The Dark Secret of the CEO

Chapter 48

Chapter 4 8

After a delicious breakfast, the three happily go out to discover what surprises Magic Kingdom will have . But nothing prepared them for what they found there.

The attractions kept them busy all day, since it was not high season, they should not have made too many queues to enjoy each one.

But right now, little Charlize sleeps sprawled in the backseat, with her head on Luz’s lap and her feet on her father’s lap. Luz’s eyes are already closing, but she knows that the journey is short, so she puts up with it a bit so as not to have to give Gerard double duty.

-Did you like the day we spent today?

-Yes, I had a lot of fun. Thank you for inviting me-she gives him a sincere smile, one of those that disarms Gerard to the seams of his clothes-. “Haven’t you changed your mind about what I asked you this morning?”

Luz’s body tenses just remembering that request… rather, the way he made that request.

Luz never slept accompanied, last night was a new experience and one that she undoubtedly wants to repeat. But certain things that scare her, like, what if Gerard wants something else? What if she wants something else herself?

Her image is already quite distorted with that pregnancy, her mind is still overwhelmed by what happened… but her body reacts very differently to being close to that man and it’s something she can’t deny.

And most likely, something I can’t even handle.

He just nods at the man’s hopeful gaze, looks down at his hands, then turns his attention back to little Charlize.

-I think that for today we will spend the night bath, I doubt that we can wake her up.

-It’s better this way, she’s not used to so much activity. When we went to the country house, she fell asleep as soon as I took her in my arms and didn’t wake up until ten in the morning the next day-1 Gerard laughs-. I even watched some TV, but she didn’t even move.

-Pobrecita, at least this is one of those days that will treasure forever.

-Do you have any? – Gerard asks her and she immediately smiles –

-Yes, it was on May 5, at my grandmother’s house in Mexico . The whole family got together and we had a great time. Nobody was more than another there, we all helped clean, cook… we danced, sang, some got drunk and gave us the best shows – she tells him wistfully-.

-Do you miss your parents?

-Very much – she tells him making a pout that causes Gerard to stop in the car and hug her -. But if I lower my head, if I’m the one looking for them, if I forgive them so easily, I’ll be giving them the reason about what they said about my son.

-I understand you… sorry for asking something so sensitive for you – he takes her hand and kisses it –

The end of the journey interrupts them, Gerard quickly gets out to take Charlize in his arms and

so Light can be lowered. George covers her with a blanket, because the night is cool, and they go to the suite in complete silence.

Gerard tells Luz that he will put the little girl to bed, a moment that she takes advantage of to get into the shower. She makes a high bun to wet her hair, the same one that Gerard finds more youthful than she

would like when leaving.

But Luz’s pajamas are what forces the man to turn around so that the bulge that hasn’t stopped threatening during the day doesn’t show.

Shorts and a tank top, that’s the pajamas that Luz has chosen for that night, without pillows, without any barriers other than her chivalry.

A nice cold shower to wash away the thoughts and then, when he comes out, he finds Luz reading a book, as if she isn’t already damned provocative. She seems so immersed in the reading that Gerard prefers to go out on the balcony for a moment, but a few minutes later the girl stands next to her, leaning her head on the man’s arm.

-This feeling of tranquility is so fantastic, I would like to keep it every day.

-I can make it like that, every day of your life – Luz is lost in the intensity of Gerard’s gaze for a few seconds and he takes advantage of those seconds to kiss her –

Luz responde cruzando sus brazos por el cuello de Gerard, él la levanta para tenerla más cerca, la piel que le queda descubierta por el pijama se siente cálida y deliciosamente suave. Ese beso se hace más intenso y un gemido de la chica cuando succiona su labio inferior, lo hace dar los pasos que los separa de la cama.

Con mucho cuidado, la recuesta y apoya uno de sus fuertes brazos para no aplastarla. Luz baja sus manos desde el cuello, pasando por su torso duro y desnudo, para luego recorrer con lentitud el camino a esos bíceps que ha querido apretar desde aquella noche que lo vio sudado por el ejercicio.

La mano libre de Gerard recorre el cuello de Luz, baja por su pecho y termina en su abdomen, se queda allí unos segundos hasta que la misma chica le enseña en camino que debe seguir, levantando la blusa.

-Te amo, Luz…

Pero ella no responde, porque las palabras se le quedan atoradas en la garganta, mientras Gerard va al encuentro con uno de sus pezones.

Ella gime bajito contra la boca de Gerard, quien se recuesta a un lado, para explorar mejor el cuerpo d e la chica, lo que Luz aprovecha para bajar una de sus manos hasta el borde del pantalón. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

El sonido gutural de Gerard trae a Luz a la realidad y lo aparta de ella, lo que deja desconcertado al hombre un segundo.

-Yo… no debería, esto está mal – se voltea a ver a Gerard y puede ver la tristeza en el hombre, lo que le provoca un sollozo -, Perdóname, lo siento tanto… no quiero que pienses que soy una cualquiera.

Se tapa el rostro con las manos y Gerard tira de ella para acostarla en la cama, la rodea con sus brazos y la obliga a mirarlo.

– I’m not going to force you to do anything, I can only tell you that I’m not like that bastard who hurt you – he gives her a soft kiss on the lips and then whispers -. I’d rather go to jail, throw myself off a bridge, than hurt you, my Little Light. two

She wipes away his tears and this time it is she who kisses him, with tenderness and devotion.

Perhaps one day she will be ready to give herself of her own free will.
