LUNA

Following Henrique through the gallery, and when we were far enough from the main area, he broke the silence.

"You said goodbye to Montesino as if he were your little dog."

I raised an eyebrow, not understanding the analogy.

"What do you mean by that?"

He laughed in a way that sounded almost mocking.

"I mean you patted his hair, said you'd be right back, and he nodded obediently, watching you walk away as if his owner was abandoning him out in the cold." His eyes gleamed with amusement. "It was a… curiously funny scene."

I remained silent for a few seconds, letting his words settle in my mind. That's not how I had seen it. To me, Ace didn't look like a man left behind; he looked like a man who lets you go and waits because he knows exactly where you'll return. But maybe Henrique’s view was more a reflection of his imagination than of reality.

"Hmm," I murmured, neutral.

Henrique stopped in front of a wall further away from the main wing, where a single painting occupied the cente

    ACEI never imagined that the sound of a child's laughter could become the soundtrack of my life.Sol was sitting on my lap, her brown curls bouncing as she insisted on "feeding" her teddy bear with a plastic fork. Beside me at the table, Luna cradled our youngest in her arms. Our little Estrela slept peacefully, oblivious to the noise of a family lunch.This was it now. My entire life was wrapped up in these three people. And I couldn't think of anything that would make me feel more complete.“Daddy…” Sol’s sweet little voice called me back to the present. “Toddy ate everything. Now he wants dessert.”“Is that so?” I asked, trying to keep a straight face regarding the toy's diet. “Then I’ll have to get a plate just for him, won’t I?”She nodded with such conviction that I couldn't hold back a laugh.“You’re going to spoil Toddy and our daughter rotten, Ace,” Luna teased, shooting me an amused look.“How can I say no to this little face? She takes after you,” I replied immediately.“O

    LUNAI never thought the happiest moment of my life would start with so much pain.The contractions came in waves, getting stronger and stronger, as if my whole body were preparing to explode. I was squeezing Ace’s hand so hard I was sure he was losing circulation, but he didn’t complain. He just stayed there, whispering words I could barely hear over my ragged breathing and my own panic.“You got this, my moon…” his voice was low, and I only caught a few words. “Breathe with me. Look at me. That’s it, princess… one more time…”I was holding back; I wanted to curse at him. I wanted to tell him there was nothing “calm” or “beautiful” about this, but the words got stuck in my throat as another contraction hit me like a lightning bolt. I let out a scream, my nails nearly tearing through the skin of his hand.“It’s only going to hurt a little longer,” the doctor assured me. “But I can already see her head, Luna. One more push and your daughter will be in your arms.”My daughter.My long-a

    ACEEIGHT MONTHS LATER...It’s been eight long months since we found out Sol was on the way. And me? I’d turned into a clingy, doting husband who never lets his wife out of his sight for more than five minutes.And that’s exactly how it should be. Because there is nothing in the world more important than Luna.She was lying on the living room couch, her legs stretched out over my thighs and her eyes closed, while I slowly massaged her swollen feet.“Ah…” she sighed, her head tipping back as she made an almost indecent sound whenever I pressed a specific spot. “My God, Ace… you were made for this.”I arched a brow and smiled, feeling satisfied with the compliment.“I think I’ve finally discovered my true talent.”“If I’d known you were this good with your hands, I would’ve taken advantage of it long before getting pregnant,” she retorted with a lazy smile, without opening her eyes.“Oh, please…” I leaned over her, whispering right in her ear. “You haven’t seen anything yet.”Luna chuck

    LUNATWO YEARS LATER.It was hard to believe so much time had passed since the day I walked down the aisle with Ace waiting for me. Two years of marriage, of ups and downs, of a life that felt like a dream I never wanted to wake up from.In those two years, a lot had changed. We bought a new, bigger house, with a porch that Ace made sure to renovate so I could have the garden I always wanted. My father retired at the end of last year and left the presidency of the company in my hands.Ace had changed too. He was still the same intense, sometimes arrogant, and extremely possessive man I knew, but now there was a calmness to him that hadn't existed before. Life with him was so full of love that, sometimes, I wondered if I deserved so much.There was only one thing we hadn't managed… until now.Or at least that's what I hoped as I walked through the house, my heart pounding unevenly and my hands trembling.The pregnancy test was on the bathroom counter, facedown. I could swear I heard th

  • Divorce didn't make me your ex   92 - Happiness

    LUNAOne week. That was all the time he'd gone without touching me. Just one week. Yet, as his hard cock pressed slowly inside me, my body reacted as if I hadn’t felt his touch in years.A wave of pleasure shot through my nerves, making me shiver. My legs trembled as if they might give out at any moment. My reflection vanished as my moan of satisfaction quickly fogged the glass in front of me. And when that mist finally cleared, a new, much more alluring image greeted me.Before, I might have been embarrassed by the image of myself in the reflection, but now, it turned me on. Watching the pleasure that washed over me, transforming me into someone I barely recognized. The hunger and desire in my eyes, the flush that crept down my cheeks and slowly spread down my body, the way my chest rose and fell with my panting breaths.Was this what he saw whenever he fucked me? If so, I could understand why he was so eager. Maybe it was vain of me to think that, but honestly? I didn't care. As if

    LUNA I walked over slowly, his eyes bright with expectation. However, to his dismay, I stopped just in front of him."Open your mouth."He obeyed without question. I stuck my fingers, still damp with my fluids, inside. He closed his eyes, letting out a hum of satisfaction as he sucked on them.My God, it felt so good I almost lost all my willpower right then and there. But I held back. I had bigger plans for tonight. I pulled my fingers out and gripped his chin, tilting his face up to look at me."There. A little treat to hold you over. Now, be a good boy and wait patiently for me. Okay? I'll let you have your fun in a little bit," I promised.He was already more than past his limit by this point. His sexual frustration was being held back by a thread, however thin. Still, he nodded his head as his eyes begged for release.I smiled and leaned in, brushing my lips against his."Good boy."I pulled away from him so suddenly he almost lost his balance. I could feel his eyes glued to my
