LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT - SEASON 2 CHAPTER 98
Lyra and Torin finally arrived at their hotel. The moment the hotel attendant left their room, Torin immediately picked Lyra up and carried her bridal style to the bed.
“Aren’t we going to shower first? What about some rest? Or dinner? I mean…” Lyra muttered, but her words were cut off by Torin’s fervent kiss.
“Hmm, no point of showering now, we’ll do that together later. Rest? I let you sleep during our flight. And dinner? This is my dinner. I’m not hungry for anything else but you…” Torin whispered seductively as he began to shower Lyra’s face with kisses. Her forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, cheeks, lips… Down to her chin, jawline, and neck…
Lyra started to shiver beneath him. Torin was right, he had waited for this for way too long already, and she was more than willing to give him her all… After all, they were husband and wife already…
She felt Torin gently sucking on her neck, and desire started to consume her. Tingling sensations ran all over her body.
Torin felt his heart would burst at any moment because he was too excited to consummate their marriage. Others might think he was a pervert, but it was true that he had often imagined what he would do to Lyra once they were married, and he was not ashamed of it. And now that they were married, he no longer had to just dream about it. He would turn his dreams into reality.
Lyra giggled when she felt a ticklish sensation as Torin’s tongue, mouth and teeth continued to bite, suck and lick her neck and ear. Then she noticed him struggle to unbutton her dress. She gently pushed him away and got out of bed.
“I like this dress, so I won’t let you damage it,” Lyra murmured as she naturally stripped in front of Torin, who couldn’t keep his eyes off of her, afraid that he would miss a thing. This was a scene he had often encountered in his dreams.
The dress fell, and Lyra put it neatly on the couch. She was walking around the room only in her bra and P@?tî??. She suddenly felt shy when she realized Torin’s gaze was focusing on her.
Torin got out of bed too and quickly undressed himself, with his eyes still fixed on Lyra, whose cheeks were now crimson red.
Torin gave her a wink and said, “Just making it fair,” before he removed all the remaining clothes from his body.
Lyra unconsciously bit her lip, and her eyes rounded at the sight of Torin’s huge and hard manhood. It was the first time she had seen anything like it. Torin sat on the edge of the bed and said huskily, “Come here…”
His eyes were clouded with desire as he saw his wife obey and walked toward him.

It was Drey’s last day to spend with Cielo before he would be sent to another country for a mission tomorrow. So he prepared this whole day date for her alone.
“Where are we going?” Cielo asked. They were already driving to their destination when the sun was not even up yet.
Drey only smiled at her and grabbed her hand to kiss it.
His simple gestures made Cielo’s heart flutter… Ever since his love confession in their honeymoon, Drey had been more vocal about his feelings for her. Furthermore, he had become more shameless when it came to lovemaking.
Cielo giggled unconsciously, and Drey asked, “What is it?”
Cielo smiled and winked at him and said, “Nothing… I just thought about how shameless you’ve been lately.”
Drey’s face reddened, and Cielo laughed. She loved her husband’s timidness whenever she would tease him like that.
Drey brought her to a beautiful hill just on the outskirts of the city. He set-up the blanket and the basket that Cielo did not know they had inside the car. “This is our favorite spot when we were kids. Me and the girls would often wait for the sunrise here as we have our breakfast during weekends,” Drey explained as he led Cielo to sit.
He opened the basket that contained the sandwiches that he had prepared for them. “Come here…” He said as he pulled Cielo into his arms and put her head on his shoulder.
“The sun will come up soon…” Drey murmured. Just a few moments later, the sun showed up its face, coloring the sky with a reddish glow.
“You are like the sun rising in my life… You’re the light and the energy that I need to face everything ahead of me. I never thought that I’ll be healed this fast from a broken heart. Thank you, Cielo, for barging into my life and teaching me how sweet it is to love the second time around…” Drey said, his voice full of compassion, while he held Cielo tightly in his arm.
He heard no response, so Drey turned to look at Cielo, only to see her crying while pursing her lips so she would not make a sound.
Drey gently wiped those tears with the back of his hand and smiled as he said, “I brought you here to enjoy the sunrise, not to make you cry, my wife.”
