CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX
OLIVIA
I DIDN’T know how we were able to enter the guest room without breaking our rough kiss, but the moment he pushed me on the bed, I felt the intense fire engulfing my whole body. He started removing his clothes, and I could not help but gasp for every piece of clothing he had taken off. His body was truly stunning. His broad, chiseled chest was carved perfectly, just like his six-pack abs and muscles. Without second thoughts, he removed his boxers and was completely naked in front of me.
He stood on the side of the bed in all his naked glory, seemingly proud of it. I caught my breath. I knew to myself that I had seen him naked multiple times already, but every time we ended up doing it, it always felt like it was the first time. The excitement and arousal never seemed to slow down a bit. In fact, it was getting more intense with each passing night.
“Undress yourself,” he said, more like a command using his deep tone of voice.
My knees turned to jelly under his intense gaze, but at the same time, I could feel my hormones raging within me, urging me to go deeper and harder with him tonight.
“As you wish…” I replied, my voice came off so sexy that he clenched his jaw as his reaction.
I pushed myself to my feet and began unbuttoning my v-neck sleeveless top, all while maintaining eye contact with him. He looked at me with a serious expression on his face. A combination of lust and desire could be seen in his oceanic pair of eyes. Then I started unbuttoning my trousers and allowing them to fall down to my feet. With only my underwear and bra left, I felt I was completely naked.
The room was getting cold, and I felt shivers running down my spine. The thought of not being pulled closer to him had my body on the verge of quivering, but then he walked towards me, embraced and kissed me on the cheek. His hands brushed against my back and traveled all the way down to my feet. When his fingers slid inside my underwear and made their way to my soft spot, I exhaled with utmost pleasure. I could have sworn I had lost my sanity when I felt him rub me once again.
My heart and pulse were both pounding aggressively. The way he wanted me to be pleased made me go insane. I wasn’t sure if this was how he’d tried to please Reese in the past, but goddammit, he was so good that I’d be willing to live as Reese for the rest of my life just to experience this level of pleasure.
“You don’t need this anymore,” he remarked and in one swift move, he was able to remove my underwear. It was only then when I realized that he knelt down in front of me, his face was in front of my sex. “Sit on the bed and spread your legs widely…”
When I was told to sit down on the bed, I did as I was told and spread my legs widely. Even though he was still on his bent knees, his hand reached out for my legs, spreading them even further. As I realized I had put myself in too much of a vulnerable position in front of him, my cheeks began to flush with embarrassment. As I anticipated his next move, my entire body trembled with excitement.
He looked up to me. “Stay still.”
I only nodded as a response. When I felt him slowly positioning himself in between my thighs, I shut my eyes and bit my lower lip firmly. My arms leaned on the bed, slightly clutching the bedsheets when Chase started to lick me down there. His stunt made me see so many butterflies on the ceiling, as if I was brought to a world full of nothing but musk and pleasure.
“You are so wet, wife…” he whispered with a chuckle, then continued what he was doing. “Your musk smells so good…”
When I let out a moan, I arched my back and spread my legs wider so that he could go even deeper. I could feel the electrifying bolt passing through me, which caused me to take a deep breath and hold it. Chase didn’t stop what he was doing, and he even used his tongue to attack the g-spot on my flesh. One groan was followed by another… and another… and I’d already lost track of how many times I moan his name.
I wasn’t even aware of how my body was reacting to him at the time. Whatever it was, I just knew that my hips were beginning to push in response to each of his tongue’s thrusts, and I was grinding in time with him until I moaned loudly and my body convulsed as I reached my climax. It was as if I had thrown myself on the bed. When I was lying there, I took a deep breath and exhaled.
A few seconds later, Chase crawled on top of me.
“How was it?” he asked with a mischievous smile on his lips.
“A pro is asking me that question, really?” We both chuckled.
He buried his face in my neck as we snuggled for a moment, but after a few minutes, he started sucking my neck once again.
“I am not yet done with you, wife…” he said and then his leg went to my thighs parting them and with one swift move he entered me, making me feel another surge of fire running through my body again.

WE SHOWERED together right after that one steamy moment, then cuddled on the bed for almost an hour before we went back to our own room to keep Mikael accompanied to bed. Chase was able to fall asleep immediately, and I could not take my eyes off of his God-like face, not even for a bit.
Many thoughts whirled around in my head as I looked at him, which kept me awake throughout the night. Whatever the reason, my heart felt like it was being ripped apart because, no matter how hard I tried to deny it, I was all too aware that I’d grown close to Chase and that I harbored special kinds of feelings for him.
It wasn’t love… at least not yet. But it scared me because I was convinced that it could go deeper and that it would eventually reach that depth. And even if I wanted to stop it from happening, I wouldn’t be able to do so because of the way our relationship was set up. In his eyes, I was his wife, and it was all part of my plan to suck money from his pocket. In order to fulfill my role, I had to pretend that I was madly in love with him. But how could I avoid falling in love with him?
