Chapter 52
Chapter 51 When I left the room I was all smiles and my heart was on cloud 9. Never before in my lifehad I expected that this would be 1. 2. Adelaide Steyn, was going to be the director of the bookadaptation of the Mavelyn series. This was huge. There had been talks of the books becoming a moviebut no company had picked them up. Emma was very picky about who she wanted to trust with herbabies. And now Brandon, Matt, and Steve were entrusting me to bring it all to life. There was a scriptand I would need to look through it as soon as it got faxed to me. 1 got into the car Damon had gottenfor me. I took my phone out, unable to wait much longer. I opened the phone up to the group chat Ishared with Lucas and Jenna. It was ironically called the ‘Spill the Tea” even though Lucas loathed teawith a burning passion. Me: Guess what? Lucas: You’re about to make us some nice millions?? Don’tforget us, little people. Jenna: Lol, shut up Lucas. Lucas: What? You were thinking it too. “rolling eyesemoji* Jenna: Technically, she is a millionaire because of our Daddy Damon. Me: Ew, that name is notgoing to stick, Jenna. Can we use any other one besides that? Jenna: I like it haha Lucas: Me too, Imean have you seen your husband? He is a tall drink of temptation and lust! Me: Now that you two aredone thirsting after my husband, can I ask you something? Jenna: Yes? Lucas: All ears. Me: Howwould you guys feel about moving to LA for a little while? Jenna: ??? Me: I may have accepted a dealto direct the movie on the condition that they can get you guys a spot on the production team. I couldn’tfly to LA without my dream team now, could I? Jenna: What?! Lucas: OMG!!!! This is so huge I think Imay have just peed myself a little. Tell me this is real. Tell me this isn’t just some very sick and twistedvivid dream! I let out a little laugh as I read their messages. Me: This is very real, Lucas. You’re comingto LA baby! We continued to chat in the group until I got to my hotel where I later said my goodbyesand went upstairs to see Damon. In the excitement I had forgotten that this move would not only impactme but also him. We were a team-a unit. He said that he would follow me wherever I went and I trustedthat but I also knew that his whole life had revolved around Nevada. Both of ours had but I wasn’t asattached to it as he was. When I walked through the door I found him on one of the couches in theliving area with his laptop on his lap and a mug of coffee in his hand. One look at my face and he wassmiling. “You got it?” “Yeah. I got it, Damon.” I smiled back at him, making my way over to him and
making myself comfortable beside him. “Something’s wrong. I know that face you’re making.” Hemoved his laptop to the coffee table and turned his body in my direction. “Talk to me.” The smile slowlyslipped from my lips. “I want the job but it’s going to require me to be out here for a year if not more.”“And? I’m failing to see the problem here.” “And… I can’t just move you halfway across the country. LAis not Nevada.” “Of course, it’s not. Here you have the opportunities that you would never have inNevada.” “I know,” I intertwined our fingers together. “But what about you?” “What about me?” “I can’tjust move your life here” I dared to look into his eyes. Those big dark eyes had me in an iron grip. Evenwhen I had loathed him. I always thought there was something magnificent about the depth in his eyes.They told stories when he allowed them to be seen. “I want you to be happy too” He squeezed myhand gently pulling me toward him. “Do you want to know what makes me happy?” I waited for him tocontinue He pulled me into his lap so I was straddling and both his large hands rested on my hips. Histhumbs brushed the exposed skin of my crop top causing a small wave of sparks all throughout mybody “What makes you happy, husband My finger threaded their way into his silky hair I loved how wemoved with each other. The way our bodies spoke to each other. It was harmonious and so in sync“Seeing you, my wife, happy” He leaned forward kissing my lips softly. “I don’t mind being here for ayear and work can travel with me. When I need to be on the ground in Nevada then I’ll just fly there andthen come running back to you.” “Are you sure Heat traveled from the middle of my chest right down tomy core “When it comes to you, I’m always sure” Another soft kiss on my lips. “Besides, I had a feelingwe would be making the move here so I made some calls while you were in your meeting” “What?” Helooked over my shoulder. I followed his gaze to his computer and found him on a real estate website. Iarched my back toward the screen. I gasped. “You were looking for a house for us?” I turned back tomy husband who had the most adorable smile on his face. His eyes moved over my face, drinking inmy expression. “This is your dream. Adelaide.” He held me tighter. “I will support you no matter how farwe need to go or how long. I just know that as long as I have you by my side then I’ll be okay. So takethe deal and make your dreams come true.” “Really?” My excitement could not be contained. “LA is ournew home for the next year and a half?” “Yes, my love.” He smiled. “Home for me is wherever you are.If you want or go to Antarctica I’m with you. Till the wheels. fall off. Adelaide,” I grabbed my husband’s
face and kissed him with all that I had in me. This man was incredible and I could not ask for a betterpartner for me. I was only intending for it to be a short sweet kiss shared between us but my husbandhad other plans. He pulled me in tightly and deepened the kiss, angling his head. I moaned into hismouth allowing his tongue access His hands dipped below the hem of my top and they made their wayup my back where he unclipped my bra. When we pulled apart we were both breathless but I could seethe hunger in his eyes and I was sure that I was mirroring his expression. “Why don’t we celebrate thisaccomplishment of yours. Mrs. Steyn?” Heat pulled down into my core again. I could feel the slowpulsating sensation begin. Beneath me, I could feel his hardening length. “You read my mind, Mr.Steyn.” He claimed my mouth with his in a heated kiss. We spent the rest of the day cooped up in theroom celebrating my success. We moved through the entire room practically christening every surface.And when we were done we fell asleep and only woke again to eat. It was a good celebration. “Whenwill you get the script?” Damon played with my hair as we laid in the silence. I laid on my husband’schest completely naked beneath the sheets. With my stomach full and my hunger for him quelled Icould feel the tiredness closing in again. I stared out at the LA skyline. I could see all the lights from thevarious buildings and streets from here. Damon had booked out the penthouse suite so we were prettyhigh up. “They said likely in the next week and casting will follow after that. We can use the downtimeto look for houses.” “Anything in mind?” He kissed my temple drawing me in closer. “Somewhere with ayard and pool would be great but no overspending He chuckled at my warning. “This is LA, Adelaide.Everything here is overpriced, our home will be no different.” “I forget this must all feel like chumpchange to you. You’re a billionaire after all. With a capital B.” He laughed again, his chest rumblingunder me. “With a capital B.” My eyes began to close slowly as the tiredness took a tighter hold on me.“Hey, husband?” I yawned. “Yes, wife?” “I love you.” My eyes fluttered closed. The last thing Iremember was the faintest touch on my cheek before I heard his soft voice fill my ears. “I love you too.”I slipped into a dreamless sleep, waking in the middle of the night with a start. My heart kept thumping,and for no reason whatsoever, a thought popped into my mind. What if Damon wasn’t really happy?What if this move came between us? Maybe this was a big mistake
