Jacqueline brought her suitcase and her belongings to Michael's room with his help. He put all in the bedroom. He put her suitcase near the wardrobe. She hung the dresses in her arm in there. His clothes were hanging nicely on the left, she put hers on the right.

"You can take a shower first if you want. I will have to arrange my clothes first."

Jacqueline told him. Michael nodded easily. He took off his suit jacket and hung it on the wardrobe door then took off his white long-sleeved shirt. Jacqueline turned her side to him. She felt a little uneased as it reminded her of their time together.

"I won't take long." The deep voice said and walked to the bathroom. She glanced a little and saw that he put on the hotel soft bathrobe. He disappeared.

Jacqueline still was not sure if it was a clever decision to stay in the same room as him. But she had no choice. No way she was going to let Sam and Sophia travel to stay at another place. Her baby had just arrived from the long journey. She was a mother, how could she be cruel to her beloved son. She was glad that he would stay in the next room. Just thought of the positive side making her smile and sighed with ease.

Ten minutes later, Michael walked out of the bathroom. Jacqueline had finished arranging her clothes in the wardrobe. She grabbed the super-soft white bathrobe.

"I will take a shower." She told him. He nodded.

"I will be in the living room if you need me."

He said and gave her a nice warm smile. She hurried to walk into the bathroom.

There was his stuff on the counter. She paused to look at them. The flashback came into her mind. The time when she was still living in the big Mackenzie mansion in Boston. There were double basins and they had their own cabinets in the big bathroom.

Jacqueline sighed. She should not think about it too much. It was late. She took off the lovely soft robe and started to take a shower and washed her hair.

Fifteen minutes later, she had finished, grabbed the robe to put on, used the dryer to her hair. And suddenly the electricity went off. She jumped!

"Mike!"

She shouted the first name in mind without thinking.

Michael was sitting on the couch working on his laptop. Suddenly the electricity was cut off. He heard the shocking voice of his wife, causing the tall figure to quickly rise, stumbling upon Summer's belongings close to his feet. He used the flashlight from his phone hurriedly walked into the bedroom and the bathroom. He knocked on the door.

"Queen! I am here. It's okay. Don't panic ... I'm here."

He shouted. Because he knew that she was afraid of the dark. Especially in hotels! Jacqueline did not like staying in hotels. She was afraid of ghosts which Michael did not know where she got this symptom.

She had a bad impression and imaginations about scary stories about the spirits in hotels. Only a few people know this secret of hers.

The bathroom door opened and she leaped into his arms.

"Mike!"

Jacqueline was glad to see him with the light.

"It's okay, darling. I am here."

He cuddled her in his warm arms and caressed her back to soothe her and made her calm down.

"What happened? Why there is no emergency light?"

The panic voice asked.

"The power outage. I don't know what caused it. There are emergency lights outside but not in the room. I will call Stefan and the hotel staff to find out."

Michael replied. He took her to sit on the bed. He sat with her and she was holding his arm all the time.

Mikael could not help to smile in the dark. Regardless of how long the time had passed, for him, she was still the same lady who was strong in many ways but except for the darkness and ghosts.

"Hi, Stefan. Did anybody report to you yet there is the blackout at our hotel? I can see that the other buildings around here are okay. It's just our hotel."

Michael said to Stefan with his serious voice. He was worried about the hotel guests.

"Um, don't say too loud, father. It's only your floor that is cut off."

Stefan said in a whispering tone making Michael think fast. Then he came to realize that his sons were helping him by creating an opportunity for him to be with their mother!

Michael's eyes flashed with a delightfulness to know the kids were on his side. It must have been Wirata who told Stefan about this. And also Sam who tried to make himself look weary more than necessary.

Michael glanced at the lady who was sitting next to him. Her hands grabbed his upper arms tightly.

His heart was feeling so much better right now to know he had a backup team with him!

"Okay, understood." He said back to Stefan. Like father like son. They could read one another so Stefan cut off the line.

