After Divorce, Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant-Chapter 161 The Kind Of Life She Didn’t Want To Lose.

Chapter 161: Chapter 161 The Kind Of Life She Didn’t Want To Lose.

Leonica found the drive towards Owen’s penthouse to be filled with a sense of anticipation even she didn’t know she possessed.

Having called Grace and informed her of the possibility of she staying out late, or perhaps the entire night, Leonica was assured that Ashley would be safe.

The silence between her and Owen however, was something she wasn’t used to. It was tense, but not in a bad way, it was filled with expectation and the tension that comes with the realization that one has something, someone to look forward to.

Owen’s penthouse was in a luxurious apartment, a thirty minute drive from where the venue for the inauguration party was situated, and as they walked into his suite, the smell of fresh air and vanilla greeted them.

Although it wasn’t he first time visiting, Leonica couldn’t help but inhale the sweet scent, releasing a sigh of contentment, which made Owen chuckle.

"I’m happy you like the smell," He said and then placed his keys on the rack before retrieving his jacket from Leonica and placing it over the sofa. "Would you like some wine, or water to cool off?"

"A glass of wine would be lovely, thank you." She responded, kicking her heels off before making her way to the kitchen, following Owen.

"Red or white?" He asked as he retrieved two wine glasses from the rack, one of which he handed to Leonica, while the other, he placed on the counter.

“Red.” She said as she leaned against the counter, watching as he opened the fridge and pulled out a bottle of wine.

He poured a generous amount into her glass and a smaller amount into his, placing the bottle down once he was done.

Leonica didn’t wait a second, picking the glass up and sipping the drink.

It was rich and a bit tangy, but not too strong and the aftertaste was sweet.

“I have to admit, this is quite tasty.” She commented.

Owen nodded. “Indeed. It’s a special one, only made from a small winery in Italy.”

Italy, Leonica thought as she took yet another sip from her glass, his mother’s birthplace.

“Italy huh?” She commented as she bit her lower lip, watching as Owen drank the last of his wine before he became undoing the first few buttons of his shirt.

“Yeah.” He said, and was soon behind her, gently massaging her shoulders while he leaned closer to her ear. “I’m gonna run a bath, wanna join me?”

Leonica couldn’t help but shudder and bite back a moan. The way his warm breath tickled her neck made her body tremble, and the idea of taking a bath, with him, in a Jacuzzi, was one she didn’t mind entertaining.

“Sure,” She whispered and was suddenly hoisted up in his arms, bridal style, causing her to release a yelp. “Owen!”

He flashed her a cocky like smile. “The tub’s a bit far from here, so I figured this was a better way of getting you there.”

Leonica couldn’t help but burst out laughing at his reasoning, but still, allowed him to carry her to his bathroom, which was spacious and clean, but the first thing that caught her attention was the bathtub.

It was a white tub, with blue, gold and red tiles surrounding the base, a tub which had a water Jacuzzi, a perfect place for her and Owen to relax in.

“Let’s get you undressed,” He whispered as he gently sat her down on the cold counter.

“Okay.” She said, her cheeks flushed as she watched him slowly undress her, leaving her with her bra and panties on.

He kissed her lips, and then her neck, moving lower until he reached her collarbone, and then he was unclasping her bra and taking it off.

Then he took a second to step back and admire her body, his gaze filled with admiration and desire.

Leonica couldn’t help but blush under his gaze.

It wasn’t the first time she was getting intimate with a man, yet she felt like the experience was very new to her.

“You’re beautiful,” He said and was quickly back in between her legs, his hands cupping her breasts, massaging them, pinching her nipples and teasing her.

It took every bit of her willpower to hold her moans back, but that didn’t deter Owen who continued teasing her, and only stopped when she was about to explode.

“You’re holding back your moans, aren’t you?” He asked in a teasing tone, tilting his head to the side as he watched her reaction.

Oh how he loved her reactions.

“I’m not-“ But the words died in her throat the moment Owen leaned down and took her right nipple into his mouth, sucking on it gently while his hands moved to her panties, pulling them off and tossing them to the side.

He teased her, using his tongue, his fingers, until she was a moaning mess.

“Owen...” She moaned, her fingers grasping at the long strands of his hair. “Stop teasing.”

Owen chuckled, his hot breath fanning against her stomach and sending shivers down her spine.

