Broken Strings
Chapter 44

MELISSA QUIZON

“Have a snack first, kids,” I said with a smile and laid the tray of food in the middle of the low table where Reid and his classmates were working on their project.

Three of Reid’s classmates came to our house to do their project.

“Thank you, Mommy Pretty.” Thunder said.

I messed up her hair. “You’re welcome, Handsome.”

“She’s not handsome, Mommy. I’m the only handsome for you, right?” My son pouted his lips.

I approached him and squeezed his cheek. “You’re the most handsome of all the handsome, son.”

“Really?”

“I am the only handsome. No one can beat my looks.” I turned to Wright. And frowned at him.

“Picking a fight with kids. Wright?” I said. I sneer at him. I turned my gaze back to the children. “Oh hey, you kids eat first. Don’t pay any attention to him.”

I took care of the kids. I know Wright understands why we are cancelling our meeting with the wedding coordinator. Reid’s classmates are coming today and we can’t leave them.

I got up and went to Wright. I pulled him inside the kitchen. “What are you? When your son grumbles, their school project won’t finish. You are something. Tsk.”

He pressed me against the wall and wrapped his arms around my waist. “I’m handsome, aren’t I? That’s why you love me, eh.”

I slapped him on the arm. “Hey, I love you, not because of how you look, no. Do you remember before? I’m avoiding you because you’re handsome and a playboy.”

“I’m not a playboy, ah. What am I gonna do if girls are the one who’s approaching me first.”

“What a—”

“But I’m not staring at them, I’m just staring at you.” I looked at his lips just an inch away from mine.

One corner of his lips rose as I bit my lower l*p.

“Let me do the honour to bite it, Baby.” He said sensually.

“There are kids outside.” I gasped.

He chuckled. “They’re busy.”

“You’re a pervert.”

“You like my pervertedness!” He said with a smirk.

“Pervertedness? What a word, Baby.” I laughed.

His face flushed and our lips touched. My hands caressed up his nape and massaged it. I was rewarded by his m**n. He was like chewing candy as he kissing my lips. My nail scratched his shoulder as he bit my lower l*p.

“Reid! Your Daddy is eating your Mommy!”

We quickly parted when we heard that voice. I adjusted myself and Wright curse in his lowest voice as possible.

I immediately saw Reid enter inside the kitchen. His forehead is furrowed.

“No, he’s not.”

Ashton confronted Reid. “True. I saw it.”

“You’re inventing again, Ashton. How can Daddy eat my Mommy, eh, he loves my Mommy so much. You invented.” Reid said and left the kitchen to maybe continue the school project.

I gulped. “What do you need, Ash?”

“I’d like to get some water. It’s good, that I saw you. Tito Wright might have eaten you so much.”

I pressed my lips tightly together to suppress my laughter.

“Thanks,” Wright said sarcastically.

I took the glass he was holding and filled it with water from the fridge and gave it to the child. He left immediately.

“Those kids are a hindrance.” He mumbled.

“Not for me. I love kids.”

He smiled. “Really? Do you love kids? Kids. Plural. Shall we make another? How many? I’m excited.”

I grinned and tap his shoulder. “If I get pregnant, well then I’m pregnant. Okay?”

He placed his hand on my waist to prevent me from my attempt to leave. “Where are you going?”

“I’ll take care of the kids.”

“How about me?” He pouted.

“You’re for tonight. So no one can disturb us.” I said, seducing him.

“Oh. You’re good at keeping me hanging, Baby.” He whispered in my ear. “That’s unfair.”

“Let me go.”

He bit his lower l*p to hide the smile. “On one condition.”

I fold my arms. “What?”

“K**s me. I want it long.”

I look at him in disbelief. “You’re just getting revenge, eh.”

“Why should I?”

“You want the kids to blame me for eating you.”

He laughed hard. “Okay, fine. I’ll let you go. We can eat each other tonight. No water break.”

“Are you trying to kill me?” I can’t believe it said.

“You’ll like it.”

I raised my eyebrow. “Is that a promise?”

“No, Baby. It’s a guarantee.” He kissed my cheeks before letting me go.

–

“Mommy, the glue is not enough,” Reid told me.

“Do you need more for the scrapbook?” I asked them.

“Yes.” Their smile widened as they spoke at the same time.

“Hmm. All right. Let’s buy. What, let’s go?” I invite them. They nodded. “Just wait, ha. I’ll talk to our driver first.”

I got up and went up the stairs. I knocked on the door of Wright’s home office before I could open it. It lowered the paper it was holding and looked at me in amazement.

“They ran out of glue. Let’s go buy together.” I told him as I walked closer.

I turned around at his desk and sat on his lap. I glued my thighs together and wrapped my arms around its neck. I immediately felt its warm palm caressing my waist.

“Okay. Let’s eat at the restaurant with the kids so you don’t have to cook. I know you’re tired of taking care of them.” It says softly.

“How thoughtful of you, my sweet husband.”

He jokingly bit my arm. “I love you.”

I smiled sweetly. “I love you too.”

“K**s me.” He smiled.

I shook. “No.”

“Please. You’re so beautiful.” He laughed.

“I’m really beautiful. That’s why you chased me, eh.”

He squeezed my waist. “I love you so I chased you. You chased me too, didn’t you?”

“I love you too. It’s too much.” He stared at me and I stared back at him. I can see the adoration and love in his eyes.

Wright’s hot mouth rubbed over mine in a slow k**s, his lips firm but deliciously soft, his fingers warm against my cheeks. He deepened the k**s, making my knees wobble. He immediately slid one hand in my short, curling his fingers over my h*p. I m****d and rub my hands over his broad chest.

I was startled when there was a knock behind the closed door.

“Mommy, come on.” Reid’s sweet voice. I couldn’t answer because Wright didn’t want to let go of my l*p. “Why is no one answering?”

“Hala, Reid! Maybe your Daddy has already eaten your Mommy!”
