Sofie's POV I sighed as I rubbed my clammy hands on the apron that was firmly looped around my waist.The day had gone quite tiring for me.I wanted to do nothing more than go home, flop myself on my bed and sleep till the next day, even though I knew that was impossible.I was about to sit down on a stool behind the counter to rest my aching legs briefly, when I felt a shadow loom over me.Regardless, I sat down but I scoffed inwardly on seeing who it was."Take that order to table fifteen and be fast with it. Stop being a sloth," Daphne Humphreys, a co-worker who was also the restaurant owner's girlfriend spat condescendingly at me."I have been working since the day began, Daphne. How exactly am I a sloth? And if you cared to know about the affairs of the restaurant, you would know that we are on a break at the moment." I responded coolly, but with a warning note to my voice.I was exhausted, and I didn't want to take my anger out on anyone.Especially not on Daphne who could easi
Roman's POV I reclined against the swivel chair with an exasperated sigh as I flapped my eyes closed.It was not easy being the president of GV group of companies.At the rate I was going, I knew I was likely to end up with a face full of wrinkles and stress lines before I clocked thirty.I groaned inwardly when I heard a knock on the door but nevertheless, I said, "Come in."My secretary/assistant, Nathan Gonzalez walked in with an iPad clutched to his chest, he bowed slightly before saying, "You sent for me, sir."I frowned as I rubbed at my temple, "I did?""Yes, sir."Great. So, I was now going through memory loss too.Could life get any better?Don't misquote me, I really loved my job but sometimes, the pressure got too heavy on me that I ended up missing out on other stuff that I should be doing at my age.My last relationship had even ended because of my hectic schedule but strangely after it ended, I felt immense relief instead of despair.I shrugged the thought off as I sat
Sofie's POV "Thanks." I muttered to the waitress as she placed the glass of margarita on the bar island.It was my fourth drink that night, and although I was starting to get drunk, and everyone and everything I saw seemed to be in doubles, I didn't stop.I wanted to drink my frustration and sadness away, even if that meant drinking myself to a stupor and waking up with a terrific hangover tomorrow.My fuzzy vision trailed to a man who had Alexander's burly physique, and had his hand looped around a pretty lady's waist. Instantly, I shuddered as the thoughts of the older man bristled in my head.I had no idea what I was going to do.I was sure rejecting Alexander's proposal had definitely gotten me in more trouble with my parents.I knew my parents won't stop until they frustrate me to the point where I would have no option but to accept the old man's proposal.I couldn't allow that to happen.But, I would also have no place to stay when my parents chased me out of their place.My be
Roman's POV To say I was shocked out of my mind by the fact that this small, random, drunk, and very pretty lady who I had just met barely an hour ago had her lips sealed to mine was an understatement.I was flabbergasted to the point that I remained frozen for some moments before realization dawned on me.Even after I came to my senses, I didn't push her off because I kind of enjoyed it even though the kiss was a bit sloppy.I was about to pull her onto my thighs, and make her straddle me when she pulled away from the kiss."Your lips are so soft and I feel like kissing you again," She whispered, "It's fine if you don't want me. But, don't think of me as a pervert, I'm just be-" The rest of her statement was cut short as I captured her lips with mine, and plopped her down on my lap.She gasped, stunned and I took that chance to slip my tongue in between her plump, rosy lips.She tasted like coffee and alcohol. The taste was unique and at the same time, it was also like a breath of f
Sofie's POVI whimpered as Roman hoisted me against the glass walls of the room, and instinctively hooked my legs around his lithe waist, causing my pussy to grind on his hard cock.The thought that his body had reacted to me caused my head to swell with a mixture of pride and lust.I moaned when Roman's strong hands grabbed, and squeezed my ass cheeks.Impatiently, I grinded on him harder, prompting him to squeeze my cheeks harsher.I couldn't wait for Roman to fill me up.Littering kisses down my chest, Roman grabbed me by my ass from the wall, and without breaking the kiss, he placed me on the bed and situated himself in between my legs and the reality of what was about to happen dawned on me.Roman was about to take my virginity.For the first time since I met Roman that night, I started to feel nervous and unsure of myself.What if Roman didn't want inexperienced women in his bed? What if he didn't like having sex with virgins?What would I do then?I couldn't bear the thought of
Roman's POVI was roused up by the tantalizing sensation of something wet wrapped around my stiff cock, and also bobbing up and down on it.I initially thought I had gone back to my early teenage years, and I was just having a wet dream before I heard hushed whimpering.I didn't expect the sight that greeted my eyes when I slanted my eyes open.Lo and behold, Sofie was situated in between my legs, and her small hands were fondling with my balls as she sucked me off.It felt like I was in an erotic fever dream.My breath hitched in my throat as I propped myself up on my elbows, and gazed down at her."W-what are you doing?" I choked out, precum trickling down my cock.Sofie didn't reply to me, and just darted a mischievous smile which was laced with arousal at me.I could feel the crest of my pleasure gradually building up inside me as Sofie increased her speed, her lust-filled stare still not breaking away from my face.I sucked in the cold air as my cock slipped out of her mouth with
