Alexus raised her above him by wrapping his hands around her hips. She grinned, a siren with close-kept secrets. He wished she would reveal some of those secrets soon. He was dumbfounded by her slender body outside. She moaned boldly in ecstasy as he ran his hands over her thighs, stomach, and breasts. She leaned over him and extended herself. Much to his dismay, she closed her eyes as he slid her nipple on his tongue. He wanted her entirely with him, but as she sighed, he continued the motion that had made her feel good until she called his name in a desirous, private voice. She joined her legs behind his back as he sat up, leaning her over his arm. In the mirror on the dressing table, he could see the length of her back from behind her. His fingers followed the size of her spine. "Are you mine, Rafaella?" he murmured. She remained silent but met his gaze, and he dropped his head to taste her breast again. He moved to the other breast as a result of her throaty moan. He adored
Alexus wondered. My mind was still strangely foggy after that night with Rafaella, despite the urgency of the work at hand. I had to think things through. He laced his shoes and stepped outside the cottage. And he began to run alongside Timothy. "Are you alright," Timothy questioned. "Yes, I require some privacy while she is still asleep." "Why? Are you two back together?" "I hope so, but ladies can sometimes be difficult to grasp." Timothy chuckled and shook his head in an upward and downward motion. "I can say it's not solely to protect your wife. You've fallen in love with your wife once more." He didn't dispute Timothy's assertion. They were rushing outside on the nature trail to the beach's shoreline a few minutes later. The buzzing in my head began to subside as hot air erupted from my lips, and chilly air rushed through my nostrils. Indeed, a run was exactly what I needed. Yet, when my shoes sank into the sand, I understood I shouldn't take advantage of Rafael
Alexus felt content as he emerged from the bedroom and closed the door of the room he and his wife shared in that cottage. He let her sleep, which he knew she needed to recover fully. He went to where his children were so they would not sulk with him. And such was his joy when they came forward to meet him. "Where's your wife?" Timothy asked. "I decided to give her a breathing space and check with the kids." "Don't worry about them as they were enjoying themselves?" "Daddy?" Joshua said, trying to get his father's attention. "Yes, son?" He replied as he picked him up. He watched his little girl with Libby, scribbling something near the bayside. "Where is Mommy?" "She will follow in a while," he replied. "I want mom..." Alexus roared with laughter. "Alright, watch for Lucy, Tim... it's strong current today..." "No problem. We'll take care of her..." replied Timothy. Alexus dropped the boy, and they walked hand in hand back to the cottage. Rafaella's eyes fluttered open like
"Just be quiet because mommy is sleeping," Alexus reminded his son when he touched the doorknob of the bedroom in the cottage he and his wife were occupying. Although he doubted if Rafaella was awake after the interlude, they shared. But he could not say no to his son. He just let him take a peek at his mother.His son moved his head up and down in agreement. And he pushed the door to surprise Rafaella, but he was shocked to find his wife on the floor—blood covered her head."Mommy...Mommy...!" Joshua screamed when he saw his mother lying on the floor with her face down. Her eyes were closed, and blood was running down her face. Blood seemed to spurt everywhere nearby her.No! That's the dumb cry of his brain. Rafaella… No!Alexus dropped to his knees with his hand still on his son. Shocked, and no words escaped his lips. He immediately broke into a cold sweat and felt both faint and sick to his stomach. He took a deep breath and tried to steady himself. When he could, he grabbed his
Timothy drove the car while Alexus sat in the passenger seat, asking, "Is everyone at ease?""Yes. Thank you, sir," Libby said. She was positioned between the twins in the backseat."The police have no solid clues concerning the identity of my wife's attacker who could enter the cottage, so I say, be careful. Don't talk to anyone. Everyone is a suspect, whoever asks for anything."Alexus told his therapist, "What's up with that look, Tim? Do you have something to say to me?"With a low voice, Timothy laughed. "Well, Alex, it appeared you knew me well."He raised an eyebrow and said, "Why not? We've been together for a while now. Come on, tell me whatever you want to discuss with me," Alexus urged."I'd like to give you a perspective that might be helpful about what happened to your wife," the man said."Go on...""Libby and I were talking about how she was hit in the head on purpose."Tim's comment was audible to Alexus despite his silence. He took a look outside. He couldn't wait u
Alexus spotted Gwen walking towards him as he was about to enter the room where his wife was confined. He stopped and waited for the secret agent woman."I'm glad I got you before you went in," Gwen remarked. "We need to talk, Alexus.""Can't that wait?" He asked. He wanted to tell the woman he was eager to see his wife."No," she declared. "It's important to know first before you see her.""Alright. What about?" He asked, studying the woman's face. "Something happened here?""No, nothing like that. Your wife's memory is back…."Alexus hesitated. "Are you sure about that?""Yeah, I just talked with her physician. And it was confirmed."Alexus couldn't help but take a deep breath. "Thank you for telling me beforehand. That's a big help. Anything else?" He asked when he noticed that the woman was looking at him."Can we sit down?" Gwen asked. She started to walk when Alexus nodded. She occupied the long bench and sat down first. She waited for Alexus to sit next to her. "The doctor expl
"A surprise?" She asked with a frown. "I hope not a bitter one, Alexus...""You just wait and see," he said with a smile. And he regrettably kept his distance when he loosened his embrace from his wife."At this point in my life, I don't like surprises, Alex," said Rafaella followed by a deep breath. "Libby told me you're working with Gwen and her team to pin down the mobs?"Alex nodded."How did that happen?""Ruslan was trailing you at the airport. And they knew what the mobs did that night you met an accident to save Josh..."Rafaella let out a deep breath again. "I thought I would lose him that night...""But it was almost the other way around. You have no idea how I was in terror when I saw your body left in the air before you hit the ground...""Y-you saw what happened?""Yeah..." he mildly replied to his wife. "I discovered we have a kid when I saw Tim's photo. So, I was waiting to stop you from leaving the airport. And then I discovered that it was a twin. Seeing the little bo
For some reason, he felt like sweat trickled from his forehead. He peered from around the hallway as he spotted Timothy walking towards him. "What's up? Were you able to find out if she would be released today?" Alexus asked while trying to calm himself. "Yeah. Done," Timothy replied. "Why do you look agitated?" Alexus let go a deep sigh, and he shook his head incredulously. "It's my wife giving me this panic attack. I always thought she was calm and always cautious. But not this version of Rafaella that's worried me like hell." Alexus released a profound sigh after telling Timothy about his wife's plan. "Don't take it in a hard way," Timothy remarked. "She has the reason to consider it in her way. She must feel at the edge of what happened to her and realize that the only way to finish the issue is to face it rather than be cautious in the corner." "I know, but it's too dangerous what she was planning to do," Alexus said, somewhat upset. "Just put yourself in her situation. How
