Loving Madeline

Chapter 38 - He Will Love Me

Madeline's POV

When I wake up, I look at the clock on the nightstand, and I realized it is still two o'clock in the morning, but I haven't seen Hunter beside me in the bed. I felt sad because everything seems so alright, and then suddenly his mood changed, and I don't even know why. I can tell something is going on with him, and I am positive it is about his past. I don't want to dig into his history, but it made me so curious why he became like this. I wouldn't say I like that he suddenly turned cold, but I want to help him. I am worried about him, so I got up from the bed and looked for him.

I find Hunter sleeping on the couch, and I get back to the room and get a blanket and cover his body. And when I am on my way to get back to the master's bedroom to go back to sleep, I heard him growl and moaned, and it sounds like he is in pain, and I realized he was having a nightmare. I want to wake him up when he called someone's name, and I am shocked, and it was as if I had become a stone that I couldn't move my body.

"Rebecca!! Please don't leave me, Rebecca!" He said, and I can tell he is dreaming about her, and he is begging her not to go, and now I realized he has someone in his past, and her name is Rebecca, and I wonder now if she is still communicating with him, or have they lost communication? And it shocked me when I saw tears poured down on his cheeks.

I am standing in the living room watching him as he calls the love of his life, and I know I don't have to feel this way, but if he has someone he holds dear in his heart, who am I into his life? What could be my role in his life? A substitute wife? I should have asked Cal if Hunter have been married before. I walked back to the bedroom with a heavy heart. Hunter Divenson made my innocent heart experienced different kinds of raw emotions. He made me feel loved, yet he suddenly became cold. He excites me, and he ignites something in me, but now I don't understand him at all.

No matter how I wanted to go back to sleep, I can no longer doze off because he occupies my heart and mind. I know I am now marrying him for love and the debts of my aunt. And I don't know until when I can survive at the Divenson mansion. The soft tapping on my shoulder awakens me, and I felt glad I was able to go back to sleep. And when I open my eyes, I saw Hunter standing beside my bed, and he is already dressed up with his jeans and shirt again.

"I am sorry, Maddie, I hate to wake you up, but we need to go back to the estate." He said, and I remember what happened to him at two o'clock in the morning, and when I look at the clock, it is still six o'clock in the morning. I am not in the mood to say hi to him since I am still hurt about the sudden change of his attitude and, most of all, his mystery girl.

I stood up and avoided his gaze, and I change my nightdress quickly, and I choose to wear an ankle-length dress since we are going back to the mansion; I understand I need to dress up with the proper dress code. I put my things on my backpack, and he tried to get it away from me, but I hold it firmly.

"I can take this." I said in a cold tone, and if he wants to show me this kind of attitude, I will show the same to him. It doesn't mean he owns me yet. I still have my freedom to react towards him, and I am just glad he walks away from me, and I followed behind him. I didn't let him open the car door for me the moment we reach the car. I got inside and fastened my seatbelt. Before we leave the villa, a middle-aged woman arrived, and Hunter got out of the car and talks to her for a while; and I can see him smiling genuinely at her, and I realized he could smile at other people and not at me.

He gets back to the car and drove away from the house without a word. We arrived at the Divenson mansion, and I hate to admit that I am starving, and as I get out of his car, I saw Lily running towards me. I can't hold my tears, I cried because I saw her, and I realized how I missed her, but the truth is I am crying because her brother hurt my feelings.

"Oh, Madeline!" She said while she hugged my waist tightly.

"Lily!" I said as my tears fall on my cheeks.

"I missed you so much!" I added, and I can tell the little girl is crying too.

"I miss you too!" She replied, and she takes my hand, and we get inside the mansion. I am just glad I haven't seen anyone in the living room. We climbed the grand staircase, and I can feel Hunter is following behind us.

We get inside my room, and before I can lock it, Hunter gets inside, and I hate to admit that his intense gaze is melting my resolve.

"Lily, I need to talk with Maddie for a while. You will have all the time together later because I need to go to the site today." Hunter said to his little sister, and she nodded, and she said goodbye to me. And I am shocked that he locked the door, and I suddenly felt nervous.

"Madeline, I am sorry what happened last night." He said, and he searched my eyes, but I look down on my feet.

"It is okay, I understand." I said, and I want to ask him who Rebecca is, but I am afraid his mood will change again.

"Look at me, Maddie, " He said in more than a whisper, and I slowly raised my head. And he moves closer to me until we are an inch away from each other, and before I know it, Hunter is kissing me hungrily. I hate myself for kissing him back eagerly, and I know why I am doing this because I want Hunter to forget Rebecca, and I want him only to think about me. I mirror his every action, and I let out a soft moan as he trails kisses on my chin down to my throat and my collar bone until I didn't notice he pulled down my dress, and it is now on my waist, and I felt him unclasped my bra, and I felt it fell to the ground.

I realized I am now standing in front of him half-naked, and when he caressed my breasts with his strong hands, I can feel the electricity travels my entire torso, and I can feel a different sensation, and when he cupped my breasts, I can't stop myself to tilt my head and give him full access.

I find myself undressing his T-shirt, and I can't stop admiring his toned chest and abdomen. He pulled me closer to him, and he captured my mouth hungrily until I didn't realize we fell to the bed. He kissed me softly on my lips, and he swirled his tongue inside my mouth, and when Hunter sucked my tongue, I can't stop myself from moaning.

"Allow me to make you feel good, my sweet Madeline." Hunter declares as he continues to suck and played my tongue with his tongue. And then he nibbled my lower lip, and he trails kisses to my chin and my earlobe, and I can feel I have goosebumps all over my body. It feels so good, and I wonder how it feels to make love.

When he continues to kiss me back on my throat again down to my supple breast, I tightened my grip on the sheets. When he sucked my erect nipple, I close my eyes and arched my chest to him so he can have complete access. And I felt him kissed and sucked my other nipple, and my eyes rolled back in my head, and I let out a soft moan. I raked my fingers on his short hair as he continues to please me with his tongue, and I can feel the rapid beating of my heart, and he really makes me feel so good that I don't want him to stop, and suddenly I can feel his phone vibrated on his pocket.

"Damn, Calixto, and he's good with timing." He said as he stood up from the bed and fished out the phone from his pocket.

"Hello!" He answered his phone with irritation in his voice.

"Okay, I will be there in less than thirty minutes." He said and ended the call.

"I am sorry, Madeline, there is some problem at the site." He said, and he offers his hands for me, and when I take them. He pulled me up, and he kissed me on the lips again before he looked at me one more.

"I have to go now, Maddie, and see you tonight. I know I have been a jerk, but please don't run away again, or I will be crazy." He said, and I get my bra from the floor, and I put it back, and I pull up my dress again as he searched for his T-shirt, and he put it back on his glorious, perfect body.

"Enjoy your time with Lily, " He said, and I nodded because I am still embarrassed that I let him see me half-naked, and not only that, he kissed my breasts, but I enjoyed all of it, and the truth is I want more of him. I know I should not feel ashamed if I liked it because Hunter will become my husband soon. Whatever his problem is, I will help him whatever it takes, and I hope Hunter will let me help him or heal him. And I wish I will know everything about her so I know where I should place myself.

I know he should reconcile with his past, or else we will never have a happy married life. Still, I promise myself once I will become his wife, I will never leave Hunter, not because I am his wife, but because I am in love with him, and I care about him, and I hope he will open up to me, and he will learn to love me the way he had loved Rebecca.. I am just a replacement bride or wife for now, but I will make sure Hunter Divenson will fall in love with me.
