Shadows of Destiny

The Man Once A Child -Tamia- Sylvester held me into the morning.

I felt a strong connection between us, something that wasn’t there before.

He was mine, and it was confirmed this time.

There was no fear or uncertainty between.

He was mine.

I still could not believe that he kept his promise and made me proud.

I thought I would walk out of the ballroom alone and humiliated, but instead, I left with Sylvester after he had publicly rejected Susan.

I honestly felt bad for her, but she did not seem nice.

How could she expect me to get up and walk away from my man simply because she showed up and they were fated? I guess she knows now.

3 I woke up in the morning feeling light.

The void I felt when I rejected Devin was gone.

I was filled with love and hope.

I looked to my side, and there he was, handsome as always, with his messy hair on the pillow, and I thanked the goddess for giving him to me.

I would have never imagined that I would be this blessed or there was hope for me after what Leo did.

I was grateful, and I knew I would always be.

I woke him up gently because we needed to be present for the opening ceremony in Lucland.

It also meant we would be staying in the house in Lucland.

I knew the staff had helped pack our things, so all we had to do was get dressed, get some food in our systems and head to Lucland to attend the opening ceremony.

I could not wait to be a part of the celebration.

There would be parades and performances from different packs from all over.

I was excited.

I nibbled Sylvester’s ear, and he groaned, waking up gradually.

He opened his eyes and looked at me with a frown which I returned, and then he grabbed me and turned me on my back and leaned over me.

Sylvester was that alert, and I liked 1.

He tickled me, making me laugh until my lungs began to hurt.

Then he stopped and stared at me.

“Good morning, darling,” He said, kissing my neck, making a moan escape my lips.

He did not stop but continued.

As much as I wanted to tell him we had something to attend to, I wanted him to touch me, so I held my tongue.

“I wanted to peel that beautiful dress off your body the last night,” He said, working his way down to my breast.

“I guess I will have to imagine I did and make do with what is in front of me,” He said and sucked one of my nipples while he played with the other.

My body anticipated it.

Soon he was inside me pumping.

1 I wanted to stay in the room and not go anywhere, but soon we both came and had to shower.

Sylvester washed my body, and I washed his.

It felt great.

Nothing was burdening our hearts.

I could not speak for him, but his eyes showed he was light, and I was light too.

“Thank you for remaining by my side through it, Tamia,” He said in the shower while I traced his tattoos with my hand.

“My love,” He said and lifted my chin.

I was battling tears, but we were under the shower, so he could not see it.
