"Bruno.Stop it."She found herself in his strong arms. "Bruno.Don't."She begged as his scent filled her lungs. Sage could feel her nipples hardening,and she wasn't wearing any bra,can he feel it.Please god don't let him.He studied her face."Did you sleep last night.You look tired.""I am."She admitted."The boys didn't get much sleep last night.I only put them to bed a few minutes ago.""Why don't you get help Sage it must be hard to be a single mother of two boys.""No we fine.They teething that's why they so fussy it's nothing I can't handle.""Do you want me to take you guys to a doctor?"His genuine concern is touching."No Bruno.We're fine.You need to leave I have things to do before the boys wake up.""Can I kiss you before I go.""No!"She jumped and moved away from him."I don't want you to kiss me or touch me or make love to me,what I want is for you to leave and take your reporters with you.I have a life I need to get back to,a job,so please..."She showed him the door."Sage I w
"Bruno!"She called."I'm not done talking to you."She was about to go after him when she heard one of the boys crying."Damn you Bruno Romero."She said under her breath.How dare he.Who gave him the right to barge in here and turn their whole life upside down.Who said she wanted to move out of her apartment or needed him to help.If he knows what's good for him he won't show her his face anytime soon Sage thought as she prepared food for the boys.He has just concluded a three hour meeting and was sitting inside his office when his brother came in.Bruno was surprised to see him and wonder what he was doing here."Hugo?What brings you by."He never did get a chance to talk to his brother about everything between him and Maya."I was in the area.Thought I'd come see you.Are you busy.""No.Can I get you anything."Bruno asked."I'm okay."Hugo sat down and gazed around him."I haven't been here in a while.Did you do some changes.""No.The new cleaning crew is doing a good job in keeping the place
"And I bet you aren't Mr controlling."She slightly stepped back."You seem like a nice guy Bruno and I'm thankful for what you did but I won't be able to pay you back nor am I sleeping with you.My dignity and honor is something that cannot be bought,nor will it ever.""And I will never try to buy you but I won't stop in helping you either.That's what friends do they help each other."She laughed softly."Again with the friends story huh.""If we cannot be lovers.We can at least be friends."He suggested."Let's see how that will work out.""Don't be mad at me."He said."I'm not.Because of the flowers you forgiven.""I take it they your favorite."She nodded."What else is your favorite."You she told him silently."Truffles,I like tea preferable jasmine.I enjoy yoga I'm a sucker for romance movies.I like a burger with chips and milkshake even though it's bad for the curves I eat it anyway."He chuckled at that."I like to read too occasionally and my favorite color is red.""I'll never forget
"Work?"Carmen said."What kind of work do you do."Uh-oh Sage thought what is she gonna say now.She's not ashamed of her job but no one knows she's actually working for Bruno except Kim and now isn't the right time for anyone to know.She silently thanked Bruno for coming back at that moment."We just getting to know Sage better.She tells us the two of you are friends."Bruno smiled."The first and only woman who can resist my charms and charismatic looks.It's true aunt we are friends.""I never thought I'd see the day when you are friends with a woman Bruno." Maya told him."Neither did I."His eyes landing on Sage."Dinner will be served soon.Let's head into the dining room."They all did Sage began to relax through dinner, conversation was kept light not that she took part in it listening in this case was better.They seemed like a nice family very down to earth Maya also seemed different from her sister,she's genuinely sincere and friendly towards her Sage had thought Maya would shoot da
"He isn't himself."Kim continued."Looks like you not the only one who's unhappy.""I don't want to talk about Bruno Kim."It brings back thoughts she'd rather forget.She accept there won't ever be a future between them and if everyone keeps on talking about him then how will she move on."Do you mind.""Of course not."Kim said."Are you still going out to dinner with him."They are suppose to go this Saturday but she'll be at home she has send back the dress along with all the jewelry he had send."No,I send all the stuff back.""Including that beautiful navy blue gown that had pearls beaded into it.""Everything Kim."She said,all she does have is the phone and the apartment when she'd asked Mr Jensen if she can move to another apartment he had said all the rooms are taken and leased out for an entire year.Sage had even looked at other apartment blocks but unfortunately they all are too expensive and not in her pocket range,now she was stuck here.Sage looked at her boys she feels guilty e
Bruno looked at the bracelet again,he's certain it was Sage's he had seen her wear it the night of Hugo and Maya's dinner party,the very same bracelet she'd drop in the driveway.The question now is how did it get in his office underneath his desk as far as he knows only cleaning staff are here after hours.He buzzed his assistant."Leandra.Can you please come into my office.""I'll be there in moment Mr Romero."A second later a knock came from the door he told her to come in."While I have been away has anyone come looking for me.A woman.""No sir."She answered."Apart from the cleaning staff who comes after hours has anyone been in my office.""Not that I know of Mr Romero.""Think carefully Leandra.You stayed late the other night working on the new reports I asked you to prepare for when I come back,have you seen anyone.""No sir the only person who was here was the cleaning lady,she came to clean the boardroom and your office other than that no one came up here.Is something wrong sir
