Is this destiny?

Chapter 1046 - Charlie's Childish Revenge

Emma and Charlie were silent in the car.

Emma was not sure what to say. She can see that Charlie is upset and that he is thinking about something, and she thought about apologizing but... she did nothing wrong. Why would she apologize?

Charlie is aware that he is angry, but he is not sure why. He knows that Emma is an attractive young woman, and it's not unusual that a man gets interested in her, and she was obviously not reciprocating, so why is he furious? He can't explain it.

He had a need to punch that man and to carry Emma away over his shoulder like a caveman.

Charlie thought how this is not the first time he saw a man interested in Emma. He remembered Brian.

Brian is someone who found Emma before Charlie. In a way, Charlie was used to the idea of Brian hovering around Emma, no matter how unpleasant that idea is.

This man today was someone new. Someone who intruded into his territory. HIS Emma! She is already his, completely. And that man had no business coming close to her.

Emma saw that they reached Charlie's villa.

Charlie didn't speak since they left White corp. HQ, but he sent few texts. Emma assumed that he texted the driver where to go. And since they are at his villa… he probably wants to talk in private.

…

In Charlie's bedroom…

Emma looked at Charlie's back and realized that whatever it is, it's serious. For him, at least. Why else they need to talk here instead of in the living room? Or in a restaurant?

He was running his hand through his hair repeatedly while trying to calm down.

Emma approached him and placed her palms on his back gently for a second before her hands moved around him and rested on his chest.

"Will you tell me what this is about?" Emma's question broke a long silence.

Charlie placed his hands over Emma's and appreciated the soothing feeling of her chest on his back.

"I'm not sure.", Charlie admitted. "I am furious, and I can't direct my anger anywhere."

"What are you furious about?", Emma asked even though she guessed that it's related to Dr. Arthur. But she wants to hear how will Charlie frame his explanation.

"I saw you with that man. How he was looking at you… and I was on a verge to snap. It made me wonder, why is he hitting on you so openly? Did you smile at him? Did you encourage him in some way?"

"And?", Emma asked with irritation. Is he accusing her of flirting with a random man without any proof?

"You tell me."

"Do you think that I encouraged him?", she asked impatiently, ready for a verbal showdown.

Charlie sighed and shook his head. He does not want to argue with Emma, but he wants to say what is on his mind. "Emma… I got angry when I saw that a man is interested in you openly and you are talking to him."

"How does that compare with your ex who is interested in you openly and you entertain her every Sunday morning?"

Charlie frowned. He realized that Emma is talking about Chelsea. He thought that she forgot, or that it does not matter, but now he knows better. He slowly turned to face Emma.

Emma was not sure why she brought up Chelsea. She said that she will not talk about it because she is afraid of his answer. But it came out of her because she was hurt. Why does he have such double standards of accusing her of flirting with a stranger when he was openly accepting his ex into his house until recently?! And Charlie told her that he loves her since his surgery. That means that he was entertaining Chelsea and all those other misses for months AFTER he was aware of his love for her.

"Emma… I…"

"There is no need to explain.", Emma lied. She wanted to hear that explanation, but she feared what it might reveal.

"No. There IS a need to explain.", Charlie cupped Emma's cheeks with his palms to force her to look at him. "Whatever happened with Chelsea or any other woman, ended a long time ago. Ever since I was a teenager, they were always around me, flattering me, ready to please, and when I ended up in the wheelchair, more than a year ago... they were gone. Everyone left because I lost my value. They assumed that my Uncle will find another heir, and they waited to see who will that be so that they can focus on him. I was miserable… I lost my ability to stand up and walk, and I lost all the people who surrounded me as well." Charlie let go of Emma's cheeks and scratched the back of his head awkwardly before continuing: "Shortly after the surgery, my Uncle announced that it was a success, and they started coming again like they didn't abandon me. And I wanted to punish them, so I allowed them to come here with high hopes while enjoying seeing them go back home empty handed. I guess it was some form of a revenge. I never touched any of those women, and I never made any promises."

Emma was relieved to hear his explanation. He said a lot, and it was all useful but what stuck to Emma is that he confirmed how for more than a year he didn't have any relationships. So, whatever he had with Chelsea is not recent.

"Your revenge was childish.", Emma said.

"Yes, I know. But it was the only thing I could think of to hurt them in the same way they hurt me. For years, I believed that they like me, but they only liked my status… my future status to be precise. So, I decided to give them an illusion that they have a chance to win me over. I enjoyed watching them fight over me while knowing that none can be the winner. And one day I realized that I need to stop, or I will lose you."

Charlie touched Emma's cheek with tips of his fingers while talking under his breath. "Emma… I don't want to lose you. If that happens, I will not survive."

Emma felt something swell in her chest, like her heart grew by few sizes in order to accommodate all the emotions which his words invoked.

Emma placed her palm on the middle of his chest. "Your heart is safe with me."

She got on her toes to kiss his smiling lips.

Charlie pulled her closer and deepened the kiss and she was not aware at what point he carried her to the bed.

His fingers swiftly opened the zipper on her hip, and he pulled her skirt down.

Emma's eyes stirred from desire when she felt his hot breath splashing on her neck while he removed his pants.

He was lowering himself slowly while kissing and sucking wherever his lips reached, and she knows already that he needs to satisfy his thirst before his hunger.

Emma's panties were still on, but Charlie didn't let that stop him. He nosed them and used his tongue over the thin fabric while keeping her legs apart.

"Oh, God!", she exclaimed breathlessly when she felt his teeth brush against her pleasure peak before he sucked vigorously, using more force than usually which was perfect because of the small padding provided by her panties.

Charlie pushed the fabric out of the way few seconds before her body arched while her soul exploded in ecstasy.

He lapped her sweet nectar like a thirsty big cat while making low, growling noises in his throat.

She let him pull her panties down, and enjoyed his kisses mixed with small bites on her inner thighs.

"Come up…", she called while her body still twitched slightly. Emma knows that what happened is only an appetizer and she looks forward to holding onto the muscles of his back while he serves the entrée.

"Not yet, I am still thirsty…", Charlie mumbled before burying his face between her thighs and starting another hurricane of pleasure.

Emma gladly accepted that the entrée will be served a bit later.
