Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

Chapter 99 - Proposing Love At The Late Night

Same night in Florida

Ruby had screamed in fear as she saw bad visions in her dreams. She was someone lying in the pool of blood on the floor. 

Steven, who was sleeping in the adjacent room, heard her screams and hurriedly unlocked the door between their rooms. He ran into her room and noticed her pale and sweaty face. She was crying and screaming in her sleep.

He sat on the edge of the bed and patted her cheeks. She sat up and hugged him tight.

" You are safe with me," he said, patting her back.

She opened her eyes and looked at Steven's face. " I had a dream that someone was lying in a pool of blood on the floor."

"It is alright, you don't need to be scared of it," he said.

"No, I am scared of it. I don't want to see it again" she cried again.

She placed her head on his chest and closed her eyes as he stroked her. She felt that she was safe in his arms. 

" If you want me to stay with you. I will be here to night" he said, hugging her.

As she was scared, she needed him badly. So she nodded her head hesitantly. She couldn't believe that she was going to be alone with him. Her heart beat faster, and her palms began to sweat. 

She had a bad flashback of the day when her mother was killed. She saw her mother lying on the floor with blood gushing from her neck. She would never forget the screams of her mother and the look of terror on her face.

"What's wrong?" Steven asked.

"It was a bad dream," she said.

He patted her back, and said, " I am here with you. You are safe with me."

She smiled and laid her head on his chest. Her eyes closed, and she felt the world falling away.

Steven held her close. He hugged her tight, and she felt safe in his arms. He felt her heartbeat against his chest, and he was afraid to lose her.

He felt her heart racing, and he knew that she was afraid. He gently stroked her hair, and whispered soothing words in her ear.

He kissed her forehead and said, " I will always be here with you."

He gently laid her on the bed, and she looked up at him.

" Are you comfortable?" he asked.

She nodded and said, " You are presence make me feel safe"

He smiled and said, " I am glad I can make you feel safe. You don't need to be afraid of anything. I am here with you, and nothing can harm you."

He pulled back the covers, and she saw that she was wearing a nightgown. He controlled himself with his arousing desire in his body and took a deep breath to calm himself. 

He lay beside her, and he felt the warmth of her body and the softness of her skin. He was afraid to touch her, afraid of what would happen if he did. He could feel his erection pressing against his clothing, and he knew that he had to control himself. He couldn't let his emotions get the better of him. He controlled himself with his arousing desire in his body. 

She smiled at him and closed her eyes. Her face looked pleasant with his presence. Slowly she drifted to sleep.

After a while, he opened his eyes and saw her sleeping peacefully placing her hands on his torso. He doesn't understand what was the dream she was so scared of. He wanted to know what was bothering her. He remembered her words that she was not away from her family when told about the business trip. 

Slowly she entangled her legs on him moving closer to his body. It was the most difficult task for him to keep his hands away from her. 

" Ruby… Why are you testing me ! Huh? " He whispered.

All of sudden, she opened her eyes and looked at him. She noticed their position and moved away from him in a hurry for which she fell on the floor. She hissed in pain, placing her hand at the back of her spine.

Instantly, he stood up from the bed and lifted up in his arms. He placed her on the bed. 

" Are you hurt ?" he asked her with concern.

She nodded her head as NO not looking at his face. He examined her face. He turned her body and made her lie on her stomach. He slightly moved her nightgown and checked her back.

As soon as he touched her spine, her body shivered. He felt pain with the hurt and pleasure with his touch. He gently massaged her back while rubbing with his palms. Then he realised that he massaged without her permission. He had no bad thoughts in his mind but was concerned about her.

" Sorry, Ruby. I didn't mean to touch you in another way. " He reasoned.

" Sleep now. I am going to sleep in my room" he said.

She stopped her holding his wrist and looked at him.

" Why do you care for me so much? Your care doesn't look like professional care for me!! " She asked him.

" I like you Ruby. Your presence makes me happy. I was attracted to you at first sight when you came to interview in my company. That's why I created a post of personal secretary and gave you that position to stay close with you. " He explained.

" A few years back, I used to flirt with every girl who ever I met. Not only that I love to spend nights with different girls to have sex. But after meeting you, I want you in my life. I don't know what these feelings are in my heart for you. If it is love then. …"

" I love you….Ruby. I love you so much. I want you in every moment of life.. " he said kneeling on the floor looking into her face.