He is so in shape,and hard all over,he felt good light dark chest hair tickled her palms soon his shirt was gone too,Sage allowed her hands to explore every inch of him to capture each line of his body.He took her to the couch and sat down she was straddling his big thighs,Sage rocked her hips into him a deep groan came from him as he held her down onto his hard erect length."Oh Sage my sweet Sage."He husked in her throat,kissing his way down her neck.Her body is on fire all it wanted was to lose control with him buried deep inside of her.When his hands went to her bra she froze immediately,he felt it too because he stop."What?What's wrong."She has just stopped breastfeeding the boys her nipples are sore and she still has slight pain in her breasts the doctor had said it will be gone in a few days or so,her milk is almost completely gone.How will she explain this to Bruno it's...it's private and intimate."I..uhm-..Oh god." She groaned."This is so embarrassing."She bit her lip like sh
"Sean please.Have it.You need it more besides I wouldn't have send it if we needed it,I worked double shifts over the weeks.It's no big deal.You've done so much for us helped me with the boys,baby sat when I looked for work and in return you never asked anything.""I'm your brother Sage it's my duty to look after you.""Mine too.I love you Sean.""Me too.Look after yourself and kiss the boys for me.""I will.Send my regards to Gina,and I'm still waiting to be an aunt.""Let me find another job that pays well."Although Sean has finished college finding a good job that pays well was harder than expected."We'll talk soon." She went about her daily chores after the call,Logan went to bed first later that night Liam on the other hand was in a playing mood it's seven and he's still awake.Sage doesn't know what time Bruno will come but hopefully Liam will be asleep by the time he arrives. Eventually when Liam went to bed she rushed to take a quick shower,when eight struck she was done at th
Sage gently covered each of the twins with their blankets when she's sure they are asleep,today her beautiful princesses Sofia and Clara have turned four months she cannot believe so much time has passed already.At eight months she'd given birth to the girls one night she and Bruno had been making love her contractions had began when he had been deeply inside her,Sage smiled at the memory as if it was yesterday the fear and concern on Bruno's face when he'd thought he had hurt her when she had screamed out in pain.He's such a loving caring husband and an even greater father,they've been here in Whittier since he came for them and they haven't left since Bruno says he loves the privacy and silence here it gives them time to bond and be together as a family something they wouldn't have done if they'd been in Miami.He took an executive position before the birth of the girls now he's with them everyday working from home and giving them his full attention.The girls arrival has seemed to
"Don't throw away our love Sage,I know you still love me I can see that I also know you've yearned and longed for me the same way I have for you.Allow me to be the father our children need."He came to her and pulled her gently to her feet he then knelt before her and placed his hands on her belly, stroking it tenderly rubbing it with so much love,the twins moved when he began to speak in his native language."Bruno what are you doing?"She asked."Asking for their forgiveness.Daddy's sorry I ever doubted you could be mine my princesses I'll make it my life's mission to apologise for it every chance I get."Sage bit her trembling bottom lip."That's enough."She moved away but he pulled her back and cupped her face with both his hands,she gasped at the coldness of his hands."What's wrong?Did I hurt you.Is it the babies."Genuine concern glowed in those gorgeous eyes.She shook her head."You should go it's getting late.I accept your apology and I believe you're sincere when you say you're
They have missed their father and she did too his presence brings safety,security, love and happiness the place itself felt warm all of a sudden like a home should feel,due to him being here but she shouldn't get ahead of herself,he's got another family in Miami with Lana she mustn't forget that,he probably came all the way here to talk about their divorce proceedings and how they'll split visitation rights between the boys."Their food is ready?"She said going to see why the boys are so happy and giggling,Bruno was lying on the floor and Logan and Liam are on top of him he was tickling each of them,they looked so alike with their jet black hair against their beautiful olive skin tone and grey eyes,they boys are laughing so freely oblivious a smile spread across her own face they could've been so happy she thought if only things hadn't turn out the way it did,averting her gaze she saw piles of woods chopped and stacked in the corner near the fireplace,has Tyler already been here witho