Sofie's POVI woke up with a throbbing headache that made the blood vessels at either side of my head bang like they were about to tear out of my skin.The sun rays seeping through the window blinds also didn't help matters at all, and it combined to give me an even worse headache.Groaning, I squeezed my eyes shut and gently massaged my temples to placate my tensed nerves.When I fluttered my eyes open again, I realized I wasn't in my bedroom, and I jumped up with a start.The sight that met my eyes made me scream and I almost tumbled down from the bed.A dangerously handsome man dressed in an expensive grey three-piece suit was sitting cross-legged on a chair next to the window with his arms folded crossed around his chest.Frightened, I glanced down at myself, and realized I was naked beneath the blanket covering me.I screamed again,"What happened?"He didn't seem fazed by my scream. Instead, he looked bored."You've finally woken up. I was starting to think something else might h
Roman's POV"Perfect. I knew you wouldn't disappoint me, doll." I smirked, feeling excitement sizzling inside me before a great wave of relief cascaded through me.At last, it was settled.I just had to brief her on how, and how not to act with Nana to arouse her suspicions.Sofie flushed, steering her gaze away from me, and fiddling with her fingers.For some unknown reason, seeing her act all adorable and nervous always made me feel all funny and soft inside, which was strange.But, it wasn't as if I liked her or anything though. Her tucking her auburn hair behind her ear did absolutely nothing to me. Her big, doe, brown eyes didn't make me feel like protecting her and her perfect oval face coupled with her plump, rosy lips didn't make me feel like having her to just myself.Exactly, they didn't. I was only confusing lust with love.Right. That was it. But then again, why did I still feel that warmness in my chest whenever her coffee eyes stared up at me?My feelings toward her sh
Roman's POV "Happy birthday, Nonna." I beamed up at my grandmother, as I watched her waddle downstairs with the aid of her walking stick. Today was her ninetieth birthday, and it also coincided with the wedding anniversary of my late parents. We had decided to celebrate in a big way to mark the successful completion of Nana's chemotherapy treatment after three whole years, and also the miraculous stoppage of the cancer metastasis. If someone had told twenty five year old me that I'd eventually learn to stop avoiding any event related to my parents, I'd have scoffed at them. I had also gotten the courage to visit my parents' graves a week ago, for the first time since I became an adult. The last time I visited them was more than a decade ago; on the day before I was to travel to boarding school in London. Back then, Nana had told me that I needed their blessing before taking any big step in life. But somehow, I had managed to put off visiting them before Sofie and I got married
Sofie's POVMy erect nipples were instantly in his face, begging for his touch, and sensual ministrations.He scooped up my boobs with a powerful hand, fondled them like stress balls, before capturing a nipple in his mouth while swiftly sliding the lingerie down my feet.Withdrawing from the kiss, he littered kisses down my stomach, along my stretch marks, and the thin, jagged surgical scar at the center specifically."Thank you." He whispered, gazing up at me.Forking my hands through his tendrils of dark hair, I beamed at him. "You're welcome."Then, he reached downward to my throbbing garden of horniness, and placed a thumb against my quivering entrance which yearned for nothing more than his cock."You're so beautiful everywhere." He whispered again before pressing a kiss to my core.Slowly and meticulously, he pried my folds apart, lapped at them like an ice cream cone before sliding his tongue inside me.Roman knew every part of me like the back of his palm; he knew my core, he
Sofie's POVI took a deep breath as I stared at my reflection in the mirror."What is going on in there, Sofie? Do you need my help?" Roman's voice wafted in from the other room.After inhaling shakily for the umpteenth time, I answered, "N-No. I'm fine. I'll be out in a few.""Alright.""Yes." I whispered to myself, as I ran my hands over my body.Over the black one-piece lingerie I had on to be exact.I had no idea what sort of spirit had possessed me to bring the wanton piece of clothing on our honeymoon.We were currently honeymooning at a private resort on a secluded island in Santorini. Regret and uncertainty filled me as I glanced at the stretch marks at the sides of my stomach.I looked so ugly and fat in the lingerie.Although I had worked hard, and literally spent up to six months in the gym after I gave birth, my body had still not gone back to what it used to look like prior to me getting pregnantAnd that made it hard for me to feel comfortable naked, whenever Roman and
