Thea
The night of the operation never left us with clarity, there were loopholes but then all we could have was hope.
Natalia had gone missing that day, Caspian had arrived at Manuel’s place only to find out that Natalia had stepped out for a while. The camera in the house had shown her leaving but without any properties. After the night was over it was clear that Natalia had played wise and ran away without leaving a trace. Angel had tried to locate her but it was in vain. It shouldn’t have been a hard thing to do except someone powerful was protecting her but then it couldn’t be Sparrow. Even if he had survived that night he was in no position to look after her.
Now that things were this way, Natalia wasn’t much of a threat to us. Seeing the way the night had turned out, she would be trying to stay lay low than jumping to another mafia lord.
I woke up in bed, although my eyes were still closed, my hands reach out to Angel’s side of the bed in search for him despite knowing it would be empty.
It was part of his daily routine ever since the night of the operation to check on Mike who had been shot but was luckily put out of harms way. He was given adequate care back at the mansion, Angel made sure he had everything he needed and everyone was so caring towards him. Mike was quite overwhelmed with the amount of love and care he received from us. He was loyal to Angel and it was that loyalty that got him shot but then he had no regrets.
As I turn in bed, I find myself turning into Angel’s arms, my eyes flutters open quickly feeling him next to me. I felt so relieved to see him still in bed.
“Morning.” He said caressing my cheek as he smiled down on me.
“Good morning handsome.” I greet, smiling back at him as well. “What are you doing here?” I asked knowing how absent he had been every morning I woke up.
“Hmm… I didn’t know you had gotten used to not waking up in my arms. You’ve broken my heart.” He says feigning a hurting heart to which I laugh at and hit him slightly on the chest.
“Stop kidding. You’re the one who runs off every morning to check on Mike.” I said in an accusatory tone and pouting to show him my slight displeasure about it.
“I’m sorry.” Angel said rubbing my chin as his eyes softened with the look of guilt.
“No, no don’t say that. I understand you.” I said sitting up slightly. I did miss waking uyo into his arms but I didn’t mind him seeing Mike every morning. He felt guilty for what happened to him so doing that was helpful.
“I won’t be leaving you anymore.”
“Promise?”
“I promise.” He said smiling so lovingly at me. I make him pinky swear and he positions his hand to do it but instead he pulled me in for a kiss causing me to fall back on his chest. I giggle and he tickles me in bed.
“I got breakfast ready for you.” He said after he was done tickling me..
“Oh… that’s too sweet of you my love. what about the others, we won’t be joining them?”
“I was hoping we’d spend the morning together.” He says and I could see that he missed spending morning time with me as much as I did too. I raise myself up and kiss him on the lips. In response, he drops a kiss in-between my breast.
We both stare at each other getting lost in each other’s gaze.
“I’m so lucky to have you.” Angel says breaking the silence. He took my hands and began dropping kisses on them while maintaining eye contact with me. It sent chills through every pore of my skin that I shivered.
“Angel…..” I call feeling emotional.
“I just want to thank you Thea, for being in my life.” He touches the depth of my heart with his words. “You … You make things easy for me. You’re my peace Thea. My world would be so meaningless without you my love.” He confessed making my heart swell with pride and joy.
“Angel ….” I whisper his name, staring deep into his spelling eyes. “You’re everything.”
Angel moves closer to me, looking more intensely into my eyes.
“You really got me through the guilt I felt for putting Mike’s life in danger.”
“You were strong my love. It wasn’t just me.”
“No Thea, you don’t understand. It was all you. You’ve completely changed my world for the better. I never thought that the pretty woman I just wanted to have fun with was going to mean so much more to me and make me feel alive. I never knew what I was missing untill I had you.” He said and I felt so special. I was also grateful to have come into his life and have such beautiful impacts on him.
“I don’t know what to say. I’m speechless with all these compliments.”
“They are facts my love.” Angel corrected and I just carress his face feeling even more attracted to him.
“And what about you?” He smiles at my words.
“What about me?” He sighs deeply and I part my lips to speak. “From the first day I saw you Angel, all I could think of was how hot and sinfully handsome you were…..” I pause and feel my eyes go slightly dreamy as I recalled my thoughts. The same gaze flashes in Angel’s eyes having an idea as well. “I wanted to fuck you so bad.” I confessed and Angel couldn’t hold back his laughter.
“Really?”
“It’s hard for such thoughts not to cross a mind. You have no idea how sinfully hot you are Angel.” I said knowing how much he affected my body from the very begining.
“Alright, now you’re blowing my mind.” He said with a smile on his face, I return his smile because it was contagious. So much genuineness on display.
“But then I was afraid of you and felt totally terrified of you when you saved me.” I chose to say the word ‘save’ instead of ‘bought’. He may have bought me but he practically saved my life. I could see that he appreciated my choice of word. I wasn’t about to make him feel terrible for the circumstances to which I came to live with him.
“Fuck… I hate myself.” He curses which only got me to chuckle.
“But then you just turned my world around and made me feel something I found impossible. I never thought I was capable of love. You got my heart beating for you and my soul craving you even without trying Angel.”
“You’re my soulmate Thea.” He said rendering me speechless. Telling me I was his soulmate was like the sweetest form of confessing one’s love.
“You’re my soulmate Angel.” I say to him as well. Angel stared at me in admiration before pulling me closer and sucking my lips into his. He tilted his head from side to side making mine do same as well as we tasted and savoured every inch and corner of our lips. Angel pulled away once we had our fill of each other but his eyes kept staring down at my lips while he rubbed his thumb over my chin. He bit his lips and I gulped down the heat he aroused.
