Did he abandon me to meet her?

This thought made more warm tears dwell in my eyes. I once again looked up and moved my tears-filled eyes in the whole market to find his familiar face in between so many unknown foreign faces but to my avail, I couldn't find him anywhere. Still, I tried to find his familiar light brown eyes if they were looking at me but I couldn't. 

It made my heart sink more while making me lower my gaze as I started to feel the feeling of being abandoned in a new place starting to enact in me from the pit of my agonizing heart. 

He left me in this unknown place to meet her. 

At this thought, my throat clogged as a big lump formed in the base of my throat making breathing hard for me. So many things came to my mind making my vision more blurry. Now I couldn't even see clearly as more tears started to form in my eyes and run down my cheeks. Old tears slipped and more fresh tears took their place making my vision haze. 

With my head held low, I kept weeping after finding myself in a dismal state. I found myself so alone standing in a place that was full of people. It was not that I couldn't go back to the hotel on my own but the things that I was left alone were making me sob. The only feeling I hated most in my life was getting abandoned by the people whom I loved the most. 

First mom left me even before I could see her and then my dear sister left and now the person I started to trust and had started to lower my guard was doing the same thing to me. Still sobbing I wiped the trails of warm tears away from my face from the back of my hand. 

"Cupcake why are you crying" I heard a familiar distressed-filled voice making me lift my eyes and look at him with blurry vision. I couldn't see clearly but I blinked my eyes to be sure if he was standing in front of me after listening to his voice. I wanted to be sure that I was not just hearing his voice. As I blinked away the tears I saw him standing only a few centimeters away he was looking at me with worried eyes. 

"What happened cupcake why are you crying," he asked again this time looking straight into my eyes. I was still not able to make out he was standing in front of me or it was just a delusion my hurt mind was playing in front of my eyes to soothe the pain I was feeling inside. But in a blink of seconds, he cut the distance between us and he cupped my face with his left hand.

That's when I knew it was not an illusion of my mind as I felt the same electric sensation on my wet cheeks which I feel when he touches me. 

It was not a delusion of my mind he was indeed here standing in front of me looking at me with light brown eyes which were filled with so much concern. Without thinking twice I hugged him tightly while closing my eyes tightly as I felt relief in my weeping heart. I locked both my hands around him as if he would run away from my hold. His body was still for a second as I hugged him out of blue but he wrapped his hand tightly around my pitted frame as he saw my actions. We stayed like this for I don't know until when. 

I just wanted to get rid of the heavy feeling I was feeling. I took a deep breath of relief in his scent while tightening my hold more on his big frame if it was even possible. When I felt contained  I slowly opened my eyes only to find people looking at us with some amusement and some curious look in their eyes as we were standing in the middle of the crowded market in the tight embrace of each other. 

My cheeks burned red as I saw some people stopping in their tracks to look at us with the same look in their eyes. I slowly let go of him by losing my tight embrace around him. I stood in front of him still with a low head. He wiped the tears away from my face and then he held my chin and made me look into his still worried light brown eyes. His eyes were romancing all over my face with a question in his eyes as I had still not answered his question. I took a deep breath to calm myself as all the thoughts of him abandoning me for someone came back to my mind. I want to know where he went without telling me. 

"Where were you," I asked in my little scratchy voice while straight looking into his eyes. Listening to my tone he looked at me with furrowed brows. 

"I went to take ice cream for you," he said as soon as he heard my question while putting his hand in front of me which held a chocolate ice cream cone. I looked at the little melted chocolate ice cream in his hands. 

"Why didn't you tell me before going" I complained in a small voice while looking at ice cream. My heart melted as I looked at ice cream. It's the first time he ever bought me ice cream and that to my favorite flavor. 

"You were so busy choosing necklaces when I saw the ice cream stall so I went to take it for you. But when I came back you were nowhere to be found and that's why it has melted a little," he said while looking at melting ice cream with a small pout. Then he moved his fingers on my cheeks to remove the remaining traces of salty water from my face. 

"You know I got so worried when I didn't find you there. I thought you would be still buying the necklace until I come back but the lady told me you didn't buy any. Why did you even leave from there without me?" He asked with furrowed brows while looking at me. 

I just kept looking at him as he was speaking with a different side which I had never seen before. In the past, he has always eaten my share of ice cream and it was never any other way around. He even said not finding me in the same place worried him. 

Does he mean that? 

Does my absence make him worry? 

So many questions were coming into my mind but I brushed that off as big my chest was filled with the warm feeling as I was able to know little of what was going in his head. Jack Miller never lets you know what's going in his head but today it's different. I bit my lower lip and took the cone from his hand as I didn't want to answer his question. I don't want to let him know my insecurities. I started licking the melted ice cream without saying anything. His eyes darken as he saw me licking the cone and it made me raise my eyebrow in question. 

"Aren't you going to share it with me he asked" in his husky voice. 

"No," I said stubbornly and turned to walk back to the stall but before I could take a single step away from him he caged me in his arms making me clash with his hard chest I saw from the corner of my eyes people looking at us. 

