Chapter 55: Chapter 55
Cassandra's POV
The days spent at mom and dad's house were very happy moments indeed for us. We walked hand in hand along the beach discussing the last time we were here. Julian had gifted me a car before we arrived here and I loved it immensely. It was my first and only car. I never had the money to ever buy a car for myself. I gave him a personalized bracelet with the message 'Cassie Loves You' engraved on it. He was bowled over by the gift. After an evening of celebration, Julian whisked me away towards our bedroom. I had already fed and tucked Meryl in her cot in the nursery with Nora to look after her. Max and Arielle were also sleeping there as well.
"Finally, let's pretend that it's our wedding night,' he said with excitement dancing in his eyes. I chuckled.
"Why do we have to pretend? It's our wedding anniversary night," I pointed out with a chuckle.
"So we need to make love," stated Julian. I rolled my eyes at his desperation. I knew everything would come around to making love.
"I didn't deny you," I said to him. He hadn't touched me since my delivery through a caesarian section. I was touched that he could restrain himself ever since Meryl was born. He gave me a look of confusion.
"But aren't you hurt? Aren't you in pain after your operation?" he asked looking perplexed.
"I have healed up, baby. We can make love, it won't hurt me at all," I told him making his eyes twinkle with excitement.
"Why didn't you tell me that? I'm so glad that I asked else we would have been wasting time for another year maybe," he said melodramatically, his eyes twinkling with excitement.
I chuckled but he just picked me up and carried me to the bed making me squeal with delight.
"Julian, lock the door. This is your parents' house. Someone will come in,' I pointed out. Julian smacked his head, having forgotten to close the door in his haste. He locked the door and came back to the bed.
"I'll be gentle, Cassie. Don't worry," he assured me and I smiled. I knew he was very caring and I had no worries at all. I wanted him to make love to me. It had been so long since we did anyway.
He slowly stripped off his clothes, his eyes never leaving mine. Even though we had made love so many times, my heart raced with excitement even thinking of what we were about to do. He came up to kiss me passionately, the hunger, the intensity making me start a dull throbbing deep down inside me. His deft fingers took off my clothes as well, leaving me exposed to his hungry eyes.
He gasped with desire seeing my body look curvier than before, my brea*ts look more rounded than before.
"You look exquisitely beautiful, Cassie. More than ever before," he said, his mouth working downwards, sucking my neck, marking me. Desire pooled in the pit of my stomach and I moaned craving his touch. His fingers trailed to my breasts and he stroked them gently, taking care not to hurt me. His tongue trailed over them but he didn't suck them since Meryl needed her food. His mouth sought my wet folds and I arched my body to give him more access. He parted my legs more and devoured me like I was his meal of the day! His fingers worked their magic upon me, thrusting in and out of me and I soon found my release. I sagged back on the pillow, my breathing erratic, completely sated.
"Did you enjoy that? Did it hurt?" he asked with concern. I shook my head, too sated to speak.
"Then please me, Cassie. I'm dying for your touch," he whispered, his eyes glinting with more carnal pleasures yet to come.
I gave him equal pleasure, stroking him just the way he liked it, making him groan with pleasure. He flipped me over and positioned himself over me. I was throbbing and wet waiting for him to fulfill me, to complete me. He thrust himself inside me in one go and the next few minutes were utter bliss. We were in heaven as he made love again and again. I moaned his name. He grunted as he thrust inside me, making us climax together. It was the best experience in a long time. We lay in each other's arms to catch our breaths.
"It felt so good, Cassie. I missed you so much," he said, as he stroked the hair away from my face.
"I missed you too, Julian," I told him.
"Now our family is complete. I don't want any more children. Two are fine. I want your body to heal up. You have to find a teaching job like you always dreamed about. I want you to chase your dreams," said Julian. I was touched by his concern. He meant the world to me and so did I to him.
"Thank you for just being there in my life, Julian," I said to him, wrapping my arm around his torso.
"No, thank you for being mine, for believing in my love for you," he said. I knew what he meant. His was truly love at first sight, something that is hard to believe. It usually happened in movies and romance books but the truth was it happened to me. Ours was a rollercoaster love story, the one movies were made of!
"I love you, baby," I whispered, gazing into his beautiful eyes that held a million promises and dreams. I knew he would fulfil all of them. I trusted him with my life! He was my life!
"I love you, more,' he whispered back. There wasn't a doubt in my mind that it was true. If he hadn't been so much in love with me, we would never have realized what a truly beautiful bond we shared.
I smiled as an overwhelming feeling of completeness engulfed me. We were each others for life. I couldn't imagine how my life would be without him. I'm glad that I found him, that I believed in him, in his love for me.
Thank God that he didn't give up on me.
Thank God that he pursued me.
Thank God that he made me fall in love with him.
Thank God that he married me.
It's true that true love exists, if you are destined to be together, you will be together because true love pursues you, wins you, and binds you together.