"When will it be alright?"

Michael pretended to continue to talk!

"Until morning? Okay."

Jacqueline heard the deep voice talked to Stefan through the phone. She frowned with a surprise to hear that the electricity would be out until the morning.

In America? It could not be all night for sure and at the seven-star hotel like this? And why it was only their hotel?

"Okay." Said Michael and he turned off the line.

"Stefan got the report that it's only our hotel that has the blackout. It must be the internal system somewhere. And it is not every floor. Only a few floors including ours. The electricians are on their way. They will fix the guests' floors first and leave ours to the last as the customers have to come first as usual."

The gentle voice told her the details. Jacqueline nodded to acknowledge. No wonder why those other buildings were bright, as he said must be because the hotel had something wrong with the electrical circuits.

Michael knew how clever his wife was. Therefore he had to add more stories to make her less suspicious or had no doubt at all. And now it seemed she believed in the story he told her.

"Would you like to put on your nightdress before I go out? "

The deep voice asked. Jacqueline shook her head instantly as she already covered herself with the thick duvet. She could sleep in the robe since it was going to be cold as there was no heating.

Michael moved but the soft hands grabbed his arm and not let go.

"Where are you going?" She asked with a panic voice.

"I will open the curtain a little to get the light from outside so that it won't be too dark for you."

He told her. But she did not let him get out of the bed.

"There is no ghost in our hotel, darling. Since we have built it, I haven't heard anybody died in here yet."

He spoke and that causing Jaqueline to fling herself into his arms.

"Shut up! Who told you to say that word."

She scolded at him. Michael smiled in the dark to see she had never changed. Still was so scared only the word GHOST. He put his arms around her and caressed her back gently.

"Which word? Ghost?"

He pretended to not understand. She screamed in her throat and put her face against his arm.

"It's true, darling, definitely no ghosts here. Ghosts don't like a modern hotel. They prefer the old rusty hotels. That's what I've heard."

He said with a hint of laughter in his throat and that making her gave him a heavy tweak on his arm.

"Ouch!" He jerked.

"Don't say it again or I will give you more."

She threatened with a trembling voice and cuddled his waist more tightly.

Mikael smiled in the dark.

"You don't have to be afraid of any ghosts. I will protect you with my life. Ouch! Ouch!"

He winced as she gave him more tweaks. He pushed her to lie down.

"No ghost will be able to hurt you as you have very powerful tweaks like this. Ouch!"

She gave him plenty this time and he wrapped his arms around her.

"Okay, darling. I will go to sleep in the living room to guard you. I won't let any ghosts to come in here, promise."

The warm voice continued to say it and she was pinching and beating him countless times now. He was laughing with fun. Jacqueline made a stern face in the dark. Her heart was pounding, feeling afraid of the dark, the ghosts and the man at the same time!

They were cuddling in the bed in the dark. It was so scary as she could not decide which was the scariest thing at the moment.

Michael kissed her damp hair. He felt sorry for her that it would be cold. He pulled the thick blanket to cover her and made sure she would be warm enough.

"Don't go."

She said in her soft trembling voice. Michael hid his smile.

"Still afraid of ghosts?"

"Stop teasing me, Mike. Sly, as usual, nothing has changed!"

She scolded. Still holding his waist and refused to let go. Michael pressed his chin to her head.

"You can sleep in this room. But on your side near the edge."

The trembling voice told him. She told him to sleep on the other side of the bed but she did not let go of him.

"Okay, darling. I will let you sleep first, then I will move to sleep near the edge of the bed."

He whispered into her ears. His warm embrace made Jacqueline sigh with relief. It was so dark now the phone was off. It was late however and she was tired.

"Okay."

She accepted easily and turned her face to put on his strong chest. He smelled nice as she remembered. He still used the same aftershave she liked him to wear.

Michael felt so good and content to have her in his arms again. For nineteen years, what a waste of time. He blamed himself, only himself.

