Pampered Like A Princess

Nelissa made the tea and brought it to Mikaelson.

Mikaelson took a sip and he was pleasantly surprised. He then continued chatting with Edward.

Edward seemed to be very close with Mikaelson and he respected him a lot.

Nelissa sat silently on the side. She didn’t leave this time because her ankle was still hurting. She couldn’t risk making it worse.

What if she couldn’t go to work the next day? It would only bring about so many problems.

Edward and Mikaelson went on for about an hour. He finally stood up, bowed to Mikaelson, and left with Nelissa.

As soon as they stepped out of the ward, Edward bent down and carried Nelissa in his arms again. The guards at the entrance watched on in disbelief.

Sophie, Edward’s legitimate girlfriend, had just come over earlier that day. Who was this girl then?

Back in the car, Nelissa’s ankle felt relieved. She had not been walking a lot that night thanks to Edward. She moved slightly and she could smell the masculine cologne that Edward wore.

It mesmerized her and sent her into a trance.

“Home,” Edward said. Andrew nodded and began driving.

Nelissa frowned. She knew that Edward didn’t mean to send her back to her home.

“Are you going to send me home?” Nelissa asked inquisitively.

“We are going back to my place. I’m exhausted and I don’t want to go anywhere else. You need to rest your ankle too,” Edward added.

“I don’t want to,” Nelissa refused. Edward turned and stared at her. His eyes were radiating with heat and Nelissa felt all her instincts cry out in danger.

She lowered her head and said softly, “I was not home yesterday, so I have to be home today. I have two kids, remember?”

Edward was unhappy. Nelissa was refusing him and yet, he could not seem to get angry at her.

“Go to her place!” Edward suddenly said loudly. Andrew made a sharp turn and they went down another exit.

Nelissa leaned against the door and she felt very cold. The atmosphere in the car was giving her frostbite.

She didn’t even dare breathe loudly. Come to think of it, she had angered him twice that night.

She knew the consequences of offending Edward. He could easily make her life in Haleston City a living nightmare…

The entire car ride was silent until they finally reached Nelissa’s condominium.

Nelissa didn’t dare to say anything else. She opened the door and reached out her injured leg. She squinted her eyes and braced for the incoming pain.

All of a sudden, Nelissa was pulled back by a large force and she landed on Edward’s rock-solid abs.

Edward placed his hand on her cheeks and said grumpily, “Why are you doing this? People might think that I am abusing you!”

Nelissa frowned. He was not completely wrong; he was abusing her emotionally…

Edward carried Nelissa out of the car. Nelissa started panicking because she knew that the twins were home.

“I can get home myself, thank you for…”

Edward interrupted her immediately, “Another word from you and I will carry you back to my place.”

Nelissa covered her mouth immediately.

They got in the elevator and Nelissa’s heart was thumping.

It was close to the twin’s bedtime and Jolene was probably reading them a bedtime story.

The twins would be overjoyed and too ecstatic for bed if she were to go home too.

Nelissa would be delighted too for the twins were her source of joy. But things were different right now…

The elevator stopped.

Edward carried her to the door of her condo and gently let her down. Nelissa shot him a look; why didn’t he just go back to his place?

However, try as she might, but Nelissa couldn’t seem to get those words out of her mouth.

She was afraid that Edward would catch on.

Nelissa bit her lips and scrambled through her bag to find her keys. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and opened the door!

The condo was empty. No one was home.

She noticed that the shoe rack was empty. They were probably still outside.

Nelissa was extremely relieved.

She suddenly recalled that Jolene had mentioned that she was going to bring the twins out for supper.

It really was a narrow escape!

“Why isn’t anyone home?” Edward glanced at Nelissa’s blushed face.

“Jolene brought them out for supper,” Nelissa said with a smile on her face.

Edward nodded and then, all of a sudden, he paused and asked flirtatiously, “Aren’t you going to invite me into your home?”

Staying with him alone?

A man and a woman alone in a room would definitely lead to steamy situations.

Besides, Edward was clearly very interested in her as well.

Nelissa decided to invite him inside. She couldn’t possibly refuse him as that would become the third time she had angered him that night.

Three strikes and she would be out!

“Make yourself at home, but there is nothing special around,” Nelissa said as she got a pair of slippers.

“Yes, it is quite a tight fit in here,” Edward answered and began glancing around the room.

Nelissa then made her way into the kitchen.

Edward took the remote and turned on the television. The documentary that he usually watched was already over. He then made his way into the kitchen behind Nelissa.

Nelissa was busy in the kitchen. She poured some water into a glass before popping a few slices of lemons into it.

“There is really nothing to drink, so just bear with this.” Nelissa handed the lemonade to Edward.

“Alright.” Edward’s eyes lit up. He slowly finished the drink.

A simple concoction of plain water and lemons were oddly refreshing.

Edward opened the fridge and it was chock full with snacks for the twins. He noticed that there were cans of soda on the side.

“Soda?” Edward picked up a can.

Nelissa was stunned. “Do you even drink that?”

He didn’t seem like someone who would settle for such sugary, unhealthy drinks.

Edward placed the glass into the sink and replied, “Sure I do.”

Nelissa didn’t respond. She turned to wash some apples in the sink. She needed to make sure that nothing else was going to happen that night.

Nelissa passed one of the apples to Edward and took a big bite of the one in her hand.

Edward looked at her and found her really adorable. Even the way she munched on the apple was seductive.

Edward slapped her extended hand away and dove in for the kill. He assaulted her lips with his own and pried her teeth open with his tongue.

The taste of fresh fruit filled their mouths.

Nelissa let go of the apple in her other hand as it fell rolling on the ground.

She tried to push Edward away but he had already wrapped his arms around her waist and head.

Nelissa felt her strength being siphoned away and her injured leg was not much help either. She fell limp into Edward’s embrace. Edward propped her up higher as he continued entangling their tongues together.

Edward carried her to the couch and pressed her down.

Nelissa struggled to speak, “Wait… my kids are coming home soon…”

“Let’s go to your room then,” Edward panted.

He ran his slender fingers down her cheeks and across her neck…

The sensation was driving Nelissa nuts. Her face was flushed and droplets of sweat formed on her forehead.

“Edward, please… they will go to my room once they’re back…”

“Alright,” Edward took a deep breath and kissed Nelissa’s neck. That kiss was like an aphrodisiac and Nelissa felt an electric current cruise through her body.

“Let me have some fun before that happens,” Edward teased.

Thirty minutes later, Edward left with the apple.

Ten minutes from then, Jolene strode back with the twins. They were clearly very happy with their satisfied tummies.

They came home to Nelissa sitting on the couch and staring blankly into space.

The twins were thrilled to see their mother. They crawled up beside her and began kissing her cheeks. Noelle suddenly exclaimed, “Mommy, are you having a fever? Your face is so hot!”

Jolene came over with concern. “Are you alright? Did you go for a jog just now?”

Nelissa snapped back to her senses. She could still taste Edward’s saliva on her lips.

“No, I sprained my ankle. It’s hurting so much,” Nelissa lied.

She then immediately went to the shower.
