Chapter 17

Chapter 17 BLAIRE We end up going home earlier than he planned. He was thinking about staying at the hotel for the night to have some space and time for ourselves, but I didn’t like what he did a while ago while I was talking to Ethan. I understand that he’s jealous and wants to assert dominance; however, he can’t just do as he pleases. I’m just glad that Ethan seems clueless about what’s happening on the other line. If he noticed it, I don’t think I still have the strength to face him out of embarrassment.

“Are you still mad?” he asked while we were in his car.

I looked at Clifford, who was driving the car, worried that he might hear what we were arguing about. Sebastian seemed to notice that, so he pressed a button to close the small window between the front and back seats. Once we finally had a little privacy inside the tinted car, he quickly buried his face against the burrow of my neck and hugged me tightly.

“I’m sorry if I got jealous back then,” he murmured against my skin.

I can feel the warmth of his breath and the vibration of his voice against my skin. I tried to ignore the heat that started to crawl into my system, but it’s hard, especially when he’s this close to me. Regardless, I need to be firm about this. I can’t let him act like a wild beast whenever he’s jealous.

“It’s not your jealousy that’s the problem here. It’s what you do when you’re jealous. Do you realize how embarrassing it is for me if Ethan has any hint of what we were doing?” I snapped at him.

“So, what if he knows? You’re my wife, and I’m your husband. It’s normal if we do that. sort of thing,” he debated.

“It’s normal when we are alone. But it’s not when I’m talking to someb*dy!” I responded angrily.

He tightened his hug even more as he buried his face deeper against my neck, like a child. “Okay, I’m sorry. I promise not to do it again,” he promised.

“You should be. ‘Cause if you do that again next time, I’m going to forbid you to touch me for a month,” I warned him.

“A month?” I jolted from leaning on my should and looked at me with wide eyes. “Are you planning to kill me?” he added.

I hissed, “Oh, don’t be dramatic. You managed to stay celibate for a year, didn’t you?”

Chapter 17 “I did. But that’s different. You’ve been away, so I have no other choice. However, it’s totally different when you’re this close to me and you’re forbidding me to touch you. That’s like a death sentence, love,” he debated.

“Then don’t do it again. Simple.”

“Fine,” he scoffed before hugging me again. This time, I didn’t protest. I like the feeling. of his warm b*dy wrapped around mine.

Now that everything is starting to sink in, I realize how much I missed him. I never stopped loving him. Despite convincing myself a lot of times that I don’t love him anymore, I know I’m just fooling no one but myself.

As I was just starting to get comfortable, I noticed that we had already parked outside our house. Clifford quickly got off the car to open the car door for me.

“Aren’t you coming?” I asked him when I noticed that he wasn’t coming down with me.

“As much as I wanted to stay this whole afternoon with you, I better finish all my work today. I’m planning to take the week off starting tomorrow. So, I have a lot of work to finish today,” he answered. “But I’ll be home for dinner. Wait for me. I want to have dinner with you,” he added.

I giggled and said, “I’ll see you later then. What do you have in mind? I’ll cook it for you,” I asked him.

“I’d rather have you for dinner,” he said seductively before reaching for my hand and planting soft k*sses on top of it.

Clifford quickly looked away, pretending not to hear his boss flirt. He looks uncomfortable. On the contrary, Sebastian looks like he’s enjoying himself as he continues to tease me., “That’s for dessert. Now, what are you having for dinner?” I said, responding to his flirting with equal seduction.

Sebastian was about to respond when Clifford cleared his throat, reminding us of his presence. Sebastian chuckled as he shook his head before turning his attention back at me.

“Suprise me, love. I don’t care what you cooked; as long as your hands are the ones who prepare it, I’ll certainly love it,”

Sebastian said before planting another gentle k*ss on my hand.

“Be safe. I’ll see you later, I said before leaning closer to him and k*ssing him on the lips. I had a feeling that he’d grab me to deepen the k*ss, so I quickly moved away before he could even lift his hand.

Chapter 17 I can’t help but smile watching him pout his lips in protest. “Should I just stay here? Work can wait, right?” he suggested.

I roll my eyes at him for being so impatient. “Go to work. I don’t want my husband to go broke just because he can’t keep his d*ck in his pants.”

Surprise dances across his face as my unexpected words linger in the air. Amusement twin kles in my eyes, and I can’t resist a playful wink before making my way toward the door.

His stunned silence becomes a canvas upon which my enjoyment paints itself. It’s a moment of satisfaction watching him caught off guard, words momentarily escaping him.

Just as his car inches closer to the gate, my phone rings, breaking the momentary silence. A smile plays on my lips as I glance at the screen, revealing my husband’s name. The timing adds a touch of irony to the situation, and I answer with a composed demeanor. The juxtaposition of my lingering encounter with the unexpected call creates a curious blend of emotions within me.

I answer the call with a smile on my face. I haven’t even said anything yet since I heard. him speak on the other line. “I’m going to fck you so hard tonight that you won’t be able to walk the next day,” he said with his deep and baritone voice. He didn’t wait for my answer and immediately hung up the phone. Just as the car was making its turn, I saw him looking outside the window with a playful smirk on his lips.

I shook my head while giggling as I watched him leave. Once he’s finally gone, that’s when I go inside the house. I close the door behind me and head towards the stairs to go up to my room. I was just a few steps away from the door when I heard something speak from behind me.

“I think I underestimated your expertise to seduce my man. It’s been days since you came back, and you already managed to wrap him around your fingers? You’re really something,” Catherine said.

I took a deep breath before facing her. I was so over the moon because I patched everything with Sebastian that I totally forgot who to blame for our misunderstanding.

“I’ve already given you a year of advantage, dear sister. It’s not my fault that you didn’t get Sebastian, despite having him for yourself for the whole year. Maybe year. Maybe you didn’t underestimate me; rather, you overestimated yourself. You thought that by discarding me, you’d finally manage to take my husband away from me. Too bad my husband has no interest in you. You’re the past; I’m the present and his future. So, I’m warning you, Catherine. I will not let you destroy my marriage again. The moment you try something like that again, I’ll make sure that you’ll be waking up with no roof above your head and begging for a piece of bread just so you can eat.

“Don’t be too confident, Blaire. I am Sebastian’s first love. You don’t see how he was trying to give me everything I needed whenever I asked him to. You don’t see the look in his eyes when we’re alone. I know Sebastian still loves me. If you hadn’t come back, we’d probably be married by now.”

I sneered, “I can’t believe how delusional you are. I was so stu pid for falling for all your lies. I wasted a year away from my husband just because I didn’t trust him enough and chose to believe your meaningless words. But that’s over now. If you try to ruin my marriage again, I’m going to kill you,” I warned her.

I didn’t wait for her answer. I turn my back and head towards my room. I don’t-have to hear whatever SEND GIFT COMMENT 09:04 Mon, 22 Jan Ei
