Chapter 14

Ari’s homecoming

ARI'S POV

I couldn't stop giggling. The image of Marco flying off the room in haste adjusting his hair, top and shorts like a child caught stealing, cracked me up silly.

Though I really wish Ari had not chosen today of all days to come home. Why not tomorrow? I licked my lips, remembering how Marco had kissed me. He was all I imagined and more, worshipping my body with his eyes before driving me crazy with his touch. So why did he pretend all this while? We had two whole weeks to ourselves and could have had the time of our lives but instead he chose to act like he didn't want to have anything to do with me. Or maybe he simply wanted to be loyal to his wife. Who knows?

I didn't have the chance to feel too unhappy that we had been interrupted halfway and I did not get to ride Marco's dick because I now knew for sure that Marco wanted me as much as I wanted him. We would definitely continue this later.

Pulling my hoodie over my head, I walked downstairs to welcome my sweet mum. Believe it or not, I have missed her so much.

They were kissing, Marco's arm was draped around her waist and Ari's arms were around his neck and as I watched those soft lips that had sucked my nipples hungrily a few minutes ago, I felt a little pang of jealousy.

‘My baby girl!’ Ari broke her kiss with Marco the moment she saw me and threw me a big hug. She broke the hug, turned me around to examine me and pulled me into another hug. She must have had a good time at the conference because she looked fresh, relaxed and her face had picked up a healthy glow.

‘I missed you so much mum, I was asking dad when you were going to return and we both thought it would be tomorrow or the next day.’

‘I wanted to surprise you baby’ she said happily while I wondered what we would be saying to each other right now if the front door had not been locked and she had walked in on I and her darling husband, smooching in my room.

Her darling husband was avoiding my eyes again. Acting as though if he so much as looked at me, Ari would discover all we had done.

We walked to the dining room, chattering and laughing as Ari filled us in on all that had happened at Anderson's international conference.

Kate and Diane soon arrived and after squeezing Ari in tight hugs, wanted to hear all about New York even though Ari kept telling them that she didn't go around the city but was simply at the conference center.

‘Did you meet anyone new?’ Kate asked inquisitively and mom, probably startled at the abruptness of the question, hesitated for a few seconds before responding.

‘No, not at all,’ she said quickly.

‘But I thought Anderson international was a very big company,’ Kate whined. 'So throughout the course of the conference you didn't make any new friends?’

‘Oh! I didn't know that was what you meant, of course I met a lot of people from different branches of the company. In fact, after I won the prize for the idea pitch, everyone...’

‘What’s the idea pitch?’ Diane cut in and it was Marco who explained.

And so we talked on and on into the evening, stopping only to prepare and eat dinner. I stuffed myself full of fried chicken wings and sighed in happiness as we all gathered in the living room to watch a movie.

Later on as I fought for space in my bed between Kate and Diane, I wondered if I should tell them what had happened. I decided against it, not today at least. I drifted to sleep, imagining Marco pounding Ari with all his pent-up strength. Would Ari suspect that I would have been the one in her place if she had not decided to come back today?
