62 - In secret

For a moment, the world around Helena vanished, carried away by the sensations of that stolen kiss.

Sebastian experienced a whirlwind of sensations. He had waited so long to kiss Helena, but he had always feared that she would reject him and walk away from his life if he did. However, the connection he felt with her at that moment was so powerful that he could not restrain himself and did not hesitate to taste those pink lips he had so often dreamed of.

Sebastian's soft, warm lips gave Helena a comforting feeling, as if she had finally found a safe place to belong. But, at the same time, a current of fear ran down her back, remembering all the hurts of the past and her fear of giving herself to love.

The CEO felt Helena's lips and his whole body tighten, bringing him back to reality.

He quickly pulled away, realizing that the kiss had not been desired by his secretary.

-I'm sorry I.... couldn't resist- he exclaimed nervously, trying to move further away from Helena so as not to scare her.

Helena felt overwhelmed by the sincerity of Sebastian's words and while her heart was pounding in her chest she grabbed the heir by the back of his neck, and without thinking twice she pulled him to her, joining their lips again in a kiss full of passion and accumulated desires.

When their lips met again, Sebastian felt a surge of dark lust invade his body, but also a deep longing to give Helena the love and security she deserved. He wanted to be her refuge in the midst of the storm, the man who would heal her wounds and show her that love could be something beautiful and genuine.

Slowly, the kiss between Helena and Sebastian deepened, their lips locked and danced in perfect coordination, as if they had both been waiting for this moment for their entire lives. Their hearts beat in unison, transmitting the intensity of their emotions through the contact of their lips.

Sebastian, feeling intoxicated by Helena's sweet taste, pulled her to him firmly and his hands began to delicately caress her face and hair. Each touch was gentle and careful, as if he feared to break that magical moment.

Helena, allowing herself to be carried away by the fiery connection that enveloped them, clung to Sebastian's neck more securely, allowing him to move deeper into the embrace. Half-hearted sighs escaped her lips, and her body felt weak against the strength of the desire she felt for him.

The elder Aller realized that this was not enough, and feeling the need to be even closer to Helena, he pulled her tightly into his arms and gently lifted her up onto the counter behind her, placing himself between her legs.

Helena let out a sigh of surprise at the movement, but she didn't have time to say anything, because their bodies merged in a passionate embrace, and Sebastian explored every corner of her lips with strength and desire.

The redhead felt overwhelmed by the intensity of the moment, she had never kissed with anyone in that intense way, sensations that she had never felt before invaded her body, her cheeks, her ears and her most intimate part felt heated. But it was not of pain, but of a fire that embarrassed her but at the same time asked to be calmed.

Sebastian stopped the kiss, but it was not to speak, but to slide down to Helena's thin, whitish neck, which was left vulnerable before the CEO's voracious mouth, which did not hesitate to taste her skin. His hands, which until that moment had been kept on her face, suddenly began to move down the sides of Helena's slender body, until they reached the edge of her skirt, which endangered well above her thighs.

This set off alarms in the young woman, who, remembering that night when her dress was mercilessly torn, knew that this memory would bother her forever, haunting the moment that could have been magical.

Quickly the redhead grabbed Sebastian's wrists in her attempt to slip under her skirt.

-Stop... -she whispered still with her eyes closed.

The CEO slowly pulled away, obeying Helena's request.

-I'm sorry- apologized the young woman, as if she was really guilty of something.

-It's okay," said the young man, helping her off the counter, "we can go slowly, we'll take all the time you want.

Helena bit the inside of her cheek helplessly.

-I think none of this is really a good idea, you're married- The redhead looked embarrassedly at her boss, who looked at her with his black eyes now tinged with sadness- Besides, this is only going to complicate our arrangement.

-Helena... I must confess that I feel confused about all this," he exclaimed overwhelmed, leaning heavily on the counter.

Helena felt sorry for him, being trapped in a situation he didn't want and that was something the redhead knew perfectly well, but she didn't want to be the one to make the decision for him either, it was something Sebastian had to decide for himself.

-Then it would be best if we don't rush into it.

-I don't want to walk away from you," he exclaimed fearfully.

-You won't," Helena seemed to think about it for a moment, "How about coming to lunch once in a while?

-I can come every day.

-No, no, that would be too suspicious, I don't want Katlyn....

-Yes, you're right," he exclaimed, regaining his composure, and keeping his desires from blinding his judgment, "I don't know what I'm going to do with her.

-You must tell her the truth.

-It's not that easy- he laughed ironically- I've gotten myself into something that's not easy to get out of and... I really feel confused about all this. I'm sorry Helena, I don't want to play with you.

-It's okay- Helena took Sebastian's hand- We can chat, get to know each other a little better and when you're ready we can move on.

Helena was being a good advisor to her boss and now lover? But in reality she was saying all that to herself. The redhead knew she couldn't lie to herself anymore, she felt something for that man, and even more now that they had kissed, but still she didn't want to ruin something that could be beautiful, she wanted to go slowly, to be able to trust him, to be able to give him her heart knowing that Sebastian would take care of it, and for that reason she couldn't afford to be only the second one.

-First do what you have to do with Katlyn..." she said smiling sideways.

Sebastian kissed the redhead's forehead lovingly.

-I promise to be back next week, rest," he said softly and gently placed his hand on Helena's belly, "May I?" he asked shyly.

-Yes...

The CEO bent down to the young woman's belly, and nervously squeezed the redhead's waist, and then gently kissed the place where her baby was.

-You rest too, my son.

Helena would have melted with love if it hadn't been for the lie that surrounded it all.

-Sebastian, I...

The redhead was about to tell him the truth about the boy, who was actually a girl, just at the moment when the CEO's phone rang, distracting him.

Sebastian looked at the number on the screen, it was Katlyn, and he knew it was best to leave. He didn't want to put Helena in danger of some crazy thing the blonde might do if she found out he had been there.

-I'd better go.

-Yes...

-Well, goodbye," her boss exclaimed uncomfortably, kissing her cheek, though he was dying to taste her lips again.

Katlyn arrived, as usual, at her husband's company unannounced. After a whole morning of sickness and vomiting, she was finally able to recover.

"If I had known this was what it was like to be pregnant I wouldn't have done it" She thought with annoyance.

She walked past the reception desk without greeting, and up to the top floor.

But when she cheerfully entered the office, hoping to meet her love for whom she was doing all this for, her smile was wiped away as he was nowhere to be found.

Puzzled, she asked one of the employees her whereabouts, who replied in fright, as the blonde could be just as ruthless as her husband.

-E-heh, he said he was going to a business lunch, s-s-sir.

"How strange, he didn't tell me anything" She thought as she called him on the phone to no avail.

Had it not been for the blonde's cell phone ringing for a new notification, Katlyn might have tied up some loose ends, especially with Helena's absence from her desk. But when the blonde read the message from her brother-in-law, her whole world came crashing down again.

"I'll expect you at my pent in half an hour, I can't wait for you."
