Lidia immediately removed him from her mouth and leaned up, staring at him with wide eyes.
"No, wait! Lidia, I didn't mean-" Alfie tried but Lidia got off the bed as fast as her pregnant body would allow and rushed out of the room.
Alfie turned onto his stomach and banged his fist on the bed multiple times yelling "FUUUCCCKKK!" into a pillow before pushing himself up angrily. He pulled on some trousers and set off to find Lidia.
"Lidia, let me explain." He said as he walked into the nursery and found her staring at the crib.
"Explain?! Go on then, Alfie. Explain to me why you were just thinking about another woman while I was sucking your cock! I would love to hear your explanation!"
"I wasn't thinking about her." He said in a calm voice.
"YOU CALLED ME ROSE!" She yelled.
"I know. But it was an accident! I-"
ACCIDENT? NO! An accident is when you step on my toe as we dance. And accident is turning the corner and running into someone. Calling me another woman's name is NOT AN ACCIDENT!"
"Look, you've been gone! You have been gone for months and she was available. I called you that out of habit, not because I wanted you to be her! If you hadn't left-" Alfie stopped as he ducked a small flying lamp.
"DON'T YOU DARE BLAME THIS ON ME!" She said as tears began to fall from her eyes. "THAT'S WHY I FUCKING LEFT!"
Alfie walked toward her and began to put a hand on her shoulder, but Lidia slapped him then put her hands on his chest and pushed him.
"Don't you fucking touch me! You want your precious Rose so much, then go get her!"
Lidia pushed him again and walked past him to the sitting room, stopping at a linen closet on her way. She threw a blanket and pillow on the sofa.
"What are you doing?" Alfie asked dismally.
"If you think I'm going back to that bed with you…" Lidia said, the anger in her eyes taking over the tears.
Alfie sighed, "You're fucking pregnant. You're not sleeping on the sofa."
"No. You would rather me go back to that bed that I'm sure is covered in Rosalie's pleasure."
"I'll buy a new bed. Right now. I'll call Ishmael and have it delivered in half an hour." He offered. "But you're not sleeping on the sofa."
"You're not listening! I am not sleeping next to you!" She blurted at him.
"Then I will sleep on the sofa. Think of the baby, you have less than two months before you have him. You need to be comfortable."
"Comfortable." She repeated with a scoff.
"I'm sorry for what I said. I- …. This is fucking new for me, alright?"
"I want to move out." She said, tears still falling from her eyes.
"No, Lidia." Alfie sighed in frustration. "You're not…"
She looked at him, resolution on her face. "I'm moving out tomorrow. Then you can have her in your bed again. If you haven't already."
"You're the only one that's been in that bed since you returned." He said as she stood and began to walk away.
Lidia paused before she exited the sitting room. "I wish I hadn't come back."
Alfie laid on the sofa an hour later, staring at the dark ceiling. He hadn't meant to say it, the words just came out but Rosalie was nowhere close to his mind. Now Lidia wanted to leave his house and who knows if she would stay in London. The thought of losing her again flooded his mind and he stood and walked quietly to the bedroom.
He slowly cracked open the door. Lidia was laying on her side with her back to the door, facing the window. He listened and heard a sniffle and knew she was awake. He walked in and sat on the foot of the bed, facing the door.
"When I came home and saw you sitting on the sofa, I thought I was seeing things." He confessed. "I've seen you in the pub, on the street, in my dreams." He shook his head. "I told Ollie I wouldn't help look for you, but I spoke with the police, had them looking…. When I realized you weren't coming back, I burnt your letter, but it didn't help. I still-" He shifted to the side, looking at her silhouette. "She means nothing to me. She never has, she was just to pass the time. I used her to try and stop thinking about you, but it didn't work. I'd close my eyes and it was you on top of me or lying next to me in bed."
Lidia said nothing as she listened.
"Don't leave, Lidia." He said, emotion flooding his voice. "I can't lose you again, please."
She sniffled quietly as Alfie waited to see if she would respond. When she didn't, he surrendered and stood, walking back to the sitting room and sitting on the sofa.
A few minutes passed and he looked up as she walked in the room. Her nose was red and her eyes wet and puffy.
"I can't sleep." She said as the moisture from her eyes poured down her face.
Alfie sat there staring at her, watching as her bottom lip quiver before she rubbed her nose.
"You…. You don't want her?" Lidia asked thickly as her bottom lip poked out slightly before she bit it and a new wave of tears sprung to her eyes.
"No." He answered honestly, remorse showing on his face.
"I don't want to be your second." She said as a sob escaped her.
"What?" he asked as he stood and walked toward her.
"I don't want you to resent me for you giving up your life and the women, but I don't want to be the woman you come home and have sex with after having sex with someone else."
Alfie cupped her face in his hands. "I didn't have to give them up. But you are more important than them. Than any fucking woman that can cross my path. I want you, not them. You will never be my second."
Alfie slowly leaned his head down and planted a soft, gentle kiss on her wet, tear covered lips.
"If you ever call me Rose again, I'll kill you in your sleep and make it look like an accident." She said with a sniff before she turned and started walking back to the bedroom.
Alfie nodded his head in appreciation of her threat. "Alright, then." He said as he followed her to the bedroom.
He laid in bed fifteen minutes later, watching her sleep. The moonlight shone through the window, casting a blue light onto her tearstained face. Her eyes were still puffy, and Alfie brushed a hair from her lashes.
