Hot Coffee (The Hollens)

Chapter 52 (Sweet And Sour)

Emma's POV

I woke up to the chipping sound of birds and a blinding ray of sunlight on my eyelids. I rolled out of bed

and headed to the bathroom where I freshened up and dressed in something more comfortable. I was

dreadfully hungry and Ethan was nowhere in sight.

He must have gotten up earlier and went to the morgue.

I took my purse and headed to the restaurant for a bite, Anton and Brad following close behind. They

were dressed in strictly black and wore black stylish eye glasses. They, basically, resembled the main

characters in the movie Men in Black.

As we walked, we got attention from many on-lookers. Some taking pictures while others were pointing,

and others saying hello to us. I couldn't engage in conversation with anyone; they spoke Italian and I

just couldn't understand.

Nevertheless, I ate peacefully— fish sticks and pancakes. Ethan had told me I should start eating

healthier so I added a side of mixed vegetables.

After two hours, he came back with Luis.

"It is her," he said, and sat down looking very flushed, exhausted and pale.

I almost didn't recognize him. The news about his mother's death had taken a total on him. She was

mean but she was his mother. I hated her for what she did to me without even trying to get to know me.

I loved her son and wouldn't do anything to hurt him, but she lashed out on me with Sharon's help. She

had dragged me out of the mansion by my hair, stuck me in the back of a pickup truck, and instructed

the driver to leave me for dead at a swamp in another state. How do you forgive someone for that?

I don't really know what it took, but I did forgive her. I wished she was more kind and understanding

towards me. I wanted her to be apart of the twins' lives, to teach them things that Ethan and I couldn't,

take them to different places all over the world, and spoil them—what grandmothers do. I really wanted

that. And if she were alive I would have dropped all the charges against her and accepted her into my

life and the lives of my children because I believed in second chances. I believed people could make a

change for the better, and I believed there's a piece of good in everyone. Even the devil was once an

angel, right?

"I'm so sorry," I told him as I rubbed his back to comfort and support him.

"I can't stay here any longer. I'll call Hexx. Emma, get ready. Guys, get ready."

He headed inside to the hotel room and I followed suit, running a bit to keep up with him.

I packed without hesitation and sat on the bed, waiting to leave.

"Baby, I am sorry if I was harsh to you, and for hurrying us out of here. I can't stand being here knowing

this is Sharon's country and she killed my mother here. I can't take this."

"I understand."

"Emma, I know you might be scared but I need you to be strong for the babies. Sharon can't come

between us and, I promise you, once this mess is sorted out and she's behind bars where she belongs,

I'm taking you and our babies on a sunny vacation."

A big smile crawled onto my lips and he gave me a sweet, slow passionate kiss. He tasted delicious as

ever and I had a passion for him almost immediately from that kiss. I hung onto his neck and pulled him

down onto me.

"Baby, we can't right now. We have to leave in a bit."

"But I want you now."

"Hmm."

He kissed me and ran his hand down to the hem of my dress, lifting it up, and made his way to my joy

spot. His lips left my mouth and he moved lower and lower until he was at home. He pleasured me with

his tongue.

"Okay, time to go," he said after five sweet minutes; the best five minutes I had ever had.

He took my carry-on bag and his backpack; then he took my hand, leading me through the door.

The jet had already been fueled up and awaiting our arrival.

I sat down next to Ethan with the body guards around us. We took off and split through the skies.

_______________

Luis drove the van back to the mansion. I felt sick as Ethan was beside me, comforting me.

When we arrived I headed straight for the bathroom.

The twins must hate flying.

I vomited everything I ate in Italy.

I let out a groan and fell onto the bed. Ethan was on the patio making and taking phone calls.

I felt for him, but I really wanted him all over me right now. I couldn't understand what was happening. I

knew there were times where I was turned on for him, but this feeling I was having was a whole other

level of craving.

I got up and literally pulled him inside and onto me, and ran kisses on his mouth as if I was going crazy.

Even he was surprised.

"Baby, it's your hormones," he said after an hour of nonstop love making.

I felt better after I climaxed five times.

"I'm craving chocolate ice cream," I told him.

"I don't think there's any downstairs in the fridge."

"Well send someone out to get me some. I want chocolate ice cream."

"Okay, okay. I'll make Luis get it for you."

"No, I want you to get it for me."

He heaved a sigh from exhaustion and it made me chuckle. He cleaned himself up, got dressed, took

his keys and left.

Thirty minutes later he was back with four large tubs of chocolate mint, mixed chocolate, chocolate,

and cookies-and-cream ice cream. He placed one tub on my lap with a spoon and put the others in the

freezer.

I devoured the sweet deliciousness of the ice cream.

"Feeling better now?" he asked.

"Yes. Thanks, baby."

"Anything for you and my kids," he said smiling as he rubbed my tummy.

"Emma, I felt a kick," he gasped.

I laughed. He was becoming obsessed with the twins. "I think it's just gas or something, babe. It's too

soon for them to be kicking. So, have you told Nana the news yet?"

"Yes. She's heartbroken so I've invited her here to stay for a bit. I don't want her being alone in a time

like this."

"I understand. How about your dad?"

"Still can't get him. I left him a message so he'll call me back. I didn't know how exactly to tell him."

"Are you taking a leave from work?"

"Um, yeah but just for a few days. After I arrange the burial, I'm going back."

"Okay."

"Why the sad face?"

"I miss you. It gets boring here after awhile. Nothing to do, nowhere to go."

"Well, how about you come into work with me? You can become my All Purpose Assistant."

"All what?"

"Ha ha, it's a position I invented. Basically someone to accompany me to meetings, go to sites and

events, and take recordings. How about you be my little cute, sexy all purpose assistant? We could

even get freaky from time to time. I'll pleasure you with my nine inches of d—"

"Okay, that's enough. I've heard enough. But I accept."

"Great. That way I can keep an eye on you and be there whenever you need me. It won't be difficult."

"How about two?"

"Two all purpose assistants?"

"No."

I pulled him on the bed and lay on top of him, removing my shirt and showing all my nakedness. He

began sucking on my nipples immediately, putting me into extreme heat. He pulled his penis out of his Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

pants and stuck in into me; I began to bounce up and down like a ball.

"Oh, baby... I love this... so much," he said between breaths.

"Uh uh. I love it when I feel you like that."

"Don't stop."

"I don't wanna stop!"

I rode him like a porn star. We climaxed together.

I laid back on the bed. "Babe, I'm craving chocolate ice cream again."

"Emma, I believe you're pregnant with a boy and a girl. That's why you have to eat pancakes with

strawberries and syrup because that's what the girl likes, and you're eating fishy food with garlic

because that's what the boy likes, but they compromise for ice cream."

"That's a theory."

"Oh, really? We'll see when we visit the doctor. I've already booked the next appointment."

"No. I want to wait until the birth."

"Ugh. Don't do this to me."

"Ha! I'm so doing it to you."
