A Hopeless Pursuit (Forbidden Love Series Book 10)

 

After two days, they returned home to Las Vegas. Liam whisked Lisa away to Parker mansion. His mom had returned and she was ecstatic to hear the news of Lisa's pregnancy. Kathy fussed over Lisa, feeding her all the healthy things she could get her hands onto. Laurence, Sandra, Arianna, and the children regularly came to see her.

Liam took care of her every need. She started her college online as she felt drained of energy. "Are you feeling better?" Asked Liam after feeding her some soup.

"Yes, I'm better. You'll be late for work," said Lisa lying down on their bed. She loved staying at Parker mansion in Liam's building. It was so huge and spacious. Sandra, Kathy and aunt Eugene had helped her arrange her stuff in Liam's room which was now hers too.

"Work can wait, baby. You're the most important person in my life. I want to ensure that you're better first," said Liam. She had been throwing up more since morning and everyone was worried.

"I'm fine Liam. Don't worry, " she said slowly feeling drowsy. She soon was fast asleep and Liam left for work.

Their wedding was fixed two weeks later. Liam didn't want to postpone it any further. If he could, he would have married her then and there just like his brother Lucas did or his cousin Tyler did. It was to be held at Parker mansion itself and only close friends did relatives would be invited. So Eugene Parker and Lisa were busy the whole day planning for the wedding. Lisa called up Sofia and Victoria who would be her bridesmaids. Arianna, of course, was her matron of honor. Liam's siblings and their families were also arriving next week. Eric Parker's brother Ethan Parker and his family were also invited. After all the guests had been invited, Liam's mom enthusiastically discussed what else needed to be done.

In the afternoon, Sofia and Victoria came over to discuss her wedding dress and bridesmaids' dresses. They brought a catalog for Arianna to select. After the dresses were shortlisted, they called up the seamstress from the boutique who came over to Parker mansion and took their measurements. The dresses would be delivered in five days. After everyone left Lisa went to the kitchen to learn cooking from Kathy and aunt Eugene.

"Are you sure you want to learn?" Asked Kathy.

"Yes, please. Start from the very basics. I don't know a thing," said an excited Lisa. She wanted to be a good wife to Liam. She wanted to be able to cook for him and her baby.

"Teach her how to operate the cooking range, Kathy, " instructed aunt Eugene.

"Yes Mrs. Parker, I'll do that. Come here Lisa, " she called her. For the next few minutes, she explained everything and Lisa listened intently. She tried things for herself and picked up quickly. As Kathy made dinner, aunt Eugene taught her how to chop vegetables. These were new things for her yet she picked up everything well. Dinner was made and Liam and his dad came home. Everyone appreciated the effort that Lisa was putting in. After dinner, Lisa helped Kathy with the cleaning up.

Tired but very satisfied with her efforts, she came to their bedroom. The moment she opened the door a very dissatisfied Liam strode towards her with a scowl on his face. Before Lisa could realize what was happening, he picked her up bridal style and carried her to their bed.

"What the fuck do you think you're up to? Why do you need to do so much work?" He said angrily, depositing her on the bed.

"I want to learn to do housework, Liam. I want to be a good wife and a good mom to our baby," she told him with wide innocent eyes. Liam's heart melted at her words. He climbed onto the bed and hovered over her, supporting his weight with an elbow and gently stroking her cheek with the back of his hand.

"There will always be people to do that baby. You don't have to know housework to be a good wife and mom," said Liam.

"It's important to me Liam. I want to be able to cook for you when I want to," she said. Liam looked into her eyes and saw that she really wanted to.

"Okay, don't overdo it. I don't want you falling sick," he said. "And I know another way of being a good wife," he said, staring at her luscious lips.

