“That paper will run worldwide the second I give the go ahead. You wanted to know who my secretive fiancee is now you do.”
“I never agreed to marry you.”She yelled softly.”You told me you’re getting engaged.”
“I never said to whom.”He drank his coffee as if nothing was wrong it angered her even more.”Sage Romero.”He tested.”I like it.”
“I will not marry you, I suggest you forget about it.”
“Don’t you want the boys to grow up with both their parents under one roof. Would you really deprive them out of a chance of having a loving home.”
“Don’t you dare bring Logan and Liam into this.”Sage took a deep breath getting upset over this won’t help.”Look Bruno I don’t want to marry you nor do I want to get engaged to you. As Liam and Logan’s parents we can give and provide a home for them we don’t have to be together to do that.”
“Liam and Logan will grow up under one roof with both their parents, we owe them that. You had two parents, so did I. Will you deny them that.”
“Bruno there are many parents out there who raise their kids in different homes.”
“Our kids won’t fall under that statistics. Not while we both still alive.”
“Why are you doing this. We both know we don’t have to get married to raise the boys. Then why.”
“I’ll go to any extend to make sure our boys are happy and have everything they need including growing up with both parents in one home. Not two.”
“Is this about last night? Like I said I don’t expect anything from you.
“I wanted it too and I don’t have any regrets, Bruno please think about this we not compatible, we not meant for each other. We can never be together, never in a million years would I be able to fit into your lifestyle, I’m not meant to live this life it’s not me not only that your friends and family will laugh at me. Look at me, really look at me.”
“You beautiful Sage inside and out. No one will ever dare to laugh at Bruno Romero’s wife especially if they value their lives.”She would’ve been touched by his words if only she wasn’t so angry at him for trying to coerce her into marrying him.”As for us not being compatible I disagree with you, we’re perfect together in every way in and out of bed, you know that, that’s why you so afraid to give us a chance to see how far this attraction will take us. Last night was incredible I think I speak for both of us when I say we both have never experienced something so magical with anyone before. And I want more, I want more than a one night stand, more than a body to keep my bed warm temporarily. I want everything from you Sage, more than you have ever given anyone and I will have you, in my bed and in my life. My ring will be on your finger so that every man who thinks of wanting you will know you’re taken. That you belong to me, you’re mine and I will not share you with anyone especially after having you in my bed. I’ll give you a week to think about my offer, after that…”His voice trailed off she knows he will go ahead and let them print this paper she cannot allow him to do this, she needs to come up with a plan or way for him to change his mind. To make him understand she isn’t for him, he stood and went to kiss each of the boys.”I need to leave or I’ll be late.” He came to stand next to her Sage refused to look at him leaning closer he kissed her temple.”I’ll see you later. All of you.”
“We won’t be here later.”She said.”We going home.”
“This will be your new home soon.”Sage groaned after he was gone, Bruno is insane if he thinks she’s gonna agree to be his wife. Has this been his plan all along to seduce her, sleep with her then drop such a big bombshell on her telling her she’s his fiance without even asking her. The man is too much add crazy too if he actually believes she’ll agree to marry him, after breakfast she took the boys and left, Margarita his housekeeper tried to convince
Sage to stay until Bruno comes back but she decline.
“Thank you for breakfast but we cannot stay, the boys don’t have anything here and neither do I, we really need to leave.”
“Senor Romero already bought everything for them senora there’s no need to leave besides I enjoy looking after them and cooking for someone other than the senor. Please senora.”
Margarita is asking so nicely Sage couldn’t bring herself to say no and the loving look she shot in Logan and Liam’s direction made Sage gave in.”Fine.
We’ll stay but only until the senor comes back.”
“Can I get you anything.”
“No thank you. Although I wouldn’t mind to go and lie down for an hour or so.”
“I’ll happily watch them for you and don’t worry the senor told me everything I will take good care of them.”
“I know you will.”Sage trusted Margarita. She went to the room she was suppose to sleep in last night not where she had ended up in Bruno’s bed. It didn’t take her long to fall asleep that’s how exhausted she was.
Bruno was sitting in a meeting not that his mind was here, all he thinks about is Sage and the amazing night they’d shared, how good she had felt, no woman has ever given herself so openly and intimately like she had last night and he still wanted more, one night hadn’t been enough, he wanted more of her, more of the passionate nights they can have together. It had taken all his self control not to take her again this morning but he’d seen how tired she was, that made him leave her alone in bed to rest, not touching her is impossible, not making love to her would be pure hell. Last night had proven only having her for a night won’t suffice, he wanted her in his bed. Always. No one other than him should touch her, caress her, make love to her, the thought of another man touching her body makes him blind with rage, anger. And after their night together no man will ever lay a finger on her, she’s his and his alone…
The second he had seen the boys when he had come home he’d known she was still here, their presence here gave the air a welcoming loving feel, something he hasn’t felt in years. He wonder what changed her mind for her to stay, the boys seemed at home, this is their home he didn’t want them to leave. He made his way upstairs Margarita told him she has slept for most of the day and didn’t even come down for lunch, she must really be tired. Gently he pushed open the bedroom door, she was still fast asleep he went over to her and sat down next to her, not able to resist he stroked her cheek, she stirred. There’s something about Sage that lures him to her, other woman didn’t exist anymore he only wanted her, needed her.”Bruno..?”She murmured, and leaned into his touch. Her eyes fluttered open, those gorgeous brown eyes gazed up at him. Leaning closer he kissed her softly, she kissed him back it took everything in him not to climb on top of her.”So I’m not dreaming.”She said when he pulled away.”Gosh I was so tired the bed called my name. How are the boys.”
“Keeping Margarita busy.”She sat upright, her dress shifted exposing more of her silky smooth skin she doesn’t seem to realise, his gaze darken, need stirred low in his groin.”I like you better in my bed.”He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
“Good thing I’m not going to sleep in your bed anymore.”
“So I guess you haven’t changed your mind.”
“And I won’t Bruno us getting married isn’t gonna work. You’re every woman’s man, a player, you’ve never had any serious relationship and I don’t think you can have one. Marriage isn’t a game it’s a lifetime commitment, can you honestly sit there and say you ready to spend your life with me. Someone you don’t know that well. Can you.”
“I can.”He said without flinching.”I’ll be committed to you Sage, if you worried about my fidelity towards you don’t doubt that because I won’t ever be unfaithful unto you same way I know you won’t too.”
“What’s gonna happen the day you get tired of me, when you won’t want me anymore. Because it will happen.”
“It won’t.”He told her, Sage moved away from him his closeness it’s weakening her, clouding her judgement.”Will you get tired of me?”He asked her.
How can any woman get tired with a hunk like him, she only wants more with each second.”What if I am. What if I don’t want you. What if I’m in love with someone else.”
He studied her.”What if I don’t believe anything you’ve just said.”
“I don’t care because it’s the truth.”
“Your eyes never lie and I can see you’re lying to me. We will announce our engagement followed by our wedding.”
“You didn’t even ask me what I want. If I want to marry you or not.”
