Chapter 47: Chapter 47

I mumbled a soft curse when I opened my eyes and felt my vision spinning. I tried to sit up straight but felt a large hand guiding me. My eyesight was a bit blurry, so I couldn’t see who it was clearly. I had to rub my eyes gently, and when I saw it was my husband sitting at the edge of the bed, I sighed in relief. I looked around the area and found that we here inside a room. The room was spacious, with white walls and large glass windows.

“Hey,” he said, fondling my cheeks carefully. I closed my eyes slightly, resting my cheeks on his palm.

“W-what happened?” my voice was hoarse, and luckily Ethan gave me a glass of water he grabbed from the side table. I thank him before taking a gulp. When my thirst was quenched, I gave the glass back to him.

“You passed out due to exhaustion. Next time, you need to calm down and don’t over-stress yourself. You fucking have no idea how I panicked earlier.” he sighed in relief, closing his eyes for a while.

I suddenly recalled what happened earlier. We were talking about our lives and the possibilities that may occur. I don’t want to entertain with my thoughts for now, when the surgeon announced Harry was in a stable condition. I breathed out a heavy sigh, smiling to myself.

“How is Harry?” I asked.

“Well, he’s awake now and getting better. The man’s tough, though. Got shot with two bullets and still kicking, not that I want him dead, though.” Ethan shook his head.

“Do you want to take a visit?” he offered, and I shook my head.

“I want to rest here for a while, and I will check him later.” I looked up, whispering.

“Besides, this place looks unfeasible to assail, though. It might need Allen to have some time to find this house. I feel like it has a lot of-”

“Security system.” Ethan finished what I was about to say, and I nodded.

“I know that’s why we need to rest and gain energy here. I don’t want to push your body. I saw what happened to you earlier, and I don’t want that to happen again.” he grumbled, looking down at my arms and legs.

“Look at yourself. Last time I check, you’re a little chubby.” he pinched my belly and wiggled it, making me frown.

“So, you prefer skinny girls now?” I averted my eyes to the other direction, suddenly lost in the mood to make eye contact with him. I crossed my arms against my chest and twisted my body to the other side when I heard him curse.

“The fuck you’re talking about? Of course not. You’re the only woman I will always set my eyes on. Stop thinking nonsense there.” he muttered in a low, ominous tone. I didn’t look at him, but then a thought occurred in my head.

“Remember the moment I told you I was going for two days? Along with Harry and Steve?”

“I don’t know who’s Steve-”

“Do you remember?” I cut him off, and I heard him sigh in defeat.

“Yeah, what about it?”

“Well…” I bit my bottom lip, unsure if I should say this or not. But then, I wanted to see his reaction. I slowly turned around and his naturally thick brows were corrugated into a straight line when our eyes locked. His lips were pursed, anticipating my following words.

“Well, we actually went to the beach and-”

Ethan gasps, and before I know it, he holds my shoulders, shaking them slightly. His eyes widened and it looked like he already had an idea of what I wanted to say to him.

“Don’t fucking tell me you were wearing a bikini?” he asked, and I was surprised he knew about that, given that he grew up in an Asylum and was there for almost two decades.

I didn’t say anything, but my silence answered his question. He groans, his breath vibrating on my skin. It became shallow, and the way he was staring at me shifted darkly.

“You’re serious?” he asked again, and I nodded.

“It’s a beach. I have to-”

“If only I was there, I would love to make love with you under the ocean.” the side of his lips curved up slightly, raising his brows a little. His words made my cheeks heat, and I could hear my heart doing a somersault. I bit my bottom lip, moving my legs away from his since I could feel the heat wave coming from his skin.

“But, if you are thinking I did something heinous behind your back, you’re wrong-”

I yelped in surprise when Ethan suddenly pushed me on the bed, making my back lay on the soft mattress. My eyes widen when he goes on top of me. His diabolic eyes were looking straight through my soul. I swallowed the lump in my throat, chewing my tongue to reduce the resurfacing tension.

