Chapter 220 BONUS CHAPTER 5 (TALIA)
That lunch succeeded in dispelling all of Agnes's doubts about the future. I had proven my point that Daisy wasn't a bad mother-in-law. In fact, Daisy didn't care at all about Agnes's past. She was a wise woman. Daisy understood that the past was part of a person's journey, so she had no right to judge anyone based on theirs.
The lunch exceeded Agnes's expectations. She was delighted that everyone, including me, enjoyed her cooking. Daisy didn't even leave a crumb on her plate. She seemed genuinely pleased that her two daughters-in-law knew how to cook so well, even though Bruce and Cielo had their own personal chefs.
"What's on your mind that you're neglecting your favorite novel?"
"Cielo."
I closed the novel I'd never read and got up from the sofa. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even hear him approach.
"Why didn't I hear your footsteps in the hallway?"
"Because your thoughts were taking up all your attention."
He took off his jacket and threw it on the sofa. I picked it up and hung it on a hanger.
"I thought I'd find you in bed."
I helped him unbutton his shirt. His palms automatically landed on my hips. I loved how compatible we were. Our spark of passion seemed unstoppable, only to flare even more.
"I was waiting for you to get home. You said you'd be home by ten."
"Sorry, the meeting with my client lasted longer because we had some disagreements. I had to straighten things out, or they'd never trust me with their money."
"It's always about money."
"That's the risk of marrying a banker."
"I suspect you don't have me or the kids on your mind. You've skipped dinner for two days. Zaiden misses you."
"And my baby girl?"
"My nipples are raw because she sucked so hard. Sometimes she even bites them."
"I'm sorry I missed dinner with you guys."
"Apologize to Zaiden, not me."
"I'll work from home tomorrow, so I can spend the day with him."
"Are you sure?"
I rubbed his chest with my nails.
"We both know you can't take your eyes off your work. Even if you work from home."
"You forget that I took care of Celine for a week while you were recovering from giving birth."
"Just one week, and then you went back to your usual busy schedule."
"I've been working harder lately because I don't want those people ruining our trip to Florida."
"No phone, no tablet, no laptop."
"Fuck them. I don't need them as long as I have you all to myself. No kids and their crying."
I chuckled at how spoiled Cielo was. This former crime lord was sulking when he was no longer the only one in my life.
"Seriously? Are you jealous of your own kids?"
"It can't be helped. I used to have you all to myself. I have to share your attention with them now. It's not that I don't love them. I love my kids very much. It's just that sometimes I want you all to myself."
"You can always have me all to yourself every night."
I slid the shirt over his shoulders and dropped it to the floor. His impressive muscles made me drool. No matter how often I saw him naked, I always found myself drooling. He hit the gym every morning. And when Zaiden woke up, he'd take him with him to our private gym. Zaiden liked to sit on Cielo’s back while Cielo did push-ups. He'd scream like he was riding a horse.
"Yeah, if only that crybaby princess hadn't interrupted us. Three days ago, she cried so hard when I was about to climax. It was fucking annoying."
"She's your daughter. If she's annoying, she obviously inherited it from you."
I hit his chest lightly. I didn't mean to hurt him, though the sound was loud, as if I'd just hit him with a baseball bat.
"I'm well aware of that. That's why..."
"What?"
He suddenly jerked me toward him. His body heat radiated through me, covered only by a satin nightgown. I wasn't wearing anything underneath because I was planning to seduce Cielo tonight. Such a slut.
I stood on my tiptoes and whispered against his lips.
"What were you going to say?"
"I want it to be just the two of us on that trip. No kids. Consider it a honeymoon, since we never had one."
"Yeah, I own all your assets, but there's only one thing I can't have, you."
"I'll always be yours, baby."
His lips tried to reach mine, but I tilted my head slightly, so his lips landed only on the corner of my lips.
"No. You belong to everyone. You won't let me work so you can have me all to yourself, but I can't stop you from working."
"I have to work because I'm poor. I gave you everything I have. So I have to drag my ass out to work so I can pay your favorite chef a decent salary."
"Hmm... What a lovely man."
"I work for you and our kids."
"That's even better. You must be very tired. Need a massage, hmm?"
"I guess so."
"Here?"
I felt the tenting of his slack. His cock had grown so big and thick.
