Janet Rivera's POV

Yesterday has been the best. When we both confessed to each other, he got more affectionate, compassionate, tender and lustful. I have read enough to know what lust is. In a relation of husband and wife we have to take both love and lust together, but also know that there is very thin line between them. And I know that Nathan loves and lusts over me but he knows where to draw the line.

Anyways Nathan now has been careful about my nightmare even after I told him that they aren't frequent as they were before. He contacted some therapist and now I have an appointment in three days. I also want them to stop but with the devil back to ruin my life it's quite impossible. When I am alone in the house, I can't help but think if Nathan is fine. Her threats shouldn't get to me, but they did. I can't stop worrying about him and that's what makes the nightmares come. I shouldn't think about her but since I am mostly alone in the house, I keep thinking. I don't know what to do and it's frustrating me.

"Let's go to the movies tonight." He didn't ask just told me not like I will deny him.

"What movie?" I asked, smiling as he hugged me from behind. His hand wrapping around my small waist as he digged his face under my neck while placing a small kiss. I tried to control the blush but couldn't as goosebumps covered my body.

"You won't get scared by a scary movie, right?" He questioned as he clipped my chin with his long fingers, turning my face to the side.

"No, I have actually seen one horror movie with Lydia. It was Conjuring 1, nothing scary about it, just interesting." I heard him chuckle as I dried the dishes.

"Did you really not get scared?" He asked, surprised. I shook my head as he pressed his body to mine and lightly swaying.

"Why are you surprised?" I finished the last plate and turned to face him.

"I mean, Bella screams while watching a horror movie." I laughed as he smirked at me, while leaning a little closer to me.

"Then why does she watch it?"

"We kind of forced her many times." He stated while chuckling deeply making my insides tingle.

"Scary movie sounds good." I told him as I backed away from his warm arms and towards our bedroom. I went forward to our closet and picked up the dirty clothes and went along my way to the laundry room. Nathan had an automatic laundry machine so it wasn't hard unlike when I was in that prison, I had to wash by hands.

While I was done, I heard my phone ring. Walking towards it, I picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Hey girl, it's me Valeria." I instantly smiled, it's been too long since I meet her.

"How you doing? How's Darrell?" I adjusted the phone between my ear and shoulder as I cleaned up the kitchen table.

"We are doing great, he has been learning new things every day." I smiled at that. It won't be long when I have my own.

"That's good to know." I tell her as I sat on the couch of the living room with Nathan who was watching the news.

"Anyways I wanted to ask if you are free for an hour or two. It's been long since we had a meet up." I hummed in agreement while Nathan pulled me closer to him with his face still stuck in the TV.

"Is Bella joining?" I asked her.

"No, I asked her but she was busy."

"Okay text me the place and I'll be there. What time though?" I sat up straight as Nathan gave me quizzical look.

"Meet me in a hour." She hung up as I turned to face Nathan.

"Valeria wanted to meet." He hummed as his eyes went to my lips, as a small smirk played on his lips.

"I'll drop you off." He told me as he leaned forward and took my lips in his without any warning. His gentle lips moved with a slow rythem as he pulled me closer to him. His hands on my waist as he made me sat on his lap. I was lost in his lips as I didn't realize the position, his hands kept moving from the side of my breast to my hips as they trailed a fire in me.

"I need to get ready Nathan." I mumbled as he placed kisses along my jaw, leaving a wet trail.

"You can show up a little late." And then all of a sudden, he switched positions making me yelp. He turned us over as my back hit the couch with him over me and my wrist in his capture, so I couldn't move.

"I need a little more time with you." He told me as he dipped his face in my neck and started sucking my skin like I was his breath. I closed my eyes and bit my lip harder trying to control the moans so Lydia couldn't hear. Oh no, Lydia is still in the house. First she heard me in the morning and now.

"N- Nathan! Lydia is still here!!" I breathed out. He didn't seem to care as he kept toturing me with his skilled lips. Placing hickeys after hickeys as if he was marking me as his own. His lips went lower and lower and then stopped at my neckline, as he gazed at me.

"Moan as much as you want, I won't stop." His words were so sinful and yet I loved it. His lips went back to my collar bone and them lower to the neckline of my shirt and I thought he would stop there but he didn't as he using one of his hands lowered my shirt and kissed my skin below it making me press my thighs together and shut my eyes tighter.

