Happily Ever Addendum (23 page)

Quickly, he had us out of the shower and
wrapped a large towel around us. I could feel the motion of him walking but I
was lost in my own world of ecstasy as his mouth moved over the wet skin of my
neck and collarbone.

It wasn’t until I felt my back hit the
mattress that I snapped out of my lust induced haze. Aidan towered above me as
he stood, damp and naked, at the edge of the bed. I eyed him up and down, feeling
myself become more wanting.

He placed his hands on each of my feet,
slowly sliding them up as he moved between my legs. At my knee, he leaned in
and kissed both of them. At my thighs, he did the same. He continued on the
same path, sliding his hands over hips before kissing the bundle of over-sensitized
nerves hidden behind my swollen lips.

I bucked my hips and gasped. When his
tongue slid down and back up my entire slit, I screamed out for him. I felt him
settle between my legs, never moving his mouth away from my lower lips. His
hands slid up until they were caressing my breasts. I placed my hands over his,
helping him squeeze.

His tongue plunged inside of me and I
grabbed his hair, knotting it into my fist as I moaned and writhed against his
mouth. His moans sent vibrations directly to my center and I flew over the edge
into the oblivion of pleasure that had been building.

My breathing was labored, as was his,
when he climbed the rest of the way up my body.

"You taste so good." He
crushed his lips to mine and kissed me deeply.

The head of his cock was rubbing against
my sensitive clit and I was shuddering with each rub. I wanted more of him, I
wanted all of him, and I was going to have it. Thrusting my hips forward
against him, he moaned loudly. He positioned himself at my entrance and slid into
me.

"Oh god!" I screamed out as he
ravaged my body. I raised my hips to give him deeper access, allowing him to
take all of me.

"Fuck, Lilli! I’ve missed you so
fucking much, and this hot, wet…fuck!" He growled and slammed into me
quickly. "I fucking crave you!"

"Fuck, Aidan…don’t stop!
Harder!" My nails were digging into the skin of his upper arms.

Over and over, he thrust into me. All of
our pent up anger, frustration, angst and want slamming against each other.

"Baby…I’m gonna…cum with
me...please…fuck!"

I slid my hand down to where we were
attached and rubbed myself. Aidan looked down at what I was doing.

"Fuck, baby, that is so hot!" He
growled. "Fuck, Lilli…please!"

Falling over the edge, again, I screamed
his name out. He yelled out for me before collapsing onto the bed next to me.
He pulled me to him immediately, holding me tightly to his heaving chest.

"Promise to never leave me."
He said in a hushed tone.

"I promise."

"You promise what?" He brushed
away my damp hair and snuggled into my neck.

"I promise to never leave
you."

We lay quietly, listening to each other
breath, feeling close. I was even more set on the fact that I would fight for
my husband, no matter who wanted to play games with us.

The rhythm of his breathing finally
lulled me to sleep.

Aidan

Finally having her back, really back,
made me come alive again. I craved Lilli. I just needed her in my life. What
had started as intrigue, and infatuation, has turned into a constant need for
her. For us.

I have always known that Lilli was
strong, but that night, in the spare bedroom, proved to me how amazing she
really was. She had never truly blamed me. She was just scared and confused. It
was a relief to finally clear the air with her and just be.

When I surprised her in the bathroom, I
really had no intentions of having sex with her. Of course I had thought about
it, but, in the end, I only wanted to show her how much I loved, appreciated
her, and the strength that she harbored inside. As soon as she had deepened our
kiss and rubbed herself against my erection, there was nothing and no one that
could have kept me from fucking the shit out of her that night. Want had turned
into an immediate need to taste, hear and feel her.

A week following our reunion, Devlin
arrived in my office. I called Liam and James to attend the meeting as well.

"Aidan." We shook hands and he
sat down.

"Devlin." I corresponded.

Liam and James greeted him as well.

"Aidan, I have to tell you that if
this child is legitimately yours, then the terms of the inheritance…"

"Wait, you are saying that this is
considered unfaithful?" I asked.

Devlin nodded.

"Aidan, it shows proof that you
slept with another woman."

"Even if he was drugged and
basically raped?" Liam questioned.

"What?" Devlin looked shocked
and appalled.

"I have the evidence, Devlin, and I’ve
filed a police report." I sat back in my chair.

"I will need to get copies of
everything, but…I think that this will negate any claim of unfaithful actions.
Are you and Lilli?"

I nodded. "Lilli is still my wife.
She is standing by my side one hundred percent. Not that I deserve that from
her, but she is giving it."

We discussed what had happened on that
disgusting night, but I could only offer small details. In conclusion, I had
been raped. It seemed absurd to me, but I had not willingly slept with Loreley
and she was still nowhere to be found.

Another week passed after the meeting
with Devlin and Viola had planned a small party for Liam’s birthday. Lilli and
I both attended together. I wouldn’t…oh, who am I kidding...I couldn’t keep my
hands off of her. She kept scolding me and giggling at all of my touching and
groping.

It was when we were all leaving the
restaurant that we ran into a very distraught looking Gideon.

"What have you done to her?"
He yelled at Lilli and me. I immediately took a protective stance in front of
her.

"I have no idea what you are
talking about." I spit out, ushering Lilli into the car. Soon, James was
at my side, along with Oscar and Dixon.

"Oh, I bet you don’t!" He
yelled sarcastically and lunged toward me.

"Okay, old man, that will be enough
of that." Dixon had both hands on Gideon and was pushing him back as we
all climbed into our cars.

"Get your hands off of me! You’ll
pay Iverson!" I heard Gideon shout as we closed the car door and took off.

"I wonder what that was about."
Lilli looked at me, shock still on her face.

I wrapped my arms around her. "I’m
not sure, but I plan on finding out."

