They were by the door of the room they booked, but the vibes the women were giving him were such that he leaned against the door, his eyes closed, his lips on the lips of one of the women while taking in the magical touch of the other.
Santiago stood and watched. This is vulgar. Can’t they go into the room and do nonsense acts. Other customers were passing by and snorting but it didn’t mean anything to them.
Santiago shook his head and passed. This is the man who wants to be with his sister? A man whose dick is a plaything for every woman?
As he went, he dialled Charlotte’s phone and she answered. When he asked her where she was, she replied and said she’s at the restaurant, having brunch.
He went over to meet her and really saw her eating. He told her to call him as soon as she got to the hotel, instead, she started eating without reaching out to him first. He frowned at her actions.
“I’m sorry honey. I had to stay here and take in enough of what I saw. The things I saw today, my mouth cannot express it. I hope Father would be careful in encouraging Aurora or trying to influence her decision on who she should be involved with.
Santiago squinted and said “Were you invariably talking about Ray Grimard, the flirty Lieutenant general?”
Charlotte dropped her cutlery and pouted her lips. Two witnesses already.
Thirty minutes later the waiter folded a brown envelope and slipped it to the table quickly as he pretended to clear the table. The same way, Charlotte folded new notes of currency underneath the dishes.
Santiago saw what happened but pretended not. Charlotte locked eyes with him and shrugged. He pulled her up and took her away from the restaurant.
“Wait for me here. I’ll be through soon” he instructed and went back to the meeting. But his mind was lingering, wondering what was so hasty that Charlotte came to find him and yet she appeared relaxed a while ago.
Hence he excused himself and returned to her. He saw her going through a report but quickly put it away when he arrived.
“You’re back so early?” Charlotte asked, not expecting him to return so early. Since he was with the lock, he didn’t need to knock, just use the lock and get in. Hence she was caught unaware with the test result in hand.
“I couldn’t concentrate because you’re around. Your effect on me when I am at home isn’t different from what you’re having on me here. So what’s the matter of urgency?” He asked, ignoring her startled looks when he came in.
“I didn’t mean to cross you. I also didn’t think it was going to result in this. I wasn’t careless at all. But…. don’t be unhappy with me” Charlotte stuttered.
She doesn’t like to hurt him. Santiago loves her as much as she loves him too. The last thing she could ever think of doing is hurting him.
“I still haven’t gotten what you’re saying. What exactly are you saying?” Santiago asked, staring at her. Why is she acting as if she’s afraid of being scolded by him?
“I…” she paused and stood up, standing with her back against the wall. She looked in the direction of the result.
“Just talk already. Is there a problem?” Santiago asked, now getting worried about what would make her stutter without saying what exactly is wrong with her.
“I’m pregnant, Santiago,” Charlotte blurted. She stood still, staring at Santiago. Expecting him to frown. To tell her why it happened when he hadn’t asked her for it.
“You’re what?” Santiago asked, his gaze on her. Did she say she was pregnant? Oh gosh!
“I’m pregnant,” Charlotte repeated. She held her breath, waiting for her husband to simply turn around and walk away. That’s Santiago Blake for you. He suddenly would walk away when furious.
“Oh my gosh! You’re pregnant!” Santiago chimed. Finally, she’s pregnant. He’d been worried that it wasn’t working. He only knew what he’d done and he’s pleased.
Charlotte was dazed. She was just staring at him. She doesn’t know if she’s to be happy and smile or just stay calm and let him show her what she’s expected to do.
“I’m going to be a father?” Santiago chimed again and Charlotte nodded. She saw Santiago walk up to her and suddenly lifted her up her feet and swirled her around.
“Santiago, stop this already….” He wouldn’t listen and kept swirling her, carrying her princessely”My eyes are getting dizzy” Charlotte complained.
Only then did he stop, still carrying her, he looked into her eyes and kissed her briefly. He then placed her down and captured her lips for real.
He kissed her, savouring every moment of their connection. He caressed her hair, deepening the kiss in a passionate way, body against each other, they remained that way for a long time.
Charlotte was happy. Her worries earlier were not necessary. She kissed him back, now, they are both happy. In that passionate moment, Santiago let his hands lingered to her flat belly and he caressed it.
“Thank you for this good news my love” Santiago chimed and cupped her face in his arms. It’s just right. He wanted it. He changed her pills and replaced them with supplements.
She didn’t know but he did. And in order for her not to know, the supplements were looking almost like the pills. That way, she was taking pills to enhance conception and not the other.
“I was worried that you won’t be happy. You aren’t ready for a baby yet” Charlotte explained. Her worries were uncalled for.
“On the contrary, I am ready. And when I get home today, I’ll let you understand how it really went” Santiago assured. He would unveil his deeds to her and tell her how she came about being pregnant.
“Really?” Charlotte asked and Santiago nodded. She was so happy that she pulled him closer and started kissing him again. This time it went wild.
They kissed sweetly, deepening, pausing at intervals to take their breath. Santiago had pulled off his suit, he could feel he was losing his restraint, he wanted to take her, every bit of him wanted to get immersed inside of her.
“Santiago,” Charlotte whispered. She knows her husband better than anyone else. She knows his desire, it’s always on point with hers and his hardness, it’s poking itself in protrusion from his pants.
“Hmmm” Santiago grunted, he couldn’t let go of her lips. He held her tightly, against his hardness, the urge to undress her was so compelling.
