CHAPTER 10 – A Hot Night

ARIADNE

I returned home a little after midnight. I peeked in the kids’ rooms and saw Theo in our daughter’s room. She wakes up a lot through the night, and if any of us aren’t awake to return her to her bed, she ends up in ours.

I filled the bathtub while undressing and removing my makeup, soaked in for a good ten minutes, washed myself, and put on my bathrobe.

I got out of the bathroom at the same time as Theo was from Anne’s room.

“Hey,” he said lowly.

“Hi,” I smiled back, kissing him gently.

“So, how did it go?” he asked.

“I think I nailed it. Everyone seemed to be totally happy. The couple, the guests, Mrs. Pappa.” I blurted out.

“Oh, my darling. I knew it. I’m so proud of you. And I can see that you are really happy…”

“I am… Actually, I’m on top of the world right now.” I laughed low so as not to wake the kids.

“Well, I’m not,” he said, his expression changing. “I am disappointed… very, very disappointed.” He said that, coming even closer to me.

“Why?” I asked, confused. Wasn’t he happy with my success?

“Because before you left, I told you I wanted to undress you tonight. And you removed your clothes alone. You didn’t even think of me while I was thinking of you the whole night.” He spoke. Lust was clear in his eyes.

“I thought you were minding the kids the whole time?” I teased him.

“A man can dream. Especially a man watching Disney.” He said, taking my hand and leading me to bed.

“Come on … I want you on top of me. Not the world’s.” He said, using my earlier words for his own benefit, while untying my robe.

“Hmmm, I’m sorry. I’ll be more cautious next time.” His hands started trailing my body, and I liked it.

“I’ve missed you…” he said while kissing my neck sensually.

“Oh, come on. It’s not my fault I had my period … Aaagh!” I silently moaned as he cupped my pussy, massaging it gently.

Being in a house with kids, we had learned to be quiet during the deed. Hushed moans and whispers, everything in low tones, but the sensation through the years has leveled up. Especially after Anna-Elisabeth, our sex has gained an inexplicable quality, and we overjoyed it every time even more. Perhaps it was due to the fact that we couldn’t do it whenever we wanted, but when we had the chance, it was … wow.

Theo kissed my lips and then continued kissing me from my neck, down to my breasts, and to my belly until he reached me down there.

“Hmmm, fresh, clean, and smooth… Just perfect!” he whispered, and his breath fanned my wet opening, making me even more aroused.

He started licking my clit, sucking it gently at first while inserting two fingers inside me slowly in, then out again and again. After a while, he increased the speed, earning my moans of pleasure. He glanced at me, our eyes locking. He knew I liked it.

“You like it, huh?”

“Yes! Don’t stop. I’m close.” I told him.

His fingers were doing miracles and combined with this wet and warm tongue sucking my soft spot, had me build up my orgasm in just a few seconds. My walls started to clench, and I let it go, whimpering from the satisfaction he was giving me. Theo withdrew his fingers and plunged into me with his dick swiftly, staying all in for a few seconds and then moving out, getting used to the sensation.

“Sweetheart, when I enter you like that after you come, it is like taking your virginity all over again. So tight…” he said, panting while ramming me. I wrapped my legs around his waist and moved my hands, caressing his back.

“Yeah…I like it too. Can I ride you?” I asked him while kissing him.

“In a moment…” He enjoyed it too much to stop now, and I tried changing the position of my legs once in a while so that I could feel the friction in other spots, too. After a while, he was nearing, and he got out of me, sitting with his back on the headboard. I straddled him. “My turn…” I giggled while sinking him into me. I started pouncing on him slowly so as not to initiate his orgasm but to prolong it. I circulated my pelvis, and moved back and forth, up and down, while kissing his lips gently and heading his hands to my breasts. At some point, he looked at me. He couldn’t hold it anymore and begged me with his eyes to go faster. He didn’t need to talk to me. I knew just by looking at him.

“Faster, it is!” I whispered in his ear.

I started moving faster, and his hands moved to my ass cheeks, helping my movement. Moments later, he was at the edge and asked me, “All in?”

“All in. Always all in!” I moaned while he grunted, releasing his seed into me.

I touched my forehead on his.

“I love you, Theo.”

“I love you, my life.” He kissed me gently and wrapped his hands around me, hugging me tighter.

We stayed a few moments like that, savoring our high, and then we headed to the bathroom to clean ourselves up. We wore our pajamas, and Theo lay down in bed waiting for me while I went to the kids to check on them and kiss them.

“So, tell me about tonight?” Theo inquired when I lay next to him, snuggling.

“Well, it was as planned. Basically no… Do you remember Mr. Harry from last year?”

“The wedding last July?”

“Exactly. His son’s wedding, I organized.”

“You had told me he was a nuisance.”

“He still is. He threw his steak at the chef. The poor girl wanted to ditch her job because of the disrespect he showed her.”

“Poor thing. Her food is delicious. I remember that event we attended together, she cooked amazingly.”

