Celeste's POV

"Oh, sorry," I smiled shyly, taking a step back, letting him in. He gave me a charming smile and walked in. "You shouldn't stand too much and tire yourself. Sit down, please," I added, worried.

Joshua smiled, amused and commented arrogantly, "If I knew you would be worried about me this much, I would be hospitalized earlier."

"Joshua, don't talk nonsense!" I warned, casting him a dirty look. He chuckled heartily. I rolled my eyes and asked, annoyed. "Would you like something to drink?"

"A cup of coffee, please."

I nodded and went to the kitchen. I didn't know why, but I felt nervous thinking that Joshua and I were alone at home. Yes, after his promise, he didn't attempt to do anything, but the sexual tension between us was palpable.

As I finished making him coffee, I took a deep breath, trying to calm down, and went back.

"Thank you." Joshua gave me a charming smile as I extended the cup towards him. He caressed my fingers gently, sending shivers down my spine while taking the cup slower than normal. I bit my lower lip, avoiding his piercing gaze. He smirked cockily and sipped his coffee.

"How could you run away, putting yourself in danger when you don't let me go anywhere without a bodyguard?" I asked, irritated as I sat down in the armchair. I was still angry at him because of his escape. He could die that night. Even thinking about it gave me goosebumps.

"We aren't the same. I am a man. I can protect myself," he stated firmly, leaning back against the couch, looking me in the eyes.

"We saw you, man," I commented mockingly, pointing to the bruise on his face, and rolled my eyes.

What a nerve!

"If they didn't come like an army, they would be hospitalized, not me," Joshua stated, annoyed. "And I was ... slightly drunk," he added, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Slightly drunk?!" I exclaimed, shaking my head in disbelief. "Joshua, are you insane? How could you drink so much after giving the slip to your bodyguards when you get threats almost every day?! They could kill you," I stated hotly, resting my hands on my hips as I stood up.

This guy is unbelievable!

He sighed and mumbled grumpily, "I am fine."

"Yes, look how fine you are!" I mocked, gesturing to his face. He rolled his eyes.

I heaved a loud sigh and walked towards the drawer. I opened it and took the engagement ring. Finally, I managed to remove the ring.

I walked back towards Joshua under his curious gaze, holding the ring in my hand.

"Your ring," I said nonchalantly and extended the engagement ring towards him.

He stared at the ring without taking it with the indescribable expression on his face. After a while, he sighed and took the ring, his jaw clenched. Then he put the ring into his jacket pocket, suddenly looking angry, making me feel confused.

When I wanted to go and sit down in the armchair, Joshua stood up and grabbed my wrist, stopping me.

"Are you still angry at me?" he asked gloomily.

"Of course. You have to be careful. You could die," I stated firmly, trying to hide my worry.

"I didn't ask about it. I... I was talking about what happened in my bedroom," he mumbled uneasily, looking me in the eyes.

"Oh..." I bit my lower lip nervously, avoiding his gaze.

"Celeste..." Joshua held my chin, lifting my head up, making me face him. "I am really sorry, but I have never thought low of you or used you as... it is just... I can't get you out of my mind and you are the only one I want beside me when I feel bad or angry," he stated honestly, cupping my cheek. "I am sorry for making you feel that way, Celeste. You... you are so precious. I have never thought about you in that way," he added sadly, leaning his forehead against my forehead.

"Joshua..." I mumbled, resting my hand on his chest.

Slowly his lips brushed against mine, kissing me gently while he wrapped his arm around my waist, pressing me against his hard body. I wrapped my arms around his neck as we deepened the kiss.

"Ouch!" Joshua exclaimed in pain, pulling back slightly and placed his fingertip on the corner of his lip.

"Sorry, Joshua. I forgot about your wound," I commented in guilt.

He gave me a slight smile and pulled me into his arms again before brushing his lips against mine. I tried not to hurt his lips again, but while he was kissing me feverishly, it wasn't possible much.

He slid his hand under my crop top, sending down shivers down my spine while melting me with his ardent kiss. I pushed his jacket off his shoulders, losing myself in his kisses and touches.

Joshua suddenly pulled back like I burned him and shook his head.

"I... I can't do it."

I looked at him, dumbfounded.

"I will keep my promise. I won't touch you till you want it too," he stated, determined.

I gave him a warm smile and stated confidently, "Joshua Sullivan, kiss me."

Without waiting for a second, he smashed his lips against mine, kissing me feverishly.

Joshua's POV

In a flash, I picked up Celeste in my arms and asked her impatiently, "Where is your bedroom?"

"The first door on the right," she replied heavily.

I nodded and reclaimed her inviting lips while carrying her towards her bedroom.

Once we were in her bedroom, I put Celeste down carefully and took off my jacket quickly before attacking her crop top.

"No bra," I commented, satisfied and took her nipple in my mouth, squeezing her other breast.

"Joshua..." she moaned, arching her back and gripping my hair tightly.

I rolled my tongue around her nipple one more time before moving my lips down her chest, breathing in her mind-blowing scent. I was addicted to this.

I placed a soft kiss on her belly while unbuttoning her shorts. Then I pulled it down and kissed her between her legs.

"Joshua..." She arched her back, gripping my hair.

I wrapped my arms around her hips, leaning my chin against her belly, looking up at her, admiring my beautiful wife, full of desire in my eyes. I desired this woman so much.

I stood up quickly and smashed my lips against her lips, cupping her cheeks. Then I wrapped my arm around her waist, pulling her towards the bed while cupping her cheek with my free hand, still kissing my woman passionately.

I pushed her onto the bed and started unbuttoning my shirt while devouring Celeste with my eyes. I looked forward to holding her in my arms. Meanwhile, she was watching me, biting her lower lip, full of desire in her eyes, causing my already hard shaft get harder.

As soon as I got rid of my all clothes, I took off her lace panties and threw it away before finding my place between her legs and tasting her delicious lips again.

I roamed her body while kissing every inch of her soft skin. As I pushed my two fingers inside her wet folds, she moaned, pressing her head back. She was already ready for me.

"Joshua, I need you," she pleaded in desire, tightening her legs around me.

"You have no idea how much I want you, babe," I stated huskily and positioned my hard shaft at her entrance and leaned towards her to kiss her.

"Condom," she reminded, pushing me back.

I nodded and got up to grab my pants. Quickly I pulled a foil out of my wallet and found my place between her slender legs again.

Once I rolled the condom over my shaft, I reclaimed her lips and penetrated her in a swift movement. She moaned into my mouth, arching her back in sensation.

Oh my goodness!

How much I missed to be inside her.

It is official. I am addicted to this blonde pretty woman.

I grabbed her hip and accelerated my pace, but I tried to be as gentle as possible despite the fact it was a pure torture to me. After what happened the last time, I didn't want her feel bad again.

"Faster, Joshua. Don't hold yourself," she pleaded, moaning.

"But the last time..."

"Joshua, take me like you always do. Make me forget about everything else, excluding us," she stated firmly as she tightened her legs around my waist.

I nodded eagerly and accelerated my pace, taking her to my heaven. Our moans, heavy breaths accompanied the movements of our bodies which were burned in desire for each other.

I tightened my grip around her hip while holding her hands above her head with my other hand as I felt her walls tightened around my length. I was close too.

A few deep thrusts later, we both came together, screaming each other's name. I collapsed onto her, breathing heavily, but feeling so serene and happy. She caressed my hair gently while trying to control her breath.

I placed a soft kiss on her shoulder and rolled over.

"It was..."

"Mind-blowing as always," she finished my sentence.

I gave her a bright smile and nodded before placing a chaste kiss on her lips.
