Brione sighed while in the car taking her home to her penthouse. She doubted that she would be able to do the kissing scenes given how possessive Cedric was. Berry was betting with Mitch that any kissing or intimate scenes on her script would be removed eventually once The Prince got to hear of them.

She arrived at her penthouse soon thereafter and walked straight to her bedroom to clean up, prepare for bed and call Cedric.

When she was settled on her bed, she grabbed her mobile phone and video called Cedric who answered immediately.

"I'm home, back in my room now," Brione whispered with a smile.

She creased her forehead noticing it was dark and she could barely see Cedric.

"You're still out?" she asked.

"Yes, I'm inside the car. Sleep tight, Sweetheart. You should get some rest now. I will see you soon." Cedric smiled and soon ended the call.

Brione pouted her lips. She wanted to talk a little more but Cedric was probably not alone in the car so he ended the call quickly. As expected, she received a sweet message from him instead, a message that made her stomach churn.

"I miss you and I love you, Bri… Sleep tight.]

She typed a reply.

[Goodnight… I miss you too… and I love you too…]

She was about to click the send button but halted and deleted the words, I love you too, before clicking the send button.

She bit her lower lip and sighed. This guilty feeling surged inside her whenever she tried to say I love you to Cedric and she wound up not saying it even though she wanted to do so a lot.

That guilty feeling… towards Gavin… She wondered how long it would continue to consume her. She lay her body on the bed and closed her eyes, hoping Gavin could visit her in her dreams and give her a hint or something. A hint whether he was happy with how things were turning out for her now.

She stood up and grabbed some wine from the bar to help her sleep as she was starting to think too much again and it was making her head spin. She drank till she felt the kick of the alcohol in her system and soon she fell into a deep slumber. She tried to move and woke up when she felt a heavy weight on her waist. Someone was hugging her tightly.

Brione jerked away and quickly opened her eyes, only to see the familiar handsome face of a man she loved. She smiled and whispered, "You're here? Am I dreaming? How come you're here with me?"

"Sleep a little longer, sweetheart. I missed you," she heard him whisper as he pulled her closer to his chest.

But Brione leaned forward and gave him the rousing kiss he longed for. He tasted the wine on her lips and knew she was drunk. He had seen the bottle of wine on her table. Her taste was intoxicating and a hunger for more took over as he plunged his tongue deeper inside her mouth, searching and demanding.

She was so soft all over her body and her scent was driving him mad. Cedric's hands moved all over her, touching every part of her body and making her moan and hum in pleasure. He kissed and sucked her breast through her thin nightgown. She was wearing nothing beneath her nightgown except for her panty and her nakedness was driving him nuts.

He wanted to taste her again so he crawled further down and pulled Brione's nightgown up and removed her panty. He spread her legs and laid butterfly kisses on the sides of her thighs, making her move her head relentlessly followed by a low moan.

Brione did not know whether she was dreaming or not but everything felt wonderful. Cedric's lips on her skin and on her sex were making her wither with great exultation.

She moaned hard when she felt his lips, doing wonders to her flowers, his tongue moved to torture her and at the same time bring her to paradise. She grabbed his hair while her hips moved unconsciously to meet each thrust of his tongue inside her core which he followed by sucking and nibbling her bud.

Brione was panting hard as the intense pleasure built in her body and after one deep thrust her body convulsed, as she reached her orgasm. She was still in euphoria as she felt him licking and lapping her down as if her flower was an ice cream and he did not want any drop to go anywhere but into his mouth.

"You taste so sweet, sweetheart," Cedic whispered as he crawled back up and kissed her. She guided her hand inside his shorts. He was very close to his own ejaculation and when they kissed and her hands tugged his length he was grateful that Brione knew what to do. A few more strokes from her and he soon reached his climax while kissing her.

Brione buried her face in his chest as soon as he let go of her lips and whispered, "I love you."

"Sweetheart?!" Cedric murmured but there was no response, only Brione's deep and even breathing, indicating she was fast asleep.

Cedric sighed deeply and kissed her hair as he whispered, "Was that for me, Bri? Were you saying I love you to me in your dreams or were you thinking about Gavin appearing in your dreams?"

He was feeling nervous, worried, and excited as he wondered to whom Brione had addressed her 'I love you' to.

When Brione called, he had been in his car going to the airport to fly over to Brione's country because he was sure he would go crazy with missing her. He asked Berry and Mitch for help so he could enter Brione's penthouse and surprise Brione. But then as he had expected, he arrived so late that Brione was in her deep sleep. She sleepily opened her eyes and gave him her sweetest smile before saying the words he longed to hear, 'I love you'.

However, Brione was not conscious and looked like she was in a dream as she said those words.

"It doesn't matter, sweetheart, because I can feel it through your actions. I know you are falling in love with me already and you letting me stay in your life is more than enough, Bri. I love you," Cedric whispered before he got up to clean himself and her with a wet towel then joined Brione in sleep.
