Chapter 16: Forever.

He comes to pick me up at 8.

I had a lot of confusion as to what to wear so I ask my mum for help and she tells me to wear something formal.
I wear a black full sleeve maxi dress which has yellow sunflowers on it and it covers my entire body paired with black heels. I keep my hair open and add a little too much makeup.

"You look so pretty."he tells me.

"Thank you." I say and hug him.

We get to his house in twenty minutes.
His mom welcomes me at the door with a sweet gesture.

As I get into the house, Harry runs towards me."Momma."he says and jumps in my arms.

"How are you ?" I ask him.

He just smiles and walks towards Ethan. He is so small to be without a mother I think to myself.

All of us have dinner together.

"So when do y'all plan to get married?"Ethans' mom asks at the dinner.

"Soon mom."Ethan says and smiles at me.

After a pause, Ethan says,"Mia would be working after marriage."

"That's really great Mia."

"Thanks." I smile.

"What are you going to work?"

"I'll be a therapist at an institute. I just got the job yesterday."

"Oh wow. Two good things in one day. When are you joining then?"

"Next week."

"Good good." she says.

After dinner, Harry and his grandmother walks to the room to put Harry to sleep.
I and Ethan head towards his room.

"You sleep alone?" I ask.

"Yeah. I have work at night so Harry and mom sleep in the other room."

"I too will." I say abd smirk.

"Obviously you won't."he says and comes closer. I walk towards the bed.

He grabs my hand and pulls me back. I turn around stumbling forward against his chest. He cups my cheek and lifts my face up. Our eyes lock on each other until he closes the space between us, pressing his lips to mine. His tongue brushes against my lips and I grant him access to my mouth. His hands move to the back of my neck in desperate attempt to be closer to me as we kiss.

My hands move from his hair down to the hem of his t-shirt, gripping the fabric and pulling it over his head.

He walks behind me and slowly brings down the zipper of my dress. He trails kisses from my shoulder to my neck as my dress falls on the floor. His hands undo my bra, allowing it to join the dress on the floor. He cups my breast from behind me and I arch back.

I've never felt this.

His hands move down to my underwear and he hooks his thumb into them. He slowly takes them off. When I step out of them, he picks me up and sets me on the bed. He stares down at me as he begings undressing.

I have no self control right now.

"Ah-." I cry out with pleasure as his mouth presses against the most sensitive part of my body. His tongue caresses my body and I forget about everything. But his touch is soon gone. Kneeling between my parted thighs, he kneels down and kisses my lips lightly.

"Ethan."I whisper.

"Hmmm?" he hums in response.

"I need you to go slow."

He nods." Anything for you."

When I first feel him, I squeeze my eyes shut. Slowly, oh so slowly, he makes us one. He pushes himself against me and then trails feather-light kisses along my jaw. Our pace is slow until I allow myself to be comfortable. He quickens the pace and it isn't long enough until we come apart.

Our bodies stay attached until we catch our breath.

"I love you so much." he says

I whisper," I love you."

"Stay forever, okay?"

"Forever boss." We giggle and kiss.
