Chapter 20
“The day you don’t burn with love, many will die of cold.”
—Francois Mauriac
Devon
I saw in his eyes the happiness my answer provoked, and it made my heart beat frantically.
I could feel his joy; he was ecstatic, and I couldn’t feel happier.
I loved this man in an inexplicable way.
He was the unexpected opportunity to be happy, he was the one who had illuminated my life.
William loved me, cared for me, and didn’t judge me.
I wasn’t imagining a happy life anymore; I was living it.
“You make me the happiest man in the world,” he said, verbalizing what I could see in his face and his wonderful smile.
“That’s because I’m the happiest woman in the world,” I affirmed, so he would have no doubt that I felt the same way.
“Tomorrow we’ll start with the preparations and tell Aurora,” he proposed, with the joy of a child with a new toy, but that comment erased my smile.
Was he talking about preparations because he wanted a big wedding? I didn’t plan on going through that again. The happiness of this moment wasn’t about the magnitude and splendor of the celebration.
“Preparations?”
“I mean going to register at the Civil Registry, but I see that topic didn’t make you very happy. Don’t you want a big wedding?” he asked, looking at me as if he didn’t understand my fear.
“No. I just want to be with you, with Aurora, and with our loved ones. I’m not interested in having a big wedding, just celebrating our love with the people we love,” I clarified.
I noticed he was watching me with confusion, and I imagined he was trying to understand my refusal. I supposed he was convinced that I dreamed of a big wedding, but nothing could be further from the truth.
“Then that’s how it will be, and you can’t imagine how happy that makes me,” he affirmed, as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
“Me too, for a minute I thought you wanted a big wedding.”
“I just want to be with you and Aurora, the two women I love, nothing more.”
“Perfect, that’s how it will be,” I said, happy to be in agreement with him, and I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him.
“How shall we celebrate? Sex or champagne?” he invited, giving me a playful wink.
I wasn’t going to be timid. I looked at him and smiled, trying to show him with that smile what I desired.
“Sex,” I answered, and kissed him again.
“I couldn’t agree more with you, Dr. Dulcet.”
Our mouths sought each other out, it was a long, passionate, intense, desperate kiss.
I would never tire of his kisses, of his lips against mine.
We made magic. He made me rest my back on the mattress, but to my surprise, he turned me over and I ended up with my chest on the mattress and my backside completely exposed to his intense gaze.
His fingers traced my spine from my neck to the end of my back with a slow and delicious gentleness, while a growl emerged from his throat.
The skin he touched tingled, and my heart began to pump frantically.
His caresses stopped and lingered on my buttocks.
“Raise your hips, my love,” he asked, in wonder, but being so exposed made shyness take over me.
I suppose William noticed my hesitation because with great delicacy he took me by the hips and helped me rest my knees to be on all fours. His fingers explored my sex and, with urgency, he penetrated me from behind. We both let out a loud moan and, taking me by the hips, he began to thrust.
“God, my love, you’re amazing.”
“William, aaah,” I screamed, when the orgasm hit me hard and my body shattered, convulsing uncontrollably.
A second later William reached his climax, panting heavily and collapsing onto my back, trying not to fall with force. I could feel his heartbeat against my back, and I swear it was beating at the same rhythm as mine.
I don’t know how much time passed before he withdrew from my body and turned me to face each other. As soon as he had me in front of him, he kissed my lips with delicacy and infinite feeling.
“I love you, William,” I said, unable to repress my feelings.
“And I love you with all my heart.”
I smiled. I was convinced that one couldn’t be happier than I was at that moment.
William loved me and we were going to form a family with Aurora.
He pulled me to his body and wrapped me in his arms, skin to skin, heart to heart.
Both seeking refuge in each other’s arms, but at the same time offering me protection.
We slept embraced and embraced we woke up.
After I woke him with kisses, we got up and showered together.
Morning sex in the shower was very pleasurable.
Then we went to wake Aurora, both of us lying in her bed with her between us, and we woke her with caresses and kisses.
The little one opened her eyes, looked at one and then the other, and a beautiful smile settled on her angelic face.
Then, as if energy suddenly invaded her, she stood up on the bed and began to jump.
