love over the horizon.

Chapter 3

          I never knew dinner could be so beautiful in another country, apart from the usual visits Cassey and I have at the country club over at Manchester.

             "You have got to be kidding me!" I say basically laughing out loud, I push my hair back trying to catch my breath properly. When I look up I see Ken gazing at me the way he always did when I did something he found sexy. I blush at this point, trying to hide my face with my hair.

             It felt good to be with Ken gain. Being with him felt like old times, he really didn't change much, maybe a little maturity to the way he acts,but any other thing is still the same.

               "Okay tell me something that've changed over the years." Ken asks me, playing with the chicken breasts on his plate. This place really has the best Mexican food I would ever taste in my life.

              "Okay let's see." I say taking a sip of  water before continuing." I'm currently a twenty eight year old woman who's married to-" I didn't exactly want to talk about Wes with Ken.

               "I'm  a mother of two beautiful kids and still have the body of a twenty year old". I say waggling my eyebrows. Ken looks at me with a smirk on his face, I try to read his face but as always it was still impossible.

           "You're being awfully quiet. Why don't you tell me about yourself?" I ask him taking a spoonful of meat soup. This place has the best meat soup I've ever had, when I saw the name red peppers I thought it was gonna be hot and spicy.  Well it is spicy, but I was blown away.

          "I've been living in Mexico, living my dream of traveling round the world. When my mother practically called me from London telling me you got married to some asshat."He pauses looking at me carefully." Of course I wasn't going to let him get away with taking my girl, so I left my empire and flew back to London. "

          I was dazzled, his mother called him? I haven't talked to Mrs Andrews in like four years, after bumping into her at the supermarket.

         "You own an empire? Of what exactly?" He chuckles at my baffled look." Nothing illicit. Just some little deals here and a little contract there." He looks at me, as if trying to read my expression. Then his face suddenly turns serious." But once in a while I have to teach those who mess with me a lesson." He says staring at nothing with that deadly gaze of his, I suddenly feel tense. Oh lordy-lord-lord.

         He suddenly starts laughing out loud,  I could see the curious stares we were getting from the other people.

              "You could've seen your face! I was just kidding." He says taking a huge gulp of water before looking back up at me."We should probably get going". He says getting up. Wait what? No way, I haven't finished my food yet!

 

***************

                "Wow, you live here alone?" I ask him, quite impressed by his choice of style. He and Wes were so different, while Wes liked his deco medieval and homey. Ken had his home modern and and classy giving it that sophisticated and homey feel to it.

               Ken goes into a room leaving me behind in the hall. I walk into the same room I had seen him enter, only to realise it's a kitchen.

             "Why don't you take a sit?" He asks me. I sit on one of the sits by the grey crystal island." White or red?" I look up at Ken, trying to decipher what he just asked me.

            "What do you mean?"I ask." Wine." He states with a bored tone. Then he pours red wine in a glass chute then white wine in another. He starts walking up to me with the glasses, placing the one with the white wine inside.

            "How did you know?" I ask him, what I really wanted to say was then why Did you ask me? "I remembered when you told me  you liked white wine because it made you feel innocent . And you were happy I preferred red because I was your Mr dangerous." He states matter of factly.

    

            I smile at this, so he remembered? Then the question comes into my mind.

            "How did you get my address?" I ask him." You know, the same way I got your number." God this guy was trying to be smart with me.

            "Which is?" I ask raising one of my eyebrows.

         He chuckles to himself."well I got your number from the telephone directory." Of course! How did I miss that?

            "What about the address?" I ask feeling smug.

      

           "Well that was easy as well, your husband is not the kind of man to go unnoticed and you being some world class interior decorator made it easier." He says taking a sip of his wine, I take a gulp of mine.

   

            And here you were thinking he killed someone to get the information.
 

         I blush at my stupid mind. I start hearing music play around the room, that classic kind of music that makes the atmosphere seem professional.

           

             "Would you like to dance Mrs lina?" I look up into those crystal turquoise eyes of his. It wouldn't hurt to dance with him for old times sake, would it?

            "Yes you may Mr Ken. "I say taking his hands, I could tell he was a bit angry when he said Mrs , and I felt bad for making him go through this.

           I suddenly felt shy by our sudden proximity. His hands are placed on my hips, my head placed on his rock hard chest. He then rested his chin on my head, I could hear his heart beat and it was going really fast.

          He roams his finger along the curve of my hip, moving along the hem. I felt liberated, I felt dangerous and definitely sexy. He pushed me back abruptly towards the counter.

          I let my gasp of shock escape, the look in his eyes told me he wanted me and I liked it, although some part of my heart told me what was going on was wrong , but the funny thing was I didn't give a thousand fuck.

         He brought his nose close to my lips breathing hot air upon my lips, I part my lips in anticipation of what was to come. He got closer to me but before he kissed me he moved his lips towards my ear "I want you so much right now." He says his voice hoarse and rough.

       I almost die when he pushes himself off of me. I looked at him with a dumbfounded look, how could he do this to me?

     "Why did you do that?" I ask him almost out of breath.

        He chuckles, then looks at me with an amused look.

        "Trust me I want you too. But you're married." He said the last word with venom in his tongue.

       I blush when I realise he was right, I am married.
