"Stay with me" Marcelo demanded, both coiled beneath the bed covers as they cuddled in each other's arms.
Theressa was done with training for the day, and the two had just finished rounds of intimacy, despite his injuries he never got tired of it.
Marcelo traced his fingers along Theressa's arm, while his head rested on his other arm, their bodies were almost one, as Theressa's head was to his chest, both staring at the large window.
"I can't," Theressa muttered, her voice soft, soothing Marcelo in every way, her voice cracking and raspy, a result of her moans and screams while Marcelo ruined her insides.
"Why?" Marcelo left a soft kiss on Theressa's shoulder joint. Theressa had been coming daily to Macelo's mansion for the training, it was the third day of Theressa's training, Marcelo could say she had made improvements, but it wasn't enough, her safety was the most important to him, he couldn't bare to lose her and the minute she is displayed to his world she would definitely become a target.
"I don't know," Theressa muttered, wrapping Marcelo's hand around her as she fiddled with his long fingers.
"Do you have a reason? I could change my mind if you have a good reason" Theressa shrugged.
Marcelo let out a little laugh, his breath playing on Theressa's skin causing her to shiver, "Lots of reasons, we could have marathon sex" Marcelo teased, earning him a smack on his chest as Theressa turned to face him, her cheek is a shade of pink. Marcelo dreaded time. If he could, Marcelo would break down the world clock and slow down time. He wanted to hold Theressa, to never let go.
"It's for your safety and your mother's too" Marcelo stated. Theressa's lips grew to a smile, her eyes sparkling as she stared into Marcelo's eyes. "I still feel…" Theressa trailed
"Like I'm dreaming, being in your arms, kissing you" Theressa let out a breath, her eyes never wanting to leave Marcelo's.
Silence endowed the large room, as both had their gaze locked, like they didn't care about the world around them, their hunting past, the burning flames in their heart, the rage and cravings for revenge eased down.
Until Marcelo lets his thoughts get the best of him.
Marcelo's lips twitched into a smirk as his gaze darkened "Want me to take you deeper into the dream world?"
Theressa cleared her throat as she proceeded to get off the bed "Having a bath together would be nice" Theressa winked as she walked into the bathroom, hips swaying from side to side, her every part full on display. Marcelo didn't need words or further explanation as he got off the bed and joined Theressa. It's definitely not going to be an ordinary bath.
Marcelo had dropped Theressa off and words couldn't tell how much he wanted her back on his bed, her scent roaming around his room.
The house suddenly seemed empty, large hallways, lots of rooms, but he was sitting in the dining room, reminiscing about his moments with Theressa.
"You seemed to be in a good mood" A familiar voice reverberated through the empty dining room as he walked up to his brother.
"It's almost midnight, what are you here for?" Marcelo hissed, George wasn't the one he wanted around, he couldn't keep up with his brother's talking, at least not now when he just wants to lay in bed and think about Theressa, the meeting tomorrow and her safety.
"You should see your face, you look like someone who's in love" George teased, laughing as he took a seat close to Marcelo.
Both brothers paused, George lifting his head in an abrupt motion, as he stared at his brother. "Are you in love with your secretary?" George's eyes were widened, stunned by his brother's
Marcelo did care for Theressa, Theressa was different from the other ladies he had toyed around with, Marcelo enjoyed having sex with her, she was good at taking him so well, but love. Their relationship was no where close to love, though Marcelo wanted her around forever, he never took it as loving Theressa, or wanting to spend his life with her, Theressa was interesting and he didn't want to lose her.
Marcelo glared at George, whose lips paused to a thin line as he immediately regretted uttering such words. "Do whatever you like, I'm off to bed" Marcelo stated abandoning his wine and fruits as he left for his room, leaving his older brother alone in the dining room.
"I'll be crashing here tonight" George yelled to his brother already walking up the stairs.
It took Marcelo more than minutes to shut his eyes, he was lost in his nightmare, tossing around his bed to not notice the person walking around his mansion.
It was finally the day of the meeting, the day Theressa would be exposed to the beast like humans in person and no longer in documents. Marcelo had tried to get Theressa scared, to lessen her spirit of determination, but she was always right in the end, it was the only way to not lose the position his uncle worked so hard to maintain, the only way to keep the position handed over to me.
Marcelo was to be out, he couldn't be in the meeting, they had to make them feel he still knew nothing about the meeting, he needed to believe Theressa and Kayden were betraying while he was still unconscious at the hospital. There were only a few people that were aware of Marcelo being discharged from the hospital, Kayden, Theressa, Miss Rita, George and Theressa's mum, Mrs Taylor, who was sitting in his living room. Theressa had sent his mum to Marcelo's Mansion , she had no idea about what her daughter was doing and why she was out but she was certain about Marcelo's stand in Theressa's life.
"So… how's the wedding plans going?" Mrs Taylor began, feeling uncomfortable with the silence. Marcelo didn't mind her, he loved the silence, he has never been good with parents, he was always the bad image and so he never tried to please them. Marcelo was down on the news he was reading from his Ipad, but Mrs Taylor's question had caught him off guard, his brows knitted in confusion.
"With your fiancée , Theressa told me you have a fiancée " Mrs Taylor smiled, a smile that didn't reach her eyes, a fake smile.
Marcelo almost headpanned himself, he never even got to put a ring on Pillar's fingers and even though he planned on cutting the family off once Theressa gets his position.
"The wedding was called off" Marcelo stated, not bothering to let out a smile and Mrs Taylor almost hissed at Marcelo.
"Thanks for saving my daughter's life" Mrs Taylor uttered, though Marcelo had hurt Theressa a lot of times, he's the reason she isn't laying in the hospital bed at the moment.
Marcelo smiled in response, returning back to reading his news, the silence slipping the living room once more.
However, the peaceful silence had switched up in a matter of seconds as Marcelo opened a message sent to him, his eyes widening at the image on his screen. The pictures of the car Kayden and Theressa had used to attend the meeting was squashed, a video of the car being pushed into a river from the hill.
Marcelo had switched up to check on Theressa. His tracker was still on her, and she was still at the place of the meeting.
Something definitely is going on, someone had found out about his plan, someone close.