Roman's POV"They are here." Damien whispered into my ear, and I instantly whipped my head around so fast, I almost dislocated my neck.We were both standing at the altar, waiting for my beautiful bride to arrive."It's happening." I said, and he squeezed my shoulder in reassurance."And it will be fine. Everything will go well." He said, his voice tinged with conviction."I hope so." "Let me go get her. I'll be right back with your wife in a few." He winked, and clapped my shoulder before trekking out of the garden.My eyes met with Nana's elated ones, and she darted me a smile as she gently stroked her chest, as if to calm my livid nerves."You'll be fine, figlio." She mouthed, and I nodded, mirroring her smile.My heart hammered against my chest in a mix of nervousness, and excitement as the bridal entrance song played, and the onlookers stood up to watch Sofie enter the venue.Ethan was the first to waddle in which drew out loud cheers and laughters from the guests, as they all a
Sofie's POV "Are you done?" I asked the make-up artist as she began to put the beauty supplies away."Yes, Ma'am." She nodded, to which I sighed in relief before staring at my reflection in the vanity mirror.The realization that today was the day Roman and I would legally become one forever, felt real at that moment, and it caused tears to pool in my eyes.I sighed, and managed to blink my tears away before it smeared the make-up artist's hard work.I had no idea why I was crying on such a beautiful day."Oh, babe." Amy's voice wafted into my ears before I felt her hands on my shoulder. "Tears of joy, huh?"She was my matron of honor, just like how I had been her maid of honor at her own wedding.Amy had gotten married to Damien three months ago, after they had both dated for a year, in an intimate ceremony which had just their family, and close friends in attendance.Sniffling, I managed to nod in affirmation.Amy just smiled at me through the mirror. "I can understand because I fe
Roman’s POV Anxiety coursed through my bloodstream, as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. It was finally our wedding day. I was supposed to be the calm, and laid-back person between the both of us, but the panic clogging my throat begged to differ. My bowtie suddenly felt too tight for my liking while my hands felt cold yet clammy at the same time. Heaving a deep sigh to calm my tense nerves, I glanced down at the time, before sipping cold air through my teeth. We were currently in one of my bequeathed mansions in California. The wedding was going to take place at a garden nearby, which was dedicated to my parents' memory. It had also been a day since I last saw Sofie, and three hours since I last saw Ethan. Nana had mentioned something about it being bad luck if I saw my fiancée on the night before our wedding. Of course, I didn't believe in superstitions like that but I knew better than to argue with her. "You can do this, Roman. There's no need to fret over your we
Sofie’s POV A YEAR LATER"What do you think of this place?" Roman asked, as we strolled into a building inside The Eiffel tower.Yeah, you read it right.We were at the le jules verne restaurant, which was situated in the super-imposing, historical structure.I had graduated from college a week ago, and Roman had brought me to Paris for a vacation.It was the first time since I gave birth that I was away from Marcus, and I badly missed my son.I knew he would definitely be well looked after by his great-grandmother, and her staff, but a feeling akin to guilt still tugged at my heart.Earlier that day, Roman had even facetimed his grandmother at my request, so I could see him, but it still didn't feel enough in the slightest.I guessed that was what motherhood did to someone.You are never really at peace, if your child isn't with you."Cara mia, are you okay?" Roman asked, pulling out a chair from beneath the table.I faked a smile, "I'm alright, babe. Why do you ask?""You've been s
Roman’s POV "Tell Damon Alvarez to get the required documents ready before our next meeting." I said into my phone, as I paced my study."Alright, sir. I will convey your message to his secretary immediately. Have a nice day, sir." Nathan replied, from the other end.Afterward, I ended the call.A knock came on the door, just as I was to continue reviewing the pile of documents on my desk.One of my staff walked in, and bowed. "Lunch is ready, sir. Would you like me to bring your meal here?"I shook my head in negation, as I set the documents aside, and made for the door."Where is Sofie?" I asked, as I made my way to the dining room."Ma'am Sofie is waiting downstairs, sir."I just hummed in response, as I ambled down the flight of stairs.My lips automatically gave way for a wide grin, on seeing Sofie.She was already sat at this dining table, and was leisurely refolding the napkins."Have you been waiting too long, cara mia?" I asked, pressing a kiss to her forehead, before crouch
Sofie’s POV "Are you sure you have everything with you? Have you checked your bag properly? We don't want you forgetting anything important." Roman said, as we walked to the garage. I huffed, as I zipped my bag close. "Yes, Roman. I have. This is the fifth time I'm rechecking my bag now." Today was my appointment date, and initially, I had thought I was going to be the more nervous between the both of us. But Roman had proven me wrong with how paranoid, and jumpy he had been since the day began. It was the first time he was following me to an appointment, since he was discharged from the hospital, five weeks ago. Wrapping an arm around my waist, he gazed down at me, and said. "I guess I'm just being paranoid over this appointment. The last time I felt like this was when I had to take college entrance examination." My face dissolved in a soft smile, before I tiptoed to pull him into a warm hug. "You'll be fine," I muttered. "It's just an examination to ascertain our baby's
