All Chapters of Grooming Our Love: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

MICHAELI watched as she walked around, exploring the house I owned in Hampton.The balcony offered a view of the beach, and the constant salty air added to the ambiance.Natasha. I'm starting to fucking enjoy how her name rolls off my tongue.She stood on the balcony, her porcelain skin seeming to glow as the orange light from the setting sun illuminated her. Her silky blonde hair danced in the wind, along with her flowy dress that fluttered softly."You had me fooled," she said when I joined her by the banister. "I should've known. You rent a room at a resort worth more than a year of my salary at the diner, and now I find out that you own a multi-million dollar beach house here in Hampton."Her gaze was fixed on the scenery, but for me, the most interesting sight was her face.Damn, she's a beautiful woman."You're beautiful," I said, voicing what my mind had been telling me about her.She seemed to forget how to speak and chose to look away from me."Look at me, Natasha." I gently

MICHAELListening to her loud thoughts grates on my nerves. I know she's uncertain about me, but all I want is to hear her promise that she'll stay with me, that she won't run away again.Is it really that difficult for her? She doesn't have to promise anything, because I know, whether she stays or leaves, I'll bring her back until she finally decides to trust me.But how can I convince her quickly? After all, I'm known as one of the most notorious playboys in the world."You do realize you've given me hickeys, and now you expect me to wear this?" She holds up the dress I personally selected for her.A sleeveless red dress that will undoubtedly fit her like a glove. I intentionally left those marks, each one bearing my name.Her innocent forest-green eyes locked with mine, disbelief flickered within them, stoking a fiery desire that compelled me to taste her lips again and spend the rest of the night tucked away in bed.Damn, I'm fucking addicted."Just marking my territory," I say, w

MICHAELShe cared for me as one would a child - sweetly, yet with a touch of sternness. I found myself drawn to this dynamic."Does it hurt?" She inquired, her fingers gently tracing the bruise that had blossomed on the side of my lips.Her hand floated up to cradle my face.A wave of drowsiness washed over me as her palm made contact with my skin. Dam this woman, she had a way of making me feel like a pussy, but I like the way she makes me soft. She was slowly becoming my weakness, and I am fully aware of it.I reveled in the attention she showered on me, it was a craving I didn't know I had. The care she extended when I was hurt, the worry etched on her face - it all signaled that she truly cared for me."We should probably get that checked," she suggested, her gaze fixated on my lip.My father still got the strength, but I felt the blows he landed on me last night were more forceful than usual.I had the courage to stand up to my father last night, the pain was a distant sensation

MICHAELI don't know what's going on inside her head, but one thing is for sure: she's confused."What changed?" she asked.After sharing our breakfast in silence, I took us to the top deck where we could see the entire sea.We're in the middle of nowhere, and there's no one around to judge us or set us apart. It's just me, Natasha, and the sea.I wrapped my arms around her as she stood by the railings. "I was kind of mad, but I know I can't keep feeling like that for you," I admitted.My hand played with the ribbon of her dress that sat in the middle of her belly, the most precious part of her body.I pushed her hair to the side and occasionally dropped kisses on her bare neck.Natasha gasped for breath when I licked her skin. I'm igniting the fire deep inside her, wanting to start another wildfire.I don't care if she doesn't want to start a family yet, but what I want is for us to make this day a blessed one.The solemn waves of the ocean serve as our lullaby, and it will be perfec

THALIA"Maybe we can find a peaceful resolution, Fred. I could talk to my son and try to convince him."As a woman, I need to stay calm. As a wife, it's my duty to support my husband and lend a hand when he needs it. And as a mother, I must protect my son."You did it your way, and it didn't work." Frederick stood up, pouring himself a full glass of liquor. "Your son violated my daughter. He stained her, he took her dignity!"I looked at Elena, she didn't seem guilty, but I did. All I see in Elena's eyes is her desire for my son.This is all my fault!I shouldn't have encouraged her pursuit of my son. I love my son, and that's why I thought it was a good idea, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."Rushing into things won't solve anything, Fred," my husband said, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Give us more time.""Time? We've waited long enough, Martin. You owe me billions, and your son will pay for it or I'll take over this company and you'll have no say once we vote you o
