I get my discharge papers from the hospital after 3 days. I feel much better now as I walk towards Max's car with Nicole by my side. Max earlier suggested giving us a ride back home and also informed me that I would get my Porsche ready by evening today. To be honest, I was devastated to see the ugly dent over my car more than any other damage that had occurred to my own body. Now I couldn't seem to gather my happiness when I think about getting it back in its original shape. I can't wait to have my baby back.

It truly is a miracle that I didn't get any serious brain damage from that accident or else right now I would have been in the same place where I had been three years ago, or even worse.

But that didn't just let me live with peace. I discovered later that something strange has started to happen with me since Tuesday night. I have been getting weird visuals in my dreams since the night of the accident. And what is absolutely strange about it is that I see an unknown face in them now. I remember that all these times when I got nightmares I could only see myself in them but this has been the first time when I saw a different face in it. A face that I have never seen before yet seems so oddly familiar to me- A face of a man.

I don't know why, but it feels like he is someone who has been close to me because I could see him along with me in those subconscious visuals. I have tried hard to remember him for the past 3 days but I couldn't do it. Maybe he is someone from my past, maybe I have known him before the accident that I had in Cantabria? Maybe he had been a witness to what happened with me that day? Maybe he knows the truth? Though I know I didn't hit my head hard that night after losing control over the car, but for a minute I wonder if I am getting some hope of regaining my memory.

I know it would be just a matter of time until I went to Richard and demanded him the answers. I have been so close to getting to know the truth about my past. The truth of my life. I have come so close to discover what exactly happened in Cantabria and it's known to me that no one other than Richard would be able to hold answers for my unresolved questions.

I have been so close yet so far. Everything that has happened in the last few weeks just messed my mind. As much as I try to remind myself that I could confront Richard right now, but I know I can't. My mind is not in the right place at this moment. It's not ready to fight against Richard. So I need a break to get things together. I need to sort my mind. I don't know if I could handle the truth that I am going to learn, and I am afraid to face it. I need some time to think. I need some time with me. I need some time with Nicole, and right now, she is my priority. She is my safe place.

I wonder how quickly the time flew after I met Nicole when I realize it's already December. I have never been enthusiastic about acknowledging Christmas before. It was never a thing for me, nor did I feel the need to celebrate something knowing the fact that how dull my life was. But now after having Nicole in my life, everything has changed and I am really starting to look forward to celebrating it with her.

In these three days, Nicole never once failed to stop by the hospital to see me. I am so happy that we are back together and I hope we'll stick together now. She told me in the morning that she wanted to go back to her house to get her stuff, but I insisted her to first come with me because I want to spend some time alone with her.

I haven't seen Sophia since that terrible day and I am glad that she isn't trying to contact me. I guess she learned her lesson after getting humiliated and thrown out of the house.

It didn't occur to me that we reach home until Max's car booms off the road. Wait? Why did he leave without a goodbye or I just didn't notice him? I shake my head and turn to see Nicole walking into the house. I follow her quickly as we get inside the house. Pushing all the unwanted thoughts aside, I reach for Nicole's hand before she goes in and I pin her against the wall. She watches me as I trail my fingers over her arms, looking into her eyes. I then slowly lean forward and bury my face in the crook of her neck to kiss her. Her breathing quickens as I move my lips up to her ear.

"I was dying to have this moment since you showed up at the hospital..." I whisper and pull back to look into her eyes.

She stares at me for a minute and looks down hesitantly. She then slowly gets on her tiptoes to give a quick peck on my lips without meeting my gaze. I frown when she tries to walk past me after that. Not letting her walk away, I grab her arm and pull her back to me as I lean on the arm of the couch this time.

"Where do you think you are going, Cole? That wasn't enough for me." I say to her. She looks at me slowly, and I see the discomfort in her eyes. She just looked fine back at the hospital then what happened now? I could sense the change in her behavior now when we are alone. I don't know what it is, but she seems to act differently. Then something struck me when I realize what she saw last time when she was here.

"You really thought that I slept with Sophia?" I look at her and ask.

She doesn't say anything, but her face hardens. "Don't take her name..." She seethes in a low voice after a moment.

I stare at her in confusion and then suddenly realize what is wrong with her. I always assumed that I was the only jealous one here between the two of us, but looks like it's not true. I grin looking at her. Nicole being jealous is a rare scenario to witness, so I will not let go of any chance of having fun with it.

"What? Who? You mean Sophia?" I tease her.

