RESILIENCE

Chapter 37

As we drove past the building where the event was held, I saw Matteo's dad in a heated conversation with that man and woman I just spoke to before we left. Hands were waving and fingers were pointing.

"Matteo" I tried to gain his attention.

"Baby" he answered, while placing his hand on my thigh, with his eyes on the road.

"What is your dad's relationship with the Stevenson's? I just saw him in a heated conversation with Greg and his mother outside the venue as we drove past" I asked, as we headed onto the highway.

"I think he might be in business with my dad. I've seen dad talk to Greg a few times tonight" he mentioned, firmly gripping the steering wheel.

"Oh, what do you think the chances are the conversation about the Greg in the bathroom is linked to the Greg that introduced himself to me earlier?"

"The same guy" Matteo answered without a pause, "what did he talk to you about when he approached you?"

"Just gave a greeting and stared at me creepily and his mother the same"

I thought Matteo would bid me a good night, but it seemed he would be sleeping over. He followed behind me like a lost puppy. We checked on the boys, and the boys were fast asleep. We kissed them and headed into my bedroom.

"Matteo, please help me unzip" I asked, turning my back towards him as we stood in the middle of the bedroom. Already accepting that he will do as I've asked.

I could hear and feel my zipper being pulled downward, too slow, if you'd ask me. I turned around and saw that he was in a daze staring at me. I could see the movement of his Adams apple as he pulled me towards his chest.

His head bent downward and lightly brushed his lips over mine as I closed my eyes taking this feeling, I've come to love in. Yes, we've had some heated make out sessions since we've known each other, but we never took it further.

To be honest, he is the father of my kids, and I don't see myself being with anyone other than him. I also wouldn't mind taking the next step regardless. He would still be the only man I've been with.

Matteo's hand slid up towards my neck as I reveled in the feeling it evoked, which sent tingles through my whole body. I could feel the desire ripple off him, just as it could be seen and felt by my every action.

My mind went completely blank, not having a single thought floating around, as he kissed me with so much fervor and need that I forgot to breathe in between his assaults on my mouth.

His hands went into my hair as his lips went to my neck. The dress slowly slipped down my shoulders, exposing my collarbone and the top of my breasts, allowing me to take short uncontrolled breaths.

Swirls could be felt in the pit of my stomach, as he thrusted his tongue into my mouth, kissing me like the starved man he was. We made our way towards my bed. I held on to the top part of my dress so as not to expose my chest and he pushed me, making me fall backwards onto my soft mattress.

I watched as he removed his shoes, jacket and bowtie, throwing on the floor as he inched his way towards me as I was entranced by him.

He didn't waste any time, continuing where we left off. The kiss got so heated that I didn't even realize that my dress was halfway down my midsection, and I was lying on the bed bare chested.

Matteo started to kiss down my neck to my chest as his mouth to its time caressing each nipple, making a popping sound as my hands gripped his hair.

Oh, this felt so good, and I wanted more, as much as I could get. He was my boyfriend after all and we're both adults. He abruptly stopped as he glanced up in my direction.
