Chapter 27: Luke's Secret
I Only Own The Plot
CPOV
AN: This chapter will start with a time jump of a couple of months. There is another AN at the bottom. See ya down there!
Finally, today is the day that we can move into our new house. Construction on all three houses has been complete for a month now, but Ana's pregnancy has been a little tough. She has been on bed rest for a month now and it has been tough for her. I started working from home to make sure I am available for whatever she needed. Throughout all of this, she hasn't complained once. She just says that it's for our boys. We all are in awe of her.
"Babe, come on! Luke and Isa should be here soon," Ana says, breaking me out of my thoughts. Luke and Isa went on a mini getaway. Ana wasn't leaving the house, so this would be the perfect time for Luke to take a vacation. He knew she was safe with Jason and me watching over her.
The four of us are waiting by the elevators when it opens and we see Luke kissing Isa like he is a man possessed. I clear my throat and they break apart like they are teenagers being caught by their parents. We all laugh at them.
"Hey, guys! We missed you both so much. How was the trip? I'm so happy you guys got alone time," Ana said enthusiastically
"Banana! I am glad you are still in one piece. I was worried the whole time," Luke said, chuckling.
"Can you guys come and sit? We have news to share with you guys," Luke said grabbing Isa's hand. They led the way into the living area and we trailed behind, piling in the seat. My beauty is in my lap as usual.
"While we were away, I asked Isa a very important question. I asked her to marry me and she said yes," Luke exclaimed and we all cheered and congratulated them.
"Oh my God! How fast do you guys want to get married? Isa, we have so much to plan. We should start by getting you a dress and figuring out who you want for your wedding party. And-" Ana started rambling and Luke slaps his hand over her mouth.
"We don't need any of that. We already got married," Luke says beaming. Uh oh. I felt Ana tense on my lap.
"Without us? Without me there? And Dad," Ana said. I know that tone of voice. This won't end well.
"Well, yeah. We, um, we didn't plan it that way. Just a spur of the moment thing," Luke said, rubbing his neck. Isa looks like someone kicked her puppy.
"You didn't even call. We could've easily taken a flight to you. How could you?" Ana said with tears in her eyes.
"Banana, it wasn't like that. We just didn't-," Luke started.
"Didn't think about anyone else. Congratulations. I hope your lives are full of love," Ana said. She got off of my lap and walked toward our bedroom. Luke called after her and she completely ignored him.
"She says that as if she won't be a part of my life anymore. I didn't think she would react this way. I thought she would be happy that we finally pulled our heads out of our asses and got married," Luke said while rubbing his hands through his hair and pacing. I gave him a dry chuckle.
"You didn't think your sister would be upset that you got married without her being by your side? It's as if you don't know her at all. Look, I get that you were caught up in your happiness, but what was the first thing Ana and I did to prepare for our wedding? We included the family that matters the most to us. I am not going to spend any more time here explaining how you hurt my wife when she is probably in our room sobbing. I need to go make sure she's alright. Congratulations. The movers will be here at 4 to pick up our boxes to move to the new house," I toss out that last information over my shoulder as I rush towards our bedroom. When I first enter our room, I look towards the bed and notice that it is still freshly made from this morning. I look around and I see that our balcony doors are open. I see my wife standing there with her arms wrapped around herself. She doesn't seem to be crying, so I tilt my head thinking about how to approach this.
"Beauty? Why don't you come inside? I don't want you catching a shiver from us being so high up," I say in a quiet voice. I walk towards her and pull her into my arms. Her whole body sags once she is firmly against me. She isn't crying and that concerns me a lot more than it should.
"I feel angry, Christian. He hurt me in a way that only he can. He got married and didn't think twice about me. When we got married, Luke was so nervous that I would replace him with you. I reassured him on so many occasions that just because I was gaining you as my husband and best friend, I would never leave him behind. I didn't think for one second that I should have been the one that was worried about being left behind. I guess since we are adults with significant others, it is ridiculous for us to still have the same bond, but I feel cheated. I constantly made sure that he knew he was still a priority in my life. We included him with everything. With or without Isabelle," she never once looked at me while she talked. I just held her even tighter and let her vent into the air. Letting the wind carry her worries away.
