Chapter 64

Tessy's POV

I exited to my room locking the door behind me with a smile on my lips. My night with Anthony was awesome, I just can't get it away from my thinking.

The way he handled me in bed and everything, gosh I wish this was his home, I would have loved to remain with him all night but I can't take such a risk and let someone see me with him.

I rested on my bed with excitement on my face and finally, I was able to sleep, no nightmare, my dream was occupied with Anthony not until Eddy woke me up in the morning with a kiss on my lips. He ruined my everything and I feel like hitting him right now.

"Good morning dear, I brought breakfast in bed for you." He added, why is he so nice to me now?

"Thank you so much, you shouldn't have bothered yourself you know."

"Nonsense, be used to this because when we finally get married, I will spoil you." that is the last word I want to hear from him now, I prefer it comes from Anthony's mouth alone.

"Yeah, I will get used to it." I lied trying to play along.

"So are you having the morning shift today?" I asked and I nodded saying, "It's the afternoon shift I will be having for today."

"Perfect, so can we go to the gym together?' He asked and I just don't know how to say no to him, I could have lied that I was on shift, damn this.

"Sure let's do that." I forced a smile on my lips and he tried to kiss me again, but I adjusted my face then he said, "Don't forget to wear your ring, I don't want other guys to feel you are still single."

"Sure." I'm glad I brought the ring along, I knew something like this was bound to take place anyway.

"Alright, I will be waiting for you." He said taking his leave and I rested back on the bed, it's just the gym and nothing more, I would be back home in no time so I could be with Anthony, I couldn't believe I was missing him already.

I drank from the tea and took two slices of bread, before getting ready to hit the gym with him. I stepped out of my room and noticed the maids coming out from Anthony's room, does it mean he is not in?

"Where is Eddy's uncle?"

"Oh he left with sister."

"I see." I felt a sign of relief because I knew he would be back home soon.

I joined Eddy downstairs, trying to shake off the lingering thoughts of Anthony. We drove to the gym in comfortable silence, Eddy's enthusiasm a stark contrast to my inner turmoil.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by the energetic gym instructor, who led us through a rigorous workout routine. Eddy was his usual encouraging self, spotting me during weightlifting and offering words of motivation.

As we moved to the cardio section, Eddy jogged alongside me on the treadmill, chatting about his day ahead. I nodded and smiled, pretending interested.

After an hour of exercise, we headed to the gym's juice bar. Eddy ordered smoothies, and we sat down at a cozy corner table.

As we sipped our drinks, Eddy's gaze turned serious. "Tessy, I've been thinking... we should start making wedding plans."

"But I thought it was after my IT we agreed to fix a date?" I reminded him.

"Yeah, I know but it's not bad to plan." He looked at me with all seriousness.

"Yeah, sure," I managed, forcing a smile.

Eddy beamed, oblivious to my unease. "I have talked to Mom about it and she loves it, so have you spoken to your mom yet? ."

I nodded, feeling trapped.

"I will do that."

Just then, Eddy's phone buzzed. "Excuse me, I need to take this."

As he stepped away, I couldn't help but think of Anthony. Where was he? When would I see him again?

Eddy returned, ending the call. "Ready to head back home?"

I nodded, relieved. Home meant Anthony.

On the drive back, Eddy chatted about his phone call, but my mind wandered. Would Anthony be waiting for me?

"So love, what do you plan on getting my mother on her birthday anyway?" He asked and that reminded me, oh no, I don't even have a plan yet, Anthony has taken over my head.

"Thank you for reminding me, I was about to ask you what your mother fancys the most?" I tried playing along so he doesn't know I forgot about preparing one for her.

"Well she loves luxury things a lot but you can get her anything you feel you can get and I am certain she will appreciate it because she loves you a lot."

"Sure I will keep that in mind," I said to him and he let out a smile.

"I love you, Tessy, promise me you will never push me off my limits to bring out my other self."

"What do you mean other self?"

"You won't want to know of it, I assure you, so just remain the innocent Tessy okay!" He smiled at me and I nodded my head, what did he even me by that? This is strange!! Does he have a deep secret? I hope he is not the viper everyone is talking about. Nah that can't be possible cause the history of Viper is long ago, I wasn't even born when they started and I am certain he wasn't even in existence too, I wish I knew what his other self was capable of doing anyway.

As we pulled into the estate, I spotted Anthony's car. My heart skipped a beat. He is back and I am so excited to see him already.

As I walked towards my room, lost in thought, a sudden grasp pulled me into Anthony's room. The door locked behind me, and I was trapped.

Anthony's eyes blazed with desire, his face inches from mine. "I've been waiting," he whispered, his voice husky.

"Same here big daddy."

His lips crashed onto mine, devouring me with a fierce passion. I melted into his embrace, my resistance crumbling.

Anthony's hands roamed my body, rekindling the flames of last night's encounter. I felt alive, electrified by his touch.

"I want more Daddy, don't stop please," I said with a low sexy tone immediately I placed my mouth close to his ears.

"You won't be leaving here the same, you started everything." He added.

As our kiss deepened, the world outside receded. Eddy, the engagement, everything faded into insignificance.

Anthony's grip tightened, pulling me closer. "I can't get enough of you," he growled and slid his fingers doing some magical stuff to me down there, it felt like paradise but I made sure I closed my mouth not to let a loud moan escape my lips. I was sweating and he still desired me.

I surrendered, swept away by the torrent of emotions.

Just as our passion reached a boiling point, a faint knock on the door shattered the spell.

Anthony's eyes locked onto mine, a silent warning. "Don't make a sound."

I nodded, my heart racing.

The knock grew louder, more insistent. Who could that be?

TBC.
