I quickly scrambled towards the window, alarmed by the worsening rain storm outside. "Don't worry Elisabeth, my son will be here soon."

I tried to stay calm, but there's a serious storm and the roads are unsafe. The roar of thunder echoed in the house as lighting stricked the heavy clouds.

"He should have waited for the storm to pass before taking Charles and Tulipa home." I exclaimed over the loud haul of the rain. "It's dangerous and cold. I kept telling him to wait but he was too stubborn to listen."

Robert was laying on his bed, reading a book as I stood by the window gazing outside. Praying that Enos gets home safe and sound. He's been gone for over two hour and the drive to Charles' house is only thirty minutes maximum. I can't help but worry.

"Why are you terrified?" Mister White folded his book and adjusted his spectacles.

I turned around to stare at him. "That!" I pointed outside. "He won't be able to see the road ahead with this type of weather." I was nervous.

"He will be alright." Robert responded simply. "This is not the first time Enos drove against a storm. You must learn to trust him."

"Of course I trust him."

"Then why worrying? He gave you his word that he will return safely. That is all you need."

I sighed sadly. "Enos better return to me."

Mister White narrowed his eyes, "Why are you terrified?" He asked again.

"I already answered that question."

"You gave me only a fraction of the truth. There is a fear in your eyes and I recognize that kind of terror because I've seen it many times before. The type that comes as a result of experiencing loss at a certain point in life and being afraid to go through that again."

My eyes widen, how could he have__?

"You won't lose my son. Enos gave you his word and will keep it. If there is anyone on earth that would do anything for those he loves, it's my son. He won't ever let you down."

I smiled, pulling the sleeves of my cardigan to cover my hands, it was extremely cold. Robert is one of those people who are easy to get used to. Just like his children. "I should go and prepare tea for when Enos arrives. I'm sure he'll need it." I excused myself.

"Turn the lights off on your way out. It's past my bed time." He smiled back. "Have a good night."

"Good night, Robert." I switched off the lights and closed the door.

After another hour of waiting, I heard a load pounding on the door. "Elisabeth." His voice roared behind the main entrance. I run quickly to let Enos inside and exhaling in relief that he is home finally, and safe.

"Fuck," He cursed as he stormed into the house. I quickly shut the door close as drops of rain penetrated. The outside air was breezy, unbearably cold and that alarmed me. Enos was soaking wet, and though he probably parked the car not far from the porch, the rain was strong enough to get him soaked.

"Thank God you are alright. What the hell were you thinking earlier? Leaving in a weather such as this one." I made sure to lock the door. Enos was wearing a black coat that barely covered his wrists, but his body well protected from the rest of his clothes. "I was worried sick. It's zero degrees out there. And the storm is getting worse by the hour."

"I'm here now, aren't I?" He responded with a sloppy grin, which I took no regard for I grabbed his face to ease the cold from his skin with my palms. Enos smirked as I maintained contact. "You feel warm love."

I sighed, "You scared me to death, damn you."

He held my hands that were on his face, "Nothing was going to happen to me. I'm sorry for scaring you."

I hugged him tightly, wrapping my arms around his neck and laying my face on his chest. "Next time, please just listen to me."

His hands enveloped my waist. "If it makes you feel better, then sure."

"Yes it does."

I guided him to our bedroom, "I prepared hot tea but first there is a warm bath waiting for you." I helped Enos take off his clothes once we reached inside our private space. I swallowed hard when he was raw before me. Fully naked, unbothered. His body was glowing from the wetness of the rain, his arms, chest, torso, and god forbid I trail my eyes lower, because I'm sure he is also glowing everywhere else. And that grace, that body, that face, he is undeniably breathtaking. My breathing stopped as my eyes stayed glued on his appealing alluring form.

"I better give you the privacy you obviously need." I walked backwards and slowly towards the door. "If you need anything, I'll be in the kitchen."

Enos doubled back, "That's ridiculous, come and join me."

I replied nervously, "I___ I already h-had a shower." I was chewing on my tongue. I can't be in the same room with him right now, I'll lose my senses completely. And I have very little sense left in me.

"Come here." He said to me with a powerful voice, but gentle at the same time. I debated on whether to comply. He reached out his hand for me to take, his eyes smiling at me. He has no idea what position he is putting me in. "And take off your sweater."

I did exactly as he wanted. Knowing fully well that it is cold and I can't be walking with only a shirt, but it was as though he just hypnotized me or something. As soon as I held his hand, Enos pulled my body against his. I turned red crimson, flushing because I could practically feel every inch of his body though I had clothes on.

