Demitry's P.O.V.
"Are you sure that you will be okay alone there?" I asked her in a worried tone and she smiled while coming towards me on the bed. She was now walking on her knees and straddled me on the bed. She put her legs on both sides of my body and then sat down on my lap while wrapping her hands around my neck. "I will be alright and don't forget that I have spent my whole life there", she said after brushing her nose with mine. "I know that you have spent your whole life there but I also know that two of them have hurt you badly", I said while wrapping my hands around her slim waist. She was so perfect in my embrace and I didn't want to let her go there. She took a deep breath. "I know but I miss my mom so much. She is also there and I", she paused and lowered her eyes. I knew her pain. I pulled her closer to me and kissed her forehead. "I am going with you", I said, and she looked at me in confusion.
"You don't need to go with me, Dem. Dexter already have prepared everything there", she said and I shook my head. "I will not stay there for long, only a day or two. After ensuring your safety there, I will come back. I have to go to France for business purposes this Saturday", I told her in a calm but firm tone. "Don't you trust me?" she asked me in a serious tone this time. "Trust is very important in every relationship, Mariam and I trust you with all my heart but", I paused and she slumped down her shoulders. "I don't trust them. They can try to harm you again", I said in a gentle tone but I wanted her to understand my point here. "They can harm Mariam Lockhart, but they dare not touch Mrs Mariam Davenport", she said in a confident tone. I smiled and looked at her lovingly. I loved the way she took her name with my last name. It sounded so perfect.
"They dare to touch what's mine and they will pay by their lives", I said while pulling her closer. She laughed and then leaned down on me. I felt my heartbeat going wild when she put her whole weight of hers on me. I didn't know for how long I could keep my distance from her. When I drafted the agreement, I clearly indicated that we would not have any s****l relationship because I was not assured that I was fully healed or not. Her proximity always made me feel all those sensations, but they were not as intense at that time as they were now. I wanted to be with her in every way and it was now giving me blue balls so many times in the past. She looked in between my lips and my eyes and I licked my lips. "You are seducing me, Mr Davenport. Do you not know that this is a big crime?" she asked me in a raspy tone while moving her head towards my neck. I tilted my head to one side, giving her good access to my neck.
She started kissing me lightly on my neck which made me moan softly. She had an effect on my body and she was aware of this. "You know that.... that we can't", I paused and tightened my grip on her waist when she started sucking at the sweet spot on my neck. She would be the death of me. I could feel myself getting harder with every passing second. "I trust you, Dem. I know that you will not take advantage of me", she whispered seductively while moving her face from one side to another. She moved upwards towards my jaw and kissed all over the border of my face. "Let me take care of you, Dam. I will be away from you for I don't know how much time. I want something to keep me sane for that time period", she said while kissing me all over my face before crashing her lips on mine in a feverish kiss.
“You are playing with fire, princess”, I whispered in a raspy voice while breathing heavily when she started kissing my jawline. “What if I want to burn myself?” she asked me in a seductive tone while trailing her kisses towards my neck. I couldn’t explain how bad I wanted her now but couldn’t have her because after that I won’t be able to leave her in this life span. My world was dirtier than a sewage pipe and I didn’t want to drag her in this mess. She suddenly pulled my t-shirt over my head and threw it away in the room somewhere. I could see hunger, love and lust in her eyes for me. She started dragging her nails on my naked torso making me whimper in anticipation. I was enjoying the sweet torture that she was giving me by rubbing her clothed core on my hardness.
I moaned aloud when she suddenly slipped her hand inside my boxer. My grip on her waist tightened when she wrapped her tiny hand around my hardness. She was going to be the death of me. I started kissing her hungrily while she started her work on me. I couldn’t hold for longer and smashed my lips on hers in a hungry kiss while reaching my c****x. She slumped down on my chest and hid her face in the crook of my neck and I wrapped my hands tightly around her body. I put my chin on the top of her head and breathed heavily to calm myself down. She was breathing heavily too. “I love you, Dem”, she whispered after a while making me tighten my grip on her. I wanted to reply with the same passion but couldn’t and it was now driving me crazy. “Sleep now, princess…. We have a long day ahead tomorrow”, I whispered to her and slowly she slid her body beside me. I lay down with her and kept her in my embrace until I felt her breath going even.