I didn't stop him as he licked the area and went towards the middle of my chest, my shirt was of no use as it was already low. He kissed the space and moved forward to the side making me breath harder. With my wrist captured, him on top of me and his lips over my chest made my mind jumbled up, my heart pace quickened and my face painted with red color. A moan escaped my lips as he bit my breast. He was being torturous slow as he never went near the place, I wanted him to go.

"Mrs. Rivera, there is a letter for you. It says it's from Valeria." I jerked up as I heard her distant voice coming from the kitchen. I pushed Nathan as he groaned and sat up with his eyes over my neck. He smirked at me as I stared at him in confusion. I turned to gaze where his eyes were and saw a whole lot of hickey's over my neck and over my breast. I gasped as I hit his arm while he chuckled.

"Don't do that! Now I have too hide these again." I told him as I stood up with him gazing at me, that beautiful and devilish smirk printed on his face. I saw Lydia coming up and I quickly pulled my hair down covering my hickey making Nathan laugh again.

"Here the letter." She handed me letter as I looked at it, curiously.

Why would Valeria give me a letter?

Shrugging I thanked Lydia and made my way over to my room, I changed my clothes quickly so I won't get late and stuffed the letter into my purse. I would check it later. I walk outside the room as I brushed my hair real quickly.

"Nathan? Let's go." He nodded as he stood up from the couch and took a hold of his wallet and keys. He pecked my lips and winked as he eyed my hickeys while I glared at him. We both wore boots and went along our way towards his car.

"Where to?" He asked.

"The mall."

************

"You are 20 minutes late." I gave her a 'sorry' look as she narrowed her eyes at me.

"Sorry got busy in the traffic." I didn't lie though, the roads were quite crowded.

"Oh don't you lie to me. I see those hickeys." She chuckled as I face palmed, embrassed.

"It's fine girl, these things are quite common for wives who have perfect husbands'." I laughed at her choice of words and then we kept talking and talking. It was really good to have a friend like this, to share every little thing and never be ashamed of what you were or how you are.

I was almost about to leave as we paid the bill together. I had a few money in my purse as Nathan never forgets to keep some cash in my purse for my own using even after I told him, I don't want it. We stood up laughing as she told me a joke when my eyes went behind Valeria. That face how could I forget it.

What the hell was she doing here? Is she following me?

I turned to face Valeria and quickly told her to follow me. She curiously gazed at me as I being impatient took a hold of her hand and ran across the restuarent that was inside the mall. I pushed past people and went in a small store as I blew a breath of relief.

"What is going on, Janet?" I suddenly went speechless. What am I supposed to tell her? I cannot tell her no matter what. I don't want to get her into trouble.

"I just saw some guy looking over at us and it was real creepy. He really looked bad so I took us away from him." She faced me with horror as I was breathing hard.

"You should have told me so I could have inform the security." I shrugged trying to act normal.

"At the moment I couldn't think." I reasoned as she nodded.

"Want to have a drink at my house." She asked, smiling as I felt relief that she didn't ask anything else.

"Sure."

*********

"Can I ask you something?" Valeria said as she sat beside me with the cup of coffee in her delicate hands.

"Sure anything." She was fidgeting as she lowered her eyes and then looked at me with pity.

"Where did you got those scars?" She blunted as my eyes widened. I knew she and Bella saw them but I didn't think she would ask about them so soon. All those painful- No I will not think about them. I shut my eyes tight as I closed off all those feelings.

"If you don't want to talk about it-" I cut her off with a smile as she tried to smile in the situation.

"No, no its fine. Its just past, something that I have to overcome." I told her in a whisper as she nodded understanding.

"My aunt did this." She gasped as I didn't dare to face her. I kept my eyes over the small cup of coffee, filled with goodness but covered up by glass letting no one devour its taste just like me. I was covering myself with a glass so no one could know me but now I will let Valeria have a sip of my world.

