Loving Madeline

Hunter's POV

We all stand from the dining table and said good night, Lily hugged Maddie, and she whispered something in her ear, and I can tell she captures even my sweet little sister. She holds her hand while they walk, going to the stairs. I am walking behind them, and I can tell Lily wants to devote more time with her, and I can't stop myself from being alone with Madeline, and before they can get inside their room, I speak.

"Lily, I know you wish to spend some moment with Madeline, but as you can see, I miss her today, and I need to talk with her about some important matter." I declared to my little sister, and I can tell I disappoint her, but she still smiled at me.

"Of course, I understand, Hunter; good night Maddie, see you tomorrow." She responded and hugged her one more time and do the same to me before she walks away from us. Lily has been gone for a long while. Still, I keep silent; Madeline opened her bedroom door, and I know she was confused about what to do with me, so I continue to walk behind her, and the moment she turned around, her sweet, delicate body collided with my muscular frame.

I lay my hands on her waist to steady her, and I can go through the sparks that travel my entire body. I realize I should not let myself trick with my physical reactions towards her. Maybe what I felt for her right now is just because she will be my wife, and after our wedding day, I need to claim her so that she will carry my child.

She smells so sweet, and to be honest, I want to feel her lips on my mouth again, and before she can move away from me, I lift her chin, and I captured her hungry mouth once again, we shared another passionate kiss that made her release a soft moan. Her perfect lips taste so delicious, and the way she responded to my kiss tells me she wants me and then can see the disappointment written all over her face when I stopped brushing her.

"Don't expect we are kissing because I have feelings for you, Maddie. We are doing this to be familiar with me, and I don't wish my family to consider we are not an actual couple. I will sleep here tonight in your room but don't worry, I assure you, nothing will happen tonight unless we are married. I want them to believe that we are in love and we are already doing it. Now show me your left hand." I ordered her, and I can tell my words hurt her, but I don't have a choice but to remind her, I will not cherish her.

"Didn't you hear me? Give me your left hand, Madeline." I repeated, and I can't contain my irritation. She offered me her delicate hand, and I fished out from my pocket the diamond engagement ring I bought for her, and her eyes got so big when she realized I inserted the engagement ring on her ring finger. And I felt so glad that Calixto did his job since the engagement ring fit on her smooth finger.

"Don't dare to pull it out, Maddie. That ring is a sign that we love each other. I don't wish them to think this is just an act." I said, and she nodded. I can read she has so many questions my future wife wants to ask me, but she got scared, and I can declare she is hurting. I don't wish to lead her on.

"I don't want to remind you every day, Maddie, that our upcoming marriage has one purpose only. I will not tell you about it yet since we are not yet married." I said, and I can say she was shocked, but she still nodded her head as an acknowledgment that she understands what I mean.

"May I know what should I call you?" She asked.

"Just call me Hunter," I replied in a haughty tone, and I can say she wonders why I suddenly sound like this when we were in the dining hall. I act happy and alive, but I don't want her to learn I am affected by her presence, especially her beauty.

"I will be back later, and don't forget to lock the door," I said as I move to the door and go out without a second glance. I can tell my brother is looking at Madeline with lust, and I hate him for not showing some respect to me, and I should have warned him to stay away from my wife-to-be.

I undress my suit, and I get inside my bathroom, and I take a warm shower, and I felt so fresh when I finished taking a bath. I put on my sweatpants and white sleeveless tank top, and I can't stop thinking about Maddie. I never thought Frank has an estranged daughter. How could he leave them? I wish he is still alive so that he can answer some of my questions for him. I pick up my phone and the spare key of the room and walk back to Maddie's bedroom.

I opened the door of her room, and I went through like I am an inexperienced boy again that I felt so nervous looking at her with her nightgown. At least her nightdress is presentable, I know Madeline has all the curves, but we are not yet married. I don't want to experience temptation, I am just a man, and the trick is always there. But I realize I am only fooling myself, and I can't deny Maddie is lovely; I can imagine her body under her nightgown. And I can't stay myself from thinking she is so fresh, and she just finished taking a shower. She looks so young and hot.

And I can say she is controlling herself, and I can tell Maddie wants to explore since she tasted my lips. I want to ask her to wait once we get married. I looked at her, and I can't stand my eyes staring at her long legs and her beautiful face.

"It is getting late already, and I have to work early tomorrow. Please go to bed now, Madeline." I said, and that is the time she moves to the bed. I can't stop myself from feeling so nervous and excited to be in the same bed with her, I realize we are both strangers to each other, but it feels like I recognize her for a long time now. I want to hold her body while I sleep, but I can't let her have false hopes. I am not yet ready, and I hope Madeline will be the one to wake up my heart from its current state. I know my heart is buried within my core, that it is so hard for her to reach it, and I hope one day she can dig my heart out. I tried my best to fall asleep, but I can sense she is still staring at me.

"Maddie, go to sleep and stop checking me out," I said, and I can feel her turned around from me, and I know she got embarrassed. I can't contain the wide grin on my face thinking it seemed so lovely to be lying on the bed beside her, and I find it so cute that I fascinate her.

I wake up when I sensed something on my rib cage, and the time I open my eyes, I find Madeline snuggled into my chest, and she is peacefully sleeping. Oh! No, I am in big trouble. Madeline Brownwood would be the death of me. I want to remove her legs which curled up with my body, but I don't have the heart to do it since she looks so peaceful sleeping like this. I don't have a choice but to put my arms around her body, and I realized it felt so good. I will only do this tonight, starting tomorrow. I should avoid falling asleep in her room.

We are sleeping, embracing each other, and I can't stop myself from stealing kisses from her mouth while asleep. I don't want to wake up, but I need to go to the site this morning. I slowly got up from her bed and tiptoed in, going to the door since I am so afraid to wake her up. I am glad it is summer. She has all the time to relax and get to know my family, and I hope she will avoid Parker at all costs.

"Good morning, Mr. Divenson. How was your first time meeting with your future wife?" He asked.

"How I wished you were there, Cal, to witness our first kiss," I replied.

"Oh, that is fast." He said.

"Yeah, so she has been kissed now, by me," I answered proudly.

"One more thing, we slept beside each other last night." I declared, and I can't stand myself from laughing, watching Calixto's facial expression.

"Wow, I wonder Maddie allowed you to sleep beside her." He responded. ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣ｏ𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢

"She can't even stop herself from touching me," I spoke, and I am still chuckling.

"I know what you are guessing, Cal, nothing happened between us. I perceive you have advance thinking. What do you think of me? I will never take advantage of her innocence, Cal. I will wait for her to beg me." I added, and he shook his head.

We get outside from the office and proceed to the rooftop to ride the chopper, and I always visit the site from time to time. I cherish being a mining engineer, and I love my profession. I felt being a miner runs in our blood. I am proud to be a Divenson. While riding the helicopter, I can't stop thinking about her, and I wish she will stay. I realized I hurt her last night, and I hope it will not scare her away.. I want to know her more, and I hope someday we will become an actual couple, and I desire she won't give up on me.