"Don't fucking take her name.." She snaps her blue eyes at me and huffs angrily.

I smile, enjoying this way too much. When she doesn't look at me, I put my thumb under her chin and make her look at me. I scan her face with an amused grin as she gazes back at me in confusion.

"It looks good on you." I smile and say, looking into her eyes. "All hot and feisty...huh?"

"What?" She narrows her eyes at me.

"I said jealousy looks good on you."

"I am not jealous." She crosses her arms and looks away.

"Oh trust me, I can see it on your face." I place my hands on her hips and lean in to whisper in her ear. "And you are failing miserably in hiding it, babe."

"Stop it, Christopher..." She looks all flushed as she pulls away from me. "You are just exaggerating." She tries to defend, looking a little baffled.

"Okay. So you wouldn't mind if I right away go and thank Sophia for what she did?" I look at her in amusement as she glares at me. "You know, from your expression right now, I might consider it as a good idea to do." I chuckle.

As I am still laughing, Nicole places her hands on my chest and pushes me. I stumble a bit and fall onto the couch.

"Come on, Nicole. There is no shame in admitting what you feel.." Propping on my elbows, I smirk at her still lying on the couch.

Her face looks strained as if she is trying hard to fight against herself to not admit it. She finally shakes her head and looks back at me. "I can't believe I am doing this.." I hear her mutter under her breath before she unexpectedly climbs on top of me. Wow! That came without a warning. I am simply surprised when she sits on me, straddling my hips. Not that I am complaining. I actually like it now. She sighs and then looks into my eyes.

"Yes, I am fucking jealous...and if you take her name one more time...I am gonna strangle you with my bare hands." She warns me. Fuck! She looks so sexy!

I stare at her and smirk again. "I don't know why, but that line just turned me on..." Okay, I am not joking. She is indeed turning me on.

She shakes her head, laughing, and when she looks at me again her eyes seem darker. "You wanted me to admit it, right?... I did it." Her voice is now low and sensual. She then leans forward so that her lips are almost touching mine. My throat gets dry as I stare into her bright blue eyes. "And I am just gonna show you what this jealousy can make me do..." She says seductively as I gaze at her, unable to tear my eyes from her beautiful face. She then slowly pulls the jacket away from my body and starts unbuttoning my shirt without leaving my gaze. I can feel myself getting aroused simply by her intense stare.

Am I dreaming? I have never seen her be this confident to initiate something as she looks right now. But at this moment, watching her on top of me, taking over the charge, seems surely like living my ultimate fantasy. This jealousy has really brought out a new side of her, and I fucking love it so much. I watch her as I arch my back to let her pull off my shirt.

She then moves back slowly, still looking at me, and gathers her hair to let them loose on one side of her shoulder. Fuck! I guess this really is a dream. I gawk at her as she proceeds. She removes her blouse sexily and unclasps her bra, freeing her full breasts. My breath hitches, and I feel a strain in my pants as she leans to kiss my neck. Her breasts press against my chest and I breathe heavily as she starts trailing wet kisses down my neck. When she pulls back to look at me, my fingers get tempted to touch her breasts. She is the sexiest woman that I have ever seen in my life. Before I can lead my hand towards her nipple, she catches it.

"Keep your hands to yourself." She orders authoritatively, and I pout in disappointment. Fuck! Now she is being bossy too. I swear she is going to kill me with this torture.

She then grabs my hands, wrapping her fingers around them, and tries to put them above my head. While she leans to do that, her breasts bounce in front of my face, and I don't miss the opportunity to catch her right nipple in between my teeth.

She moans when I bite it softly. "Christopher behave!"

"You said to keep my hands to myself, but you didn't exactly give any instructions to my mouth," I say innocently. "I apologize on behalf of it." I grin playfully, looking at her.

"You are unbelievable." Nicole smiles, shaking her head.

"I know I am," I suggest smugly, and she laughs. After a moment, when she looks back at me, I see nothing but the pure desire that I have for her reflecting in her eyes. She presses her lips against mine and I don't waste any time as I kiss her back, wrapping my arms around her. She moans softly when I taste her with my tongue.

It's been so long that we haven't been together and the desperation is evident in the way we are kissing right now. It feels like our bodies are yearning to consume each other. To let out the suffering of all these days when we were apart. After we pull back, Nicole reaches hurriedly to pull off my jeans along with my boxers. I admire her swollen lips as she does that, but suddenly I remember something and I instantly stop her by reaching for her arm.