"No matter what, I know you will never hurt me or disappoint me on such a big scale. As long as I have you, I have nothing to be worried about. I am just going to distance myself from Luke and worry about growing our boys. They don't need a stressed-out mommy. Thanks for the talk, baby." She leans up and gives me a smacking kiss on the lips. I am dumbfounded. I didn't say a single word. I watch as she walked over to our bed and started stripping her clothes off. She gave me a sly look over her shoulder and I knew that was my cue. I pull my shirt over my head and walk closer to her. I gather her into my arms and bring my lips down on hers. Her lips are so warm and soft.
"Do you know how much you mean to me, Beauty? You are my whole world and you gave me the greatest gift of our boys. I love you. So much," I say as I am kissing her on her neck.
"Make love to me, Baby. My whole world makes sense when I am alone with you. When you wrap your arms so tight around me, I know that nothing in the world can hurt me." I tighten my hold around her as she speaks.
I walk her closer to our bed until her legs hit the mattress. I gently lower her down to the mattress and I crawl onto the bed and lay next to her. We lay next to each other staring at each other for a few seconds. I am at a loss for words. Our eyes meet and emotion erupts from my chest. She brings her hand up to cradle my face. I lean into her hand and close my eyes. When I feel her lips touch mine, I open my eyes and I feel as if I am on fire. I sit up on my knees as she is looking up at me with a huge smile on her face. I slide her underwear down her shapely legs and lean down to kiss her lips. I am using my arms to hover over her so that I don't put any pressure on her stomach. I kiss down to her neck and make my way to her full luscious breast. Her light pink nipples have turned into a dusty rose color since her pregnancy. I gently wrap my lips around her nipple and use my tongue to lick it while it's still in my mouth. She groans and arches her back off of our bed. Her nipples have been so sensitive so I have to be gentle. After a few minutes of going from nipple to nipple, I kiss my way down her body. I stop at her stomach and give my boys a big kiss. Ana giggles and the boys seem to love her giggle because they kick every time she laughs. I continue kissing down her body until I reach her center and I immediately wrap my lips around her clit and suck it into my mouth using my tongue to circle it. She always tastes so sweet.
"Oh my God, Christian! Please don't stop," she begs. She didn't need to beg, I had no intentions of stopping anytime soon.
After two orgasms, she is pushing my head away from her and says that is enough. I place a gentle kiss on her clit one last time and kiss my way back up her body. Kissing her nipples one more time before I bring my lips back to hers. She wastes no time flipping me over and stripping my pants and boxer briefs away. She takes me all the way down her throat in one motion and I almost cum from that sight alone. She attacks my cock, getting it nice and wet. After a few minutes, I tap her head telling her I am about to cum. She takes me out of her mouth with a loud pop and immediately swings her leg over my body and sits on my cock. I close my eyes tight, trying not to cum. She moans about how deep I am in this position and I can't help but agree because I feel as if I am in her stomach. God, she is so tight, warm, and wet.
She lifts her ass and drops it back into my lap. Moans come from both of us. She sets a relentless pace of bouncing on my cock and she's basically milking my orgasm from me because she is tightening her walls as she lifts up. I can't take anymore. When she comes down on me, I grab her hips and still her. I flip her over and she chuckles, out of breath.
"Hey! I was having fun on my husband's cock," she says, grinning and I know she was torturing me on purpose.
"Well, now it's time for me to have fun with my wife. You have no idea how good you feel," I groan as I slowly stroke into her hot heat. After a few seconds, I pick up the pace and start pounding into her. I snake my hand in between us and start rubbing tight slow circles on her clit and she cums almost instantly. Her orgasm triggers mine and I bottom out in her with my balls flush against the crack of her ass. After what feels like forever, I stop coming and roll to the side of her. We are both breathing heavily and she turns to face me.
"Thank you for always being here. I don't know what I would do without you by my side," she says. I know the Luke situation isn't closed and done, but for the time being, I am going to let them handle it. I will step in before it goes too far.
"You will never have to figure that out. I am here until my very last breath." I say as I lean in to kiss her lips. She yawns in the middle of our kiss and I laugh.
