LOVE IN PARIS: Married To My Brother-in-law-Chapter 28: To The Mountainside

After dropping Leila safely at her apartment, the car turned towards the grandiose estate as Yvette laid contented in Zeke’s loving and warm embrace.

Soon, the car rolled to a stop and Zeke quickly stepped down opening the car door for her with a bow and she stepped out giggling.

As Yvette stepped inside the house, she was welcomed by the comforting scent of a delicious home cooked meal . Her muscles a hed from the long day but the warmth that filled that air lifted her spirit immediately.

"Welcome back home, Madam" . Zeke said behind her, his eyes shining with the tenderness she always found herself falling into.

"Is Mrs Lawrence already around?".

"Nope, I cooked as usual. I asked her to take a few more days off work so she can wholeheartedly take care of her grandchild". Zeke beamed as he replied her.

Yvette giggled . "Are you sure it’s for her to be able to wholeheartedly take care of her grandchild as you’ve said".

"Definitely not. That’s just partly the reason, we need quiet time alone as a newly wedded couple". He whispered in her ears before then dropping her bag on the couch.

"Naughty. " Yvette smiled. "Newly wedded you say but I remember it’s been more a month". Yvette smiled and was just about to bend over to take off her heels but Zeke knelt in front of her, gently taking her ankle in his hands.

"Let me ". He insisted, his touch careful and tender as he removed her heels one by one.

The gesture was so simple but it made her heart swell with warmth that immediately chased away her fatigue.

"You know . . You don’t have to do all these". She said softly as her foot hit the soft marble floor as he helped her out of her coat.

Zeke smiled , shaking his head as he scooped her up into his embrace before she could even respond, cradling her gently like she weighed nothing. "I want to".

Yvette laughed, resting her head on his shoulder and arms around his neck as he carried her to the dining table, sitting her down gently in front of the carefully laid table , a warm dinner for two.

Her eyes softened as she took in the sight of the carefully arranged plates, the several candles casting a soft glow a d she appreciated the effects he had gone through just to make her happy..

He took his seat across her , his hand brushing against hers as he served her ,dinner as if it was the most casual thing to do.

"I figured you’ll be tired after a long day". He said, his eyes flashing with the familiar protective gaze she’d grown used to.

"So I thought to take care of you tonight". He added and she blushed, appreciating his efforts.

Ever since the incident a week ago, he has been the one doing the chores even dishes. He refused to let her do anything afraid she’ll be stressed and there was nothing more she could do at home.

Dinner passed in comfortable conversation, the couple sharing stories from the days quietly enjoying each other’s company.

After the meal, Zeke tended to the dishes and as usual refusing her offer to help and carrying her back to the living room to rest.

Finally, when he was done he joined her on the couch as she passed him a cup of tea.

"I didn’t think I shouldn’t even make the dishes again. You’re such a great chef and before your great culinary skills, mine is nothing but garbage. Completely incomparable". Yvette said as she gazed at the cup and saucer in her grasp.

"Hmm. "Zeke began. "There’s indeed nothing particular about your culinary skills but it’s just that now that I’ve grown used to it I find it more endearing and delicious".

"I never realized you have such a honey tongue, what a professional bootlicker". She grumbled but smiled anyways. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"That’s not the reason I don’t want you to cook. It’s just that your schedules these days are heavy and I don’t want you to be overwhelmed with work".

"Hmm".She smiled and pecked his cheeks before pulling away but Zeke sure wasn’t going to let her off easily, he kissed her passionately and she soon responded, his kisses lingering on her sensitive earlobes, collarbones, chest. Warm hands also followed, trailing under her clothes and arousing trembles whenever they touch.

Yvette lost in the moment panted. "Damn it.. . I don’t want to do it on the couch". She moaned then suddenly remembered what she wanted to say to him.

"Zeke . ."

"Hmm". He replied but continued his onslaught of affection on her body.

"There’s something we need to talk about". She said again and this time also he didn’t stop his actions but merely nodded .

"I’m serious".

"Fine". He grunted as he stopped, his arms tightening as he hugged her in his embrace.

"What happened?". He asked, his brows furrowing slightly, concerned but patient as he waited for her to continue.

"I’ll be heading out with the rests of the cast’s tomorrow". She said, choosing her words carefully, her fingers tracing his collarbones.

"There are some couple of scenes we need to shoot at the mountain side so I’ll be gone for a few days".

He nodded with a calm expression then asked. "How long will you be gone?".

"Three or four days at most". She replied. "But it still depends on the cast’s performance".

His gaze remained steady as he agreed. "I’ll send some security with you, just to be safe". He added protectively.

Yvette immediately shook her head in disagreement, her lips curling into a small smile as she persuaded him. "There’s really no need for that. I don’t want to stand out amongst others and besides I have Leila with me what could possibly go wrong?".

However, Zeke’s expression didn’t soften nor did his resolve waver. ""After what has happened previously on set, I can’t be comfortable with you heading out without protection this time, what if someone takes the chance to stir up trouble?".
