Our Secret Dream 2

London

It's been too many days since I sprung the surprise visit of my parents on Bryan. I knew stepping behind those black steel gates was going to be yet another challenge for us in our relationship but I never knew it would end like this.

My parents left in my past, stuck in their big house, surrounded by oversized gates and fencing whilst I work with my husband to move on with my life - our lives.

For the first time in my whole adult life I'm able to spread my wings - to soar into the heavens with nothing but freedom beneath me. I don't have the dark heaviness in the pit of my heart from all of the secrets I'd been harbouring from my past. He knows everything. Every disturbing detail.

If I said I was nervous about exposing not only myself bare to him but my parents as well it wouldn't express it enough but somehow he was able to settle and soothe me.

One look. One-touch. One word. That's all it took.

My damaged heart peaked out between my ribs when I woke up to Bryan watching me sleep the morning after. I'd been scared that I'd wake up and see something other than love in his eyes when he looked at me but - if anything he seemed to look at me with a new intense wave of love and hunger. Like he had a deep burning coursing through his veins.

As much as it had hurt me listening to the lies they'd tried to spin at him in a pathetic attempt to make him a favour and support them over me, I didn't have their voices swirling around on repeat in my head. Because the words and behaviour they'd displayed was a necessary evil that I needed so I could move on from them.

And in a messed up way, I'm grateful to them for that.

With a sad smile on my lips, I shake my head clearing my wayward thoughts. Pulling my attention back to the handsome man sitting opposite me. His intensely dark blue eyes locked on mine, drawing me in, awakening every nerve ending in my body.

'How you doing, baby?' he asks, whilst holding out a cup of freshly brewed ginger tea.

'I'm okay, really.' My smile pulled at the corners, making one of my dimples show. 'Guess I just feel free. For the first time in myself, I don't feel tarnished. I can finally savour and enjoy our time together.'

'That's great, kitten.' he smiles at me, his eyes twinkling like the fairy lights he'd arranged on the Eiffel Tower. 'I love that smile, I think it's the first dimple smile I've seen on you.' with his appreciation and confession my heart tugs in desire, forcing my lips into reaching across the small table and capturing his in a deep passionate kiss. Soft lips against the other, followed by my teeth sinking into his lip. The pressure and tug from my teeth drag a moan from his mouth before I release him and fall back into my seat. My tongue licked my plump swollen lips, tasting the remnants of his lips.

'Fuck, baby. You've made me hard.' he groans. Shuffling uncomfortably on his seat attempting to rearrange himself without drawing any attention to us.

Amused I lean over the table and glance down at his crotch. Smirking when I see him straining against his tight jeans. The bulge left nothing to its imagination.

'Guess I should distract you then. You know so you can cool off' I tease, flicking my tongue across my lips before raising my teacup to my lips and drinking. Focusing my gaze on his lips.

'Behave' he warns me.

I laugh at his warning before deciding to be a good girl for a change and taking pitting on him. Changing the subject to how we should spend the rest of the week here in London. Other than today being my day of relaxation I want to make sure that he has a great time here. This might have been my home but I still have so many things I haven't even experienced here.

'Anything, in particular, you want to do whilst we are here

'I'd love to go to the Harry Potter Studio's, that's near London right?'

'Yeah, it's on the outskirts. We can use public transport or I could hire us a car and drive?'

'Let's hire a car, maybe we could go on an adventure of our own.'

'Perfect. I'll hire one when we get back to the hotel but as for the rest of today I have an idea.'

'Baby?' he asks his gaze falling from mine to his cup of ginger tea, the light hazel liquid lukewarm now in the English heat.

'Yeah?' I answer. Finishing the remaining tea in my cup.

'How's your heart doing?'

Without thinking I frown, my brows knotting together as my smile falls from my lips. My mind wondering deep inside myself as I try and figure out how to answer him. How was my heart doing?

'Lighter. Like the poison ivy, I've had wrapped around it for years has finally been poisoned and it's free to beat and feel love wholeheartedly.'

'I love you, kitten' he whispers, reaching across the table and taking my free hand in his. The warmth of his touch sent tingles up my spine.

'I love you more, bubby' I say. bringing out clasped hands up to my mouth, pressing a kiss to the back of his hand.

A few hours later ...

'So, how do you feel about doing some souvenir shopping?' I ask him as we climb into the back of a waiting black taxi. As I wait for him to agree with my suggestion I give our driver our destination.

'Oxford Street, please' He smiles back at me through the mirror before he turns his attention back on the road ahead. Flicking up the leaver to indicate that we will be pulling out to join the busy London traffic.

'Anything you want to do, baby' he mumbles against my neck. As his lips graze my heated skin. trailing soft kisses up my neck until he reaches my pleasure point beneath my ear.

Laughing I roll my head to the side breaking free from his mouth. 'I was thinking we should get your mom and brother something. I already promised to bring Quinn some of her favourite treats home.'

He chuckles beside me before pressing his lips to my temple muttering 'Sounds like a plan, baby' the loving endearments he always slips into any conversation never fail to have my heart fluttering inside my chest. Swelling against the confines of my rib cage.

Here's to a fun and action-packed day of sightseeing and spending far too much money!

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

I hope you're having a great week so far.

I wanted to give an update as I have been off for the past 3 months recovering from a double ankle fusion surgery which has given me a lot of free time to write, edit, post and plan but I'm going back to work next week so you might see a few delays between posting. I will try my best to keep posting every 2 days!

But, Please bear with me :)
