ARIANA
After dinner, Enzo carried me back to our bedroom in his arms. Marian was sleeping soundly in her crib. Enzo laid me down in the bed. My heartbeat spiked up when I watched him strip his clothes right before my eyes. He wasn't wearing anything but that apron. When he tore that thing off of his body, my throat went dry in an instant. He was hard. and I couldn't deny the fact that I wanted him so bad. But at the same time, I didn't want to let him have it just yet.
I watched him crawl into the bed. I watched his hard cock dangling as he crawled in. It was such a tease and only I knew how I was controlling myself. I was breathing heavily. He stopped right before me. He had this smirk on his face that made my pussy throb. I still remained stubborn. I had to pretend.
it was until he touched my hand. He slowly slid his hands up to my arms and I was whimpering. “I would like to take your clothes off too? Would that be okay with you?” I almost giggled when I heard him asking for my permission. It was so not him, asking my permission to strip me naked.
The incident reminded me of our first night after our wedding. He forced me to strip in front of him. Then he made me strip him down as well. It was a terrifying experience. especially when I had known him as my uncle and suddenly, that uncle was my husband. Somewhere in between all those thoughts, I was smiling and he caught me red-handed. or rather, with a smiling face. “What's so funny? Did I say something funny, babe?” He asked out of curiosity.
Shaking my head, I sat on his lap and hugged him. I didn't care about his hard cock that was poking my pussy at this point. “I just remembered how you made me strip you and myself the very first night after our wedding. I was so scared of you back then.” I whispered against his chest.
When I looked up, I found him staring at me. He gulped hard. I didn't think it could trigger anything for him. I whispered again when he cupped my face with both of his hands and pecked my lips. It was more of a gentle kiss on my lips that only lasted for the length of a few seconds.
When he pulled away, I had a small smile on my face that brightened up my insides for no reason. Or maybe, he was the reason. “I was a jerk to you back then and I bullied you a lot. I was supposed to be your piller. The support you needed. I was supposed to give you space and time. What I did to you, is unforgivable. And I never apologize to you, did I?” I gulped hard when I heard him.
He was dead serious about it. I decided not to interfere. Instead, I just shook my head at the question he had asked me. I drew a shaky breath when he pressed his lips against my forehead. This time, his lips lingered on my skin for more than a minute. It was a kind of magical feeling in my chest.
When he finally pulled away, I could swear I saw a tiny tear at the corner of his eye that retreated back into his socket as he saw me gazing into his eyes. “I apologize sincerely for that time. I should never have forced you to strip down like that. I should never have bullied you or hurt you in any way. But I did and I will never forget that until I am living and breathing.” It was one way to apologize to your spouse for all the bad things you did to her. Or a way to win over a heart again.
He didn't let me see his vulnerable side. He just hugged me tightly. I didn't mind the hug. I knew, he was still trying to protect his male pride. “It's alright. I forgave you a while ago. The moment I saw my daughter's face, I was the happiest. And in that moment, I forgave you.” The anger inside me was melting. I didn't hesitate to tell him the truth.
Enzo was over the moon when he found out that I had forgiven him. “I am gonna take your gown off of you. I swear I will not be doing any funny business with you. I will just hold you. Skin on skin, no walls in between. Do you think you are gonna be okay with that?” For some reason, the mention of skin on skin excited me. So I just nodded my head.
Enzo undid the gowns belt. He draped it off of my shoulders, revealing my shoulders and half of my breasts. He placed soft kisses all over my shoulders. Then he took the gown off of my body. He left me bare. But as promised, he didn't try anything. Instead, he covered my body with a blanket and laid down on the bed while I was still on top of his lap. One of his hands was in my hair. He was massaging my scalp. while the other one was on my ass. He might not be trying anything but I was feeling everything.
“Let me take you away for a while. Just you and me. Just for two days. It will be like a short honeymoon.” Enzo whispered in my ear and I rolled my eyes at him. I raised my head to look him in the eye.
“You have never really taken me on a proper honeymoon. It has always been a short honeymoon.” I complained and he laughed out loud.
“I promise you. Once Marian is big enough to eat, I will take you on a proper honeymoon. But for now, I would like to spend some alone time with you. If you are up for this?” His offer was tempting but I was worried about Marian.
