LOVE CRADLE

I love you

"Actually last night I didn't want to make love to you, I knew it just added to the burden of my lies."

Sisca's face changed.

"You don't need to remind me that I brought you Richard" he said arrogantly.

"But..."

"Geez please let me talk first, I don't want to fuck you because I know it's not the right thing to do."

"It's not that you don't know who I really am, but because I can't stop myself..."

"I've been craving you for too long, denying my needs".

Richard reached out his hand, without making a sound Sisca let herself in the embrace.

Richard traced Sisca's lips with his thumb, stroking her gently.

"Is it because you hate me?", asked Richard gently to tear down Sisca's defenses.

"I love you Sisca".

"I don't mean. I really don't want to but I do, and although you may think I'm arrogant, I think you love me too".

"It's impossible for a woman to make love like she did last night, without feeling love at all."

"I really meant to tell you the truth and propose to you to be my wife not because of Michael ".

"The first time I walked into this house, all I thought about was how happy it was to have a child without a mother".

"I admit that Michael meant nothing to me at the time, but you changed everything".

"I love Michael, that's undeniable, but that's not why I'm asking you to be my wife".

"I'm a career woman", protested Sisca hoarsely.

"I can't be a good wife, Richard ".

"I'm not the kind of wife a successful man like you needs to take care of the house and raise the kids".

"Wrong", Richard insisted.

"And marrying me doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your career Sisca, instead I don't want you to sacrifice it."

"Maybe it's not easy but who knows.by working hard.and especially with affection.we can do it ".

"Can it?" Sisca exhaled unable to stand against Richard any longer.

"Let me prove it".

Sisca's body trembled violently, as Richard's lips touched hers.

He could not let go of the happiness of hugging the man, touching him, letting the man's mouth convince all that he had said.

Career.suami.family.it feels too beautiful to be true.

As if knowing Sisca's thoughts..Richard let go of his embrace, and said in a hoarse tone.

"I can't promise you'll have it all like the stories in the books, there's nothing like it ".

"That thought is wrong! the deal has to be made, and I think it's a deal we deserve anyway as long as we can be together."

"I want you to be Sisca's wife, I want that more than anything in my life."

"We do that with you and me, I know you need and want your career and I won't stand in your way."

"Marry me and I'll prove my words".

Sisca looked at him, Richard added in a raucous voice.

"I won't beg you to believe me, Sisca."

"No need" Sisca said in a soft tone.

The strong man Richard is strong enough to let Sisca be himself, accepting the fact that he cannot live in the shadows of others.

As Richard said, it may not be easy, but they will find a way to make it happen.

After all they are united by the strongest bond, the love of both of them.