They haven't spoken in months nor has she allowed him to see the boys if he cannot accept their twins girls then he has no right to claim Liam and Logan too,next week she'll be six months pregnant she wonders if she'll go into early labor like she did with the boys,at eight months she'd given birth to them.It doesn't matter as long as they are healthy and well then the rest doesn't matter last month she had found out their genders and it's twin girls the doctor has said her pregnancy is coming along perfect there's no signs of the babies being in any harm all she needs to do is take it easy and rest more.If only that was possible with the boys having to contain two active boys is taking a toll on her body she feels ten months pregnant instead of six as time goes on she's gonna need help a full time nanny and with her salary here at the library she doubts it would be possible unless after the birth she gets two jobs.Four months ago after visiting Sean for a few days Sage had book he
"Tomorrow makes a week since Bruno hasn't come home Margarita there's nothing left here for me.It's over and I accept that.""You cannot go.You not strong enough.""Thank you.I'm gonna miss you."Sage gave her a hug."Suzanne said it's fine if I travel but I shouldn't over do it."Tears gathered in Margarita eyes it touched her heart."Margarita please,I must go.This isn't my home anymore Bruno will bring someone else I'm not welcomed here.Don't forget me.""I won't.Where are you going?""I'll visit my brother for a few days after that I don't know I'll see where the wind blows me.""Take good care of yourself and the boys don't forget about me either.""I promise."Sage got up and went to strap each of the boys in their car seats it's gonna be long drive not that she mind it will give her time to think of what she can tell her brother when she gets home.She knows he'll ask questions and she must be prepared,Margarita gave her a picnic basket."It's for the road.""You didn't have to.""Yo
"Now you know how I feel."He spat at her."It's a bitter pill to swallow isn't it."Sage wanted to hate him throw something at him but couldn't whatever he says or whatever she does won't change the truth,and even knowing he's cheating on her it won't make her love him less.How ironic life can be."If leaving me is really what you want then fine I won't stop you.I'll raise my kids alone I survived without you before and I will again.Loving you won't stop it will take me a lifetime to get over you and move on,having to live without you will be hard but for the sake of our unborn babies I must.Whether you believe me or not these two lives that are growing inside me are your seeds your blood and that of our sons as well as mine are running through their veins. There's no need to leave your home the only intruder in here is me."Sage fought hard not to cry in front of him what felt like an eternity he eventually took his jacket and left,he left the room,the house,her life and her heart too.
"Congrats sis you and Bruno didn't waste time,I thought you guys agreed to wait for a while.""Sometimes faith has something else in store for us."She said."I know,how did Bruno take the news."Sean asked."He's so happy especially when he heard it's twins again.""More identicals."Her brother said."You're certainly gonna have your hands full in a few months time.""Lord knows how on earth I'm gonna cope,Liam is becoming cheeky and naughtier by the day.""He's growing up maybe the new set of bundles will calm him down.And Logan how is he.""Logan doesn't give me any problem only his brother does.""Hang in there if there's one thing I know is that you're a strong woman and besides Bruno is there to help so don't worry."If only she and Bruno are in a good place then everything won't be so hard."Sage I've gotta go,I'll tell Gina to call you and take care of yourself my nephews too.I love you guys.""We love you too Sean.Bye bye."She ended the call with a sigh.Where are you Bruno I need
"And now we'll never know won't we."He continued over her."Because Hugo and I share the same DNA both test would prove we are the fathers.There's nothing I'd love more than to be those babies father to get a second chance and experience everything I couldn't with the boys with them,to see you glow from the inside out.""It is your baby."She said desperately."I promise you that."He scoffed."You've no idea how painful it is for me to know my brother could've fathered your baby,a baby that should be ours.I can't even be happy because I don't know if it's mine or not and if you slept with Hugo within three days of sleeping with me then we'll never know who's the father. You took the right of me becoming a father again away,you stole it and for that I'll never forgive you."He walked away from her."Bruno.Wait!Listen to me."When he looked at her again she saw tears glisten in his eyes he truly was hurt and really believes his brother made her pregnant he really does think the baby isn't hi
"Work,should I expect you.""A night out of the house might do me good.What time.""Seven."Sage nodded."See you later."When Kim was gone she went upstairs to see the boys she heard Bruno was in their room talking to Margarita."I'm going out tonight don't prepare food for me,I don't know what time I'll be back."He's going out alot and coming home late sometimes he doesn't come home at all she's suspecting there might be someone else the thought brought little comfort to her already broken heart.She went inside making her presence known."How are you feeling."She asked him."Fine."He clipped and headed for the door."Is there someone else.""What if there is.What then."Sage didn't know what hurt more his harsh tone or the possibility that he's trying to forget her with someone else."Nothing I was just asking.""You slept with my brother why can't I do the same.I have needs as a man and we're not sharing a bed or sleeping together I need to sate my lust,and since I don't have a wife.."
