Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 586

Chapter 586
The soft touch of her lips was fleeting against his. It was here one moment and gone the next.
“Is that okay?”
Tessa smiled at Nicholas.
Staring at the happy woman before him, Nicholas gulped.
“Only this will do.”
Just as he said that, he raised his hands to press her head toward his as he violently captured her
lips.
She was stunned for a moment before her arms were wrapped tightly around his neck in a passionate response to his kiss.
The couple was reluctant to end the kiss, as if they wanted to release all of their repressed desires through it.
The temperature in the room slowly rose.
Soon, she was drowning in his warmth.
It was a long while before their sweet battle was finally over.
With glazed eyes and pink-stained cheeks, Tessa lay in Nicholas’ arms.
Suddenly reminded of something, she looked up at him and asked, “How long can you and Greg stay this time?”
“We’ll be here for about a week,” he replied as he played with her hair.
One week wasn’t long, but it wasn’t short. Still, she was satisfied with what time she had.
She wrapped her arms around his muscular waist as she rubbed her cheek against his chest like a kitten. There was a happy little tilt on the corners of her lips as she savored their rare time alone.

Looking down at the languid form in his embrace, Nicholas’ heart melted.
“How did you find your first day with Group Two?” he asked.
“How did I find it?” she repeated as she thought about her answer. Then, she smiled and replied, “I think it’s not bad. Everything has basically been set up. I just need to work hard, and I’ll have plenty of chances to perform.”
Hearing that, he nodded in response.
However, as if a switch had been flipped in her, she continued to ramble on. “Did I tell you: 1 now have a reputation in the industry. Miss Hathaway said I could actually be famous if things continue as they are.”
The happy look on her face made him proudly nod and praise her. “You, my fiancée, are so talented!”
“Tee-hee! I think I’m great too!”
For once, she didn’t act humble and wave the praise away. Instead, she proudly tilted her chin up.
The sight made him chuckle. She was so cute like this.
The two chatted for a while longer before she conveyed the wish to clean herself up.
With an assenting nod, Nicholas let her out of his arms.
As he leaned against the headboard, the smile on his face vanished, and his eyes clouded over.
He had only planned to stay for three days.
However, with what Hayley did, he couldn’t just ignore her. Evidently, three days weren’t enough to resolve this situation.
Hayley was currently a bane in his life. He had to get rid of her-it was the only way he could stop worrying
When Tessa eventually stepped out of the bathroom, he swiftly suppressed his bad mood.
Then, with her in his arms, he drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, Tessa joined Gregory and Nicholas for breakfast.
“Miss Tessa, can you not go to work today and stay home with me?” Gregory abruptly asked with hope shimmering in his eyes.
“I… I’m sorry. I can’t,” she apologetically replied.
While it was rare for Gregory and Nicholas to visit her, she couldn’t actually slack off.
After all, she had just started her job as the concertmaster of Group Two. Everyone was watching her.
Although Gregory was disappointed, he was mature enough to not throw a tantrum.
Nicholas said nothing throughout the conversation.
Once breakfast was over, he drove Tessa to the orchestra.
Gregory insisted on going along.
Frankly speaking, he wanted to spend every waking moment stuck to Tessa’s side. However, she had work to do, so the only thing he could do was seize every chance he could get to be by her side.
At the gates of the orchestra, ‘Tessa bade Gregory and Nicholas farewell before getting out of the car with her violin in hand,
“Daddy, can we stay a few more days with Miss Tessa?” Gregory sadly asked with his head on his palms as he watched Tessa disappear from his sight.
Nicholas responded with a grunt and drove off,
He didn’t tell his son anything about staying longer though.
