"I love you, Amelia. I really do."
Hearing his confession her breathing stopped and her heart fell in her stomach in disbelief and shock.
This can't be happening. She never thought this can ever happen. How. When. Why did he start loving her when all they wanted was to start a peaceful life with each other nothing else.
For Amelia love was never an option in their married life. She just wanted to trust him and to start a new life with him. But love. She never considers it necessary in their relationship. Till now.
Pulling himself away from her he made her sit upon the bed while he took a seat in front of her. She covered herself with a blanket still looking at him for an explanation.
His big palms landed on her flush cheeks as he caressed her face pulling it closer to his.
"Don't feel guilty for something that's not your fault darling. I love you. And it's fine if you don't. I don't want any change in our relationship. I just want you to remember that my feelings will never be forced on you."
He said in a calm tone making her look up at him straight in his beautiful ocean eyes. He smiled at her before placing a soft kiss on her forehead.
"To tell you the truth I never expected to be in love with anyone after Mia but I don't even know when I started feeling things for you. And that be stronger than what I had for Mia."
Amelia's eyes started watering hearing his confession. So beautiful yet so painful. She felt the pain in his voice when he mentioned Mia. And this scared her.
Mia never loved him even after all his efforts to gain her heart. And what if she would end up in the same pit. Amelia knew that somewhere in her heart she had lost the love she had for Liam once.
She loved Liam more than anything but now she knew she loved him not loves him. But is it enough to say that she has started feeling something for Xander? No, it isn't.
Falling out of love and started loving someone at the same time is different. She indeed had stopped loving Liam but she can't just say that she loves Xander.
Wish it was so easy but it isn't. It never was and never will. At least for her. She's scared to love again. She's scared that what if again She got worst pain than before and she knew if that happened again She wouldn't be able to hold back and pretend to be strong.
Xander noticed her teary eyes and obvious guilt in her eyes. He felt so stupid. Why would he even confess when he knew that she doesn't love him.
He sighed heavily before gently wrapping his arm around her shoulder and pulling her against his bare chest. She sniffled a little feeling her tears streaming down.
"Shh love. Stop crying. I told you it's not your fault. It's fine. It's really fine that you don't love me. Don't force yourself." She shook her head before pulling away from him.
"But you deserve to be loved, Xander. You deserve better than someone whose so scared of love." Xander chuckled kissing her wet cheeks.
He gently pulled her down on the bed before wrapping the blanket on their bodies. Amelia wanted to protest at his carefree attitude but he forced her body to stay laid on the bed beside him.
"Listen my love. I can understand why you're afraid of losing someone again. And there is no need for you to feel bad that you don't feel anything for me. Love is a feeling that comes on its own. You have no control over it so it will be better you stop blaming yourself and just let me love you."
"But--"
"It's ok Amelia. All I want is your presence beside me. Nothing else. And I am more than happy that you're here with me. For eternity." He whispered kissing her forehead for the last time.
She snuggled in his chest feeling a small smile appearing on her lips. How can he say those words without asking anything in return? How can he love her without any greed? How.
Xander smiled feeling her pushing her body against his completely. He sighed in relief that his confession didn't drive her away from him. Instead, she seemed to find warmth in his embrace.
He knew somewhere in his heart he has a desire to be loved by her. But it's fine. It's fine if she can't. Her presence and care are enough for him to think that him having feelings for her was worth it.
They both slept the whole day and even in the evening when they woke up Xander didn't let her off the bed instead took her again.
He wasn't able to stop himself whenever he opens his eyes and found her already in his arms wide awake all he could think was how beautiful she will look under him.
All-day they both didn't leave the bed. They were under the blanket naked as all they could do was to ravish each other again and again.
MATURE CONTENT AHEAD
"Fuck why are you still so tight. Shit." Xander rasped out slamming himself in her with a fast pace while Amelia was clutching the bedsheets moaned out loudly.
His lips landed on hers making her moan out as his pace increased and within a second they both reached their climax. Xander's tired yet sweaty body fell on hers.
Amelia's back arched at the sudden sensation as she released herself. She had lost count of how many times she has released herself and how many times they both let their desires lead them.
All they had was only lunch and the rest of the day all they did is to ravish each other not leaving the bed for even a minute. It was almost dinner time and they both were exhausted at the times they had ravaged each other.
Plopping beside her Xander breathed heavily same goes for Amelia. She finally decided to take a shower. Well, it's not like she hadn't taken one. She had a shower more than three times but every time Xander and she would end up on the bed.
Xander once again dug his head in her crook making her moan out once again. They both felt their desires rising again but this time Amelia decided the opposite.
Xander's eyes widened in surprise when she straddled him. Their bare lower bodied met as she leaned down roughly slamming her lips against his. Xander wrapped one arm around her waist and kissed her back with the same roughness.
"Ah, Amelia." He groaned out when he felt her holding his manhood in her hand and letting herself dominant him. He threw his head back while Amelia moaned out loudly as well.
She started moving at a slow pace which made Xander impatient. He tried moving his hips but she didn't let him. He wanted to growl at her to move faster but instead moaned out feeling her increasing her pace.
Her lips kissed his chest collarbone neck leaving her saliva behind. Xander never felt this kind of pleasure before. She was dominating him but his body loved it so much.
She forced his arms away from her waist and roughly started moving her hips making him groan loudly. Her pace soon started becoming harsh and not able to control Xander grabbed her waist changing their positions.
He once again ramped her hard reaching their climax. They both breathed heavily while Xander this time only stared at her with loving eyes.
"That was amazing my love." He whispered kissing her swollen lips. She smiled wrapping her arms around him.
"I think we should stop now. I am too sore. I can't handle this anymore." Xander chuckled nodding his head.
They both decided to skip dinner and sleep. As they both had no energy to get up from the bed.
Days passed by and their relationship became stronger. Amelia started feeling more love in Xander's actions. She never felt this kind of affection before from anyone.
But in all of these, she forgot about one thing that she shouldn't have.
Walking out of her company she frowned watching her ex-husband taking fast yet angry steps towards her. She was beyond shook at why he looked so much angry.
"Liam. What are you---"
"Come with me. Right now." She looked at him in shock hearing his hard tone. She shook her head in denial but instead, Liam grabbed her wrist pulling her towards his car.
"What is your problem Liam leave me. I swear I will start screaming." Liam didn't reply to her instead forced her inside the car.
She tried screaming and jumping off the car but he was fast enough to start a car before she could do so.
"What the hell is wrong with you Liam. This is kidnapping. Stop the car. Xander will kill you, Liam. Stop the car. I said --"
"SHUT UP." He growled at her making her flinch at his sudden roar.
She tried opening the door of her side but it was child locked. Soon they reached Liam's mansion.
"Why are we here. Leave me. I am not going anywhere with you. Why are you behaving like a psycho." She protested but in vain. He successfully pulled her into the mansion to his room.
Leaving her in the room and locking the door he went inside the wardrobe only to come back with a file in his hand.
A blue file. Amelia's eyes widened when she realized what that file was about. Now she knew why he was so angry at her.
"Care to explain. What the fuck is this." He seethed through his bloodshot eyes.
His jaw was clenched and the pain was swirling in his eyes. He was begging for answers from her and Amelia knew that she can't hide this anymore.
"Why did you hide this from me, Amelia. Why."
He said raising his voice. He slammed the file on the floor before walking towards her frozen figure.
"Why didn't you tell me that you were pregnant Amelia."
