Let Me Love You Again
Chapter 114

Maya

I woke up with the sun hitting me and pinching my skin. I opened her eyes slowly and listlessly, noticing that the night before I had left a window open. I hadn’t noticed. I was so devastated after spending the day with a desperate Axel and grieving for his new teeth that they were starting to grow.

The first time he had cried continuously for three days, with a high fever and I and Nate had spent the nights looking after him and pampering him while he did not calm down.

This time he turned and turned, complaining about the pain, fortunately, he had no fever, but it had been torture to manage to put him to bed. We had been awake until three o’clock in the night after several camomiles had taken to sleep and the same I as soon as I had rested my head on the pillow.

The sun was so high, that I was sure it was lunchtime. The phone didn’t ring once, I frowned because Nate used to call me when I woke up.

I reached for the phone on the bedside table when I felt a weight on my abdomen. For a second I froze, in my mind went any kind of image, any kind of scenario of what might have happened tonight.

Then I figured it had to be Axel, he’ll wake up in the middle of the night and sleepover at my place. He’s been doing this a lot since Nate was gone. But the weight on my legs was bigger than Axel’s weight could have been.

I breathed a big sigh, arming myself with courage and raised my head, leaning on my elbows and pulling up my head as much as possible to see past my belly. My heart froze and I felt my breath cut into my throat.

One hand was resting on my belly, while Nate’s angelic, blissfully asleep face was resting on my thigh, very close to my belly, with the other arm he was clinging to me and I didn’t even know how he could sleep so blissfully uncomfortable.

BUT I DIDN’T CARE. I gave myself a pinch.

I felt tears rising in my eyes for joy. He was here. He was before me. My love had returned to me, to us.

I started sobbing without being able to stop, and Nate moved and stared out immediately. His beautiful blue eyes met my eyes and my whole body trembled and was filled with a wave of absolute calm, he was drawn to him.

“You’re back,” I said in a sob as he got on my knees and pulled me to himself, “You came back to me,” I repeated, my face sinking into his neck and crying, I surrounded his pelvis with my legs and held him tight to me.

“Don’t cry Mon amour, it hurts me to see you cry” his chest vibrated when he spoke and there was no more melodious sound that could reach my ears than Nate’s deep, sexy voice.

“I cry because I’m happy,” I said, sobbing and squeezing him so hard that I almost crushed him.

I put my fingers in his hair and pulled his head back to look him in the eyes, his blue eyes were shiny and I knew he was feeling the same emotions as me at that moment.

I approached him to k**s him, but he pulled back, his eyes darkened. Immediately I tensed, Nate had a guilty look.

“What have you done?” I said feeling my whole body stiff over his, I did to melt from his embrace but he pulled me back to him, wrapping me with both arms.

“Why do you think I did something?” he asked defensively.

“I know that look, and you got all defensive right away. What did you do?” I hissed this time.

“Nothing!” He said, shaking his head, “I swear it’s okay, but I feel guilty,” he said, putting his forehead on my chest to avoid looking at me.

“For what?” I asked, running my fingers through his hair.

“Because I did not want to send the wrong signals to a woman, an old friend, deceiving her even if it was absolutely not my intention. For the first time in my life, I didn’t want to give any signal of any kind, I didn’t care to give it, and in the end I did it anyway” he confided to me in a low tone.

“An old friend? What kind of friend?” I immediately asked.

“We used to meet when I went to Seattle with Dad, she was the daughter of Dad’s client.”

“To meet? Or, to be honest, to f**k?” I said, gritting my teeth.

“It’s a thing of the past,” he said, lifting her head and looking into my eyes, “We all have a past, I never recriminated yours, especially when you showed up from the bathroom of some messed-up club with some a*****e behind you,” he continued, raising an eyebrow.

“First of all it is not true, secondly thing I always imagined was you, in my thoughts, it was always you” I answered frankly.

“Even in mine. You know I got my first wank thinking about you? I was 15,” he said.

“Pervert! I was only twelve! How could you jerk off thinking about me”

“You’ve always been my erotic dream, Mrs Dare,” he said, kissing me on the neck, and I laughed, only to get serious.

“Don’t distract me, Mr Dare, what have you done”

Nate sighed, “I just wanted to recover a friendship, we had fun when we were together, apart from the s*x parentheses, we really had fun and I wanted to recover that, but she thought I don’t know what and tried” she admitted in a low tone.

He stiffened me and I looked for his eyes “Did she try how?” I asked with teeth clenched, I already knew that what he was going to tell me I wouldn’t like at all.

“She tried to k**s me,” he admitted after a sigh.

“What about you?” I felt my heart in my throat and anxiety taking over my body.

“I backed out, nothing happened I told you, but I still feel guilty because I gave her the wrong signals and I certainly made her suffer”.

I breathed a sigh of relief and forced him to look me in the eye, “It’s not your fault, love. She made the decision to delude herself, she knew you were married and you had a family, and you did nothing wrong. It’s her fault,” I said, running my fingers through his hair.

I didn’t like to blame women, I wasn’t that kind of person, but I knew, I knew Nate, and I knew he loved me more than anything in the world, and he wouldn’t risk Us for any reason. So I believed him, he was the only person in the world I trusted.

“Then why do I feel like s**t about you?” he said.

“Because you think you’ve done something wrong, but you haven’t. Listen, you haven’t done anything wrong, and I don’t care. You came back and that’s all I care about,” I said and then grabbed his face.

I didn’t give him time to react, and I pushed my lips against his and, taking him by surprise, I stuck my tongue in his mouth and immediately slammed it against his.

When I felt him again, I g*****d, feeling at peace with myself. Nate remained motionless for a moment then squeezed me in his arms and kissed me with enthusiasm, producing a low g***n that reverberated throughout his chest.

I moved the pelvis over him and immediately felt him get hard under me. Nate grabbed my h**s and began to make me move above him as he g*****d in my mouth, our lips that were not going to come off.

We kept kissing until we were out of breath and we fell off.

Nate looked me in the eye as I continued to rub my core against him, “I love you,” he said moaning.

“I love you too” I bent down to rub my lips against hers when the little girl decided to move.

We were so attached that Nate immediately noticed, and his look darted across my belly.

“It looks like someone wants attention,” he said cheerfully and then put his hand over his belly, “How long has she been moving?” he asked me without looking up as the little girl did somersaults at the touch of her father.

“You want the truth?” I asked softly.

“Always”

“A few days after you left” I admitted a little guilty “Maybe she decided to act when she no longer heard your voice” I continued shrugging.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I didn’t want to make you sadder,” I admitted.

“I don’t want you to keep things from me, okay?” he said, looking me in the eye.

I approached and rubbed my lips with his when a thud reached us and I already knew what it came from or better from whom. His illness was surely over and he was already on the warpath.

Nate froze and looked at the door when the thud hit again.

“He will give me a heart attack sooner or later, he does it even in the middle of the night” I complained before taking a deep breath “AXEL!” I shouted at the top of my lungs.

Immediately there was a noise and then his little steps as he ran to hide somewhere, laughing like the little plague he was.

Nate held back a laugh and laid me down on the bed before kissing me on the lips.

“Let him come to the room, I want to surprise him,” he said, getting up.

“That sounds easy,” I complained as I sat down.