I kissed her forehead and then tucked her inside the duvet securely. She stirred a little but didn’t wake up. I slowly get off the bed and went to the washroom. After having a quick shower, I wrapped a towel around my waist and looked at myself in the mirror over the washbasin. Sometime, I also felt disgusted while looking at my face. I wondered why I never saw disgust or fear in Mariam’s eyes ever. She always smiled widely while looking at me after waking up in the morning. I always tried to see some fear or shock in her eyes but never got to see. I didn’t know what was going to happen with us in the future but one thing that I was assured of now that I would go through the plastic surgery if we decide to stay together in the future. The chances were thin but I was determined to do this for Mariam now. For the time being, I would try to keep her away from my world and it would be the best for her.
I was worried about her and there is no way that I would let her go to her home alone. I already had instructed Dexter to make arrangements for me too. Mariam had planned to stay at her home with her mother and I could understand her feelings here. She was away from her home and mother for more than a year and it was enough to make her feel homesick. I came back to the bed again after wearing my pyjama and lay beside her. She was now snoring softly. Her lips were parted a little, making her look cute. I pulled her into my embrace again and then closed my eyes. I will really miss sleeping with her like this if she stays there at her home for more days. I couldn't stay there for a long time period because of my business and also due to family affairs. I pushed all the worries on the back of my mind and slept. We really have a long day tomorrow.
I took her hand and squeezed it gently when I saw how nervous she was after boarding the plane. She had already talked with her mother and told her about her arrival there with me, still she was completely nervous. “Everything will be okay. Don’t be so nervous”, I tried to comfort her in a gentle tone. She smiled nervously and looked out of the plane window. “I don’t know how will I react when I will see mom?” she whispered in a nervous tone. I smiled and wrapped my hand around her should. “You will be fine. She is your mother and I am sure that she is also desperate and anxious to see you. You are going there only for her”, I rubbed her arm gently while trying to comfort her. “I am not worried about mom. I am worried about my reaction when I will see Warrick and Valerie. You have to keep me under control”, she looked at me this time. I smiled and nodded. “Take a nap. I will wake you up when we reach”, I said to her and then put her head on my shoulder securely. She made her comfortable on my shoulder and closed her eyes.
I took a long breath and secured her in my embrace. I had already asked Dexter to tighten the security around her house without being noticed. Her mother was an independent woman and I didn’t know how she would react to some strangers around her even though they were for their safety. It was for her daughter’s safety still I needed to talk with her first. To be honest, I was nervous too. Mariam was excited to introduce me to her mother as her husband but I had my doubts. I didn’t know how I would react if she shows any kind of disgust by looking at my face. I thought that I was now immune to those gazes, but no….. I could say that it still affects me.
“You are thinking too much”, I came out of my stance when I heard Mariam’s sleepy voice. “And what is I thinking?” I asked her in a gentle tone. She sighed and then looked up at me with her sleepy eyes. “My mom never judged a person by their faces. I had already told her that I was severely injured and it was you who saved me. She is excited to meet the person who saved her daughter. She will welcome you with an open heart”, she tried to comfort me here. I passed a small smile to her and then kissed her forehead. “I trust you, princess. It’s just”, I paused and took a deep breath. I looked around and saw a few people glancing at me from time to time. “All I need is your trust, Dem. Everything will be okay and you will see this”, she said with a genuine smile on her lips making me smile with her.
“Now… let me sleep in your embrace. You will leave me after two days and then I don’t know when I will be able to sleep like this again”, she snuggled into my chest while wrapping her hand around my torso. I kissed the top of her head this time. “You need to stay safe there for me, okay? Warrick and Valerie are still not aware of your arrival there. They will approach you soon. Don’t let them manipulate you”, I said to her in a gentle tone and she hummed in response, indicating that she is sleepy again. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes too. Let’s see what the future brings for us there.
I called the person who was coming to the airport for picking us up. He told me that he was already outside the airport with the car. I smiled when Mariam took a long breath after coming out of the airport and looked around with a broad smile on her lips. It was her home and it was really a soothing feeling of coming back home. "I am back to home, Dem", she squealed while gripping my hand hard and I smiled too. The person met us outside and took our luggage after greeting us. Both I and Mariam hopped at the back of the car and Mariam told the driver about our destination. She was looking excited now and it made me feel relief too. The nervousness had left her mind and it was good for her. I warned her not to cry so much after meeting her mother and she promised me that she would keep this in mind, but I had doubts about this. After all, she was a woman with a soft heart.
