Chapter 17- Getting Away
Emelia’s POV
I kept my gaze locked onto Victor’s but I could feel his demeanor had changed. While his expression was hard to read, I could tell that he was conflicted.
Like he couldn’t choose between me or Lily.
As I leaned in to try and give him another kiss, Victor pulled away. Suddenly, his arm was no longer around my waist, and he’d stepped back a few inches.
I gave him a pleading look, but he didn’t acknowledge me. Disappointment, frustration, and sadness lingered in the space between us.
“I’ll be right back, okay Lily?” Victor finally broke the silence. “I’m just going to take a shower real quick.”
“But I’m hungry now!” Lily pouted.
“Hey, you still haven’t even picked what you wanted.” Victor joked half–heartedly. “Keep looking around. I’ll be back to make you whatever, okay?”
Lily crossed her arms and turned away to go raid our kitchen cabinets for ingredients.
Meanwhile, I stomped after Victor up the steps and followed him into our bathroom.
“You can’t be serious, Victor.” I pleaded. “I know you want this, too.”
“It’s hard when I have a responsibility to take care of her.” Victor sighed. “But look, in two days, we can make that trip I promised you.”
“Then, we’ll have a whole room and a week to get away from prying eyes.” Victor smiled mischievously. “That way, no one will be able to hear you while you’re being punished.”
He tried to close the distance to give me a kiss, but instead, I turned away. I left him in the bathroom to do whatever and just went to bed.
I wanted to hold out on the hope that maybe we could rekindle our love life on this trip. If anything, I just wanted to feel happy again.
The two days went by quickly and soon, we’d packed the back of the car with our luggage and were heading back to Victor’s hometown. Just leaving our driveway was enough to grant me instant relief, because I knew I wouldn’t have to hear Lily’s constant nagging.
It was about a six–hour drive away, but even the road trip was fun. We sang to music at the top of our lungs and saw many beautiful, historic landmarks. Once we were at the hotel and had unpacked everything, we were both
tired.
But as we laid on the bed, things quickly heated up.
Victor’s lips were all over me as they trailed down my neck, Strong hands took my shirt and pants off with a swiftness, as nimble fingers unfastened my bra with ease.
His eyes bore into mine as they sunk down to my bare breasts.
“My beautiful wife…” Victor murmured as he peppered kisses against my neck chest.
I threw my head back as I laced my fingers into his tussled, messy hair. Soft moans escaped my lips with every kiss and trace of his fingers against my skin. It was like I was melting beneath his touch.
