Chapter 57: Welcome Mrs. Lee

Erik woke up. He felt something soft and warm pressing on his chest and thigh. He was confused for a moment but then memories of his passionate lovemaking came rushing back. He smiled as he gently lifted the arm and the leg that entangled him and propped himself on his elbow.

Aryana was fast asleep. Her face was still flushed from the strenuous exercise that they just did and her lips were swollen. Her dark and long eyelashes cast a shadow on her face.

Erik studied her for a long time. She looked like an angel sleeping so peacefully. He caressed her face with his hand and brushed her lips with his thumb. Aryana stirred. The quilt that covered her was pushed down for some reason exposing her breast. Erik cupped the mountain on her chest with his hand. She moaned and her lips parted slightly.

The fire that was quenched earlier was rekindled. The desire to possess her again overwhelmed Erik. He kissed her fervently, pried her mouth open, and pushed his tongue inside to seek hers.

Aryana was still half asleep but her body responded to him. When Erik penetrated her, she became fully awake. This time she did not close her eyes but her gaze was on Erik’s. During their first time, Erik was very gentle because he was afraid he would hurt her. But now he wasn’t gentle at all.

Aryana looked at him all throughout. When he climaxed together with her, he gave a pleasured moan and his eyes glinted with love and satisfaction.

Aryana smiled sweetly showing her two dimples. She lay contented in his arms and went back to sleep.

...

The sun was already up when Aryana woke up the following morning. She was awakened by the knocks on the door. She hurriedly picked up her nightgown that was carelessly tossed on the floor the previous night and put it on. When she attempted to walk, her legs wobbled and she felt very sore in between her thighs. She reached the door with difficulty and opened it. It was the maid.

"I am going to change the beddings, Ma’am. Sir is also at the gazebo waiting for you." The maid said politely.

Aryana hurried to the bathroom casting a shameful glance at the messy bed. She took a bath, brushed her teeth and hurriedly dressed in a midi off-shoulder sun dress. She wondered if it was Erik who selected the dresses for her. They all looked great and the style was according to her taste.

Aryana headed to the gazebo and found Erik reading the latest news from his tablet.

"Good morning Hon." Aryana greeted him shyly.

Erik put down the coffee mug and looked at her with a gentle smile.

"Honey, I think I like that. It sounds sweet." He pulled her towards him and kissed her on the corner of her lips.

"Have breakfast and let’s go back after." Erik placed a plate of eggs benedict in front of her. There was also toasted bread and a serving of mixed fruits.

"Thanks." She murmured.

Erik scowled. "You don’t have to thank me. I’m your husband remember."

Aryana blushed and started eating.

"Did I hurt you last night?" Erik’s voice sounded hoarse and seductive.

Aryana looked at him and the redness of her face deepened. "Just a little bit." She said honestly.

Erik was amused at how shy she was. He reached out to wipe the hollandaise sauce that smeared the corner of her mouth.

"Yana, would you like to have children?" Erik asked suddenly.

Aryana was dumbfounded. She did not think Erik would ask such a question. She was still very young and her career was just starting.

"Would you like to?" She threw back the question at him.

"Of course, I’d like to have children but not now. You are still too young. Last night I did not use any protection." He said in a concerned voice.

"I am in my safe period," Aryana said awkwardly. She still cannot get used to Erik discussing such kind of topics.

"Yana, today is my grandfather’s seventieth birthday. A party will be held for him at our ancestral home. It is a private party and will be attended by close relatives only. I’ll take this opportunity to introduce you to them as my wife."

Aryana was about to bring the cup of coffee to her mouth but her hand froze mid-air. She looked at Erik with big eyes.

"So soon?"

Erik reached out for her hand and he tapped lightly at the ring on her finger. "They will eventually know this so I better tell them right away."

"Do you think they will approve of me?" Aryana initially wanted to ask if they will like her but changed it to approve.

Erik’s gaze darkened and there was worry on his face. It was fleeting and yet Aryana captured it.

"I don’t know. But don’t worry you are my wife now and there is nothing they can do about it." Erik said with conviction but his face has a dark expression on it.

...

They left Blue Bay villa by chopper. Erik accompanied Aryana to her apartment. She has very little to pack and she was finished in less than two hours.

Erik brought her to his penthouse at Gaeya Tower. He registered both her fingerprints and her face in the security system.

"This lift can only be used by a few people. It is equipped with face or fingerprint recognition. Check it out."

Aryana stood in front of the camera and heard a robotic voice telling her "Entry granted." She also tried her fingerprint and heard the same robotic response.

When they reached the penthouse, Aryana noted that there was only one elevator that serviced the top floor. Other than the fire exit and the elevator, there was no other way to access the penthouse.

Erik lead her to a wooden mahogany door and let her stand where the camera was installed.

"Welcome Mrs. Lee!" A robotic female voice greeted her then the door opened. She looked at Erik in surprise. It was the first time she heard of being referred to as Mrs. Lee.

"Lights On," Erik commanded in a loud voice and the light in the living room automatically turned on. "Let’s register your voice later. All appliances here are voice activated."

Without warning, Erik lifted Aryana and carried her bridal style. He looked down at her and said gently. "Welcome to our home Mrs. Lee."
