Chapter 72 – Thinking, Fast And Slow (Sky‘s POV)
There were so many things I wanted to do with Anj here at the pool, and my imagination was running wild that I stopped swimming. Instead, I stood in the middle and lifted her hips effortlessly underwater, wrapping her legs to my hips. “This is not a good idea, Sky,” She whimpered, breathing out nervously as she held onto me tight. “If only I knew how to swim...” she stopped when I walked toward the corner steps of the swimming pool, sat on the first step, and let my eyes feast on her naked body. “I‘m never teaching you how to swim, pumpkin,” I said as I crushed my lips to hers and deepened the kiss. I smiled when Anj parted her lips, welcoming me and allowing my tongue to play inside her mouth. I knew she was lost in me again when she moaned into my mouth while her hands gripped my wet hair.
“Mooooommmyyyyy!” A scream startled us as if the swimming pool turned upside down and the water was thrown at us. Anj pulled away from me and her eyebrows knitted for a few seconds before she stood up. She went to the chair to get the bathrobe, wore it in a hurry, and dashed inside the house. I didn‘t have the chance to put on my clothes. Instead, I pulled out the towel from the chair and wrapped it around my waist on my way in. We found Selene crying. “What happened?” She asked calmly as she knelt on one knee. How could she be so calm in this situation? Her child is wailing as if the moon crushed the earth. Before she could answer her mother, we also heard the two girls crying.
She sighed, and I shook my head at her when she was about to stand.
“I‘ll check on them,” I said, walking past her to check the two. Lyra Helene was still sitting on the bed, but Leyanne was now in the doorway. “What happened?” I asked, turning my head to look at Anj, still pacifying Selene. Leyanne shook her head, sniffling as she peeked at her mother. “What do you mean?” I said, carrying her, getting her back to the bed. “I don‘t know why she‘s crying,” she said, hiccupping as she sniffled. “Then, why did you cry?” I wiped her tears as she lay her back on the bed and pulled up the blanket to cover half of her body. “Because Selene cried,” Lyra Helene answered for her. I wanted to roll my eyes at them. Did they know what they had just interrupted? It was only making me want her more.
Selene had finally stopped crying, but her head nestled in her mother‘s neck as she carried her back to bed. “Where did you go, Mommy?” Lyra Helene asked as she rolled to her side, copying Leyanne‘s position.
“Mommy and Daddy went swimming for a while,” she answered in her serene voice “Go back to sleep ” She said, and when Selene‘s back touched the bed, she rolled to face Lyra Helene and held her hand,
“Stop crying now, Selene We‘re here,” Lyra Helene promised adorably to her.
They smuggled closer, and Selene only closed her eyes when her sister pressed her forehead to hers
It was a peaceful few seconds wien Anj climbed down from the bed. “I‘m making tea. Do you want one?”
I nodded, wishing to tell her I‘d rather have another glass of whiskey than tea. I followed her to the kitchen, and as she prepared the tea, I sat on the chair and watched her.
“Did she say why she cried?” I asked her.
She pursed her lips, only her eyebrows raising up and down gave me the answer. “Should I have their bedroom renovated?” I was serious about giving the penthouse to her, a lavish gift I had never given anvone.
“Sky, you know we‘re leaving in the morning. We talked about this already, and I am telling you again, we‘re not seeing each other,” she said as if she was tired of this topic already.
“You haven‘t given me what I want yet, Anj,” I flickered my eyes at her, sweeping her from head to toe.
“What do you want, Shy?” Her voice was trembling as if she was about to cry.
“You. I want you.” I hope to tell her not to ask me why because I don‘t know the answer. I have not been this crazy since Angela. I have not wanted anyone this much that I was willing to give everything for her.
She went quiet for a while, and then she walked toward me. “You can‘t have me, sky. I can‘t even have myself,” she smiled sadly at me.
She raised her hand, combing my hair with her fingers. She must have thought of something that a hopeful one replaced her sad smile.
“Why do you have to be so handsome, Mighty Sky?” She said as she touched my lips. I smirked at her, hoping I knew what was running in her mind, “You‘re making me crazy,” She bit her lower lip as she moved one step backward but held my hand, tugging me outside the kitchen, heading to the study room. She sat on the couch and
crossed her legs as she shook her head when I was about to sit. “Give me a book.”
“A book?” I lifted an eyebrow.
She nodded. “I need to think. Only a book calms me as much as tea.”
I smirked, shaking my head as I randomly picked a book from the shelf and gave it to her, She chuckled softly as she read the title. “Think, Fast and Slow. Really, Sky?” She studied the cover and flickered her eyes on me. “You haven‘t read this yet.” “I did, once,” I answered. “It‘s a good book.”
She scanned the pages, reading them as if she was some kind of computer. After a few pages,
she looked up and took a deep breath. “I‘m keeping this,” She placed the book on the table.” I‘m done thinking. Now, let‘s do it fast.” I shook my head. “No, Anj, let‘s do it slowly.” I sat beside her on the couch. “The kids – ”
“Will not look for us,” She added while pulling off the ribbon of the robe. “Don‘t have sex with me, Sky. Make love to me.” Who cares about the difference? All that mattered to me was filling my desire to have her. I have no intention of keeping her, not even loving her.
