Back to the present time, on their first night, Andrea reacted to his ministrations without much thought. Her body moves every which way he touches her. After his initial release inside her, he lavished kisses against her skin. They were both sweating. Her body feels a little clammy as she took deep breaths, calming the fast beating of her heart. She remembered how she shouted upon reaching her climax and blushed beet red upon recalling where they currently are. She would never have thought that they would be doing this in his parents’ house.
“Wayne…” She called for him, but moaned when his mouth found her center. He slowly licked her insides, the scent of their coupling permeating the air. He ran his tongue through her slit and sucked on her nub. She lifted her hips, pushing herself against his mouth as the pleasure built up again. His hands gripped her hips to keep her in place but she still struggled to move. Setting her legs over his shoulders, he
Wayne just laid on his back with Andrea in his arms. It’s been a long while since he had such a sex-filled pleasurable night.Her breathing slowly turned normal and their body also cooled down. He reached over for the blanket and pulled it over themselves. He wasn’t joking when he said he can last all night but the moment she slept, he found himself resting as well.Andrea woke up beside him, her hand on his body and his on hers. She realized their nakedness under the sheet. As she untangles her limbs between his, he woke up.“Hmm?” He feels so rested the moment he opened his eyes.As she put pressure on her legs when she sat, she grimaced at the pain. Her legs still feel weak.“Need help?” Wayne stood and walked around the bed to her side.She blushed at how unbothered he is by his nudity.“Wear something.” She looked away as he stood in front of her. He paused for a few seconds, before
“Wait, wait, wait…” Andrea held him off when he pushed her down the bed after clearing up the trays.“What?” He frowned as he looked at her expression. She looks aggrieved and bullied.“Don’t tell me you’re sore? We haven’t done much last night.”She glared at him and pinched his arm, “My hips are sore. My legs. Can I rest first?”“Hmm…”It seemed to her that he wasn’t listening as he looked her over.Wayne looked at the lower half of her body and decided to seek pleasure from the upper half. He opened her robe and gently touched her breasts and her waist. She wasn’t wearing anything underneath.“Alright, then.”Her eyes widened at the way he played with her body and the pleasure she got from it.“Wait, wait, wait...” She suddenly moved further into the bed to get away from him.“Wh
Andrea lived in contentment after that weekend. She acts as a proper wife with him. She would sometimes visit his office to bring a meal or something to eat, afterwards she would talk to his assistants about the next project. Jay was doing a great job coordinating the needs of the business they will be opening soon. They also placed trustworthy individuals in the management level so she’s not worried.She immediately jumped onto working on her second proposal. It was part of their deal. When she reminded him, he only hummed his reply. An hour later, he assigned another of his assistants to work with her.Every night after that weekend, they would sleep together. She didn’t think he knew so much and he’d do those things with her. She was so embarrassed the first week when he introduced different positions to her and she went along with him. Once, he dragged her out on the balcony and entered her repeatedly from behind as she grasped the railing. She ho
Andrea didn’t think she would actually get along well with Wayne. Though, it still feels like they’re keeping a certain distance from each other. They started it all with a contract, after all. But so far, she’s content with it. Given his own experience, it’s unlikely that he would cheat and find another woman for himself. She consoled herself with that idea.Over the last few months, she realized that he has a dark sense of humor. As they both work in business, there are a lot of things they can talk about. Mostly, she would come to him with a news about another corporation or organization. They rarely engage in topics outside of their career.He would use sarcasm when talking about the mistakes other companies have made and would predict a slew of dark things if they don’t get their shit together.She hasn’t found what tickles his funny bone yet. She would see him smiling, slightly, on any given day. But he rarely laughs. Ok
He’d asked her security to provide materials and more details about the incident.In a way, he knew he reacted rashly. He should’ve asked her properly, but he couldn’t hold his anger back. He simply… unleashed it on her. And she paid the price of something she most likely didn’t bring on for herself.He vaguely remembered her reactions last night. She cried. She shed tears. Did she tell him to stop? It was very likely but he had no recollection of all that.His expression turned grim. This morning, he’d seen her bare skin as he left the bed. He’d left bruises on numerous parts of her body. He couldn’t bring himself to face her after that.He needed to control himself. And he needed information.The idiots retrieved a copy of the CCTV video from the café and it was a clear copy. There were two angles available. He’d seen how he talked to her a few times and he’d seen clearly h