“But you’re enjoying it.” He said and then stood, pressing a quick kiss to her lips. “I’m going to get the water running, wait for me here, will you?”

Leonica nodded, her eyes shut tightly and her mind reeling.

She had expected him to continue what he had been doing, but apparently, Owen was a master of teasing and far more experience than she had presumed.

As she heard the sound of water rushing from the faucet, she opened her eyes, her gaze landing on his exposed back.

Her cheeks instantly became red as she realized he was taking his pants off and just when he was about to pull his boxers off, she quickly averted her gaze, not wanting to be caught.

“The tub’s ready, shall we get in?” Owen’s voice brought her back to reality, and as she turned her gaze back to him, she was met with his handsome and naked figure, which of course, had her staring.

“Like what you see?” He teased, a smirk playing on his lips as he helped her off the counter.

“Shut up.” Leonica replied, her face flushed red.

He chuckled and guided her to the tub, helping her get in and settling himself beside her.

As they both relaxed and enjoyed the feel of the warm water against their skin, Owen reached forward, taking Leonica’s hand in his and kissing it, which brought her attention back to him.

“So,” He began, and then pulled her towards him until she was straddling him, his hands coming up to cup her breasts again. “Shall we continue from where we left off?”

~•~

Morning came, and as Leonica groggily opened her eyes, she realized that she was in an unfamiliar bed.

But then the memories from the night before came flooding back, and a smile immediately graced her lips.

Owen, who had his arm warped around her, shifted in his sleep, pulling her closer to his bare chest, a movement that caused Leonica to release a sigh of contentment, and relax in his embrace.

The sound of birds chirping, and the feeling of the morning sun rays hitting her skin and Owen laying behind her had her realizing that this was the kind of life she wanted to be waking up to.

This was the kind of life she didn’t want to ever let go of, no matter what.

Turning around, she faced Owen, a small smile on her face as she took in his peaceful sleeping form.

“Good morning.” She whispered and gently ran her hand through his hair.

He stirred, his eyelids fluttering a bit before he opened his eyes and glanced down at her.

Beautiful, she thought while staring into his Hazel gold eyes that shined in the reflection of the sun.

It was a sight she could definitely get used to.

“Good morning.” He said and leaned down, pressing a kiss to her forehead. “Sleep well?”

Leonica nodded, her smile widening as she stared into his eyes.

“Yes, and you?”

“Same. It’s rare for me to wake up feeling rested.” He said, a yawn escaping his lips. “It’s almost as if I’m a different person. It must be the power of having your fiancée right next to you.”

Leonica laughed, and then stretched her arms, a yawn escaping her lips as she settled back down into his arms.

“You’re such a cheesy man.” She said, her voice muffled by the pillow.

“And yet, you’re the one who’s wearing my engagement ring.”

“Because I like the cheesy you.”

“That’s good to know.” Owen said as he kissed her head, her nose, her cheek, then her lips before getting up and heading for the bathroom. “Wanna join me?”

“No thanks,” She replied as she rolled around and snuggled back into the covers. “I’m a bit sore.”

Owen chuckled. “That’s my fault.”

“It is, and I don’t mind it.” She replied just as he stepped into the bathroom and shut the door.

A few seconds of silence went by before she heard her phone rumblings beside her on the night stand. She reached for it and briefly glanced at the caller, her brows dipping in confusion when saw it was from that one Journalist, Florence.

Nevertheless, she answered it.

“Yeah Hello?”

“Hello, Ms. Romero, I apologize for calling so early in the morning,”

Leonica paused, firstly glancing at the clock to see that despite the sun, it was indeed still very early. As early as 7:30. But time aside, when the fuck did she tell this cocky journalist her name!

“That’s quite alright.” She commented, a frown on her face as she sat up in bed, her mind already running. “What is it you want?”

“An interview. I saw your announcement yesterday, coupled with the little juicy story you had given me a few days back, I’m sure I’ll be able to gain more attention than releasing that story alone. Don’t you think so, Nica?”

Leonica closed her eyes and sighed. Of course she couldn’t get one moment of silence.

“An interview, is that all?”

“Yes.”

“Fine. I’ll give you an interview. Tomorrow, Romero Empire, 12:00 pm, don’t be a minute later, else you’d have blown your chance.”

Florence chuckled. “Not a minute later, you’ve gotta be joking.”

Leonica mimicked the sound, except hers had a clear meaning behind it as she said. “No, I’m not.”
