Hellbound With You

It was nearly midnight when Alex arrived in front of Abi's parents' house. He picked up his fists and was about to knock on the door, but he halted and pulled his phone out instead.

He tapped some numbers on the phone's keypad but before he could tap on the call button to call Abi, his finger halted again and hovered over the phone keypad. Alex tilted his head and as though an interesting idea popped into his head, he smiled happily before slipping his phone back into his pants pocket.

Stepping back, Alex silently walked towards the side of the house and looked up at Abi's window. Her light was off. It seems his wife was still fast asleep. A mischievous grin spread across his handsome face again. Looking up at the dark windows, his eyes twinkled, and his heart thumped with excitement before making a strong leap that propelled him up from the ground.

Silently, he landed on the veranda, before moving close to Abi's closed window. As he crept close to the darkened window, he plastered his face to it and peeked through in search for his sleeping beauty. When he saw her sleeping on the bed, his smile widened.

Alex's first instinct was that he wanted to break in immediately so he could finally snuggle in bed with her and hold her close to him. He had missed her so badly after leaving her to deal with the issue with Zeres. This was the first time in a very long time since they were separated for such a duration since they had reunited after their separation. Thankfully, Alex had not had the moment to miss Abi much too badly in the past days due to the intense happenings with Zeres. It would have been a torture otherwise! He would not be able to have withstood the challenge too.

While Alex was still figuring out what he should do next, whether to silently break in or wake her up and surprise her, he was suddenly reminded that he once did this very same thing before.

The memories of that night when he realized on how much he loves her came flashing back… his confession and Abi's tears… he realized what a night it was. He also remembered everything that had happened before that and he could not help but smile, realizing that the both of them had been through so much. Then his smile slowly faded as he looked up at the sky the moment that he remembered the day he met Abi in that garage.

He could not help but bite down on his lip hard, remembering how he had actually sent Abi away and rejected her not once but a few times even. He still felt bad about it when thinking on it even now. And yet, Abi persistently came at him even when he had thought she was just a naïve little lamb back then. And such a cute little lamb she had been. The vision that flashed through his memories still could put a grin on his face until now. Recalling all that, his smile slowly faded. What would have happened if Abi was not her persistent self and had not pursued him after he rejected her that night?

Alex scoffed at himself and shook his head as he told himself there was no use in thinking about those what ifs now. The most important thing was that she is back in his arms again and would forever be with him now. Forever… that word brought such comfort to his once frozen as ice heart.

"Alex?" the sweetest voice in the universe echoed and drifted into his ears. Alex smiled widely again as he turned his gaze inside the window.

There she was standing beside the bed, his beloved wife. His angel… his life. He had made sure that he did not make a single sound to disturb her sleep! Did she somehow sense out his presence?

Upon opening the window, Alex swiftly and hastily entered before closing the windows shut. He did not want the chilly night air to cause her to catch a cold. Once that was done, he immediately rushed over, and hugged Abi close to him.

"You're back!" she whispered as she hugged him back tightly. When he looked down at her, Abi raised her head and he saw her eyes sparkling brightly at him.

"Mm. I'm back wife. I miss you!" he kissed her hungrily and Abi kissed him back with the same amount of fervour that he had.

"I've missed you too, Alex…" she replied as she caught his face in her hands after their kiss. "Are you alright? Tell me… is everything alright?" Her eyes were scanning his face, trying to find if there was anything wrong with him.

Alex wrapped his arms around her hips and lifted her into the air easily.

"Can we talk about that later, my dear wife?" he whispered as he buried his face into her abdomen and his eyes glimmered as he looked up and stared at her, "I'm starving…"

Abi blinked. "Alright… I'll go prepare something for you to eat -" she said as she wriggled, trying to get down from his arms.

"Abi…" he cut her off and he licked his lower lip slowly. "It's not my stomach that's hungry." Abi jerked as she looked into his eyes, before realising what he actually meant when he said he was starving.

Speechless, Abi pinched both his cheeks. Alex grabbed at her wrists and stuffed her pointer finger inside his mouth. He suckled on them in such an erotic way as his eyes smouldered through the dark strands of his fringe that hung down his forehead and slightly covered his eyes.

"I need my dose of you now, Abigail… I'm dying with hunger here, love..." He whispered and Abi could only give in, knowing that it was impossible for her to resist this man. She would not… no, she could not even think of resisting as she had missed him too. Too much in fact, that she was actually dreaming of him just before waking up just earlier.
