FLASH MARRIAGE; CHARMED BY THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE CEO-Chapter 204: I Love You

"What about your dad?" Blaze asked recalling the senator and Amelia talking earlier in private before they parted ways at the hospital.

Amelia shook her head again in response.

"Does it have anything to do with your friends..." Blaze paused before adding. "...or Tina?"

Amelia rolled her eyes in response making Blaze chuckle. He knew Amelia didn't like Tina one bit and didn't bother hiding her disgust.

"What about me, is it something I have done or said?"

Amelia blinked twice at this statement. She bit down on her inner lower lips, her gaze dropping as the tears she had been trying to hold back fell down her flushed face like little droplets of rain.

Blaze's shoulders slumped a heavy sadness etched on his face at her reaction. He couldn't believe he was the reason behind her unknown pain. But what had he done and where had he gone wrong? He couldn't remember ever doing anything to hurt her.

"Hey...." He leaned closer, wiping the tears on her cheeks with his thumb.

"Please, don't cry." He said wrapping her up in his arms and cuddling her like an infant. He kissed her on the centre of her head and said.

"I'm sorry in any way I may have offended you either by my words or actions. I will never intentionally hurt you, because you are very special to me. Nevertheless, I'm not perfect. So please, tell me where I have aired so that I can make amend." Blaze pleaded, stroking her hair. He listened to her sniff before a tiny sound came out of her throat.

"I love you." Amelia croaked, her voice barely above a whisper but Blaze heard those faint words which knocked the air right out of his lungs.

He pulled her away from his chest, his hands still holding her firmly. His heart was drumming so loudly that he felt it was about to explode with unfathomable joy. He stared affectionately at her lowered gaze, desperate to look into those magical eyes.

"What did you say?" Blaze asked softly, wanting to confirm what he heard and ensure it wasn't his heart voicing out his feelings.

Amelia felt she was about to pass out from embarrassment. Her heart was drumming erratically inside her chest, threatening to leap out. It had taken all her courage for her to say those three magical words. Asking her to repeat them felt like asking her to jump into fire the second time. But what was there to lose, her dignity? She had already lost it since the day she lost her purity to him.

Moreover, she needed to know if he loved her enough to father a child with her. If he didn't, then what was the point of telling him that she was pregnant for him?

"Amy..." Blaze lifted up her chin to look into her eyes. "Did you say that you love me?" He asked softly, stroking her cheeks with his thumb.

Amelia swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat as she held his hypnotic gaze. There was no anger, no disgust and no judgment in those enchanting silvery grey eyes. All she saw was raw and undiluted love, mirroring her exact feelings, if not more.

Amelia blinked back her streaming tears and slowly nodded her head while exhaling through her mouth.

Blaze gently cupped her face with both hands, his thumbs wiping her flowing tears. He leaned forward, stopping only inches away from her face, his warm breath fanning against her flushed face. He kissed her briefly before reciprocating the feeling.

"I love you too, Amelia Shawls Anderson.

Amelia's teary eyes gleamed with the same excitement as a child seeing fireworks for the first time. "You do?" She asked not believing her ears.

"Yes." Blaze kissed her again on the lips, his eyes, aglow with thrill. "I have been in love with you ever since the day we made love by the lake. I have just been too scared and stupid to tell you how I feel because of the condition I gave. I'm glad that you are the brave one amongst the two of us"

"Oh, Blaze..." Amelia threw her arms around Blaze's neck and hugged him dearly. She pulled back looking into his eyes. "Thank you."

"For what?" Blaze arched his brows, smiling like a teenager with a crush.

"For loving me," Amelia said chuckling.

"I should be the one saying thank you for accepting and tolerating a hothead like me."

"I love you, so much." Amelia nuzzled him on the tip of his nose.

Blaze snaked his hand around her waist pulling her closer until there was no space left between them.

"Not as much as I love you." He said in a deep husky voice before claiming her lips.

Lost in the heat of the moment and the warmness of his arms, Amelia completely forgot about the main reason for her heartache

The night slowly rolled by, drowned in their passionate moans and cries of pleasure as Blaze made love again and again to his beautiful wife, losing himself completely to her.

By dawn of the following day, the streaming sunlight from the slightly patted maroon velvety curtains cast a soft glow on the nude bodies of the lovers, entangled in each other's arms.

Amelia had never felt so much pleasure in all her life as she slept like a baby, snoring softly until she was awoken by the tender kisses of her husband, who couldn't get enough of her.

"Good morning, my love," Blaze whispered into her right ear while nibbling on her ear lobe, making her giggle. It felt good to finally express how he felt without holding back or feeling caged.

"Good morning, sweetheart." Amelia slowly turned around to face him, slightly stunned to see him wide awake and panting for her.

Even though she was slightly drained from the intense lovemaking from the previous night, her slutty body was aroused by the hunger in his eyes.

"Did you sleep well?" Blaze asked, stroking her side.

"Like a baby all thank you." Amelia said pinching the tip of his nose. "How long have you been awake?"

"Long enough to know that I want more of you," Blaze said in a deep husky voice that made Amelia giggle.

"Don't you have work this morning to attend to?"

"Work can wait." Blaze climbed over his giggling wife, resting his weight on both his arms. "All I want to do right now is eat you for breakfast." He tickled her on the neck making her laugh out loud.

"What if I get pregnant?" Amelia asked playfully.

"Pregnant!" Blaze's expression suddenly went cold, taking Amelia by surprise.
