Page 77 of My Heart's Doctor

“I didn’t know you were coming back today,” she remarked, and I realized I had unsettled her, which I liked.

“I wanted to come back as soon as possible.”

“If you had let me know, I would have tried to keep Aurora awake for you.”

“Is Aurora asleep?” I asked, to make sure, because although I was eager to see her, I knew my daughter was fine, and now my priority was to convince Devon that we should get back together.

“She fell asleep about an hour ago,” she replied, but she remained standing at the door without inviting me in.

“May I come in?”

“Yes, I’m sorry. Please come in,” she said, stepping aside to let me pass.

I entered the living room and immediately turned to look at her. She was wearing a short dress with straps and was barefoot, the embodiment of temptation. She closed the door and then turned to face me, finding me devouring her with my eyes, and I couldn’t help but smile.

“May I go see Aurora?” I asked, and noticed her eyes were fixed on my mouth, which not only emboldened me but excited me tremendously.

“Of course, she’s sleeping in the bedroom across from mine,” she replied, averting her gaze shyly because she’d been caught staring.

“I remember where yours is,” I stated, knowing that comment would make her recall the wonderful moments we’d shared together and to let her know I hadn’t forgotten them.

I headed there, and when I arrived, the bedroom door was open. Looking inside, I froze. My daughter was sleeping peacefully in a beautiful white bed with white and pink bedding. The room was decorated with a mixture of pink and pastel green tones. It was undoubtedly decorated with a feminine touch and showed aesthetics, fun, and comfort. It was probably the bedroom my daughter had always dreamed of, but this caused me great confusion. Why did Devon have a bedroom for little girls? I had assumed she wasn’t a mother, but what if...

“What’s wrong?” she asked, I imagine upon seeing my bewilderment.

“Devon, do you have or did you have a daughter?” I asked, because two ideas were going through my mind. One was that Devon was a mom and hadn’t told me about her children, the other was that she had lost a daughter.

“What?” she asked, looking at me as if I had gone crazy.

“Why do you have a bedroom for a little girl?”

“Until today I didn’t have one. We bought all this yesterday for Aurora because I wanted her to feel comfortable and not miss home so much. I’m sorry if it bothers you, I assure you it was only so she would be as comfortable as possible, I didn’t do it with any other intention. I wasn’t using this room for anything,” she stated, surprising me again, but at that moment I understood that she had interpreted my surprise as annoyance.

I couldn’t let her think that way because the only thing that gesture inspired in me was gratitude. I took her chin and lifted her face so she would look at me.

“Thank you, Devon.”

“You don’t have to thank me. You know I care a lot about Aurora.”

“Only Aurora?” I dared to ask, no longer wanting to beat around the bush, I wanted to kiss her because I was going crazy to taste those lips again.

“What?” she asked again, and I noticed her shyness reflected in her rosy cheeks.

This woman surprised me every minute. I couldn’t even remember the last time I had been with a woman who blushed, perhaps I had never been with one. And I couldn’t take it anymore. Without saying a word, I took her hand and dragged her to her bedroom. She let me. I closed the door and stood in front of her, bringing my hands to her beautiful face to cup it and look into her eyes.

“You didn’t answer me.”

That simple contact was killing me. I desired her so much that I was about to go crazy. I don’t know if she was aware of my excitement, but I had never felt this way about anyone.

“I’ve been thinking about you a lot too,” she stated with certainty, and it was as if my soul had returned to my body.

“And I haven’t been able to think about anything but you, Devon Dulcet, my sweet doctor,” I confessed, and lowered my lips to hers to kiss her with all the desire that was boiling inside me.

I wrapped my arms around her and she responded by raising hers to my neck and embracing me tightly. It was like coming home after being away for a while... that’s how wonderful it felt. The kiss raised the temperature of our bodies and transformed into an ardent and desperate kiss. Her taste was exquisite, she tasted like Devon, like sweetness and wine.

“God, Devon, I need you. I don’t think you can imagine how much I want you. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you, I’m going crazy,” I whispered against her lips, and began to remove her clothes.

When I had her naked before me, I knew I was the luckiest man in the world. She was perfect, she was beautiful, she was sweet, and she was mine. Without taking my eyes off her, I undressed as quickly as I could, under the attentive gaze of this angel I had in front of me, who at that moment was looking at me as if she wanted to immerse herself in sin and drag me with her.
