Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

" We can talk over the phone whenever we want. If you want to see each other, we will meet…" he said, placing his hand on her bare shoulder pulling her closer.

She leaned her head on his chest holding him tightly. She wanted to stay in his arms forever.

" Buttercup... Don't think about anything, sleep now. " he kissed the top of her head.

She raised her head and smiled weakly looking at him. They laid on the bed and slept in each other's embrace.

…

….

" Adrian…."

" Adrian…"

He heard someone knocking on the door. He lazily opened his eyes and noticed Katherine sleeping on his chest hugging him like a teddy bear. His lips curved to smile on seeing her face. But soon his smile vanished as someone disturbing him by knocking on the door. He recognized it was Thomas' voice and decided to open the door. He placed her head gently on the pillow and quickly wore his shorts.

" What…!!!" " he asked Thomas in an irritating voice.

Thomas' eyes popped out when he found lipstick marks on Adrian's neck and chest. 

" So...this is the reason….you and Katherine sleeping till now…" he teased Adrian.

Adrian placed his hand on his nape and rubbed there without answering his question. He knew his best friend would make him embarrassed.

" Shut up….and tell me why do you disturb my sleep!! " he asked him.

" It's going to be noon in one hour and you are asking me...why I disturbed you!!" He informed and laughed hysterically, placing his hand on his stomach.

" What!!!" Adrian exclaimed in surprise that he never wakes late.

" Yes...my bestie. It's 11.10 in the morning. I was worried about Katherine's health and knocked on the door but I came to know about something… something…" he teased Adrian again.

" We are fine. Just leave from here. Katherine will be disturbed by your noise…" he sent Thomas away from the room.

He closed the room and stared at her sleeping figure. She was sleeping soundly as if she did not sleep for ages. His eyes caught the love bytes of him on her neck and her shoulder because the quilt was covered up to her chest. He walked towards her and sat at the edge of the bed. 

Watching her face, he remembered all the incidents of the previous night. He leaned towards her and pecked her forehead. 

" I love you...buttercup" he whispered.

" I love you too…" she replied with a small smile even though she was in deep sleep. 

He laid beside her and pulled her closer to him. As soon as her bare skin touched him, the desire for her started building in his body. But he controlled himself as he noticed how tired she was because of the previous night's lovemaking session between them. He doesn't want her to force his feelings which makes her uncomfortable. While stroking her hair, he lost himself staring at her without blinking his eyes.

….

….

After a while, she opened her eyes and found herself in his arms. She kissed his cheeks and wished him, " Good morning"

" Good afternoon...love. Hope you are so tired because of our lovemaking," he said with a naughty smile.

She hugged him tightly, hiding her head in his chest. 

" Are you giving a signal to take you once again?" He asked her to tease her.

She moved away from him and slapped on his chest playfully for teasing her. He held her hands and kissed her soft palms.

" Buttercup...you are more beautiful when your face turns red…" he informed and pecked her lips.

Suddenly his eyes darkened when he noticed her twin globes as the quilt moved slightly from her body. She noticed it and clutched the quilt and covered it up to her neck.

" You become so shameless…" she glared.

" Of course I am. And also I am shirtless now. If you want me to prove it. I will take off my shorts" he teased her.

" Adrian…stop teasing me." She said bashfully.

" I saw every inch of yours last night. No need to cover herself. You are all mine and I have all right to see you" he whispered and kissed her shoulders. 

She felt a shiver through her spine with the touch of his warm lips.He snuggled in her neck and said, " You are my lucky charm...buttercup."

 She closed her eyes to calm her racing heartbeat. She wished to stay with him like that till eternity. But to her disappointment, he moved away from her.

"For now, complete your personal chores and come fast. We will have lunch together and start for our city" he said, noticing the gloominess in her. 

He lifted her along with the quilt in his arms. Then he dropped into the bathroom. As soon as she stood on her feet, she hissed with sharp pain between her legs.

" What happened? Are you okay?" He asked her in a worried expression.

" A bit sore…in..." She stopped in between and lowered her head.

He understood the meaning of her words. He hugged her and whispered " I am sorry...I think….I was rough...last night"

" This is the sweet pain. I loved all the moments we spent last night. Don't worry about me. I will be fine in a short while. " She replied and sent him away from the washroom.

She returned after bathing and did not find Adrian in the room. She thought that he left her alone to give her privacy. She quickly wore black jeans and a turtle neck white top to cover his love marks to be noticed by others. 

When she walked out of the room, she heard the conversation between Thomas and Adrian about the cash prize in the motorcycle race. She understood that the amount was not enough for designing the new model car which he had started. And also she knew that he doesn't take financial help from her because he believes that money between two people creates distance. Then she got an idea to help him.

She walked towards them and greeted Thomas. Thomas smiled at her. All the time, she listened to their conversation silently. After having lunch, she purposely sent Adrian to bring one ice cream for her. As soon as Adrian went away from them, she said, " I need to talk with you about something important"

" Tell me...Kathie," Thomas said and looked at her.

" You have to help me," she said and was hesitant to speak further.

" You can share anything with him," he informed.

" I want to help Ad by financing for his new design of the car. But I don't want him to know that I am helping him because he doesn't accept it from me like you already know how self-respect he is and he doesn't want financial dealing in a relationship" she explained.

" You can trust me in this," he said, placing his hand on her knuckles.

" Thank you…" she replied with a smile.

She gave him a cheque of $ 50,000 and pleaded with him to keep it a secret between them.

" I thought my friend was only crazy about you. But I understood that you are also crazy in love with him. I wish you both are destined to be together…" Thomas said.

" Thanks for your wishes…" Katherine said meanwhile Adrian returned with the ice creams. 

" Where is yours?" Thomas asked Adrian. 

Adrian replied, " I will have it in the room before packing our luggage" but his eyes were on Katherine. She gulped her throat nervously as she knew how he likes to taste the ice cream.

" Buttercup...shall we go and pack our luggage?" He said and dragged by her wrist before she protested.

He quickly took her to the room and closed the room after they went inside. He hugged her and whispered, " I never thought you are so romantic"

" Romantic!!!" She asked in confusion and pushed him away.

" Yes. That's why you were asked to bring me ice cream, isn't it!" He questioned caressing her cheeks.

" No...no…I don't have that idea in my mind. I asked you casually…" she said nervously.

" But I got this idea instantly...buttercup. " he said mischievously and pulled her closer to him.

" Ad...stop. What will Thomas think of us? " She said to stop him.

He hushed her, placing his finger on her lips. His eyes were filled with desire and love. He hugged her and whispered, " I want you…"

She remained calm when she heard his husky voice. He removed her top upwards through her head and left in her bra but most of her treasure was covered by her hair. He unclasped her bra placing his hands at her back. He lifted in his arms and placed her on the bed carefully. 

While smiling devilishly, he took an ice cream tub in his hands and dipped a scoop in it. He stared at her milky skin which was filled with his marks. He placed the icecream with the scoop on her twin globes then on the navel on her flat stomach. She shivered slightly clenching the sheet, closing her eyes. 

He removed his shirt and threw it somewhere in the room. He hovered over her and took the left bud in his mouth.

" Ahhh....Ad…" she moaned louder with the sensation of both cold and warm touch.
