##Chapter 23

As I anxiously waited for Demetrius to show up, I couldn't stop more tears from welling up in my eyes. Most of the time I tried to hold back the tears to avoid being called a crybaby, but not at that moment.

I could even be being pathetic and what we had might not last that long, but I was afraid of losing him. It was very recent, but I already felt so intensely, it was the first time I felt that way.

Some time passed and I stayed there, enjoying looking at the stars in case Demetrius didn't show up. That's when I felt my body being hugged from behind and kisses being distributed across my neck, a good shiver ran through my body.

I knew very well who it was, the unique smell let me know. A smile automatically crept across my lips and I turned to look at him.

“Demetrius. I murmured his name and jumped into his lap, hugging him tight. - Hug me. — I asked .

"Hey beautiful, did something happen?" Are you crying? he asked, doing as I asked, hugging me tight.

"Yes, it happened... That woman..." My lips trembled and I couldn't hold back the tears.

- What woman? He released me to look into my eyes.

“Kristen. She's going to work here at home instead of Luísa and she told me to stay away from you.

- What? - sounded indignant - That ... Fuck. I'll go talk to her, she has to go, and I'll make her regret making you shed tears of sadness. - swore , angry

— When I arrived from our walk, she was already here, she told my father that she is his fiancée and that she is expecting his child and that it was even you who spoke to her about the vacancy.

- Cum. Now your father will think I'm engaged to that crazy girl! — he swore a few curse words and then held my face — Lívia my love, trust me, I haven't had anything with that woman for years. Now I only have eyes for you and I don't feel anything for her anymore. He hugged me again.

- I know. I believe in you. I could already see that she is not good and that she wants to harm you... I am afraid that she will succeed. What is she going to do with it? - I question.

“Beautiful, I beg you, don't let her ruin that beautiful smile you have, and don't even bring that shadow of sadness to your eyes. Kristen is not worth it, don't let her think she got you.

- All good. I'm not going to be sad because of her, but I was scared of losing you, I don't want that... I don't know, maybe you could still have feelings for her and I'm just... - his index finger silenced my words when he placed it on top of my lips.

- This will not happen. I'm with you and nobody is going to change that. Livia, what I feel is true, it's different from anything I've ever felt before.

My heart sped up, beating so hard it hurt.

“I feel the same way.

I stood on tiptoe and kissed him. I threaded my fingers into her silky strands of hair and deepened the kiss like there was no tomorrow.

The kiss intensified, he squeezed my throat gently and pulled my waist against his big body, I could feel a stiffness pressing my stomach. A husky moan came out of his throat mid-kiss and I smiled, enjoying it, wanting more.

Demetrius was slowly laying me on the floor without interrupting our kiss, then leaving my lips to kiss my neck softly making my skin crawl. I ached for him, my sensitive spot throbbed and my panties were damp with arousal, sensations I'd never imagined were taking over me at that moment.

I dug my nails into his back, scratching lightly, feeling like something in my body was going to explode with pleasure. A loud and unexpected groan escaped my lips which made Demetrius smile, he knew what he was giving me. I was fully aware that if I didn't stop him immediately, what came next was inevitable.

And I didn't want to stop, I wanted to go all the way, to give myself to him.

However, loud knocks coming from my bedroom door caught my attention, interrupting our beautiful moment.

- Cum. - Demetrius cursed - Who will it be at this hour? he snorted.

— I don't know ... But I better go look, it must be my father and it could be important for the way it's beating. I said worried and disappointed at the same time.

- It was so good. - he said smiling sideways and caressing my face.

— Yes... If I could I would stay like this for hours. I kissed him lightly on the lips.

“Me too, but you need to go see what's going on. See you tomorrow Beauty. — with one last kiss, we said goodbye.

I went down the stairs and ran to the door, grateful that I had locked it . I opened it and saw my father, apparently impatient.

- Father? Everything is fine? I asked immediately when I noticed the distress in her eyes.

- No daughter, it's not. Sorry to wake you up at this hour, but we need to talk seriously.

