Immediately after we arrived to the château, I took out Patch's suit and my gown from the suitcases. I took Patch's hands and rushed into the house.

The a-line velvet dress slid against my curves, framing my torso with its bodice. The skirt cascaded below my hip, creating a pool of velvet silk at my feet. The bodice complimented my rack and my newly reduced waist size. After Vee invited Patch and I 9 months ago, I started to work out more, sometimes I would work out with Patch. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Patch and I gave time to working out for 2 hours.

I entered into the bathroom to glance at the beautiful creation of Versace. The back of my dress dipped down, but enough to leave commentators to their imagination. Teasing my hair to frame my face and guiding the rest to tumble down my back. Heat captured me within its arms drawing me closer to its source.

"You look beautiful." I turned around to face Patch. I took a step back to observe his tidiness.

Patch wore an Armani suit, all black of course. Underneath his jacket, he wore a deep red dress shirt finishing the outfit with an unfinished black tie. I lifted my hands to his tie and began tying his tie. "You don't look so bad yourself, but I think you need to learn how to tie your own tie."

Patch raised his head to give me more access to tighten his tie. "I like it when you do it. And it's not like you don't enjoy doing so."

Once I finished, I placed a kiss on his neck. "I do enjoy it."

"Careful Angel, we might not attend the party if you continue your vixen ways." I laughed, exiting the bathroom to enter our closet.

I grabbed the matching red shoes, walking towards the king sized bed. Once I securely placed the shoe on, I stood up facing Patch. He was leaning on the door frame of the bathroom, his eyes turning from a livid black, to a desired, lustful pool of wanting. "Maybe we shouldn't go," Patch said, striding towards me, "I mean, we are really tired, well at least we are going to be if you choose not to go."

I openly smirked at him. "I think we'll be doing more than just sleeping."

"Was I that obvious?" Patch leaned down only to kiss my neck. I pushed him away.

"We have to go, I promised her I would be there. And I'm still sore from just 8 hours ago. I'm sure you can handle one night without me."

"Let's not test that, I might drop dead if that ever happens. I guess we'll never know." Patch started to unzip my dress, but I grabbed his hand before he could go any further.

"How about this? If we get alone time, and we have to be unnoticed, I will let you take me in the bathroom. Deal?"

Patch smiled deviously. "I'll take that deal." Right after he said those words, I pushed him off, grabbing my fur coat before finding the stairwell that led to the roof. "Now that we have reached an agreement, we must immediately start the chopper to get to the party on time." I returned over my shoulder.

I felt a hand on my waist leading me to double doors at the end of the hallway. "I'll get you there 30 minutes ahead of time, if you promise we'll be doing it more than once, whenever I find an opening."

"But I'm sore."

"Fine, then I guess we encountered some problems with the helicopter and missed an hour of the dinner." Patch shrugged, presenting a sad expression but his eyes gleaming evilly.

I groaned. "Fine. We can do it more than once," Patch raised his eyebrows, "When we both agree that we will go unnoticed, and we have to be there before the party even starts."

"Look at that, the chopper seems to be working for some reason." Patch pecked me on the lips, opening the doors to the roof. I furiously wiped his kiss on my arm.

"I hate you."

"Of course you do, Angel."

I followed his shadow to the middle of the roof where a There sat in the middle as a large AS350 Eurocopter Astar. Black, as usual. Patch turned around, beckoning me with his hand. The message was delivered, Come.

I wrapped my fur coat around me before walking towards Patch. The night was dark but the lights in the city shone bright. The small amount of light emanating from the city shadowed Patch' face, creating a mysterious and dangerous air around him.

Once I was in front of him, Patch looked down at me. "Scared, Angel?"

"Never, when I'm with you." Patch lowered his head to down, planting a kiss on my lips. It wasn't one of urgency and lust, it was one of love and care. I licked his bottom lip for access which Patch willingly obliged. The kiss deepened and our hands roamed over each other's figure, begging for more than just a kiss. Patch broke away.

I leaned my head against his, breathing heavily. "We need to stop," Patch said, breaking the silence, "I still want that deal you promised me." I pouted. "I promise you'll get more later, but now, we need to get to Vee's party." I nodded, but we didn't break away from each other. We stayed in each other's arms, inhaling each other's scents before we recovered enough strength to pull away.

Patch lifted me into the chopper, buckling me in tight. When Patch finished, he looked up at me, "Tight?" I nodded. He reached over the console and handed me headset. I took it from his hands, placing it on my head maneuvering my earrings to not poke me. Patch clicked the strap, tightening it to fit my head.

Checking all my gear one last time, Patch moved to the driver's side, buckling himself in. In a matter of moments, the chopper's blades started to spin. Patch's hand enclosed mine, "Ready?" I heard over the headset.

