Secretly Mine
Chapter 64: A Warm Embrace

Chapter 64: A Warm Embrace

The next morning, I woke up to a knock on my bedroom door.

"Second Miss, I’ve been sent to make sure you’re awake and starting to get ready. I’ve left your outfit outside your door."

I sat up in my bed and glanced at the time. It was only three a.m. and I was already told to wake up.

Don’t I need to be at Christian’s at six? Why are they waking me up so early?

"Thank you. I’m awake," I replied.

As the maid’s footsteps got farther away, I finally got out of bed and made my way over to the shower.

Hopefully, I’ll get an opportunity to sleep during the flight.

The only thing that kept me going was my desire to see Christian. Thankfully, the hot water from the shower helped me wake up a little.

After showering, I put on a robe and went to retrieve the box with my prepared outfit. After opening the lid, I wasn’t surprised to find a fairly standard office outfit consisting of a cream colored pencil skirt and a pink blouse.

"Could be worse," I said under my breath and quickly changed into it.

I knew that my mother would most likely wake up early just to ensure that I looked appropriate before I set off, so I decided to take some time to do something with my hair.

After doing a few simple curls, I gathered it into a French twist and secured it in place with a few pins.

Hopefully, this will be enough to satisfy her.

When it finally hit five a.m. I made my way over to the foyer. As expected, my mother was already standing there waiting for me.

"Spin, let me have a look," she said, holding back a yawn.

I did as she asked and spun around once.

"Good. Your hair looks nice today. Wear it like that more often during the week," she said before wheeling two large suitcases over to me.

"Here are the things the maid’s packed for you. It should have everything you need for the week’s trip. Do your best not to get in Christian’s way."

Sorry, Mom. But I don’t plan on getting out of his way.

"Yes. I’ll be mindful," I said, looking down at the floor.

"Good. Your father will be expecting a report when you get back." After saying her piece, she walked back towards her bedroom while one of the nearby maids carried my luggage to the car.

The moment I sat in the car, excitement bubbled up inside of me. I was finally going to see him again after three impossibly long days.

Will he be happy to see me?

All sorts of questions flooded my mind as the scenery around me changed. This would be my second time arriving at Christian’s manor, except now I had a desire to be there.

The driver skillfully drove up to the beautiful mansion where one of Christian’s staff was waiting for me.

"Welcome, Miss, please come inside," he said, opening the large double doors.

While I stepped inside, the staff had already brought in my luggage for me. I expected to be led over to the sitting room where my family was taken to the last time we visited, but instead, the butler took me upstairs.

I followed him quietly while observing the beautiful architecture of the house until we reached another set of double doors.

"Please head inside," he bowed his head before making his way back downstairs. I waited until he was out of sight before opening the door.

At first, I expected this room to be a library or study, but when I stepped inside, I realized I was wrong.

"Mmm, you’re finally here. Come here."

Christian’s sleepy voice sounded from the bed. He looked at me with a deep smile as he patted the bed beside him.

"Yes, I’m here," I replied softly. My lips couldn’t help but curve into a big smile.

It was my first time inside Christian’s actual bedroom, and the interior was very different from what I had pictured.

Light, bright, and airy. Unlike the secret bedroom at his company, this room made me feel like I was in a chateau in the countryside. The large, floor-to-ceiling windows, along with the white, airy curtains, created a sense of peace.

"Well? Coming?" he asked again, this time holding up the blanket for me to get under.

I took a few steps forward, "Doesn’t the flight leave soon? Shouldn’t we be heading to the airport right now?"

He let out a big yawn and smiled, "Nah. Our flight doesn’t leave until the afternoon. Now get in here before I come over there and deliver you myself."

Afternoon? I’m certain the time on the ticket was for seven this morning.

Unable to resist his charm, I took my shoes off and sat down on the edge of his bed. Christian didn’t hesitate and immediately pulled me into his embrace.

"Did you miss me?" he asked as he looked into my eyes.

The tips of my ears heated up, "Yes. A lot more than I thought."

"Good. I missed you, too," he smiled, placing a kiss on my forehead.

My eyes traveled down his face and onto his exposed chest. He was so hot in this moment that I could already feel the first tingling of desire spread across my skin.

"Let’s get you out of those clothes so that you can sleep more comfortably. I only went to bed a few hours ago, and I’ve had a hard time sleeping these last few days; I’d like to sleep a bit more."

He reached over and pulled my blouse right off before moving over to unzip my skirt. I helped him to speed up the process, and a few minutes later, I was lying in his arms in my underwear.

"Hmm, let’s get this thing off. I heard sleeping in your bra isn’t healthy," he whispered as his hands deftly wrapped around me and unhooked my bra.

As soon as the clasp was released, I felt his hand graze my breasts as he pulled my bra off.

"Much better," he smiled and pulled me over so that I was pressed against him.

The warmth coming off him, coupled with his lingering scent and the softness of the sheets, formed the perfect sleeping conditions.

I felt so relaxed and safe in his embrace that I quickly fell asleep.
