Chapter 66: 66 ~ Mira
I could feel my body shake in anticipation as he took my hand. I knew that look in his eyes.
The cake got to the room before us, set on the coffee table in front of the couch.
The staff that brought it up scurried off immediately.
He took off his leather jacket and dropped it carelessly on the bed. I watched him take the knife and cut into the cake, taking a small bite with a fork. When he was done, he came to me, holding my face with both hands, he kissed me roughly letting me taste the burst of sweet flavors on his tongue.
I moaned into the kiss, fiddling with his belt as his hands roamed every part of my body.
I thought we were moving towards the bed but he turned and carried me to the couch instead.
I took off my top and joggers, left only in my underwear as he smeared his fingers with a ton of icing.
"Take them off," he ordered, referring to my undies.
With my eyes still locked on his, I unhooked my bra and threw it at him. I did the same with my panty. He caught it and something about the way he sniffed it did something to me. I found myself moaning without his touch. I was slowly losing control.
With slow precision, he rubbed the icing over boobs, especially teasing my nipples.
He leaned over me on the couch as I laid sideways, stopping his weight from pressing down on me. He took one of my nipples into his mouth and let his tongue trail over it.
I felt my eyes roll to the back of my head as my mouth stayed open.
With his clean hand, he dipped his index finger into my wetness. My moan came out as a whimper as he fingered me and sucked my nipples simultaneously.
He came up and kissed me and I sucked on his lips hungrily. When he went back down, I felt him lick every bit of icing off me.
But just when I thought he was about to unzip and let his cock slide into me, his phone rang. The shrill sound interrupted and even though I wanted to pull him to myself, I knew it was not my move to make.
He picked up the phone and I watched his face change from a neutral expression to slight worry and panic.
"I have to go," he got up.
I didn’t realize when the whimper of disappointment escaped my throat.
"But we aren’t done." I said.
"The authorities are trying to invade one of my warehouses Mira. I need to go." He said, sounding slightly upset.
I swallowed and nodded. His explanation was valid but I was already too turned on.
He buckled up, slid his jacket on and rushed off, leaving me out in the cold with not even a goodbye kiss.
Why was I even expecting something like that?
It was just sex. There was no love here.
I needed to stop getting carried away and focus on the game I was playing at.
Getting on my feet, I went into the bathroom to wash off every reminder of all that just happened minutes prior.
And when I was done with that, I found myself back in the room eating the cake I had baked to seduce my husband. It had worked exceptionally well by the way but it didn’t go all the way due to unfortunate circumstances.

My period came later that evening which meant there was no trying for a baby for the next couple of days. I huffed and puffed in frustration. I couldn’t wait for it to be over.
I didn’t see him for the rest of the night. I just sat there, taking one slice after the other from the cake until I slept off.
When I woke up in the morning, he obviously wasn’t here. I did not hear him come in, in the middle of the night either.
This meant I was not going to be prepping breakfast for him as usual or making lunch but a part of me wondered where he was and if he was able to sort things out with the authorities.
I took a quick shower after brushing my teeth, then I slipped into my gym wear.
Without being allowed to go anywhere else or work as usual, the gym was the only place I could burn out the extra flesh I had gathered in the last couple of months. And though the fat accentuated my curves, I wanted to be as fit as possible.
I saw Donna Carmela on my way to the indoor gym.
"Do you know where your husband is?" She asked me, not bothering to respond to my greeting.
"Uh, no?"
"I thought you were trying to play the doting wife." She sneered.
I was taken aback my her jab. Did I actually do anything wrong?
"He’s in police custody!" She exclaimed.
I flinched in shock.
"He did mention something about the authorities raiding his warehouse, I didn’t-"
She cut me off. "Go and wear something appropriate. You’re coming with me to the station. Quick!"
I practically jumped as she ordered me to. I went to the closet and for lack of a better thing to wear in such haste, I picked up a simple brown maxi dress, threw it over my head and slid my legs into matching Hermes slides. Then I sprayed few puffs of my perfume over myself, I did not carry a handbag, just my phone as I hurried downstairs.
Donna took a brief look at me as I joined her in the back seat of her vehicle.
"Untie your hair."
"Hmm?"
She gave me a stern look. I quickly picked up my phone and used the dark screen as a mirror. My hair was still wrapped up for the gym so I untied it and allowed my fingers run through it to free the waves.
The ride was filled with awkward silence. I had never ridden with her to anywhere, not even when she was planning our wedding. It felt weird. I was even scared to breathe.
Arriving at the station, I saw Jace coming out of there. It seemed Tomas had already bailed him out as they walked side by side.
Faking my concern and of course choosing to play the doting wife, I jogged towards him and gave him a hug. I’m sure he was surprised.
"Are you okay?" I asked, touching his face. He looked like he had barely slept and a part of me actually felt bad for him.
"I’m fine. Why are you here?" He asked, looking confused.
"I had to come with Donna." I replied.
"You didn’t have to. It’s sorted."
"But why did they arrest you though? Did they find anything?" I asked.
"This is not the time for such a conversation." He shunned me and then turned to Tomas. "Let’s go."
"You’re not coming home?" I still went ahead to ask.
He ignored me and walked to his mother who was talking to the officer in church.
I felt so embarrassed. Why was he being so rude and cold when I was simply just concerned about his wellbeing?
"Don’t think about it too much. He’s just upset and he’ll come around." Tomas said from behind me.
I looked at him and forced a smile as I nodded.
Jace was never going to come around and I knew it.