William wanted to talk to Aurora as soon as we finished breakfast. We went to the living room and sat on the couches, with the little one on her father’s lap.
“Aurora, Devon and I want to tell you something.”
“I want to play with Divon” she said, not paying attention to what her father was saying.
“You’ll be able to play with Devon whenever you want because she’s going to live with us,” he stated, while my heart stopped as I waited for her reaction, though I wasn’t sure if the little one understood what he meant.
“Yaaay! Divon is my mommy!” she exclaimed, abandoning her father to jump on me.
While it still moved me to hear her call me that, I was clear that I couldn’t overshadow the memory of her mother, so I insisted on what we had already discussed.
“Aurora, I’m not your mommy,” I said, gently stroking her soft hair. “Your mommy’s name was Cristina and, even though she’s not here anymore, she’ll always be your mommy. But it would be an honor for me to share my life with you and your daddy.”
“Yes, you are my mommy,” she asserted, with a bossy voice and posture that reminded me so much of her father, but which was very cute coming from her.
I looked at William seeking help, but he looked at me with what seemed like an amused expression.
“If you allow it and she wants to call you that, I don’t see any problem with it,” he remarked, very naturally.
That caught me off guard, but emotion overwhelmed me. They were everything to me.
“Mommy,” Aurora said, and I felt such a powerful emotion that I couldn’t stop tears from running down my cheeks. They were the best gift life could have given me.
“For me, there’s nothing more beautiful than being called that by you, and I promise that, no matter what happens, I’ll be by your side taking care of you and loving you always.
Thank you,” I said, and I looked at William because the gratitude was also for him for allowing his daughter to call and treat me this way.
He nodded and suddenly we found ourselves surrounded by his strong arms. Aurora was laughing and struggling to be released while I mixed tears of emotion with laughter of happiness.
“What do you think about going to the beach?” William suggested.
“Yiii,” Aurora shouted.
“Sounds great,” I replied, “but I need to go to my apartment because I didn’t bring any bikinis.”
“We can stop by your place and you can bring more clothes so you can stay with us,” he suggested, very naturally.
“Okay. Let’s pack a bag with a couple of changes of clothes for Aurora. It’s good to bring clothes to change her so she doesn’t stay in wet clothes.”
“Whatever you say, doctor,” he said, smiling.
“No. Divon is not my doctor, she’s my mommy,” Aurora stated, again with a furrowed brow and hands on her hips, which made both of us burst into laughter.
We arrived at the beach and, after setting up the umbrella and chairs, Aurora dragged me to the shore to collect seashells and colored stones.
I must confess that when I took off my dress, William’s gaze made my skin tingle all over.
That man was capable of drastically affecting me with just a look.
“You should only wear that bikini for me,” he whispered in my ear.
“Come on, mommy. I want to collect seashells,” Aurora ordered, tugging at my hand, but seeing that her father was still talking to me, she let go and went to sit on the sand a few meters from where we were, but where we could still see her very well.
“Can you handle having two bossy people as family?” he asked, smiling.
“One of them I’m going to tame.” And this time it was me who whispered in his ear.
William’s eyes darkened and his mouth transformed into a smile that warned me my threat was very well received.
“Do you really dare to tame this stallion?” he asked, pointing to himself, and I couldn’t help but laugh. “Well, let me tell you that I’m going to take you at your word, and I’m not going to make it easy for you,” he said, still looking at me in that way that made me wobble.
“I think I’m going to dare, actually, I’m sure I’m going to succeed,” I affirmed, trying to appear brave, though his gaze weakened me.
He stepped back a bit so his eyes could travel over my entire body.
“I’m looking forward to you getting started.
You’ll have to ride me, ‘Sweet,’ and I assure you that you’ll have to make several attempts because I won’t let myself be tamed so easily,” he remarked, coming closer so his lips brushed against mine, and added, “Seeing you in that bikini is driving me crazy and now I can’t stop thinking about the moment when you climb on top of me and transform into my beautiful . ”
“I’m going with Aurora,” I said, unable to keep looking at him because with those words and that voracity in his eyes I felt like I could have an orgasm.
He looked at me and smiled slyly.
“That bikini is incendiary. You shouldn’t play with fire if you can’t control it afterward. I won’t be responsible for my actions.”
