Ruined With Me

CHAPTER 54

N O V A

As our hot moments ended, I started craving something sweet. Not anything specific, just something to satisfy the urge.

I gently unwrapped Alexander’s arm from my waist and quietly slid down from the bed. He shifted slightly, and I quickly sat back down, watching him peacefully sleeping on my lap.

I facepalmed myself, then brushed a few strands of hair from his forehead. He groaned in satisfaction as I started combing his hair with my fingers.

Moments later, I found him sound asleep again. I carefully left the room before he could grab me and bombard me with his endless questions. I didn’t want to spoil my surprise.

"Ivu!" I gasped when I saw him sneaking around in the fridge. He couldn’t reach the top shelves, so he was standing on a chair, trying to pull out the ice cream.

"Mum!" He gasped back, mirroring my reaction. He gave me a pleading look, and I melted. I could never say no to him—he’s my world.

"Don’t tell Papa, okay?" I whispered, and he quickly nodded, flashing a big, beautiful smile. I took out the ice cream for him and grabbed a chocolate for myself.

I sat him on the counter and took a seat beside him. He offered me a spoonful, and I smiled, remembering his first birthday celebration. It feels like he’s grown up so fast.

"Am I late to our family tradition?" Alexander’s voice startled us, and we both screamed in surprise. Ivaan climbed onto my lap, his eyes wide as he looked at his father.

"Oh, chocolate and ice cream? Didn’t we just eat something sweet moments ago?" He asked. Ivaan and I exchanged glances before turning to Alexander.

"Papa, Mum wanted chocolate."

"Xan, Ivu wanted ice cream."

We both blurted at the same time, and I cursed under my breath. Ivaan jumped out of my lap and dashed upstairs, leaving me alone with my dangerously charming husband.

"Ivaan, don’t forget to brush your teeth." Alexander called after him, and Ivaan shouted back, "Yes, Papa!"

"Xan, look—" I started, but before I could finish, his lips met mine. I grabbed his head, matching his rhythm as we kissed.

"You know, there’s only one sweet I love in the whole world." He murmured, his voice a low whisper against my skin as he broke the kiss.

I gazed into his eyes, feeling the warmth in them that spoke of love, care, and an unwavering desire to make me his, completely and forever, so deeply that it felt as though his soul was woven into mine.

"And what is that?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

"Your lips." As the words left his mouth, he leaned in, capturing my lips in a fervent kiss. His intensity took my breath away, stealing every bit of air from my lungs and leaving me utterly breathless.

I broke the kiss, gasping for a moment of air, only to dive back in, kissing him again, savoring the feeling, the sweetness of him.

So damn sweet!

"Alexander!" I gasped as he suddenly pulled me closer, wrapping my legs around his torso with an ease and confidence that sent a thrill through me.

Briefly breaking the kiss, I reached over and grabbed my chocolate, savoring the taste as he watched me, his gaze filled with playful desire.

But he didn’t wait long before his lips found mine again, reclaiming the space between us. Holding me tightly, he carried me toward our room, both of us locked in a blissful world of each other, our tongues dancing in rhythm.
