Chapter 67 – Brain On Top, Heart Under (Anj‘s POV) Just a quick one! How fast is a quickie?
Then I realized I didn‘t care when my back felt the cabinet‘s coldness as he gently pushed me while kissing me savagely on my mouth. Only Sky could make me lose my mind, get wild and create a conflagration in my body.
I moaned, arching my body toward Sky when his lips trailed the slope of my mounds, gliding toward my hard rosy peaks while his hand excitedly moved to my underwear. I could feel his lips curving a smile when he discovered how wet and ready I was for him.
My hands reached for his trousers, but I stopped, maybe including my heart, when I heard a click.
“Mommy?” A voice that, for the first time, I could not identify who owned it. Leyanne? Lyra Helene? Selene?
“Shhiitt!” I hissed, pushing Sky away, but before I could run to the bathroom, the door creaked, making me jump to his big closet, hiding from my daughter and joining his dress suits hanging peacefully inside. “Daddy, where‘s mommy?” Not breathing, I finally recognized Lyra Helene‘s voice. “In the bathroom,” He lied. “Is something wrong, baby?”
“Nope,” She answered, imagining her playing with her fingers in the closet doors as I listened to her tapping on the wood. “Did Uncle Finn ask you to come here?” He asked with a hint of suspicions in the tone of his voice.
“Uh–huh! Uncle Finn asked me to follow Mommy here. He said Mommy might get lost, and he‘s scared somebody might eat my mommy,” she explained adoringly to her father. “Yeah, right. I didn‘t know Uncle Finn is so sweet and caring.” I heard him breathing out.” That‘s why I followed Mommy here. I’ll call mommy; better wait in the dining room, baby.” “Nah–uh!” I could imagine her shaking her head. “Uncle Finn said I should wait for you and Mommy, and I should not go back there without you.” “Really?” Sky
went quiet for a few seconds. “Okay then, let‘s wait for Mommy in the bedroom.” I heard him taking a deep breath again. “Pumpkin, hurry up. We don‘t want the others waiting,” he yelled as if I were really in the bathroom. I bit my lip, wanting to laugh at him. I closed my eyes and covered my mouth with my hand as I asked myself, what on earth am I doing? I want to escape from him, but whenever he kisses me, I go nuts and wild. I only crawled out of his closet when I heard the door opening and closing. When I breathed out, I felt like I had exhaled all the air in my lungs.
Wiping the sweat on my forehead, I tried to remember where he had placed the shirt he had taken from me. I found my clothes and bra in the hamper, not the shirt. Sighing, I pulled another T–shirt and shorts from his cabinet and wore them in a hurry.
Before going out, I made a quick visit to the large mirror and checked on my reflection. I had
no time to open his drawer to look for a comb or hairbrush; I brushed my hair with my fingers, pulling them together into a ponytail. As for the final check, I pulled the elastic waistband of the shorts I was wearing, checking and making sure I still had my underwear. I pushed the brim of my eyeglasses, took a deep breath,
and made sure my brain and heart returned to their proper places.
“Brain on top. Heart under,” I heaved a sigh before walking out of the closet room. I found the shirt I was looking for when I saw Sky sitting on the edge of the bed while Lyra Helene sat comfortably on his lap while she told him about something.
He raised his head and curved a naughty smile at me. “What took you so long, pumpkin? They were scared you might get lost and eaten alive inside my closet.” I swear my face was redder than apple. I took Lyra Helene from him and carried my daughter in my arms before I could hit him on his arm.
“What were you telling daddy?” I asked her as we headed out of the bedroom.
“Daddy said not to tell you,” she whispered. “He said it‘s our secret.”
I turned my head to Sky and sneered at him, but he only smiled and mouthed, ‘You‘re hot!‘ My cheeks flushed red again, thanking Lyra Helene came, but hating that it was only making me want Sky more.
“Did Mommy get lost?” Finn asked when we reached the dining room. He pulled the chair on the head seat. “Please sit here, Ms. Perry,” he said before pulling another chair for Lyra Helene. “And for the bright star.”
I sat Lyra Helene on the chair, just on my right side, before sitting down. I glanced at Leyanne sitting across from Lyra Helene. “Say your graces now,” I reminded her when Sky sat beside her.
Her eyebrows knitted. “It‘s Selene‘s turn now to say graces.”
I turned to her, and as if an adult, she nodded her head and closed her eyes. “We thank thee for the delicious food on the table, for eating lunch with Mommy, Daddy, Uncle Finn, Leyanne, Lyra Helene...” She stopped and opened one eye when Finn talked. “How long does this take? I‘m hung–” He stopped and pressed his lips when he noticed Selene eyeing him. I could see Sky sucking in his lips to stop himself from bursting into laughter. Selene cleared her throat as she continued. “Thank you for the puppies, the roses, the cake, the good weather, and –”
“Mommy, I‘m hungry already,” complained Leyanne. “Amen,” Selene said, finishing the prayer right away when she heard Leyanne complaining. She opened her eyes and smiled at me.
Finn moved to his side, toward Selene. “You should have included in your prayer that your mommy will give me a good grade on my paper.”
She tilted her head at him. “But you said you‘re hungry.” Sky chuckled, shaking his head as he rose to his feet to fill Selene‘s plate with food. I watched him talking to each of them as he put food on their plates, kissing the top of their heads,
talking sweet things if they finished their spaghetti and pizza.
My heart was aching as we ate our lunch, and my big brain was getting haywire again as I thought this was what a complete family looked like.
