Ophelia's POV

"Hey," Keira's voice was soft and low and her smile was devilishly hot. My eyes roamed from her head to her toes. Her silky dark hair was disheveled, an oversize plain white button-down shirt that barely covered her smooth skin with nothing at all.

I held the collar of her shirt to tug her closer to me as she brushed her lips toward mine. I used a hand to cradle her face and whispered, "Hi, you're looking so hot today."

Keira gently pressed her lips against mine as she nibbled my lower lips with her teeth slightly tugging and she said in between our lips, "So, you have been patiently waiting for a surprise. I shall grant a little tidbit for you."

"Yes, please!" I said with a voice that I couldn't recognize. She chuckled as she could sense I grew so much hunger for her as I got starved for many days. Keira drew away from me and let herself straddle my abdomen. She had surely but slowly undone the button of the shirt that was too slow for my liking and I just wanted to rip it off.

Keira's hands reached her collarbone teasingly caressing them as her sigh was long and husky. I keep my eyes on her button-up shirt that got parted and revealed her fair and smooth skin. I was stunned with my eyes capturing her breathtaking glorious body, and I took a large gulp down to my throat as a response.

She lowered her body against mine as I sighed at the nice warmth from her alluring body. The pit of heat from my core transmitted over my body screaming for our skin-to-skin and her touch. I took her hand to reach beneath my shirt and let her take in the role. I kissed her hungrily with my tongue battling with hers.

"Stop teasing, just fuck me, baby," I whimpered as I grip her hand which was fondling my breast.

"Wake up, sleeping beauty. We are getting late if you're not going to wake up."

Well, I would never complain to wake up with a soothing voice like that, but sometimes it did drive me nuts. It was a dream again. Haha, Yay me. 

I groaned as I flipped my body to another side, reluctantly waking up from my steamy-romantic dream.

"Not again, Lia. Did you dream about us again?" Keira asked with a chuckle as I felt a dip behind the spot on my backside.

"I hate you," I retorted as I pouted my lips. I felt my back get covered by Keira's warmth, her nice feather kisses around my right cheek, and a hand of hers slipped at my left cheek to turn my face for her. I remained my eyes closed but let her plant a few kisses on my lips.

"It works!"

I slowly let my eyes open, her beautiful smile and lovely gray eyes gazing at mine got my mood lit up. But, that wasn't enough for me. I cleared my throat and said, "Well, I'm still unhappy."

"You have to get ready, Lia," Keira reminded me as I could feel a slap on my butt that got me jumped a little. I knew she wasn't the kind of person that like to tease or do something kink, but the warmth just spread my face as I bit my lips to suppress a goofy grin.

"Lia?" Keira called softly as she gently cradled my face.

"Okay okay, I'm going!" I said as she helped me to get off the bed and I jumped again when I felt she slap at my butt again. But, this time was a bit hard for me and I turned to look at her and hissed, "Ouch!"

"I'm sorry, it was too nice to do that," Keira chuckled with a shrug.

"Good. Maybe just be gentle a little when you do that again," I winked at her as I started humming some song that randomly came into my mind, and I waltzed to the bathroom leaving my girlfriend who was laughing heartily.

Sometime, she could be cute.

It had been a week since we met Keira's parents, this time, we were going to my hometown to meet my mom. My dad had been there for the last few days, so, we both could take a flight without a third wheel.

Keira was acting odd recently, she had packed our clothes after we got back from Keira's parents' house. Keira was always patient and chill, but now she seemed tense and busy touching her phone for checking the list in her note about a thousand times.

I hold her free hand on the bench and squeezed it, "Relax, you had packed all of them in our luggage, baby."

Keira took a glimpse of the phone one last time as she put it into her handbag. She turned to look at me with a smile, "We need to check everything from time to time before we missed out something. Especially, the apple pies I just baked last night."

"I'm surprised it's still safe and sound with you," I jested as she chuckled, "I hope you didn't lie to me that your parents would love it."

