"Apa, Mas?!"
“Mas bercanda kan?” lanjutku, dengan suara yang mulai bergetar. Tapi begitu melihat rautnya yang kaku, tanpa senyum sedikit pun, air mataku langsung jatuh. Mengalir deras, tanpa bisa kucegah.
“Mas serius, Sayang,” ucapnya pelan.
Aku menatapnya tak percaya. Suara tawaku pecah, tapi getir.
Hatiku seperti dihujam ribuan pisau. Sakitnya gak bisa dijelasin.
“Sayang, tolong dengerin Mas dulu,” katanya cepat. “Cinta Mas ke kamu gak berubah, sumpah! Mas masih sayang banget sama kamu. Tapi Mas juga pengen punya anak, Sayang. Kamu tau kan, Ibu dan Bapak tiap hari nanya cucu. Jadi, tolonglah... izinkan Mas menikah lagi sama Dina. Mas janji akan adil ke kalian berdua.”
Aku terdiam sejenak, lalu tersenyum miring. “Adil?”
Mataku menatapnya lurus. “Jadi selama ini Mas juga berpikir, aku mandul?”
Mas Azam menunduk. “Bu... bukan gitu maksud Mas. Tapi... di keluarga Mas gak ada yang mandul, baik laki-laki atau perempuan. Jadi...”
Aku langsung memotong. “Jadi kamu yakin, aku yang mandul?”
Mas Azam langsung panik. “Loh loh, kok jadi ke dokter segala. Ya udah, iya, Mas minta maaf. Maksud Mas bukan nuduh kamu mandul. Cuma... sampai kapan Mas harus nunggu? Mas pengen banget punya anak, Sayang. Jadi... satu-satunya jalan ya ini. Mas terima aja tawaran Ibu buat nikah sama Dina.”
Dia menatapku, memohon. “Mas tahu kamu sakit hati. Tapi cobalah tenangkan diri. Mas tetap cinta kamu, meski nanti ada Dina.”
Aku tercekat. Dadaku sesak.
Aku mengunci diri di kamar tamu. Tubuhku gemetar hebat, air mata tumpah tanpa bisa kucegah.
Tujuh tahun.
Ternyata aku salah.
Ibu mertua memang tak pernah menyukaiku sejak awal. Ia ingin Mas Azam menikahi Dina, gadis manis putri sahabatnya. Tapi waktu itu, Mas Azam menolak. Ia bilang, cintanya cuma buatku. Ia bahkan menentang ibunya demi menikah denganku. Aku pikir perjuangan kami dulu akan berakhir bahagia.
Tapi sekarang?
Pertanyaan demi pertanyaan berkecamuk di kepalaku. Air mata belum juga kering sampai akhirnya aku terlelap karena lelah menangis.
Aku terbangun saat cahaya matahari menembus jendela, menampar wajahku lembut.
Kepalaku berat, mataku bengkak. Tapi aku memaksa bangun.
Aku melangkah ke dapur, berniat membuat sarapan. Tapi langkahku terhenti.
“Jangan lupa dimakan sarapannya ya, Sayang.
I love you. — Azam.”
Tanganku gemetar saat membacanya. Seketika mataku panas.
Air mataku jatuh lagi. Tapi perutku menolak diajak berdrama. Ia berbunyi minta diisi.
Ya, aku tetap makan.
Setelah selesai, aku beranjak ke kamar mandi. Air shower yang dingin mengguyur seluruh tubuhku.
Karena mungkin, satu-satunya cara untuk menyelamatkan diriku… adalah pergi.