"Really? Show me how?" She said knowing the look that he was giving her. Liam wasted no time. He captured her lips in a hot and wild kiss that turned passionate. He branded her with his love. His hands roamed all over her curvy body till it landed on the zip at the back of her dress. Hoisting her a little, his mouth released her while he unzipped her dress and pulled it out of her. His smoldering eyes took in her delicious body, his fingers deftly unclasping her bra and discarding it. A gasp released from Lisa's mouth when his hot mouth started its torture upon her breasts.

"Oh Liam, please," she said in a raw desire-filled voice.

"Please what, Lisa?" He asked in a similar tone.

"I want you inside, " she said hoarsely. His fingers brushed aside her panties and touched her dripping wet folds. Lisa moaned out in pleasure. He pulled out his fingers and discarded her panties.

"You like this?" He asked, thrusting his fingers again inside her, slow at first and then picking up speed.

"Yes, oh, don't stop," she said, grasping onto his shoulders for support as she came undone. Her slender fingers pulled his tee-shirt out of him, throwing it away somewhere. Next, she unbuckled his trousers. Liam lost his patience and quickly discarded his clothes.

"I don't want to hurt our baby. Is it watching us being naughty in bed? Then it'll be a born playboy or girl," said Liam with a horror-stricken face.

"No to all your questions. Making love doesn't hurt the baby and of course, it can't see us, silly," she told him with a smile.

"Are you doing it or not?" Asked Lisa, glaring at him.

Liam chuckled and positioned himself above her. They made love till Lisa was exhausted and dozed off to sleep. Liam watched her indulgently, cuddling her to himself till sleep overcame his senses and he too dozed off.

The next few days were very hectic for Liam's mom as she was too busy planning for their wedding. Sofia and Victoria came nearly every day. They seemed more excited than Lisa. Liam took her to buy their wedding rings. They had a small date lunch at the Parker Suites, Las Vegas. It was the first time that she went to the regal-looking hotel. They were given such a royal treatment that Lisa was impressed. The wedding dresses arrived. The first fitting went well. The tuxedos had also been delivered. The food and decorations were taken care of. The marriage officiant was booked. Sofia and Victoria ordered the bridal bouquet and veil. They spoke to their makeup artist for Lisa's look. Everything was taken care of yet there was utter chaos at home. Lucas and Violet and Serenity and Alexander arrived with their children five days prior to their wedding. Carmella and Jaxon too arrived at Las Vegas with their kids Carson and Janelle. Tyler and River who lived in Vegas too visited the Parker mansion with their kids. There was excitement in the air as Liam was the youngest and they had been waiting for a long time for him to get settled down with his Lisa.

"Thank God, he found his Lisa. I was so unhappy for him," said a beaming Carmella. Liam colored a little while Lisa blushed.

"You have a lot to learn kid. I'll teach you many poses," whispered Jaxon into Liam's ears. His eyes widened with disbelief.

"Please bro. I'll manage without them," he said with horror. Jaxon grinned while Carmella glared at him giving him a 'don't you dare' look.

The kids played with one another, turning the whole place into a funhouse. Walter and William who were Violet's thirteen-year-old twin brothers were too excited for Liam's wedding. They were quite close to Liam, having bonded with him since Lucas's wedding. "Liam, come and play soccer with us. We're losing," yelled Walter.

Liam grinned at them and went with Jaxon to have a game against Lucas, Alexander and Laurence. Lisa sat with Arianna, River, Carmella and Violet laughing and watching the men play with the boys. Kathy got her a bowl of salad and she made a face. Sofia and Victoria cheered for every score excitedly.

"Not salad today please Kathy. I'm craving for mozzarella sticks," said Lisa with a pout. Kathy rolled her eyes.

"If you eat unhealthy stuff and you're baby not develop well," she scolded Lisa.

"Just two sticks and I'll eat this salad,  please," she made puppy dog eyes. Kathy gave up and did as asked.

Her wedding was in a week and life had never been sweeter than it was now. Lisa looked at Liam lovingly and he winked at her, blowing her a kiss.
