Chapter 243: Not Moving

"Are you not going to move?" Demetri asked with a smile.

Nora continued to keep her eyes closed and her head on her arms, smiling as she shook her head against his back.

"I’m never going to move. I think I’ve turned into a rock who cannot move, just lie here..."

Demetri smiled as he turned his head, trying to see her face as she lay on stretched out on his back.

Her fingers pinched his bare shoulder as she complained with a groan," Stop laughing at me."

Demetri protested mockingly," Hey? When did I laugh."

"Don’t lie. I can feel your shoulders shaking under me."

"That’s because I can feel two soft things digging into my back."

Another smacking sound echoed in the silent room, as she hit his arm," Get your mind out of the gutter, husband!"

"Let me tell you that is not where it is. My mind is solely focused on the softness against my back..."

With a moan, she rolled off his back, only for his arm to immediately snake out and pull her into him for a snuggle. Shifting comfortably, she settled in his arms, " I am always amazed how you can talk so dirty. You look like such an upstanding man..."

Demetri grinned and threw a leg over her, letting her feel something standing up, as he grinned," Hey! I am upstanding. Can’t you feel it? Do you want me to show you?"

Nora giggled at that and shook her head," No no no! You are too much! I am already tired."

With a sigh, Demetri snuggled her closer," That’s alright. We have all the time in the world. I am never letting you go now."

Nora looked up at Demetri as he looked at her and she could feel the promise in his words. With an agreeable nod, she promised him," You are right. We are never going to separate again, for any reason."

Demetri nodded and simply pulled her into his arms again. However, their little stolen time from the world was soon interrupted by reality as Demetri’s phone started to ring.

With a complaint, she raised her head and quickly looked at the caller id. "It is Alexander Sterling."

As she passed the phone to Demetri, fully intending to overhear the conversation, she could not help but feel apprehension. Even though Demetri reassured her that her uncle did genuinely care for her, she could hardly believe it. She’d never had that.

But of course, from her own interactions with the man, she knew it could be true. She’d truly felt the affection from him. However, that affection was soon going to be tested. After all, she was going to become an obstruction in his plans.

While she’d had no memory, she could have gone along, letting the plan take its course but now things were different. She had no intention of staying away from her husband because of politics. While she would be willing to help out, things would need to be changed.

She tried to overhear what he had to say but it was of no use. Frowning, she stared at Demetri, trying to judge from his expression... which was of course futile and foolish. Finally, the man disconnected the call with a murmured," Thank you."

Nora stared expectantly at Demetri waiting for him to tell her about this conversation but the man said nothing and simply closed his eyes.

Frowning, she pinched the side of his chest making him groan as she caught her wrist," You are getting violent by the day, kitten."

"Tell me what I want to know." Nora pouted at him.

"What do you want to know..."

Nora was tempted to stomp her feet in exasperation. Why was he always doing this?

Grinning, Demetri patted her bottom and said," Prime Minister Sterling wanted to inform me about the arrival of a representative from Frost Industries. We will be meeting him tomorrow."

That perked her up. She wanted to see her brothers as well! "Really? Who is it? Ian or Gabe? How have they been? They must have been worried too..."

Demetri sighed as he answered," I don’t know how they’ve been doing.I have not spoken to them since the accident."

That shocked Nora and she looked at him with questions," Why not?"

Demetri looked away. Because he had no intention of returning to the living if she was not with him. If Nora had never remembered him then he would have continued to stay here by her side as a humble gardener.

Nora understood his thoughts and even as she hugged him harder to console him, she could not help but murmur," They must have been so worried."

"They knew that I was alive. I’d sent a message."

"You must have made them so sad." Nora murmured.

"You are right. I’ll apologize later. Now, don’t you want to know who has come?"

"Yes yes. Who is it?"

Demetri grinned and answered," Lucy..."

Nora moved up on her elbow as she heard this," Lucy? But he rarely likes to leave his office. And, expansion of the business is not his territory..."

They both looked at each other as Nora said this before breaking into mutual laughter. The other brothers were definitely up to something. They must already know that her and Demetri were here and they had sent Lucy... instead of fighting to come here...

Quickly, Nora stood up, ready to jump out of bed as she said," Lets go meet him! Its been sooooo long...."

Looking Nora move around excitedly, trying to get her clothing, Demetri shook his head and complained," Hey! I am feeling jealous over here." That made Nora pause as she looked at Demetri and his impassive face. Quickly she jumped onto the bed and kissed the man’s forehead," Liar! I know you are as excited as me to see him..."

"I am not..."

Shaking her head, Nora called out in a sing-song voice, "Thou protest too much..."

Demetri did not let her escape so easily however and she was soon caught in his trap...
