SADIE
I’d waited.
Three hours later, still no sign of Cenric. Surprisingly, my banning from technology and the internet was over. I got my phone, cards, and keys back. As if everything was back to normal. The fridge was full. There was also a bag containing a new laptop.
So the full moon was over, and he was back to a regular hard-working man. Jeez, if he wasn’t the most temperamental, frustrating, unpredictable, and annoying man I’d ever met.
He still hadn’t come home. I was tired of waiting. I went to bed when it was already five in the morning.
An hour later, I couldn’t even get a blink of sleep. I sat on the bed with my chin on my knees. I was tempted to call him, though, but if he wanted me to know what made him so late, he would have let me know. I thought he was not the type of husband who informed his wife of his whereabouts.
“Why did you not take this?”
I was startled and quickly glanced up. My heart was
CENRIC “Ready?” “Not sure.” Sadie still looked puzzled. “I really don’t like it if I don’t know where we’re going. What’s with the surprise?” “Trust me. We won’t ride on a roller coaster.” “Damn it, Zhuri.” She touched her necklace. She finally got it back. Her friend even told me that Sadie forced her to accept it as collateral. The elevator slid when we reached the ground floor, where I parked my cars. I had collections from vintage to sports and even customized, but among these, I chose the Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet. If girls loved diamonds, we boys loved our rides. “Why this one?” she asked out of curiosity as she ran her finger on the sleek gray exterior. “Because it’s timeless. It reminds me of you.” She rolled her eyes. “Cheesy.” “Call it cheesy, but that’s the truth.” I closed the door as soon I stuffed her in. “It still smells brand new,” she noticed. Of cours
SADIE I couldn’t believe things between us were getting committed in a short time. I felt like this was surreal. And it scared the hell out of me. When I entered the house, I realized that we started to have a possibility of a long and lasting relationship. Since his birthday party, he’d been nothing but a thoughtful husband and a free-spirited man who had nothing but to please his wife. Cas was right, Cenric seemed to have two personalities, and he could switch the man on top of me right now if the darker side had taken over him. He groaned, seemed unimpressed, “Here you go again.” “What? Why did you stop?” I ran my thumb on his swollen lips. “You’re not with me.” “Really?” I lifted my hips so that I could feel his erection poking deliciously against my core, and the size could split me in half. I was so turned on, and it ached like a bitch. “So you happened to just get this hard on by humping into the bed.”
CENRIC I had hoped it enlightened her against the false pretenses her brother had fed her. I was at the veranda when the guys came over. “So, it’s all good?” Beck was the first one to ask. They had their place in the house with easy access to the main. “Yep.” I sipped my whiskey. I and liquor were not best friends. I wanted a clear head, and it wasn’t a help. “Yet you’re here.” Linden joined in, and so as Devin. “A lot is going on her head. That sick son of bitch fed her with so many lies, and I have to prove it to her, even if it takes forever.” “Easy. Just be honest to your wife,” Devin pointed out. “Easier said than done,” Beck replied. “She’s not ready for the truth.” I groaned to stop him. They didn’t know the whole truth, except Beck. For Linden—not entirely. Devin hadn’t wholly earned my trust. He was in bed with my mortal enemy—the Greer might still have influenced him. I
SADIE I offered my lips freely. Instantly, Cenric captured my mouth, delving with his tongue in. I tasted myself. It was supposed to be mortifying, but I found myself bold as I enjoyed it. I still felt his thick fingers inside me not a moment ago. When my nipples grazed against his chest, I ached again—for his touch, for his kiss, and I felt greedy as I wanted more. I wrapped my hand around his thick and warm length, squeezing the shaft a little. He groaned against me, breaking our kiss. “Babe, don’t.” I froze. I thought my heart stopped at that moment. I could feel the color draining from my face in embarrassment.Doesn’t he like when I do it? “Your hand is as smooth as silk, and I like it a lot, but I won’t last long. And I want to be inside in this second.” His voice was a low rasp. “No. Since I laid eyes on your picture.” “Oh.” My eyes grew a little wider. “Finally, after so long,
CENRIC I felt my mouth twitch against the skin of her back as I felt the slickness of her arousal between her folds. “Are you sore?” She groaned, “You should have asked me first before you touched me.” It was past four in the morning when I felt her holding my hand and drifting on her naked breast. So I started cupping, kneading, and rolling her nipple between my fingers. After that, I let it drift lower, between her thighs, until I found her clit. I rubbed it in a circular motion until she started thrusting her ass into my cock. In an instant, I was hard as a rock. “I want you, babe,” I whispered. My tongue swirled in the shell of her ear, causing her to shiver. “Take me however you want.” She snaked her arm around my neck, and I lifted my head to offer her a kiss, and she instantly took my mouth, thrust her tongue, and sucked mine. I loved how daring she was. I admired it in her. I glided my cock between her as
