH'S POVOne month laterIt was a Thursday afternoon when I got the call. I was at work and Dani and I had just finished a meeting with some potential clients for Delaney Designs. When I answered I didn't recognize the voice immediately, until the person spoke my name. It was Gregory."Why are you calling my phone? What do you want you bastard?""I think we need to talk," he said on the other end of the line."Talk? I have nothing to say to you." "Please" he pleaded before I could hang up. "Just two minutes Dionnah, hear me out.""You have one minute," I said as I pressed the record button."Thank you," he said and I rolled my eyes. "Dionnah I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart for what I did to you. I was just going through some stuff and seeing you triggered certain emotions. You know I always wanted you but I didn't think my yearning for you would lead me to try to rape you." "Thirty seconds," I said checking my time."My point is I'm truly sorry and I would appreciate it i
Dionnah's POVIn the evening we were on babysitting duty since Danielle and Jonathan went on a dinner date. We made Macaroni in a pot, not the microwave kind. After bathing them and getting them in their PJs Michael and I decided to let them watch a movie. We picked out the Smurf movie and the kids settled to watch it. They giggled and laugh as they watched it and my heart was contented seeing all three of them so happy and innocent.The movie ended at 8 o'clock and all three of them were fast asleep.Michael brought up Jonah and then came for Janel. I brought up Kehlani and tucked her into bed.I went to take a quick shower and then got into my pajamas.I returned downstairs to find Michael setting up a movie to watch. His hair was damp and he was now wearing a gray T-shirt and black shorts. "Why is your hair wet?""I took a shower in the guest bathroom." "Oh okay," I said sitting down on the couch with my legs crossed."I was thinking we could watch a movie to kill some time, you
DIONNAH'S POVAfter bringing me to the hospital to ensure that I was okay, Michael insisted that I went to the police and file a report. I was hesitant at first, then I finally agreed. While at the station they sent a squad car to check out the location but when they got there Gregory was already gone. After filling out all the paperwork for the report, Michael finally took me home.It was almost 10:30 when we got home. Danielle and Jonathan were waiting for us when we got there."Dionnah I'm so glad that you are okay," Dani said as she hugged me."I'm fine, Danielle." "I was so worried. But Jonathan came and said you weren't physically hurt but you were shaken up. I felt relieved. Gregory is gonna pay for this.""I guarantee he will," stated Michael."Thanks for looking out for me guys. I'm gonna go upstairs now, I just want to see Kehlani.""Okay. Go and get some rest too," said Danielle."Dani I'm so grateful for a sister like you. I can never repay you for always looking out for
DIONNAH'S POVThe inside of the building had a lobby area. It looked like an abandon hotel and it was under construction."What is this place?" I asked as he led us to an elevator."It's my next venture." He simply said with a smile."Oh. So what do you plan on doing with this much space?" "Why so hasty? I'll tell you everything when we are settled and more comfortable," he then pressed the number four on the elevator buttons. The elevator stopped and we got off. We entered a room that looked like a high end night club. The walls were black with gold accents, it had some small tables with love seats around them. The ceiling had gold and silver light fixtures and the corners had gold columns all around."What is this place Gregory?" I asked as we reached a huge love seat in one of the corners of the room."Please have a seat and we'll talk.""Okay," I said awkwardly."So there I was a couple months ago taking a drive to clear my head," he began as he took up two wine glasses and a bo
DIONNAH'S POVThe next couple of days were weird between Michael and me. I slept in my daughter's room and the only time we spoke was if it was about Kehlani. I noticed that Michael wasn't sleeping in our room either, in fact, he wasn't sleeping at all. "Good morning," I said as I brought Kehlani down for breakfast.Michael was the one who made breakfast but I wasn't in the mood for any. I hadn't been feeling well since the following morning. I would get these slight headaches and get sick at the slightest scent. "Good morning Dionnah, good morning Lani bear," Michael said before kissing Lani. "Dada," Lani said and I smiled."Can you please give her breakfast? I have to go get ready for work.""Aren't you going to have something to eat?" "No. I'm fine. Just ensure that Kehlani eats hers," I told him."Okay," he said then I left the room.That's one thing I loved about Michael. He knew how to give me the space I needed. I loved him with all my heart, but sometimes he did things tha
DIONNAH'S POVWhen I got to the apartment building I was very careful. I ensured that I parked where they couldn't see my car but I could see them. It's safe to say I went into full detective mode. But I was shocked when I didn't see Michael's car anywhere near the apartment. I looked up and down the street and there was still no sign of the car. I waited for almost twenty minutes and still no sign of Michael. So I decided to call him. The phone went straight to voicemail. I made two more attempts and it was the same result. I was becoming angrier and angrier at the situation I was in. Why was Michael doing this? I thought.I got fed up and decided to head home. On my way home Dani called and told me that Michael just got back to their house. I hung up and pressed the accelerator. I managed to navigate my way through traffic and in record time I was home."Where is he?" I asked Danielle as I entered the kitchen."He's upstairs," she answered."Mamaaaa," I heard my daughter's sweet voi
DIONNAH'S POVWhen Michael's punishment was over he made up for lost time. A girl wasn't complaining but I was sore in most places and had love marks all over my body. It was now the weekend and I had to do a bit of grocery shopping for the house. We had a thing where every week we would take turns to do the shopping and this week was mine. I left Khelani with Michael who told me he was gonna head over to Jon's. I told him that was a great idea since Dani was coming with me to do some grocery shopping of her own. It was almost noon when we reached the store, it wasn't too packed and I was thankful for that because I hated the hustle and bustle of that situation. We were almost finished with our shopping when I glimpsed the woman called Stefanie, she had Bethany standing beside her holding a LOL doll. Our eyes met and I gave her a smile and a nod. Dani and I then walked up to the check-out line with our two trolleys in tow. There were only three persons ahead of us as we waited. A fe
