Larissa POV

With my baby in my arms, I waited in the arrivals hall of the airport for Roman to appear. His flight had landed on time, so it couldn't really be long before he would be with us. I stood a little more to the side to avoid most people. I didn't want either me or Clem or even both of us to catch a cold from one of the sneezing and coughing people here.

"Where's Uncle Roman, huh? Are you looking forward to seeing him?" I asked Clementine as I rocked her back and forth.

Time passed and little by little the first travelers appeared with their luggage. I stood on tiptoe to catch a glimpse of Roman. But as I wasn't the tallest, there wasn't much point.

"Hey, there you are!" I said happily when he suddenly appeared in front of us. 

Roman had a big grin on his face when he saw us and, as always, the baby was very happy to see him. She gurgled and squealed as soon as she saw him.

"Hi you beautiful girls. It's great to see you." he said and then gave me a kiss to say hello.

"I've missed you, baby girl." Roman then added.

"We missed you too. Let's get the boss home." I replied as he took Clem from my arms to greet her properly too.

"Oh hello Mini Miss! God, such a pretty angel. Have you grown again? I could swear you're taller than you were three days ago." he said to her after giving her a kiss on the forehead.

Clementine put her hand on his mouth and started to laugh as he kissed her tiny fingers. Then he gave her back to me before pulling his suitcase behind him.

With one arm around my waist, we made our way to the car. Every now and then he squeezed my hip lovingly. Almost as if he wanted to make sure I was still there.

"Are you still up for a date tonight?" he asked as we drove to his house.

"Oh you can count on it. I told the babysitter to be at my place at 6. I'm hoping my boss will let me leave a little earlier today so I can get ready for our date," I said.

"I know your boss pretty well and I'm sure I can convince him that you have nothing more to do today." he laughed.

We spent a few more hours at Roman's house until it was time to take my little one home. I found it harder each time I drove home, but today I knew that I would see him again soon. That made it easier for me. I was also looking forward to getting dressed up again. It had been a while since I had done that.

*****

A few hours later, I paced nervously in my living room while I tried to get Clem to go to sleep. But I couldn't, probably because she could sense how tense I was suddenly.

Once again, I tapped a number into the phone in the hope of finally getting lucky. But that spark went out almost immediately when the call went straight to voicemail.

And then the doorbell rang. I had completely lost track of time. I sighed deeply as we walked to the door and opened it.

"Hi, baby girl. Oh... What's going on? You haven't changed yet?" Roman asked worriedly when he saw my outfit.

I was still wearing sweatpants, my makeup wasn't done and I had curlers in my hair. This really wasn't the way he should see me today. It was silly, I knew that... but this look really wasn't attractive.

And then he looked so damn good in his tight dark blue jeans and jacket over his white V-neck shirt.

"Oh Ro... I'm so sorry.... The babysitter has canceled at short notice and I've been desperately trying to get someone else for an hour. But no one is available. I guess we can't go out tonight." I replied desperately, almost on the verge of tears.

"Hey... Take it easy." he said as he came in, closed the door behind him and then took us into his strong arms.

He pressed a kiss to my forehead. He stayed like that for a moment until I finally relaxed a little.

"That's no problem at all, Larissa. We'll just take Mini Miss with us. Now, give me the little bundle and put on something nice, okay? We'll all have a nice evening," he then said.

And since I knew there was no point in arguing with him, that's exactly what I did. But not without first taking his face between my hands and giving him a big kiss.

Since my apartment wasn't very big, I could hear Ro talking quietly to Clem in the living room. It was always fascinating for me to experience what a calming effect he had on her. It was probably his charisma and the depth of his voice. She just knew instinctively that she would always be safe with him.

"Wow, look at your mommy, Clem! Look how beautiful she is." he said when I came back to them some time later.

I had chosen a knee-length dark blue dress to match him. My hair waved in big curls over my shoulders and back. I had put on a little makeup and for the first time in years wore false eyelashes which made my eyes look bigger.

"Thank you, Ro! Okay... I've packed her bag. Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked, blushing again.

Part of me wondered if that would ever go away. This feeling of embarrassment was a bit awkward. After all, I was no longer a little schoolgirl.

"Absolutely. Even more so now." he replied and I saw him licking his lips.

I probably wasn't supposed to see that. And I wasn't sure if he even noticed, but somehow it was a little thing that made my heart beat a little faster.

At that moment, I wouldn't have minded spending the evening here.

*****

Roman carried Clem into the restaurant in her baby carrier. A damn expensive restaurant, I should say. The hostess eyed us for a while before finally taking us to one of the private rooms. Ro placed a chair next to mine and put Clem on it so that I could keep an eye on her.

He then adjusted my chair before sitting down at the table. It was really breathtaking here. The whole atmosphere was so...sexy. I couldn't describe it any other way. The soft music, the dim light of the room, the candlelight.

While we waited for our food, he held my hand on the table. He kept drawing little circles on the back of it as we talked. Miss Clem slept peacefully and was not disturbed by our laughter.

"That was a wonderful evening. I'm glad you came with me, baby girl," Roman said later when we were back home.

I had just put Clem in her crib. She had a little smile on her lips that made it look like she was having a nice dream.

"Oh Mr. Reigns, the evening isn't over yet. Come with me." I said softly as I grabbed his hand and pulled him into the bedroom with me.

I slipped off my high heels just as he closed the door behind us. Then I reached for the remote control to turn on some soft music before lighting a few of the candles I had. Then I wiped my hair over my shoulder.

"Would you mind giving me a hand, boss?" I asked gently as I glanced over my shoulder at him.

Roman immediately stepped behind me and placed his hands on my upper arms before pressing a kiss to my neck just below my ear. Then he slowly slid his large hands to the zipper of my dress and carefully pulled it down. His fingertips traced every inch of bare skin he could now see.

I slipped the dress off and let it pool on the floor before turning to face him. Then I reached back and undid my strapless bra. I let it fall to the floor too before sliding my hands under the jacket of the man in front of me to free him from it.

"So beautiful, baby girl... so gorgeous." Roman whispered as he pulled me into his arms.

He leaned down and kissed me hard. Our lips and tongues battled for dominance until he finally lifted me up and laid me on the bed. I propped myself up on my elbows and watched in awe as he removed the rest of his clothes.

And I swear to God, I almost started drooling. Thankfully, that didn't happen because he was already hovering over me before I could even finish the thought.

I pulled him forcefully towards me. My breasts nestled firmly against his hard chest as I began to pant. Roman's hands explored every curve, every bit of skin he could reach as he slowly sucked and then nibbled on my neck.

"There are condoms in the nightstand drawer," I gasped at one point, unable to wait any longer.

"Someone's impatient.... Can't wait for the boss, can you?" he murmured in his deep voice as he simultaneously pulled open the drawer and quickly found what he was looking for.

"Now show me why you're the boss, Mr. Reigns." I replied as he covered himself with the condom.

Apparently I didn't have to tell him twice. He crushed his mouth to mine and kissed me deeply. And the next second I knew why he was doing it. He was trying to muffle my cries of ecstasy in this way. But his movements inside me were so overwhelming that it would have taken much more than that. It only took a few thrusts before he sent me over the edge for the first time.

But of course that wasn't enough. Not for him and certainly not for me. I hung on to him like my life depended on it while it was a long time before we had enough, at least for a little while.
