Chapter 176 Amy’s Self Restraint

"So... How are things with Steven?" Amy started, taking the embarrassing spotlight away from herself.

Suzy's face colored red as she averted her gaze from Amy's piercing blues. The latter could practically guess progress had been made between the two. She felt excited for her friend as she paid extra attention to her.

"Something happened the day we brought you in at the hospital", she admitted with a shy smile. Amy had on a smug smile. "I-I was stressed out about your condition-"

"Uh-huh", Amy responded in a sing-songy way as she cupped her chin in her hand.

"And.... Stop looking at me like that!" She could not handle Amy's amused expression. It made her blush even more.

Amy ignored her and pressed on. "So how was he?"

Suzy's mouth fell open. The butterflies in her stomach danced around as Amy's question reminded her of her passionate night with Steven Burn. Though her face burned red, she countered with a question of her own.

"Would you tell me if I asked how good Mr. Frost is in bed?"

"Yeah, you have the proof right here", she gestured at her stomach.

"What a brag!" Suzy teased earning a smile from Amy.

Edmund knocked and was let in with some maids to bring the two ladies snacks and drinks to accompany them as they chatted. It had been a while since she sat down and just chatted with a fellow female. She spent the afternoon there having lunch with the couple and chatted a little more before she left.

"Call me when you get there", Amy said in between the hug they were sharing.

"I will. Take care of yourself", she said as she pulled out of the hug to which Amy nodded. "Mr. Frost."

"Dr. Glynne", he gave a nod.

A car drove her around the mansion, taking her where the helicopter awaited her. As she was a doctor, Zach prepared that as transport to not delay her in case of emergency. Deep down, Amy felt a little envious. Susan was going back to West Village. She was not complaining about being in the city with Zach but she just missed the people there. She especially missed Stella. She sighed at this thought.

"Thank you", she said. She had a lot to thank him for. He was sacrificing a lot for her. He shook his head as she caressed her cheek.

"Let's go inside", he said.

Edmund was quick to get the doors for them as they walked in. She leaned into his embrace as they walked and her hands subconsciously rested on her stomach.

"So, pilates huh?" He quietly asked.

"Yeah, Stella signed me up for a class back in West Village", she smiled at the fond memory.

"I'll join you."

She stopped making him do the same as she looked up at him in surprise. "You know how to do pilates?"

"Mm.... No. But, I know there are some positions that will require the two of us", he said in a voice only the two of them could hear.

Amy's mind took a dive into the gutter imagining those 'positions' except they were not pilates. She cleared her throat and averted her gaze, feeling embarrassed by her thoughts. She didn't want to seem too eager to do it especially now that she was in the clear. Zach would surely find her to be a pervert.

"I want a snack", she blurted out.

"What type of snack?"

Why does that sound suggestive too? These damn hormones! She spun on her heels and left for the kitchen.

"I'll see what I can find!" She shouted over her shoulder.

Zach smiled to himself. He found it cute how she exercised her self restraint. He followed after her to find her looking through the fridge. Two maids stood to the side as they watched their young Mistress.

"What do you want to eat? I can make it for you", he said.

The maids gasped in fear. They didn't want a repeat of what Margaret went through when their master did his own laundry.

"Sir-"

He dismissed them with a wave of a hand as he walked over to Amy. He stood behind her and looked into the fridge.

"No need for cooking. I just need... Some yoghurt should do it", she said.

She took a whole jar, a box of strawberries, blueberries, and granola.

"Let me plate it for you", he offered.

Amy sat in a stool around the counter and watched him. He rolled up his sleeves to his elbow. He took a bowl. First went in the yoghurt, then he sliced the strawberries according to Amy's instructions before he arranged them in the bowl, followed by the other berries and then granola.

It was a simple task but Amy felt he looked too appealing. He was seducing her without even trying. He wiped the edge of the bowl with a towel and served it to her. He rested his fists on the counter assuming a dominant stance. Amy sucked in her bottom lip as she imagined being trapped between those strong arms as he pummeled her from behind and-

She was snapped out of her thoughts when he suddenly walked over to her and grabbed the back of her head as he initiated a kiss.

"Mm!" She moaned in surprise.

It was a kiss full of want and strong desire. He pulled on her hair as he deepened the kiss. Tongues fought for dominance, her hands went to his neck while his fell to her waist where he pulled her closer. They both wanted to be closer than they already were. The kiss awakened a strong hunger and thirst that needed to be satisfied. Zach abruptly broke the kiss before he could rip her clothes off right then.

"I need to hear you say it", he breathed as he rested his forehead against hers.

Amy took a couple of deep breaths before she willed courage and said those three words.

"I want you."

"Good girl", he said before he lifted her into his arms.

Her arms wrapped around his neck while legs wrapped around his waist when he started moving out of the kitchen. He stole kisses from her lips as he walked, and planted some on her chin, trailing to her neck where he nibbled on her soft spot.

"Mm.... My granola and yoghurt", she mumbled with her eyes closed enjoying the pleasure his mouth was giving to her neck.

"I'll make you another one when we're done", he answered with a husky tone before he nibbled on her soft spot.

Once they're were done? Would that be today? She felt that would not be any time soon. But her heart thudded in excitement and the butterflies in her stomach danced around. Finally! They were going to do it!
