One year later.Lorenzo's POVI'm scared of Celestine. Rather I'm scared of what she has become.It doesn't take much to tick her and make her go off. Last night, she started crying because she said I'm always hauling the covers all to myself. She didn't stop even after I gave up the whole thing to her.But this will all be over soon because her due date is two days from today. Then the baby inside of her will be out and Celestine will become my sweet little girl again. The one that doesn't snap at me because she says she hates the way my footsteps sound. They weren't even that loud!"Lorenzo, I'm sorry I snapped at you earlier," Celestine says from where she's nested under my hand as we watch the vampire diaries series."It's ok. You didn't mean to." I reach down and rub her stomach bump that peeks out of the shirt she wore. Despite Celestine's grumpy nature, I have to admit that pregnancy looks good on her, and seeing her waddle around the house with a baby bump has been the reason
Five years later.Lorenzo's POV"Daddy!" A tiny voice squeals and that's all the warning I get before I feel tiny hands grabbing at my trouser and tugging on them. "I missed you."I look down at my daughter's smile which is missing two front teeth, and pick her up, holding her on my hip. "Where is Mommy?" I ask, kissing her on her forehead."She's in the kitchen with Lucenzo," she answers, wrapping her arms around my neck and resting her head on my shoulder.I drop my car key into the bowl by the door and walk into the kitchen to see Celestine mixing a salad in a bowl. Lucenzo is seated on the countertop and dipping his hand into the bowl, stealing some of the vegetables and shoving them into his mouth. The whole scene gives off Deja Vu vibes. I'm reminded of the time that Celestine kept stealing carrots off the chopping board as I tried to make dinner."Daddy's home," my sweet little princess announces for me and two sets of blue eyes lift from the bowl and turn to face us.Lucenzo
Celestine's POV He is here. Lorenzo Ademaro. I'm frozen, paralyzed in my seat, and probably staring at him like some kind of imbecile. He is here? Why? How? When? So many questions run through my mind as I sit there, my heart beating against my chest so loudly, I swear everyone in the room can hear it.He directs those pale green eyes to me, and I see the same thoughts in my head pass through them. The same surprise. The same questions. Then it changes to heat. His eyes pierce through mine, and I'm helpless to stop the heat that rises to my cheek as they stay on me. The only thing I can think about now with those eyes fixed on me is the last week we spent together at his family beach house—the heat of his breath on my face that made me feel hotter, the feel of him being inside me, making me writhe and pant under him, unsure if I wanted him to stop from it being too much or if I never wanted him to move even an inch away from me, but all that was before. Before he left me the next
Celestine's POV Do not pass out. Do not puke. Do not pass out. Do not puke. It becomes a mantra as I chant this in my head over and over again. "I'm sorry if this seems unexpected," Cade mutters, looking between Lucenzo and me, not really sure what to say to make this situation any better. Honestly, nothing he says can cipher how I feel. I'm Hurt. Confused. Surprised. Angry. "and I know it's obviously a lot to take in." Obviously, I parrot in my head. I turn to look at Lorenzo whose mouth is agape with no words coming out. His lips remain parted for a few seconds then he blinks, his throat moving up and down as he swallows. "Is this why you divorced mom?" The harsh words bite out of him and pierce through his dad, whose expression takes on a look of hurt. "Is this why mom left us? Because of her?" He points angrily at my mom whose gaze remains on the table linens. "Lorenzo, I and your mom's relationship ended a long time ago." A tiny wrinkle line creases his forehead, probably a s
Lorenzo's POVFlashback."Is this going to be your first kiss?" I ask Celestine, lowering my head to meet hers. She keeps her gaze down to the floor and I grip her chin between my index and thumb, lifting her chin and forcing her to meet my eyes. "Answer me, Celestine."She nods.Fuck. No one has had their lips on hers.I decide to stop this now, while we are still at it and while we still haven't crossed any lines yet but then she asks, "Are you going to change that?" In that little prim proper voice and that's when I know that Celestine can make me do anything she wants as long as she requests for it in that voice, because what do I do next? I kiss her. Her soft lips move against mine, making me her very first kiss.Fucking awesome.We are full-on kissing now. Swirling the tip of my tongue against hers, I pull it into my mouth and massage her tongue with mine as I nibble on her full lips. She let out little whimpers into my mouth and I savor each sound.Jesus, she tastes so good and
Celestine's POV Cade's house, well mansion is more fitting, is seated on a large acreage of at least ten thousand square feet of space. It has two floors, a gym, an infinity pool, sitting plazas, walking tracks, and mini theaters where I spend all my free time at. It exudes a sense of grandeur with tall ceilings, large windows, and a beautiful facade. My mom and I have been here for two days and I have seen Lorenzo all of three times. Once during breakfast, where he had stormed up to his room after it and the other this morning, he had been making a cup of coffee and I had walked in, hair bedridden, matted to my face and mouth tasting like cotton. I had been headed for a glass of water. Lorenzo had seen me, scoffed condescendingly, and walked out of the kitchen with his cup of coffee in hand. The third time is now. And I can't stop staring. Through the crack in his door, I can see Lorenzo with a towel hanging loosely on his waist, dangerously close to slipping off, his chest dripp
Lorenzo's POV. I had been bluffing, so sure that there was no way Celestine would do anything, I had uttered the challenge and now I'm staring at my closed door with my mouth agape. The pulse in my cock is unrelenting, and it takes me back to the bathroom where I wrap a fist around my hard cock. My fist is moving fast over my cock, I brace one hand on the wall, so I don't facepalm the tiled floor when I come. Jesus, the pressure of her fingers on me. Fuck, the grip she had on my cock. I close my eyes in remembrance of that sweet moment. What is she doing right now? Does she have her fingers in her pussy? Is she naked? My traitorous mind paints a vision of Celestine underneath me, legs wrapped tight around me, taking my cock, her eyes shut in exquisite pleasure as I sink into her aching pussy. I shudder as my cock releases a load of pre-ejaculation, fuck... I could have come from just her hand on me. Another image filters into my brain. This one of Celestine on her knees, my cum
Celestine's POV I cook when I'm stressed out. Dealing with Lorenzo stresses me out, hence why I'm raiding the kitchen cabinets and looking for ingredients in the refrigerator. "What are you making?" Eve's voice comes through the speaker of my setup iPhone. I leaned it on a pepper and salt spice container. Eve and I have been friends since kindergarten. She had been the only one to share her snack with the new girl in class. We sort of hit off since then and have become inseparable, even choosing the same university and sharing an apartment off campus together. "I'm thinking pasta." Something simple and that won't take up much of my time. "So why are you cooking?" Eve was the person I ran to when Lorenzo and I first separated. She was the one who held my hair away from my face while I was bowed over the toilet seat, throwing up the contents of my stomach because I had drank too much. She was the one who joined me to print out photos of Lorenzo and then burn them while cursing his so