— Sure dad. Goes into. — I took her hand and closed the door, guided us to the bed and we sat down — Stay calm. Tell me, what happened?

"Do you remember when I went to pick you up and I attacked that bastard?" His voice filled with rage as he quoted the damn thing.

- I do remember. — a bad feeling began to consume me.

“Your bloody mother reported me for assault. She called me saying she was going to take this to court along with the kidnapping charges, that she was going to claim that I'm not your father and that I never came looking for you, that a violent man can't take care of anyone. She threatened to take you away from me. My dad punched the mattress angrily.

My mother was a bad and cold woman, she was capable of anything to make us unhappy. Not just judicially, but she could very well harm us in some other way.

My body froze, an even greater anguish took over me and tears slid down my cheeks.

— Legally, she can't keep me away from you, I'm already of age, maybe she doesn't even remember her own daughter's age and still thinks I'm a minor.

“I thought of that too, although with the assault charges she might get me arrested, since the bastard's a cop and that'll keep us apart.

— Dad... — I threw myself into his arms and hugged him, having his affection in return — Don't let that happen, please. I can testify in your favor, they will see that you didn't kidnap me and that Mariana lied about it and that she could very well have been lying about the aggression.

“Nothing is that simple, but I won't let her tear us apart, I promise.

“We're in this together. I said, holding her hand.

— I love you so much my daughter. You are the most beautiful thing that has ever happened in my life.

- I love you lots too. I hugged him tight.

My father stayed with me in the room until I fell asleep, but I noticed when he left, I felt the emptiness of his presence and the lack of his hands that were stroking my hair.

The next day I didn't wake up as happy and excited as before. I got ready as usual and went downstairs, to make matters worse I didn't find my father waiting for me to have breakfast with his huge smile as he always did, I felt sad, afraid that the scene would repeat itself for some time if Mariana got what she wanted.

I walked to the kitchen looking for Maria, however I found the person I least needed to see, Kristen.

"Do you know where Maria is?" I asked dryly.

"I don't know and I don't want to know!" I rolled my eyes and turned my back, walking out of the kitchen.

I was leaving through the doors of the house when I heard Maria's voice calling me.

— Livia?

"Hey..." I hugged her instantly as she approached. "Have you seen my dad?"

- I did not see him. Did something happen?

"It happened..." I mumbled, my eyes filling with tears, but I didn't shed any.

Maria hugged me and guided me to the sofa in the living room.

"Tell me, vent to me." He held my hands.

I told her everything, including what I went through in the years I lived with my mother and how I found out about my father and her plans to screw him.

- My God! — hugged me again — Your father is an incredible man, he'll be able to solve this and everything will be fine.

"I hope so, Mary..."

“Have faith, dear. — she kissed my forehead — Now I have to do my chores, but if you need anything, you'll come to me, okay?

- All good. Thank you very much. — I was n't hungry enough to eat anything, so I got up and went outside.

The day was beautiful and I could see Demétrio for a few moments, I was sure I got a little pale too when I saw Marcos passing by, I even thought he would come up to me to say something about our date or mention the kiss, maybe even invite me again . I was already ready to get up and run away from him claiming to be in a hurry to do something, however, he just nodded and walked right by.

I was relieved, even though I thought it was strange.

I spent a few minutes watching the landscape, the workers, some animals, birds singing. So harmonious, so full of peace, I didn't want to lose it, I didn't want to go back to that house, I couldn't even imagine what my mother and Leonel could do to me with the intention of taking revenge on my father.

Lost in these thoughts a tear rolled down my face. I lowered my head between my knees until I felt something fluffy and furry shaking next to me, I looked over and saw the puppy from day one. I cracked a smile when I saw him.

"Hey kid..." he started wagging his tail and ran towards me "You're doing much better, aren't you?" — I petted him, watching as he jumped into my lap, licking me.

I started playing with the cute puppy, until I looked at the barn and saw the open door, maybe Demetrius was there, my heart was racing just thinking about finding him. So, I took the puppy in my arms and started walking there, intending to surprise him.