"Hey, it is really great," I assured Keira truthfully.

"I just like the sugar amount you had put," I pointed out as I was salivating with the taste of apple pie freshly baked by Keira last night. I was so lucky she let me try it on the spot, and it was one of her surprises from her. She had learned this from her mom when she was studying at college because that time she was craving her mom's apple pie.

"I should trust you," Keira said as she gently pinched my face. She took my hand that was holding hers and put it on her lap as she sighed softly.

"So, how do you feel to meet the parents for the first time?" I asked as I used my other free hand pretending it was a mic reached in front of her.

"Fairly nervous," Keira chuckled as she took my hand to rest on her face and asked, "What about you when you met my parents?"

"Nervous as fuck," I replied and we both burst into laughter. 

"Okay, I won't feel so bad if I had a feeling like that," Keira said as she kissed my palm and she slightly breathed out again.

"Well, that's normal because we're just too excited to meet each other's parents," I admitted and Keira nodded her head in agreement and said, "I shall learn more from the love guru."

I snorted, "Nah, I'm just a crazy girl falling hard on a hot basketball player."

Keira leaned in to kiss my lips gently as she pulled away and said, "Stop, Lia. You're the one who will always appreciate and care about the people you love. This is a beautiful thing that I should learn from you."

"Aww," I said as I buried my face in the crook of her neck. "I never know you were a sweet talker."

"That probably is the chemistry grows with the flow?" Keira wondered.

"Yes, Nicholas Sparks," I joked when I lift my face to look at her and she kissed my forehead and said, "I just enjoy keeping you entertained."

I kissed her cheek in return, "Me either."

"It's good we finally see each other, Keira," my mom said excitedly as she pulled my tall girlfriend into a welcoming hug that Keira didn't get a chance to greet.

"I'm glad to see you, Mrs. Kendrick," Keira returned a hug with my mom as they pulled away.

"Olivia," my mom said with a grin as she cupped Keira's face and said, "Now I get why my daughter is falling so hard at you-"

"Mom," I cried out in my embarrassment even though they all knew about things between Keira and me. But, it wasn't nice to say it out loud right on my face. I could tell Keira's face was as red as mine.

"I like you too, Keira. You're such a pretty girl," my mom said.

"Thank you for your nice compliment, Olivia," Keira said as she looked getting awkward with her height that towered my mom's. My moms left her hands from Keira's face as she held her hand and looked at me, "Okay, take your pretty girlfriend to a guest room."

"No way, Mom!" I argued.

"House rules, sweetheart," my mom said with a grin.

"It's not that she will-" I paused when I saw Keira's face turn red again and groaned, "Ugh, never mind." I pouted my lips at my mom as I held Keira's hand to walk us to the guest room.

"She is unbelievable," I whined after I closed the door behind me as Keira planted a soft kiss on my lips and said, "That's totally fine with me, Lia. I will respect the house rules."

"This is ridiculous. We are adults, baby," I huffed and I folded my arms.

Keira wrapped her arms around me in a circle and assured me, "It will only take one night for us."

"Fine, but one night is killing me," I said and leaned my head on her chest.

"Patience is a virtue, Lia," Keira said and she gently caressed my head.  

"That will never be applicable to me after I got you," I said and pouted my lips. Meanwhile, something that got me lit up my mood and I asked, "Do you wanna take a look at my room?"

"Yes, you know I have been so looking forward, right?" Keira said with a hint of a smile and she kissed the top of my head.

"Let's go!" I said as I took her and opened the door to go to my room which was right across from the guest room she was staying for the tonight.

"You like reading, don't you?" Keira said in amazed when she turned to look around my room which was with a high ceiling, oak wooden flooring, beige bed sheet queen size bed, and a row of ceiling-to-floor bookshelves.

"Yes, I am. But, I'm pretty sure they are not your type," I said, and she looked into the spine of the books. I would prefer to organize my book with authors instead of the alphabet or size.

