Chapter 96 - A Future With Her (1/2)

When Atlas got back form the bathroom, Meredith wasn't there. He put on his trousers, picked his phone and went to look for her. He searched the living room, the garden and library but she wasn't there.

His heart pounded violently in his chest. He was afraid something had happened to her. He walked past the kitchen to check the basement but he paused in front of the kitchen when he heard someone singing in the kitchen.

He walked slowly inside and saw Meredith dancing to a music playing on her phone as she flipped something on the stove.

His lips pulled into a smile without him even realizing. He leaned against the wall as he enjoyed the show. Anytime he saw her happy, his heart swelled with happiness. Her happiness was his everything, his happy pills, hope, obsession-call it anything you wanted to.

He would do anything to always put her smile on that beautiful face of hers.

She shook her body to the rhythm of the beat as she put off the fire. She was too caught up in her own concert as she screamed the lyrics of the song that was playing to even notice Atlas watching her leaning against the wall.

She gasped in surprise when her gaze met his.

”Atlas!” She squealed, her cheeks reddening in embarrassment.

A smirked tugged his lips while his eyes shimmered with affection.

”How long have you been standing there?” She asked breathlessly, her eyes roaming his figure. Atlas was wearing trousers but he was shirtless. Heat crawled on her face and she looked away.

”Long enough to enjoy the show.” He spoke.

”What a beautiful sight to see you singing and dancing as you prepare me breakfast. I could get use to this forever,”

Meredith blushed again and rolled her eyes. He approached her as she poured the hot coffee in a cup. After she was done, she felt him hugging her from behind.

”Why can't I get enough of you?” He whispered, his breath tickling her ear, sending shivers down her spine.

”Well…because I'm erm….” Meredith flushed not finding the right word.

”Beautiful.” Atlas completed the sentence for her.

Meredith bit her lips as his words sent a rush of warmth through her.

”You had no idea how scared I was, when I didn't find you in the bedroom. I thought-” He trailed off his voice low and husky.

”I guess I can't bear to be away from you for too long.” He nuzzled her neck before pressing a soft kiss on her shoulder.

”See the power you have over me love, my body yearns for you so much.” He chuckled lowly. His hard erection pressing against her ass. She didn't need to be naked or dress seductively to have his body submit to her. His body recognized her as his and only his.

Shit. He had forgotten to ask her how she was this morning after yesterday. Guilt rushed through him.

He turned her around to face him. He caressed her cheeks and gazed into her eyes

”How are you feeling?” He asked, his voice filled with genuine concern.

”I'm fine!”

Atlas furrowed his brows, ”Are you sure?”

Meredith nodded, ”Yeah…I'm really okay. The medicine helped plus I heal fast remember?”

”Well, I want to find out if you're lying or not.” He whispered and nibbled her ears.

”W-what…. the food will get cold. Let's eat breakfast.” She stuttered, her heart thudding in her chest.

”Yes, breakfast.” Atlas said, pressing a kiss at the place her neck meets her shoulder.

”I'm not talking about the coffee and pancakes. It looks delicious but it can definitely wait.” He said, his voice playful.

Meredith yelped as he lifted her to sit on the counter. He gave her lower lip a hungry nibble and she moaned. He cupped her head and kissed her slow and passionately. He could kiss her forever.

He trailed his mouth along her jawline as his hand cupped her breast kneading them. Meredith moaned and threw her head back giving him perfect access to her neck.

Meredith gasped as his mouth found her nipples. His tongue flickered around it as he sucked it causing a moan to leave her mouth.

”A-si-tlas.” She let out a shaky breath, her hands tugging on his hair as his lips assaulted her nipples.
