HER

Part Twenty four

Asa
The remaining days we spent in the Maldives were one of the best days of my life with the most romantic moments with Kieran.
I had so much fun with him.
He was all smiles throughout our time there, and He was so caring and romantic.
We went on dates at night and lazied around the villa during the day.

We also spent most of the time having sex. Really good sex...
We couldn't seem to get enough of each other.

I was so fixated on him that it makes me think I might be falling for him...The thought of it alone was scary as fuck, but it also made me feel happy.
He makes me happy and I was going to embrace that feeling.

I didn't want to think about what might go wrong in the future or how I was probably making a huge mistake by putting my heart in the hands of a man like him.

I couldn't bring myself to care right now, But we would soon be on our way back to the real world and I was feeling a bit apprehensive that things might go back to the way it was when we get back home.

We had only a couple of hours left, we were just waiting for the driver.

"Asa" Kieran called, breaking me from my thoughts.
I turned my attention to him as he strode across the living room to where I was seated by the pool.
I couldn't help but admire how his toned legs looked in his tailored slacks.

Kieran's body proportions were perfect.
He was above 6 ft, with a lean and muscular body. Although he was more lean than muscular.
On top of that, he had a face that looked like it was carefully crafted by the gods.
He was perfect.
I felt my heart clench in longing.

Standing up from my seat to meet him halfway.
"Yes?"I answered as I got to him, "is it time to leave yet?"

"No, not yet"
"Come sit," he said taking my hand as he led me to the couch and pushed me down on it gently.

'What's wrong?' I asked as I sat down
"Nothing serious" he murmured as he dropped down beside me "I just need to go over something with you before we leave"

"Ok?"

"Look..." he started, running his palms down his face in a way that I would call 'nervous'...but it didn't make any sense because I doubt Kieran Preston could get nervous.

Ok, now I was really curious.

"I need to know if you've finally come to terms with the fact that we're married" He continued "I want you, and I want this marriage to be a real one"
"Your answer now will determine our direction from here on out" he added.

This was what he wanted to talk to me about.
Once again he's left me confused.

"We'll be living together from now on, I need to know where you stand with me. I don't want to live with doubts about where you stand with me" he continued when I didn't say anything, "so what will It be?"

I didn't know how to articulate my feelings into words at that moment, but the only thing I could do to convey my thoughts was to tilt my head towards his as I took his lips.

I don't know if this was me finally bending to his will, but I knew what I felt for him.
I think it will take a while before I'll be able to fully accept this change in our relationship, especially because of what he's done to me But this will have to do for now.

We will be going back to the real world soon, let's see how we survive the test of reality.

A week after we got back from the Maldives, I finally settled in at Kieran's penthouse.

It took a lot of time and effort to move and finally get my stuff organized at his place, but with the help of Yemi, kieran, and his younger sister Isabella, I was able to get settled quickly.
Isabella and I were able to build a grudging friendship during the wedding preparations, and I found her to be a really fun person to be around once you get to know her.

I don't know what I'll be doing with my apartment now that I do not need it any longer. I guess I'll lease it out or something.
Kieran has been nothing but caring and supportive and I loved this new side of him, But I didn't think it was a good idea to sell it when the future was still so uncertain.
It was a cynical and slightly depressing notion, but Alas.
I do still have moments where I just sit back and wonder how long this was going to last.

The major thing on my mind now that I'm settled in, was to focus more on D'orleans.
we had a new collection coming out soon, and I needed to be focused. Between the whole issue with Kieran when we first met, the Wedding preparations, and the honeymoon, I've slacked off for too long.

God! My life was going to be so hectic from now on. How do I balance running D'orleans together with being Kieran Preston's wife?
Being his wife alone was probably going to be a full-time job.
The parties and socializing were going to be endless and torturous.

God help me.