As time went on, I realized that the thought of falling in love was terrifying, indeed, especially if you were in love with someone you shouldn’t have fallen in love with in the first place. It felt as if you were betraying yourself and turning your back on what you believed to be the correct path.
When I looked at Chase, a part of me was telling myself that I couldn’t continue to deceive him any longer. It was the small voice of an angel, pleading with me to stop deceiving an innocent man who only wanted to be loved and accepted. My sadness came from the realization that no matter how much the small voice tried to direct my actions, the larger part of me would never comply. simply because I had no desire to return to my former life.
I hoped that Chase would never find out…
I sighed, my frustration evident. I shifted my weight and raised my eyes to the ceiling. Despite my best efforts to sleep, my mind couldn’t seem to shake a slew of disturbing thoughts that were keeping me awake. In the end, I decided to get up and walk out of the room to get some fresh air and to clear my head.
“Is it because he’s good in bed?” I asked myself, trying to figure out why my heart harbored a special emotion towards Chase. “Or is it because he is handsomely kind?”
I went to the kitchen with those questions in mind. I shook my head, knowing full well that I wouldn’t be able to respond to myself right then and there. I went to the refrigerator and got a bottle of water, which I then drank. After that, I made my way to the living room and sat on one of the couches.
My gaze was fixed on the gift that I had placed in the center of the table. It was sent for Reese… I was curious as to who had delivered it while we were away. My interest had been piqued. I got to my feet and began untying the red ribbon around it.
When I opened the box, the first thing I saw was Reese’s picture, whereas her face was crossed out using a black pen. The entire picture had some fresh blood, and there was a note written out of blood too.
YOU’RE GOING TO DIE, REESE!!
When I realized what was inside the box, I felt a rush of fear rush through my body. As I threw the box away, I gasped for air and then screamed aloud.
“Chase! Oh my goodness, Chase!”
It was as if the anxiety had begun to creep into my body, and all I could feel was terror and panic at the same time. I ran upstairs, sobbing uncontrollably because of the fear of being threatened. I stumbled to my feet and, in an instant, I felt as if it was Doom’s Day. I was so nervous at the time that my vision went blurry and my breathing went ragged.
“Chase! Chase, help me!” I cried as I began having trouble breathing.
I tried to stand up on my own, but my entire body was quivering that all I stumbled right away. I heard a door open followed by some footsteps.
“Reese!” It was Chase, who ran quickly to help me.
I was crying and catching my breath all at the same time.
“Ch-Chase… Someone wants… someone wants to kill me…” My voice was shaking and then I pointed to the living room where the box was. I screamed out of fear just when I saw the note once again.
“Reese, calm down. I am here.” Chase soothed me, caressing my back for me to calm down a bit but the fear wouldn’t leave me.
I felt him carrying me and rushing me to the room. He put me down on the bed and held both of my cheeks.
“Reese, look at me. Breathe with me…”
I shook my head, tears falling from my eyes as I kept running out of breath.
“Reese, please. Calm down, breathe with me…” Then he started inhaling and exhaling in front of me.
In spite of the fact that my entire body seemed to have gone numb, I tried to imitate what he was doing. I took deep breaths and exhaled slowly, still crying, as he assured me that everything was fine and that he would take care of it. Even though my breathing returned to normal a few minutes later, the terror that someone out there wanted me dead lingered in the pit of my stomach.
“Chase, who is it? Who do you think it is? It is a fucking death threat!” I almost yelled out of frustration which woke up Mikael this time.
Chase couldn’t utter a word. I knew that he was shocked too, but rage was evident in his eyes. He was seemingly trying to think, and his lips formed a thin line after giving the situation some thought.
“Chandria…” he uttered in anger, then he stood up.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to my father’s house. Chandria, fuck!” He screamed. “She’s the only one whom you had an argument with. I am sure she’s the one who is messing with you! Fuck, I will not let this slide!” Rage fueled him and he immediately stormed out of the room.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“Chase!” I panicked. “Chase, come back here!”
I already knew what he was going to do. The fact that my knees were turning to jelly did not stop me from getting up and carrying Mikael with me to follow Chase.
“Chase!” I called him as I went downstairs with Mikael.
“Momma, what’s going on?” Mikael was on the verge of crying.
“Ssssh, don’t cry, please…” I sobbed and ran towards the door.
Chase was walking quickly to the car, and I made every effort to run as fast as I could because there was no way I could stay at home knowing that someone out there was waiting to kill me at any moment.
“Reese! Stay home and lock all the doors!” he commanded.
“NO!” I screamed. “We’re coming with you!”