“E-Ethan, what are you-”

“I miss you, my love.” he smiled, leaning his face closer. I panicked a little but then I remembered that we used to do this almost daily. Why am I panicking? Is it because I feel like it’s my first time again after being in coma for nearly a month? I don’t know what the actual reason is. However, the moment our lips touched, that’s when I felt all the demons in my stomach bellowing chaotically.

Ethan angled his head to the side, deepening the kiss. I whimpered but kissed him back. I just told him about the bikini, and look what it led us. I should probably not talk about my body that much but he started it after noticing my weight loss.

I was set back to reality when he nibbled on my lower lip, pulling then sucking them gently. He grabbed my hands and placed them above my head, pinning them down. I opened my eyes and saw him staring at me the whole time, watching me intently through his gazes.

“I want to see you in a bikini…” he frowned, “Did they saw you wearing it?” he suddenly asked, stopping himself for a minute from kissing me. Still, his other hand was placed above my breast.

“Ahm…” how will I say this that Steve was the one who bought that piece of clothing and then forced me to wear it?

“Hmm?” he arched his brow, waiting for my answer when I sighed in defeat.

“Yes,” I answered, and he suddenly pinched my breast tightly as if it was his stress ball and he needed to release his choler.

“Ouch, that hurts, you know?” I grumbled, but he didn’t pay much attention to it. Instead, he leaned his face closer against my two breasts, placing his nose in the valley of my chest.

“Then that means they saw these two beauties,” he whispered, and before I knew it, he grabbed both of my mountains, squeezing them like a ball. I closed my eyes, whimpering, then kicking my feet because the way he massaged them was sending me to another realm.

“E-Ethan…” I cried when he slid his hands inside my shirt. His fingers were now in contact with my cleavage, playing with them lightly. I could feel them getting hard. He tore off the bra blocking his way without breaking a sweat. My jaw drops, but I let out a moan of relief.

“I fucking miss you, Natasha….” he mumbled, then tore off my shirt. The wind blew on my skin, making the hairs on the back of my neck rose. My body trembled when his sinful hands traveled down to my waist, and I noticed his eyes were locked on my breast as if it was his first time seeing them.

“Remember the first time we did this?” he asked, and I don’t know why he suddenly brought this up. It wasn’t actually ideal sex. It was slightly terrifying to recall it but then seeing Ethan right now on top of me, looking engrossed through my eyes. He stroke my cheeks, which made me sigh in alleviation, sending chills down my spine.

“That was the time I was blown away by your beauty.” he suddenly confessed, and I could see he remembered our first time in his eyes.

“The first time I saw you in our school, telling me shits about you where my girlfriend and all. You have no idea how I stood there, staring as if I had seen an angel…” he leaned his face closer, placing a small yet gentle kiss on my nose.

“But I pushed the thought away since I know it’s impossible to be with someone like you. Especially when I found out you are my twin’s girlfriend, and everything related to him suffocates me.” his brows knitted into a straight line, and I had to stroke it.

“But then, you didn’t stop from pestering and chasing me. That time, I thought of killing you since you were out of my way. But then I planned to make things more entertaining. I made you my sex slave, controlled you…I know it was total bullshit, and I deserve to fucking die. This is my karma for using you during those moments.”

I yapped when he extracted all off my clothes until I was fully naked beneath him. His eyes gleamed with lust and affection when his vision trailed down what was between my thighs. He traces my clit with his thumb, making me arch my back and roll my eyes in ecstasy.

“Still, I want to say that I want to cherish this moment with you. I may not be your first, but I am not afraid to say that you are my first in everything, Natasha. Even after death, I will treasure you for the rest of my life.”

A tear escaped from my eyes while smiling, contented, and blessed to have him. This man doesn’t fail to delight me with his words. Unlike before, he can’t even say the word love. His character development improved, and I am proud of where he is now.

“I love you, Ethan….”
