I found it strange because my tech guy couldn’t find any flights booked for Steph. The woman told me she couldn’t give out any information regarding Steph. I reached in my pocket and slid two one hundred-dollar bills at her and gave her a smile. She looked at me as I could tell she was thinking about something. She looked around and then leaned in closer to me as she put her hand over the bills.“She booked a flight to New york; “I couldn’t find any record of that,” I said.She looked around once more. “She paid me off to put her ticket under a different name and let it go through.”I smiled at her, “Thank you.”I walked away, and Dan looked at me, smiling. “She’s a smart girl, and she’s playing one hell of a game. Have I told you, Dean, how much I love Steph”“Knock it off, Dan,” I said as I shot him a dirty look.We boarded my plane and flew back to Calfornia.A week had passed, and I was missing her. It was killing me not to know what she was doing or what she was up to. I was in m
Mason and Landon emerged from their apartment, clapping. I explained to Steph how the three of us already met and what great friends they were. Steph took me to her apartment. I closed the door as she turned around and stared at me. I ran my finger softly down her jaw line and over her lips.“You have a lot of explaining to do, but first, I’m going to make love to you,” I spoke softly. I brushed my lips against hers and heard her gasp as my tongue trailed down her neck. It felt like forever since I tasted her. I wanted her more than anything else. I craved her and now it was time to satisfy my need. “You taste so good. It’s been too long, Steph; I need you. I need to be inside you.”I picked her up and carried her to the bedroom, my lips never leaving hers. I set her down in front of the bed, lifted her shirt over her head, and tossed it to the side. My hands ran up and down her sides and over her h*ps as I unhooked her bra and let it fall to the floor. I cupped her warm br**sts and f
“Thank you. This is a glimpse of my future; it looks so peaceful there.” “It’s very beautiful. I suggest you keep this, and don’t sell it,” I said. She kissed me on the cheek. “Maybe I will.” “I was going to tell you, you know,” she said. I reached for her hands and brought her arms around my waist. “Tell me what?” She took in a sharp breath, “About coming here and seeing Dr. Ray. I wanted to talk to you about it that day, but you were so angry; I heard you on the phone, in your office, with Ashlyn.” I looked down, “I’m sorry, Steph. I never should have said those things to you; I was…” “You need to tell me about what she wants this time, Dean. We can never move forward if you don’t, and I think I have a right to know,” she pleaded. I turned around and pressed my forehead against hers, “I know, and I will; just not tonight.” I just found her, and we shared a perfect day. There was no way I going to ruin it by discussing Ashley. I could see the disappointment in her eyes when I
Later that night, I arranged for a limo to pick us and I also planned for a Limo to pick her family up at their hotel and drive us to the swank bar that Mason and Landon had planned for Steph’s birthday. When she stepped in she was shocked to see her family , she looked back at me and whisper thank you. She rushes to embrace her mom, her dad and siblings, It was an eventful night of talking, laughing, and drinking.Our waitress was trying to flirt with me and didn’t care that Steph was right there next to me. When we were about to leave, Steph excused herself ato see her family off to the arranged Limo. While she was gone, the redheaded waitress came over and whispered in my ear. “I would love to have your c*ck in my mouth,” she winked.I looked over her shoulder and saw Steph coming towards her. The angered look on her face told me she had enough of this girl. She walked up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder. I started to get nervous because I know Steph, and she doesn’t put
We all kept telling her we loved her over and over.The following day,I see her family off back to the plane because everyone has to return to their activity even her mom had treatment she is still undergoing till she gets fully well.A couple of days had passed, and we mostly stayed in bed, watched movies, and cooked together.Cooking with Steph was fun because neither one of us were very good at it. When I sat at the table, doing work and holding meetings, Steph would sit at her easel and paint. When she wasn’t looking, I would stare at her and watch how flawlessly she moved her brush on the canvas. This is how I pictured the rest of my life with her; she’s my future.The next morning, I was up early for a brief phone meeting with Paul regarding the Chicago acquisition. Just as I hung up with him, my mom called. She wanted to make sure I was coming for Thanksgiving. I told her that I needed her to meet the special woman I want to have my forever with and that I would be bringing he
She stumbled out of the bedroom, rubbing her eyes and yawning as she headed towards the coffee pot. “Hey, babe, I hope I didn’t wake you,” I smiled. She poured some coffee and sat down next to me. I leaned over and ran my finger over her lips before kissing them good morning. I told her how I needed to fly back to California today for the meeting tomorrow morning, and that I wanted her to come home with me. She was unsure if she could because of her treatment. I explained to her that it didn’t matter, and that we’d be back here for her second treatment next month. She threw her arms around me in excitement, especially when I told her that she would be living with me at the Penthouse. I took the coffee cup from her hands and set it down on the table. I grabbed her and pulled her onto my lap as I lifted up her nightshirt, threw it on the floor, and made love to her.I was in the bathroom shaving while Steph was still in the shower. I could smell the lilac scented body wash that she was
