Nathaniel's Captive; Vicious Love XXXII
With her consciousness still lingering over the edge of falling wide awake, she felt a pair of soft lips being pressed upon her red-hued cheek very gently. "Get up, Delilah. The sun is up," said he, his deep voice ringing in her ear and his breath caressing her hot skin. She hummed, raising an arm to touch his face as he woke her up so lovingly. Her face turned slightly to look at him and her eyes peeled open. Nathaniel stayed mesmerized by the gentle act of his wife and looked into her eyes as she opened them. He was now lost, too. How could he look into them and not lose himself in them like they were pools of paradise itself? Last night also, he was spellbound to kiss the beauty of her eyes as he made love to her. They shed tears yet the love in them couldn't cease pouring out for him. Oh, how much he loved it. He never knew if love tasted so good and felt so warm as if the very dire need of his body. He couldn't back off once he started. Delilah was the most different woman i
Nathaniel's Captive; Vicious Love XXXIII
Nathaniel came out of the bathroom after taking a shower because of how his wife made him step out in the rain. Though rain was never his thing and he was never fond of getting wet in it, Delilah changed his perspective when she stepped into his life. For him, rain might not bring a smile to his face but he knew his wife could do it just by existing. Playing so carelessly with his wife in the rain and chasing her until she was in his arms was indeed fun. He liked it. Liked it very much when he got to kiss her and tease her over tiny reasons. Watching her blush so furiously always made him sigh in possessiveness for her. That smile, those blushes, that soft look in those eyes — only belonged to him. Why would he let it go then? He knew he did nothing to deserve it but to keep it to himself, he needed to cherish it. After enjoying themselves, they came inside the house and straight walked into their room. The maids downstairs were surprised to find him wet in the rain. They kne

After what she said to him, the air around them was seized with tension. It was as if everything had stopped.The look in her doleful eyes held him accused as if he was behind the very bars. The tears in them were louder than the words said by her and it troubled him even more. But the question asked by her was unsettling.He decided to ask the first thing that he wanted to know after he heard her, “Who told you that?”A shaky breath escaped her lips. She never wanted such a thing to happen between them. She wasn't even sure that one day she'd ask him as if he was the murderer of her father but his profession and time made her go through this.She was disturbed to ask him but she needed answers to settle the matter between them.“Whoever it be, why don't you tell me the truth, Nate?” her wavering voice released another question, the innocence of doubt was unable to catch his attention.He sighed, “Whoever it can be, Delilah. I can't take the risk because that ‘whoever’ can be harmful,

His nerves were still boiling and he was only dreaming of killing the men who even tried to look at Delilah. Didn't he know how pleasant his wife was?He knew and trusted Delilah enough but his possessiveness ruled over his faith in her and he ended up asking strange and absurd questions to her.

Her cries reached his ears and he quickly got up, panicked as he saw his wife bearing the pain alone. The discomfort was on her face, twisted in an ache that troubled her abdomen. She asked him to call someone and he decided to call an ambulance but she denied it. She told him that she wouldn't be able to tolerate the pain for so long. She just wanted him to call the women servants. She trusted them enough. He was reluctant but obeyed her. The servants came hurriedly and surrounded Delilah. Nathaniel walked outside the room, not really wanting to leave his wife on her own. But he had to trust the servants as Delilah did. However, one thing he surely did; was pray. He prayed for her.

3 MONTHS LATER She pressed on her toes, trying to reach the jar. Her arm stretched forth to get it but she failed, making her scowl. Then he came. His fresh scent met her senses, enveloping her from behind. He smelled of pine and neem, his musk was attractive. His warmth surrounded her when his chest pressed against her back, making her realize how close he stood. His arm rested beside her, grabbing the slab. With another arm, he grabbed the jar that was put inside the cabinet. His body pressed lightly against hers before he moved back, leaving the jar on the slab beside her hand. She took it, turning around. “Thank you,” she said, looking up at him as he stood tall right behind her. “How many times have I told you not to do such things, Del?” he scolded her lightly, putting both his arms on either side of her, leaning closer. His soft and cold breath fell on his face. He had just taken a shower and was now downstairs, yet his muscles exuded a warmth that could turn anyone blin

Delilah's eyes opened but her lips kept moving. She felt a presence beside her but she paid no heed to it. She moved aside from the prayer mat and rolled it. She grabbed it to put it aside. Fortunately, when she asked that man for a mat, he provided her with one without saying a word of mockery. She was glad about it. Wherever she went, she wasn't going to give up on her prayer. She moved around the room to put aside the mat along with the Bible when the person uttered from behind, “How long are you going to ignore me?”She didn't answer. She didn't even hurry to look at the person but took her time arranging back her things. She then turned around and found her in the room, looking pissed off. She didn't say a word. Couldn't. Finding her at her abductor's house wasn't a normal thing. It was another surprise she received the other day. It's been three days since she was found to be in someone else's house. Horrible!“What are you doing here?” could only ask Delilah, keeping her ey

Her eyes watered as she stared down at her husband. Blood, getting mixed with the dripping water, was flowing around him. His eyes were closed, eyelashes all wet by the rain and blood. Her heart squeezed inside her chest as she looked at him, tears flowing down her cheeks. The water falling from above drenched her, letting no trace of tears remain on her face.She covered her mouth, her eyes falling shut. She couldn't believe he was dead. He couldn't die; he couldn't leave her alone. How much she loved him, only to see the night of his demise? No, she never waited for it. How much she prayed for this man, not to see him like that. What could she even say to her God? She had no word of complaint but only sorrow that kept growing inside her chest like a deadly plant, poisoning her from inside. How could she bear the pain of being left alone by her very other half? Surely, she had God by her side, but what about the life she cherished so close to her heart? What about the promises

He looked happy. His smile was soft. “God bless me,” she mumbled, sitting upright. He chuckled. “God bless you,” he asserted, cocking a brow. Sitting beside her on the bed's edge, he let his eyes behold his wife. “What can I do for you today?” She blinked her eyes, realizing how rich was her husband by his heart to offer something like that to her. He put a great offer before her but added in a moment, “Except for leaving Mafia.” She couldn't help but smile, shaking her head. “I wasn't going to ask for it,” she admitted honestly. However, she wanted it to happen. She knew there would be other ways, too.Her God was able. He nodded his head. “What is it then?” “Let's do something good today.

“Grandpa,” said Nathaniel, his voice soft and alluring to Edgar's ears. The man looked up at the door and smiled. The caretaker also found Nathaniel and his wife at the door and moved to help Edgar in sitting. This time the old man didn't complain. He rather thanked the young man. “Nate,” Edgar said, raising an arm to call his grandson closer. The couple walked over to the old man and Nathaniel sat beside him. “How are you doing?” asked his grandson.“As you see,” Edgar shrugged.
