Chapter 53 - 52

Sara had retired from the modeling industry after she got married. She had taken over her father's business as she had always planned since Ava had no interest in taking over and there were no male heirs to step in. When she took over, she took a little of her free-spirited attitude with her and applied it to her work, and so far it had worked out well for her.

At home, she easily took over the household, from managing the household finances to cooking meals occasionally, choosing their office attire for the next day, and whenever Blake fell ill, she stayed by his side the whole time, opting to work from home so she could watch him closely. Blake was surprised that she was showing more of her vulnerable and feminine side to him every day, he felt pampered. This made him fall more deeply in love with her.

Blake had changed a lot when he got married as well. He was not as impulsive and short-tempered as before when it came to dealing with his business and employees. He had always been gentle when it came to Sara, so he just added more thoughtfulness and sweetness to the mix. Just like Tristan, he was putty in Sara's hands, giving her everything she asked for. 

The only thing that he couldn't seem to tamp down was his desire for her. He was a man who had this never-ending thirst for her all the time. During their honeymoon, they rarely left their hotel room, and he blamed Sara for that, getting her naked every time she tried to dress up for dinner or a day out. He said he just couldn't stop himself, she was too pretty or too sexy, and he was not ready to share her with everyone else.

He thought this was a phase that they would pass as soon as they came back to their daily lives but the absence just made him crave her more. Jealousy was a new thing for Blake to deal with, this feeling had never been in his vocabulary, but with Sara, it shot out through the roof. He did not like men staring at her when she went to business gatherings, so he forbade her to wear revealing clothes that showed too much skin or hugged her body too tight. But she would just shrug off his conditions, she was still her own person, and she was going to do what she wanted, and she would always win with the argument that she was a business executive now and she needed to dress the part.

"Baby, are you getting bored?" Blake whispered into her ear as he traced a finger up and down her arm. There was hunger in his eyes. He was ready to leave and get her alone and to himself. When he wanted to go home, he used this line to let her know.

It had been a while since they came out to meet their friends, and she was still enjoying herself, "No, I'm still enjoying myself," she answered, winking at him and smiling to him know that she knew what he wanted. 

"Baby…," he trailed on as he nuzzled her neck.

"Will you guys stop it!" Aiden said in an irritated tone. He was getting sick watching both couples being sweet with each other. "Ugh! Maybe this was a bad idea," he thought while rolling his eyes.

He was flanked by both couples, and there was nowhere else to look. On one side of the couch, Tristan was talking sweetly with Ava while Blake was flirting with Sara on the other.

"It's only natural that a single person like you would never understand. 'Coz nobody loves you," Blake grinned.

"Well, wait 'til Dimitri gets here. I won't be alone, and you better straighten up, otherwise he'd probably leave as soon as he gets here. Heh!" Aiden said.

"Dada play here?" Enzo asked as soon as they got out of the car. It was a big place, and he thought maybe they came to visit a new place for him to play in. 

"No baby, Dada brought you here so you and mommy can meet my friends. Don't be shy to say hi to them okay?" Dimitri suggested.

"How many?" Enzo asked, "Kids?"

"Three uncles and two aunties, no kids, but it's going to be okay," Dimitri said as he squeezed Aurora's hand for reassurance, the last statement was for her, so she wouldn't feel too nervous about meeting his friends. Enzo had completely changed since they all lived with Dimitri, he was now more enthusiastic when he was meeting new people, gone was the shy little kid that hid behind her skirts all the time. 

"Uncles... Uncle Gabe?" he asked. While they were in the elevator. Gabe was his favorite Uncle, and could not imagine being without him.

Dimitri shook his head, "No, Uncle Gabe is busy tonight, he's not there. These are other nice uncles, you'll see."

Dimitri entered the room without knocking. And as soon as he did, all eyes were on them. 

Aiden coughed his drink up, "Bruh... Ahk! What?" 

Dimitri cooly herded his family towards his friends. He raised his eyebrows at Aiden to say something stupid. "This is my wife Aurora and my son Lorenzo," he said as he wrapped an arm around Aurora's shoulders.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Blake asked suspiciously.

"Don't curse in front of my son," Dimitri warned Blake.

"Huh! He probably hired them to act for him. Good job guys," Aiden mocked.

"Shut up with your nonsense," Dimitri snapped at Aiden.

"Well, you didn't need to do this just so you could compete with me," Tristan added, and Dimitri glared at him.

"These are my so-called friends. Tristan and his wife Ava, Blake and his wife Sara, and that loudmouth right there is Aiden," he pointed out to Aurora. She had no idea why his friends thought it was absurd for him to have a wife. She heard that the Aristocratic heirs didn't really get into any relationships or scandals with women. They never settled down until their beloved came into their lives, but Dimitri seemed like the nicest one of them all, so she was baffled.
