Chapter 134 - Eleanors Mother (1/2)

Ch-133

After Lunch, Aiden and Regan went to the study to discuss their things. While Eleanor and Cedric went to the backyard. They sat on a stone bench under a tree shade, as they enjoyed their space.

”Happy?” Cedric asked.

”Hmmm… yeah,” Eleanor replied.

”Even I am happy,” he said.

”I know. Our marriage will be fixed soon,” Eleanor said with a smile.

”Yeah… and Martin is showing some moments. It is a good sign…” Cedric added.

”Indeed,” she said but sighed in the end.

”What happened?” Cedric asked, noticing her sigh.

”Nothing, this and that,” Eleanor said. She badly wanted to talk about her brother. She realized instead of searching about the incident alone, it would be fruitful with two people. But she was way too used to him. Even others were pointing at her saying she was using him. Edward's behavior proved that to her. She just sighed at everything. This was her first time leaning on someone way too much that made her feel like, without him, she couldn't do anything.

Eleanor wondered if she was just feeling this way with him or was she that useless? If she was useless… then everything she achieved was nothing? She couldn't help but feel bitter. Closing her eyes, she let the calm breeze hit her face as she leaned back on the backrest.

”Don't worry everything will be alright,” Cedric said.

Cedric understood that something was going on in her mind, if she wanted to say she would have said that. If not she wouldn't have been silent.

”Do you have any plans tonight?” Cedric asked after some silence.

”No...why?” she said.

”I want you to meet my friends,” he said.

”Oh,” she responded.

”If you are okay I will do the arrangements,” he added.

”Okay,” she said.

Cedric smiled at her response. He moved closer to her and pulled her into his embrace. He could smell her unique fragrance which was a mixture of jasmine and orange.

”I love you,” these words left his mouth without his knowledge. But he didn't regret it. After all, he said these words to the love of his life.

Eleanor felt lighter in his embrace. Burying her head in his chest, she snuggled closer to him. She felt warm and comfortable in his embrace. His masculine scent was calming her nerves. Closing her eyes, she enjoyed his scent along with the cool breeze under the shade of the tree. Oddly everything calmed her down. Despite everything she couldn't help but feel that there was still a question with no answer. Was she using him too much? She was immersed in her thoughts when she heard his voice.

”I love you,” these words felt like music to her ears. Yes, she was in love with him. If she doesn't share her worries and troubles with him then with whom she will share? It's her right to use him. And it's his right to use her. There was nothing to feel bad about.  She got up from his embrace and sat on his lap. She hugged him tightly, burying her face in the crook of his neck inhaling his minty scent. But she can smell another type of odor too.

Cedric was shocked at her actions. That was….. So Sudden. A smile crept on his face when he realized what she was doing. But her closeness was affecting him. And the way she was smelling him, made him go crazy. He wanted to pin her on this bench and have his way with her. But… he knew it was her house, if he took advantage of her here, his father-in-law would chop his balls and would send him to the hospital. Tonight… after the gathering, he will have his way with her.

”What is your scent?” she asked suddenly.

”Cool Water,” he replied.

”Oldest brand but nice fragrance,” she said with a smile.

”You like it?” he asked.

She pulled him closer to holding his tie. She moved her lips from his lips to his ears in a painfully slow way. Cedric gulped at her actions. Oh! God, how he wished he could punish this little vixen. He wanted to punish her for playing with his little brother. Her soft body in his arms made him irresistible.

”I love it. Don't stop using it,” she said before biting his ear lobe. Cedric grunted at her action.