Having investigators look into what set
Gideon off and keeping police on standby for anything that Gideon may do, I
still didn’t have one clue on the whole situation. It was very frustrating, but,
as long as I had Lilli to come home to every day, I didn’t let it get to me too
much.

The twin’s second birthday was rapidly
approaching and I couldn’t believe that our children were growing so quickly.
Lilli was planning a small family party, but Phoebe and Viola had blown it up
to large proportions. What was once a small family dinner with cake and
presents had elevated into ball pits, clowns who made balloon art and a
professional photographer.

Lilli

"I can’t believe I let you, and
Phoebe, talk me into all of this for two year olds. I mean, come on!" I
exclaimed in the back of the black car as we headed to lunch.

"Oh, come now, what’s the point in
marrying a rich man if you can’t throw elaborate parties!" Viola giggled.

I looked at her with my mouth hanging
wide open.

"I’m only teasing." She
laughed. "Okay, they are only two, but so what? They are Aidan’s
offspring. Do you think that if Phoebe had gotten a hold of him with ideas that
it would be any less?" She raised an eyebrow at me.

"Oh god, you’re right! Except we
would all be renting out Disney World for their party!" I rolled my eyes
and laughed.

We pulled up to one of the familiar
restaurants that Viola preferred. Once we were seated, I excused myself to
quickly call Kimberly and check on the twins. I loved helping with the
foundation but I hated not being home with them, too. It was such a bittersweet
thing to love what you do, but to have the biggest loves of your life, home,
waiting on you all day. Hell, if that were the worst choice I had to make,
after everything, I’d take it.

It had been a few weeks since Loreley
had popped into my thoughts. I couldn’t help but wonder if she was okay. If she
was truly pregnant, would she just drop in out of nowhere on us? Claiming that
her child was an Iverson heir?

"They are fine and have been fine all
day, will you enjoy your days out of the house." Kimberly answered with a
chuckle.

"I can’t help it." I whined.

"I know you can’t, but if something
were to happen then I would definitely call you. You know that."

I sighed. "I know, but I feel
guilty when…"

"Just stop it! You are a wonderful
mother and they love you dearly, now get back to lunch with Viola!"
Sometimes I felt like Kimberly was my nanny too.

I turned abruptly and smacked into a
large dark figure. Stumbling, my heel broke and I waited to feel the concrete
come into contact with my body. It never came. Instead, I felt myself pulled up
tightly against someone, my hands landing on his chest.

My eyes widened. "Darian?" I
choked out.

"Lilli." He had a large smile
on his face and then he hugged me.

I pushed back, knowing that Aidan would
be furious. "Darian, we shouldn’t…"

"Lilli, I’d like you to meet
Lorna." He put his hand out and pulled a familiar red-haired woman to his
side closely. "Lorna, this is Lilli."

"Lilli, I’ve heard so much about
you." She smiled brightly and shook my hand.

"Lorna is my fiancé." Darian smiled
at her adoringly.

"Fiancé?" I knew that my whole
face read shock.

"I know, I know…but as soon as I
met her, she had me." He kissed the hand that he was holding while she
smiled up at him in adoration and pride.

"Well…it’s nice to meet the woman
who could tame the infamous Darian." I smiled and hugged Lorna. "And,
you." I smacked his chest, "I am so happy for you." I threw my
arms around his neck and squeezed.

"Thank you."

"Well, I should get back
inside."

They both nodded to me. "It was a
pleasure, a huge pleasure, to meet you, Lorna. Darian…it was…eh…" I winked
at him.

They both laughed and climbed into an
awaiting taxi.

I returned to Viola and told her about
my little run in with Darian and his fiancé as we ate lunch together.

The twin’s birthday had finally arrived
and everyone came to the house. The decorations were pink and blue puppy dogs. Phoebe
had practically covered the entire house.

Liam and Viola came with Maggie, Jason,
Abby and baby Ryan in tow. Aunt Anne, who was holding baby Jimmy, arrived with
Elora and James. At first I stiffened, waiting to see Henry’s face, but it
never appeared. Phoebe and Oscar arrived with Celia and Dixon. Celia was
sporting her large diamond engagement ring. Other family members arrived and
once most guests were settled we began the mingling.

Aidan walked Walsh around while I held
our shy, little Livy. She immediately jumped to Dixon, whom she adored, and
Celia was Walsh’s girlfriend. Walsh gave Celia a large kiss on the cheek.

"Hey there, are you trying to steal
my woman?" Dixon smiled at Walsh who gave him his crooked smile in return.
All the while, Livy hugged Dixon’s neck like he was her super hero.

"Lilli, can I speak with you?"
Phoebe whispered into my ear.

I nodded and excused myself from the
group.

"What’s wrong?" Phoebe’s face
seemed pale and she looked nervous.

"Come with me." She grabbed my
hand and pulled me out of the room and into the downstairs guest bathroom.
Shutting the door, she leaned against it.

"What the heck is going on?" I
half-laughed at her behavior.

Phoebe picked up her purse, opened it,
and pulled out a white pen. I furrowed my brow at her.

"What is…Oh My God! That’s not a
pen!" I shouted. While a smile formed on my face, I grabbed for the white
stick.

"Shhh!" Phoebe hushed me.

"Seriously…really? Does Oscar
know?"

"Will you keep it down? No, he
doesn’t know!” Phoebe was twisting her fingers in knots.

"Phoebe, what’s wrong? You think
that he won’t…be happy."

She shrugged and I saw tears forming.

"Oh, Phoebe, I’ m sure that he will
be thrilled!" I exclaimed.

"Lilli, we haven’t even talked
about living together yet. Let alone marriage, long term plans, or kids. How…I
mean…what if—?"
