Mirabelle's POV.
After Mitchelle and Ken left the party, the celebration carried on smoothly.
Although some of the paparazzi still came up to me for some questions, thankfully, the guards and Noah handled them carefully.
Noah gave some answers to their questions while leaving some unanswered for sensitive reasons.
We left the event hall after everything was said and done because it was a rented property.
I was the one who brought up the idea of renting an event hall cause I did not want to disclose the location of my home to the Media or anyone else.
I've always wanted a peaceful home, and that's what I am working towards.
Once we arrived home, Noah helped me prepare dinner while I gave my babies a bath cause I'm sure they'd be worn out by now.
After they were done bathing and eating, I put them to bed in their bedroom.
I told the boys stories about Peter Pan and then told Mika a Rapunzel story, but they refused to go to sleep, asking me tons of questions about Ken and Mitchelle, curious to know who they were and why Ken looked so much like Noah.
I tried to get their mind off it by giving them excuses which I was sure they didn't buy. Well, maybe Tyler might have believed my words cause he always does, but Mike and Skyler are the brains! They didn't buy it. Lol.
Once they were finally asleep, I gently lifted the blanket to cover up their bodies up to their chest and then reduced the Air conditioner before I turned off the lights softly.
I tiptoed while I left the room, shutting the door behind me gently to avoid waking them up.
I tiptoed to my bedroom, pushing it open lightly to avoid the sound getting into the kid's room next door; plus, the mansion was very quiet.
Stepping into the room, I turned to the door and closed it before heaving a deep sigh of relief.
"They are finally asleep, Noa_" I suddenly felt a cool fan on my skin as Noah snuggled into the crook of my neck from behind while wrapping his muscular arm around my slender waist.
A sharp moan escaped my lips as it curved into a smile. "What are you up to?"
"What else? I've been a good boy for long enough now, babe, so why not give me a lovely present? Let's continue from where we stopped at the party?" He asked, and my heart skipped a beat as my breath seized.
The aim of kissing him at the party was to just spice things up, to get Ken jealous and not to go too deep into it yet.
"What?" I let out a laugh, which came out nervously. "Haha, you didn't take that seriously, did you?" I say, pulling away from his grasp but he twirled me around and pulled my waist back to him.
Now, I was facing him, my eyes wide open in shock as he stared deep into my eyes; arousal was visible in his sharp blue eyes, making me swallow hard.
I had sneaked out of the kid's room so I could have a shower and go to bed after the long day but I did not expect this to be waiting for me when I got into my bedroom.
Is this the punishment for starting what I can't finish?
"Noah, can we do this some other day? I'm tired now, hmm? And besides, I want to have a shower before going to bed. I'm all sweaty." I forced a smile as I peeled his hands off my waist and I watched his face flatten.
"Sure, babe. I'm so sorry," He said as he stepped away, and for some reason, I felt bad for him, especially when I felt his cock throbbing in my lower abdomen.
He climbed up the bed, laid on his favorite pillow, and grabbed another pillow close to his chest.
I felt a sharp pain shoot through my chest, fully aware that he was a man with sexual urges, but he still made sure to give me space whenever I asked for one.
In the last few years, we've barely had time for each other since we always went on business trips and deals we had to make with our business partners in different countries.
We were barely together on any business trips since I was running my separate companies while Noah had his business he had to look after.
We are in New York together, and it's normal for Noah to want to get close to me, but I'm feeling worn out for today. All I wanted to do was to go to bed and have a nice rest before tomorrow, which is Monday.
But was I being selfish by pushing him away?
Sigh...
"You smell nice though," I heard Noah's groggy voice say to me.
"What? But I'm all sweaty," I chuckled as I loosened my bathrobe and pulled off the Lacie nightgown, leaving the inner silky gown on me.
For a moment, I thought I saw his Adam apple gulped.
I felt my tummy bubble, knowing I still had such an effect on him.
Noah chuckled at me. "No, you are not. But have a quick shower and join me in bed, I'm cold right now." He snuggled the pillow closer to his chest as he shot a mischievous smile at me.
"Give me some minutes and I'll be there," I said with a wink as I went into the bathroom.
A few minutes later, I walked out of the bathroom, drying my silky dark hair with a small white towel...
Darting my gaze to the bed, I find Noah still wide awake.
"You're awake," I said to him, but more in a surprised tone.
"You expected me to fall asleep without you?" He grinned at me. "I couldn't sleep without you by my side, Mira. Since you got back from Europe with the kids in the last two days, you were not with me, remember?"
That's right, I was not home in the last two days. I stayed over in one of the new Hotels I built in New York cause I had to make sure everything was in place before it would be opened for customers to stay over.
While I was there, Noah, as the dutiful hubby that he is, was the one who took care of the kids without stress.
Our marriage might have been made on paper to get my revenge on those assholes, but in the last few years I spent with Noah, he always loved me in ways Ken never did.
He made me forget that I was ever broken; he taught me how to make my own decisions, how to love, and how to be cruel to those who feel they can play me and get away with it.
Noah made me who I am today.
A strong, decisive, gorgeous lady.
I suddenly felt like rewarding him for being a good hubby after all.
