Chapter 18

Heinrich

Arriving, at my parents' home I kissed her hand before we exited the limo. Nyla and I were greeted by my parent's staff.

"Good evening Mr. Stark, and guest." Davidson, says ushering us to the dinner table.

"Good evening Davidson, and her name is Nyla." I say as Nyla places her hand through mine as we enter the dining room.

Clover, and my father were already having a drink and I knew I would follow suit. Heinrich's father is first to greet us.

"Well son, I'm glad to see you but who is this beautiful woman on your arm?" he says as he places a kiss to my hand.

"This is Nyla."

"Darling you are absolutely breathtaking."

"Thank you Mr. Stark." she says blushing, and I feel as if my father is giving her a little too much attention.

"Hello darling, and Nyla is it?"

"Yes and it is so nice to meet you."

"We've heard nothing about you, since our son keeps us out of the loop with everything." She says shooting him a look.

"Let's have a seat." I tell her pulling out her seat.

"Thank you."

"You look tasty sis." Xavier says and I shoot him a stern look. "She was mine before she was yours." Xavier, says jokingly.

"How have you been?" she swiftly changes the subject.

"Better than I've ever been."

"How's my favorite couple?" Clover, says over his glass.

"We're doing great." She says looking at me with that beautiful smile of hers.

"What a beautiful necklace." Clover says looking at me with a smirk.

"It was a gift from Heinrich."

"As it should be." My father says.

"Dinner is served." Davidson says.

The staff begins to serve us dinner and the table engages in small talk. Nyla, takes all of my attention as I watch her laugh and speak to my parents. She could go in any room and all eyes would be on her. Her beauty commands your attention and right now she has all of mine.

"Who would have known all it took was a little love to soften the beast?"

"Beast?"

Clover, and I exchange looks and then he smiles.

"You have a reputation dear brother, and it looks like Nyla has worked her way into your heart. So when's the wedding?" he says and all eyes are on us.

Clover, narrowed his eyes and waited in anticipation for my answer. The collar to my shirt became tighter and I felt the room become slightly warmer. I adjusted my collar and took a sip of my scotch.

"Speaking of marriage," Clover, says standing to give a toast. "I wanted to have you all here for dinner to announce my engagement to Xavier. I met his family and I felt it was time he met mine. Well the parental units. Since this will be the first and last time I marry." he says looking into Xavier's eyes.

I felt that last statement as if it was aimed at me. If I married Nyla, she wouldn't be my first wife but I'd be her first husband. But the thought made me uncomfortable. Marriage? We aren't there yet we're just in a rela-, relat-, we're together. For fuck sakes this shit is harder than it looks.

"Heinrich, are you ok?" Nyla, says stroking my thigh underneath the table.

"I don't know." I said in a haze. "I'll be right back." I left the table and I heard the chattering I'd left behind.

"Whoa big brother are you ok?" he says sipping his drink. "One mention about marriage and you're ready to run."

"What Nyla, and I have is complex."

"What's so complex about your relationship?" he said in that same defensive tone that I've grown to hate. "Listen Heinrich, if you know what it's like to lose her and what it's like to have her. Then you might want to start figuring out your future. Peyton, left a bad taste in your mouth. But if you went through all of that to have her back then I think it's clear what you want." he says before walking off leaving me with my thoughts.

I stood there in silence for the next few minutes until I heard her heels approaching.

"Hey are you ok?" she says sweetly.

"Yeah I'm fine I just needed some fresh air."

Nyla, comes and the rhythm of my heart steadies. I gently pull her into me and she pulls her eyes away from me.

"Are you ashamed of me?"

"I'm trying to protect you."

"I can protect myself." She says snatching away.

"Like you did against Sullivan?" I spit the venom out and she reacted as such.

Nyla, landed a quick slap to my right cheek and although I was pissed I couldn't blame her.

"Listen, my parents aren't very open minded people." I say stepping closer to her and that causes her to take a step back. "It took them years to pretend to accept Clover, and I don't care for their approval. You're mine and nothing will change that."

Nyla, shuddered as I said the word mine. There was no more space between us as I placed my hands on the wall at either side of her head. I watched her stare up at me with her lustful eyes, and her hand came back to my face but this time to rub the spot she slapped previously.

"I'm sorry." She says, I accepted her apology and place a kiss on her palm.

"No need to be. I was the one out of line."

Nyla, hand continues to caress my face and the need to take her here is becoming more and more overwhelming. I want to show my woman's body the upmost respect but it's pretty fucking hard when she's staring at me like this.

"I'm not ashamed of you Nyla. I've never been more proud to have something in my life since I have you now." I say lifting her chin and taking what is rightfully mine.

"Sir, I need you."

I don't hesitate attacking her mouth with mine as she moans sweetly into my mouth. I break the kiss and place a single finger to my lips signaling her to be quiet. Nyla, nods her head in agreement and turns around lifting her dress above her hips exposing the ass. The ass I've grown to need more and more with every breath. I watch as she seductively places her hands on the wall and arches her back waiting for me.

"I think I should have told you to wear panties tonight." I say while unbuckling my belt.

"Why is that Sir?" She says looking over her shoulder.

I don't give her another word before I thrust into her and we both moan simultaneously. Nyla, bites down on her lip as I grip her hips and give her the second deep thrust.

"Just so that I could rip them off and stuff them in that beautiful mouth of yours."
