Chapter 99: Where We Left...
Adam and Stella arrived at the mansion after midnight. Adam carried her upstairs princess style.
Stella had her arms wrapped around his neck as her face was resting in the crook of his neck. She had her eyes closed peacefully. Her mind drifted back to what had happened at the party. Her body shook in fear as she thought about what might have happened if Lillian wasn't there with her.
Adam felt her body tremble in his arms and tightened her grip around her body.
"You alright sweetheart?" He asked her, his voice laced with worry. He didn't hear her reply but felt her nodding her head against his neck. He heaved a sigh of relief as he stepped into his room with her in his arms.
Since he had returned from his trip, the couple have been sleeping together in his room. Though Stella was adamant not to give in to his request, he had his own ways to make her say yes. He wanted to move her belongings and stuff to his room as well but decided against it. He knew his precious will go crazy if he even proposed the idea of doing that.
After entering in his room, he made her sit on the bed as he went down on his knees to help her remove her stilettos.
"Adam, I can do that on my own." Stella tried to retract her foot which he was holding in his hands but his firm grip didn't let her.
"Shhh!" His fingers worked swiftly on the straps of her stiletto. Stella did not have any other choice, so she just decided to sit back and enjoy being pampered by her boyfriend.
She gazed at his handsome profile, her eyes memorizing every single detail. 'How could someone be so perfect?' She was too lost in her thoughts to realize that he had already removed both of her heels and was looking back at her.
"I know that I am handsome and all, but you don't have to stare at me as if you are going to eat me." Adam's remark brought her back to the present, a crimson shade tinting her cheeks on being caught.
"What's with that face now babygirl? You could stare at me as long as you want to. I am all yours." Adam spoke up. He was holding her chin in between his fingers, tilting it up so that he could look into her eyes. When Stella finally managed to look up, she was shocker by the sight.
Her eyes met his deep gray ones, which look a bit darker than usual. She could feel the desire he held in them for her.
Adam stood up and leaned his head towards her.
"Do you know how badly I have been wanting to kiss you? Do you know how gorgeous you are looking? So much that I just want to peel this dress off you. I have been trying to control myself all night long, but I don't think that I can do it anymore." He murmured in a husky voice, sending shivers down her spine.
Stella gasped as she saw his lips hovering above hers. She saw his lips closing in and closed her eyes. She was waiting for his lips to claim hers, but….
'RINGGG!'
Adam's phone started to ring and it was a tune that he had set specially for Blake.
Stella opened her eyes with a jolt. She was Adam's lips turning into a scowl as he reluctantly stepped back.
"You should go and freshen up sweetheart." He spoke up. Stella nodded and stood up from the bed, making her way to the bathroom.
"Don't worry baby girl, we will continue where we left." Adam's voice came from behind her, making her run to the bathroom.
Adam chuckled at her reaction. She was acting like a scared little kitten.
When he saw the bathroom's door being shut, his carefree expression turned to an arctic one as his finger slid on the phones screen, connecting the call.
"This better be important." He spoke up into the phone's speaker.
"It is." Blake replied with his voice as cold as Antarctica itself.
-----------------
Adam was standing before the French glass windows of his room. He looked out at the night sky which was as dark as it could get. Even though it was a cloudless sky, not a single star was shining in the distance for one to feast his eyes on. It looked gloomy and bleak, just like Adam's mood right now.
Blake had told him about the incident that happened at the party, not leaving out a single detail. His blood was boiling in anger. He would have probably killed Rachel by now. How dare she even thought about doing something like that to his little elf?
'Looks like I have been too lenient in dealing with people.' He thought.
He felt a pair of slender arms wrapping around his trunk as a head rested on his back. His tensed muscles easing as Stella drew small circles on his chest with her dainty fingers, the gloomy expression on his face turning into a tender one.
He turned around and hugged her back, crushing his body against his.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He spoke up in a low voice, but enough for Stella to hear.
She was confused for a little while before realization dawned on her. 'Blake! You idiot!' She cursed him inwardly.
"I didn't want you to worry. And I am completely fine, aren't I?" She replied softly, still rubbing his back.
"You not telling me things, worries me more." Adam replied. He was sulking like a child with his face buried in the crook of her neck as he inhaled in her scent which was a mixture of lavender and vanilla.
"I am sorry." Stella added, withdrawing from the hug. She looked at Adam's face which was contoured in an unpleasant expression.
She saw that he was still wearing the same clothes, except for the coat, which must be lying somewhere on the floor.
She tugged on the collar of his shirt, bringing his face near hers. Standing on her toes, she crashed her lips against his, taking him by surprise.
