Heir (Book 2)

Chapter 12

This one is for Fetiti because she is one of my ride or dies on this app, simply said. :)

⚠️WARNING! EXPLICIT STUFF UP NEXT! ⚠️

Matéo Santiago's POV.

It has been a good 3 weeks since Adeline went to meet up with Jerome.

She has been avoiding me ever since then, like I'm the plague and I'm starting to think that I have done something wrong.

By the time I wake up in the morning, she is already up and sometimes out of the house at work and by the time I go to bed she is already 'asleep'.

I have been giving her some space, just to think about things, but today I have something planned out for her.

I want her to stress out less so maybe this will help out.

My thoughts are cut off, when she walks into my office, closing the door behind her.

I look up from my work and give her a small smile.

"Good evening, amore, I was just finishing up" I tell her, running a hand through my hair.

"Hm" she responds distantly.

I sigh.

"Baby is there something I should know about?" I ask her and she looks at me.

A small smirk creeps onto her face and she walks round my desk and crawls onto my lap.

Well this is new...

"Babe...." She says, dragging her hands through my hair.

I nod and wrap my arms around her waist, gently.

"I got a call from the hospital and we might be having twins!" She tells me and I gasp.

"For real?!" I ask, picking her up, bridal style and then spinning her.

She giggles and clings to me.

I sit back down and look at her.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" I ask, pulling her closer.

"I really wanted to surprise you..." she tells me.

I grin.

"Wow, I'm so happy!" I exclaim.

She sweeps her thumbs under my eyes.

"Babe, do you always have to cry before I give birth?" She chuckles.

"Yes, amore, I have to cry. I'm extremely proud!" I retort.

She stares at me as I talk.

"What?" I ask her.

She leans down and kisses my neck gently.

"I'm so in love with you" she whispered and my heart skips.

"I love you more, baby" I respond and she giggles.

She in turn gives me what I am sure will turn out to be a huge hickey.

I know what that means.

She pulls away and gets up, going back around my desk and to the front door and she locks it.

I raise an eyebrow at her.

She turns back around and walks to me, straddling my lap.

I bite my lip.

"Adeline we're in public" I tell her with a grin on my face.

"So?" She asks, unzipping my pants.
