Unwrap Your Desire

OLIVIA

I COULD feel the anxiety slowly creeping up my spine and into my veins when I went to the alley where I saw the man who appeared to be stalking me. I was not that hundred percent sure whether my gut instinct was correct or if I was only being paranoid at this moment but one thing was for sure, my heart raced as if I were in serious danger.

As I approached that specific alley, my eyes were greeted by a throng of people falling in line at the entrance to a large horror house and roller coaster. I looked around each corner, trying to find that mysterious man I saw a minute ago, but because of the crowds blocking every pathway, it was difficult to see where the mysterious man had disappeared to. I craned my neck, hoping to spot him again, but to no avail.

I clutched my chest so hard while feeling the loud beating of my heart. I stopped for a moment, letting my eyes wander.

Was it a false feeling? Was I only being paranoid?

“I hope I am only being paranoid…” I mumbled to myself. The idea that someone might have been stalking sent shivers down my spine.

Chase had no idea that I had been fooling him all this time. I was certain that he would not hire someone to stalk me because if he felt suspicious of me, I would feel it right away. Could it be Chandria then? His younger sister despised me and had every reason to pull stunts like this given what had happened between us the day before.

“I hope not…” I said, shoving the idea that Chandria did try to hire someone to stalk me. “Maybe I am only mistaken. What are you even thinking, Olivia?”

I shook my head and decided to go back to the restaurant. Chase and Mikael were both done with their food when I went back to our table. They were having a conversation when Chase’s attention went to me.

“Who did you talk to on the phone?”

I smiled at him, my gaze landed on Mikael. “It was Mikael’s mom.”

“My mom?” Mikael’s eyes sparkled with excitement when he heard his mom’s name. “Is she going home, Momma Reese?”

I nodded at him happily. “Of course, little buddy. Your mom misses you so much. She will pick you up tomorrow morning!”

“Yay!” Mikael threw a punch in the air, seemingly happy that he would see his mother after two days of not having her around.

“Can’t he stay longer with us?” Chase asked all of a sudden, which made me stunned for a few seconds.

“Chase, he has to go to school,” I replied, giving him a sympathetic look. “And you have to go to work.”

He nodded as a response, then ruffled Mikael’s hair. “I am going to miss you then, buddy!”

Mikael chuckled. “I will ask mom to let me visit you next weekend, Uncle. Then we can play video games and Xbox!”

“You better practice then because I will defeat you in every game!”

Then they fist bumped. A wide smile escaped my lips as I watched the both of them. Chase looked even hotter when he got along with kids.

We drove home after that dinner. Mikael was so exhausted that he immediately fell asleep a few minutes after getting settled in the passenger’s seat. In fact, I was so tired as well. It felt like I was babysitting both Mikael and Chase the whole time in the amusement park, but to sum it up, I would say that I really enjoyed hanging out with these two. I let out a soft giggle, recalling how my husband became like a kid in an instant today.

“You seem happy. Penny for your thoughts?” Chase asked curiously while driving.

I glanced in his direction. His oceanic eyes were pinned on the road, his brows slightly furrowed out of curiosity, and his lower lip was moist after he licked it. He looked so damn hot whenever he drove a car. He definitely looked like the highest-paid model in the world, and the idea that he was my husband was like a bragging right.

“I cannot stop thinking about how we had fun today. Thank you for bringing us to the amusement park, Chase.” I turned to the passenger seat and looked at Mikael who was asleep. “Our little buddy here totally enjoyed the day.”

The side of his lips curled up for a smile. “I wanted to make sure that Mikael’s stay with us will be worthwhile. I also wanted us to unwind a bit. I’ve been wanting to go on a date with you. It’s been a while after all.”

“Hmm, and I hope you had fun going on a date with me and Mikael.”

“I did, my love. I’m a bit sad that Mikael will leave us tomorrow. I plan to teach him how to play video games. Maybe some other time?” He jerked his head a bit and gave me a sideway glance.

“You can hang out with him some other time, Chase. He’ll have a summer break soon so I will ask Lara to borrow him for a while if you want,” I said and winked at him.

“Thanks, Reese…” He smiled widely, obviously liking the idea of hanging out with Mikael on a summer break. He reached for my left hand and guided it to his lips. He kissed my knuckles softly. “I can’t wait for us to have our own baby. Regardless of the gender, I will spend a lot of time playing with our child, teaching it a lot of things. I want to become a father who our child could be proud of.”

