"Dinner will be served soon.Let's enjoy the cool breeze before going down.""It is nice up here."Sage admitted and sipped her wine."Aren't you drinking?""I only drink one glass of wine with my food."He said."So what made you decide to choose your boat.""I wanna be alone with you."His hands came up to touch her hair,he let it slip through his fingers."You have beautiful hair it's the first thing that caught my attention when we met in the club for the first time.""I didn't see you until we bumped into each other at the bar.""But I saw you beautiful.I was watching you from a distance,you didn't pay attention to anything or anyone because you were having too much fun with your friends.All the guys that came up to you,that wanted to dance with you I saw how you turned them all down.When you went to the bar I knew if I didn't make a move then I'd regret it forever."She held his gaze."So us bumping into each other wasn't a mistake you planned it.""We were meant to meet that night Sag
"I'm a very observant man I pay attention to what's going on around me,yes I have years of experience when it comes to women but you're wrong in thinking I've bought lingerie for different women,I know one woman's size and bought lingerie for her too.Her name is Sage Palmer."Her heart stopped at hearing him say that."When it comes to you I pay attention to everything."He took a step closer but didn't touch her."I know your scent,the smell of your skin,how you respond to my caresses,my kisses."His fingers trailed over her cheek,Sage leaned into his touch."There's nothing I don't know about you.I know no man has ever made you feel what I do.""You're right."She said."No man has and I don't think any man will."She lowered her gaze."When I'm with you,I lose control and I hate that,I hate that you can weaken me without having to do much.I hate not being able to control my feelings whenever you are near me,this feeling of weakness that you make me feel terrifies me."Slowly she met his gaze
He switched of the shower and climbed out he doubts if he'll be able to sleep at all,when he exit the bathroom he saw her at his bedroom door."Sage?What are you doing here."She jumped slightly he has caught her off guard. "Do you need anything.""Yes."She said,Sage hadn't wanted him to find her like this in his room it might give him the wrong impression,she let her gaze travel the length of his sexy body,his hair was wet and glistening one curl hanging over his forehead making him even more irresistible,tiny droplets of water was still on his skin how she wished she can go over there and kiss each one of them,taste his flesh and ran her hands all over his chest and back,to kiss every inch of his body to trail her fingers over his flat stomach,up to his chest,his broad shoulders and strong forearms to feel his dark chest hairs under her palms,her gaze traveled lower where dark hairs disappeared under the towel,it went even lower to his strong powerful legs.Sage swallowed and met his
He kissed her ontop of the head."I've never had what we just shared with anyone,never felt what you make me feel.Mere words isn't enough to describe how magical it had been."She lifted her head to look at him."It was incredible,you make me feel like a woman.""You are a woman.My woman."The arm around her waist tighten,there is no mistaking the possessiveness in his hold."You're all mine Sage Palmer."He kissed the tip of her nose.Sage almost said she wasn't that he was getting engaged soon but she held her tongue,the outside world doesn't exist it's only them for this entire night.She planted a soft kiss on his chest,and rubbed her cheek against his jaw."If you keep doing that I won't be able to keep my hands off you."Sage snuggled to him,she felt his hardness brush her thigh."I don't want you to keep your hands of me.I want you,I want to make love to you for the entire night, anywhere,everywhere I can have you,anyway you want to take me."She rolled over him,his hands came up to cup
"That paper will run worldwide the second I give the go ahead.You wanted to know who my secretive fiancee is now you do.""I never agreed to marry you."She yelled softly."You told me you're getting engaged.""I never said to whom."He drank his coffee as if nothing was wrong it angered her even more."Sage Romero."He tested."I like it.""I will not marry you,I suggest you forget about it.""Don't you want the boys to grow up with both their parents under one roof. Would you really deprive them out of a chance of having a loving home.""Don't you dare bring Logan and Liam into this."Sage took a deep breath getting upset over this won't help."Look Bruno I don't want to marry you nor do I want to get engaged to you.As Liam and Logan's parents we can give and provide a home for them we don't have to be together to do that.""Liam and Logan will grow up under one roof with both their parents,we owe them that.You had two parents,so did I.Will you deny them that.""Bruno there are many parents
"Do you want me to go down on one knee and ask you or would you rather prefer us starting off with a romantic dinner for two.""I don't want you to do any of those things,what I want is for you to stop this madness about us becoming engaged and getting married.That's what I want." "There's nothing crazy about me wanting you to become my wife.Is there."He came over to where she's standing."We slept together without using any protection..-""I know."She interrupted."I told you before I'm on the pill.""You the first woman I made love to without using a condom.""I am."She asked with disbelief."And you'll be the last too."He pulled her up against him."I enjoyed you very much last night and I plan on enjoying you the same way.Your naked skin against mine,it had been exhilarating feeling you the way I did."Her skin began to burn,her pulse raced and he's only holding her in his arms,what is it about this man that makes her blood rush with excitement that gives her butterflies in the pit o
Sage took a deep breath and sat down in one of the chairs."Listening to what.""You cannot fool me Sage,we've been friends for too long.I wanna know everything that happened between you and Bruno.""Nothing happened so there's nothing to tell.""Now I definitely know you slept with him.""No I did not!"She denied."Is he that good in bed,boy aren't you lucky."Sage blushed as if she was there. "Did you sleep at all.""There wasn't much sleeping."Sage said."I knew it!"Her friend shouted."It was only a matter of when.""You didn't know anything.How's my brother.""Forget about Sean,we're still talking about you and Bruno.""There is no Bruno and I Gina.I told you before.""Why don't you let loose and see whatever you guys have where it will lead, you've got nothing to lose Sage.A little fun never killed anyone.""You're right it didn't."Sage said."But with him I stand to lose more than I bargained for,that's why I'm so afraid to let him in.I'm afraid to get hurt Gina.""You're afraid of
"I always have my hands full,and please I insist.I hope you like lasagna it's my favorite not only that I love making it.""On one condition.""Shoot.""I'm helping.""Deal."Sage said,and took out all the ingredients they gonna need."You sure know about cooking."Sage told him a while later,the boys are sitting quietly in their high chairs and playing."Your wife or girlfriend will be lucky to have you.""Me and my girlfriend always did the cooking together, she's the one who taught me actually,she loved food alot."She can see the pain of losing her is still there,he hasn't truly gotten over her,the touch of her hand on his shoulder brought him back."Late night desserts were her favorite.""You loved her alot.""More than life itself.Sorry for mumbling like this I can't remember the last time I talked to anyone.All my family are in Washington.""Don't apologise.I understand,I know how it feels not having anyone to talk to it gets lonely."They went about preparing dinner over the next h
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.."
