Mr Ceo's Pregnant Ex-wife

Chapter 188 - ALONE TIME

The?radiant moon stood beautifully upon a wonderful star-studded sky. The soft subtle wind from the garden caressed my skin but I didn't feel the cold at all. The warmth of an arm wrapped around my waist provided the warmth I needed.

The garden looked magnificent under the pale glow of the moonlight. It looked like a scene straight out of a painting. Aside from the occasional sound of nocturnal insects and the sound of hush voices from afar, the garden was peaceful.

After an endless round of Congratulations from the jovial guest, Ace and I managed to sneak out of the garden unnoticed for an alone time together.

"Are you cold, love?" He murmured against my ears, my thoughts fled. The warmth of his lips against my skin sent a ticklish sensation all over my body.

"I'm not cold, love." I replied and turned to face him. My arms as if they have a mind of their own encircled his neck. In return, his arms encircled my waist and pulled me closer into his body until my body was pressed to his own that even air couldn't pass between us.

He smiled. It was a sweet, seductive smile that instantly melted my knees and turned them to jell-o. "I miss you…. Words are not enough to express how bad I'd been wanting to be with you." He'd spoken the words with so much love and tenderness that I found my chest swelling with joy.

The pools of his exquisite blue eyes were glowing. He looked like a demigod at the moment as the pale moonlight illuminated his face giving him a mysterious yet alluring look.

For a moment, my eyes fluttered close. Savoring the peaceful night sky while he holds me close. I imagined this same exact scene inside my mind over and over again. Never did it cross my thoughts that it would happen now. And now it's taking place, my heart keeps beating erratically inside my chest. I love him so much that it shattered me when I thought I lost him. But now that he's here with me, my anxiety and fears vanished as if they didn't even exist.

"I miss you too, Ace…" I murmured, slowly opening my eyes. " I too couldn't put into words how much I missed you. The months we've been away from each other feels like years to me. When you left, you took a part of me with you and I'd never felt complete since then. But tonight when I saw your face, all the hollows and emptiness nagging inside me was filled with warmth. And for a long time, I feel whole again." My hand went into his face and cupped his jaw into my hands. "Please… don't leave again. It would break my heart if I saw you walk away." Tears clouded my vision and when I blinked my eyes it fell on my cheeks.

"Hush… don't cry my love. It breaks my heart to see you in tears. I gave you my word, I will never leave you again. Never. Even if someone would aim a shotgun at my head, I'll still remain by your side even if it means death." He took a deep agonizing breath and wiped the wetness of my cheeks with his fingers. "I lost you a couple of times before but now that our lives are finally at peace, I will never lose you again. I love you, love. I love you so much that if I were to choose between loving you and breathing, I would use my last breath to say I love you."

He wrapped me into his arms more tightly. The warmth of his body pressed against mine gave me the comfort and sense of inner peace. For a moment the world stopped moving. Everyone around us faded into a different dimension. There's only the two of us.

When his lips claimed mine, the emotions I'd been trying hard to suppress broke loose. A groan escaped my lips. My hands clung around his neck for support. My knees felt like noodles, if I wasn't holding onto him I already slumped on the cemented pavement with my butt first.

I moved my lips into the rhythm of his own. He was moving slowly but it feels like I'd been running miles and miles by how my heart was beating fast inside my chest. His heart beat, I could almost hear it too and it was beating erratically like mine.

The more we kissed the more thirsty and greedy I became. I just can't get enough of the kiss I'd been deprived of for months. When he finally let me go, I was breathless and so was he. Even if I was trying to chase after my breath,?I'm perfectly fulfilled inside.

I laid my head into his chest with a contented sigh. I could spend the night with him like this and not feel tired at all. Just having him with me feels like heaven to me.

"Love?"?He called after a moment of silence.

"Yes?" I mumbled sleepily against his chest. The sweet scent of perfume clinging to his cloth permeated my nostrils and it was making me sleepy.

"When you blow out your candle, what did you wish?"?He asked, caressing my hair with his palms.

The question instantly made my lips stretch into a smile. I look up to him with eyes twinkling with mirth. "What did you think I wished for?" I shot him back the same question he asked me.

"A successful career?"

I shook my head.

"The safety and abundance of the family?"

"That's only my secondary wish."

He sighed. "I gave up…. So tell me what did you wish for?"

"I wished for a son." I told him.

His eyes went huge. A wide smile broke into his lips. There was a glint of tears at the corner of his eyes. "I want a son too." He whispered, consumed with joy.

He wrapped me into his arms and buried his face into my hair, inhaling the scent of my favorite shampoo. "Let's make a son tonight, love." He offered.

"I would love to." I replied.

Ace broked into laughter.action
