ProserpinaThey say the morning after you spend your first night with your lover is a magical one. For me, it took three children and a whole lot of heartache to experience that feeling!!! It was obvious that Lucien did not want to leave to attend to his business that day. He had come back to my room after breakfast and we had spent the time in each other’s arms. There were so many things to say which lay unsaid between us. But healing would take time although I knew that the process had begun.I gave myself up to his lovemaking which was tempered with gentleness as he caressed my rounded belly and made me cry with the exquisite feelings of joy…***I had cooked up a storm that afternoon when Lucien turned up with Schwartz and Shark in tow. Lucien followed me to the bedroom, his hands roving over my body as we kissed hungrily. Ria and Piers seemed rather annoyed at lunch and I was genuinely puzzled.They had seemed fine as they went about their riotous games in the morning. Besides, t
ProserpinaWhen Grace brought me the lovely long dress that Danielle had got for me on Lucien's instructions, I sat staring at it in disbelief. Even after all these years, I was still awed when I saw a beautiful gown and this time was the same.Lucien's words had been clipped over the phone when he spoke to me. Schwartz's party was to be held at the club, not the log cabin near the lake he said and it was slated to begin a few days earlier. This evening, he said and slammed the phone before I could ask for details. I stared stupidly at my cell phone: Lucien had sounded irritated but I knew instinctively that it was something that was weighing on his mind, something that he could not handle which was getting to him. But when Grace laid the lovely gown before me, I was wonderstruck.Deep purple, it had a plunging V- V-neckline with a deep back that almost reached my waist. Clinging to my full breasts alluringly, it flared out in folds below the bodice and effectively hid my rounded bell
As for Lucien, he did not say a word but the hand that fastened itself around my upper arm, presumably to help me, was like a harsh vice, tight and painful. I dabbed at my mouth furtively but I felt his cold eyes follow my gesture.'What was that?' he snarled, his voice low and vibrating with a slow-burning rage. I turned to look up at him fearfully, wide-eyed. I had fashioned my long hair in a chignon, to make myself look older and more mature but at that moment, I felt like a guilty schoolgirl caught by the harshest teacher ever, preparing for the inevitable punishment.'I...I wanted to thank him...' I whispered, aware that the bodyguards were with us, a few feet away. And aware that they could hear us."Thank him?', Sneered Lucien, his hand tightening even more, 'What has he done for you, eh?' I felt a coldness inside me.How Lucien regarded me in suspicion troubled me. When would he realise that for me, there was no other man in my life but him? Not wanting to create a scene in pu
ProserpinaThe familiar perfume that Daniella wore wafted up and I turned in surprise and happiness. She stood a little away, puffing away on a cigar, glaring at someone in the distance, and behind her, I could see Grace approaching. While Grace was wearing an open expression of joy at seeing me, Daniella seemed to be on her tough woman behavior this evening. But I knew it was an act. I loved to spend time with the two of them and I knew that Danielle looked out for me. She was as fiercely protective in her way but she hid it behind a Devil may care attitude.Daniella came and stood beside me, wearing a crisp blue pantsuit, her ice-blonde hair in place in a close bob that framed her scalp. She looked tough and business-like, despite the red slash that was her mouth. She looked at me and her lips twisted sympathetically, ' Being pregnant is a bitch, right?'I grinned up at her easily. We had a close relationship now, the prickly, tough-as-nails Dani and I. Suddenly, I felt better, not
"Darlin' why did you choose that gown for the poor child?' Grace half scolded Daniella who was puffing away on a cigar again. 'She looks like she hates it!' Danielle shot a look at Lucien and said nothing. "Grace,’ I whispered softly, shifting uncomfortably in the soft armchair, ' I wanted to use the washroom...could you come with me?' Danielle frowned and looked at Lucien. "Boss, hey Boss!' she said raising her voice a little. When Lucien turned his cold look on her, she snapped, 'Proserpina here wants to pee.'Lucien's eyes bored into me, searching. I lowered my head like a truant kid but he stepped closer and asked, his rasping voice tinged with concern, as his eyes skimmed over me. “ Do you want to leave now, woman?’The hard features had softened and I felt a warm feeling spread over me. But I was exhausted and in no mood to be placated. My back hurt, my feet were killing me and all I wanted was to get back home and curl into bed and sleep. With my lover's big body shielding me.
LucienHe swore as the minutes ticked by and his wife did not appear. As his anxiety grew, Lucien tossed his head back and gulped down another drink. He wanted to be back in the confines of his home in the suburbs, with the woman he cared for in his arms. Raking his hands through his vibrant grey hair, he thought again about how important she had become to him.‘Damn,’, he thought, scowling, he was totally smitten by her. The way her brown eyes lit up when they saw him, the way she still blushed when he fu*ked her and said things to her that made her cry out in protest…The way her pus*y tightened around his shaft when he was hammering into her, her muscles squeezing him… But it was more than that, he acknowledged, he wanted to keep her happy, to see her smile. He could not imagine a life without her.*His shoulders tightened. Yes, he had behaved like a boor, forgetting the fact that she had needed to sit down, and had not had a fruit drink, the only damn thing she drank, anyway, he r
Proserpina I was aware of the commotion in the hall as we approached, the way the guards seemed to be on alert, hurrying us along. But the spectacle unfolding before us brought me up short. It made me stop breathing for a few minutes. Lucien was beating up a guest, brutally, viciously. I had never seen this side of my husband although I was aware of his violent nature.Now I watched, open-mouthed, one hand protectively laid on my stomach, the other on Grace’s arm for support. He was thrashing the man, mercilessly. As the man tried to get onto his knees, I saw his suit: Ramos? Lucien kicked him in the ribs and hit him, uncaring that he had the guests watching in undisguised glee, like vultures. I felt sick. Schwartz rushed forward, murmuring something about the Boss and his aggressiveness and making a scene for no reason like an uncivilized thug.But I could not pull my eyes away from Lucien. He looked massive and frightening and I began to tremble. He kicked the man at his feet last
Proserpina My action must have been totally unexpected. There was a moment's silence, and then with a roar, he reacted. Even before the stinging sensation in my palm had died down, he had jerked me to him, his mouth plundering mine, his tongue forcing itself into my mouth. He bit my lower lip and as I cried out, he plundered my mouth cruelly. All the while, his hands roughly pulled at the neck of my gown, his hands squeezing my soft breasts coarsely, painfully as his lower body pressed against me, the strong thick thighs making me aware of how hard he was. I could feel the urgency of his hard shaft, tenting his immaculate trousers and I sobbed, struggling, trying to turn my head away. He raised his head, breathing heavily, eyes dark with desire and a softness I had not seen before. I pushed at his chest and managed to place a few inches between us as I whispered, "I did not choose to wear this gown. You got Daniela to buy it. Why are you punishing ME? " And taking a deep breath
