CHAPTER 22


    With shaky hands, I dial Rocky''s number. I tiptoe to the door, trying to ensure that no one is


    eavesdropping. I lock the door and rush back to Luke''s chair. I call the number and wait for him to pick


    up. It takes forever, but he eventually picks up and as I hear his voice, my eyes close automatically and


    it''s as though I''ve be mute.


    "Hello?" He says on the other end. "Hello?"


    "I don''t know what your n is—


    "Natty, it''s you, my lo— I interject, "Stop it." I demand.


    I get up, "Don''t refer to me as that!" I bark. "I''m calling to warn you, Rocket." I call his full name, "Leave


    Lucas and I alone, please. Let me be at peace for once, I beg you."


    "No! No! No!" He yells back immediately. "You''re not saying that because you want it, you''re saying so


    because of your mother and that arse you call your husband. Come on, Natalie! You should be smarter


    than this. You are!"


    Sitting down again, "It''s nothing like that, I chose Lucas. I choose to be here."


    "You have been brainwashed, Natty, I know you love me. You''re just scared."


    "I beg you, Rocky, please, stop seeing Lucas and stoping to my home before things escte-


    before Lucas finds out you''ve been an inch close to me. Why are you being so stubborn?"


    "You love me, don''t you?" He asks. I go weak in my legs. I don''t respond. "Natalie, tell me you love


    me." He demands.


    "Unfortunately, you''re the only man I''ve ever loved this much and even now." I say, before hanging up.


    ***


    I run my right hand through my hair severally as I ponder on what to do next. I leave the study and


    head for the living room. I go to the bar and find a bottle of red wine, already open. I open the flute


    cab and take out a big flute. I fill it up and drink in one gulp. My eyes fall on the clock and it''s a few


    minutes after one. I wonder when Luke''sing home, so I decide to wait for him in the bedroom.


    I enter my bedroom to find it sparkling clean. I take off my shoes and clothes andy on the bed,


    naked. I hoped Rocky and Luke didn''t meet under any circumstance and most importantly, I hoped


    Rocky didn''t say anything stupid to Luke. I am tossed into the world of nothingness in a matter of


    seconds.


    ***


    My eyes flutter open as I feel pressure on my cheeks. My eyes meet with Luke''s.


    "When did you get back?" I ask.


    "About an hour. Watching you sleep really fascinated me but I couldn''t hold myself any longer." He


    says, cing wet kisses from my neck to the middle of my breasts.

    "So you watched me sleep?" I ask. At least, he was in a good mood so that meant my secret was still a


    secret.


    "Yes, my love, you drive me insane."


    "Did you meet with Caleb?" I ask, wrapping my hands around his neck and avoiding any form of eye


    contact. I was scared he would see the lies through my eyes.


    "Actually, he called and canceled but that''s not my concern." He ces a soft kiss on my navel, "You


    are."


    I help take off his jacket and spread my legs, ready to ept my husband''s pration.


    "Did you sleep naked waiting for me?" I nod as I avoid eye contact again. He kisses me, but I''m still


    and do not kiss back, but Luke doesn''t notice.


    He breaks the kiss to take off his pants and boxers. I close my eyes, a feeling of pleasure washing all


    over my body as soon as he enters me. I bite my lips in ecstasy.


    "I love how you look doing that." He says and I finally open my eyes, looking him straight in the eyes.


    My hands are wrapped around his back as he thrusts deeper and deeper. I arch my waist as the


    sensation begins to build up.


    "Wait," I say, and immediately, he stops. I get up off under him and push him to the bed. I hover over


    him and I pack my hair into a messy bun.


    "I want to try this. Slowly." I say as I take his manhood and ce it inside of me. I moan as it enters me.


    He was so long, thick, and wide that I felt full already. I ce both my hands in his as I begin to ride


    him. His eyes were shiny, shocked. I was shocked too.


    I begin to wine slowly as I lean in for a kiss. We kiss and as though something takes over me, I begin to


    ride him faster, violently even.


    "Maybe it''s the red wine." I say in a whisper, as I rpose myself. Luke sits down and my legs are


    spread across his as I hug him.


    He begins to suck my breasts, giving each breast proper attention before moving onto the next. "Ahhh,"


    I moan.


    "Your scent, your body, your lips, everything drives me crazy."


    Luke drops me on the bed gently and swiftly. He ces wet kisses all over my neck. Suddenly, I feel


    him inside me again. He was prating me from behind. My body weed him, excited by his


    touch. My husband knew my body too well and he knew the exact spots to touch.


    I moan continuously as his thrusts be sweeter, faster, deeper and intense. I feel his sweat


    dripping on me, but I don''t care.


    "Please, don''t stop, my love. Faster. . ." I whisper. He takes his left hand and begins to caress my


    stomach and above my entrance. "Ah!" I moan as I grab the sheets. I lick my lips as I take his hand and


    ce it over my left breast. My nipple bes extremely hard as he works his wonders on and in me.


    He removes his shaft and lies down beside me. I feel his manhood behind me. He ys with my hair


    and ces kisses behind my hair and my neck. We stay inforting silence for a long time.


    "Natalie?" Luke calls.


    "Yes?"


    "I love you." He reminds me.


    "How much?" I ask, trying my best to not turn to look at him.


    "So much. I never thought it was possible, in fact, I wouldn''t know how to act if anything happened to


    you, or us. I would be a mad man." His words sends shivers down my spine as I look at the


    wedding ring on my finger.


    He continues, "Promise you''ll never leave me, because I won''t."


    "Luke. . ." I turn to caress his face.


    "No, I need you to promise me. No matter what I do or say, you''ll forgive me and you won''t ever hate


    me."


    "Why are you saying all this?" I say as I drop my hair down.


    "That''s how much I love you. I can''t ever lose you. I love you too much."


    "I love you too, Rocky." I say, carried away, until I realize what I had just said. I quickly jump off the bed


    and turn to look at Luke.


    I nod my head continuously as I cover my mouth in horror. "No," is all I can whisper.


    "What did you just say?" Luke asks, a deadly look on his face.