“Please tell me that you aren’t mad,” I said as I held my hands up.“I’m not mad; I just want to know why,” she asked softly.“Look at them, Steph. They’re beautiful. It was my way of being close to you when you weren’t around and helping out because yu needed money but didn’t want to rely on my help” I was afraid she was going to be angry with me, but she wasn’t. She walked over to me and hugged me tight, thanking me and telling me how much it meant to her.She walked over to my bed and slightly giggled.“What’s so funny?” I asked.“memories, I mean those memories on this very bed, the bed where you taught me, made love to me, make promises to me” she said,I smiled as I laid myself on the bed and spread out.“What are you doing?” she laughed.“I don’t remember any of that maybe you should remind me how I taught you back then mybe I will remember.”Steph smile and bit her bottom lip as she pulled her shirt over her head and threw it on the floor.“Um, I don’t think you did that,” I s
“ Did my son come looking for you? She asked.“ We met again after five years that I found my way back to the US, we never forgot each other and at that moment we knew our love story was written from heaven” I left them wen I knew they got along so well, I return to camden after a while Steph sat down on the floor next to me and Camden, and asked if she could help stack the blocks. Camden picked one up and handed it to her. Watching her interact with him told me she would make a wonderful mother.How and when was I going to tell her that I can’t have kids?When it was time to leave, we said our goodbyes to my family and started on the road back home.“I can’t believe your mother would give me a big hug like that ater finding out about me,” Steph said as she grabbed my hand.“You are no more that girl again and my mom is such a wonerful woman, Everyone in my family accepted you,” I smiled as I brought her hand to my lips.“Do you really think so?” she asked nervously.“Baby, I don’t th
DEANIt was the best birthday that I’ve ever had. We celebrated at the beach house with about 70 close friends and family members. I made the announcement about Dean’s pregnancy, and the whole room beamed with excitement. I still couldn’t believe it myself, and every time I looked at her, she was glowing. Dean had arranged it so the party was mainly outside between the patio and the beach. It was a beautiful summer evening. When the last of the guests left, Steph turned and looked at me.“I’m exhausted,” she said as she fell into my arms.“Thank you for the wonderful party,” I said as I kissed her on top of her head.“Have I told you lately that I love you?” she smiled as she looked up at me.“You tell me every day over and over again,” I smiled back as I picked her up. I held her as she wrapped her legs around me and grinned.“I love you, and I will never let you go. We are forever, Mrs. Melile, and nothing will ever change that.” I kissed her as I carried her into the house and upst
“Baby, as much as I want to have lunch with you, I can’t.”“Why not?”“I’m with my sister Ally, and we’re going shopping. She came over, and she’s feeling a little down, so I told her shopping will lift her spirits.”“Why is she down? Is everything ok with her and Henry?” he asked.“Oh yeah, it’s just her time of the month; you know how that goes.”“Enough said, Steph. Have fun, and I’ll see you tonight. I love you.”“I love you too, Dean, bye.”Ally looked at me and started laughing. “You’re good,” she said.We arrived at the hospital, and I headed to the lab to have my blood drawn. The nurse told me that Dr. Nathan gave strict instructions to have me come upstairs to his office and wait for the results. After my blood was drawn, we stopped at the Starbucks inside the hospital and grabbed some coffee before heading up to his office. I was a nervous wreck. I felt bad for lying to Dean, but I had no choice.There was no need to worry him until I got some answers. We patiently waited in
“You never cease to amaze me, Dean Melville, and that’s why I love you so much. This song is perfect, and I couldn’t have picked anything better,” she said as one tear fell. I wiped away her tear and kissed her cheek.I wanted to get Steph out of there and to her wedding present. We said goodbye to our family and friends as we climbed in the back of the limo, and I took out a blindfold from my pocket. Steph looked at me and tilted her head.“Planning a little kinky time in the limo before we go back to the hotel?” She smiled.Steph thought we were spending the night at the Waldorf. She didn’t know what I had planned for us. She didn’t even know about the limo until I told her we had to leave.“I’m taking you somewhere special, and it’s a surprise, so you need to wear this blindfold,” I said as I put it over her eyes.“Aren’t we spending the night at the hotel?”“No, Steph, I have somewhere else in mind,” I said as my hand started traveling up her dress.“You are a very mysterious man,