"Take a nap, Beauty. Let me go make sure that our things are ready for the movers," I say sitting up and walking over to our closet. I throw on a new pair of briefs and some sweats. I grab a shirt before walking out of the closet. Once I walk out to our bedroom again, I notice Ana curled up on her side, hugging my pillow. I smirk as I pull my shirt over my head and walk out of the room. I quietly close the door and make my way to the kitchen. I see Luke and Isa sitting at the island and they both look up when I enter the room. Luke pops up out of his seat when he sees it's me.
"How is she? Is she going to forgive me?" He questions rapidly and I raise my hands.
"She's hurt, Luke. Just imagine if the shoe was on the other foot. You being caught up in your emotions isn't a good enough excuse. She rooted for you guys since day one. She included you in everything with us when you were single, and you didn't even tell her you were thinking about proposing. She's devastated, Luke. This isn't an easy fix," I said and turn to get myself some orange juice out of the fridge. Ana would kill me if I drank her apple juice. Hmm, maybe a little. No, not worth the wrath of my wife.
"I'm going to go talk to her and explain everything. She's the number one person in my life and I can't lose her," he starts to walk away, but I stop him.
"She's asleep. You wake her up and we would have to bury you twice. Give her some time, Luke. You can't force her to forgive you," I say and he hangs his head and starts to weep.
"This is my fault. I talked him into getting married quickly. He said we should wait, but I was so excited. I wanted it to just be us. Something that doesn't involve Ana," Isabelle says and I whip my head to her.
"So what you said earlier was bullshit! You did have a moment of clarity and you still chose to marry by yourselves. How could you?!" Ana screams as she came into the kitchen and we all whip our heads in her direction. I didn't even hear her footsteps.
"I woke up because I have a hard time sleeping when Christian isn't in the bed and I know he's near. I was going to seek you out to let you know I was sorry for overreacting, but I understand now," she says and then squares her shoulders. I know this stance. This isn't going to be good.
"I no longer require your services, Mr. Steele. Thank you for your service, but I will be protected by Jason from now on. I hope you have a wonderful life with your new bride," she says and we all gasp. Ana turns to me and looks me in the face. She has tears in her eyes.
"Christian, I would like to go finish my nap before the movers get here in an hour. Will you join me," she says and her voice breaks. I gather her into my arms and lead her to our bedroom and Luke shouts after us. Ana starts crying and shakes her head no. I close our bedroom door and lay Ana on the bed. I text Jason to reschedule the movers and laid down next to Ana. She buries her face into my chest and starts to cry harder. I held her tight as she cried, willing her to calm down for our boys. Her crying eases to a sniffle and she takes a deep breath.
"I'm not going to take Jason away from you. I will find a new bodyguard," she says quietly.
"Jason would probably like hanging out with you more anyway," I chuckle and she smiles. "How about I take Luke for the week and Jason can stay with you? That way you both can get your space." I suggest and she nods.
"Am I really in the way of their relationship? I thought I gave them enough space. Maybe I am just overreacting because I am pregnant. I was going to apologize, but then I heard Isabelle say what she said. I miss having Luke by my side every step I take, but I haven't bothered them since they got back together." She says quietly.
"I know you have, Beauty. Just give yourself time to think about your feelings. Nothing else in this world matters more to me than your feelings. I want you safe and happy." I say and then I bend to kiss her lips.
"The movers aren't coming anymore. I rescheduled for next week. I have to go into the office tomorrow, but I will continue to work from home the rest of the week." I say and she nods her head and snuggles closer to me. Well, as close as her bump will allow. After a few minutes, I hear her breathing even out and I know she's out cold. I reach for my phone to text Jason and Luke to let them know about the change of plans for this week. After I am done with that, I turn the television on to the news and I check my email while Ana sleeps next to me.
Ana starts to stir next to me and I realize that she's been asleep for a few hours now and is most likely hungry. I order us some dinner and we watch television together once Ana is fully awake. There's a knock on our door about 30 minutes later and I yell for the person to come in. It's Luke holding our food. He holds the bag up and Ana leaps out of bed. She snatches the food from him and slams the door in his face. I blow out a breath as Ana angrily sets up our dinner. This is going to be a long week.
AN: I'm back! I am so sorry for the long break, but I just needed time. I have a few chapters outlined and 2 finished already. The story will be back to regular updates. Laters, Babes! *Kisses* P.S. This thing between Luke and Ana will not last long. Siblings fight and then they get over it. Hang in there!
