"How much longer do I have to keep this charade going?" I questioned, the weariness evident in my voice.
Lynda settled herself next to me, her gaze fixed on the ceiling. "You have to make him work for it," she replied calmly.
"I don't think I can maintain this facade any longer," I confessed, the weight of the situation pressing on me.
"Just a little while longer," Lynda reassured me, her words carrying a glimmer of hope.
Ever since the Bernadette incident, Lynda had taken it upon herself to lecture me for hours on end, outlining the dos and don'ts of my interactions with Artemy. Each day became a constant struggle to appear indifferent in his presence.
RebeccaI caught a glimpse of a mischievous smirk playing on his lips before he descended, capturing mine in a gentle embrace. My breath hitched in my throat as his soft touch brushed against me, and a sigh escaped me involuntarily.Artemy skillfully maneuvered his tongue against my lips, patiently coaxing me to open up. With unhurried determination, he exerted a gentle pressure, and I gasped, granting him access. Our tongues delicately intertwined, each caress a slow dance that seemed to savor every fleeting moment.This time, I reciprocated the kiss with newfound boldness, mustering all the courage within me. Kissing Artemy felt like a hunger I never knew existed, and I didn't think I could ever tire of it.His hand glided up my
Rebecca"Lynda burst into my room, her face contorted in a pout. 'They're leaving!' she exclaimed. “Milandro said they'll be gone for a few days.”I straightened up, my eyes widening with concern. “Even Artemy?” I asked.She nodded, her pout deepening. “Yeah.”A heavy silence settled between us. I had seen Artemy last night, but he hadn't uttered a word about this. Just the thought of being without him made my heart ache.It had been a magical week since our first kiss in the piano room. During the day, he would whisk me away to the creek, and at night, we would spend hours together. He showered me with affection, stealing kisses a
RebeccaThe warm rays of sunlight gently caressed my face, coaxing me awake. Reluctantly, I resisted the urge to open my eyes, finding solace in the cozy embrace of the heat beside me. I was so comfortable, so lethargic, that any movement seemed impossible.Absorbing the comforting warmth, I nestled deeper into its embrace, wrapping my arms around it. A sense of pure contentment washed over me, and I buried my face in the chest that lay next to mine, letting out a blissful sigh.Yet, amidst the tranquility, a strange realization began to dawn on me. Startled, my eyes snapped open, ridding them of their drowsiness. I found myself gazing at a broad, solid chest, causing panic to surge through my veins. With a racing heart, I swiftly lifted my gaze, releasing a small gasp.
RebeccaLynda and I were engrossed in a lively conversation when a sudden knock on the door startled us. We both turned our heads toward the sound, exchanging confused glances. "Come in," I called out, curious about the unexpected visitor.The door swung open, revealing Artemy standing in the doorway. My eyes widened in surprise, and I hastily sat up while Lynda attempted to appear occupied with her book."Do you want to go to the creek?" he asked, his gaze briefly shifting towards Lynda.My heart leaped with joy, and I nodded eagerly, a smile spreading across my face. "Yes.""I'll wait for you downstairs," he replied, stepping back and closing the door behind him.
Rebecca"I want to see where this journey takes us. I want to give it a try," Artemy murmured, pressing his forehead against mine while his fingers tangled in my hair.I closed my eyes momentarily, taking a deep breath before meeting his gaze again, staring deeply into his eyes. "I want to try too," I whispered.I knew I was playing with fire. Eventually, I would be consumed by the flames. But sometimes, when the fire rages within you, letting go becomes impossible. And I couldn't let go. I clung desperately, even though I knew we would both be scorched in the end.Artemy's eyes ignited with joy, as if I had granted him the one thing he longed for.I anticipate
RebeccaI stared at Artemy in complete shock, my lips parted in astonishment. My gaze moved from his and to the sofa chair where the jacket sat.“How?” Looking back at Artemy, he stared at me with knowing eyes.Realization sank in and my stomach dropped. I brought a hand up to my neck and rubbed it nervously. His eyes tracked my movement and then he cleared his throat.“You were the one who kept the jacket there?” I questioned, my voice barely audible. I had asked the question but the answer was already clearly written on his face. Artemy’s face softened at my question and he gave me a sharp nod.Shaking my
RebeccaA week laterIt had been three weeks since I cut myself and my last nightmare. I was supposed to remove my stitches a few days ago but Wyatt said it was better to keep them in for a little longer to make sure the cut was sealed properly.So much happened in those weeks.My relationship with Artemy was growing stronger each day. His patience and gentleness sang to my heart. He was considerate and never pushed for more.My feelings for him was indescribable, and Lynda was on cloud nine.I finally understood what she meant
RebeccaWhen I heard the shower turn off, I let out a sigh of relief and closed my book, turning toward the door as I waited for him to come out.It had been almost half an hour and he was still inside.He stopped in his tracks when he saw me on the couch. “You aren’t in bed yet,” he mumbled, drying his hair with the towel. “Are you not sleepy?”I shook my head and looked down at the book on my lap. “I wanted to finish the book before going to sleep. And I’m not that sleepy.”“Hmm.” Artemy threw the towel on the plush bench in front of the bed, before sitting down on the bed, facing m
REBECCAI writhed against his thighs, seeking relief, but he chuckled softly before withdrawing."Such explicit language, my kitten," he chided playfully, his gaze locked on me. "I wonder how best to tame it.""Artemy... I need you.""No, my kitten, the moment is mine now," he declared, a smug grin curving his lips as he gazed down at me.With deliberate purpose, Artemy stepped back, shedding his shirt in a haste that verged on impatience."Shed your dress," his command was clear.Obeying without
REBECCAWith a mere utterance, I tentatively slipped my hand between my thighs. Artemy's gaze flared, and I swallowed audibly. Wetting my lips, I applied a gentle pressure to my center.My back arched involuntarily, a moan escaping me as I began to stimulate my clit. Artemy adjusted his position, his gaze unwavering and intense.A surge of electric pleasure surged through me as I inserted a finger, my chest heaving with each breath as the pressure within me intensified.Thumb circling the sensitive nub, I introduced another finger, my hips responding with a forward thrust. I circled my clit with greater fervor, striving to push myself over the edge.