“Dean,” my mom said as she walked over to me, “You look so handsome. I thought I’d never see this day,” she smiled.“I didn’t think that I would either, mom,” I said.Our mom took their seats in the front row as Henry and I headed down the aisle to take our place in front of the archway. Steph’s dad stepped outside the gates to meet Steph as her limo pulled up. Dr.Peters nodded and smiled as he and his wife sat down. I stood there next to Henry as a nervous wreck.“You’re not nervous; are you?” Henry asked.“I’m nervous as hell,” I replied.He put his hand on my shoulder. “Don’t be nervous. Steph’s the woman of your dreams, and you’re finally making her your wife. You’re one lucky man, Dean.”I nervously smiled at him. “Just wait until you’re standing in my place, waiting for Peyton to walk down the aisle.”“Good point,” he said as he cocked his head to the side.The orchestra began playing as Steph’s sister, Steph’s maid of honor, slowly walked down the aisle. I looked at Henry as a
“Are you cooking, Ashley?” I asked as I put my hands on her h*ps and kissed her.“Yes, and you’re going to eat it, whether you like it or not,” she smiled.“I’ll eat anything from you,” I winked. She hit me on the arm and turned to the oven. I grabbed a couple of glasses, filled them with wine, and set them on the table. Steph took a chicken pot pie out of the oven and set it in the middle of the table.“My mom used to make this for my dad and me. It was his favorite. I’ve kept the recipe with me all these years. I started making it for him when I was only nine years old,” she said as she sat down across from me.“You cooked dinner for your father at the age of nine?” I asked.“It was either that, or he didn’t eat. I always knew that would be the one dish he would eat.”I looked at her and shook my head. I couldn’t believe that drunken bastard would let his child cook and use the oven at the age of nine. I needed to tell her about Ashley, and I guess now’s as good as time as any. I de
“I love you so much, and I’m so happy everything turned out right today. I was so scared for you, Steph,” I said as my eyes swelled with tears.She tilted her head and wiped away the tears that were falling down my face. “I know, babe, and I’m so sorry I put you through that. But we have our whole life in front of us, and we need to set a wedding date. I can’t wait to marry you and become Mrs. Steph,” she smiled. I picked her up from the counter and held her firmly by her ass as I kissed her and carried her to the bedroom for round two.We said goodbye to Mason and Landon as they drove us to the airport. All three of them cried as we said our goodbyes. I looked at Mason and Landon seriously.“When the two of you come to California, which I know will be frequently to see Steph; you are to call me first to let me know because I’ll send the company plane to get you. I don’t want you flying commercial.”Steph smiled at me as both Landon and Mason agreed. They were such good friends to Ste
Dr. Ray sent over a script to Dr. Nathan so Steph didn’t have to wait to get her blood work done.She had lengthy conversations with Dr. Nathan during Steph’s treatment period to ensure he was fully aware of everything going on. He told us that she should have the results in about three days. We flew to N.Y the day before her results were supposed to come back. Steph wanted to spend time with Mason and Landon. She seemed to be doing fine until I woke up at 3:00 am, and she was gone.I rolled over and opened my eyes; her side of the bed was empty. I got up and searched the apartment for her. Where the hell is she? I thought as I ran my hand through my hair. I picked up my phone and dialed her number, but it went straight to voicemail. I sighed as I put on a pair of jeans and a shirt. I grabbed my shoes and got in the Porsche. I sat there with my hands on the steering wheel, trying to figure out where she’d go. It’s 3:00 am, and she’s out in Los Angeles all alone. I was pissed now, beca
She looked at me and cocked her head. “Maybe I can a little,” she said. I sighed as I stared into her eyes. “So, all this time you pretended you that you didn’t know how to skate? Why?”“Because I liked the idea of you holding me and protecting me,” she innocently answered.“Steph!” I exclaimed as I let go of her, and she smiled at me.She started skating backwards holding out her hands as I stood there. “Come on, big boy; come and get me,” she smiled as she took off around the rink. I skated after her as Ally,Steph’s Sister and Henry stood to the side and laughed. She was fast. I couldn’t believe she tricked me, but that made her more irresistible.I caught up with her and grabbed her from behind. I pushed her up against the side of the railing and kissed her passionately. We were both out of breath as our tongues tangled, and our cold lips started to warm. “You’re a very bad girl, Steph, and I think you need to be punished,” I smiled.“You’re going to punish me here, right in front
“I guess I’m just scared,” she whispered.“Don’t worry, baby. Everything is going to work out; you just wait and see,” I said right before we fell fast asleep.A couple of weeks later, I felt the emptiness on Steph’s side of the bed as I rolled over. I opened my eyes and noticed that it read 4 am on the clock. I looked around the dark room; the only shadow of light was coming from the clock. I got out of bed, put on my pajama bottoms, and walked downstairs to find Steph, sitting at her easel and painting. I walked over to her as she turned her head and looked at me.“I’m sorry, babe, I hope I didn’t wake you,” she said softly.“No, you didn’t wake me, but why aren’t you sleeping?” I asked as I slipped my arms around her shoulders.“I couldn’t sleep. I have too much on my mind, and painting always helps me clear my head.”“You need to talk to me, Steph. Please tell me what’s on your mind,” I said as I kissed the top of her head.”“It’s nothing to worry about. I’ve just been thinking ab
