Then Comes Spring When Winter Ends - Chapter 101 This I Promise You
*mature content the first half of the chapter
Jade was glowing after the bath was done. Derek carried her gently onto the bed after he gently wipe both them dry. He treated her like the queen she is in his heart. He placed her head on his outstretched arm, he gaze deeply at the face of his beautiful wife. He leaned down and gave her a deep kiss, his hands fondled with her right breast. Twirling the hard nipple with his thumb and index finger. He knows she loves it when he plays with her nipple. His mouth left her lips and licked her sensitive earlobe, she squirmed in his embrace. He ignored her protest and continue to swallow her ear whole.
His hand travelled down to her already wet nether region. “Oh my, already so wet.” he chuckled against her ear.
“It gets so wet just by the thoughts of you doing your thing to me and my body. I just love it. Hurry!!” Jade rushed Derek.
Derek smiled at his impatient wife. He hands started to explore the folds down there, rubbing her sensitive spot down there over and over again. She arched her body upward urging him to enter, she gyrated her hips enticing him to enter. Instead his fingers entered her and she let out a loud moan as she felt the pleasure his fingers are giving her.
“Baby, darling, hubby, I want it, Now!” She commanded him as she could not take it anymore, she is so near her climax and she wants to feel him inside.
He positioned her on her fours and took her from the back, one of her favourite position and is safe during pregnancy. He thrust into her gently but Jade has her own ideas, she moved against him urging him to be less gentle. “You don’t need to be too gentle, our baby and my body is stronger than you think.” Jade said while panting and moaning. With her urging and encouragement he picked up the pace and thrust into her deeper and deeper. He then reposition her to take her from the side and finally they both exploded together in exhaustion. They slept soundly after he wipe them clean of their love making.
At April’s place.
Dr Sin left the place an hour ago after administering STD prophylaxis to April. Adam who was exhausted after today’s event was awaken by April’s screams. He took her in his arms but she started thrashing around demanding to be release. He loosened his hold to appease her. He heard her cried out, “Adam, Adam, I’m sorry. I’m so dirty. Sob sob sob.”
He could not describe the hurt he is feeling in his heart. He felt like million of knives stabbing deep into his heart. The pain was unbearable. He cried in heartache at April’s condition. “It is me that is useless. I fail to protect you and had made you suffer. Listen to me, you are not dirty. You are mine. Open your eyes, it’me, Adam.” He whispered into her ear.
April could feel his tears trickling down her face. She could hear his deep calming voice filled riddled with guilt in her ear. The darkness, the pain, the humiliation that she felt slowly faded, she opened her eyes and realised she is at home with him. She touched his tear stricken face. “Who dare make you cry?” she asked in a hoarse whisper.
“I am truly sorry darling. I made you suffer. I am useless and I failed to protect you. It is all my fault. I hope you won’t hate me and push me away. I can’t live my life without you. Not one second less. I would wait however long you need to pass the ordeal but don’t ever leave me, you are not allow to think about leaving me.” Adam said as he held her close to him.
She buried her face in his chest and sobbed her heart content out. He allowed her to cry because he knew she had kept it all inside during the whole ordeal.
” I was afraid, really afraid, you don’t want me anymore. I don’t blame you at all, I am no longer the same shallow April I used to be. I am a better woman because of you. I want to get better for you but I’m scared if I fail. Right now I feel violated. Can you wash away the filth I am feeling, I need to feel back the pure feeling of making love. If at any point I feel repulse please understand, can you help me with that? This is the only way I think I can truly heal.” April said in a very calm manner.
” Are you sure? Dr Sin mentioned your body are pretty battered right now…
“Shh.. I know I look hideous and disgusting right…
He shut her up with the gentlest kiss ever. She could feel his love in every stroke of his tongue.
” You are not allow to say that. No matter what, you are always beautiful here, in my heart. Even right now, despite all the bruises and swelling, I can appreciate your beauty. You are not disgusting, the ones that did this to you are the disgusting ones. Trust me.” Adam said fiercely.
He stroke her face gently and started kissing her again.” Let me know if you feel scared and can’t go on.” He said as their mouth parted. She responded to his kisses urgently. She is reminded of the joy and pleasure of love making. Adam was so gentle and treated her like a fragile piece of glass. He was afraid he might break her. After every loving action, he will stop and ask if he should continue. At the same time, his tears could not help but fall when he saw the extent of abuse she suffered at the hands of those two men. Even inside of her mouth, the buccal cavity was torn at a few places.
She wiped his tears gently and urge him to go on. Both of them needed to go through this, Jade had taught her this when Jade suffered similar traumatic experience in the hands of Derek. If Jade and Derek can pull through, they should be able to as well.
The whole process was painstaking for both of them but at the same time, each step they took, a part of the invisible wound in their heart was patched up piece by piece, step by step. Towards the end, they both cried out each other names with the promise of eternal love.
Adam cleaned April up tenderly, afraid to hurt any sore areas. He then gathered her in his arm while coaxing her to sleep. He patted her right hip gently as he sang.
“And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Til’ the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
I’ve loved you forever
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart
This is a battle we’ve won
And with this vow
Forever has now begun
Just close your eyes
each loving day
And know this feeling won’t go away
Til’ the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
Over and over I thought
When I hear you call
Without you in my life, baby
I just wouldn’t be living at all
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Ooh, I promise you”
April felt a wet kiss on her forehead just right before she entered slumber land.