But from now on there would not be the same. He would fight and do everything to get her back. He sighed and tightened his arms gathered her closer, nuzzled his face on her soft hair. She had already fallen asleep and he could hear her even breathing.

"I love you, darling."

He whispered to her ears.

*****

Stefan was snuggling his warm body to her soft body from behind as it was his favorite position. His face was at her nape. They had just finished the battle for the second round as he wanted to show her his specific talent!

Therefore now both felt so tired and sleepy. Their bodies were naked, spooning together. The big dragon was laying inside her peacefully right now. Stefan kissed on her neck and shoulders.

"Please move out."

Wirata said softy as she was very tired right now and he still did not let her sleep by keeping his weapon inside her.

"I like to be close to my baby."

The man murmured with his lazy tone. The big hand reached to squeeze her breasts and pinched her nipples. Her breasts began to feel stuffy and sore during pregnancy, so he wasn't squeezing hard, just using his fingers to roll them gently, enough to make her feel tickling and sent hot desire through her body.

Wirata felt half asleep and half awake. During this period, the hormonal fluctuations made her feel that the natural needs were higher than the normal level. The rounded hips were then gradually moved back and bounced, attached herself to him more.

Stefan immediately smiled to know that she felt hot again. The strong body began to move. He thrust in deeper. The big dragon was awake again.

He sent one hand to fondle the center between her slender legs. Her rose petals bloomed with soaking wet.

"Oh, God. Wine, you are so hot. I love it. Oh, baby, squeezing me like this I can't hold too long."

He whispered into her ears. Wirata felt the heat that shot through her body from the inner cells to the outer skin.

The hard and big shaft moved in and out rapidly.

"Oh ... My God ... Yeah ... Raise your leg up a little bit more, darling. Oh ... Yes, just like that."

He suggested with his low shaky voice. She was familiar with this position. So she quickly lifted her leg upward to open the way for him to had more access.

"Aoww..."

She moaned softly in her throat as he was accelerating the rhythms faster and faster.

"Um,... This time, it's the final round for tonight, okay? I am very sleepy ... Ah...oohhhh."

She spoke and moaned loudly when he kept speeding up and the big hand reached to stroke her center to help her to climb up to heaven.

"Who started it first this time? Huh ... Oooh ..."

He groaned with pleasure when he felt her soft muscles squeezed him so tight and she cried out with pleasure as he sent her to the heaven garden at three o'clock in the morning. He followed her right that second filled her up with his love unreservedly.

"Oh my God. Wine. You killed me. I am completely dead now."

The dead man blamed her. He nestled his face on the crook of her neck, as usual, did not care to pull out his dragon. Wirata was so exhausted. She closed her eyes and gave up on telling him.

"Let's go shopping tomorrow. Buy things for our baby. "

He muffled with a drowsy voice.

"We have to wait until we know the gender first. When we know if it's a boy or a girl then we can shop."

"No, I can't wait. Let's do it tomorrow. We can buy for both a boy and a girl. I have the money. I can even buy the whole shop."

The stubborn and impatient man with money said. Wirata sighed. He looked and crossed on the calendar every day to count what date he might be able to ultrasound her belly. Even the doctor already gave the appointment but Stefan still hoped he could get in before the doctor by checking with his own timetable!

And no! He did not want her to do the blood test to find out about the baby's gender because he wanted to see his baby from the monitor with his own eyes. He believed it would be more excited this way.

"So, up to the boss then. Nobody can stop you anyway, um, goodnight, the most stubborn man on earth. "

She said in her sleepy voice. Stefan kissed her hair and smiled pleasingly.

"Goodnight, the most stubborn woman in the world. l love you, babies."

The voice said and she was not paying attention anymore which babies he was talking about. She sighed happily with a smile on her face and fell asleep in a minute later.

Stefan cuddled her in his arms. His handsome face lighted up with happiness. He put his face on her hair and fell asleep peacefully.