Here we were back at this conversation again. He was hoping for a child, which I could never give him, a child that was not even part of the plan to begin with. I swallowed hard as I felt a lump building up inside my throat. For some reason, I felt bad about the fact that I could not give him a child. I did not know why, but it surely hit a soft spot inside of me that wanted to spoil and give him everything he wanted, and I knew that it wasn’t right to have that kind of feeling toward him.

“You will definitely become a good father, Chase. You seem good at handling kids, seeing how you handled Mikael all day.” I chuckled even though I didn’t like this conversation anymore, I needed to act as if I was interested. “Pretty interesting…”

He chuckled too. “We should plan out having a baby soon, Reese.”

His words made me more anxious. “Isn’t it too early, don’t you think?”

He shook his head. “No, I think we’re in the right time to have one. But of course, I will wait until you become ready for that next phase of our life. No pressure, baby.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

I managed to give him a warm smile even though it felt like I was being torn inside.

I could never give you a child, Chase. I could never bear something that would only be a constant reminder of how I deceived a billionaire to suck money out of his pocket. I could never mother a child who would always remind me of my sins.

I could never do all that…

When we arrived home, Chase immediately took care of Mikael. The kid was so exhausted that he didn’t wake up even after Chase carried him out of the car. As we walked to the porch of the mansion, I noticed that there was a white box, something like a gift, beside the main double doors. Chase didn’t notice it though, as he was busy with Mikael. My forehead creased as I looked at it, then my gaze followed my husband. Was he expecting someone to deliver him a present today?

I let out a sigh, took the box and looked at the card attached to it.

It was for Reese Jones, whose role was played by me.

Wait, what? My brows furrowed as I checked the card. I was not expecting anyone to send me a gift, nor any deliveries at all. The card did not indicate the sender’s information, so I checked every side of the box to see if I could see anything helpful, but there was none.

“Who would send Reese a gift?” I mumbled under my breath.

In the end, I shrugged and did not waste my time questioning myself. Perhaps this came from one of Reese’s friends, if she had any, or probably from a fan since she was somehow a known swimmer and athlete. I carried the box all the way to the living room and left it on the center table.

I ran upstairs and went to our bedroom. There I saw Chase tucking Mikael to bed. I smiled inwardly as I walked toward him, then hugged him from behind.

“You’ve done a great job today,” I told him. My head rested on his back, and the manly scent of a perfume lingered on my nose. I sniffed him more. “You smell so good that I could hug and smell you this way forever.”

He chuckled and I felt him checking over his shoulder. “I’d prefer you saying that while grinding on my lap, hugging and smelling me all at the same time.”

His words made me so excited that I could feel my own musk. “Are you trying to give me an idea?”

“Sort of, but you can always improvise…” He turned around to face me, then leaned down to kiss me on my neck.

My eyes shut instantly, and I could not help but bite my lips whenever he sucked the skin of my neck. The thrill went through me. With Chase’s lips tasting me down to my clavicle, my body went ablaze. I tilted my head, giving him more access while I pinned my body closer to his, looking for the warmth I’ve been dying to feel for the past two nights. It appeared that Chase had felt it too- the strong lust and desire -given how turned on he became when I let out a soft moan.

“Damn it. Not here,” he murmured softly. He stopped kissing my neck and gazed over at Mikael, who was still asleep soundly on our bed. “Let’s go to the guest room,” he added and I nodded.

The very moment I closed our bedroom door so we could go to the guest room, Chase kissed me so roughly that it made me suck my breath. In a swift move, he carried me, snaking both of my legs around his waist and caressing my bottom. With his every touch, my body seemingly burned in fire. I kissed him back torridly, my hands traveling from his back to his hair.

“Fuck, I miss you…” I murmured in between our kisses.

He walked somewhere until I felt the wall brushing against my back. He kissed my neck once again, licking it as if it was his favorite spot. I grinded my hips downwards to feel the hardness of his member, and I let out a loud moan the moment it brushed against my wet private part.

He chuckled and thrusted once which made me gasp. “Slow down, wife. I miss you too, and I want to take it slow.”

“No, I want you right-”

He kissed me on my lips, cutting my words off, which drove me insane. I still tried to grind despite our position–me leaning my back on the wall while my legs were wrapped around his waist, and him pinning me carefully so that I would not fall.

“You’re getting more impatient…” he uttered. I felt his fingers traveling all their way down to my wet spot. I gasped when he started rubbing me slowly down there, then later on bit my lower lip as I felt the sensation within my inner soul.

“Damn it, this is so good…” I whispered, continuing to grind while his fingers kept pleasuring me down there. “Fuck, take me now, Chase… please…”
