Although Dereck didn’t speak about it, she knew he was still in the running for the job in upstate New York. If he was chosen, Alina knew she couldn’t stop him from going. But what would happen to them if he did? What would happen to the little family they were building?

Alina stroked Dereck’s cheeks, and his eyes flew open. “Can’t sleep?”

She nodded her head, then said, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you. You just looked so cute while sleeping. I couldn’t help myself.”

“You, my dear…” Dereck kissed her on the cheek. “Can wake me up anytime.” He kissed her again, but this time on the lips. Alina closed her eyes briefly, savoring the moment. “Turn around,” he said, and when Alina did, he proceeded to massage her shoulders.

Alina settled into the bed, enjoying the feel of Dereck’s hand on her body. “If it’s sleep you’re trying to induce, I’m afraid you’re causing a different reaction.”

“Oh, yeah?” Dereck trailed kisses along her neck now. “What I’m I doing then.”

“You sir,” Dereck trailed her waist with his hand until his hand pushed aside the nightgown and settled at her center. “Are being very mischievous.”

“In what way?” Dereck still portrayed innocence even as his hand slipped across to her inner thighs, brushing hers away. “What I’m I doing to you Alina,” he whispered in a seductive tone.

When his fingers slid inside her, Alina closed her eyes and pushed back her head.

“You’re making me so wet,” she managed in between breaths. “You’re getting me so horny,” she continued as his fingers moved in and out of her smoothly.

“I am?” Dereck jerked his head back and pushed out his lip. “Do you want me to stop?” He asked, knowing the answer to his question before Alina even responded.

“No,” she moaned, as her fingers clamped onto his shoulder. “I want you inside me.”

“Anything you want,” Dereck said, placing a soft kiss on her lips before freeing himself of his clothes. Then he hovered over her, brushing loose hair aside before he slowly pushed inside her.

Alina gripped the sheet with one hand and Dereck’s ass with the other, pushing him even further into her. Then he began to thrust, and she lost all thoughts. With one simple movement, Dereck managed to push away all her concerns, freeing her from her worries.

“You feel so good,” Dereck muttered as the warmth of his woman intensified the sensation in his loins.

Alina didn’t seem to hear him. Her eyes were closed, and she gripped the sheet so tight her knuckles were turning white. Her breathing escalated and a few seconds later, she was moaning and convulsing around him.

When she opened her eyes, she was greeted by Dereck’s smiling face, a proud expression displayed across it. He pushed into her two more times, then erupted himself with a deep grunt.

Dereck was in the kitchen early the next morning, preparing breakfast. It was no simple task. He needed to prove himself to Alina’s parents, so that meant outstanding preparations and mouth-watering flavors.

He prepared pancakes with homemade blueberry syrup. In addition to this, Dereck prepared scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, and a fruit bowl comprising orange slices, grapes, blueberries, and strawberries. For drinks, he laid out a mug of coffee, orange juice, and apple juice. Everything was displayed at the center of the dining room table, dispersing a warming aroma throughout the apartment.

“What has gotten into you, brother?” Dina walked into the room dressed for the day.

Dereck looked up at his sister. “Hungry? I prepared enough for everyone.”

Dina pouted her red lips and wiggled her nose. “Nope. I don’t think so. But have fun with the family.” She turned away immediately, bag in hand, but Dereck stopped her.

“Dina,” he said, his voice a tone pleading with her rationality. “Like it or not, these people are going to be in my life from now on. And I would appreciate it if you would give them a chance.”

“You’re the one that needs a chance from them, not me.” His sister’s rebuttal was cold, but she was still there, and that said a lot.

“We’ve always been close. And I don’t want to lose that.” Dereck’s eyes were fixed and unwavering. “It would mean a lot to me if you can make more of an effort.” Then he took a step closer to his sister. “So please, stay for breakfast.”

Dina said nothing for a while and her brother remained in place as she contemplated his words. Then she dropped her bag on the entryway table and walked back into the apartment to the dining table. Just like always, Dina never wanted to show any sign of softening in her heart. Because her parents were so dismissive of her, she developed a hardened demeanor, but every so often her brother would crack the surface. When that happened, she never admitted to it. And now was no exception. “I’m only staying because your spread looks amazing and I’m kind of hungry.”

Dina was never going to admit she was doing it for her brother, but Dereck knew better. He simply smiled at his sister and handed her a plate.

At that time Alina’s parents walked into the room. “Wow. This is some breakfast,” Laura said as she walked across to the table, examining the dishes. “This must have taken a long time.”

Her husband said nothing but nodded his head when Dereck handed them each a plate. They went to the table and poured themselves a cup of coffee. Dereck was so relieved that he splurged on his coffee from Columbia. As he watched Alina’s parents take the first sip, their eyes widening from the Supremo coffee.
