Lost In A Daydream

Chapter Thirty-Nine

The crib arrived and so did the nursery room furniture. Colton felt a new found energy inside him to assemble them for Asher. Ever since Victoria disappeared into his bedroom he had been fidgeting here and there, wanting to talk to Victoria more, to kiss her again but she didn’t once emerge. 

He opened the adjoining door which connected the nursery to his bedroom. Victoria gasped while feeding Asher. Colton couldn’t take his eyes off her. She looked so beautiful feeding a baby, almost like a Goddess or an angel. “Colton, what are you doing here? I’m feeding Asher!” exclaimed an agitated Victoria, her face flushed with color. A strange light entered his eyes and he determinedly walked into the room instead of going away.

“Get used to me, baby. You’re mine, you said, didn’t you?” he reminded her. Victoria’s mouth hung open. Of course she had said that but would he stare at her that way every time she fed Asher? 

Colton stared at her ripe breasts for the first time and yearned to touch them. Her sultry lips looked more luscious than before and he was on the verge of losing his sanity. Victoria hadn’t responded to his question which only excited him further knowing that she was joe his, only his. He abruptly strode out of the room unable to take in anymore. He didn’t want her to see how aroused he really was for her. For the next few minutes, he fixed Asher’s nursery. Finally it was complete and ready for use. Victoria placed a sleepy Asher on his comfortable crib and he immediately dozed off to sleep. Colton had placed a digital baby monitor too for Asher and Victoria had to appreciate his efforts.

“Do you like the room, now?” asked Colton, looking proud at his handiwork. He had never fixed up a nursery in his life. Victoria looked around and appreciatively. 

“Not bad. I love it. Thanks, Colton. I have to change my opinion of you, it seems. You’re proving to be such a good dad to Asher. Well! I don’t want to hurt you or force you into this.  Do you want to be a dad to Asher?” she asked him hesitantly. Colton looked at her with hurt in his eyes.

“Of course I want to be his dad. Why else do you think I’m doing so much?” he asked looking offended. Victoria smiled with relief. 

“I’m just asking, Colton. I don’t want to impose,” she said. 

“Impose? You’re here to have a future with me, right?” asked Colton eagerly. They walked out of the nursery to allow Asher to get his sleep. 

“Obviously, yes,” said Victoria.  “Okay, sorry that I asked. Happy?” she said with a smile. Colton shook his head. 

“How can I be happy when you didn’t even give me a single kiss?” he asked, pulling her into his bedroom. He pushed her against a wall, his eyes boring into hers. With his body pinning her against it, Victoria’s breath hitched with anticipation. She closed her eyes waiting for him to crash his lips to hers. It was something she had been wanting badly but he didn’t kiss her. 

Opening her eyes she looked deep into Colton’s dark stormy ones that were inches from hers. “I want you to kiss me, Victoria. I want you to look at me as you kiss me. I need you to realize that you’re kissing me and not Trevor, “ he whispered looking jealous. Victoria gaped at him angrily. How could he even think that? 

“How can you even say that, Colton?” she gritted, pushing him away angrily. 

“Why not? You were marrying him? You two must have shared something together?” Asked Colton looking jealous. Victoria stomped away from him but he caught her hand.

“We didn’t share anything of what you are implying. We only held hands, nothing else,” stated Victoria furiously. 

“How can that be possible? You’re trying to tell me that you two didn’t do anything and yet you were planning to get married? That’s unbelievable, don’t you think so?” asked Colton, looking frustrated. Tears pooled into Victoria’s eyes. What did he think she was? 

“Don’t believe me, then. Trevor and I never loved one another. He was marrying me to have a family to call his own after his wife died. I was marrying him only because of Asher. I didn’t want him to be called an illegitimate child,” said Victoria with tears in her eyes. “We never even kissed,” she whispered, wrenching her hand free to go somewhere and cry in peace. 

“Oh, I’m sorry, I..,” started Colton looking guiltily at her but Victoria interrupted him. 

“What do you take me to be? I’m not a wh*re as you may think me to be. If Pete hadn’t taken advantage of me, I would have still been a virgin waiting for the man I love. I think you can’t understand me at all,” she sobbed running away from the room. Colton’s eyes widened with guilt. What had he done? He had again managed to hurt her!

“Wait, Victoria! I didn’t mean it that way at all. I was just feeling jealous of Trevor, that’s all,” he said, running after her. He caught her and picked her up on his shoulder and marched back to his bedroom with her struggling to get free. 

“Let me go, Colton. Coming here was a mistake. You don’t love me at all. I was foolish enough to love you and dream of a happily ever after with you,” she yelled angrily, beating his back with her fists.

“Ah, what I’d been dying to hear!” he exclaimed making Victoria close her mouth instantly. He was so weird! Out of her long speech, all he could catch was that last few words? Colton reached his bed and dumped her upon it. Victoria was stunned by his behavior but before she could utter a single word, he was already hovering over her. Stunned Victoria opened her mouth to protest but he smashed his lips to hers instead. There was no gentleness or foreplay but only fireworks and passion as he plunged his tongue right into her parted mouth to devour her. His hands clamped on either side of her as his mouth hungrily kissed her, the intensity making her lose herself to him. Both were on fire , not getting enough of the other. Colton’s mouth was relentless as it hungrily devoured her sweet mouth, making her lean with pleasure. His body was crushed to hers while his leg was tangled with hers, making her feel the tell-tale signs of his aroused state. 

“Oh, Colton,” moaned Victoria, wrapping her arms around his shoulders and kissing him back with the same fervor. Colton’s whole body trembled with excitement as this was all he had wanted ever since he had first seen her. His hand went under her top and touched her stomach, caressing the smooth creamy skin. 

“Tell me what you feel for me, Victoria,” he pleaded when finally he released her mouth to catch his breath. 

“You know that I love you,” whispered Victoria shyly, her lips swollen from his kisses. 

“Again. Say it again,” he pleaded.

“I love you Colton, only you,” she whispered. Colton pulled her into his chest, his face embedding into her hair.

“I love you too, baby. More than I can ever express myself. I love you more than I love myself. Maybe I’m a weird and crazy guy but my love for you is true and pure,” he said, kissing her forehead lovingly. 

“I know,” she grinned at him. Her phone buzzed and Colton groaned, releasing her. 

“It’s mom. What do I tell her? She’ll be mad at me,” said Victoria, panicking. 

“Explain to her. I’m sure she’ll understand. I’m going to make lunch. You can talk to her here,” said Colton, getting up. Victoria nodded and accepted her mom's call. 

“Where do you think you are? We’ve been going crazy searching for you since morning. It was only when Davion called to inform us did we know the truth. Why did you have to leave home without informing us? That too you had to embark on a five- hour journey with a month old baby! Have you gone crazy, Victoria?” scolded her mom. 

“Mom, I love Colton, I’ve come to him. I’m not going back to Las Vegas. If I told you, would you have allowed me to come to Colton?” she asked her mom. 

Her mom sighed. She was right, if she had informed them, they would never have allowed her to go. “What about Trevor, Victoria? What will I tell him when he returns?” asked her mom. 

“Tell him that I can’t marry him,” said Victoria. 

“He’s done a lot for you, Vicky. I don’t want to hurt him,” said her mom.

“I know mom but I can’t marry him for that reason. It will ruin four lives, mine and Trevor’s, Colton’s as well as Asher’s,” said Victoria. 

“I can understand that but will he? There’s someone at the door. I’ll talk to you later,” said her mom, disconnecting the call. Victoria prayed that or wasn’t Trevor! Her mom would never be able to cancel the wedding herself. She liked Trevor too much!
