My Heartless Husband (Book 1 Heartless series)

The first kiss..

6 years back. It was a cold December morning when she got a call from Max. "Hello" she answered in a sleepy voice. 

"Hello Sarah, Can you come down to our St Peters cemetery? " Max spoke in soft tone.

Sarah jumped off and asked in a worried voice "What? Why cemetery? Where is Anthony?" 

There she was. Her first priority had always been Anthony. His well being was all that she had  prayed for.

"Well Mr Johnson had passed away." Max informed her.

Mr Johnson was the person who was no less than a parent to Anthony. Since Anthony's parents were not there for him while he was growing, it was Mr Johnson who loved him like his own son. But sadly his own son was a nuisance in his life. Mr Johnson had suffered from a massive heart attack when he got the news of his son being arrested for smuggling drugs.

Anthony was beside him for the last 24 hours. Max and Sarah were both with him the entire time. But the hospital management did not allow more than one attendant to be with the patient, so Max and Sarah had to leave Anthony alone. But the doctors were not able to save Mr. Johnson's life.

Since Mr. Johnson's son was arrested and he had no other  family members, so it was Anthony who had performed the last rites. As he buried the body in the cemetery ground, he sat down beside the grave and called Max to inform him. It was 6 a.m in the morning, cold and cloudy. 

Within 15 minutes Max was beside Anthony, kneeling down and offering his prayers to the departed soul. Soon Sarah joined them. She too knelt down and offered a bunch of white lilies. She then turned to look at Anthony whose face showed no emotions. He sat on the ground staring at the grave with a straight face. Sarah felt her heart heavy with sadness. She understood that though Anthony did not shed a single tear, the loss of his only guardian was a big setback for him. She wanted to comfort him but she was not sure about how he would react.

Soon it began to drizzle but Anthony remained unmoved. Seeing him still glued to his position, Sarah too did not move an inch from where she was kneeling.Sensing the casualty which they would have to pay if they do keep getting drenched, Max stood up and grabbed both Anthony and Sarah's hands and forcefully pulled them up. He hurriedly walked to his car, dragging both of them.

Once in the car, Anthony sat in silence not willing to speak with anyone. Sarah was also silent as she was worried about Anthony. Max was the only one whose brain was working at that time so he too kept quiet and drove the car as fast as he could to their apartment. They drove in silence but soon it was broken by Max's cell ringing.

Max parked the car on the side way  and took the call. It was from his mother. "Hello" he spoke in a low voice.

But after hearing what his mother said he shouted on the phone "God dammit. Am on my way."

Both Anthony and Sarah now worriedly looked at Max and waited for him to end the phone call. Once Max disconnected the call, he found himself receiving  questioning glances from both Anthony and Sarah. They didn't have to ask him as he told "Well my father's brother  had shown up at home with some god damned lawyers. He wants to claim our ancestral property which my late grandfather had transferred to my name before dying."

"Oh, family again" Sarah sighed. But Anthony kept silent and looked out of the window.

"I will drive home after dropping you both at our place. I have to end this family drama today even if I have to kick my relatives." Max spoke balling his fist, angry with his uncle. He looked over his shoulder to Sarah and gave her a message through his eyes which meant "You better be by Anthony's side and take care of him". Sarah too seemed to understand it and nodded.

Soon they arrived at  their apartment. Anthony got down from the car  still maintaining the silence, he just looked at Max  but did not speak. He closed the car door behind him and walked up to the building entrance. Sarah too got down but before getting down she told Max "Don't worry about him. I will take care of him. You just don't create unnecessary chaos now with your uncle."

Max smirked and said in a sarcastic tone "Ya right. OK . You too take care. bye. I will try to get back soon."

Sarah gave a light punch on his shoulder and got down. Max drove away while she stood there waving at him. She gave out a deep breathe and hurried upstairs to Anthony's flat.

She found Anthony's jacket thrown on the living room sofa. She picked it up and went up to Anthony's room. She found him leaning on his window and starring at the heavy rainfall. It was a gloomy day. Though it was early morning yet the sky outside remained  grey and dark. 

Sarah went up to him and lightly put her hand on Anthony's shoulder trying to comfort him. "I will make you coffee." she told and turned to go.

But Anthony grabbed her wrist and pulled her to him and hugged her, hiding his face in the nook of her neck. Sarah was taken aback by Anthony's move. She felt her heart racing and her body shivering. She too hugged him back sub consciously.

They stood there hugging each other for quite some time. Anthony then broke the hug slowly and looked at Sarah still holding her by her waist. She too looked back into his eyes , letting herself drown in his brown intent eyes.  Anthony's eyes felt on her lips which were slightly parted. Unable to hold his desires any longer, he sealed her lips with his. Sarah's eyes widened. She could hear her heart beats loud. 

Anthony broke the kiss and again looked at Sara with a longing look. It was like living a dream for Sarah when Anthony again brought his lips on Sarah's delicate ones. He started caressing her hair with one hand while he hold Sarah by  her waist with the other , holding her close to him. He kissed her slowly and hungrily tasting each corner of her mouth. It was a long kiss. After what seemed like an eternity, they slowly broke the kiss and intently looked at each other.  And went for another kiss, a passionate and sensuous at first but slowly it turned wild.

Sarah broke the kiss and turned her back to Anthony and grabbed the edge of the study table beside her. She couldn't believe what had happened between her and Anthony. Her first kiss. She felt overwhelmed with joy as she shared her first kiss with the man she loves. She closed her eyes and bit her lips trying to convince herself that the kiss was real. Anthony came behind her and held her shoulder and gently turned her to face him.  Sarah's cheeks turned a shade more pink then her natural blush. 

He slowly unbuttoned her jacket and threw it on the floor. Sarah shivered and looked at him with nervousness. Anthony smirked and cupped her face and kissed her again. His hands then slowly went down to unbutton her shirt  and let it fall on the ground. Sarah stood there in her jeans and bra. She looked like a doll with her hair falling over her chest and her hands moved up to cover her breast.

Anthony then slowly pushed her to his bed and made her lie down. He gently removed her hands that were covering her breast. He kissed  her lips, her neck , her chest and between the valley of her breasts while his hands traced over her neck to stomach. He tickled her belly button which sent her shivers. She trembled a bit and her heart beats were louder.

He slowly unhooked her bra and took his shirt off.He leaned on her,his lips again invaded her mouth, touching in every corner of it , while his hands gently kneaded her soft breasts, making her moan inside his mouth. He then gently kissed her breasts and bit it lightly which increased her moaning.

He took off her jeans and undies and then took off his own jeans and boxers. He slowly parted her legs and kissed her inner thighs. Soon both were burning in desire to be inside each other. Anthony took one long look at Sarah as he positioned himself between her legs.

Sarah said in a low and shy voice " I am a virgin."

Anthony  kissed her "I will go slow on you" he replied in a gentle voice.

He inserted himself carefully inside her , while she closed her eyes tightly and grabbed his hands. "Ahh" she screamed in a low voice  with his first thrust. He stopped thrusting but kissed her passionately trying to relax her. When he found her  relaxed he slowly deepened himself  more inside her until he was completely inside her.

He started thrusting gently at first and then increased his speed once Sarah's face showed no signs of pain anymore. Gradually their bodies started moving together and they both climaxed at the same time. 

Streams of tears rolled down her cheeks as Anthony's head rested on Sarah's chest, breathing heavily.  Sarah for the first time felt the tears of happiness. She hold him tightly, wishing him never to leave her.

You remain unknown to the love you hold for someone unless one fine day you find it nowhere near you.
