Chapter 101 –
(Gabriella)
I watched as Jamie pressed the elevator button, his face set into a frown as I studied him carefully.
He was pretty quiet all the way here..only grumbling to himself a few times as he gripped my hand tightly and drove the car. Even with this bad moon he seemed to be in, he still drove carefully, earning a few honks along the way for driving the speed limit exactly. I know it's because of the babies..but he can at least go five over..
"W-why don't I d-draw you up a b-bath." I whispered, my palm sliding across his chest as he blinked his eyes down at me before furrowing his brow.
"Have I been that fucking clueless this whole time?" He suddenly blurted, making me blink in confusion.
"I mean..you knew didn't you? This is what you were expecting?" He asked me, making my head nod up and down softly.
"I-I'm s-s-sorry baby." I felt bad..was he upset that I didn't say anything? I didn't think it would be that much of a shock..maybe I should've given him a heads up so he wouldn't be blindsided. I didn't mean to keep anything from him.
"No..stop..you did nothing wrong princess..I should've guessed but honestly, this knocked me on my ass." Jamie sighed, his head lowering before resting on my shoulder as I wrapped my arms around his waist the best I could.
"T-tell me w-what you are th-thinking." I spoke calmly, my hands sliding up and down his back gently as he let me comfort him.
"I just don't understand..after all of these years..why now? Why would she take him back after he left her like that..after he betrayed her and put his job even before his family. All the arguments..all the tears..all the pain and sorrow that we she went through..what was the fucking point?" He breathed, making my heart ache as I knew my husband was hurting from this worse than I thought.
Also I have a feeling he wasn't just talking about what his mom went through with this..I knew he was talking about himself too.
"He wasn't always like this..how he is with you now. And I'm glad he is changing..but he really fucked us over baby..he treated us like possessions that he could keep and control..not caring about how we felt or what we wanted. My mom said he wasn't like that in the beginning. That she fell in love with him for his passion and impulsiveness.I never saw that a day in my life. Most of the time when I stayed with my father, a nanny would watch over me. And the few times I tried to connect with him, he would say I was too loud or that he didn't have time." Jamie went on to explain as I lifted my hand, running my fingers through his hair.
"I never admitted this to anyone..but I even fucking idolized the man..how he didn't give a shit about anything..or at least pretended not to. That's why I agreed to the contract marriage..because I wanted to make him proud..because I wanted to prove that I could be just like him." He choked out and I felt tears streaming down my face...his confession broke my heart as I kissed the top of his head, wishing I could've been there for him during that time.
"Truthfully..if it wasn't for Rylan and his family..I wouldn't have known how fucked up my situation was..don't get me wrong..my mom loved me and did her best..but I could see the sadness she had..how my father left her broken." Jamie wiped at his cheek, trying to hide his tears as I gripped the side of his head, trying to lift it up.
He eventually did for me, making our eyes lock as I looked at him with so much love and compassion..I truly hoped he could feel it.
"I-I am s-so sorry you w-went through that..b-but Jamie S-Sinclair..y-you are n-n-nothing like your f-father. The moment I m-met you..l f-felt more k-kindness and a-acceptance than I ever h-had in my l-life." I tried to get everything out smoothly, struggling with the bigger words as Jamie just stared at me intently. Listening to every word patiently.
"That's because the moment I met you changed everything..that day at the party..I had two choices..to follow in my father's footsteps..or to follow my heart..You are the reason why I have become this man standing before you." He breathed, making me whimper in response, his words reaching straight to my soul as I couldn't help but crash my lips to his..
"I love you..more than anything in this world.." He gasped, those sweet phrases tickling my tongue as I swallowed them greedily. He was the reason for who I have become too..without Jamie..I don't even know where I would be.
Jamie's touch turned fervent..those large palms sliding to my ass before lifting me up as I wrapped my legs around his waist.
The next thing I knew, I was lying on the bed naked. Jamie's cock was pounding inside of me while my fingers dug into his back as I cried out in pleasure.
"Fuck, you are everything." He groaned, his lips gliding across my throat as I felt my pussy clenching around him tightly.
I knew I was done for..but I tried to hold on..not wanting this moment to end just yet as I felt Jamie baring his soul to me.
This was the first time he truly opened up to me..showing me a side of him I had never seen before as I accepted it unconditionally.
Each thrust of his cock made me jolt back as he stared down at me intently, watching how I writhed beneath him. Jamie loved to watch..seeing his length sliding in and out of me..the way his eyes turned so possessive and dominating.
One final moan and I was done..shattering beneath him as he cried out not too long after. Grunting and moaning before he jerked and stilled above me..I felt his cum leaking down my thighs by the time he collapsed on top of me in a heap, making sure not to crush me or the babies. "Fuck..I will never get enough if you..I swear." He mumbled, kissing my bare shoulder and trailing his way up to my lips.
"Thank you.." He whispered, making me nod my head and sigh.
"A-Any t-time." I panted, making Jamie laugh.
"Not just for this..for understanding how I feel.." He explained.
I slowly turned my head, making it so we were now staring at eachother as I lifted my hand, brushing his damp brown hair off of his forehead.
"Of c-course..you a-always c-come first." I stated, meaning it from the bottom of my heart.
While I'm happy for his parents reconnecting..Jamie's feelings come before that.
"I'm sure I will accept it down the road, just right now I need time." He sighed while wrapping his arms around me tightly and rolling us over so we were now on our sides.
"Now..about that bath.." He added playfully, making me laugh as he kissed me roughly before jumping off the bed and heading to the bathroom.
I couldn't help but admire his toned butt before he disappeared around the corner. Dang..I really was one lucky girl.
Just as I went to get up..I heard my phone ringing, making me glance over at the side table curiously.
Maybe it was my dad wanting to check in? I hadn't heard from him since I sent him the ultrasound pictures.
I picked up the phone, answering it quickly, realizing it was Jolie.
"H-hey!" I greeted excitedly.
"He's here Gabriella! He just showed up at my work!" She hissed, her voice slightly muffled making it seem like she was hiding or something. "W-who?!" I hope it wasn't that Matteo guy..he seemed like a real jerk.
"Alder King..oh god..he is walking this way..what the hell do I do?!"