Andrea propped her head on one hand as she thought about what she should say.“You know… about him being married before, right?”“Yes…”“His ex-wife cheated on him. He’s still sensitive about that. I… the other day, I went to a café and I saw an ex of mine. Maybe I should’ve left immediately. Anyway, I finished my coffee and cookie before leaving. Wayne heard about it and assumed I purposely met him. You know, like an agreed meeting. He… got jealous. Or something.” She’s not sure if she could call it that, jealousy. His anger most likely stemmed from a sense of betrayal and not jealousy.“Have you explained things to him?”“He didn’t let me speak. I guess he wouldn’t hear any of it. He just…” She waved a hand away to demonstrate her helplessness.“Hmm… I’ll have a word with him about that. He
Wayne had the same urge to find his mom for advice. After office hours, he went to visit her. Her husband has gone on a business trip.He couldn’t decide how to approach Andrea later. Clearly, he needs to apologize first. What should he say? What should he tell her? He couldn’t figure that part out. He rarely apologizes to people in the last few years. He hadn’t needed to.“Oh, hey. You’re home.” His mom greeted him.“Hey, mom.” He went to give her a hug and a kiss.“Hmm, your expression doesn’t look good.” She quickly noticed and his expression darkened further.“I…” He started after sitting next to her. “Andrea…” He exhaled. He couldn’t even tell his mom what exactly happened.“We had a misunderstanding and it was my fault. I may have… hurt her.”“I see.”Wayne deflated under his mother&
When the light was turned on from the inside, his heart was filled with trepidation. Would they drive him away? Would they let him in? Would they get irritated that he came at this time of the night and disturbed them?It was her mother who opened the door and found him debating with himself.“Wayne…” Wena would admit that she’s surprised to see him.He lowered his head as he greeted back, “Mom…”“Why are you here?” She asked.“Uhm…”She noted the way he was acting nervous. He ran a hand behind his neck, couldn’t look at her directly and spoke haltingly with his words.“Is Andrea here?”“Oh… yeah, she is.” She replied without much enthusiasm. If anything, she did act as if she’s irritated. She’s not inviting him in, either.Wayne figured Andrea did talk to her mom. “Uhm, I came to apologize. A
Does Andrea still go out? Yes. Given how those who tried to harm them were treated afterwards, Wayne really hoped no one else would try.Every month, they would only attend a maximum of two parties. Together.They still go out on weekends, but they’re totally random. No fixed time, no fixed place. They’re both seen together in public again. Her security is quite serious but she’s not bothered. In conferences or parties, she would accompany Wayne. Basically, the only time they could meet Mrs. Wayne Anderson is when her husband is with her. Rumors remain that she’s imprisoned at home or something. She only laughs it off. Wayne would sometimes drop her off at her parent’s house or at their companies. Jay has become her personal assistant while managing her own business and those of her parents. She stopped at three. Drew’s not interested in one. When they celebrated their son’s first birthday, she got the news that s
Well, Wayne managed to survive. The next party they attended, Jarred introduced his friends. A man and a woman who are dating. They chatted for a while before Wayne suggested dancing. Of course, he danced with his wife first. Then, Jarred took Andrea and danced with her. Since he’s family, he didn’t feel anything. Andrea then told the woman, Alice, that Wayne’s trying to get used to other women’s presence and asked her and her boyfriend if the lady could dance with him and if the guy could dance with her. One at a time, though. While he danced with Alice, he gave her a bit of a background so he won’t seem weird. Fortunately, she knew a bit about his scandal with the ex-wife. She quickly got the gist of it. Andrea, too, talked to the man, Harry, as they watched their partners.“How long have you guys been dating?”“Just a few months, five… six.”“Ah, I see. Not getting serious yet to consider marr
Wayne noticed her silence in the car, on their way home. He hugged her but she hasn’t made any reaction. She seemed to be thinking deeply. If anything, it looks like she’s sulking. Why, though? He squinted at her and looked back at the events during the party. Many people flocked around them.When they reached home, they went straight to the nursery to check on Ace. Wayne took him into his arms and cuddled him. There’s something soothing about him, tapping the baby and making hushing sounds. Andrea eyed him. He’s still obviously very attractive. Those women were not at all polite. Most of them stared at him without reserve. No doubt, if she wasn’t there, they would’ve tried to flirt with him. Maybe offer themselves up. She sighed. She doesn’t like analyzing people’s behavior too much. One of the reasons why she dislikes socializing with strangers. It’s not for her.After putting Ace to sleep, they both kissed him be
