Chapter 44 - 43

Daisy found Matthew in their bedroom, sitting all alone, in deep thought, "Why are you here alone? Is anything wrong?" she asked.

"Hmm…", Matthew mumbled.

"Say something, are you not happy that your son got married?" Daisy complained.

"Of course I am happy, my dear, but I'm worried about the future," said Matthew. 

Daisy took Matthew's hand in hers. She knew what had been discussed in his study the day Dimitri brought home his wife and his son. Matthew warned him that there are things that can never be hidden, they will always find a way to get revealed, and when they do, the consequences may be irreversible.

"We will hope that our fears never happen. Dimitri and Aurora look like they get along. She may not love him right now, but I can see the chemistry. We know how stubborn Dimitri is, and he always gets what he wants, no matter what anybody says, so there's no stopping him. They already have a son together, so that will make things easier", Daisy explained.

Matthew nodded. Once you love a person, everything changes. It was the same case for him. He was arrogant and stubborn once, but once he met the love of his life, all logic went out the window, and he surrendered to his fate. 

"What will I do without you?" he asked softly.

"You'd probably be miserable," she joked.

"That's true, I would be," he easily agreed. It took a while for him to realize it, but meeting her was the best thing that ever happened to him, "You are my life."

"Oh hubby…," she touched his cheek. He loved it whenever she called him that. She was the only one who was able to shake him to the core and bring out the tenderness in him.

Matthew kissed her passionately. After all these years, their passion had never ebbed. He could never have enough of her, his desire for her was still insatiable.

Today had been a very joyous event, and due to the relaxed atmosphere, dinner had more enjoyable, so they had it extended. Enzo was allowed to stay up way past his bedtime to celebrate with the adults.

Since they were both at home, Dimitri and Aurora took Enzo to his bedroom to take his bath and read him a story. The day had ended way better than she expected, the tense air around them the first night she was brought to their home was almost gone. Even Matthew did not seem as intimidating as before. She was thankful that Daisy had been very accommodating and welcoming since she got there, which eased most of the tension.

So when it was time for the newlyweds to head to their room Aurora felt exhausted. 

Dimitri had felt that she was tired after the long day they had, so he told her to take a bath before he did, and she was thankful because she just wanted to relax and go to bed. She was now Mrs. Santoris, she thought as she sat in the very warm, luxurious bath staring at her ring.

When she was done, she wore one of the silky robes she found in the bathroom, she felt so pampered right now, and she still can't believe that this will be her life. 

She had finished her nighttime routine and was drying her hair when she saw Dimitri in the mirror. He was standing behind her in a towel and nothing else, his hair still slightly damp. Her throat went dry as she stared at his well-toned body. This was something she only saw in the magazines the actors and models had worked had to achieve. He had very well-defined muscles on his shoulders, his arms, and his abs. 

When she raised her eyes to meet his, she felt a shiver run down her spine. The intention in his eyes was clear that she blushed from her head to her toes. She felt the room suddenly warm up.

"I'm sorry I took so long in the bath," she tried to hide her embarrassment.

"I showered in the other bedroom to save time," he said with his husky voice. Was his voice always that sexy sounding, or was she just sensitive to him tonight?

She stood up so she could escape to the bedroom and give him his privacy when he stalked towards her. 

"I'm... I'll be in the other room so you can get dressed," she stammered, trying to get away, but she bumped into his chest in her haste.

He had his arms around her to steady her, "I won't need any clothes right now, and neither do you."

Her eyes grew wide as she gasped. She knew what he meant but did not expect him to want to consummate their relationship tonight, but then again, why wouldn't he? He had been patient the past few nights, sleeping beside her yet not expecting anything. He was always awake by the time she got up, so she didn't know if they even cuddled that night.

She assumed that he was giving her space, so they could develop their feelings for each other. Get to know each other better before they proceeded with their sexual relationship. 

But her assumptions were wrong. She knew because every time her gaze landed on his, he had this look in his eye that she had associated with need and hunger, not for food but for her. The only other time she saw him with that look was when the grooming team came to fix her up. He had come home early that day and gave her the same look before he devoured her lips and rubbed parts of her that woke up her desires.

If only she knew what he was really thinking every time he stared at her, she might not be able to look him in the eye again. 

"Aurora…," he said, slowing down his breath to help keep him calm, so he could explain, "I brought you to my home, had you meet my parents, and registered our marriage just to give you all the assurance that you would need to show you how sincere I am about my feelings for you. 

I haven't forced myself on you even though there were times when I almost lost control. I know you don't have feelings for me yet, but will you allow me to be your husband tonight and show you how much more I feel for you?"
