His secretary

Chapter 19

Emma's POV

"I thought he was coming over" John whined.

"Yeah, honey. I thought you invited him" And again mom added.

"Well he had better things to do"

Yeah better things to do like kissing that blonde in front of the damn paparazzi.

"Ooooh that's too bad. I wanted a ride in his awesome car" John said disappointedly looking at his peas.

"Why is everybody sulking? More food for us!"

Ace being the usual jester he is, kept more tatter tots on his plate. We were currently seated in the dining room of our new home. I still can't believe that the house mom won was newly refurbished. That was some great luck!

Even as dinner continued, my phone buzzed but I dared not look at the messages. I knew it was him, and if I read those messages god knows I would fall for his antics. After clearing the dishes, tucking John to bed, taking care of Ace's stubbornness and making sure mom took her pills, I slumped on the couch. Honestly I wasn't feeling sleepy on the contrary, I felt hurt, betrayed, cheated.

Who was that woman? Was he even into blonds? What happened to courting me till I gave in, or was I just some cheap shot? Why am I even like this, I should have seen past his pretence. God so help me to withstand him. I checked my phone after minutes of internal conflict. The first message was;

I'm back. Did you miss me?

And another;

I missed you.

The rest;

I couldn't sleep, I spent the whole night thinking about you.

You spend so much time in my mind.

Aren't you firing some comebacks at me?

Are you mad at me for some reason?

Emma?

You missed me, my foot! Why was my heart feeling this way after I had hard core evidence that he was still the same playboy boss I knew. Why was my heart still beating so fast and butterflies in my stomach when he said I was on his mind. I was cheezy to even dream of him. I tell you of all the romantic films I had watched how they described love was nothing to what I was feeling right now. It was like your heart was pumping blood to your organs faster than usual it was like happiness gushing from all sorts in my body it was like tiny butterflies doing somersaults in my tummy.

I was living a lie in my marriage with Cole. I didn't feel this way for Cole except bitterness and resentment. And now Cain, there were so many emotions about him. But right now jealousy and rage led first. My thoughts were interrupted with a sudden knock on the door.

It was already nearing twelve and everyone was soundly asleep. Switching on the lights and firmly tightening the belt to my robe I headed for the door.

Opening the door I came face to face with a large teddy bear hiding the face of its bearer. It took seconds for him to reveal his face. That smile of his and that cute little dimple dominating my mind in a just a matter of seconds.

"Hey"

"Hey" I said dryly.

"So Teddy over here wanted to check up on you since he missed you so f*****g much. Won't you let him in?" He pouted.

"Of course I missed Teddy so much! Sure come on in, Teddy" And I yanked the teddy bear from his arms slamming the door on his face. Served him right!

"Oh Teddy how I wished your master was as honest as you"

I mean look at him he's pretending as if nothing happened. Like nothing actually happened. And he knocked again. I opened the door to find him standing there looking devilishly gorgeous. How did he manage to do this? He had a V necked t-shirt underneath that black leather jacket and a pair of faded jeans. I can't hide the fact that I was practically ogling at his bulging muscles.

"Before you slam the door on my face. I'm sorry okay?! I should have arrived sooner if I knew you missed me that much"

He has no idea has he? Missed him? Sure but that was not it.

"You have no clue, do you?"

"What?"

Urgently looking for the photo that was now trending in social media, I gave him my phone.

"Yeah, Cain. Seems you were so busy in Italy tending to business as usual"

"Holy crap. How even? I'm gonna sue these bastards!"

"Why sue them? They're eye openers, at least I got to see that you were playing me for a fool"

"Look Em. Let me in and I can explain all this"

Don't fall for it. Don't look at his eyes. Dang it! I actually let him in. Let's see what he was gonna come up with.

"I don't know what the media is spewing right now but I can assure you it's not what it looks like. She kissed me"

"Right. Right. And your lips were innocent by standers, isn't it? How dare you kiss another woman?"

"Are you jealous?"

Well was I? Of course...of course yes.

"No...you can kiss whoever you want. I'm not your girlfriend anyway, I don't own you"

Though I really wished I did. I wished you were mine, that only I could get to kiss you, no one else!

"Em you own every single inch of me. My body and soul all belong to you, never question that. She stole a kiss from me believe it or not"

Should I? Who am I kidding? I love him.

"Body and soul, huh?"

"Am all yours, sweetheart"

He inched close to me and I swear my body was losing its balance.

"Really now?"

One more step and he was few centimeters no millimeters to where I was standing. His arm went around my waist pulling me close to him. I took in his cologne which hypnotized all my senses.

"Cross my heart and hope to die" he smiled before plunging his lips on mine.

It felt so good he was a good kisser I give him that. His lips so delicate on mine, nibbling my upper and lower lip simultaneously, his tongue seeking entrance into my mouth and when I parted my lips and gave him full access to my mouth. He ravished me that I let out moans of ecstasy. I could feel the smug on his face knowing what he had just achieved but all these stopped when....

"Can I ride your car once you two finish making out?"