SADIE “Seriously, bro?” Cas threw his hands in the air as he walked into the kitchen. “You don’t trust me anymore?” Well, he looked pissed, and a pissed Wollf was just as scary as the big bad wolf. “Whoa whoa whoa! I didn’t tell you because I didn’t actually plan on coming here. It just happened, okay? And now that you’re here are you gonna glare at me the whole day?” Cenric offered his hand for a handshake. Cas just stared at it, then at his brother, at me, and the guys already left as soon as they found out Cas was outside the gate. “Fine.” He hugged his brother instead. “You’re gonna make up to me.” “Whatever. Breakfast?” “Nah.” He sat on the stool. His eyes were like a hawk as he pinged pong between Cenric and me. “You two made up?” “Save your breath. Why does everyone making it like a black hole kind of big deal? Why are you really here?” “Play nice.” I hit my husband on his arm. “How do you like the house, C
CENRIC “You have to promise me, Sergeant Wolff, that you will give this to my daughter.” She was clutching my uniform. Her face was so pale and sweaty, but I could see her beauty had aged in her. Her blue eyes were glassy. “No, Dr. Arisov, you will give it to her as soon as we get out of this hell.” I ducked my head, bullets flying everywhere. The old single school building was already filled with bullets hole and the only thing that covered us from those militants. She dragged her breathing. “You know I’m a medical doctor, right? I know my condition. Can I call you—what’s your first name, honey?” “Cenric, doc.” “Nice name.” She held her lower abdomen, where she got shot a few minutes ago. It didn’t damage her artery, but she was bleeding so fast. Our reinforcement would reach us in ten. I was afraid she wouldn’t make it. “Mom gave me the name.” I f
SADIE “Nah. I’m not a fan of raw seafood.” I shook my head as I watched him in surprise. “Anything raw. I just don’t like it, except for fruits and vegetables. I don’t like fish in the Sushi, and I don’t like that one you’re eating.” “Who doesn’t like oysters?” He looked amused. I raised my hand. “Me?” “Why didn’t you say so?” “This dinner is not just all about me, Cenric.” “I guess this is a part of knowing each other.” “Exactly.” “I like any kinds of shellfish, especially clams. I love one in particular. Can’t get over it,” he whispered the last sentence to me. I squeezed my thighs under the table as I imagined what he meant to say. “Oh, what kind is that?” I lifted the wine to my lips, and he just noticed my hand was shaking. “What if we ditch this dinner and we go somewhere else?” He held my hand as I placed the glass on the table. “Are you sure?” “Yeah. Unless you wann
SADIE Three years later… My husband in a perfectly tailored suit was drool-worthy. In a blue military uniform, damn, my uterus just contracted. He always took my breath away, even after years of marriage. Cenric was finally called. He gripped my hand before he rose and walked to the stage to receive his award. I turned to my side to look at my guys, applauding their brother. Cenric was awarded Humanitarian of the year for his philanthropic works and considerable donations to the military. “Once a Marine, always a Marine,” he quoted. “I’m proud to have services this wonderful nation. I would always help and support my brothers in service and our people.” He looked at his award. “Thank you for recognizing my humble works.” He then found me in the audience. “Semper Fidelis.” I rose from my seat just like everyone and applauded him. His brothers in arms loved him—they admired him. So did I. I
CENRIC Jasper’splace was on a small island—a fishing community turned into a beautiful resort that could only be reached by boats. It was a summer paradise, away from crowded tourists. As we arrived at the harbor, the view from there just took my breath away. “How many women did you bring here before me?” I knew she was messing with me. I smiled. “Jealous?” “Nah. I’m always into Greek gods. You know with tan skin, hard specs, dashboard abs with long and thick—” She shrugged, making girls laugh out loud. “Long and thick what, Sadie Wollf?” I reminded her of the surname she was carrying. She shrugged again. “Hair and thighs?” I wasn’t aware the guys were also listening. They burst out laughing. Terrible things happened from my past, and my extreme decisions led me to meet my soulmate—my wife. Sadie never ceased to amaze me. My chest expanded as I realized that God always had reasons for everythin
CENRIC The jet just took off. My wife invited her friends, Maeve and Zhuri, and of course, Becka to this trip. We were supposed to be on our honeymoon, but she decided to do something before our Italy trip. I couldn’t say no to her because after last night, and I didn’t think I could defy my wife again. We were supposed to fuck our brains out, and I should have taken her warning seriously, so here we were, flying to Greece. “I apologized about last night,” I tried to talk it out, hoping it would work. She rested her head on my shoulder as she scrolled the photographs of our wedding. “I didn’t sleep with you because I was mad.” “Oh. You have—” I didn’t finish my words. “Fuck me.” She giggled. “That’s not my fault.” Her smile was wicked. Maybe she was just messing with me or something. Anyhow, I played along. After a few hours, we landed. We were picked up by my contact and drove to the pier. It was hotter this time.
