He immediately rose to his feet, saying, "I'll have legal draw up a postnup contract right now."
"I'm serious."
"So am I." But Lukas' teasing mood turned wary when his wife suddenly stood up with a determined look on her face. "What is it?"
"I'm thinking that I love you so much—-"
Lukas did his best not to wince at the words.
"—-that I just need you to take me now."
His head shot up.
"Please?"
A shaken laugh escaped her as Lukas came back to her side in a flash, but she ceased to think at all when he had her flat on his desk the next moment, and she heard the distinct sound of her husband unzipping himself.
Aaaah!
Her dress was up around her waist and her underwear dangling from one ankle when her husband thrust inside of her, and she started seeing stars as she did her best to accommodate his throbbing length.
He started rubbing her clit as his body set a furious rhythm, and her body immediately started to tighten with pleasure. There was just something about making love with most of their clothes still on that got to her, and with her husband pleasuring her with both his fingers and his length—-
It was just too much!
His mouth swallowed her cries as she came, but her husband also lost his control as soon as she started sucking on his tongue. His fingers dug into the sides of her hips as he came inside of her, and as she looked up and saw the passion etched on the chiseled features of his gorgeous face—-
Am I dreaming?
Or was that truly love she saw in her husband's eyes?
Chapter Twenty
THE DAYS THAT FOLLOWED were beyond everything Betsy could've imagined. Lukas hosted a huge party in their home, and her husband had proudly introduced their son - now named David - to all of his relatives.
And contrary to her fears of being rejected or regarded with disdain, everyone had instead been warm and welcoming, and they treated David like he was also their flesh and blood.
To help Betsy with her new role as his spouse, Lukas had also introduced her to his friend's wife Polly, and the two of them had become fast friends. And since Polly, like her, was quite the optimist, when the other woman declared it was only a matter of time before Greek society would embrace Betsy as one of them, she had happily believed it would be so.
And perhaps it could and should have been so, if not for a tabloid article once again turning her and Lukas into Athens' most controversial couple.
A source close to the former couple has finally spoken on the condition of anonymity. Tsaldaris had apparently been diagnosed with infertility, and the news had the billionaire suffering from depression and suicidal thoughts. His refusal to seek professional help eventually led to Rubio asking for time apart, which Tsaldaris consequently read as an act of betrayal.
Their unintended breakup is a decision both parties now regret, and our source firmly believes that the billionaire's recent marriage is no love match. "That woman's a gold-digger. She targeted him, plain and simple. She knew he was vulnerable, so she used her innocent son to tempt him with the promise of fatherhood.'
Divorce is reportedly imminent, but Rubio is said to be worried over her ex. The married couple has not signed any prenup, and the current wife is determined to take advantage of this oversight. 'She's going to bleed him dry if she can get away with it.'
Betsy was having breakfast with Lukas and David in her husband's office when his assistant knocked on his door and alerted them about the newest rumor circulating the Internet. And while the article had only been live for a couple of minutes, it had already been shared a couple of hundred times, and the comments posted on the page were even worse.
He probably married the new wifey just to give himself an heir.
Can't say I blame him for being depressed. Imagine having a pair of balls but not being able to make anything out of it.
I'm betting there's already a spinoff in the works: Rich Divorced Housewives of Athens. Guess who's going to be the queen bee?
A nod from the billionaire had Julie making up an excuse about taking D to the pantry in search of kid-friendly treats, and as soon as it was only the two of them, Lukas reached for his wife's hand in a bid to have her look at him.
"I'm sorry," he said harshly. "I had hoped for you and David to see the best of my homeland, but it is not right that you have to deal with this—-"
"This isn't your fault, Lukas." She meant every word, having now realized that the court of public opinion was a battleground that favored the rich and famous. Clearing up rumors - or inventing them in this case - was a matter of paying the right price, but such tactics held no appeal to Betsy at all.
