Wing Of Change
Chapter 73

After everyone have retired to their various houses with her family sleeping just across from theirs in the guest rooms for the night. Aria sat across Frank on the bed, staring at the precious stone resting against her slender finger. Still deep in thought.

“I didn’t have enough time to pick the best. We can always pick a better one later” he told her before settling beside her on the bed.

“What changed your mind?”

His eyes darted from her face and settled on the space between them on the bed. “I had a talk with the doctor and he confirmed the paternity test conducted when you were still in a frail condition. I had to be sure I wasn’t making a mistake”

He took a paused and reached for her face when she said nothing in reply and held it between his palms with his eyes boring into her distant ones.

“Forgive me my darling for not believing you sooner. Trust is a very big issue for me after everything that happened with that woman. I couldn’t bear to be fooled again”

“What happened between you two other than the fact that she left you at the alter”

“She took everything from me. My trust and just about everything that meant the world to me. Even my family. She ruined everyone lives”

Aria could see how hard it was for him to talk about his experience with that woman. But she needed to understand where he was coming from and without him explaining? She’d be unforgiven towards him.

“I’m not going to let that woman’s shadow destroy what we have but you have to be willing to give the one you love the benefit of doubt for this relationship to work. You hurt me terribly when you refused to believe this pregnancy to be yours and that is something that is really hard for me to forget”

“I know what I did and said wasn’t nice but am willing to do anything for you to forgive me. Absolutely anything”

She cocked a brow at him. Frank looked and sound desperate as hell but she wasn’t about to take advantage either.

He pulled at her palm and gave it a quick k**s and another and another causing her to giggle like a little girl.

When he reached the croak of her neck and the sweet spot behind her ear, she couldn’t resist any more as her neck began to arc for more of those k****s, sending shivers down the tips of her toes.

“Stop!stop it” she erupted through chuckles.

“Not good enough? You want more?”

He lowered her right back on the bed before she wiggle out of his grip.

“Stop it Frank! Am serious. Flying my whole family here and giving me those soul shattering k****s won’t get me to forgive you so easily so you better try harder Mr”

“Oh no?” Cocking his brow in a playful manner.

“Uhm mmm. Try again!”

Giving a careless shrug, he leaped for her and pulled her into his chest before claiming her mouth in a really really really dominating way and stealing whatever little protest she has left.

Aria spent the whole of that week staying at home just like Frank had wanted. He even got her boss to grant her two weeks of rest while he was constantly trying to get her to quit her job without much success.

She couldn’t go out in those few days of incubation, at least not without Frank wanting to come with. It’s like, he was becoming her personal nanny.

The house was large enough to host everyone yet she was home alone. Her family couldn’t stay more than three days at most as everyone had to get back to their lives.

During their three days of staying_her mom made sure to lecture her on the do and don’t, during pregnancy even though some sounded outrageously surreal but how could she argue? Mom knows best and far more experience.

Her dad on the other hand had Frank in a very serious talk in which her two brothers were acting as the sole witness. At least that’s what she thought because they seem pretty serious and attentive while Frank was constantly looking to her for a way out.

Lizzy made sure to drop by a few times. She wasn’t just going to be the maid of honour to her best friend but designing her gown has always been a dream come true for Lizzy.

Frank’s mom was not left out either. The elderly lady has been just as dotting as the rest of them. If she could have her way with convincing her son, she would have taken Aria to her house. The very moment she found out she was pregnant with her grandchild but Frank wouldn’t have any of it.

After breakfast was over that morning_she decided to talk Frank into allowing her to go over to her apartment and grab some of her personal things.

Aria would rather sleep in her old comfortable pajamas than the new fashionable pairs he got for her. Plus, she was really starting to feel the need to check up on her apartment.

She pulled off Frank’s oversized shirt over her head and placed into the laundry basket and picked up the one she wanted to wear for that day and stroll toward where the dressing mirror hung.

She glance back at Frank’s direction. He seemed to be emersed in whatever he was typing in the laptop to even pay attention to her naked parade across the room.

Frank paused after a while and looked up from the laptop on his lap. His eyes watching her every move and smirking at the back view he was getting.

Looking at a beautiful naked woman strolling around his bedroom is something he can really get used to.

He continued to watch with keen interest as she pulled her braids up in a bun before applying light make up on her face, followed by a l*p balm and it finally dawn on him to ask what she could be up to.

“Are you going out?” He asked with a raised eyebrow the moment she turned around to face him.

“I’m just going over to my place to pick up a few things before heading back. I won’t take long” she answered simply as she continued to fidget with the little button on the wrist of her blouse.

“Come over here let me help you with that”

Aria took two strides to where he sat and stretch out her wrist at him.

“Do you want me to come with?”

“Nope” making sure to pop the ‘p’

“Why not?”

She let go of his hand and took a step back and looked at the neatly placed button and back at him “I won’t be long plus you still have documents to file. Just go ahead and finish and I will be back before you know it”

She was about to hurry away before he held her back with a mischievous grin playing in his eyes.

“Ain’t you forgetting something my darling?” He has asked with a pout.

Aria knew exactly what he was driving at yet pretended to be as clueless as a duck.

“Something like what? Care to remind me?”

“With pleasure”

His lips claimed hers in one swift move as he began to nibble and bite playfully at it. His mouth tasted like the buttered cream they just had for breakfast as its taste was luring her senses and causing her mind to rethink her decision as to why she was about to leave this hunk of a man and step out.

She could feel the familiar heat rising at her core. Not to mention the flags of butterflies waving around at the bottom of her stomach and knew it was time to end it before her legs turn candle wax and melt into his arm_which would automatically put an end to her intended trip back to her apartment.

“Mmmm_mmmm” she mumbled against his lips trying to pull away.

“Not yet” he spoke through smile and continued driving her wild.

When he finally let go_Aria’s mind was pretty dilated and she knew it was time to run before she end up back on the bed and begging for a release.

“Are you sure you still want to go?” He asked. Biting at his bottom l*p seductively at her.

She shook her head a few times to clear her mind before leaning back down to grab her bag from the floor.

“Very sure my darling. I will be home for lunch” she planted a quick k**s against his lips before rushing out the door.