"Oh, fucking hell Alfie." He whispered to himself, acknowledging that he had fallen for a woman, against his own orders.
The next morning Lidia awoke to find Alfie gone. Looking at the clock, she realized she had slept later than she meant to. She was disappointed that the night before had ended so badly. She had desired to have him inside her since the morning they woke up with the same bed a week earlier. She hated waking up feeling this way.
She squeezed her thighs together, feeling that familiar yearning. She looked toward the bathroom, contemplated taking a bath and finding her release as she had done many times before. She groaned as she looked at the ceiling.
"Why did he have to fuck it up?" She said aloud with a pout.
She closed her eyes and imagined the night over, changing the ending. She began to rub her legs together as she fantasized about the things he could do to her. She ran her hand over her breast and felt her hard nipple as she began to breathe heavier, her desire growing by her own imagination. She ran her hand around her stomach and between her legs and could feel her own wetness.
She didn't want to touch herself, she wanted him to touch her. She stared at the ceiling in disappointment before a thought occurred to her. Quickly she got up and dressed.
"Good morning, would you like some breakfast." Edna asked as Lidia emerged from the bedroom.
"Um, Yes but I've got to run down and see Alfie for a moment."
"I'll prepare it and it will be ready for you when you are finished." Edna said with a single nod and a smile.
When I'm finished. Lidia laughed internally.
Alfie was sitting at his desk when he looked up to see a pair of bare feet walking toward his office.
"Uh, Lidia." He said as she walked in, "You realize your barefoot, right?"
"Yes." She said breathlessly as she walked around the desk.
"What are you-" He was cut off when she grabbed his face and put her lips on his.
She sucked on his bottom lip, running her tongue over it as she straddled his leg. Alfie put his arms around her and felt her stomach on his as she melted into his kiss. She kissed him deeply and passionately.
"I need you, Alfie." She whispered breathlessly and she slowly moved her hips to apply friction from his leg that was in between hers.
Alfie glanced down to her hips and a crooked smile emerged on his lips. "Alright. We'll go upstairs."
"No. Here. Now." She said whined as she moved her hip on his leg again and moved her hand down to rub him.
Alfie growled as she touched him over his trousers. "The men will see." He warned.
"Let them."
"No knickers?" He asked, as he moved his hands up her dress, tutting at her with a smile.
"They get in the way." She said as she covered her mouth with his again.
"Fuck, I can feel you through my trousers. You're ready, aren't you?" He said, beginning to feel his trouser leg get moist.
"Why are you making me wait?" She asked and his smile broadened as he watched the lust displayed through her body language.
He stood and kissed her as he undid his trousers. He freed himself and she began to lift the front of her skirt. He lifted her legs and began to set her on his desk before changing his mind and moving her against the wall on a console table that he pushed the belongings off of.
"Why not the desk?" She asked as he placed her down.
Alfie didn't answer, instead he inserted himself swiftly. Lidia cried out in pleasure at the feeling of him stretch her.
"Are you ok?" He asked to ensure he wasn't hurting her or the baby.
"Fuck me, Alfie!" She ordered and he immediately obeyed.
He pushed into her as their tongues enjoyed one another. Lidia moaned loudly, not caring that the entire distillery could hear. Alfie put his face in her neck and kissed her as she pulled him closer with her legs.
"What's my name, Alfie?" She asked and he leaned back to look at her, never stopping his movements inside her. She grabbed his face and looked him in the eyes, "What's my name?" She moaned.
"Lidia." He said as he kept his eyes on hers and thrust into her.
"Hm?" She whined, raising her eyebrows at him.
He kissed her, deeply and kept his nose touching hers as he repeated, "Lidia."
"Say it again." She said as she leaned her head back and he knew she was getting close.
He repeated her name over and over in her ear as her legs began to shake. She whined as her buildup grew with each thrust. Alfie closed his eyes and listened to her sweet sounds. She leaned her head forward and kissed his jaw before she fell apart around him, digging her teeth into his neck. Alfie held in his own climax as long as he could and when she came off her peak he shifted his hips and she cried out, throwing her head back, convulsing around him for a second time while her eyes rolled back. The instantaneous second orgasm was too much, and he couldn't stop his. Alfie released himself inside her, a groan escaping him as gave her all he had.
They remained there, panting.
"Fuck." Alfie said as he attempted to catch his breath. "If you weren't pregnant before, you are now." He said as he slowly removed himself from her and began to fasten his trousers.
"Again." She said as she closed her legs from many men watching, still sitting on the console table.
"What?" He asked, looking up at her.
Her chest was still heaving, and she licked her lips. "I've wanted sex more since I got pregnant than ever in my life. We've got seven months to make up for."
"You've done a good job hiding it for the past week." He laughed.
Lidia raised an eyebrow at him, the corners of her mouth not moving. She began to remove herself from the table and Alfie moved forward to lift her down.
"I'm going upstairs and I'm going to have sex all day. I can have sex with you, or by myself. You decide." And she walked out of his office.
He watched her walk a moment before he shook his head and began grabbing his things. "ADAM!" he barked.
"Sir?" Adam said as she emerged from the stills.
"You're in charge today. Make sure everyone does their fucking job. Don't bother me unless it's important." Alfie said as she walked out of his office, following the mother of his unborn child.