She hasn’t told him the details of the party she is going to attend. Likewise, he didn’t ask. When he came home early to prepare for it, he found her sleeping. Thinking she might be tired, he didn’t wake her up. He’ll just go alone.As for Andrea, there was a problem at her company that she had to resolve early that morning. She was fairly tired and went to sleep early when she got home, so she would have the energy during the party.When she saw him, there was a woman at his side. For his benefit, he wasn’t staring at her. But Andrea still glared at him. Who knew she’s also the jealous type? Prior to this, Wayne has never been close to any woman. He’d never gone on dates. He always kept his distance during events like this. That woman was itching to put her hand on his arm, though. She can see that much.Wayne stepped away from the woman, but she inched closer still. He frowned. There’s still someone who thinks he
Ace is now six months old. The nanny and the maids are all over him. The grandparents also visit a lot. They don’t need to be so worried about him. Andrea decided to continue her third project. It’s for her own. A business she has to manage. It’s real work. Not as tedious as Wayne’s. She could admit that she would not be able to reach his level. Not many people can and there’s no competition between them anyway. Wayne… he hasn’t told her to stop working. Maybe she does have an advantage over his ex-wife. She can talk business with him and he can talk about his company with her. He could teach her. He could say whatever others may think as boring, but she would find them interesting and informative.Wayne, he still feels a bit guilty. Seeing her cooped up at home and occasionally going to the offices, his and that of her parents, he wants her to feel free to go out anytime and anywhere.He would take her out on weekends. Having
Wayne sighed. “I’m not gonna lie. I probably would have, but my brain would definitely try to rationalize it. You’ve always been home. You’ve been very careful when you go outside. You wouldn’t have the opportunity to…” He stopped at seeing her glare.“Excuse me? Do I need an opportunity?” Her tone is…“Of course not. You never had that intention. You were never interested in other guys, were you?”“I didn’t have the time to get interested. I was too busy. Even when I met you, I really had no intention of getting into a relationship.”“Glad I caught you, then.” He pressed a kiss on the right side of her face.“Then, I guess it shouldn’t matter if she came to piss you off today or back then. You wouldn’t have believed her, right?”“Well, I do have a propensity to distrust whatever she says or does.”
Wayne named him Ace.At the hospital, Andrea had a hard time giving birth to him. She was utterly exhausted. The baby was healthy. When the parents came to visit, they saw Wayne carefully holding him as an elderly woman guided him from the side, holding a cotton towel and wiping the baby’s face when he drools in his sleep. She was hired as a nanny and a mother of one of the maids in their household.Wayne enthusiastically greeted them, showing off the baby.“Looks just like you as a baby.” His mother commented.“How do you remember something from so long ago?” Wayne replied with a smile, but he’s glad to hear it.“Oh, you never looked at your baby pictures, did you? I brought them with me. Come, look.”Wayne’s lip twitched as he blinked. The in-laws huddled around his mother. She laid the albums near the end of the bed as Wena carried her grandson.“Oh, they really look alike
Andrea’s eyes widened. She wanted to ask what did she just hear, but he didn’t stop from kissing her.He’s afraid, that she would reject him. He wanted to fool himself. She was kissing him back. That should mean something, right? He believes they like each other and Andrea seems to be the committed type. She’s faithful to him because they’re married. She treats him as a proper husband. She acts like a real wife. But does she love him, too?She moaned as his kiss turned aggressive. She wanted to pull back as they’re still in the living room, but he wouldn’t let her go. She slid down the couch, prompting them to separate for a moment. She took this chance to take a breath and covered his mouth with her hand.In that moment, she saw how his expression wavered, showing anxiety.She removed her hand and pecked his lips.“Let me breathe a little.” She sounded breathless as she lay there. Wayne froze f
The next day, she started having the so-called morning sickness. It was concerning, if you ask Wayne. Personally, she feels as if something’s sucking her stomach out as she heaved over the sink. When she mentioned it, he had her eat some porridge before dragging her to the hospital. With his connections, requiring an appointment didn’t matter.His first question was, “Is that normal?”The female doctor smiled, “Yes, it’s very normal. I understand it’s your first pregnancy but it’s nothing to worry about.”She then gave them a lecture on how to deal with it, the remedies, before moving onto giving them general reminders on what food to avoid at this time.“Take note of the smells that triggers your nausea. It’s different for everyone, but the most common is a fishy smell.”And then, they moved to the adjacent room for the ultrasound. Wayne tried to be calm about it, but his hand