Again, another nod. "Get ready for take off." The chopper began to lift off the ground, before I noticed, the lights of Britain painted the landscape. I watched out the window, entranced by the spectacular view. "I'll fly you to The City of Lights sometime at night."

I tore my eyes away from the view and started back at my love. "Paris?"

"Yeah, last time we were there, I never got to show you the city at night from above. It's beautiful." I smiled.

"I'll be holding on to your word."

"I wouldn't have it any other way."

"LDX this is the Angel Golf - requesting for landing. Over."

"The Angel - you are clear to land."

"Roger tower, Angel set, over an d out."

"You named the chopper after me?" I stared at Patch, amused.

"I bought her last month, why not name her after you?"

"It just sounds awkward to hear."

Patch smiled at me. "You just haven't heard it enough. Ready to meet Gavin?"

"Yeah, except for the part of our deal. We sound like two teenagers wanting to go at it like rabbits."

"We are rabbits and I can't wait to for the deal to begin." Patch turned to me and smiled.

I rolled my eyes at him. I looked out the window, watching as the lights of the city disappeared slowly. Once we've landed, Patch unbuckled himself while I on the other hand tried to unbuckle myself. "Need help?" Patch asked amused beside me with his arms across his chest. "All you need to do is ask."

"Patch you better help or I swear that you will never see me naked ever again." With the threat hanging in the air, Pathc got me out of the helicopter in record time. "You're such a good boy." I patted Patch on the head as he brought my feet to the ground.

"I hate you."

"Of course you do." I countered pleasantly.

I reached up and straightened his suit, his arms around my waist peering down at me. "I do love you."

I smiled up at him. "I love you, too."

Finishing, I looked down at myself to make sure everything was still in place. Patch's hand intruded into my line of vision. He grabbed the top of my dress and lifted it higher. I giggled because Patch couldn't raise my dress any higher. "Patch, it's no going anywhere."

"Yeah, but those orbs are you mine. Only I should have the beautiful sight of them."

"My mom saw them."

Patch glared down at me. "You had to ruin the moment by bringing up your mother, huh?"

I laughed. I turned 180, expecting Vee behind me, but found no one. "Where is she? She told me on the phone that she was going to meet us by the door." I looked around curiously. "Are we late?" I turned to Patch and glared.

Patch looked down at his watch. "30 minutes ahead of schedule. They're the ones that are late." Patch raised his hands up grinning mischievously. I was hoping that I could cancel our agreement. "Guess the deal's going to hold."

I groaned. "I think I'm going to cry." I wasn't kidding when I said I was sore. Patch stretched me last night like I was clay. It hurts to move now.

"I promise to take it easy with you tonight. You've been walking around like you're in pain."

"I am in pain. Did you not see the red marks inside my thighs?"

"Good, because that place only belongs to me." Patch stole my lips in a playful yet threatening kiss. He pushed his tongue inside deepening the kiss. I moaned inside his mouth. I wrapped my arms around his neck, ready to have him right there right now.

Someone clears their throat. Patch and I separated fast, but banged our heads together in the process. I heard a feminine laugh. "Stop sucking each other's face, you guys are here for me, remember?" Patch and I faced the voice while rubbing each other's heads. Vee was sporting a disgusted look while Vee's mother, right next to her was smiling at us happily. The worst part was the person right of Vee's mother, my mother. Oh dear God, I just kiss raped my husband in front of my mother! So embarrassing!

It's not like she's innocent, Angel. I looked at Patch. Still, she's my mother. We just sucked face in front of my mother. Why don't we just have sex right now in front of her?

Patch raised his eyebrow at me. Is that a challenge, Angel? Needless to say, I hit Patch in the head. I walked towards Vee with a smile plastered to my face. Thank God there wasn't much light, I could feel my cheeks heating up. "I'm sorry. We're here, just for you." I hugged Vee and pulled away from her at arms length. "You look amazing."

"Say so for yourself. Babe, are you trying to take away my husband? I swear to God, you look like a minx." I smiled at her, these days I could see eye to eye with her. Only an inch apart. An arm wrapped around my waist. Patch.

"Congratulations, Vee. We're very happy for you. Ms. Sky, it's very nice to finally meet you. Nora's told me much about you." Patch extended his hand to shake. Ms. Sky took hold of Patch's hand, examining Patch from head to toe.

"Vee has told me much about you, except her description was more of an annoying brother." Patch laughed, deep and sexy. A pool of wetness stained my panties.

"I could say the same thing about her. A little sister who can't mind her own business." Patch's eyes pointed towards Vee. Vee, in return stuck her tongue out at him and pouted.

"Whatever. So," a dangerous glint in Vee's eyes sparked my fear, "how was last night? I heard you were quite busy." Vee smiled suggestively to the both of us.

"Indeed, we were." Patch, please do not say anything any more. "We had some unfinished business, I'm sorry I had to cut in short to free you from our fun."

