20. Bound By Desire

The kitchen table had files on it at the spot where he was working. "Hungry?"
"I have a meeting in an hour."
"Ah okay. I'll just go relax until you're done then."
"Alright." I went to the room and sat on the bed, holding my stomach. How long before he finds out? When should I tell him? Will he actually be mad? "Iris?" I turned to see him, looking at me. I was quick to move my hands. "Meeting was canceled, you okay?"
"Yea. Stomach just hurts."
"Nothing a hot shower can't fix."
"That does sound nice."
"Then maybe a hop in the jacuzzi after?"
"Mmm..............even better." He chuckled. "Let's go then." When we got to the shower, we peeled our clothes off and stepped into the shower. One look down at me and Damien's self control broke. His eyes darkened, as he pressed me against the shower wall. "Mmm...............I need you, Iris."
"Mmm................I'm yours, Damien." He lifted my chin, kissing me.
"Always forever mine." A while later, we were in the jacuzzi. I was in his lap and he held me close. "Feeling relaxed?"
"Mhm. Just thinking."
"About?"
"The future."
"I do all the time. I can't wait to see what will await us then."
"Maybe some kids," I muttered.
"What was that?"
"Oh nothing."
"Alright." He turned to Ben. "Please get Iris some mint chocolate ice cream, Ben."
"Of course, sir." He returned and we climbed out.
"Thanks, Ben."
"You're welcome, Ms. Iris." I sat at the table, shoving a spoonful into my mouth. Ben was gone and Damien sat in front of me.
"Mmm................."
"Iris, don't start that."
"Why not?"
"Don't tempt me."
"But-"
"So help me, Iris. I will do it. Right here, right now."
"Mmm...............so hot."
"If you start it I will finish it."
"Then...........Finish. It." He threw me over his shoulder, carrying me inside.
