Chapter 35
Merlyn’s POV
I wanted to prick myself if this was reality. The billionaire, the most wanted bachelor of the United States, the man of every girl’s dream just proposed to me – a simple ordinary middle class orphaned girl. I felt ecstatic. My lips went locked in happiness and I just lay staring at him with tears in my eyes. When his facial expressions were changing from happy to dejection, I understood I had not spoken anything to confirm his offer. Bringing myself back to the world, I was crying and at the same time laughing and I do not know how many times I said ‘Yes’ to him.

I was getting ready to go to the office when Sam called me. Sam is my aunt’s son. I had been pretty close to him since my childhood. Aunt Poppy is the only sister and sibling of my mother. Since the time she heard about my parents she was planning to meet me. But her husband’s business had some problems so her presence was required in their house. Sam completed his graduation a year ago as he is one year older to me and would be coming to visit me as it is my birthday. But I never thought he would surprise me by coming to my office directly.
When he was with me, Stephen’s face was worth seeing. He was fuming with jealousy once Sam hugged me. It was very difficult for me to curtail my laughter seeing his angered face. On the other hand Sam was clueless of everything. Thank God he didn’t come to know anything about us. Or this news would have spread among our whole family like a wildfire. And I am really not ready to share this news with anybody at this juncture when my whole family is in a vulnerable state. Once my uncle recovers from his surgery, I will tell my family everything.
I did not tell Stephen about my birthday. I was not in the mood to celebrate it. My previous birthday’s sweet memories would cross my mind and I would be more into tears which I do not want to do at least for the sake of my brother. Otherwise he would feel worse. Every year Mom on my birthday would bake a delicious cake with her magical hands. Dad used to shower me with gifts. Last year he bought me a guitar. Oh! By the way, I forgot to tell, I play guitar. I often play it also when I am sad. Playing guitar always relaxes me in situations when I am tensed. And my sweet little brother would save his pocket money all through the month and would buy me a gift. Last year he brought me a peach coloured dress which I like the most. But I never thought Stephen would surprise me this way. This has been indeed the most memorable birthday of my life.
Listening to my reply, he immediately slid the most beautiful diamond ring into my finger kissing it. He got up from his knees and kissed me passionately, holding me firmly. He bit my lower lip asking for an entry and when I parted my lips, his tongue slid into my mouth claiming it as his territory exploring every part of mine.
I felt as though I was in a different world. His hands slowly slipped from my cheeks to my neck. He lifted his lips from mine and started kissing my neck and planted butterfly kisses till the back of my ear.
I felt tingling sensations in my stomach – a feeling which I had never experienced earlier in my life. Nobody touched me this way. I began to make slow moans with every touch of his and he began to groan at my lustfulness. His hand came up to my shoulder and undid the zipper of my dress. He slid the attire off from my shoulder in a swift motion. Kissing me hungrily he cupped my left breast and began squeezing it. His other hand was on my waist caressing it and sending goosebumps all over my body.
When he was successful in undressing me completely, his eyes lustfully scrolled over my body from top to bottom. Then his hands slowly went to the plait of my hair and unclipped it. My long black hair fell loosely over my shoulders to my hips.
When he completed his sweet deed of undressing me, he came closer and whispered in my ear ‘beautiful’ with his hungry looks scrolling over my body. Swiftly in an action he unbuttoned his shirt leaving himself only in his pants. Looking at him I bit my lip unknowingly. He was undoubtedly a sex God, born to kill. He smirked at me realizing the effect he had on me.
I was standing half naked in front of him and my hair was loosely falling touching my hips. Suddenly, I realized my state and I felt shy. This was the third time I was standing in front of a man (my only) in an almost naked state except for my undies. I became conscious of myself and began to cover my breasts with my hands.
He smiled at me lovingly, and slowly reached my hands. Looking into my eyes he whispered ‘Angel, no need to feel shy in front of me. You are mine and I am yours in every respect.” He paused for a while and looked deeply ahead as though analyzing the words he spoke again ‘I wish you were my first” he spoke softly with regret. I quivered looking in his eyes, and he brought me closer to him and hugged me tight.
His heated body was coming into contact with mine. And my soft breasts were being pressed into his rocky chest. ‘So soft.” He murmured and pulled me out after a few minutes only up to arms length. Then slowly he began to undo the hooks of my bra making me sit on the soft bed beside us. Giving loving glances every now and then at me, he threw it on a couch nearby. He slowly traced his fingers on my exposed breast and looked into my eyes. In a rustled voice he spoke ‘my Flower”, and then ran his hands tenderly over his hair and then again looked into my eyes remorsefully ‘I had been with several women in my earlier life but never emotionally involved with any of them. I am clean. I can get you my medical certificate.” He paused for a moment ‘but from today forward I am only yours and you are officially taken as mine. All your problems, worries and joys are all mine and mine are yours. Are you ready for this my Flower?” He asked me expectantly. When I nodded, in a quick motion he squeezed my creamy breasts. ‘So alluring” he muttered under his breath and held them. He began to nibble the bud of my left breast and put it in his mouth and promptly played with the right one. ‘So tempting” he uttered again.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
That was the moment worth living. It was the day both of us will cherish till the day we are alive in this world.
I closed my eyes and began to savour every touch of his to my heart’s content. After he finished pleasuring my breasts, his hands began to roll down between my legs when his phone buzzed.
‘Hmm” he sounded irritated and continued with his sweet torture but the phone continued to ring. He cursed under his breath and got up from the bed to go to the balcony to speak. Within seconds his expressions changed from a loving and caring man to a devilish cold hearted businessman.
After a few minutes of hard talk with probably his office staff, he returned. I sighed and asked him about the problem dressing myself back. He pushed it away saying that it was a business call. But I understood it was more than it as he was not any more peaceful. He went again to the balcony lighted a cigarette and began to speak to someone again exposing his toned, muscled sexy back.
I hated the smell of cigarettes but it was too late for me to realize that he was a smoker. I felt suffocated in the room with the awful smell and stood up to get away from the room but I think he understood about my discomfort and immediately nipped the cigarette into the ashtray noticing my nauseating expressions while speaking on the phone.
After completing his job of speaking, he came inside the room moving close to me. I tried to shift back not looking into his eyes moving my fingers near my nose and he understood my inconvenience. Holding my hands he distanced himself and hushed softly ‘I will never smoke in front of you again. I understand, it causes you discomfort. I will quit it soon. Please give me some time.” With those words he left me moving to the bathroom.
After a few minutes he came out and walked closer to me grabbing my lips into a heart warming kiss. I felt his fresh minty breath intoxicating me and succumbed into him completely.
