Not Your Regular CEO Husband

Chapter 23 After Nightmares



Viola

I had just finished reading the kids a bed time story and tucked them in bed when I heard Elizabeth’s voice in the lobby. I hurried over to greet her but the smile on my face faded when I saw her being escorted by two male nurses as she frowned in pain.

They took her into the room next to mine and all I kept hearing from the room since they wouldn’t let me in, was her occasional sobbing. 

I found Kade in the bar section of his house and he was twirling what I believed to be champagne in a wine glass. I walked up him and sat beside him. I wasn’t sure if he would talk to me but I knew he would listen. 

He always listens to me, even back when we were dating and we had a fight, I would talk to him but he wouldn’t respond. Then the next day he’d address everything I said the previous day and then apologize to me – even if I was in the wrong. 

I was really manipulative back then now that I think about it. I guilt-tripped Kade into apologizing for things he shouldn’t have to just because I knew he was madly in love with me and didn’t want to lose me. 

I really hoped Dani wouldn’t turn out to be like me in the future. That was my biggest desire for her because the way she gets sassier everyday really bothered me. 

“Go to bed, Elizabeth will be fine.”He said after gulping the last bit on wine in his glass and then he sighed.

“I can’t, she’s crying and she’s right next to my room. I can’t bear to hear her in pain.”I said and he looked genuinely touched by my concern. 

“You can sleep in my room…I’ll sleep on the couch.”He said.

“No that’s –”‘

“– trust me, Elizabeth’s cries can be very creepy.”he said with tired eyes before he rubbed them and looked at me. 

“what?”he asked, I shook my head and got up from the seat.

“Nothing, I just hope you’re okay.”I said then I went to my room to have a bath. I contemplated sleeping in my room but Elizabeth’s cries were startling me. 

Wasn’t she pregnant? What on Earth was making her cry so much? Did she lose the baby? I scolded myself for having that thought. 

What I knew for sure was that I would not be able to sleep in my room tonight. I sprayed more deodorant on my body after my bath than usual since I was going to sleep in kade’s room. 

When I entered, I sighed at how orderly his room was. It was barely ever disorganized and I found it surprising because he never allowed Victoria or Valora arrange his room for him. 

I made sure I didn’t fall anything out of place as I took my teddy bear which I prefer as a pillow and lay on his bed. His sheets really carried his scent honestly, I wondered what it would be like if there were no conditions stopping him and I from consummating our marriage. 

Even if he didn’t care, I knew I would’ve thrown myself at him not once but twice! I sighed as the realization hit me that I actually still have feelings for Kade. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be thinking about him the way I was right now. 

I pictured him never giving me a cold glare, instead I imagined him staring at me the way he used to when we were younger. I remembered how his lips felt when we kissed on our wedding day and I got goosebumps just thinking about when I had clanged unto him when Zeus was chasing me around. His chest was firm and I was so hard in my nipples after that contact.

I sighed in embarrassment remembering how I touched myself in my room after he said we wouldn’t be having sex. Was I a whore or was I slutty for imagining sex with him that night? In fact, was it really possible for me to hate Klyde’s body but not kade’s? Because I swear I hated anything that has to do with Klyde but I found Kade irresistible.

I groaned in frustration as I tussled in his sheets. I took in a deep breath and decided to clear my mind so that I would sleep. Tomorrow might be much more hectic than today so I would need rest.

I was having the most peaceful dream ever. Kade and I were happily married and in love and I was pregnant again. The triplets were excited and so was the whole of London. They even threw a lavish party for before I gave birth. 

I gave birth and was about to see my baby’s face when someone grabbed the baby from me. It was Emelia, laughing villainously as she took the child from me. I kept yelling as I chased after her, “My baby! No not my baby!”

Someone started to shake me vigorously and I hit the person, yelling,”give me back my baby Emelia!!” 

“Viola it’s me!”I heard kade’s voice say and when I opened my eyes, tears trickled down my cheeks as I looked around. I was in kade’s room, I was having a nightmare. 

“Are you okay?”Kade said stroking my hair and I froze. Why was he naked?! 

“Why are you naked?”I asked, looking at him with wide eyes. He was covered from his loin downwards but I knew he was naked still.

“You know I sleep naked.”He said innocently and I stared at him.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“You were supposed to be sleeping on the couch remember?”I asked but he sighed and the lines on his forehead became three folds as he said, “yeah I was but then Elizabeth’s nurse saw me heading into another room and went – you must be so wasted, your wife is in the other room bro! What was I supposed to do? I pretended I was drunk and slept beside you.” 

“Whatever, but you actually stripping and laying next to me is so weird.”I said, wiping the tear from my eyes but he knew exactly what I was doing.

“Why were you screaming in your sleep?”he asked. I got genuinely annoyed at him for asking me that. I mean wasn’t it obvious that I was having a nightmare.? 

“What do you think?!”I said as I tossed the sheet away from myself and got out of the bed to face him but I got the shock of my life instead when I saw that I had actually tossed the sheet aside a little too much, revealing his abdomen and a little of his manhood.

What shocked me more was how unbothered he was that I almost saw all of him. He didn’t even adjust the sheets at all, he placed his hands behind his head and stared at me.

I don’t know if the seductive look he was giving me was a figment of my imagination but I swear he was looking at me like he wanted me. 

I looked away from him and heard him chuckle. “cover up for goodness sake Kade!”I scolded but he scoffed in response, “you’re the one who removed the sheets. Besides it’s not so bad, I need a little breeze in here.”He said and I felt my nipples harden as his voice got husky towards the end of his statement. 

Oh my goodness… what is Kade doing to me? What was his problem? One second he acts like he is willing to do anything so we don’t slip up and actually have sex – he even gives me death glares! Then the next minute he’s sending the wrong signals. 

“That’s your business.”I said and started to leave. 

“Viola,”he said. I felt shivers down my skin as he called my name.

“What?”I asked, turning around to face him. He got out of the sheets and my jaws dropped as I saw how big he was. What is his problem? Is he trying to get me killed? 

I looked away from his body and looked up so I would meet his eyes but even his eyes were tempting. He pulled me close to him and held my face in his hands as we stared at each other. 

“The condition says no sex, it doesn’t mean I can’t do this.”He said and I gasped when he crashed his lips against mine. I moaned unexpectedly and parted my lips a little more , he took the chance sliding his tongue in my mouth as he pulled me closer to his rock hard crotch. I was losing my mind as he kissed me deeper. It had been so long since I actually enjoyed being kissed like this. “Fuck it,”I cursed and wrapped my hands around his neck kissing him back.

He tasted of alcohol but it was good. I gasped when he started to kiss my neck and then shuddered because he licked my ears a little before he smirked and walked away. I watched him walk back to the bed totally naked and then he fell to the bed face first and started breathing deeply.

“What on Earth just happened?”I asked myself as I watched him sleep so deeply like he wasn’t the one who just woke me up from my sleep barely few minutes ago. 

This guy was drunk the entire time? I said to myself as I ran my hands through my hair. I found myself unconsciously touching my lips as I recalled how he’d kissed me passionately.

He wouldn’t remember any of it when he wakes up – I reassured myself because I honestly had no idea how I would handle it if he does  remember. 

I would literally die of embarrassment.
