CHAPTER 54

When that ‘quiet dinner’ was over, the small party started inside the house. Their parents went up with my daughter and the children of their other cousins. His cousins ​​just left us. Others came and I guess they were family members as well.

I sat down on the hammock inside their mansion. I just watched everyone as they chatted happily and the others had a drink. There is also music that is not very loud so I am very happy.

“Where’s Levi? Why are you here alone? ” Acel suddenly approached me while holding a glass of wine.

She's the one with the lawyer's boyfriend. I wonder why they haven’t been married yet. Their son is the same age as my daughter. I also just noticed that their son doesn't look like the two of them. His eyes are also blue! Is that really in their genes?

“He went with his daughter upstairs. I'm fine here,” I replied shyly.

She’s indeed beautiful. Her eyes speak a thousand words. I don’t know if I’m the only one who can see that but I notice the strange sadness in her eyes. There seems to be something missing. Mind your own business, Rae.

Their genes are not a joke because they are all spotless when it comes to appearance. Rich, beautiful, and handsome. I can't with them!

“I know what happened to you two or five years ago. We’re that close... super close that’s why,” she began and sat down on the chair next to the cradle.

I just looked at the glass of wine I was holding and repeatedly rotated it to make it taste better.

"That one is crazy about you. He was looking for you for how many years that he hasn’t done in his past relationships. I was wondering why... but now that I finally met you, I understand why,” she explained to me and she still winked and laughed so I laughed.

"Cheers?" She asked and raised her glass in front of me so I quickly agreed.

“You’re so stunning, Rae, so keep your head high. Don't be ashamed of us. You’re now a part of our family even though Levi looks exactly like your daughter,” she told me with a laugh so I just smirked.

I sipped my wine and looked at her again.

“Your son's eyes are also blue. Is that really in your genes?” I couldn't help but ask her.

I saw her momentary shock and quickly averted her eyes from me. She suddenly smiled sadly and finished what she was drinking.

"Her father has blue eyes, too. Inherited from him,” she replied which made me wonder because her boyfriend's eyes are not blue.

"How..." I whispered to myself.

It was too late before I realized what I said because her expression grew sadder as she looked at me.

“It’s a long story. Couldn’t it be one night to tell everything, so let’s meet again soon?” She asked and stood up.

I just nodded before she left. I was disappointed because of what I did. Stop it, Rae. You are shy to look at but you are very cynical.

To my great embarrassment, I left there and went outside the house. I went to the poolside where no one was. I can now feel the cold running through the root of my body so I hugged myself. I sat in the umbrella chair there and looked up at the sky. I smiled when I saw so many stars.

I was about to lean towards the chair when someone put something on my shoulder so I almost screamed in shock. When I turned that look, I saw Levi and his jacket over my shoulder.

"Why are you here? Don't you want to go inside?” he immediately asked me and sat down next to me.

I avoided looking at him because I felt like he had suddenly become too handsome in my eyes. He’s now wearing a white t-shirt that hugs his entire body and black shorts. I could clearly see the width of his chest and his biceps exploding because it was getting bigger. His hair is also disheveled and his eyes are bulging. Why does he look like this now? He’s pleasingly hot even though he’s simply wearing simple clothes. Did he mean it?

"I just want to get some air," I replied sparingly to him.

I just stared at the bottle of wine he put on the table and glass. He put whiskey in my wine glass as well as.

“It’s cold here. Let’s go inside,” he said softly to me as I just asked.

“Just go, Levi. I'm fine here,” I told him as I sipped on my whiskey.

I winced for a moment when I tasted it again.

“Why don’t you look at me?” He asked making me shiver.

I'm not sure what he's doing but I know he's teasing me again.

“I-I just don't want to. What do you care?”

“You’re trembling, huh?” He teased me which made me even more nervous.

Before I could answer, he suddenly pulled me upright and violently made me sit on top of him. I almost screamed when I felt his palm slide on my waist. I could also feel his hot breath on my neck so my system went even crazier.

"W-what are you doing?" I’m still fucking trembling so I bit my lower lip.

I heard him chuckle. I couldn't speak anymore because my voice was shaking because of what he was doing.

“M-maybe someone will see us, Lev. Stop it,” I tried to get my voice back.

“Let them see how crazy I am for you, Astraea. I don’t care,” he almost whispered to my ears so I tickled there.

I was holding his arm when I felt his small kisses on my neck and nape. Suddenly, I became conscious of my smell so I barely moved away from him.

"S-stop it," I uttered but he didn't let go.

“You’re still my Lumiere, right? I still love smelling you like this. I love every inch of you, don’t you know that?” He still spoke softly to me.

I can already feel the intense loss of my system and the softening of my knee. I’m starting to love what he was doing to me. I feel like I’ve been longing for that for a long time.

"That's why I looked for you everywhere. I've been looking for you for a long time, Rae. I thought you were gone forever. And now that you're here, I can't afford to lose you and our daughter anymore. I'm willing to do anything just to claim you back from me, Love. I go crazy when I don't see you,” he uttered while still kissing my neck.

I bit my lower lip when I felt something in my chest. It was like I wanted to cry suddenly because of everything that happened five years ago. The time I kept to myself how much I still miss him. How much I wanted to have a family again but I endured everything just to be strong. And now I’m here again... still weak. Still weak with every hold and kiss he gave me.

"I'm so sorry for everything, Rae. I didn’t mean to hurt you like that. I fucked up over and over again and still want you to be mine again. It's so selfish but I can't afford to lose you. You are all I need. You and our Asteria. Please, don’t leave me... again,” he continued as he cried now.

I could feel him leaning his head on my back and I could hear him crying quietly. His shoulder was shaking so I held it with his hands. I slowly faced him while still sitting on top of him.

I lifted his face and now, I can see his bloodshot eyes. I wiped away his tears and kissed him softly. He was stunned for a moment but quickly responded to my kiss.

"What would Jaxon think when he found out that you were crying like this for me while but you're so arrogant when it comes to him," I teased him for a moment as our lips parted.

He licked his lower lip and bite it which makes him look so sexy. I could feel his hands travel behind me and it went down my neck.

"I won't let you tell him," he uttered in his raspy voice and kissed me again.

I arched my arms around his neck while I was kissing him torridly. His touch and kiss make me tremble and sore. I can no longer feel the cold I felt before because of the extreme heat.

"Why do you always have something in your pocket?' I asked him when I felt something under my fold.

He chuckled and kissed me again.

"You know... I don't have pockets, Astraea..." he moaned which stopped me from kissing him.

My forehead furrowed for a moment and I wondered what I was sitting on. My eyes widened when I realized what it was.

I bit my lower lip and looked at him again.

"Ohh... is it?" I uttered as he laughed even more and continued to kiss me.

Our kiss is getting deeper and I feel like the two of us are already on fire. I even think of doing “it” here not until someone called him from afar.

"Levi?" Marichu called him.

I slowly looked at her, still not leaving Levi's lap.

"What the hell?" She hissed.

I smirked at her and continue kissing Levi in ​​front of her. I could even feel Levi's restraint of laughter.

He’s mine, Mari, so continue watching us making out.