"I asked you nicely my wild cat but don't blame me for the way I choose to eat my share of ice cream," he said with a devilish smirk on his face, and before even I could process his words his lips landed on me. My eyes widened as his actions caught me totally off guard. He bit my lower lip to get the entrance in my mouth making me moan and like that he took his share of ice cream from me. 

I was so breathless when he let go of my lips, not before pecking them twice as if he can't get enough of it. My face was flushing so much and it made him smile looking at my face. I hid my face in his chest to hide my blushing face from his light brown eyes. He took all the bags while still pressing me to his chest. 

"Come let's go and buy all the necklaces you want,'' he said and we started walking in the direction of the stall with me still in his tight embrace. He kept me pressed to his chest as if I will again get disappeared in front of his eyes. As we walked back I shared my ice cream with him. 

Until the time we were finished shopping I was so exhausted. I just wanted to sleep sometime. my legs were still shaking because of all his deeds but today's excitement of exploring this place made me forget it but now it was back. We had our dinner in the room as I was so exhausted to walk out of the room again. 

After dinner, Jack went to take an important call and I went to the bathroom to freshen up and change. I came out of the bathroom after changing into my nightclothes but Jack was still busy with calls. He is handling all work alone now. Even if I told him I can handle a little bit of it he straight away refused. I wonder which new project he is working on. He offends, receives calls and he gets busy like this and when I ask him he doesn't say much. He refuses to say I'm on my vacation. Busy

Indulged in my deep thoughts, I went near the vanity to apply my body lotion. While applying it I looked at my reflection. My long brown hair was untied and resting on my back. I was wearing a black silk nightie which ended just below my tights. I couldn't find anything else to wear as they were most of the things I could find in my traveling back. Thinking about it brings me to a very important question. Who the hell packed my bag with all those little to cover lingers. 

Did they think I would be wearing only them on my honeymoon? 

I sighed deeply while looking at my reflection and continued applying my body lotion. As I was busy doing it two big hands warped around me making me stop doing what I was doing. Jack's face was resting on my almost bare shoulder as he was looking straight at our reflection in the mirror. 

"I knew it. It will suit you," he said while still looking at my reflection with his desired-filled eyes. Now I know who made all those skimpy nighties packed for me. He took a deep breath as if he was inhaling my scent while nuzzling his nose on my neck. His eyes moved all over my body with very slow moments as if he was memorizing all my curves. Redness crept my neck and face as I saw how he was looking at me. 

"The moment I saw this I knew how you will look in it but you look much better than my imagination," he said in his hoarse voice making goosebumps form all over my body. He smirked looking at my red face. 

"I so wanted to do this," he said as he groped my breast, making me gasp while still looking in the mirror. 

"I so wanted to see your reaction when I did this to you," he said, still fondling with my breast. My breath quickened as he slipped one of the straps from my shoulder for him to feed on it. He started kissing on my bare shoulder with an open mouth while his hands still kept doing his work on my breast. I was finding standing hard as he moved his other hand on my bare thighs moving it upwards with very slow space. 

Wherever his hand touch I felt a burning sensation mixed with jolts of electricity signaling me I would melt in his hands soon. I pressed my thighs together as I knew what he was doing and my heart beat fast with sweet fear running into it.  His mouth kept sucking on the throbbing nerve of my neck making it hard for me to stand anymore. He was about to slide another strap of the night to make it slide down from my body so he could look at my naked body. But before he could do it his phone started ringing again. He groaned not liking it. He ignored it and kept continuing doing it but his phone rang again. 

"Jack, take it maybe it will be about work," I said as he kept nibbling on my neck. Listing to my words he lifted his face and looked at me with a sulking face making me hide my smile. From his face, it was clear he didn't take it but it seemed like an important call. He removed his hands away from my body slowly but not before giving me a proper squeeze making me gasp loudly. He smirked, looking at making me more flush. 

"We will continue doing it after I fire the person calling me," he said in his devilish voice. Before I could tell him not to do that he took the cell phone and went to the balcony to talk.   I bit my lower lip as I saw his bareback. His words have already increased sweet fear in me making me restless. With little unsteady legs, I walked to the bed and lay down still feeling restless. 

Waiting for him I don't know when I sleep into my sweet slumber. I was so deep in my sleep when I felt a nibbling on the peak of my blossom. His wet tongue moved so skillfully on it which made me feel all the desiring sensation in my deep sleep too. My fingers wrapped around the bedsheet as he kept doing it. I opened my heavy eyelids as I started to feel a warm sensation in my stomach. With half-opened eyes, I looked at him. 

"Do you want to know the main reason why I chose it, my wild cat?" He asked in his husky voice. My mind was full of fog. I had to put presses on remembering what he was talking about. The nightie he was talking about it. 

"It's so easy to take it away," he said, making my breath jagged with sweet fear as adrenaline ran in my blood taking all my sleep away as he slipped the silky material away from my body. 

Oh, God.
