Chapter thirty six

"what are you looking for?" Marcus asked not even inviting him inside.

"Let me in first, it's kind of chilly outside, you won't want me to die of cold would you"

"Like as if I care" Marcus muttered and stepped aside for him to enter.

"I came to check your pregnant girlfriend, it's quite a news now you know, soon it'll be on the papers" his father told him.

"You Don't need to check her. She's okay, she's fine and not some gold digger who will want you"

"You never can tell, she may also want you for your money, just like Stacy did"

"Father! You ruined Stacy's relationship with mine, with your filthy works and all, but Sophie's not like that. But even i, won't let you harasse her. So kindly take your leave now."

"You know, there's something you don't seem to know about me, I do what I think is best for you. I only did what I did with Stacy because I find her to be a gold digger. And decided to test her. I never knew it would result in her getting pregnant. That was the only mistake I made"

Marcus scoffed." That wasn't the only mistake you made, you've made a lot more to ruin many lives. Including mine, and mother's own too"

"It wasn't my fault your mother died"

"Then it's whose fault, mine? The poor woman died of heart attack after she learnt that you've had six children outside with six different women, while she was still alive"

"Marcus, you Don't seem to get anything at all. But anyhow it is, am here for the best, I don't mean to cause you any harm"

Marcus nodded sarcastically.

"Well you can't snatch Sophie from me just like you did with Stacy. She's different. So don't even try in hurting her"

"She might be a gold digger son. You never can tell, All women are the same"

"If all women were the same, you would have gotten married after mom, but you didn't, because you know you can't find someone as perfect and loving as she was. So back off with your words"

His father winced, his word seem to touch a sore spot. And Marcus liked that.

"Well, but it isn't particularly my fault all this is happening. I just want a good and perfect life for you and your immediate brother"

Marcus's face deepened into a frown.

"Immediate brother?"

"Brian, he's your brother and ......."

"That bastard is my brother, and he keeps hurting me and my woman. No wonder he wants my company for himself. The one j work so hard to bring up"

"He hurt you?"

"He had Sophie kidnapped a month ago, he and that bitch called Stacy. I swear when I get my hands on them, and don't pretend you don't Know anything about this."

"Well am not pretending, because I really had no idea. But don't worry, I'll talk do e senses into him."

Marcus scoffed. Whatever.

His father turned to go. "I'll leave now, since you didn't even let me get a glimpse of this Sophie you're talking about."

"You don't need to, she's mine not yours"

His father shrugged and made toward the door. He made to open it before Marcus voice stopped him.

"Tell Brian when you see him. That this hadn't ended. One if us must die. It's either I kill him or he kills me. I won't let anyone who hurt my Sophie go scot-free"

The pain in his father's face became evident. But he maintained his composure. His gaze went up the stairs and he could see a woman standing at the balcony. She bowed slightly in firm of greeting. But he snobbed her and left.

He may be a bad father. But he really wanted Marcus to be happy and not end up with some gold digger.

**** ****

Marcus went up the stairs after his father left and caught sight of Sophie. What was she doing here.

"What are you doing? You should be resting." He said as he walked to his bedroom. Sophie followed him.

"Why do you talk so rude to your father. It's not really nice, how would you feel if your son or daughter talks to you that way.

"How are you feeling? You should go back to bedx he tried to push her away but she freed herself from his grasp and went to sit in his bed.

"Am okay. Am fine, stop worrying about me."

"How much of the conversation did you hear." He asked her removing his shirt.

Sophie watched him as he removed his shirt and she drooled over his smooth, tanned, strong muscles. His six packs clearly evident. He was goddam hot.

"From the fact that he got your ex pregnant and he thought I might be a gold digger"

"I'm sorry you had to hear that" he said turning away from her.

"It's okay, it's not even your fault. At least you defended me" she was trying hard to keep her mind stable with what he was saying. Not wanting him to see her loose focus. But she did loose focus.

"Am sorry, he is just a pain in the ass since I was a little kid. And u would never let anyone hurt you or say bad things about you. Okay?"

No reply. Marcus looked back at her and saw her staring at him. Her eyes lost in fantasy.

"Sophie....."

"Oh... yeah! What did you say"

He shook his head and smile.

"What where you thinking about" he asked knowing very well what she was thinking.

"Nothing!" She said and stood up hastily to leave but it was too late.

Marcus grabbed her hand and drew her back to himself. His hand slipping behind her waist and he buried his nose into her hair. She smelled heavenly. And so warm and soft. Oh God! No wonder she drove him crazy. He kissed her forehead, her pert nose, her cheeks then he kissed her on the lips, then he moved to her neck. Kissing her long slender neck drove him crazy. He bit her softly and she shivered.

"Marcus" she mumured.

"Oh Sophie.....you smell and taste like heaven" he told her and seized her lip in an heart wrenching kiss.

When he released her lips, he mummered to her. "Should we? I heard making love is good for pregnant women.

Sophie's cheeks went from pink to red. She blushed furiously and smiled.

"Just promise you'll be gentle."

"I promise. I will."

With Sophie nod, he carried her and placed her on the bed. First of all removing her top and singlets. She had no bra on and that only made him hard.

He removed her skirt too and dumbed them on the floor. After that he stood up to remove his own trouser and briefs. And Sophie turned her head away in embarrassment.

Marcus smiled.

He went over to her and patted her legs. Got in betwt them as he took her lip again. Kissing her senseless. He moved to her plump pink breasts. And took one nipple into his arms. The impact of his tongue made Sophie even wetter.

His lip travelled from her breast to her swollen stomach.

He placed a soft kiss on her abdomen

"This is for our baby"

He kissed his way back to her lips again and gave her a chaste kiss on the forehead.

"This is for the woman carrying my child"

Sophie could feel her heart swell and she felt her eyes blur with tear.

He entered her slowly and a smile found its way to her lips. He was gently and slow. Sophie was grateful for that. But his words had made her heart beat. And she lived him more. It even brought tears to her eyes. Not tears from the pain and pleasure she was feeling but from the joy that swelled her soft heart.

She loved him. And would forever love him.

And she prayed he'll love her too one day as much as she love him.