"I used to have a happy family, but when I turned five, my father left. He and my mother used to fight a lot. But at the end they used to forgive each other but that one time my father got so angry that he left and never came back." I sighed as I thought about him, even after what I saw. I feel like he still misses me and I want to meet him. "After that my Mother was a little sad not much cause he was still in contact with us, it was later when everything was settled. When at the age of seven, my aunt told me that my mother got tired of me and left me. She took me to another house and I worked there like a servant. I never believed her and I was right. She didn't leave me because I heard my mother's voice when that devil was talking to her. She was trying to find me and at that moment I came to know that-" I stopped as stated at her in the eyes.

"That I got kidnapped." A tear fell from her eyes as I didn't knew I was already in tears. I laughed humorlessly as I wiped my tears and sipped the already cold coffee.

"Didn't you ever try to run away from there?" She asked.

"Many times but couldn't, all these scars and burns were because I tried to run away but she caught me everytime. For ten years I tried and tried but I got no hope. Until one day, when she for the first time took me out of that prison. I was relieved and afraid, because I thought I was going to die. At that point I welcomed death.

"But then I meet Nathan. It was like a gift from God. It was like a reward for being patient and a sorry for suffering all of those painful tortures." I finished as she side hugged me with her one arm around my shoulder. I leaned my head over shoulder as we kept quiet, savouring the moment.

"Janet never think you are alone. You have everyone around you. You have Bella, me, Derek and most of all Nathan." She told me as we pulled back. I smiled at her response as she held my hand and gave it a squeeze giving me a reassurance look.

"I can never be more thankful."

************

"Hope you won't get scared." He said with the smirk growing onto his lips. I rolled my eyes at him as I faced the big black screen.

"I won't." I told him as I leaned back on the cinema seats and balanced the soda in the cup holder.

"You can hold my arm if you get frightened." He held his bicep up for me as he kept his arm over the chair handle making my fingers touch his. His hair fell over as I turned to face him. He was so, so handsome even in the dark, his blue eyes gazed at me with that playful demour. He bit his lip as I took a hold of his arm, my fingers roamed around his flesh as I gave it a squeeze. We gazed at each other for a long time before I couldn't take his stare and looked away, blushing.

"The movie is starting, focus on the screen." I told him as I heard his deep chuckle. We were watching IT 2, the part before it wasn't that scary but the blood and violence was freaking me out. And I was a little excited and scared for this movie.

During the end of the movie, the scenes were too over whelming as I tightly wrapped my arms around his bicep getting closer to him.

"Scared?" I turned to face him as he smirked devilishly.

"No!" I groaned as he pulled me closer to him. I was not afraid of the jump scares but the blood. He kissed my cheek and held my hand in his as he kept his face straight. I turned to face back the screen when the Joker jumped on the screen making me gasp and scream a little with the crowd. Nathan laughed as I hit his arm.

"I did not get scared. It was just the jump took me off guard." I whispered as he nodded mocking me making me hit him again and he winced while rubbing the part where I hit. Dramatic!

When the movie ended we walked around the garden that was near our house. We kept talking getting to know each other more. Most of our talk was about movies. He has watched so, so many and I look forward to watch it with him.

When we reached home, Nathan was already tired as he went to the room, quickly taking his clothes off, also hanging them and laid on the bed with only his boxers. You think I am used to his bare body but I was not and just thinking one day those boxers will also come- No, no don't go there. I changed my clothes and then I remembered something.

The Letter.

I forgot all about it, and I could have asked Valeria about the letter. I took my purse out of the closet, unzipped it and casually took the letter out. Maybe Valeria wanted to send some papers or photos. I was curious, so I tore the letter an took out the piece of paper.

When I read the letter, there weren't many words but whatever was written it scared me to the core. My hands shook as I read the words again and again.

I am watching you!

I crumbled the paper and threw it in the dustbin. Not wanting Nathan to know anything. She can't do anything. I kept telling myself as I ran towards the bed and snuggled into the blanket. Nathan was already half asleep as I moved closer to him. His arm held me as I closed my eyes not wanting to think about it.

She can't do anything. She can never come in between me and Nathan. I am just afraid if she hurts Nathan, I won't be able to live knowing he will get hurt. But I can't tell him either. It's just I don't know how to tell him. How will he take the confession that my aunt is threatening me? I shook my head out of these thoughts and leaned more into Nathan as deep sleep consumed me.