I was reacting to him.

Enos walked us to the bathroom. The tub was filling up when he asked me to undress. I wasn't sure exactly what was going on. What was this? And why am I losing my mind by the minute? Why is my body betraying itself? I and Enos have never been fully naked together in the same environment. This was the first time seeing him this way. And I keep biting my tongue because this man is, perfect. Now I know why girls would throw themselves at him.

I feel like a prey and this is the lion's den. The only difference is that I want to be caught.

"You're aroused nipples are highly visible through the shirt." The triumph in his voice was evident as he smirked, obviously enjoying himself immensely.

I stared down at my shirt, baffled, bloody hued cheeks, why did I wear such a lacy bra? I felt shy and that was strange since Enos has seen much more than this.

My hands began to move, reluctantly and almost at their own free will.

I slowly took off my shirt, watching him breathing heavily as his eyes helped me undressed. I bent to take off my jeans and then stood infront of him with a lacy set. I was nervous, I admit. Enos wasn't secretive about his needs to have my body, he openly showed them from the way he mapped every inch of it with his preying eyes. I whimpered from the feeling of being observed and studied while in that delicate exposed state.

After a brief moment of just him breathing in my presence, which was automatically making the hair on my neck stand up as he adored my body, he speaks while licking his lips, "I think I've finally reached my limits. I ain't sure whether that's a bad thing or not."

I can feel my pulse hammering in my neck as I bite on my bottom lip. Goodness! I want to kiss him so badly. "May be I want you to surpass those limits."

He retorted, rushing his hand on his wet black curls, "We are playing a dangerous game. And you just had to have that milky skin, those gorgeous curves. I'm on the verge of unleashing that wild side of me."

"And then what?" I grew with anticipation as I pushed his buttons. He walked closer to me and my nerves danced. The adrenaline of the rush was high.

Enos spoke against my ear, "I will turn those images of you screaming my name while shuttering and whimpering beneath me into a reality."

I clenched my fists and closed my eyes. Feeling like I could combust. "Then?"

He wavered, "I don't think you'd appreciate the rest of my thoughts."

"Tell me. I want to hear what's on your mind."

He grazed my lips with his teeth softly. "To make love to you, in every way I know how. Strongly, sweetly, softly, harder than ever until you can't move."

I can't take this.

"What else?" I challenged, the nerves in my spine waved.

His breath fanned my freezing cheeks, "Show you how a real man handles a woman like you." Fuck! The dominance of his voice brought me to my knees.

"Enos." I moaned softly.

"Betty."

"I'm so wet right now." I unintentionally confessed, feeling shy after blunting out what was on my mind.

I really couldn't take it anymore.

"Fuck." He groaned over deep pants. "Shit! Betty, You can't tell me that when its this type of weather. I might execute my plans." He grabbed my hand with a fiercest grasp. I ached into his touch.

"And what are these plans?" I whispered, slowly running my hands over this braid shoulders. He seemed to love that.

"They go against taking things slow."

"Mmmmh." I nod intuitively. "I might be considering that actually."

Enos drew me into his arms with an aching whim, knocking the breathe out of me as I felt our freezing skin connect, slowly lowing us to the ground while he attacked my slightly trembling lips. My back is laid on the cold tiled floor swiftly, in that instant and he hovers above me. His mouth is hot and ready against mine, kissing, and tasting me as our tongues move together. It felt electrifying.

I grip his curls with my fingers delicately and adjust my legs so he settles between them. "You weren't pulling my leg earlier, you are soaking." his hand touches my dripping panties, fingers confidently massaging that spot and I shiver instantly, parting my lips. Enos pulls my tongue into his mouth, sucking me slowly, drawing a moan out of me. I could feel his growing desires as he kissed me deeper.

His hands eventually move over every inch of my chest and then down to my belly. The sides of my body have always been sensitive, and I arch into his body when he teased there.

"You're burning up." The rising heat of his flesh was hard to ignore. How does he warm up so quickly?

"I want you." He said while biting my lip. "I can't hold myself back from you anymore. Please tell me you want this."

I melt on the spot, that area between my legs calling out to be satisfied with him by the mere sound and strength of his words and heavy voice. "Make love to me." I breathed into his mouth.

Enos inhaled deeply upon my request, eyes dilating, arms tightly caging me.

"Make love to me Enos, please."