Oh my God, Patch! My mother, Ms. Sky, Vee, and myself blushed crimson. I his my face behind my hands. "Oh, Ms. Grey, it's nice to see you again. Nora and I have missed you. Whenever we come back to Maine, you're somewhere else. I'm sorry we haven't gotten together sooner."

"Jev, it's nice to see you again as well. I agree that we should have seen each other sooner rather than just now. I've missed the both of you company." y mother pointed a look at me which I countered with I'm-sorry smile. In the background, we heard small chuckles.

Vee noticed my curiosity behind her. "Oh, Nora, Patch this is my fiancé, Gavin." A hand extended through the darkness. "It's nice to finally meet the Cipriano's. Vee has told me so much about her beloved Nora and," Gavin looked Patch up and down from his small frame, "Jev."

"Annoying Jev, Gavin." Vee corrected. We all burst out in laughter, even Patch.

"Well, as you can see Vee and I aren't exactly on friendly terms."

"They're more like brother and sister rivals." I interjected. "They can't stop fighting with each other."

"We are not." Vee pouted. Patch kissed my temple lovingly. These are the memories I live for. I wrapped my arms around Patch, laughing.

A throat cleared behind Gavin. All our attention was behind Gavin. Gavin opened his mouth, but someone else interrupted him. "I couldn't believe that the Jev Cipriano would be your so-called 'brother-in-law' as you say, Vee."

Patch took the extended hand that was aimed for him. "I'm sorry, I don't know you."

"My name's Amery Danell, CEO of Danell Industries. I've always wanted to meet the Cipriano Business Typhoon."

""I'm honored." Patch gave a small smile to him. Mr. Danell was a tall man, taller than his son but still shorted than Patch. He took care of physique, since he seemed to be quite muscular underneath his suit. Mr. Danell's hand released Patch's hand and turned to me.

"You must be the . . . wife?"

I took his hand in mine and smiled. "Yes."

"Well, he married beautifully. How long have you two been married?"

"3 years." Patch and I answered simultaneously.

"Really? I thought you two just returned from your honeymoon." We laughed.

"No, these two are like this all the time. When they were on their honeymoon, no one saw them for a month. I was about to call the police." My mother commented. I blushed beside Patch. I looked up at Patch, he was laughing softly. When he caught me staring at him, he pulled me closer to his side.

Once we finished laughing, we entered the building. I stopped in my tracks. I felt sick. "Angel, you okay? You just turned pale." Patch was in front of me the instant I stopped.

I nodded my head. "I'm fine, I just need to go to the bathroom."

"I'll lead you to the bathroom. Come here." Vee took my hand and lead me away from the group. "We'll meet you all downstairs," Vee said over her shoulder.

I watched as I saw them leave one by one, by Patch remained. He stood in place worried. I was about to say something to him, but we already turned a corner.

I entered the bathroom with Vee. Once I set my sights on the toilet, I emptied m stomach. Vee was behind me rubbing circles on my back. I wish Patch was here. "You okay, Nora? If you were sick it was okay if you canceled with me."

I shook my hand. "No, no. I just came from two air crafts, I'm sure it's just motion sickness." I stood up, walking over to the sinks. (She flushed you guys. Don't worry.) I opened my clutch taking out a to-go brush from Colgate. I brushed my teeth until I couldn't taste my breakfast. All through my brushing, Vee watched my ever move.

"What's wrong, Vee?"

"Nothing, you're just glowing."

"Did you miss the part where Patch and I were sucking face? You're the one who commented on it."

"No, I know that, it's just not that type of glow." I looked at Vee. "You two have been married for 3 years, I wouldn't be surprised if you're carrying an addition."

I stared at Vee shocked. I put a hand on my stomach. "Patch and I never really discussed a . . . an addition."

"Well you should and when you do, you should call me and ask me to be the aunt. He or she can't call me aunt, makes me feel old." I laughed softly. I need to speak with Patch.

"All done?" Vee asked, redirecting my thoughts to her.

"Yes, we don't want you to be late for your engagement party." I grabbed my clutch from the sink, walking out the door to the hall way. Surprisingly, Patch sat outside waiting.

Vee and I stopped in our tracks. "Patch, what are you doing here? You were supposed to follow the others."

"I was, but then I got worried so I followed where you guys went." Patch stood up to his full height. "You okay?" Patch encircled my waist with his arms.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"I'm going to leave you two alone." Vee walked down the hallway and disappeared before I could say anything. I was about to say something when Patch and I heard Vee's voice. "Baby!"

"Baby?" Patch tested on his tongue.

"Yeah, baby." Patch looked down at me confused. "A baby." I looked up at Patch. "Baby."

Patch eyed me curiously until his eyes widened. "A baby? You think you might be pregnant?"

I rested my head against Patch's shoulder. The signs were there. Tampons, that went unused because my period for last month and this month hadn't arrived yet.
