Chapter 34
Anthony was discharged from the hospital after five days of treatment. His condition gradually improved and he was no longer comfortable lying on the VIP room bed.
Skylan was a hmir sullen when she picked Anthony up. She felt that Anthony actually still had to receive treatment so that his health would recover completely
“Come on, Sky, I’m fine,” Anthony said in a coaxing tone, while watching Skylar pack his bag. “The doctor said that the wound on my stomach is not infected or anything and he himself was amazed at how quickly I recovered”
Skylar stopped moving, putting Anthony’s clothes into the bag. She stood next to Anthony, looking at him with a frown.
“Why don’t you just think that you are resting right now,” Skylar said softly. “You’ve been so busy lately and never take a break where you just sleep. cat and really rest, right?”
Anthony’s eyebrows rose, then with a faint smile, he grabbed Skylar’s hand and pulled her towards him.
Anthony sat on the side of the bed and Skylar stood between Anthony’s open legs. A very close and intimate position.
“It I really have to rest. I’d rather spend it with you and the kids. Even just staying at home and watching you work on your laptop, or the kids watch cartoons, that’s enough. Rather than lying down 24 hours in this luxurious room, but confined by the smell of medicine and disinfectant, and the hum of the monitor machine. Anthony said in an annoyed tone. “I can hold myself back from staying because I have you to accompany me
Anthony put his arms around Skylar’s waist and lowered himself a little so that he could rest his head on her chest.
Skylar’s heart beat fast and became a soothing rhythm for Anthony. He closed his eyes in bliss.
Skylar felt a tingling sensation in her body, realizing how their bodies were so attached to each other
Anthony’s distinctive scent—a combination of cinnamon, citrus, and pine forest, felt so masculine, but calming and fresh, making Skylar’s stomach feel full of butterfly wings.
She raised both hands and wrapped them around Anthony’s neck
How long had it been since they were this close? A long time. In fact, in the six years they had been together, they had only been in a situation like
Anthony was too respectful of Skylar’s personal space and kept her from anything that could make things awkward. He held back, although he never hesitated to express his feelings in his words and daily behavior, but everything was always kept within the boundaries of Skylar’s politeness and safety
“Im just worried,” Skylar said, half whispering “I hurt you and I need to make sure you’re okay.
Anthony rubbed Skylar’s back gently. “Hey, who hurt me? It wasn’t you at all, baby, That guy did it and the guy who told him to do it.”
“Yeah, but he did it because you were trying to protect me and the kids, Skylar argued bbornly. “If it wasn’t for–mmmhhh…”
Skylars words died in midair as Anthony stopped her by planting a kiss on her lips.
Skylar froze for a moment, feeling her lips press against Anthony’s soft ones. Then, instinct took over and she responded to the kiss, setting aside her worries and replacing them with a feeling of happiness she couldn’t quite put into words.
The kiss was soft as marshmallows, sweet and moist. Anthony’s lips moved slowly along Skylar’s lips, touching them carefully, as if she were tasting the most delicious and expensive meal in the world, one that had to be savored for every drop of sauce, every leaf of vegetable, and every piece of
Skylar gripped Anthony’s thick hair on the nape of his neck and that made Anthony try to move further, inserting his tongue into the gap between Skylar’s lips and breaking into her mouth
“Minhhh Skylar moaned softly, as Anthony explored her mouths with his tongue, looking for her tongue to dance with in a warm rhythm of
Authony’s hand squeezed Skylar’s waist, as a grip to hold back the explosion of his passion that was starting to feel passionate.
No. He wanted to go further, but not here, on this!
is hospital bed. Not now, because he was still not sure that Skylar had fully recovered from the trauma of a bad intimate relationship in her past.
Thank you to David, a super jerk who had made a woman as
as beautiful as Skylar frigisl.

was still able to wait longer, for Skylar to be his complicly.
ly and vice versa, Skylar would accept him completely.
Chapter 31
The hidden desire for Skylar manifested itself softly and thinly, rising very slowly, when she felt how Anthony embedded his feelings in every movement of his tongue, lips, and hand movements on her, which were very careful and calculated so as not to surprise and hurt her.
Skylar’s heart melted. She dared to move more intensely, starting first, because she suddenly realized that she wanted Anthony to do more daring
Skylar took Anthony’s tongue and made a naughty sucking motion. For a moment, she could feel Anthony’s hand that was squeezing her waist, stopped, as if the owner of the hand was stunned.
Skylar smiled and the movement of her lips made Anthony take over the kiss to be deeper.
away from each other with regret
The increasingly thin air that finally separated their lips, which were forced to move away
Skylar and Anthony pressed their foreheads together with their eyes closed, regulating their breath that had been short of breath because of the
sensation.
In the six years together, they had never kissed like this.
Hugs and kisses on the cheeks, forehead, and head, were commonplace, to express the feelings that were created but never more than that.
Not because they didn’t want to, because sometimes the situation that led to it was already pictured, but both of them held back.
Especially Anthony, because he knew Skylar would move away as far as possible when he crossed the line. As for Skylar, because she was unsure, her body could respond well to a form of intimacy.
“You’ll take good cafe of me, right?” Anthony whispered, raising his hand to caress Skylar’s check.
Skylar opened her eyes and pulled away from Anthony, then smiled with blushing cheeks and nodded.
“Of course,” she said. “Let’s go home:
On the way home. Anthony called his uncle, making sure the bodyguards he had asked for were ready at Skylar’s house.
“He sent ten men, Anthony said as he put his phone on the dashboard of the car and sat back in the seat.
Skylar turned her attention from the road in front of her, to Anthony who was sitting next to her. Her eyebrows raised
“Why so many?” she asked confused.
Anthony shook his head. “It’s not that many and I might ask for a few more me later, after I arrange their placement”
“Anthony, don’t” Skylar said in a surprised tone. “I don’t want to bother too many people. Besides, I think it might be a little uncomfortable to have so many people watching around me.”
Anthony reached out and stroked Skylar’s hair. “Don’t worry about it, baby. You and the kids won’t even know there’s anyone watching you. They’re experts in disguise, snipers, and shadow troops who I don’t think have shadows. They move in stealth”
“Uh… Okay, if you say so, Skylar said, still hesitant.
I’m not just doing this for you and the kids, Sky, Anthony said, his tone firm and undeniable this time. “It’s for my own sanity and peace of mind. I can’t be by your side all the time, but I can’t put you and the kids in danger either. I don’t trust the police, so I’d rather pay all those professionals to watch over you, even when I’m not there.

“Thanks,” she said softly
Anthony got out of the car, once the vehicle had pulled into the driveway. He expanded his chest and took in as many breaths as he could, enjoying the different air from the strong smell of disinfectant in the hospital.
“Ah, I’m glad to be home, Anthony mumbled. He then walked to the back of the car and opened the trunk door, dropping his bag off. “When aTË the kids coming home?”
“This afternoon. Wendy will drop them off here after she finishes work, while picking up some files 1 finished yesterday,” Skylar replied.
“Can’t we just pick them up now?” Anthony asked.
“No,” Skylar said with a laugh. “They’ll tire you out, and the doctor wants you to rest again when y

Skylar opened the door and held it, while Anthony got in behind her. She turned on the lights and turned to grab Anthony’s bag, but stopped when she saw Anthony standing stunned in the closed doorway
“Anthony?” Skylar is called softly, confused by Anthony’s attitude,

Anthony blinked and looked at her with an unreadable gaze.
“Sky,” Anthony said softly. He walked over to Skylar and his hands reached out, grabbing her waist. “I want to kiss you again. Is that okay?”
Skylar blushed.