"Now I get why you like to mention Nicholas Sparks," Keira teased as she indicated a row of the stories books.

"Well, he is a romance king, and I'm a sucker for romance," I casually shrugged as Keira sat on the armchair that was next to the bookshelves which I always used for reading. I walked to the chair and climbed on it and straddle Keira's lap with my arms around her neck.

Keira hold my hips to keep my balance and whispered, "Lia is full of surprise too."

"Oh, you need to take time to find out more too," I smirked and I leaned in and nibbled her lips.

"I will always have time for you," Keira moaned softly with her hands reaching to my butt to give a firm squeeze at them. I sighed and gave in to her as she reached her lips to my neck and I craned and laughed.

"I can't! It's ticklish," I giggled as Keira didn't stop inhaling around my neck and I flinched as her cold hands touched my lower back beneath my sweater. "Are you getting better?"

I sighed comfortably in response after I got used to her hands which were getting warm. Keira's lips back to capture mine again after she had explored around my neck and I gladly let her tongue meet mine. We took a nice tongue to wrestle with her hands roaming my back while I held her face with my thumbs caressing her soft skin. Our make-out was slowing down as Keira tug my lips with her teeth

"Sweetheart!"

We both jumped at the voice of my mom outside the room. I winched in pain when I felt my lips hurt. Oh well, I hurt my back after falling from the bed last time, and I got a lovely bite on my lips by Keira this round.

"Dammit! I'm sorry!" Keira exclaimed in horror as she quickly took out a pack of tissue from her jeans pocket and took a piece of it to dap my spot. I yelped when I felt a touch even though Keira was very careful to do that. "I'm so sorry, Lia."

"That's okay, baby." I hissed softly as I held her hand to lead her to dap my lips. After a while, I laughed, "Interesting. I never know you like to play the rough one."

Keira rolled her eyes at me and she seemed still concerned and said, "I will put ointment on your lips. It is swollen."

"I thought it is always swollen and wet whenever you're with me," I teased with a wink.

"Lia," Keira groaned with her tinted face and I giggled.

"Ophelia Kendrick!"

"Yes ma'am! I'm right away!" I replied out loud in return as I climbed down and stood on my feet, I stretched a hand toward Keira and said, "Let's go, baby." She took my hand and let me pull her onto her feet as we left my room.

"Do you have any plans to get married?"

I choked at my mom's great question as Keira gently caressed my back and replied, "Yes, but I will wait for the right time." I turned to look at Keira in surprise as she smiled at me in return she looked at my mom and added, "And I'd prefer Ophelia is ready for that too." 

"That's great. So, I don't have to worry about Ophelia since she is a handful," my mom said with a giggle.

"I'm not that bad, Mom," I argued.

"She is a wonderful person," Keira said with a smile as I was the most precious to her.

"So, Keira. I hope you will think about the offer again," my dad piped in with a broad smile that got me clueless.

"What is that?" I asked curiously as I saw Keira remained a smile that seemed uneasy.

"You'll know after she agreed on it," Dad said and he took a sip of champagne from the flute.

"You okay?" I asked Keira softly.

"Yes, I am," Keira assured me with a small smile.

"Do you want to talk about it later?" I asked as I gently squeezed her hand and she nodded her head in return.

We spent another hour with my parents for the dinner and we returned to my room and were ready for our talk. We settled in the loveseat, sitting next to each other as I was holding one of her hands with mine. I understand think would never work if we are still nervous. So, I let Keira relax as I rested my head on her shoulder and played with her fingers.

When I felt her body and hands loosen up, I knew it was time for her to open up. "What made you worried, baby?"

"I'm worried you will be unhappy with that," Keira said in a voice that was heavy.

I lifted my head as I turned to look at her and said, "You can always talk to me, we have nothing need to hide. Especially, how we feel."

Keira turned to look at me and said, "Okay, but I hope you won't be mad. I will always respect your decision."

