Irresistible Boss Succumbing to Your Touch (Maria Anita) novel Chapter 443

Flavian’s POV

Manu had been away on a trip. It had been two unbearable days, and I needed my little one. I had spent the entire weekend without her, feeling irritated and moody. And the shift at the police station was becoming unbearable.

The day at the police station hadn't been easy, lots of paperwork and little action. I desperately needed my little one and was crazy to get home. To my joy, when I arrived home, she was already there. I ran to her and lifted her off the ground in a tight embrace. Without saying a word, I just held her against me, kissing those sweet lips and holding that body that drove me wild.

I needed a shower, but I needed her too. I walked to the bathroom with her clinging to me while I kissed her, and to my complete happiness, she returned my kiss with the same intensity.

"You have no idea how much I missed you!" I said between kisses, setting her down and tearing off our clothes. She had a beautiful smile on her lips.

"Well, let me tell you something, I was going crazy missing you too," she said in a confessional tone as I carried her with me into the shower. "But I already took a shower."

"So what, my little one? Take another one with me."

I didn't hesitate. I couldn't wait any longer to be inside her. I took her with me into the shower, and as the warm water fell over us, I lifted her and held her against the wall, sinking into her and losing myself in her kisses and moans, killing all the longing that had been trapped in my heart since she left home Saturday morning.

After the shower, I took her to bed and kissed every part of her body, completely losing myself in her. Manu was my world; there was no other place I wanted to be except with her. She calmed me, filled me with joy, and made me want something I had already given up on.

After the longing was erased from our bodies and we were reconnected, we lay embracing in bed and started talking. She told me about her trip and the threats her mother had been making, which actually worried me - that woman seemed crazy and was making my little one unhappy.

She was thoughtful and quiet, as if mulling something over in that beautiful head of hers. Then Manu raised her eyes to me and finally said what was really on her mind.

"Flavian, I want to talk to you about something," she said very seriously.

"Is something wrong?" I asked, already getting worried.

"No. It's just that I've been here in your apartment for months now, and maybe it's time for me to go back to my house," she said, and my heart started racing.

But I had to consider that she was very young, and as much as I disliked the idea, maybe she was insecure and needed more time to understand the intensity of what was between us.

That was exactly it - what we had between us was too intense and too precious, too extraordinary to be treated like a regular relationship. In my heart, I felt as if I had waited for her my entire life. Moreover, ever since Patrick had told me I was in love with Manu, I couldn't stop thinking about it, and the more I thought about it, the more I believed he was right. What I felt for this girl was more than just desire, more than a passion that would fade with time. Maybe I really was in love, and if that was the case, it was the first time in my life because I had never felt anything like this before.

I had someone in the past, and I thought it was love. I always believed Sabrina had been the love of my life, but when she made me choose between her and my career, I didn't hesitate to choose my career. After that, I started believing there would never be anyone else for me, no one who would last forever. I was beginning to question whether I had ever truly loved Sabrina at all.

What I felt for Manu was so different from what I had felt for Sabrina. I wasn't sure what it really was yet, but it was something so peaceful and constant, yet so intense. Unlike what I had with Sabrina, which was more like a convenience since my parents made sure to point out how perfect she was for me. Manu was different in every way, and I was enchanted by everything she was. For her, I would give up everything, even my career if she asked.

The fact was, I didn't want her to distance herself from me. Manu was light-hearted and peaceful, with a keen sense of responsibility that belied her nineteen years. Our life together had fallen into place naturally and harmoniously, as if she belonged in my life, as if we fit perfectly into each other's worlds. And I loved coming home to her every day.

I wanted her to live with me permanently, for however long what we had between us would last. I wanted her here, by my side. I needed her to understand that I wanted her with me, and I wanted her to desire that too. And there I was, asking her to stay, anxiously hoping she would accept.
