Zach exhaled softly as he took in his appearance through the mirror. He was wearing an ashy gray suit with a white shirt. As he fixed his cufflinks, he could not help but think about the conversation he had with Amy the night before. His brows furrowed, he didn't want it to get her hopes up only to get disappointed.
One thing he learned, Amy valued family and the fact that she was separated from her mother..... Zach's expression grew dark when he thought of the Dark Waters; they needed to be dealt with. He sighed, realizing he had zoned out for too long. He went to his display cabinet to pick a tie before going out of the wardrobe.
He frowned when he saw Amy sitting on the bed, leaning against the headboard with a duvet covering her from her belly going down. She also had spaced out, probably lost in thought too. She snapped out of her reverie when she saw him sit opposite her on the edge of the bed.
He peeled the duvet away to reveal her stomach. With his hands on either side of it, he kissed the top as he spoke to his child.
"Cupcake, how can I go to work when you and your mommy are like this, hm?" His tone and expression was gentle. Amy reached her hand out to his hair and caressed it.
"We're fine", she answered. He wanted to express his doubt when he felt a kick against his right palm. A smile blood on his face as she chuckled. "See?"
He kissed her belly again before sitting up a little straight and gave her his tie. She hooked it around his neck and began to tie the knots. He was watching her concentrative face, it was intriguing to see her so focused.
"What?" She asked while looking up into his eyes.
He cupped her chin and caressed it with his thumb. "Are you still worried about what we talked about last night?"
She briefly fell silent then nodded. "To be honest, I'm afraid of what we'll find. Am I that child or is it soone else? If it's , will I like the truth or.... will I regret ever looking into it?" She sighed as she fixed his tie before hooking her arms around his neck. "I can't help but wonder what happened to my mother that is if I'm that child. How am I connected to an organization that trying to destroy ? What ever it is that we're going to find, it's going to define who I am. And I'm afraid of that."
Zach frowned when he saw the fresh tears brimming in her eyes. He cupped her cheeks and used his thumbs to wipe the fallen tears. "What we'll find will give you a picture of your beginning, but it won't define who you are. Who you are is defined by what you've beco today. And that's because of the path you paved for yourself despite the hardships that life threw your way. You beca Amy Jennifer Harper, the strong, smart, beautiful, and kind woman I love, my wife to be and mother of my kids. There's nothing to be afraid of. I'm with you every step of the way. Whether the truth is good or ugly, we'll face it together. I promise."
"I trust you", she sniffled softly. "And I love you too."
Zach circled his arms around her waist and sealed his promise with a kiss on her lips. She inhaled his scent and felt herself relax against him. She nibbled on his lip and he thrust out his tongue to et hers.
She felt the passion, the comfort, and the security he offered as he kissed her and held her in his arms. Yes, only in Zach's arms did Amy truly feel secured and unfraid. He had beco her pillar. A support so strong she couldn't ask for more.
"Mm!" She groaned in surprise when she felt a strong kick against her rib.
They both broke the kiss as Zach looked down to find her rubbing her side. "Looks like soone's jealous."
"Take it out on your dad and not ", Amy grumbled as she looked at her stomach.
"You're the one who kissed . I'm innocent", he smirked.
"Really?"
"Mm. You were practically doing everything, I thought you were about to rip my clothes off you little beast!"
"Beast? ? If anything you're the beast between us", she crossed her arms against her chest, unknowingly pushing up her breasts as she glared at him.
Zach cursed in his mind when he saw the milky white mounds and with much difficulty, drove his gaze to her face. "I didn't know that. Would you like to...", He leaned back and rested his palms on the bed, giving her access to his body. "...demonstrate what exactly a beast like does?" He wiggled his brows at her with a playful smile on his lips.
"You just want to get laid", she shook her head at his shalessness and he gave a shrug, not denying her accusation. "Go to work, I'm not in the mood."
"Really?" He arched a brow in challenge.
"Yes, really." She was failing to keep a serious face. She was smiling like a fool as she peeled away the duvet to get out of bed.
"Let's see if you'll still 'not be in the mood' once I touch you." Her movents were slower and he used that as an advantage and cages her between the headboard and himself whilst they were seated.
"Arrgghh! Zachery!" She shrieked when she felt his wet kisses shower hee neck before he nibbled on her soft spot.
"Wrong na", he growled as he sucked on that spot and gave her feathery kisses that made her laugh from feeling ticklish.
"Wait! Aaarrgghh! Stoooop!" She said in between laughter.
He briefly stopped only to whisper in her ear in his husky voice. "Co on... I just want to eat your sweet, sweet, p*ssy. That's all."
She stilled feeling her body grow hot. Zach moved to peck her lips as he took off his jacket. He neatly placed it on her night stand, loosened his tie, undid his cuffs and rolled up his sleeves, before going under the sheets. Amy was holding her breath when she felt his hands spread her legs wide. The sound of a fabric ripping was heard and she gasped at this.
"Aaahhh!" She moaned and shuddered when she felt two fingers enter her wet hole and slip out to rub her folds.
"Thought you said you were not in the mood?" He drawled with an amused chuckle.
"Shut up and- mmmm!" She closed her eyes in pleasure when she felt his wet and warm tongue launch against her at the sa ti he thrust in his fingers.

Stella, Richard, George and Xavier were already at the table as the couple walked towards them hand in hand. Zach waited for Amy to bathe before they both ca out for breakfast.
Stella had on an amused smile when she saw Zach lean down to whisper sothing in Amy's ear and the latter break out into a laugh and smack his arm. She was embarrassed by whatever it is he said. Stella felt relieved when she saw Amy like this.
"Good morning", Stella greeted happily.
"Good morning", Zach and Amy answered at the sa ti. He helped her into her seat before settling down beside her. They exchanged greetings with the rest as food was served for them.
"It's a good morning, isn't it dear?" Stella winked at Amy whose face grew red from embarrassnt.
George and Xavier sniggered seeing Zach fight his embarrassed by trying to keep a straight face.
"Stella", Richard scolded.
"What? We're all adults here", she shrugged as she continued to eat.
Xavier cleared his throat. "Um.... I have sothing to say. It's important."
Everyone looked at him as he had gained their attention. He cleared his throat once more and then spoke. "I'd like to thank you all for everything you guys did for . I'm really grateful for everything."
Everyone nodded at this but Zach. He was curious to know where he was going with his speech.
"But I can't stay here any longer. I'm leaving.... the city."
