My Love Until the Last Goodbye by Alut

Chapter 0973 After a long and intense afternoon, all the Bartz, Palmer, al now Evans women were finally satisfied with the idea of that beautiful dress. Twas running out-only six days remained until the wedding-but the team Marcus Bartz had hired was professional and, of course, well-paid for their services. There was nothing to worry about. After wrapping up that exhausting day, Marcus returned the children he had been looking after, promising himself never to get into such a mess again.

Celeste, though she would have loved to chat with Aurora a bit longer, had to leave. Her little ones were restless, and it was tto go home. They exchanged phone numbers before she left with Aria, Diana, Danielle, and the newly acquainted Ellie, whom John had just introduced.

Serenity, on the other hand, had already let them know she wouldn't be coming horne that night, which meant Alden had the evening off. He took the opportunity to go out with Adam, who excitedly talked about how captivated he was by the country. He also took the chance to ask about his father, which surprised Alden-he was still trying to process the shock.

Adam was the spitting image of Theodore, just much younger, more easygoing, always smiling and full of energy. Valerie looked around her house, which had been full of people all day and still was. That sight filled her with satisfaction, and her thoughts drifted to the past-to the reason she and Marcus had cback here in the first place.

"My love... You look exhausted!" Valerie said, watching her husband.

"I'm dead! Next time, I'm hiring a nanny team too. In fact, I'll hire them for the wedding. Taking care of three big kids and four babies... At least Laura's daughter didn't come, or imagine that." "By the way, has our daughter left already?" Marcus asked, looking a bit puzzled.

"No, Marcus, she's still downstairs with Laura. The only one who left was Celeste, along with her mother-in-law and the others. The girls looked tired and a little uncomfortable." Valerie felt a strange sensation as she said that, but she knew she had to get used to it. Once they returned to Hesperia, Peter would becnothing more than a memory.

"Oh! So Serenity's staying over?" Marcus asked, intrigued.

"Yes, she wants to spend these days with us. She knows that after the wedding, we'll be heading to Hesperia for a few weeks to sort out everything for our move." "Yeah, but we'll cback to Valentia. We'll stay until the baby is born, and after that, we'll finally set a date to go hfor good," Marcus said, laying out his plans.

Valerie knew how hard it was for Marcus to be away from his daughter, but staying in this country was complicated for both of them-not just because of the present, but because of the past as well. Even though Marcus seemed calmer now, this place was no longer his home. His best moments were elsewhere, and that place was Hesperia.

"Hey... Guess what?" Valerie said, her face glowing with excitement.

"What?" Marcus responded immediately.

"We finally have the dress design! Serenity is going to look stunning. We found a way to use my wedding dresses," Valerie said enthusiastically.

"Yeah, Maximus sent the dress I wore when we got married We're only going to take a few details from it, and from ours, we'll use most of the embellishments," Valerie said, downplaying the situation.

Marcus shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Valerie asked, curious.

"Nothing, sweetheart. It's just that I'm still not used to Maximus being part of our daughter's life. I mean, with Peter, he's technically his father-in-law, but with the other one... He and I will never be that close, and you know it. So, it's just a bit hard for me," Marcus admitted, a hint of jealousy in his voice but mostly sincerity. "My love, my darling, I know we still have things to work through, but it was important for Serenity too. And if my little girl is happy with it, I can't say no to her," Valerie said, looking into her husband's eyes.

"Hey! But you have to save part of the dress. Carrie is still little, and I know it's inevitable that one day she'll ctosaying, 'I'm getting married,'" Marcus said with irony.

"Yes, Marcus, they're going to return whatever's left of the dress, don't worry. And yes, I know Carrie will grow up and might want to get married someday, but that's still years away. For now, just enjoy your little baby girl," Valerie said before giving him a tender kiss, which slowly turned into something more.

"What are you doing?" Valerie asked as she felt her husband's expert hands start to wander under her clothes. “Nothing... Just making the most of the moment. It's not every day we get an opportunity like this," Marcus murmured as he got lost in her soft, smooth skin and those well-nourished breasts.

"Serenity, Laura, and the girls are in the living room..." Valerie warned.

"Givea minute,” Marcus said, pulling away, leaving her wanting more.

He walked to the door, locked it, and silently prayed for a few minutes of privacy.

"Now then, where were we?" Marcus asked, taking her by the wrist.

"Marcus, they could catch us..." Valerie said, thinking about the girls.

"Con! It's been months without much..." Marcus said in a pleading tone.

"Action?" she asked.

Valerie could see the pleading look in her husband's eyes. It was true-having the babies took up so much of their time. Even poor John sometimes had to step in and help however he could. Sure, they hired nannies, but it just wasn't the same. Privacy had beca rare luxury.

Marcus cornered Valerie against her desk, placing his hands on the surface, closing the space between them. "You know... I really miss our first days alone here," Marcus said, his eyes filled with desire.

"Marcus..." Valerie murmured, almost begging.

Marcus couldn't hold back any longer. He grabbed her by the nape of the neck, pulled her in, and kissed her- deep, passionate, full of raw desire. Their tongues tangled, their bodies responding instantly, recognizing each other like no thad passed.

He knew they didn't have much tbefore someone interrupted, so he didn't hesitate. Moving quickly, he pulled off Valerie's sweater, leaving her in just her bra.

"Well, look at this... nothing but beautiful breasts here," Marcus murmured, lowering himself to kiss them.

"Ma... Marcus... Please...!" Valerie gasped, her voice a mix of excitement and desperation.

She was struggling to keep her composure. One of them had to be the reasonable one here-but judging by the way things were going, it definitely wasn't going to be her husband.

"You know I love your new curves, right?" he whispered into her ear.

"H-How?" she stammered, suddenly nervous.

"All of this, my love... your whole body, your curves, your breasts," Marcus murmured as he slid off her bra, exposing those perfect mounds to his hungry kisses and eager hands.

"Ahhh...!" Valerie let out a moan, her body betraying her.

"Shhh... not so loud, they might hear us..." Marcus whispered against her ear while his fingers skillfully unbuttoned her tight pants.

He played with the waistband of her panties, his touch teasing, lost in the softness of his wife's skin and the endless possibilities hidden beneath that last barrier. With a swift movement, he turned her around, peeling her pants down and revealing the breathtaking silhouette of her thighs and round buttocks, all framed by a delicate piece of black lingerie. "Valerie... you're really not making this easy for me..." he muttered, swallowing hard as he trailed kisses from her neck down to those tempting curves.

"Ma... Marcus... please..." Valerie whimpered, her voice barely above a whisper.

With one decisive tug, he slid her panties down, uncovering the part of her he hadn't touched indays-maybe even weeks: Kneeling, he worshipped her skin with soft kisses, inch by inch, before slowly rising. One hand gripped her waist, the other cupped her breasts, holding her close as his breath fanned over her ear. "God, Valerie! Believe me, if we didn't have guests..."Marcus murmured as his hand slowly traveled down from her waist to that spot that sent waves of pleasure through her.

The moment Valerie felt her husband's fingers teasing her most sensitive area, she almost let out a moan-but Marcus's lips captured hers, swallowing the sound before it could escape.

He could feel it. The warmth, the wetness, the pure desire radiating from her. He didn't just see it-he could touch it, taste it. Slowly, they were reclaiming what had once started to slip away.

Meanwhile, back in the living room where the girls had gathered, Laura sat waiting for her driver to arrive. Diana had offered to take her home, but she didn't want her driving at night, so she chose to wait instead. The women chatted casually, assuming Valerie was still with the kids, probably trying to put them to sleep. They had no idea that, in the study, there was anything but peace and quiet.