“She is excellent not only in her job but as a character, too. Good and kind, but a little bit sensitive.”

“In the profession she chose, she needs to toughen up. Some clients are harsh. Like Mr. Harry Grumpy, today.” We laughed together at that old man’s nickname. I used the same earlier, too.

“The video rocked. The guests were holding on to their tears.”

“It was a great idea. Your initiatives are always the best. I’m so proud of my woman.” Theo said while hugging me tighter and kissing my forehead.

“The fireworks and the flying lanterns, too. It was so romantic…” I trailed.

“Well, while we were out, Anna-Elisabeth spotted them in the sky. When I told her it was mama’s idea, she was so excited. Our little girl started counting them, and the boys were correcting her. She hit the mark of 43. She is very clever.”

“Well, they were 70. One for each year of their marriage… I really wish we could celebrate our anniversaries.”

“Sweetheart, I really wish we could celebrate the platinum, too. But let’s just reach the golden one first.” He smiled.

“The first milestone is the silver at 25 years. I think it’s manageable.”

“Of course, it is. I hope God gives us health, and our love can overcome everything else.” Theo stated.

“Yeah…The kids would be all grown up, and we would be left alone.” I said it sadly.

“Hey, they would have their own families. They can’t just stay with us forever.”

“Yeah… They can’t…”

“You’ll have me… I’ll have you. What more do you need? Maybe we would have grandchildren.” He said, beaming.

“This reminds me that the Pappa’s old couple will soon have a great-great-grandchild. Do you believe it?”

“Wow… How old are they?”

“Mrs. Aphrodite told me they are both 88.”

He didn’t respond… And I continued.

“Adam got a €500 tip.”

“Lucky guy. Half a month’s salary in just a night. From whom?”

“It was that tourist, David.”

“No, it wasn’t. Don’t tell me he approached you again.” Theo whispered a little louder this time. He was angry. Fuming.

Why did I have to tell him? I should avoid this conversation. Just wanted to share the highlights of the night. I didn’t think mentioning David would piss him off so much. I won’t lie, especially to Theo, nor do I withhold or keep secrets from him. So, it was better that he knew everything.

“Well, actually, he bought me a drink, and we had a pleasant conversation. He just kept me company while I was in my usual spot at the bar. In a friendly manner.”

“And you accepted? Ariadne! You don’t drink at work!” His eyes were throwing daggers at me. My husband was pissed off.

“It was after that stunt that old Harry pulled on Milena. I was annoyed. I just sipped that drink two or three times. Come on…” I pleaded with Theo.

“What was he doing there? Was he a guest?”

“No. He’s staying there.”

“How do you know?” He asked, irked.

“I saw him last Monday on my way to my appointment with Mrs. Pappa.” I plainly answered.

“What did you talk about?” he asked bluntly.

“He told me that he was amazed by the event I planned. That he had attended many events, but nothing compared to mine. Then he asked me about the kids. I asked him if he had family and where he was from. Casual things…” I blurted out in one breath.

“And?” he asked.

“And…?” I asked back.

“Anything else…” he said, scrutinizing me. His eyes never leave mine.

“He congratulated me on my job and left.”

“Ariadne…” He knew there was more to hear. My man could read me like an open book.

“Theo…” I countered, unaffected.

“I feel like you’re not telling me something.” He gritted his teeth.

“Well, he told me I was beautiful…” I whispered.

“Tell me exactly what he told you.” He slightly raised his tone.

“That… I was ravishing…” I told him the exact word that David used. In the English language.

“Listen Ariadne…” Theo started. His rage was palpable in his words.

“I don’t want you near him, ever again!” He demanded.

“Theo, I love you. Don’t you trust me?” I didn’t want to make him feel jealous or that he was losing me. He was my man. David was nothing to me.

“I trust you. It’s him I don’t trust. So, please. Until he leaves this place, I want you to be extra cautious, ok?” He asked me gently this time.

“Ok,” I promised. “I didn’t want to upset you. I really wanted to avoid him tonight, but when he talked so enthusiastically about my job, I started talking, too. It was just a casual conversation, I swear. Nothing more.”

“Ok. My life. I’m sorry for my outburst. I’m just concerned. I really don’t like the idea of him approaching you. That’s all.” He sincerely said.

“I’ll try to avoid him if I bump into him again. Ok? I won’t speak to him.”

“I love you!” Theo confessed, tightening me even more in his embrace.

“I love you, too. So, where are we heading tomorrow morning?” I wanted to change David’s subject.

“Somewhere nearby. We’ll ask the kids.” He spoke.

“Great. So, can we sleep now? I’m really tired.” I said, yawning.

“Yes, sweetheart. Goodnight…” He gave me one last kiss.

“Goodnight, my love…” I whispered.

I closed my eyes, and soon I was peacefully sleeping in the warmth of my husband’s embrace. 

Completely ignorant of the man lurking outside my home a little while ago…
