CHAPTER TWENTY ONE

Adrian's POV

"You know, I love these." I say with amusement as I run my hand along Damien's torso, going down to his abs and stopping there.

"Love what?" I look over to Damien only to see his eyes closed as I lay my cheek on his chest, hearing his heartbeat.

"Your body, it's not like those big, hulk-ish types. Actually, it looks like you don't spend much effort on working out. "I say with amusement as my hand skims its way along Damien's torso, across his nipples and finally reaching over to his cheek.

"Well, I could always work out 'til I look like Dwayne Johnson." He says with a smirk making me chuckle.

"What?" He opens his eyes and raises an eyebrow.

"I seriously don't think you'd look good with a Dwayne Johnson type of body." Yep. I mean it. If his body will be like Dwayne fucking Johnson, he'd look like a sausage. OH MY GOD, DID I JUST SAID SAUSAGE?!

"You'll still love me though." Damien says with a smirk like he was certain.

"I don't know. Will I?" I say teasingly, making him gape at me. I then laughed at how he looked. "I was kidding. Stop looking at me like that!" I gave his chest a soft slap making him throw his head back, laughing.

It's been a month since the 'How not to look like you didn't just have sex the night before' incident in the office. A lot of things happened, like Damien's mother being gaga over the wedding with my sister. Once I introduced Kat with Damien's mom, they've been BFF's ever since. Birds of the same feather fly together, right?

Damien is still Damien. Well not really because now he clears his morning schedule just to have morning sex and cuddling session with me which makes me clear my morning schedule also. NOT EVERYDAY! Like hello, I'd be a limping freak if that happens.

So here I am, laying on Damien's chest since we just finished making love. I can't imagine myself being on a honeymoon since I'm sure that once we arrive at the destination, he'll pounce on me. Who said I was complaining?

I was suddenly pulled out of my reverie when I heard two knocks on the door. I looked over to Damien only to see him asleep. Ugh.

"Sir? You have a guest." Adam's voice looms over the room and I looked over to Damien and he's still sleeping.

"Damien. Hubby, wake up!" I reached over his shoulder to shake him.

"Hmm. Wifey, let me sleep. I'll fuck you later." He moves and turns to the side.

THIS MAN IS SO FRUSTRATING SOMETIMES.

"I'm coming, Sam. Wait!" I tried my best to stand, but my legs were still wobbly. I groan in frustration before reaching over to the black robe near me. I quickly wore it and before leaving the room, I grabbed a pillow and threw it to Damien.

Once I left the room, I saw no one by the hallway. I took a few steps but I stopped on my tracks when I heard Sam's voice. I thought it was Adam who called?

"It won't work."

I just stayed silent. Where the fuck is that voice coming from?

"Just give it a chance. Give us a chance."

A gasp escapes me, making me quickly cover my mouth with my hand. I looked over to the guest room which had the door slightly open.

"I can't. This won't work. I love my job and I might lose it."

"No one will kn—"

"YOU BUNNIES!" I shout, making them quickly pull away from each other. Adam was on top of Sam on the bed like he was trying to rape him on a guest room.

"I CAUGHT YOU! OH MY GOD YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN YOUR FACES!" I was laughing so hard and they were looking so scared like they just did something bad.

Well, if they were fucking behind our backs. That's fine, right?

I finally stopped laughing and when I looked at their faces they were staring at me. Like, what the fuck?

"What? I just caught you skinny-dipping an—"

"WE WEREN'T SKINNY DIPPING!" They shout at the same time, making me laugh again.

"What's with all the shouting?" Damien suddenly appears on the doorway wearing nothing but pajamas, making all of us gasp in shock.

"NOTHING!" The three of us shout at the same time. I don't know what they were doing but I'm sure it was supposed to be a secret and if it was, it's not my place to spill the beans.

"Can all you shut up for a fucking second?" Damien groans in annoyance making me roll my eyes. He hates it when he gets woken up. He quickly makes his way to me and hugs me before burying his face on my neck.

"You left me. I don't like waking up alone." He grumbles before nuzzling his face. I sigh before looking over to Adam. "There was a guest. Who was it?"

"It was Mrs. Cross with Ms. Hale. They said they were here to talk about the wedding cake." Sam answers in reply and before I could talk Adam continues,

"We both thought you were asleep so they decided to go to the backyard to relax."

"I hate everything. I hate them. I hate the world." I heard him mumble in annoyance but he suddenly continued before I could say anything.

"I love you though." I felt a blush spread across my face as Damien said it.

"Shush. Let's just change and get this over with."I say to him softly and Damien sighs before nodding and leaving the room.

"I saw that." I say to the men behind me before smirking and leaving the room. Good thing, Damien was too sleepy to care and ask what was really going on.

When we were finished changing, Damien was still yawning and stretching when we both headed to the backyard. Damien was ahead of me as we walked through the glass sliding door towards the backyard. I looked at the skies and it was quite the warm afternoon.

You heard me. Afternoon. Damien and I had sex and all the fuss happened in the afternoon. Well, he's an in-the-moment kind of guy.

Damien's POV

I'm so fucking sleepy. Damn it.

I just want to stay on the bed with Adrian. Is that hard to wish for?

Adrian was behind me as we were walking by the pool. Where the fuck was my mother and Wifey's sister? I just hate it when they are so excited about the wedding. More excited than Adrian and me.

"BOO!"

I don't know where it came from, who he/she/it was, but it made me scream. I was flailing my hands around and I suddenly felt like I bumped into something but since my heart was fucking beating so hard I was gasping for air. When the feeling left me, I looked at the culprit and only saw my mom and future sister-in-law clutching their stomach and laughing so hard.

"Mo—"

"Mom, don't! Don't please! S—stop it!" My eyes widened in surprise when it wasn't my voice that came. I looked behind only to see Adrian flapping and moving on the pool as he was grabbing for air. The pool was 7 feet. It was not that deep like most pools.

"GET HIM OUT! PLEASE!" Clara was screaming and before I could blink I dived into the cool water of the pool to grab Adrian.

I reached him and used all of my strength to pull him by the side of the pool. Adam and Sam assisted and when Adrian reached hard ground, he was coughing and water kept coming out of his mouth.

"Wifey!" I quickly grabbed him when he was breathing fine and he was crying as he hugged me so tight. I don't know what the fuck happened. But I was scared as fuck.

Then I realized, my deepest fear is not about Vince anymore, but Adrian leaving me...forever.

What just happened?
