Chapter 172
As instructed by Marco, Pedro truly took care of Marco's departure to meet the irresponsible investors in his collaborative project. Only a few investors remained, and Marco promised to regain their trust and teach them a lesson. "Are you leaving tonight?" Letta asked, seeing Marco just finished a phone call. Marco turned around to look at Letta, who had been quieter since earlier. Marco also understood his wife's feelings. Even though Letta gave him permission, Marco knew that Letta must feel sad to see him go.
"Pedro has arranged everything, so I need to finish it quickly so I can come back and be with you again," Marco said, gently stroking the top of his wife's head and giving her a warm kiss on the forehead.
"When you arrive at your destination, don't forget to pay attention to your body. Look, these bandages are still perfectly attached to you. Don't forget to eat well and take your vitamins. Don't drink too much alcohol, and don't work all night. At least, you need to sleep. You don't need to rush to solve all the problems because there will always be a way out if you are sincere," Letta said, sounding very concerned in every word she uttered, making Marco feel a bit heavy leaving his wife.
"Yes, I'll do what my wife says. And you, don't worry too much about me, as I'll be working fine there. I've arranged the guards to watch over you here, and I've also told Pedro to stay here," Marco said, making Letta shake her head because Letta knew Pedro was someone Marco could rely on. If Pedro is here, who will help him in another country, Letta thought.
"You don't need to tell Pedro to stay here. He'll be more needed if he's with you. If he's here, he'll just stay quiet and watch my movements. After all, I'll mostly be in the room, right? It's better if he helps you. You'll surely need a lot of assistance," Letta said, making Marco shake his head.
"Your condition is more important to me. Your presence worries me more. So, I want to instruct my trusted person to protect what's most precious to me. I can handle my problems there on my own," Marco said.
"But I won't be at ease. I surely won't be able to sleep even for a moment if I think of you. There's no one to help there. Just your departure alone feels heavy for me, let alone leaving Pedro here," Letta said again, making Marco cup the tiny face of his wife.
"I'm fine," Marco said, causing Letta to shake her head.
"I'm the one not fine. Please, take him with you. You just need to assign more guards. I promise not to do anything strange. I'll just stay in the room, maybe move around the room. I won't leave the house," Letta said, trying to convince Marco. "I know you won't do anything to make me worry. But still," Marco said, getting a kiss from Letta when she didn't want to listen to her husband's reasons, slowly before unraveling it.
"I beg you, take Pedro. He'll be more needed with you," Letta said again, making Marco finally exhale deeply.
"Fine," Marco said, and then Marco caressed Letta's face and began to bring his face closer.
"I will surely miss you," Marco said, and Letta nodded. They lent their eyes feeling Marco's lips perfectly attached to hers. Moving slowly as if savoring everything they were doing now. Before Marco's departure to handle all his problems, Letta could feel Marco starting to lift her waist and cradle her, then seating her right on the nightstand without releasing the connection of their lips. Letta could feel Marco's heavy breath, and she seemed to be lured into gripping his shoulders until Marco finally unraveled their kiss when he felt Letta was having a bit of difficulty catching her breath. Marco could see his wife's tiny lips that looked glossy.
"It's so hard to leave you alone here, but there's no other choice for me," Marco said again, making Letta haven't had a chance to answer when Marco immediately pressed his lower lip against hers, biting it slowly. Letta didn't resist and reached out, hugging and pulling her husband closer.
"I'll be fine here, so go in peace and don't think too much about unnecessary things," Letta said again when Marco started to trace her face, then down to the nape of her neck.
"You are the most important to me. Don't underestimate your presence," Marco whispered right next to Letta's ear, making Letta feel the warmth of her husband's body. Marco's soft utterance sent shivers through Letta's entire body. Not only that, Letta felt Marco starting to pull the dress she was wearing, his strong hands gently caressing her slender legs, moving up until Marco truly pulled the edge of the dress she was wearing, slipping it away from her petite body.
"In that case, calm me down first before I truly go to handle everything," Marco whispered when Letta could only nod, embracing her husband's body. Marco began to peel off each piece of cloth covering his body. Marco cupped both sides of Letta's perfectly rounded sensitive areas while she was still sitting on the nightstand, making Letta only pull her husband closer, pressing their lips together with utmost tenderness. Before Marco unraveled their kiss, now shifting to Letta's sensitive areas, playing with them, tasting them very slowly, making Letta feel the warmth spreading throughout her innocent body. Until finally, Letta couldn't hold back her moans anymore. Letta then pulled Marco's nape as he enjoyed his wife.
"Yes, I will calm you down, maybe before you solve all the problems," Letta said, then embraced Marco when he lifted her body and gently laid her on the bed. Marco then linked his lips again while taking off each piece of clothing he was wearing. After that, Marco slipped off the clothes, revealing his muscles still wrapped in bandages perfectly.
"Are you okay with these wounds?" Letta asked, making Marco pause.
"Yes, okay, I don't feel any pain anymore," Marco said, and Letta finally nodded. Letta was just a little worried if Marco was still uncomfortable with his body when they might engage in something that requires a bit of effort. "So, just release whatever you feel right now. You don't need to hold it back because it won't cause anything to my body," Marco said, making Letta only respond to the kiss Marco gave, as if Letta was sure that her husband was fine. Letta began to feel the warmth of her husband's body, traversing his thick hair when Marco didn't stay idle with both of his hands dancing on the surface of her very smooth skin. Marco then loosened the connection of their lips a bit, leaned down, and kissed Letta's round belly.
"Daddy here has to take care of some important matters, so you have to take care of mommy, okay?" Marco said while kissing the round belly, immediately getting a kick from inside Letta's stomach, making them smile.
"It seems like he agrees. All right then, Daddy will visit you first before Daddy goes on a business trip," Marco said, winking at Letta, who only chuckled at her husband's antics.