REBECCAMy pulse quickened as Artemy drew me onto his lap. I nibbled on my lower lip, sensing the warmth rising to my cheeks under his intense gaze. His eyes tracked my every move, their desire seemingly intensifying by the moment. He exuded an undeniable allure at that very instant.Out of my peripheral vision, I caught Lynda's beckoning gesture. "Looks like it's time for our inaugural dance," I murmured softly.Artemy cradled me against his chest, rising from his seat in one fluid motion. He carried me to the dance floor's center and gently placed me on my feet. I draped my arms around his neck, drawing myself closer to him.His hands found my hips as the music started, and we began our dance. T
REBECCARaising my eyes to meet his, my fingertips brushed over his chest, the cadence of his fervent heart beneath them. "This is my pledge to you, Artemy Loskutov. Your love is my anchor, my wellspring of strength. I promise to pour forth my affection from now until eternity's closure. I vow to nurture, to confide in your love, to be what you require, ensuring your emotions are perpetually considered. I pledge to express my love and reverence. I yearn to share my days alongside you. I, Rebecca Cavalieri, commit to embracing you as my husband, to love, honor, console, and cherish you from this day onward. We meld as one, an eternal unity."Savoring the anticipation, I formed my final words. "This vow emerges from the depths of my heart, a pledge to you.""May we
REBECCAMy heart quickened its tempo at the sight that unfolded before me. In that moment, nothing else registered; the entirety of my focus was consumed by the figure stationed at the far end of the aisle.Each step toward Artemy stole my breath away, the journey itself a blur as his gaze anchored me. His eyes, a striking bluish steel hue, bore into me with unwavering intensity, tracing my every movement, my every advance.His attire adhered to his usual black suit, save for the addition of a golden tie. His hair lay sleek against his head, a few days' worth of stubble lending him a rugged allure. I had insisted he forgo shaving, as it heightened his appeal.His eyes remained locked onto mine as
REBECCA"Alright, close your eyes, my dear," Camilla's voice was a gentle whisper, tinged with excitement. I could detect the joy in her tone, and it ignited a matching smile on my face. With a mixture of anticipation and unsteady legs, I complied, shutting my eyes."Are you all set?" Lynda's voice carried an air of eager anticipation."You guys didn't transform me into a clown, did you?" I quipped playfully.Their laughter resonated in the room, eliciting giggles from me. At last, I opened my eyes, blinking as the world before me came into focus. Then, a gasp escaped my lips, involuntary and genuine."You are an absolute vi
REBECCAThree weeks had passed since that pivotal moment. Artemy's arm drew me toward him, enveloping me until I was nestled against his warmth, almost melding into him. His strong arms encircled my waist, and I pressed myself against him, my head finding its place on his shoulder. As if seeking solace, one of my legs draped over his hips, and his grip on my thigh was both firm and possessive.In the cocoon of his embrace, I inhaled his scent, the rhythmic cadence of his heartbeat serenading me. His touch traced indistinct patterns across my back, each stroke a balm to my senses, lulling me into tranquility.Amid this intimate connection, his voice, a soft caress, brushed against my ear, breaking the spell of silence. "Where shall we journey for our honeymoon?" Hi
REBECCAI descended the stairs, greeted by the heartwarming scene of Lynda, Bernadette, and Camilla gathered in the living room. Bernadette's knees were engaged in a rhythmic bounce, Princess nestled on her lap, their interaction an attempt to amuse the small canine companion.As my gaze swept over the tableau, an involuntary smile etched its way across my face. The unexpected sight before me was a testament to the depth of these connections.Aunt Bernadette, the role seemed incongruous at first glance. The transformation was astonishing - Bernadette, once reserved and distant, had evolved into a devoted aunt. This facet of her, while not frequently displayed, radiated a clear and undeniable fondness for Cevia.
REBECCAI roused from slumber to find the expanse of the bed empty beside me, an unexpected void that jolted me into alertness. Swiftly, I elevated myself into a sitting position, my eyes grappling with the persistent morning radiance as I blinked away the remnants of sleep.Emerging from the covers, I navigated my way toward the crib stationed nearby, only to discover it vacant, devoid of the presence I anticipated. My recollection painted a picture of Artemy embarking on his early morning ritual to tend to Cevia. Had they not returned to the comfort of our shared sanctuary?While enveloping myself in a robe, I embarked on a trajectory towards the bathroom, swiftly tending to the ritual of dental hygiene and facial invigoration. With my hair haphazardly ensnared
