“Thank you for today, I enjoyed spending time with you” I tell her pulling away from her warm embrace.
“You can come to me for anything Tesoro. If Ivan is being an ass, just call me over and I’ll happily smack some sense into him” she says smiling and I laugh before nodding. I bid her good bye before closing the car door behind me and walking up to the house. I knock on the door and wait until Ivan opens up. He opens the door a few moments later and immediately pulls me into the house.
“I missed you mi amour” he whispers into my ear making me gasp as his warm breath fanned against my skin.
“I missed you too” I whisper back taking the time to stay in his embrace. He pulls away to look me in the eye and goes to kiss me. I tilt my head to the side making his lips come in contact with my cheek. He looks at me confused and I smirk before pulling away from him completely.
“You’re punishment for earlier is that you can’t touch me for the next 24hrs and that includes cuddling as well” I explain to him deviously and run away before he can protest. He chases after me and I squeal before quickening my pace. I run into the piano room and hide behind the piano. I hear his footsteps come into the room and I try my best to calm down my breathing.
“I know you’re in here mia cara, I can hear your breathing” he says his voice getting closer and closer. I feel a pair of arms wrap themselves around my waist before he whispers in my ear that he caught me. I struggle against his grip trying to wiggle free but to no avail.
“That’s not fair you’re not taking your punishment seriously” I pout looking him in the eyes. He chuckles before setting me down but still holding onto my waist knowing I’d run if he let me go.
“Mia cara I can’t go 24hrs without touching you, it’s a wonder how I went 4hrs. Please I’ll take any other punishment you have in mind” he tells me, his voice becoming husky at the end. I blush at his suggestion before shaking my head.
“Fine then you have to cook me food whenever I want” I reply before sauntering out of the room with him hot on my trail.
“Don’t I already do that” he responds cheekily and I spin around before glaring.
“Listen asshole, it’s either you sleep on the couch tonight or you go into that kitchen right now and cook me food” I snap at him faking annoyance before cracking a smile at the end.
“Aye aye captain” he salutes me before rushing into the kitchen. I giggle before walking in behind him and hopping onto the counter.
“So what’re you making Chef Stone” I interrogate him watching while he pulled out ingredients.
“I was thinking maybe some butterfly chicken breast with a light salad and some sauteed mushrooms” he explains while cutting some lettuce and the mushrooms.
“Ok well while you do that, I’m gonna go put on The Notebook” I exclaim excitedly before jumping off the counter and towards the living room.
An hour later Ivan comes into the room with two plates to see me sobbing.
“Mia cara what’s the matter” Ivan asks me worriedly and I sniffle before turning from the screen.
“It’s so romantic how even though she left him, he still built her the house she wanted and waited for her while she fooled around with some other guy” I explain to him wiping away the remainder of my tears. Ivan laughs at me and I glare at him before taking the plates from his hand to set them on the coffee table. He comes back with a bottle of wine and pours us each a glass as we begin eating.
We talk about our days while we eat and I learn that Ivan fired an employee because they had been stealing money from his company. I told him about my day at the spa and he smiles at me while I told him.
“I’m tired as hell even though I haven’t been very productive today” I giggle while taking the plates towards the sink.
“I’m exhausted so I would’ve forced you to sleep so I could cuddle with you anyway” Ivan tells me and I laugh before following him up the stairs.
Walking into his room, I began taking off my clothes before walking into the closet. I grabbed one of Ivan’s shirts and slipped it on quickly not wanting a repeat of this morning. I put my hair up into a bun while walking out to see Ivan’s bare torso. I ignored his beautiful body and instead jumped onto the bed face first like a child.
“Was that really necessary mia cara” he asks with an amused expression and I look at him sheepishly before nodding.
“Doesn’t matter if it were necessary or not, it got me on the bed didn’t it” I snap playfully and he chuckles.
“I can think of various ways to get you on the bed love” he suggests sending me a wink.
“Shut up and come cuddle with me you brooding idiot” I say while snuggling into the comforter waiting for him. He chuckles before laying down beside me and pulling me into his chest. His warmth brings me a sense of safety and I fall into a blissful sleep to the sound of his heart beat.
I stirred awake when I couldn’t ignore the blazing light in my eyes. I open my eyes and turn my head to see Ivan sleeping soundly, his body completely cocooning mine. I took the time to study his features as he slept.
Ivan’s features were softer and he looked content with the slightest smile grazing his lips. His hair fell in a short mop around his face because it wasn’t slicked back. His expression made him look younger now that he didn’t have the constant smirk on his face that he usually had when he was awake. He was truly a sight to see even when he was unconscious with bed hair. It gave him a sense of innocence even though I still couldn’t shake the fact that he looked like a sex god even in his sleep.
“Haven’t you been told that staring is impolite love” he suddenly questions in a husky voice and I jolt in shock. He opens his eyes and looks at me with a knowing look making me hide my beet red face in his bare chest.
“I could say the same for you” I retort pathetically as he chuckles in amusement. I attempt to get out of his embrace but fail epically when I feel his grip around my waist tighten.
“Mind letting me go” I ask still trying to break away from his grasp.
“Not until you tell me why you were staring at me” he mutters into my hair and I refrain from head butting him.
“You looked adorable, cuddling up to me with a small smile on your face. It’s refreshing compared to your constant ‘I know I’m a sexy beast smirk’ you’re always sporting” I huff annoyed and I feel his chest rumble with laughter. I attempt to pull away and this time he lets me go allowing me to sit up.
“It’s nice to know you think I’m a sexy beast mia cara but I’m not adorable” he tells me with a grin sitting up as well so that we were facing each other.
“Of course you are, you’re like a huggable bear” I exclaim in mock excitement wanting to rile him up. In the blink of an eye, I’m pinned to the bed with Ivan hovering over me with a devious look.
“Now what was that about me being a huggable bear” he replies huskily while leaning into my neck to place feather like kisses. I bite my lip to suppress the moan itching to come out.
“Y-you’re a huggable bear with major hormonal issues” I bite back breathlessly making me sound like I was moaning.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