Tate's POVIt's been two months. We took a month off after we came back from our honeymoon and I don't feel a single regret! We needed some time just to be us. To get used to each other and our new rolls.But now we are home, and we are celebrating something else. And while we will be doing some more celebrating later on, I'm happy to be part of this crowd.I don't know why the hell I'm feeling so nostalgic. But I'm suddenly stuck with the feeling of life changing faster than I thought. Even though I'm pretty damn sure the months it took before I married my wife had actually been altered by some wormhole event and stretched it out longer than normal.I look over at the new happy parents. Evelyn gave birth while we were on our honeymoon, which is fine. They can have that all to themselves. The bags under their eyes are a testament to how much sleep they are currently receiving with the little bundle of joy.From what I've heard, Luke has turned all his responsibilities over to Dr. Mill
I rip my mouth away from hers and devour one plump breast, still teasing the other nipple with my thumb and forefinger, tugging and pinching."Tate!" Fallon gasps, digging her fingers into the back of my head. "Please! I need you!"Impatient, I rip her panties from her body and tease her entrance. She's drenched for me. I dip my finger into her tightness and pump in and out, driving her to her edge. But it's not enough. This will never be enough.I can't stop myself as I fall to my knees and throw her leg over my shoulder and taste her. I dip my tongue inside her tasting her juices. I suck and nibble on her flesh, teasing her one lash at a time."Oh God! Tate!" she screams. "Don't stop! Please! I'm so close... Don't stop!" she screams, and fuck that's so damn hot!It doesn't take long for her to fall apart on my tongue. She creams my face and I lick every bit of it off her sweetness. I swear I'm starving for her!I stand up and kiss my wife with her essence still on my tongue. She moa
Tate's POVLast night I waited impatiently for the chance to get my Princess to myself. Of course, everyone knew what I had planned on doing. I'd talk to everyone beforehand, and half of them asked me what's taken so long. I'm sorry, but not all of us can be Ares Beck who fucks his woman, gets her pregnant and marries her just as quickly.Some of us try to wait for our princesses to be ready for something this permanent. Yes, she'd been wearing my ring for months, but she'd been so busy, I didn't want to pressure her anymore. And with the trial on top of everything, I just wanted to wait until things had calmed down a little bit.I have been waiting to make it official for months! I've had this in mind for a while now, but I wasn't planning on telling her. I wanted it to be a surprise. I deserve a pat on the back for my patience. But now, I can't wait another minute.I woke up this morning at 3 am and packed both our bags. I made sure to put in the sexy lingerie I got just for this...
And he kept his promise. That weekend he took me to a jewelry shop he knows and he let me pick out the ring, (sort of. I got the cut I wanted, but he picked the diamond!) and it was already my size. I walked out with a princess cut diamond, big enough to blind half of New York. I told him it didn't need to be this big, but then he told me, he wanted Victoria to be able to see it flashing all the way to her jail cell.Over the next few months, we went to court, and Tate had been by my side the entire time. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. My friends were all very supportive.It turns out the shooter was actually Victoria's brother, and he was in debt to the same loan shark as Donavan Vincent. They are both going to be put away for a long time.And I'm happy to note Victoria got 10 years in prison for her part in all of this. I hope I never hear her name again.I am also happy to note that I have not seen either of my parents since the day Tate had me move in with him. Not tha
I sit down and look at the stack of paperwork piled up at my desk. I've been letting it grow for the past few weeks, too busy with every other damn thing I've been worried about. But tonight, it seems like this is what I will spend my hours alone doing.Well, I guess this will have to suffice as my
Ares POVSam looks at me like a deer caught in the headlights. Her face has drained of all the heat from moments ago, and she looks... scared.Well, at least now I understand why she quit on me. But she should've told me! I could've done something.. Or at least told her I was there for her. I can't
Chelsea's POVTalk about mixed signals. I've never met a more confusing man in my life. And now I have no idea what to do about it. One minute he's pushing me away, and the next it's like he can't stop looking at me. And when he brushed up against me last night? I swear that was intentional."Hey,
Hunter's POVWhat the hell am I doing? I rock back in my chair and run a frustrated hand over my face. I should be out there supervising, and making sure Beck's pet project doesn't all go to hell.