"Gosh, you got me nervous," I chuckled and gently squeezed her hands and said, "Tell me. I'm ready."

Keira licked her lips and said, "So, your dad had offered me to join the Board of Directors."

"Holy shit! That's a great chance, isn't it?" I gushed and Keira seemed caught off guard.

"You don't mind if I take the offer?" Keira inquired.

I shook my head at her eagerly, "Hell, I thought my dad will never ask!"

"You know I'm happy with the position I'm taking," Keira said.

"Quit that, Keira. I know what my dad is thinking. He will never take a silly decision since he loves this hotel like his baby," I took both of Keira's hands and assured her, "He trusts you, I'm so glad he has faith in you, Keira." I sighed with a smile and said, "When I was younger I overheard him tell my mom that he had been worried that he couldn't get any potential person to replace him even though I might be continuing his business. Now I get why he is getting chill and I never hear about that from him after many years."

"I understand your dad is kind to give me this offer. But, honestly, I'm not ready, Lia," Keira said as I could see the stress in her eyes.

"Take it easy, baby. I'm not ready to join the board either. I can tell we can work this well in the future," I said.

"I thought you want to get retired earlier," Keira said as used a hand to slip the strand of my hair behind my ears. I smiled at what seemed like her nature for doing that.

"Nah, I don't think that will be a matter anymore. You are the matter and I will appreciate and take what we have. Who knows we will have kids or two," I said as I feel a heat rush to my face when I thought about we were married happily with our own little family.

"So, who is going to carry a baby for us?" I asked as I looked at Keira was having a wide grin on her tinted face.

"You," Keira said with a soft chuckle and added, "I'm sorry, I'd like to, but I know when it is the time, my age is not recommended to carry a baby."

"Not really, baby. Some of the women carry their babies at their late ages," I hummed and added, "Oh well, we will take a role to carry our babies. What do you think?"

I knew we might carry about and I quickly said, "I think I had carried away. We can think about that afterward. From now on, we might need to focus our career at the moment."

Keira cupped my face to plant a soft kiss on my lips and smiled, "Hmm... I can see someone is growing up."

"Well, I hope I can grow something else to please my girlfriend," I smirked and made a thoughtful face, "Should I implant them?"

"No, Lia. You're perfect and I like all of them," Keira said as her face turned red. "Yours are just right for my hands."

"Maybe you should test them and think about it again," I said and I took her hand to cup one of my breasts and she exclaimed, "Lia!"

I burst out laughing and Keira quickly put both of her hands on her lap with a groan. "I need to get a shower and sleep."

I swiftly straddled her lap and said, "Sleep here tonight, please?"

"House rules," Keira said as I sighed.

"Fine!" I huffed and climbed down to stand on my feet and Keira shook her head at me before putting her hands on my hips to pull me closer and pecked my lips, "You're still a kiddo."

She slipped her hands away from my body and walked to the door. She opened it and slowly closed the door, and whispered, "Goodnight, Lia." she blew a kiss and shut the door leaving me in the room alone. However, I had something in my mind as a grin spread wide on my face.

I quickly finished my routine and switched off everything in my room and I discreetly go to the guest room. When the view of Keira's back was facing me and she slept in a fetal position, it was a sign she had fallen asleep.

I quietly slipped into the queen size bed and shifted my body closer to Keira. I wrapped an arm around her waist and to be her tinier spoon from behind. Keira stirred a little and murmured in her raspier voice, "Lia?"

I kissed the nape of her neck and whispered, "Yea, I miss you."

I felt Keira taking my hand and I smiled when she tried to turn her body and faced me. Her eyes half opened as she gently pulled me closer until our bodies filled the gap I sighed contently to bury my face in her chest. She wrapped her arms around me and I could hear her exhale comfortably and said, "I miss you too, Lia."

I eventually let my muscle relax and drifted off in Keira's comfy hug.