“I can’t help it. I’m just feeling so blissful…These are tears of joy… I never thought that I would love someone as much as I love you. Make sure you come back safe and sound from that mission!” Cielo snorted as she tried to stop herself from crying.
And because she was ecstatic that morning, she ended up giving her husband a reward inside the car before they left the place…
“Where are we going next?” Cielo asked excitedly as soon as Drey started the engine of the car. “Do you still want to continue our date? Maybe we should just go home and lock ourselves up inside our room,” Drey jested as he drove away from the roadside.
Cielo complained, “I thought you have prepared well for this?”
Drey chuckled and held her hand. “Yes, I did, Ma’am…”
The next destination was a theme park because Cielo had previously mentioned that she had never been to one since she was a child.
“Wow! I feel like I’m back in my teenage years!” Cielo squealed excitedly as she took a lot of selfies with Drey. Her favorite part was the haunted house. At one point, she got so scared that she jumped on Drey, with her legs wrapped around his waist and her arms encircling his neck.
“Ahhhh!” Cielo would scream and buried her face in Drey’s neck whenever she got scared.
Drey could not help but laugh. Others would steal glances at them because they looked so funny and yet affectionate at the same time. Drey did not mind the attention of those people, nor did he mind carrying his wife around throughout the haunted house.
“Let’s go home after this,” Drey murmured hoarsely.
“But why? We haven’t try all the rides yet,” Cielo complained. She opened her eyes to look at him, but only slightly because she did not want to see some scary stuff.
Drey sighed… It was because he had been carrying her around like that, and he got aroused as he felt Cielo’s body keep rubbing against his. He just wanted to go home and lock her up instead.
Then a sudden idea came to his mind. He would have to change his plan…
Cielo was still full of energy even after she tried all the rides in the theme park. “No wonder she became a Lieutenant so early,” Drey murmured, scratching his head.
‘Oh, no!’ His eyes widened when Cielo pulled him to join her on the last ride, which was also the scariest one of all. It was a roller coaster ride, where you would be spun abruptly upside down.
“No, no, no, no… Let’s not try that one, please…” Drey pled as he quickly pulled Cielo out of the theme park.
Cielo laughed and yielded. They left the theme park.
“So, where are we going next? Lunch?” Cielo asked as Drey drove the car away from the parking lot of the theme park. He only answered her with a nod and a playful smile.
Drey brought her into one of the best hotels for lunch, where the two enjoyed a good meal and a great chat.
As they exited the restaurant, Drey held her hand and pulled her with him toward the hotel lobby to get a room key card.
“You booked a room?” Cielo asked, surprised.
Drey nodded and said, “Yeah, I did when we were at the theme park. I made a quick reservation when you went to the restroom.”
“Huh?”
Drey grinned and led her to the elevator as he went on, “I heard the jacuzzi inside the room is excellent and relaxing. After those rides, I’m sure you’ll love it…”
Cielo shook her head as she could feel what her husband was planning to do. It was his shamelessness charging once more. She smiled and bit her lower lip.
But she did not mind. She would gladly oblige Drey’s shamelessness…

“Hmm… You seem to be getting along well with Grandma. You’ve been spending a lot of time with her recently. Sometimes, even more than what you spend with me,” murmured Keira as soon as Zach entered their room.
Zach had indeed been spending a lot of time with his grandmother lately. He would go to his grandmother’s room as soon as he came home from work. Keira was not jealous or anything, but she was worried.
She noticed that Old Madam Liu seemed to prefer Zach and her over Jeru and Thea. A week or two would be understandable, but prolonging it would be unfair.
She was sitting on their bed, reading a book, when Zach entered their room. He walked toward her with a segzy smile.
“Why? Do you miss me?” He asked as he sat beside Keira and nuzzled up against her.
“What are you reading?” Zach asked as he rested his chin on Keira’s shoulder.
“This? It’s Gavin’s first book. It’s based on Yao Yuren and Wei Xianyi’s love story. It’s good…” Keira answered. She rarely read fiction. When she read, it always had something to do with news items. But she would like to support Gavin’s first novel. Hence she made time to read his book.
