103 Continuation of our Love
“It’s all thanks to you,” Adrian said with a smile.
“I don’t think so. It’s all thanks to Millie for being such a sweetheart. Seriously, I think you’re too harsh on her,” I replied.
“Am I? I think I might have spoiled her a little too much when she was younger. Now that she’s starting to grow up, I want to make sure that she is raised right,” Adrian said determinedly.
“If you say so. Anyways, if there’s nothing else, I should head back now...” I said quickly to excuse myself.
I could use a bath because my skin feels sticky with sweat from walking around the zoo all day. Going back to my little apartment to enjoy a shower before lazing around on my bed would be the perfect way for me to gather back my energy.
“Are you in a hurry?” Adrian asked.
“Umm...no, not really,” I replied as I wondered what was it that he wanted.
“Come with me for a bit. I’ll like to talk to you,” Adrian said, and I felt his hand at the small of my back.

.....
We stopped in front of a very large wooden door and Adrian opened it and gestured for me to go in. The room seemed to be a study or some sort with lots of books on shelves along the wall. There was a large set of comfortable-looking sofas and a very large wooden desk.
“This is my study. I have another room on the second floor too, but I like this one more. It’s cozier,” Adrian explained flawlessly.
“I see. There’re so many books...” I said admiringly.
“I like reading although most of the books here are medical texts and business-related books. So, probably not that interesting for most people...” Adrian explained.
“I think business is very interesting. I don’t know about the medical text, though,” I replied with a small laugh.
Adrian gestured with his hand for me to take a seat on the sofa and I did. I couldn’t help but wonder what he wanted to talk to me about. Perhaps it had something to do with our visit to the zoo today. I felt like I had a couple of things I wanted to discuss with him concerning Millie too.
“Adrian, about Millie...I think she’s a very nice girl and quite mature for her age. I know that you’re worried about her not having a mother and all but from what I can see, she seems very happy with the life that she has now,” I said, daring to voice my observations.
“Is that so? I’m glad that she’s happy. There isn’t much that I can do for her...about her mother...” Adrian replied as he sat down next to me on the sofa.
I realized that we were quite close, but I didn’t mind. At that moment, I was more concerned about how Adrian’s tone seemed to darken at the mention of his deceased wife. He seemed hesitant to even mention her and that sparked my curiosity anew. I hated poking my nose into other people’s businesses but is my contract boyfriend considered as ‘other people’. I had a feeling that knowing more about his deceased wife could help me help him and Millie better.
Even then, I was hesitant to ask...
“You told me that your wife passed away...” I said softly to test the waters.
“I did...” Adrian replied curtly.
This isn’t going to be easy. At all.
“I’m sorry. I guess I shouldn’t ask but if you don’t mind...” I began saying hesitantly.
Adrian smiled at me, and I hesitated to say anything more.
“You don’t have to be sorry. It wasn’t your fault that she died. It’s all in the past now, you don’t have to worry about it,” Adrian said firmly.
“Ok...” I agreed softly.
It was apparent that Adrian did not wish to discuss this topic any further and that he wasn’t willing to offer any information regarding his deceased wife.

His hand reached for mine before he brought my hand up and kissed the back of it tenderly. My heart felt like it was going to explode in my chest at the soft and warm caress of his lips on the back of my hand.
“Yes...?” I replied, still a little shock at the sudden shift in pace.
“Let’s continue where we left off...” Adrian murmured invitingly as his lips continued to kiss my hand.
“Ahh...” I moaned softly when his tongue began licking my palm.
I never knew that my hand was this sensitive. The way he held my hand and the way he was licking it and sucking on it softly made my mind hazy. My legs felt weak and when he took my middle finger into his mouth and sucked on it, I whimpered weakly.
“Adrian...” I called out his name, my voice coming out as a weak and pleading whisper.
“I told you not to call my name like that...” Adrian warned mockingly.
His lips began trailing sweet little kissing up the length of my arm before he pulled me closer to him. It tickled a little but that just made my body feel extra sensitive than it was before. I recalled how he played with me while we were in the aquarium earlier in the day. My body trembled as it recalled the pleasure from his touches.
“Like what?” I asked teasingly.
“Like...you want me to have my way with you...” Adrian replied seductively.
I let out a small cry when he pulled me onto his lap. If Adrian wasn’t serious about this before, I could tell that he was now. Perhaps it was partly my fault for teasing him. Things were moving a lot faster now that he had me sitting right on his lap. His lips found the side of my neck and began kissing it. I moaned and those kisses turned into small nibbles.
“Ahh...Adrian...” I moaned breathlessly as he blew seductively into my sensitive ear.
