(Leigh’s POV)His breathing became shallow, and I smiled as I watched him close his eyes like he was enjoying this moment. I have no experience with this, and as I listened to him, moaning in pleasure, the more I got excited.“Ahhh, Kayleigh,” he groaned, curling his fingers to my hair as I slid his manhood deeper into my mouth.I moaned, perfecting a rhythm to please him more, and I guess I did successfully when Alex could not help himself thrusting his hips into my mouth. I sucked him deliciously, making sure to elevate him to the clouds, but he was doing the same thing to me because when he called my name, I could feel the intense pleasure inside me.Alex lowered his gaze, panting heavily as he thrust another inch into my mouth, but he held my head after a while. When I raised my head, he smiled and shook his head.“You have to stop, Leigh. I don’t want to come in your mouth,” he breathed.He chuckled lovingly when I groaned.“You’re one naughty cupcake, Leigh,” he said in a low, h
(Leigh’s POV)“Why are we here again?” I asked Alex when he parked the car at the biggest supermarket near my apartment.“We’re shopping,” he said as he unfastened his seatbelt. He went out and opened the back passenger seat to take Callie, then came to me to open my door. “Then, we’ll go to the shopping mall,” he grinned. “We’ll buy more of the nightie you wore last night. I have to replace the one I tore.”My cheeks blushed. “It was George’s gift. You can’t just replace it,” I said, pressing my lips as I got out of the car. I kept it in my closet, a remembrance of our intense lovemaking last night.He raised his eyebrows and stared at me. “What are your friends up to, Leigh? They’re scaring me now?”I smirked, putting on a facemask and taking Callie from him. “Alfie said I should get back to you. Have my revenge,” I said, wishing he could see me grinning.“And how exactly do they think you will do that?” he asked me as we walked toward the supermarket.Heat crept through my face, ma
(Leigh’s POV)Alex banged the door, startling Callie and me. She barked continuously, and I wondered if she was barking at me, ranting that I lied to him or at him for closing the door of the apartment so loud that I thought it shook the whole building.He released the puppy to the floor, running away from us to her play area. Alex grabbed my arm, tugging me to the bedroom.“Alex,” I groaned, suddenly feeling scared at how he was acting. I have never seen him this angry before.“What?” he yelled, closing my door.“What, what?” I asked as my eyebrows knitted. “What did my doors do to you? Why are you so mad?” I yelled back.I yelped when he pinned me to the door. “Why did you lie to me?”“Lied to you? I did not lie to you. Is this about what Dr. Facer told you? I told you I wouldn’t get pregnant,” I said angrily, meeting his furious eyes. “I stopped taking my medicines a month ago.” I brushed off his hand on my arm.His eyes narrowed. “Why?”“Before meeting you, Alex, I couldn’t even
(Alexander’s POV)As I watched Leigh walking toward the living room, I stared at the ceiling, planning my way out of my promise to Zyra. If Leigh got pregnant, I knew it would be my best excuse. Tonight, I wanted Leigh and me to talk about our relationship and how serious I was about spending my life with her for the rest of our lives. If I had to speak to her parents, I would do it. That’s how desperate I am now just to be with her. “It’s George,” Leigh pointed at my cell phone. I heaved a sigh, but I climbed down from the bed, dressing up quickly, to answer her call.“George,” I said without greeting her.“Bad timing, Boss?” she asked, but my eyebrows knitted, imagining her with bad news based on the tone of her voice.I heaved a sigh, glancing at Leigh. “What’s the problem?”She cleared her throat. “We have a teeny-weeny problem, Boss.”I pursed my lips as I waited for the reason for her call. She knew I hated it when she didn’t say the full information before calling the situatio
(Leigh’s POV)“Alex!” I called him again. “We don’t want to be late.”Today is little Tatiana’s first birthday, Tina’s daughter, a new client, and Emma’s friend. I double-check, no, triple-check Callie’s things and my stuff, and the only one left is Alex. I opened the door and saw him pacing the room.“I can’t find my belt, Leigh,” he complained, looking under the bed.I opened my closet and pointed it to him. “Who told you to use this last night?” I said, turning my back on him to hide my blushing cheeks.He gave me a peck on the lips, taking and putting it on his pants. “Did I hurt you?” he asked worriedly, taking my hands to check my wrists, although it wasn’t the belt he used to tie my hands but my robe’s ribbon.I chuckled. “You didn’t, okay,” I assured him, taking my hands from him and keeping them at my back. “It was a great night! The best night ever.” I gulped and shook my head. I have to focus before we end up making love again.This man never loses energy.“Will you be spen
(Leigh’s POV)A children’s party without magic will never be complete. Of course, it was just my opinion. It was an add-on to our basic package of children’s parties. My family would always have magicians at every children’s party we held at home, and though I knew the tricks already, I was still in awe at how the rabbit would appear.We overdid a little, asked the magicians to camouflage themselves at the Mi Casa-designed venue, and when their names were called, it would be the only time they moved. I left the microphone to Elle and let her call the magicians one by one. When they appeared, getting up and walking onto the stage, it left some of the guests open-mouthed, while others clapped at their mind-blowing entrance, and others squealed in delight. I glanced at Alex, grinning from ear to ear and clapping his hands at the magic he was watching. Zyra, standing beside her, whispered in his ear, and he nodded, moving his head toward her to answer. I gasped, breathing out as I return
(Alexander’s POV) “Her again?” Zyra said sadly at me. Her eyes accused me, but she did not voice it out. She lowered her head, not letting me see the tears glistening in her eyes. “Babe, please understand. It’s an emergency at home. Something happened to her grandmother, and she has been looking for us,” I told her. I just received a call from Carlos telling me they were reaching for Leigh, but she was not answering her phone. Abuela fell in the living room, and everybody panicked because they suspected she might be suffering from stroke again. Right before she lost consciousness, she looked for Leigh and me. She heaved a sigh, glancing at Leigh, talking to someone on the phone. “Of course, babe,” she squeezed my hand, then let me go. “You need a driver? I can send-” “I’ll drive. She’ll be at ease just having Callie and me in the car,” I said and then regretted saying it. She always understood me, but now, I saw the pain in her eyes. Remembering our conversation, I glanced bac
(Leigh’s POV)I watched Alex go, and when he was gone, I closed my eyelids, freeing the tears welling in my eyes. I finally said what I wanted to tell him without him beside me.“I love you, Alex! But I’m scared you will not choose me in the end. I saw how much Zyra loves you, and you looked happy together. Who am I to break those hearts?”My hand clutched my shirt, feeling the extreme pain as I wept alone in the car. I only decided to get out of the car when I thought I was ready to face my family. After puffing out some air, I opened the door and walked in the same direction Alex walked.I found him outside the hospital, waiting for me.“Are you now feeling better?” he asked, twitching his lips as he studied my face, but I looked elsewhere.He holds and lifts my chin, but I brush his hand off my face.“Don’t lie. I saw you crying in the car, Leigh,” he sighed.“Are you stalking me?” I joked, but when he opened his arms to me, I could not help myself from walking closer and leaning m
