My Little Sunshine - Chapter 296

“Are you sure you’re going to be fine here?” Adam spoke up as he fixed the woolen comforter which was covering her legs, making sure that they properly covered and her bare legs were not peaking out of anywhere.

After returning from the funeral, they had just settled in to have some rest when Adam had received a call from Blake. His presence was needed at the base. Though he didn’t want to leave Stella back here, taking her along with him would only make her tired and she was already feeling sleepy from their trip to the cemetery.

“I will be fine, you worrywart.” Stella rolled her eyes as she leaned her back against the headboard while keeping her gaze on her hen-pecked husband. “And I won’t skip my lunch.” She added with a smile.

“You better not.” Giving her one last glare, he leaned in to press a kiss against her forehead. “I will miss you.” He muttered against her forehead as he let his lips linger on her skin for a little longer.

“I will miss you too.” Stella spoke as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his face down before she pressed her lips against his. She slowly began to move her lips over his thin, cold ones.

He couldn’t help but respond to her advances and kiss her back with the same burning passion. A single from her was enough to make his soul burn with passion.

He had been craving to have his way with her little elf for so long now, to feel how her lips molded perfectly against his. But the fear of not being able to stop himself in time, always made him stop. He didn’t want to risk hurting her and their babies just because he couldn’t keep his desires in check.

It was the only reason he had been avoiding to kiss her on the lips. But here she was, being the naughty little elf which she was.

Tracing his fingers up her shoulders, he settled them on the nape of her and pulled her closer as he began to suck on her lips, alternating between the two. Only he knew how much he had been dying just to have a taste of her lips.

“Mmmm.”

A low moan resonated through the quietness of the room which only acted as an alarm clock for the beast in him. Going against every single ounce of desire he had in him, he parted his lips from hers.

“Someone’s being naughty, huh?” He gazed into her hazel orbs lovingly and flicked her forehead.

“I miss my boyfriend Adam.” Stella spoke up as she pursed her lips in a pout. “This husband version of him isn’t fun.” She continued while looking up at him with a complaining gaze.

“Because your dear husband cares more about you that he needs to put on a leash on the beast in him, even if that means hearing complaints from you for a couple of months.” He flicked her forehead only to get a ‘ouch’ in response. He knew it was just her being over dramatic as he had barely used any force in it.

“I will take my leave now, your Highness.” He tapped her nose and pressed a quick kiss against her lips before he took a couple of steps away from the king-sized bed. “I will be back soon, my love. Until then, you better take care of yourself.”

He turned around and began to head towards the door only to stop in his tracks. “I forgot one thing.” He muttered under his breath as he turned back to face her.

“What?” She gave him a questioning look when she saw him making his way back to her.

“I forgot one thing.” He repeated his words from earlier. Coming to a stop next to her, he went down his right knee. “I forgot to kiss our babies goodbye.” He continued before he raised her sweatshirt up a little and placed a lingering kiss on her slightly protruding belly. “Don’t trouble your mother too much while I am gone.” He mumbled against her protruding belly before retracting his lips.

Reaching her face, he cupped her cheeks with his right palm and looked up at her with a loving gaze. “I love your mother too much for her to go through any discomfort even if it’s you two little devils.” The corner of his lips turned up as he gave her a bright smile, showing off his pearly white teeth to her.

Hearing his words, Stella couldn’t help but shake her head helplessly. “Off you go now, Mister. We don’t want Blake to bust in here now, do we?” She reprimanded him as she clearly didn’t want him to get late. If Blake had asked him to come, then it must be something important.

“As you say, my love.” He chuckled a little before getting on his feet. Giving her one more kiss on the top of her head, he headed towards the door once again.

She continued to stare at his back until he was no longer in her line of sight. A yawn escaped her lips which she tried to suppress as she slipped into the covers. She needed to have a nap to wash over the day’s tiredness off her body before she could have her lunch.

Taylor’s death did take a toll on her. It was hard for her to believe that the man who had abducted her a day back, was dead. Not only that, he shot himself. It was hard for her to accept the fact. But she was more bothered by Carston’s state of mind.

Though he didn’t say it out loud, she could tell from his condition that Taylor meant a lot to him. Despite the fact that he wasn’t related to him by blood, the man had raised the boy all by himself. He was the only family he had known, and she knew it wouldn’t be easy for him to move on from this.
