“Will you try to see me? At least some?” she bargains, making me smile. She bites her lips and there’s mischief in her eyes as she looks up at me. “Please, Daddy?”
I laugh. She’s learning fast. I should punish her for trying to get her way and playing dirty, but I like it too much.
“I will try,” I cave.
“I’ll wait for you,” she promises kissing my chest, and then lets out a large yawn. “I’m sorry,” she mumbles behind her hand as she hides her mouth. “I think you wore me out, well that and the pills always makes me sleepy.”
“Sleep, baby. I’ll hold you.”
“I want that,” she whispers., burrowing in deeper, one hand against my heart and the other on my side, her fingers bunched up in my shirt.
My eyes close. I’ve never had this. Never had someone in my bed, holding onto me like I was their lifeline—like I mattered. The fact that it’s Helena, makes it better. Now that I’ve had a taste of her, I know I won’t rest until she’s mine.
One way or another…
Helena
I wake up slowly. My entire body humming and feeling sated in a way that I’ve never felt. My room is still dark and when I look over at the window, I can see it’s still night. I turn to snuggle up against Marco but find nothing but an empty bed. My hand flattens against his pillow. It’s cold to the touch. He’s gone and has been for a while. Disappointment fills me. I wanted more time with him. I needed it. What if this was just a dream and he never comes back? I sit up in bed, realizing I’m naked with the sheet pulled up over me.
Not a dream.
I sigh. Without turning on the light I slide out of bed and head to my bathroom. I don’t need a light. It’s not like I’m allowed to have clutter anywhere and I’ve got the path that leads from my bed to the bathroom memorized. I get to the bathroom and turn on the light. I wince immediately, my eyes snapping shut, before slowly opening, and adjusting to the brightness. I spend the next few minutes cleaning up and using the restroom. With just what Marco did to me tonight my female bits are definitely tender. Putting a new tampon in even feels different.
I smile as the memories drift over me. Waiting for him is going to be impossibly hard, but it will be worth it. Tonight proved that. I walk to my closet that is on the far wall in my bathroom, walk inside and pull out one of the drawers in the cabinet that is situated in the center. I reach inside and pull on a black t-shirt that falls down to my hips. Once it slides down over me, I hug myself with a goofy smile on my face.
What would Marco say when he finds out I sleep in his old t-shirt every night? He didn’t give it to me. Nope. I had Melina steal it. When she first got it, it smelled just like him. It doesn’t at all now, but I still love it because I know it once covered his body. I shake my hair loose and run a brush through it. Then, I brush my teeth and freshen my deodorant. Feeling happy, but alone, I go back into my bedroom. The light from the bathroom splashes in the room and that’s when I see it. There’s a giant teddy bear sitting in the chair by my bed. It’s the most beautiful caramel colored bear with blue eyes and when I say giant, I mean he is huge. I walk over to him and lift it up. I can barely get my eyes around it. If I were to put it on the floor it would hit my stomach easily.
Huge!
I give it a hug and as I turn to put it back in the chair I freeze. There’s a pink envelope lying on the cushion. I guess Theodore—my new name for him—was hiding the card. I grab it and put Theodore back down. Then sit on the bed cross-legged. I eagerly rip open the envelope, then take out the card to read it.
My beautiful bride-to-be,
Today was your birthday, but you gave me the biggest gift. I decided to give you something to hug at night while we both wait until the time that we can be together. I already miss you so much I ache.
Be my good girl,
M
I read the note over and over. Then, I read it again. I’ll keep this bear forever and then, one day give it to our daughter. I fall asleep holding his note in my hands and my head on Theodore’s stomach and I do it, smiling.
I belong to him now.