She frowns, looking at my hand. "Nicole, we might need to get to my room... I don't have a condom." I tell her, looking down in embarrassment. Christopher, seriously? Way to ruin the mood.

She looks at me for a minute and then grins. "Don't worry, I am on the pill." She pats my cheek sweetly and says.

I look at her, not believing my ears. "Thanks fuck! That would have been the most appealing words that you would have ever said to me." I chuckle.

She rolls her eyes and says. "I bet they were."

Before she can go on, I catch her arm again. "Nicole, are you sure? I mean, do you want this?" I ask her with serious concern. I don't want her to do something just to please me. If she is deciding to be on a pill, then I want her to be sure about her decision.

She stares into my eyes for some time and then kisses me. "Yes Christopher, I want this..." She agrees with a smile, and I let out a breath that I didn't even know I was holding.

She then swiftly pulls her jeans down with her panties. I watch her as she looks tense now. I know she is nervous because she hasn't done this before. So I place my hands on her hips and hold her tightly, letting her know that it's going to be okay. She nods at me. And then, taking a deep breath, she comes down on me. I hold my breath and remain still for a minute as she adjusts herself. Then she begins to grind her hips slowly. We both moan together as she moves on top of me. I grip her ass to keep her closer. Fuck! It feels like heaven to have her skin to skin. And I wonder how I had been living without doing this before.

She places her palms flat on my abs as she increases her pace, encouraging me to thrust deeper. I look at her, breathing heavily as she moans and throws her head back, pulling her lip between her teeth as she grinds her hip. It just makes me even hard to see her all aroused and bothered. Her brown hair is loose around her shoulders and her breasts bounce deliciously as she rides me. Fuck! This is such a beautiful sight to watch. I wish I could admire her like this all fucking day. She grips my shoulder when her movement grows frantic. And I lean forward, not being able to control myself and bury my face between her breasts, kissing her. I squeeze her ass and kiss her hard, wanting to make this last longer. We both gasp and let out a loud moan as we reach our climax together. Nicole pants heavily, claiming me entirely before she collapses on top of me.

We stay like that for some time, just hearing our ragged breathing. After a moment, I pull Nicole's hair away from her back and kiss her shoulder.

"If this is how I am going to get punished whenever you catch another woman in my room...then I might consider doing that again and again." I smile playfully and tell her.

As soon as I say that, Nicole tilts her head and glares at me. "I swear..." Before she could go on with what she is saying, I capture her lips into a passionate kiss. She gives in and kisses me back instantly. I thrust my tongue into her mouth possessively, and she let it in. She weaves her fingers into my hair and pulls me closer as we make out on the couch.

When we pull back, I stare into her eyes. "You have nothing to worry about, Cole." I run my thumb over her swollen red lips and say. "You are the only woman who holds the power to ride my dreams." I grin, making her blush.

I let go of her lips as I trail my fingers on her chest and then go down. Her body tenses again when I feel her curves with my fingers. She breathes slowly and looks at me as my hand reaches between her bare legs. A soft moan escapes her lips when I lead my fingers into her. Fuck! I feel like I can never get enough of her. She squirms as I start moving my fingers inside her, touching and teasing her.

"Oh, my god!" She screams as I increase my speed. Her face looks all bothered as she tries to press her legs together. She seems breathless as she leans forward to press her lips to mine. I smile when I find her grinding her hips on me with my fingers thrusting in and out of her. I kiss her hard, feeling extremely honored to know that I am the only man who gets to please her like this. I'll make sure for the rest of my life that no other man would ever get to see her like this.

"Oh, Chris...." She moans against my lips. She never calls me Chris, except for when she is moaning. It feels like she specially reserved that name for the time when we have sex and I fucking love to hear it from her.

"Yes, baby?" I ask her.

She closes her eyes and sucks on my lips softly. "It...It feels so good..." She breathes. "Just don't stop..."

"Wasn't planning to..." I grin and assure her. But then something comes to my head and I smirk, pulling my finger out of her before she reaches her orgasm. Opsss, I didn't intend to piss her.

Nicole looks frustrated as she whines, furrowing her eyebrows. "Why did you stop?"

I smile sheepishly and move my lips to her ear as I whisper. "Don't cum here. I want you in my bed." Saying so I pull her legs behind my back and walk towards the stairs, having her wrapped around my torso.

I kiss her again as she pouts at me. "Ready for round two?" I ask her curiously, looking into her eyes.

She grins and her soft lips feel perfect against mine as she kisses me. She then buries her face in the crook of my neck and murmurs. "Always."
