Chapter 39

FLASHBACK

(continuation of her nightmare)

Arms encircled her waist and a chin rested on her shoulder.

"Here you are! I was worried where you'd gone to! I couldn't contact your phone."

She looked at Edward and smiled tentatively.

Edward faced her to him.

"What's wrong my love?"

She shook her head and said nothing.

She held Edward's hand and led him back to their unit.

Edward didn't resist and just followed her.

Once inside their unit, she kissed him.

She kissed him with urgency.

She wants to erase the memory of what his mother told her.

Edward is confused at Mary Dale's actions.

But he doesn't have time to think anymore when she started tugging at his shirt.

He carried her to the bedroom and went straight to their bed.

He laid her down carefully.

He looked at her with so much love.

"Kiss me please!"

He could see a hint of sadness in her eyes.

When he didn't move to kiss her, she pulled him by the nape and kissed him with so much longing.

He noticed a tear escape her eye.

He pulled away from their kiss.

He held her face with so much tenderness.

"What's wrong, my love? Please tell me what's on your mind!"

She didn't open her eyes and just kept it closed.

She couldn't look at him.

"Look at me my love." he coaxed her.

She opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Edward, please don't leave me!" those were the words that she wanted to say but couldn't.

Fear crept into her heart.

But instead she forced herself to smile at him.

She directed her gaze at his lips.

"What's wrong is that you won't shut up and kiss me!" she says coyly.

That made Edward smile and forget his worries.

He kissed her.

He made love to her.

He made her feel his love.

He knows that all of this will have to end when he marries Elizabeth.

The thought of giving up Mary Dale sent him to a frenzy.

He thrusts into her with so much urgency.

After he climaxed, he made love to her again.

And again.

He made love to her like there's no tomorrow.

After they made love so many times, they lay spent in each other's arms.

He covered their naked bodies with the blanket.

He kissed her eyes.

"Sleep my love." and he stroked her hair while she snuggled in his arms.

He's tired but he couldn't sleep.

He stared at Mary Dale's face.

"How could I ever give you up my love?" he whispers to himself.
