An Invitation
Devlin was busy signing papers when his secretary came knocking at the door to his office.
“Come in.” He said while still engrossed with his work.
“Sir, this just came in now.” The secretary said with a neat envelope in his hand. Devlin’s eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the card his secretary was giving him. He immediately dismissed his secretary while checking the envelope.
At the back of it, their names were neatly handwritten. To Mr. and Mrs. Devlin Wesley. He was completely surprised. There are only very few people who knew that he is married. His own family, Attorney Harrison, and the judge.
He opened it knowing that it is an invitation to something important. And it is indeed very important. The heading says it all… Engagement Party of Dalton and RavenCopyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
‘It is with great pleasure to formally invite you as we take the next step of our life together. We would be grateful to have your support and love. We hope to share this special moment with you.’
Devlin’s expression was grimmed. He does not really know what to feel. He thought he was completely over with Raven. A part of him was genuinely happy for her and his brother’s engagement. However, there is a tiny regret he felt.
He immediately stopped his thoughts when Amber’s face came to his mind. She is his wife now. And then the past few days were one of the happiest days in his life. Amber makes him happy. That is enough for him. Raven was his past. She also made sure that he understood that what they had was over a long time ago.
He checked the date of the engagement party. It will be a week from now. He wanted to contact his brother or Raven to make sure that it is a private party among close friends. He wanted to keep his wedding to Amber a secret for now. He saw how the media treated her during the business dinner. They were almost harassing her. He wants to give her a peaceful life, far away from the prying eyes of the media and the public. He is almost a celebrity. He is used to the limelight.
After a few minutes deep in his thoughts, Devlin decided to call his brother. He never personally called his brother through his phone. If he needs anything from him, he always asks his secretary or Attorney Harrison to relay his message to him. However, this one is a private matter.
He called his brother’s phone but he was out of reach. He dialed Raven’s number instead. After a few rings, her pleasant voice came.
“Hello Devlin? How are you?” Raven asked jovially. He could also hear some people talking in the background.
“Could I talk to you for a few seconds? I called Dalton but his phone is out of reach.”
“He must still be in a meeting with a client right now.” Devlin could not hear the voices in the background anymore. She must have moved somewhere.
“Anyway, I got your invitation to your engagement party. Congratulations by the way.” He said sincerely.
“Thank you so much. I actually was thinking of personally handing you the invitation.” She seriously said from the other line.
“And by the way, I did not formally congratulate you on your wedding. I felt disappointed that you did not invite me or any of us… I mean for old time’s sake. I hope you treat her well. She seems to be a nice woman.” She said frankly. She still wonders how Devlin and Amber got married in haste. She felt something was amiss. But who is she to judge? When she saw them for the first time, she thought that they looked great together.
“Well, we are planning to have a bigger wedding. For sure, everyone will be invited.” Devlin said readily. He is surprised to hear himself saying things without even a hint of hesitation. After their phone conversation, he actually felt relieved.
He finished his work earlier. While on his way to his penthouse, he decided to drop by a flower shop to get a nice bouquet of roses for his wife. ‘Wife’… he likes the sound of that word every single day now. He used the private elevator to his penthouse which reminds him to put Amber in the system. So, she can readily use it as well.
When he got inside his penthouse, everything was its usual place except he smelled something from the kitchen. His lovely wife must be cooking right now. He loosened up his tie and set his suitcase on the center table in the living room. He slowly made his way to the kitchen. He saw Amber busy cooking while listening to upbeat music on her phone. He lightly chuckled when he saw her starting to sing and dance while cutting some vegetables.
“Hmmm…you look good at what you are doing.” He said when he got closer to her. His bouquet of flowers was still hidden behind him. He quickly stole a kiss on her cheek when she faced him. He immediately gave her the flowers which made her smile widely.
“Thank you. These are beautiful.” She lowered the fire from the oven before she took off her apron. She went around the house to look for a vase or anything to set the flowers in. When she found one, she went back to the kitchen and set it on the dining table as a centerpiece decoration.
“How was your day?” She asked candidly while she returned her attention to cooking. Devlin’s lips slightly parted. He is slightly disappointed. He expected her to hug him tightly and share a fiery kiss.
“It was okay. I was busy from work.” He answered simply while taking the nearest chair to him. Amber also finished cooking their dinner.
“Are you hungry now? Dinner is ready.” She announced with a beaming smile. He always likes her smiling face. When he looks at her, he feels nothing can ever go wrong. She exudes that positive aura.
“I have to take a shower first. I had a long day. I would like to look good for my wife.” He said with a teasing smile. He even winked at her which made Amber’s heart flutter.
‘Here we go again.’ She thought to herself. He does know how to play with words to impress her.
“Alright, you go take a shower now. I will just put away the dishes in the washer and I will take a shower as well.” She simply said. She was about to walk away but Devlin pulled her hand.
“Not too fast, wife. Leave those later. I can take care of those. Why don’t we shower together?” He suggested while moving his eyebrows up and down. She giggled from what he did. She lightly hit his arm.
“Alright but just shower, nothing else.” She reminded him. Last time they showered together, he ended up taking her over and over again despite her soreness. She marched towards their room but she did not see the naughty smile he had.
The shower took longer than usual. Of course, Devlin will not hold on to his words. He took his wife right when they got inside their bedroom. When she protested, he pinned her arms up against the door. He carried her up and put her legs around his waist. Without warning, he immediately got inside his wet, warm core. Amber was too giddy with pleasure to even protest. She surrendered herself completely to him.
They had another round when they got inside the bathroom. Her insatiable husband could not get enough of her. He took her again, setting her on the bathroom counter. He slowly took his time. Kissing her lightly on the lips, her neck down to her twin peaks. Massaging each one unhurriedly. It brought shivers down to her spine. On impulse, she wrapped her legs around his waist, too delirious to even think of anything else but what Devlin is doing to her.
“Ohhhhh…” She let out a long moan when she felt him in her molten core. He is making her insane.
“Dev…please take me now. I could not take it any longer.” She whispered softly, pleading to make her his again.
He gently made a full thrust deep in her. She matched the rhythm he was making. And not for long, they both screamed in pure ecstasy. Only loud moans could be heard inside their bathroom. They didn’t take their dinner until a few hours later.
