Chapter 36
-Annabella-
I dove beneath the water in the pool, but as I came up again, I noticed someone sitting by the edge of it, watching and smiling.I swam closer to him, coming to the edge and resting my arms on it, looking up at him and smiling.
“What’s up? Enjoying the sun?” I teased.
“Enjoying the sight of my wife,” he told me, making me chuckle.
It had been quite lately. No word from my family, and I was happy about that, but I sensed something was on Kace’s mind.
“Kace?” I called.
He sighed, looking rather exhausted. He leaned a little forward, resting his arms on his knees and looking at me with a sad expression.
“There is something I have been keeping from you because I have been trying to focus on our marriage instead of this visit. But we have been together for about a month now, and it is creeping closer,” he admitted.
“What is?” I asked.
“My grandfather…” he whispered.
“What?” I inquired, confused.
“My grandfather is planning to pay me a visit,” he explained to me.
“Oh…”
“He doesn’t know I married someone.”
“I see…” I murmured.
“Because he wants me to marry someone else,” he told me.
“I think I need to get out of the pool for this conversation,” I said.
“That might be a good idea.”
Kace watched me as I got out of the water and found a towel to wrap around myself. I walked over to him and found a lounge chair to sit on. He moved in front of me, still looking exhausted, so I couldn’t imagine he and his grandfather had a very good relationship.
“So?” I pressed.
“My grandfather is a very traditional man, and he is a man who doesn’t take no for an answer,” he admitted.
“Okay…”
“He has someone planned for me,” he explained. “Another woman whose family is close to mine, and if we get married, it ties the families together.”
“Wow, that is very traditional.”
“Yes, but I have no wish to marry this woman. I know what sort of person she is, and more importantly, it would mean I would have to move back to Russia,” he admitted.
“What?” I exclaimed. I had forgotten all about the fact that Kace’s family came from Russia. It was his parents who had moved here.
“Trust me, I have no desire to move back,” he assured me.
“But your family is there,” I reminded him.
“Yes, a family who did not care about me after my accident,” he said. “My grandfather never paid me a visit or even sent flowers. I’m a tool in his eyes.”
“A tool?”
“A useful tool, nothing more. There is a reason my parents moved away. My dad fell in love with my mother, and he hated it over there. He had no desire to stay, and so they moved here to the States. They had no interest in even staying in contact with him, but after they died, my grandfather came to see me a few times. I was raised by my mother’s parents, though, so I could stay here and finish my education, but every time he visited, he made it quite clear he had plans for my future, and it involved moving back home.”
“My God… That’s controlling!”
“I know,” he sighed. “But I'm not going to bow, and since I'm married to you now, he can’t do much, but I want to prepare you because he is a person who knows how to get what he wants.”
“How exactly does he do it? Get what he wants,” I asked, fearing Kace’s reply. He even seemed to grow a little scared, and Kace was never terrified of anything.
“Actually, I hoped to keep you two separated,” he confessed.
“Oh…”
“Anna, it’s not you,” he assured me. “Trust me, if my grandfather was a gentler person and not so awful, I would have loved for you to meet him, or if I still had my other grandparents, I would introduce you to them. But you know Cody, and Cody is one of the most important people in my life.”
I smiled, knowing that was true.“Okay, if you don’t want us to meet, I trust you.”
“Yeah?”
“You sound so surprised,” I chuckled.
“No, it’s just… I know it can be important for people to meet relatives, and I did meet your family,” he reminded me.
“Yes, and how did that go?” I teased, making him smile a little.
“Yeah, it might not have been a very good dinner.”
“Or party.”
“Or party,” he agreed, making me laugh a little.
Kace then placed his hands on the side of the chair, leaning toward me.
“Do you know how amazing you are?” he whispered huskily.
“I hope you will tell me.”
He chuckled a little, then pressed his lips against mine, pushing me back. We both ended up on the lounge chair, with him on top of me and in between my legs. He revealed me, unwrapping me from the towel and looking down at the white bikini I was wearing.
“You know, when this gets wet, it’s slightly see-through,” he purred.
“Then it’s good it’s just us here,” I whispered.
“Oh, is this for me?” he asked.
I smiled teasingly, and he leaned closer to me, kissing me. Then he untied the top part of the bikini and revealed my breasts. He kissed his way down my neck and chest until he found one of my breasts.
He latched onto it and sucked a little hard before moving his tongue over the nipple, sending shock waves of pleasure through me. Then he moved to the other, kissing it and licking the nipple too, before he moved lower. I knew where he was going, and I looked around, chuckling a little.
“You know you still have staff, right?” I inquired.
“You’re blocked from view,” he murmured before sliding down my body, untying the string on the sides, and revealing my pussy to him. “And I’m too impatient to move back to the bedroom.”
He dipped down and licked me, compelling me to let out a little scream. I bit down on my lip, trying not to make any sounds, but Kace was so skilled. I grasped his hair with one hand and the back of the chair with the other. I began shifting my hips a little, so close to release.
“Kace… Oh God…”
He sucked on my clit and it sent me off. I screamed, pressing my lips together to try to keep the sound in as I began grinding against him, drawing out the feeling. My back arched, and I pushed my head a little back, overwhelmed by the powerful feelings he brought out in me. It felt so good, and he didn’t stop after the first time.
No, he only allowed me a short break, then he went back to work, making me come again. When he finally relented, he kissed his way up my body until he found my lips. But he kept teasing one of my breasts with his hand, kneading it and stroking his thumb over the nipple.
“Kace…” I whispered against him.
“Did I show you how amazing you are?” he teased.
“Yes, fuck,” I panted, making him chuckle.
