I fell asleep in just a few seconds.

The next thing I knew, I could feel something cold and damp pressing on my forehead. I woke up with a start, my eyes popping open. What greeted me was Robert’s caring gaze. His intense gray eyes were focused on me, studying my face, and I don’t know what else. What could he be thinking?

I felt my heartbeat quicken. “What are you doing?” I blurted out.

“Sorry,” he muttered. He didn’t answer my question but just stepped away and leaned over the crib to check on Beatrice. “I’m heading to the court now.”

“What’s the update?” I asked. He’d been feeding me more details about the case, and I was glad to know it was developing quickly and positively in our favor. So many other witnesses have come forward and submitted their official statements about Dom’s scamming ways. I was well aware that today was the expected date of the final judgment.

“I’ll let you know later how it turns out,” Robert said matter-of-factly.

Just like most of the time, he said things without emotion. It was only when he was interacting with Beatrice that he seemed to let down his guard.

I’ve been staying here for a month, and he never even tried to kiss me once. There was one time that we hugged after we sort of bonded over Riley’s baked cupcakes. But that was it.

That evening, I waited for him in the living room, planning to tell him that I intended to go back to my apartment in a few days. We could just arrange his visits with Beatrice, and perhaps some days when we could all spend time together.

Riley was sleeping over at his cousin’s house. On the other hand, Anna was on her day off and was visiting a relative.

Meanwhile, I had moved Beatrice’s crib into the living area so I could stay there and wait for Robert to arrive. Peering over the railings of the wooden crib, I saw that she was now sound asleep. I smiled, just watching her silently and thanking the heavens for this amazing blessing. I couldn’t believe I had once considered having her aborted. I wouldn’t have forgiven myself for that, so I was grateful that Robert had intervened then.

I sat on the sofa and almost fell asleep again. The physical exhaustion of being a new mom was taking a toll on me.

When I heard the door click, I stood up automatically. The door slowly opened. For some reason, I felt my heart begin to hammer.

When Robert entered the front door, I was surprised to find him holding a bottle of champagne and looking like he was floating on cloud nine. Suddenly, I remembered how he’d looked like that very first time I saw him.

He was still as gorgeous and intimidating. His well-built physique and mysterious aura drew me in and still affected me a lot. And even though I knew him a lot better now, he was still enigmatic to me. It was part of his charm, which is probably why I’m still hooked.

He hasn’t changed in his physical appearance, except that this time, he was more cautious of his words when speaking to me. He was friendlier and more gentle at times. And right this moment, he was grinning from ear to ear, which was so unlike him!

“Let me guess,” I said, my heart beating with excitement. “You won the case!”

He nodded with passion burning in his eyes. “Wewon the case, Atty. Brown! It’s finally over!”

With that, he suddenly took me in his arms and lifted me off the floor, twirling me around as we both laughed and cheered.

When he finally put me down, our laughter faded away, and our eyes locked with one another. His face had turned serious. I opened my mouth to speak, wanting to break the silence by asking him how the final moments in court had gone. But then he placed a finger on my lips, making me stop.

Before I knew it, our lips had pressed together, madly kissing with greater passion than ever. We stumbled onto the sofa, rapidly undressing each other. I fumbled with the buttons of his shirt and pants as he stripped me to my underwear.

It’s been so long. I was fired up with incredible sexual arousal. Everything else — all the worries and plans I had — faded away into oblivion. My mind and body were overwhelmed with the immense desire that I had been ignoring or covering up for a long time.

His tongue danced with mine, causing electric currents to shoot from one part of my body to the other, rousing my inner animal, and making me think of nothing else except feeling him inside me.

He sat down, placing me in between his legs as we kissed. Our hands explored each other’s bodies, caressing and stroking like there was no tomorrow. We were hot and frantic, our erotic longing uncontrollable.

I kissed his neck and then his chest, making him groan with anticipation and desire. I dropped down to my knees and licked his hardness, taking it inside my mouth and flicking it with my tongue.

Soon he lifted me on top of him, positioning me so that he could suck on my nipples just as I lowered myself on him.

I felt him sliding into me, growing inside of me, filling me completely. His hands glided across my skin, raising me and lowering me down every now and then. Our moans of pleasure echoed against the walls. I was escalating to my peak.

He waited for me to come, to burst with sensual bliss and carnal pleasure. My whole body quivered with the fierce sensations that spread throughout my limbs and filled every bit of me with electrified heat.

Then he was suddenly on top of me, penetrating me once again with more intensified fervor that made me scream with heightened erotic delight. My fingers dug into his skin. He placed my legs on top of his shoulders and shoved himself even deeper into me. My eyes rolled upward. I felt myself climaxing again.

Our bodies were united in a single, repeated movement that seemed to separate us from the real world. We were thrown into a realm where there was nothing to worry and think about except to pleasure each other and reach our sexual peaks. Over and over again.
