Davina’s Pov:-
Days went on, and Things between me and Arthur have been extreme. The way we were having sex like wild creatures was beyond my imagination. I was never like this before and it’s scaring me as I look at the way I am now, with Arthur.
When I was married to Allen, even though we were in love before marriage, we never had sex this way. With Arthur, my self-control is of no use and sometimes it frustrates me to no end. The way my body reacts to his touch is very confusing to me, I tried to control myself numerous times when he touched me but always ended up melting in his arms.
My body began to get a craving for more when he was around and the way I feel when he smiled at me was complicated. I don’t know why I feel this way and I desperately want to talk to someone and want to explain what’s happening to me. I really wish that someone could tell me what’s wrong with me? Why do I act so strangely when he’s around?
Time seems to be moving faster day by day, and April and I grew a very strong bond. She does small talks with me now and then, inviting me to her kitty party with her dolls and telling me a few things about her like what she likes and what she doesn’t.
I began teaching her how to talk with others, I guess by passing day, April is getting used to the mansion and the people around her. I once saw her smiling and talking to Coop and the way he is with her made her a bit comfortable with him but that somehow made me feel upset as the thoughts of Arthur rushed to my mind.
I wish I could pull them closer, once Arthur starts talking to her, he will forget about his hatred for kids. I am 100% sure about it. I think I have to do something to get them close and maybe that can help them get closer.
I just have to push them together and see what happens, I really think they will get along well but there was this doubt in my head like, Will April talk to him? I mean I never left her alone with Arthur and I am scared if he shouts at her as he did before. She’s too fragile and Arthur can not control his temper, that scares me.
“Yeah, just like that!” I said while watching April draw in her drawing book. We were sitting in the living room, with her drawing books and her toys. I glanced at the window and saw the sun setting and my eyes automatically moved to the main door.
Arthur will be here in a few minutes, I thought and some kind of excitement rose inside me.
Why are you so excited? be normal, it’s just him! My subconscious scolded.
Yea! I replied.
I leaned my back to the couch and watched April, while a sigh escaped from my lips. I kept on encouraging her by clapping and cheering her up. I think I should take her out to parks and all, it will help her mingle with other kids of her age.
According to Mr. Thomas, that will help her open up more, and makes it easy for her to talk and learn things. He visits thrice a week to check her condition and lately everything is going well with April.
“Yeah, send them to me,” I heard Arthur’s voice coming from the main door. I turned around and saw him talking on his phone and walking inside. He looked stressed and very tired, his hair was messed up as if he ran his fingers through it.
“Okay,” he replied to the person on the phone and hung up, I watched his head turn to us and his blue/green locked with mine. He stopped in his tracks and a small smile appeared on his lips.
I found myself smiling at him as he began walking towards us. When he reached me, my smile grew. He bent down until his face was mere inches away from mine and I automatically closed my eyes, and parted my lips to let him kiss me. I got surprised when he bent down to my neck, and kissed the left side of my neck right down my jawline.
His lips lingered there for a second before he moved back and sat beside me on the couch, I glanced at April and saw her staring at us with a small smile on her lips. She turned her head and began drawing in her notebook,
Did she smile at us? The question popped into my head.
I was surprised at her reaction and glanced at Arthur, he was busy typing something on his phone.
I have to tell Mr. Thomas. I thought while watching her.
***
I was blankly staring into space while sitting on the couch beside Arthur, I could hear him still typing on his phone. Life can be very boring sometimes. A sigh escaped my lips as I leaned back to the couch, this earned Arthur’s attention.
I could feel his eyes on me but I chose not to look at him, all of a sudden he grabbed my hand. I looked at him and saw a small smirk forming at the corner of his lips, I raised an eyebrow with a questioning look on my face.
“Come with me,” he said while standing up and pulling me with him,
“Where are you taking me, Arthur?” I asked while following him, he didn’t reply to my question and kept dragging me with him. The direction he was taking me made me realise where we were heading to,
Oh, good lord, I don’t want this now. I thought and glanced at Arthur.
“Stop!” I said while pulling my hand out of his grip, he stopped walking and turned his head to me.
“We can’t have sex whenever we get bored, Jesus!” I said with frustration evident in my tone.
He turned his body towards me and stood with his hands inside his pockets, “Umm… There are other things which can be done when people get bored besides having sex, like… going shopping, watching movies together… something like that,” I said and glanced at Arthur.
He folded his hands over his chest and watched me with an intense stare, I gulped hard and stood there awkwardly looking everywhere but at him.
“I… want to watch movies…” I said while glancing at him, “With you…” I added while glancing at the ground.
Fuck! Where did that come from, Davina? Movies? Seriously? My subconscious yelled inside my head.
I know he will refuse that but I wanted to try to pull him and April together, I had to try. I replied.
It’s not about him refusing you, idiot…. My small argument with my subconscious was cut off by his words, “Okay…” he said and a big smile began to form on my lips,
“… But only with you… alone!” he added making the smile drop.
Huh! You’re trapped now! My subconscious mocked.
Arthur’s Pov:-
The way her adorable smile dropped, made the corner of my lips move upwards. Her beautiful brown eyes stared at my face while swallowing visibly, my eyes moved to her neck as she swallowed.
“What?” she asked while staring at me in surprise, I smirked while stepping a step forward,
“We will watch your favourite movie, Alone…” I said and with each step, I took ahead, she stepped back while swallowing hard.
“N-No, Ap-April will also join us, We… We will watch together,” she stuttered while stepping back and folding her hands over her chest like a stubborn child.
I tried to suppress my chuckle as I saw her looking at me with a determined look, “Hm… We can watch a movie with her…” I said while staring down at her, a sweet smile immediately appeared on her lips, lighting her eyes.
“But… after we watch one… alone,” I added and her smile dropped again, “and… You will have to sit on my lap while watching it…” I said while tracing her bare shoulder with the back of my hand. She closed her eyes and took deep breaths as my fingers draw a line from her shoulder to her pretty neck.
“Tell me,” I asked while tracing her neck with the back of my fingers, she was breathing rapidly while closing her eyes and biting her lips.
“O-Okay,” she shuttered, I immediately moved my hand away from her and grabbed her wrist.
This is going to be fun, Davina, I smirked while dragging her with me.
