Chapter 120
Nathaniel'S
POV
She raised her head to me, her red-rimmed eyes glancing down at my lips as she slowly pulled herself up to me. I had somehow gotten her back to one of my penthouses because I didn't want the kids to see their mother in such a broken state.
She began to take her clothes off one by one, and my throat bobbed. "Are you sure about this?" I asked, wanting to keep my conscience clear in case she woke up tomorrow and realized her mistakes. She slowly nodded, stepped out of the skirt, and touched my arm. Gosh, I have missed her. I missed her so much.
She leaned closer and let me capture her lips in a kiss. It started off slow and sensual but soon proceeded into ravenous. My hands snuck around her waist, and pulled her closer, smashing her tight to my chest. I wanted to feel her. Feel her skin. Be in her skin.
I angled my head properly in order to take her lips, and taste her. Every time I saw her in the past, all I wanted was to pull those lips into mine and kiss them like there was no second after.
And now, I had her all to myself. I let my hands roam over the curves of her body, etching them into my brain.
She moaned as I sucked her tongue, steadying my hands around her. We pulled apart, breathless as we stared into each other's eyes.
She wanted to say something but I shut her off with another kiss, this time, pushing her to the bed. I supported myself with my elbows as I kept my gaze locked with hers. The want in her eyes was my sole drive.
"You can touch me. Do me what you want, Nathaniel. Touch me like you have always fantasized. I want everything." She urged.
That was all I needed. Those words. I dived in one more time before I relished myself on her.
"Daddy!" Kyle called the moment we stepped into the pack house. I pulled him into a hug, the fear that I had felt a few hours back was forgotten.
"I missed you." Maurene held Kai to herself like she didn't want him to leave her sight anymore.
He apologized for leaving his siblings and she warned him not to do that anymore. I looked up to Grayson who seemed relieved to see them. And me. Well, that was unexpected.
"Daddy, lift me!" Kylie begged me. I chuckled, shaking my head. She was the clingy one of my kids.
Why not?
I lifted her into my arms as I approached Grayson. "Thank you, man." I patted his shoulders. We had agreed to the last-minute plan. I had not carried him along because of what happened but I was glad that he was willing to do as I said. I had been planning this for this long and all I wanted to do was take him down once and for all. Now, that everything is finally solved.
All I wanted to do was rest with Maurene and the kids.
"Hmm, Nathaniel. It remains one issue." Grayson said and this time, Maurene and I shared a glance.
I blinked. "What is that?"
"Amanda. We are yet to finish hers. Andreas already found out who James Cox is and you are right. It is Martins Taylor." He explained. "Oh, then-"
"Never!" Amanda's voice cut through as she marched toward us, her eyes widened as she gazed at us.
"Martins will never-"
"You must have met someone they call Maxwell. He is the one who helped him make the post go viral." Grayson cut her off.
Recognition set in her eyes as she heard the name. "How did you-"
She stumbled to the back, shaking her head in disbelief. "There is no way he would be James Cox. There is no way!" She yelled but Grayson extended a file over to her.
"You should see this yourself if I am lying." He said softly and she took it from him. She went through it, skimming the pages, and then glanced up at him. "But how?"
"His father." She didn't wait for him to say anything else because she walked out of the pack house.
I didn't care to go after her. This was her business now.
I went towards Maurene who smiled up at me. We hadn't really spoken yet but I knew we would speak soon. I cannot wait to confess the love I had for her. She was the spice my life needed.
"We should eat." She said quietly, walking to the dining room, but I caught the light crimson color on her cheeks. She was blushing.
Gosh, this was my dream!
I lifted Kai in my arms and took her to the dining room. Settling him beside me, I served my kids all, laughing out loudly when Kylie made a funny comment. I didn't know Maurene was sitting beside me until she placed her hand on my lap and I peered a look up at her.
I offered a light smile as we continued to talk.
"You should laugh, Grayson. You saved my kid." I told him through the mind link and he glanced at me, surprised.
He soon broke into a small smile as he engaged Kyle who was talking about some Legos. It appeared that that was Grayson's addiction as well. Well, uncle duties that is.
"Daddy, when will you and Mommy get married?" Kai asked all of a sudden and waves of silence blew through the room.
I avoided looking at Maurene but she laughed softly. "Very soon, son." She grinned at him and he nodded in agreement.
I trailed my gaze from her to Kai, feeling grateful that he had come to seek me at the pack house.