Keira closed the book and turned to face Zach. “You really need to talk to Grandma.”
Zach knew what Keira was referring to. He had also noticed how Old Madam Liu seemed to pay more attention to him and Keira.
“Yes, I understand. I will talk to her about it tomorrow.”
“Right now, Jeru must have not noticed it yet, since he is busy at work. But let’s not wait for him to notice it… I heard he really had a tough time growing up because of the constant need to prove himself to Grandma. Besides, he does not know the truth about him and Grandma. Uncle Thom intends to keep it a secret…” said Keira.
Zach nodded in understanding.
Then Keira added, “Also, don’t forget to tell her that she must treat Thea the same as she treats me. Or she must treat me the same as she treats Thea. Make sure you emphasize that, General!”
“Roger, my star!” Zach answered as he pulled Keira down, so she would lie with her back entirely on the bed. He hugged her tightly like a bolster pillow.
“Wait, I don’t want to sleep yet. The book I’m reading is good… Let me finish at least one more chapter,” Keira said, giggling.
Zach then sighed and told her, “The reason why I have been spending a lot of time with Grandma is because I will need to train at the company for a week. She has been telling me the in and out of the company… I’m a bit worried.”
Keira turned to lie on her side and looked at him in disbelief. “About what? I thought you wanted to try managing a business? Besides, isn’t managing a company more or less the same as commanding the army? Remember the Art of War, General! It’s basically the same.”
Zach nodded and said, “Yeah, I know, but I’m worried about the necktie thing… I don’t like wearing it…”
Keira burst out laughing and tried to console him. “Don’t say that! It’s just a matter of getting used to. Am I the only one getting excited about the necktie thing? I have even been practicing because I’ve been anticipating to put a necktie on you. I was planning to pull you closer by the necktie, and give you a breathtaking kiss before sending you off to work…”
Zach gave her a segzy smirk as he whispered, “You’ve been practicing? How about you show me the breathtaking kiss part now before we go to sleep…?”
Keira pouted her lips and protested as she made little circles with her index finger on Zach’s chest, “But we will end up doing more than just a kiss…”
But then a mischievous smile formed on her face as she swiftly moved to sit on top of Zach and said, “Not that I mind, though.”
But Zach teased her by cringing and exaggeratedly crying out, “Ouch…”
Keira looked at her husband in disbelief, with her mouth slightly agape, as he continued to act as if she was too heavy for him. She then humphed and said, “Forget it! I change my mind! I’ll just continue reading Gavin’s novel…”
She moved to get off Zach’s lap, but the latter quickly sat straight and held her firmly. Then he whispered in her ear, “Why? But I like it that you have an extra weight like this… Let me see how much you’ve gained. I can tell after you move on top of me…”
Keira did not know whether she should choke her husband, who was obviously having great fun in teasing her. But then he started to kiss her earlobe and played with it, down to her neck. And she forgot everything else…
Instead, a small Mõ@? escaped her lips when Zach started to shower her neck with his gentle and sultry kisses.
“You have to lead and control the movement because I’m afraid I’ll go wild on you…” Zach murmured while he undressed Keira and himself.

The next day, Zach arrived at the Liu Mansion earlier than usual, and the first thing he did was look for his grandmother. Keira was right. He should talk to his grandmother about her preferential treatment toward him before it led to anything that could jeopardize the family.
He saw his grandmother in the hallway, and she smiled at him.
“You’re back early today?” She asked, and Zach nodded.
“Grandma, I want to talk to you about something important,” Zach said.
Old Madam Liu nodded as she gestured for him to follow her outside.
“Walk with me in the garden. The weather is nice outside,” said Old Madam Liu as she grabbed Zach’s arm as they walked together to the garden.
“Tell me, Grandson… What is it that you want to talk to me about?” Asked Old Madam Liu as she sat on a garden bench while Zach sat next to her.
Zach told her about his and Keira’s thoughts on her partiality to him and Keira. He requested her to treat him and Jeru the same, and the same went for Keira and Thea.
