THE NEXT DAY
MORNING
Lily hummed as she stared at her husband’s face as he slept. She lifted her hand to his hair and played with it, she lifted the strands that fell on his face so she could get a clearer view of his face.
A smile formed on her lips as memories of last night came flooding in. He was gentle and sweet with her, this time he was more concerned about her pleasure than his.
She was surprised he wasn’t awake before her, usually, he gets up first but she was awake before him this time. He must have been really exhausted.
It’s been over twenty minutes that she has been awake and staring at him. She took her time to admire him, she couldn’t stop thinking about how lucky she was to have a husband this handsome.
If a contract hadn’t been involved, she might have never gotten married to him, that was why she concluded that she was happy.
She tried to wake him up but he didn’t, so she started to mumble her favourite song. She also hummed it hoping he would open his eyes but he didn’t.
She decided to continue playing with his face since she enjoyed it. Her eyes moved to his lips and she smiled, she pecked it and giggled silently.
It was a little funny to her, she felt in control. It looked like he was submissive to her.
She kissed him again and this time, it wasn’t a peck. She ran her tongue on his lips and it tasted weird but she didn’t stop.
“Are you really not awake?” She whispered and kissed his lips again. She was about to pull away when he reciprocated and rolled her over.
Lily froze as he got on her and pinned her hands to the bed.
“Hey, you are awake.” She chuckled nervously.
“Yeah, happy now?” Axel asked and she nodded with a giggle.
He smirked and let go of her hands and got off her, he sat up and Lily also did too. As she did, the blanket slipped off her body and revealed her naked body.
Axel stared at her and Lily smiled at him.
“You are so excited this morning.” Axel said and ruffled her hair. She laughed and suddenly straddled him, Axel groaned as he felt his dick respond.
“Lily, don’t start what you can’t finish.” He said and she rolled her eyes.
“Who says I can’t finish what I have started?” She asked back and Axel chuckled.
“You are getting naughty.” He said and she shrugged.
“Whose fault?” She asked and Axel smiled. She leaned closer to him and kissed him, Axel wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to himself.
Axel let out a groan as he moved his hand to her ass. Lily suddenly pulled away from the kiss and Axel gave her a questioning look.
“Can we shower together?” She asked and Axel smirked.
“I should see this side of you more often.” He replied and carried her off the bed. Lily laughed happily as he carried her into the bathroom.
*******
“Open up.” Axel muttered and Lily opened her mouth, he fed her the food.
They were both having breakfast together and Lily was seated on Axel’s lap. As he ate, he also fed her.
“Here.” Axel said and handed her a glass of water, she took it and gulped it.
“Slowly, Lilyana.” Axel said and she gulped it slowly.
His phone rang and Axel picked it up from the table, he picked up the call and placed the phone on speaker.
“Hey.” They both heard Max say and Axel replied.
“What’s up?”
“I got us a meeting with Marley in thirty minutes.” Max said and Lily froze. She withdrew the glass from her mouth and stared at Axel.
“Okay, I will be out soon.” He replied and ended the call.
“Hey, baby. Something came up and I have to go.” Axel told her and creased her waist.
“You are meeting with Marley.” She said and he nodded in response.
“Yeah, it shouldn’t take so long. You can spend the day with Nora, I will inform you when we get back.” He added. Lily felt disturbed a little, meeting Marley didn’t sound right.
She wanted to tell him about what she heard but at the same time, she didn’t.
“Why will you be meeting with someone you don’t know? Doesn’t it sound dangerous?” Lily asked and he chuckled.
“I like dangerous things.” He replied and she sighed.
“But… ”
“When did you start worrying about me?” Axel asked with his brows furrowed and Lily sighed again.
“Fine.” She muttered and stood up from his lap, she walked to the bed and sat on it.
Axel stood up and walked into the closet, he changed his outfit and walked out in minutes.
As he picked up his keys and his phone, he glanced at Lily.
She was staring down at her fingers as she played with them. Axel could tell she wasn’t happy with him leaving.
He walked to her and sat next to her.
“How about I text you every minute about my whereabouts, would that be better?” He asked and she looked up at him.
“Really?”
“Yes. I will inform you of my every move so you won’t be worried.” He added and Lily smiled.
“Okay.”
“Your phone is in the drawer over there. You left it in the car the other night.” He explained and pointed in the direction of the drawer.
“Okay.” She replied with a wide smile.
“I will be back before you know it.” He said and kissed her cheeks then stood up.
“Bye.” She waved at him and he smiled at her before walking out of the room.
Lily rushed to the drawer and picked up her phone, she turned it on and texted Nora immediately, telling her to get dressed and meet her in her suite in five minutes.
Minutes passed and Nora rang the doorbell, Lily rushed to it and opened the door,
“Hey, what’s… ” Nora trailed off as Lily pulled her in.
“What is going on?” Nora asked and Lily looked around the room for something. She didn’t give Nora a response to her question.
“Okay, what are you looking for?” Nora asked.
“Axel’s keys. The other keys to the other cars.”
“They are always with the guards but I have one with me.” Nora replied and Lily rushed to her.
“Great. Let’s go get it, we have to hurry.”
“We will but first, you have to tell me what is going on.” She said and Lily breathed out heavily as she tried to calm get nerves.
“I want us to trail Axel.” She said and Nora smiled.
“Okay, loving it. Keep going.”
“He is meeting with Marley in twenty five minutes and I want to be there.” She added and Nora’s smile faded.
“Now I hate it.” Nora replied and Lily groaned.
“Come on. I just have a feeling that he will get in trouble and I am so worried. He doesn’t know this person and he and Max are meeting with him. The man at the spa was on a call with Marley and they talked about Axel, they might want to hurt him.” Lily explained and Nora rolled her eyes.
“This isn’t your problem Lily. Axel can take care of himself, he has been doing this for years. He knows the risks.”
“I know but… ”
“You are just curious, Lily.” Nora cut her off and she sighed.
“Come on, please Nora. I have done a lot of things with you, just do this one for me.” She pleaded and held Nora’s hands.
“This is so weird. I am always the one making us do dangerous things and you tell us not to but now, it is the other way around.” Nora said and Lily looked at her with pleading eyes.
“This is dangerous Lily. It would be like we are walking into a death trap. Do you even know where he is?”
“He promised to text me the details of everything he does so I won’t be worried.” She replied and Nora sighed again.
“I will get you Axel’s black card.” She added and Nora smiled.
“I will go get the keys.” She said and rushed out of the room.
In minutes, they were out of the hotel and inside the car. Nora ignited it and drove out of the parking lot.
“So, where are we going?” Nora asked and Lily’s phone beeped. It was Axel’s text. He informed her that he was almost at the location and he told her where it was but it wasn’t in detail.
“Where is this place?” Lily asked and showed Nora the text on her phone.
“I don’t know, we will put it on the map.” Nora replied and turned on the GPS, she put in the location and it showed the direction to the place from their spot.
“Great, it’s twenty minutes from here.” Nora sighed and drove into the street.
“I can’t believe you are making me do this. This is so dangerous Lily.”
“Come on. We have been kidnapped by Albanians before, how bad can this be?”
