Chapter 19 - Intimacy

It's been 20 days consecutive, she kept working and doesn't have time for him.

Well, they got study time together and worked together but their love scenes are missing. He's aching for her and he understands why she has to do it. Since he's the one who took back the Golden Age Entertainment just for.

Now, he said she'll rule it and so, she's doing everything to be a suitable President of the company. He said step by step but she's like taking two steps at a time.

She's a fast learner and she immediately understands what's in the Entertainment Industry. Maybe they have to take a break for a while, have a nice bubble Jacuzzi bath, full body massage, and a nice cuddle.

She opened her eyes, wincing in pain a little and then he kissed her forehead.

"You don't need to work too hard." He said softly.

"I'm fine."

"Fine?" he scoffed and clenched his fist. If he's there seeing it with his eyes, his heart will ache so much. "Sleep. I'll prepare soup for you." He reached the glass of water and gave it to her.

He had finished preparing their dinner and she's already up watching television for an audition to be the next shining star. He put it on the table tray bed and glanced at the television. He looked at the boy playing a song that reminds him of her when they were teenagers. Can't Help Falling in Love but the piano version.

The boy at the age of eighteen was playing the piano while singing the song wholeheartedly. His genre can be pop, RNB, and blues… he could match anything if he would focus on learning for more. He also looked too innocent.

"You want him?" he asked her. She nodded. "I'll do a background check on him to make sure that he'll meet your standard."

"He'll be the next shining start. His voice and his attitude in singing are perfect in my composition."

"Tomorrow. Worry about it tomorrow." He started feeding her with the soup he made.

"Why are you early, by the way?" She asked as he fed her again and she opened her mouth.

"Because I'm worried." She sat up straight.

"Alessandro, I want you to be true to me." She got serious and he put down the spoon and listened to her attentively. "Why did you buy me that night?" He didn't speak for a while and looked away.

He looked back into her eyes and told her directly.

"I save you from being molested by those people in the auction. I don't want anyone to have you but for me."

"Then why save my mom and give me the Golden Age?"

"It belongs to you." He reached her cheek. "You'll soon understand why I am doing this and why I take advantage of your situation to have you and not give you a chance to choose if you wanted to be with me and be my woman."

"Why me?"

He didn't speak for a while and wanted to tell her the truth but he couldn't. It will mess on her head. He wanted to tell her badly how much he loved her. How much he's aching to be with her for a long time.

"Because you are worth everything I work hard for." She still didn't fully understand why he would do such a thing. "Finish this so you could sleep."

"You didn't answer my question."

"I did." He fed her again.

After brushing his teeth, he watched her settled down, both fresh from the shower. He checked emails and a few documents while  she lay down on the bed and watched TV for the scoop of searching for the next rising star. He didn't take all of his time on his papers. He put it away and hugged her from the back to join her watching television.

"Lots of things keep bothering in my head."

"Let's not talk about it, okay?" he uttered as he traced light kisses on her neck getting annoyed whenever he thought about how she was bullied back then and on how he was separated from her. He simply doesn't want her to talk about it anymore. It pains him so much.

"I won't be—"

He pounced on her, ripped her clothes that made her gasped. She was about to complain but he shoved himself inside her without warning. It was very painful and she wasn't stimulated enough when he shoved himself. She saw how he became aggressive and cold. And the next things that happened are too erotic in everyone's eyes.

She just remembered that they didn't use any protection. But she's on safe days and five consecutive days would be safe before her menstruation. She had fallen asleep both from headache and from tiredness he gave to her.

He watched her sleeping while drinking a glass of whiskey while he's sitting on the sofa, only having the robe on his body. His eyes burned in anger as he replayed the footage that was given to him by one of his security guards, her ex-boyfriend had harassed her yesterday and she didn't even tell him. It was the second time. He finished his drink, went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. He went back to bed, turned off the lights, and watched her breathing, her lips a little apart and she's murmuring something.

Early in the morning, he went to his gym and started running on the treadmill. He's been running for thirty minutes listening to loud music from the speaker. He didn't even notice her coming and used the other treadmill.

Not until she started running. He glanced at her, slowing down from running, breathless. He reached his water and when his heartbeat was slowing down to normal, he drank a little.

"You fine now?" He asked though he knew that she's a little sore.

"Hmm." She answered and started jogging.

He continued doing push-ups and curls up and waited for her to finish. She wiped her sweat and reached for the bottle of water. She drank and a few drops fell on her chest. Her sports bra was wet and he gulped by watching it, her chest was glorious. He couldn't help but reach the towel and wipe it himself.

"You are in safe days, right?" she nodded and had predicted his next move.

He peeled off her yoga pants and panties then he knelt and kissed her pubic. She kept her balance with one foot when he raised her other thigh to his shoulder and she held on to his head.

"Aren't we going to get a little late?"

"No. I'll have my appetizer first." She flushed and let him do as he wished.