Old Madam Liu drew out a sigh… She understood what Zach was asking. However, how could she treat them the same? She loved Jeru, but Zach was her own blood. He was Charles’ son…
About Keira and Thea, her eyebrows raised. Between the two, Thea was always sweet to her and would oblige to all of her requests. Whereas Keira… Old Madam Liu sighed. This granddaughter-in-law of her was an absolute pain in the neck. Keira was really a challenge to deal with because she was always so sassy and bold, and would only do what she wanted to do.
Then a smirk formed on Old Madam Liu’s face…
“Alright, as Keira requested, I will give her the same treatment as I gave Thea. But are you sure about this, Grandson?” She asked, and Zach nodded.
“Please also do the same for Jeru and me. It’s not his fault that he is not your blood, Grandma. I believe you know very well how much of a grandson he is to you. Even though you and I are blood-related, but Jeru was the one who grew up with you. I will do wh@??ver you want, but please make sure you treat me and Jeru fairly… We are both your grandchildren…” Zach insisted. Old Madam Liu could only sigh and nod.
She had totally put down her guard after Zach’s arrival. It was like seeing Charles alive again. Her precious son, Charles… She could not help but let her tears fall from her eyes.
She knew it was her fault that Charles died. If she had not instructed her men to chase him and get him back, that accident would have never happened.
Old Madam Liu quickly wiped her tears because she didn’t want Zach to feel burdened by her crying. She smiled and said, “You really remind me of your father.”
“You probably miss him a lot…” Zach commented as he held his grandmother’s hand.
Old Madam Liu gently squeezed Zach’s hand.
Thea, who was watching from the balcony in their room, drew out a deep sigh of relief. Finally, she was accepted as Jeru’s wife.
Last night Old Madam Liu had promised her that she would not try to separate her from Jeru. But their marriage must be kept secret, at least for now, until all evidence of Thea’s involvement with the underworld was thoroughly eradicated.
She was startled when she felt a pair of arms encircling her waist from the back. Her lips curled up as she smelled Jeru’s familiar scent and felt his face buried on her neck.
“You’re home early…” Thea noted because Jeru often came home late, and mostly when she was already sleeping.
“Yeah… It’s because I miss you and our baby so much…” Jeru murmured as he touched Thea’s baby bump. He then gave her a gentle kiss on her cheek.
“They are getting along well. That’s good,” Jeru suddenly commented as he glanced at the direction Thea was looking at.
Thea turned around and smiled at Jeru. She touched and caressed his cheek lovingly as she cupped his face. She looked at him intently, making sure their eyes were connected. Then she said in a clear and genuine voice, “I love you.”
Jeru’s mouth opened as he was rendered speechless. He was totally caught off guard by those words.
Thea got worried by his lack of response, so she repeated, dropping each word with clarity, “Jeru Liu, I LOVE YOU!”
Jeru blinked his eyes several times, but he still did not speak. Thea bit her lower lip as her body tensed, but she never left Jeru’s eyes.
‘Wait, is that a tear?’ She pondered as she observed Jeru’s eyes which were now reddening. Then tears started to flow.
“Ohhh… You are crying,” Thea muttered, and she hoped it was a good sign.
Jeru finally regained his calm and smiled at her.
He held Thea’s hands that were still cupping his face and pulled her closer for a deep and passionate kiss.
He cried because it was the first time someone said they loved him. And it was Thea, his wife. For the first time in his life, he had confirmed that someone loved him.
However, he did not know how to respond to those words appropriately.
He broke the kiss and looked at Thea with misty eyes. He called her name to say something but paused because he didn’t know the right words to say. “Thea…:”
“Shhh… It’s okay… You don’t need to say anything. I truly understand… I understand your feelings well… So, take your time, okay? The way our relationship is going right now is enough for me. I just want you to know that I have come to love you, and I’m sincere. Our baby and I are your family now. No matter what happens, you have us, and we both love you very much. Always remember that…” Thea declared.
She knew her confession was too sudden for Jeru. For he was the type of man who could not express his feelings well. But she really understood him and being with him like this was enough for her. Although, of course, she would love to hear the same words from him in the future.
She smiled as she encircled her arms on Jeru’s neck and proceeded to seal his lips with hers.
She would work really hard to make her marriage successful. She would have a complete family. The family she never had, and that was her main goal in life.
