Falling For Mr King Chapter Eighty Two
“Steven, wake up.” Marie said, shaking him awake.“ Steven! Wake up!” Steven’s eyelids fluttered as she struggled to pull himself off. He had just begun to hit that spot where the sleep was the sweetest, not to mention he has been dreaming about doing things with Marie that he couldn't wait to do.“Steven!” She screamed and all thoughts of pleasure vanished from his mind.“What?” He asked, wondering why there was such a ruckus.“There are policemen at the front door.”“Why?”“I don't know. We have to go and find out.”“Right.” He said, as the last vestiges of sleep cleared from his eyes. He kicked off the covers and climbed down from the bed.She followed him as he walked briskly to the door before he turned back.“Where are you going?” He asked, staring pointedly at her chest.“I'm following you out there.”“You are absolutely not doing that. Until I know what they want.”“But…”“Marie, stay back here and don't come out till I get back.”He said, walking out and heading to the fro

Marie smiled down at the red dress she wore to work today. She did feel quite beautiful in it and she had liked the way Steven King had looked at her when she came out. Like she was the best thing after sliced bread. Even now that they were in the office, he found reasons to step out and plant kisses all over her face and neck. Even though she put up mock protests everytime he tried to, she really liked that he paid no mind to her. She had been worried about Cadence Steele sitting in his office when they arrived but after his meeting with her, he had come out all smiles and so she tried to put the worries out of her mind.Her mind flashed back to the earlier occurrence in the morning. It felt so weird that Antonio, a man whom she had been considering a relationship with and had gotten assaulted by, was now dead. At a deeper level, she knew Steven had nothing to do with his death directly, but had he somehow done anything that inadvertently led to his death? Her phone beeped, reminding

“Steven, don't open it. Do not open it.”“Marie, calm down. It's not what you think it is.”It's not?”“No. Before I would do what you're thinking, we would have had a rather serious and long conversation. This is something else.”She sighed, relieved that he wasn't about to repropose, if there was any word like that.“Okay, in that case. I’m ready.” She said, grinning.He opened the box to reveal an exquisite set of silver earrings, chain and a bracelet that shimmered so wonderfully. The chain had a pendant engraved with her name on it.“You know I thought about engraving my name on it, but I didn't want you to think I'm vain.”“This is so beautiful, Steven. I don't know what to say.”“Say you like and you’ll wear it and one of my shirts tonight.”“Steven King!” She half-yelled.“You did say, you didn't know what to say. I was just helping out.”“This is so beautiful,Steven. Thank you.” She said, moving her hair away from her neck so he could put the necklace on her. Then the earrin

“It’s courtesy. Calling, texting, updating. That sort of thing.” Steven said, shaking his head as an unremorseful James stuck his head in the refrigerator and pulled out a beer. Marie snorted and then averted her gaze when Steven scowled at her.“Hey Sunshine, you are a sight for sore eyes. Come here and give me a hug.” James said, ignoring Steven.She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him in a bear hug.“Why is he so grumpy?” James asked, his voice lowered in a conspiratorial tone.“I think he misses you. A hug and a sloppy wet kiss should do the trick.” She whispered, glancing at Steven who was frowning at them.“It seems it may take more than that.” James replied as Marie bursted out laughing before wrapping her arms around James.“Forget him. I missed you.” She said, as James hugged her back.“Marie, need I remind you that you're married? To me?” He asked in a tone that made Marie bite back a smile. Jealous Steven was so cute and silly because this was James, his best

“I’ve watched you in these last few months Marie, and I believe you are good for him. Are you?” James asked, a stern expression on his face.“I… I mean… Yes, I think.” Marie said, uncomfortable with the look in James’s eyes. Where had the chill dude who made her laugh gone?“I think so too. He loves you, I hope you know that. Whether or not he has admitted it to himself or you. You need to know that if you hurt him or betray the trust he has in you, it will be terrible.”What was with the veiled threats? Did James somewhat know something about her secret with Alden?“I don't intend to hurt him.” Marie said, averting her gaze from James's face.“Great. That makes me happy because I won't let you. Yolanda hurt him very deeply. Steven goes around with a gruff voice and a scowl but he's probably the world’s biggest softie. If you hurt him, Marie, you’re most definitely going to answer to me.”“I don't want to hurt him. I’d never hurt him.” Marie said quickly, hoping the conversation would

Steven felt Marie stiffen in his arms. Even in the dark, he could see her lips and chin quivering.“You don't have to tell me yet, Marie. But I do hope it's something you can talk about someday.”“I can't talk about it now. But I will… someday. Please?” She asked in a pleading tone.The truth was that he was a little disappointed and frustrated. A part of him felt that Jeff was the reason some parts of Marie were still locked to him. He felt it in the way she withdrew sometimes when he touched her. It was like she was constantly trying to let herself loose and then reel herself in when she was losing control.“Why do you want to know about Jeff?” She asked, her expression questioning as she raised her head to look at him.“I…I… I don't like the way you clam up when you think of him. But I’m ready to wait.”“Okay, can we go back to the house now?” She askedThere were a lot of reasons he wanted to know about Jeff, chief of which was that he wanted Marie to trust him with all her secret

“That's impossible.” Steven said as Marie noticed Amelia flinching by Alden's side. She probably wanted nothing to do with this arrangement but Alden had imposed it on her. She didn't think the child needed to be privy to whatever argument was about to go down.“Hey Rick, Do you like comic books?” She asked, smiling at the boy. Steven looked as though he was ready to club her but she didn't care right now.“Sure, and classics too. I do prefer classics if you have those?”“Ah, a young reader. You're in the right place. You have to see our library!” She said, injecting cheer into her voice. With that, she shot Steven a behave-yourself look and went with Rick to Steven’s library. Once she unlocked the door, Rick made a bee-line for the classics. He hadn't been kidding. She closed the door and headed to the living room where Alden was saying,“Look, it's just a few weeks, Steven.”“Absolutely not. No offense, Amelia but Marie and I work.”“So, your staff can look after him during the day

It was just like Alden to drop a kid on his lap and disappear. It seemed the older the man got, the more chaotic he became because why was Alden making him watch Amelia's kid? He was just beginning to enjoy Marie's presence on his floor; and now he had to deal with the interruption of a kid, poking his nose into their business. It sort of helped that the kid was straight-faced and didn't seem to dabble into things that weren't his concern.He stepped out of the room and collided with Rick in the hallway.“Hello,” Rick said, falling into step with Steven.“Hi,” Steven replied, not slowing his pace as he jogged down the stairs.“You take the stairs, that's good. You should get your wife to do it too. My teacher says taking the stairs is good cardio for your heart.” Rick said, keeping up with Steven.“Hmmm,” Steven grunted to Rick as he reached the bottom of the stairs.“Marie said I could have some breakfast. Are you having breakfast as well?” Rick asked, taking his seat at the table.
