Secret Lover Big Commitment
Ace I planned this getaway because I plan on making my intentions clear to Nora and it may backfire, but I’m willing to take that risk. I hope she is too. I rented us a small cottage in the mountains, just a few hours’ drive from where we live. The views are amazing and it’s remote. “Have you seen the view from the bedroom?” Nora shouted from the master bedroom and instead of yelling my answer, I walked into the room and wrapped my arms around her. “I see it now.” I said as I kissed her neck. “You didn’t have to do this. I would have been fine staying in a hotel.” “I wanted to do this for you, for us. This is the first time we have stayed with each other for more than a night and I wanted this to be perfect.” “Everything is perfect when I’m with you, Ace.” Nora turned around and kissed me. We made our way to the bed and slowly undressed each other, and it was the first time I can honestly say I made love to someone. The way we moved was slow and erotic. I didn’t need t
Secret Lover Meeting the Parents
Ace “I can’t believe you proposed. You just ruined your fun.” Gavin was pissing me off with the negativity about marriage. Gavin has a sorted history with my sister, and he is taking it out on me. I didn’t know they were seeing each other until it was years after they broke up. The breakup was bad because neither one of them believes in happily ever after anymore.“What are you going to do when you get bored? You’ll be legally tied to someone, and it’s not as easy to leave.” “You need to shut up. If this is how you feel about relationships, I’m glad Lily left you. You’re so miserable that you want other people to be miserable with you. I love Nora and I want her to be mine for the rest of our lives. You need to grow up and find something that makes you happy. You don’t have to like my choices, but as my best friend you should want to support me.”I threw some bills on the table to pay for lunch before leaving Gavin at the table. He keeps stepping over the line with Nora and I
Secret Lover Things to Think About
Ace When my father asked me to have a drink with him, I thought it was to tell me privately how he didn’t approve of Nora, but it was the opposite. “I’m happy for you Ace. I like the fact that you found a nice girl to settle down with. It happened fast, but the way you look at her is the way I look at your mother. I still want you to be careful though, and I think it’s a good idea that both of you speak to a lawyer and consider a prenuptial agreement.” “I don’t plan on divorcing Nora.” “The prenuptial agreement will also protect Nora and any future children you have. It may be a good idea.” “I’ll talk to Nora about it, but I can’t promise we'll have one made. “Your mother and I have one.” “Really?” “Yes. As much as I love your mother, I wanted to make sure we were both taken care of if something happened to our marriage. The agreement gets updated every ten years to reflect the state of our living. I know they have a reputation of being created due to the lack of trust
Secret Lover Domestication
Nora Things I was afraid of before Ace: Being rejected. Rejection is hard, especially if you’re already in a relationship and they break up with you, it’s heartbreaking. It makes you second guess your worth, and your ability to be a likable person. Ace has slowly started erasing this fear from my mind. I trust him more and I can confidently say he isn’t going anywhere. To take a chance. I lived a cautious life, which is probably why I got involved with the wrong me, but Ace has helped. He has shown me that taking a Chance doesn’t mean you have to do something risky; it means you have to trust and be open-minded. Afraid to be me. I was afraid to be myself and ask for what I wanted, but with Ace, I don’t worry about it. If I want something he usually knows it, or he happily obliges me. Ace has been the perfect person for me, and as we talk about marriage and family, I find myself falling more in love with him. We’ve been engaged for a few months now and I think I’m finally r
Secret Lover The In-Laws Come to Stay
Ace It’s my turn to meet Nora’s parents and I’m nervous. Not only will I be meeting them, but they’ll also be staying with us, which means if they hate me, I will have to put up with their coldness, or rude remarks if they are those types of people. Nora wanted to greet them at the airport alone so I stayed home to make sure lunch would be prepared for them, and I wasn’t leaving anything to chance, I asked Luke to come over and make lunch for us. I don’t care if they think it’s over the top, I don’t want to serve them burnt food because I would burn it. “Everything is ready to be served, Ace.” “I appreciate you coming over and helping me.”“I hope all goes well,” Luke said before leaving. Luke was only gone for ten minutes before Nora pulled up with her parents. From what I gather her parents are the opposite of each other. Her father is laid back, but her mother is critical and controlling, which is the complete opposite of Nora. I briefly kissed Nora on the lips before
Secret Lover Stress
Nora My parents decided to stay a bit longer than we had agreed, I didn’t argue since they hardly make the trip to visit, but it was taking a toll on me. If I didn’t have my new position at work, I think I would be able to balance it better, but work has kept me busy. I’ve gained more control over marketing, and I supervise a larger team than before. I was sadly counting down the days until my parents left. My mother complained about being in the house with nothing to do while we were at work. I made her a list of things to see in the city, but she didn’t want to use public transportation. I don’t remember my mother complaining this much, maybe she kept it between her and dad but it’s getting hard to handle. “You have a surprise waiting for you on your desk,” Anna, our receptionist, sang as I walked by after one of my meetings ended. I didn’t have to step into my office to see the large bouquet of yellow and pink roses. I walked over to them with a smile on my face knowing the
Secret Lover Wedding Planning and Murphy’s Law
Nora I’ve never been so nervous shopping before, even when I first met Lily. I not only have to find a wedding dress, but I need to look at bridal party dresses. Alex is going to wear a suit that coordinates with Ace, Gavin, and their father. “Today we are going to kill two birds with one stone. We are going to be looking for a wedding dress and a bridesmaids dress for Lily, of course, Elizabeth you are more than welcome to look for a mother of the groom dress, and Ace doesn’t want either of you to pay a dime for it.” “What about you?” Elizabeth asked. “Ace and I have an agreement. I didn’t want him to pay for all of it so we agreed that I would cover half of my dress.” “I was about to call Ace and yell at him for including you.” I smiled at her and reassured her that this is what I wanted. “Which one of you pretty ladies is the bride?” Our dress consultant was an older female with curly blonde hair and too much foundation, but she seemed sweet, and I was just happy to have a c
Secret Lover Drunk Confessions
Ace I can’t believe the past few months have gone by so fast. In two weeks, Nora will become my wife, and surprisingly I’m not scared. What I am scared of is the bachelor party that Gavin has planned. I told him no strippers, that it was cliché and disrespectful to Nora and he promised he wouldn’t do that to me, but he found a loophole. He rented a party bus and hired waitresses that were barely dressed, and I felt uncomfortable around women for the first time in my adult life. I didn’t care about a bachelor party, but Gavin and Alex insisted that I have one, its traditional but I think they both wanted a reason to party. “Shouldn’t you be at home?” I asked Alex “Why?” “Your baby can come at any moment.” “I’m close enough that I can make it, why do you think I’m not drunk yet.” I shook my head. Alex still had a lot of growing up to do and I hope the baby makes him see that. “Would you like a drink?” One of the waitresses asked. “A beer will be fine.” If this happened before I