SADIE “Are you nervous?” Becka asked me. I blew a shaky breath. “No. Not at all. I’m excited, unlike my first wedding. I wanted to run if there was a chance. I thought I was marrying a mafia boss.” In a few minutes, I was going to be married to the same man—the love of my life, for the second time—this time, at the back of our house. I wasn’t wearing anything extravagant like my first wedding. This time I wore a minimalist satin-wrapped wedding dress with a hat to honor my late English father, Lewis. Last week, we found out he was buried in London. We took a quick trip and visited his grave. “Are you ready?” I nodded at Austin. “Yes,” I asked him if he could walk me down the aisle. He was even glad and said yes. When the music started, I took a deep breath and walked towards my man waiting for me. He was wearing a simple beige suit and pants and a white crisp open-button shirt. He always looked breathtaking dressed or naked. Fo
CENRIC “I came here today to marry my girl, to cherish her, to protect and respect her, and to be the faithful husband to her. I knew the first time I saw you, and you would be the woman I wanted to spend my life with. I knew you would change me to be the best version of myself. Today, I swear to you to have your back, be your number one supporter, love you faithfully, and honor what we have from today and onwards. I give you my heart, my life, and my soul.” I just watched my vow over and over again as she kept replaying it in the entertainment room. In the video, she looked so innocent as she stared at me while I read my vow. I didn’t write anything. When you were caught in that moment, you just spoke from your heart—that was what happened that day. She wiped her face again. She did that every time she played that clip. She was crying, and I didn’t know why. Did my vow touch her? Had she realized something, or had she changed her min
SADIESince I heard the news weeks ago that my father—the man I thought he was, pleaded guilty on all charges, it kept me awake at night. How wouldn’t I miss when his face was all over the news? And I felt like we had an unfinished business. And I needed that closure.I had never felt this twist in the pit of my stomach as I sat on the visiting lounge. Even if guards and a glass wall were separating us, I still felt unsafe.When he walked in, goosebumps erupted all over my skin.Our eyes met.He smiled.Hanslo Greer was still the man I once knew, although he looked different than the last time I saw him. I could feel the difference—I couldn’t find any intimidation, and he looked powerless and less arrogant in his prison uniform.I picked up the phone, but I didn’t say anything.“Sadie, what are you doing here? Does your husband know you’re here?” I wasn’t e
CENRIC “Oh, God.” She bit her lip as she tried not to scream. I told her to keep her voice down if she wanted to come. The house may be big but not soundproof. I was pushing her to her brink while my fingers were doing the job. I thrust in and out of her drenched pussy, and my tongue teased her hardening clit. I scissored my fingers into her, and she shook in pleasure. I groaned and sucked her clit, her hips shooting up. “So good,” she moaned. Her lids fluttered shut. I knew she was close. Her walls started clumping against my fingers. “Come for me, babe.” I withdrew out and then plunged in deeper and rocked her faster, hitting her g-spot. She threw her head back, her hips rocking forward before she stilled as she came so hard. She dropped her body down the bed, laying boneless with splayed limbs as her orgasm went on and on. I crawled over and covered her with my body before I took her mouth. She quickly kissed
SADIE “Which from the two?” Tanner showed us the kind of blue colors. “This one.” Cenric had already chosen my behalf, but Tanner was still waiting for my choice. “Yup. This one.” “Her eyes.” He nodded as if he was not convinced of Cenric’s choice. “Trust me, Tanner. I know my wife.” He was sitting on my desk with his arms crossed over his chest. “Ace,” he said before he left. “I’m starting to dislike that guy.” I closed the folder on my desk and eyed him. “He’s nice, and Maeve is reporting tomorrow. I sent her flowers. Anyway, do you know—” “She and Beck are dating?” “Wow! You’re updated than me.” “I pay attention to my guys.” “So, you’re not leaving this office until I agree to free my whole Saturday?” He’d been patient. Since our parking lot encounter, we had decided to stay under one roof. We slept in the same bed, but that was all. He didn’t initiate
CENRIC You’re the best. Fuck, yeah.I kept reminding myself. I went back home after work. I didn’t bother her anymore. The more I kept my distance, the easier it was for her to figure out what she wanted in her life. It was hard. I missed her every second she was away from me. But she needed it, and that was what she got. That was two days ago. No call. No text. I didn’t even ask Devin for updates. And here I was, stalking my wife. Beck just shook his head in disappointment. “You’re losing your shit. What is in the fucking of need space you did not understand? You will still see her on Saturday, won’t you?” “She needs space, but I don’t. I want to see her, not meet her. And can’t you be a little supportive of me?” “Supportive my ass. You did this to yourself. But whatever. If she sees us, you’re gonna have to explain. Then she needs another week or two. Your trouble, man. Not mine.”
