She opened the first box and it revealed a beautiful teal mermaid dress. There were matching shoes and a necklace. She opened the second box and it had a shimmering silver dress with a plunging neckline and almost no back. She knew her butt cheeks will peek out from it. The third box was a large one.

She pushed his heavy arm and sat up half, only to remove his naked leg which was lying across hers.“Please Aslan, get off me.” She whimpered and he removed his leg. She ran to the bathroom and sighed in relief as soon as her bladder emptied. She washed her face, adjusted her nightdress and came back to room. He was looking at her with half-opened eyes. She knew he was finding it hard to sleep. Elena had hidden his medicines and had made him promise that he won’t take them. But he had a condition that she will allow him to sleep hugging her.

God only knows what Jo told her. He enjoyed the present moment as her body pressed into his. His heart beat accelerated but he didn’t want to act like a perv.Her innocent eyes told him that she never knew about the shooting attack at the wedding. Then she frowned and sat beside him. He felt empty and cold from the separation.“Did you go church for me?” Her gaze was directed at the floor when she asked and he saw the hint of redness on her cheeks. It made her even cuter.“No, I just went to check if God w
Author’s POVElena had just come out of shower and was wrapping the towel around her when she received a call from Joanna.“Hey…”“Hi Elena, I have told Aslan that you will be joining me for lunch. If he bothers you, let me know.”Elena bit her cheek. She knew another argument with him was coming, because he will never let her step out of the house so easily. She talked to Jo for a minute and then hung up.She stood there talking, and Aslan who had just come to the room after his workout, watched her. She was not even properly wrapped up and talking to his sister. Was it so important a call?“So, she is so eager to go and has already made up her mind?” he thought.“So, you are going?” His dark and sexy voice echoed into the room and Elena shuddered and the towel fell from her hands. His eyes changed their color and he gulped visibly.Aslan was dying to touch her. Looking at her in that moment was same as getting lost in a desert and coming across a fountain, one couldn’t touch.

Aslan was hurting inside for all these years, and Elena was only poking everything inside him again. Not that he didn't trust her that she woul fall in Aslan's father's trap, but the mere thought of her being in the same house as him was making skin prick.

Author's POVElena served Aslan food and sat back as her back had immense pain. Aslan had an important meeting today and that’s why Elena had brought him lunch in the office. They didn’t eat without each other. He stuffed the fork into the salad and forwarded it towards his wife’s mouth.“Umm, I don’t wanna eat.” She made a face while turning her face to the other side.“Eat or I will eat you up.” He warned her.“Let me focus on work, pervert.”He stood up from his sofa chair and took the laptop from her hands on which she was working keeping it on her huge belly. Aslan sat aside the laptop, and turned her towards him. It was impossible for her to close her legs now because she was so much pregnant.“What are you doing?” She faked annoyance as he started rubbing her feet.“These are swollen.”“Yeah, you knocked me up and I am swollen everywhere.” She rolled her eyes.“But I like your swollen tits.” His hand was moving towards her calf and she was relaxing under his expert hands. “Oh,

You still have the chance to run away.” Elle warned her.“I will run.” She spoke loudly and all girls looked at her. “But only into his arms.”Elena spoke and hid her face in her palms.

Author’s POVAslan's narrowed eyes showed confusion. Elena stood up from his lap, and took his hand only to drag him out. He followed her and when his eyes found Derek waiting patiently in the drawing room, his feet halted and Elena felt it.

Derek’s eyes shot up at them when he heard footsteps.Both the men could see that there was something changed in them.Aslan didn’t smirk at Derek, nor his friend glared at Aslan. Derek stood up.“I thought you should give him the good news.” Elena told Derek while Aslan’s eyes were juggling between both of them wondering what was going on.“I…” Derek started it, but he was feeling guilty. His friend had suffered so much because of him.

Derek stood there with his back to her, looking out towards the lawn.“You called for me?” She asked.He didn’t turn or say anything, but stood there.“Do you think I was at fault when I turned against Aslan?” She wasn’t ready for the question.“I…I think you did what brothers do.”“So I was innocent?”“You forgot you were also a friend.”“So, I was wrong?”“I don’t like puzzles.” She said matter of factly, because she had no idea where he was going with this.“My sister is my life, Elena. My father doesn’t even care. See my sister has woken up and he isn’t here. Am I wro

Aslan wanted a drink so badly, but he was well aware that Elle will kill him, if he even uttered the words.“What a brave man you are, risking your life for someone who doesn’t deserve you.” Elle huffed and sat down with her hands crossed across her breast.“Why don’t you go to your husband?” Aslan retorted.“Because that dick is shooting in the heat of Dubai and here I am, all alone.”“Oh, what if he is swimming in pussies in the heat. I have heard the women in UAE are just amazing.” Aslan teased her and laughed even when his chest was hurting.“You, I know you must have fucked those pussies, but don’t put ideas in my head.
