But no. Nothing like that. Just a simple, “If that’s what you want.”“You…you don’t mind?”“I would be lying if I said I didn’t, if I said the idea of being engaged to you, marrying you and waking up to you by my side ever single morning for the rest of our lives, isn’t the most desirable thing in t
Those words felt like melodies to Elijah’s ear.‘Give us a try’, she had said, and Elijah was left staring at her with a blank expression, unsure if he heard right.“W-what?” He stuttered.“Us, Elijah,” Amara repeated, but gone was that unsure look in her eyes.She looked certain of every word that
Pain, suffering and more pain.The realization that he had not done his best in caring for her as the husband he had been, hit him hard, and that’s what had him staring out the window, day in, day out.The sound of cutlery hitting plate drew his attention away from the view outside and he looked jus
Amara, under Elijah’s constant insistence, was driven home by him that night.The ride home was quiet, but the constant glances and hand gestures from Elijah made sure it wasn’t awkward, but that didn’t stop Amara’s mind from roaming.She had made a decision, one she thought at first, would be best
Elijah flashed her a charming smile and whipped out a bouquet of flowers from behind his back, holding them out to her.Tulips, she noted at first sight.“For the beautiful woman whose going to become my fiancée tonight.”Amara couldn’t help the blush that crept up her cheeks, nor could she fight th
Applause followed and the young man smirked.“Secondly,” He continued, raising his glass. “I’d like to give a toast to the couple of the hour,”A few cheers and claps followed his words and his eyes shifted to Amara and Elijah, who were seated at the head of the room.“Miss Amara Crawford and Mr. El
“Amara,” The sound of Elijah’s voice caused the younger woman to turn her attention back to him.She stared at him, watching the hopeful and expectant expression he wore. He didn’t say anything more, but she knew, he was waiting. Everyone was waiting and she…she was stalling unnecessary.Unconscious
Amara’s expression softened and she cracked a smile, which earned her a soft smile from Elijah.“There she is,” He said, kissing her forehead and pulling her closer.He was about to kiss her again, but stopped when he noticed a figure approaching them.Elijah released Amara and they both turned to f
Fiona nodded her head and Melanie, with a proud look on her face, smiled.Elvis looked at his granddaughter, and his lips tugged upwards. “You look beautiful.” He complimented. “Your mother and father wouldn’t be more happier.”“Thank you, grandfather.” Amara said with a happy smile.“Are you ready?
Elijah stood in the cold, hands tucked into the pocket of his winter coat and eyes watching the very first snowfall of the year.It had been a year; a whole year since he left Italy, one year since he last saw Amara’s face and eight months since he Melanie handed him the invitation to she and Tobias
A soft smile tugged on Tobias’s lips as he watched Amara’s sleeping face.After spending nearly an hour and a half in the bathtub, washing each other’s body and kissing every now and then, Tobias had finally helped her out, and after putting on her undergarments, dressed her in one of the dresses he
“Hmm, it seems you’re still sensitive down there, Princess.” Tobias teased and Amara, through the cracks of her finger, glared at him.“Shut up.”“As you wish,” He leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead. The feeling of his lip against her skin made Amara shiver in a good way “But, first,”He
“Yeah, yeah, sure.” Amara rolled her eyes.Tobias leaned forward and captured her lips. He kissed her a few times, before he pulled back.“How about we continue last night after breakfast, Love?”His suggestion earned a blush from Amara.“You’re such an asshole.” She said and smacked his arm once ag
Amara learnt the hard way that someone like Tobias wasn’t a person you should ever tease.Round after round, their moans echoed and the smell of sex was pungent. It was sometime around 2 in the morning, 3 hours after they had returned from their date, and Tobias was still going at it like they had j
Tobias made it to his place in record time. He was quick to park his car and he didn’t waste a minute before opening the door for Amara and leading her inside his house.The moment the door closed, he pushed her against the door, and without waiting, kissed her.His kiss was deep and demanding, but
“Why the fuck do you have a gun on your yacht, Tobias?” She asked, a look of shock on her face.When she saw him reaching for the gun, she tried to grab it, but Tobias was faster than her.“Don’t play this game,” She warned. “It’s not worth it, I forgive you. There’s no need to-““I won’t hurt mysel
It was just as Amara had predicted.The location of their date turned out to be in the middle of the ocean, taking place on none other than Tobias’s private yacht.Waiters and a few musicians, for entertainment sake, we’re invited. At the center of the yacht’s first floor, was their dining table, de
