Bound To Him

It was very early in the morning, Blake was woken up by his ringing phone. He was sleeping so soundly with Sara in his arms, their arms and limbs tangled up with each other, and he did not want to move. 

He was thinking of letting it go to voicemail, but his sense of duty overpowered his need to ignore his ringing phone. It was a good thing Sara was still sleeping so soundly. He cursed as he got up, who would even think about bothering him this early in the morning?

It was his father, so he didn't hesitate to answer it, thinking that he only calls him this early if it was really important.

"Dad, is everything okay?" Blake spoke.

"Blake, come home for breakfast and bring Sara with you," Mr. Anderson said. Blake frowned and wondered why his father wanted to meet Sara so suddenly.

"Sara is out of town for a modeling shoot, I will bring her to see you in two days," Blake lied. He did not want Sara to get uncomfortable by meeting his parents this early in their relationship. His plan was to take her to meet them only when she was ready.

Mr. Anderson chuckled and said, "Son, don't lie to me, I know Sara is lying next to you, so just bring her here when she wakes up. Don't worry, we will not trouble her."

Blake cursed for getting caught, he wondered who among his maids had tattled to his dad, he can never keep anything from him, he always has eyes and ears everywhere.

"Okay, fine, we'll be there," Blake surrendered and ended the call. There was no use lying to his dad. He always finds out the truth.

On the other end of the line, Mr. Anderson smiled, it seems that he really was protective of his girlfriend. When he learned the news about Joaquin and the Star Light company, he knew that Blake was behind it all, but he never knew what his reason was, so he dug a little deeper and found out they had both wronged Sara and Blake took his revenge on them. 

His invitation this morning had a purpose, he wanted to meet this wonderful woman that changed his son's idea about women, for Blake women were bothersome creatures, and he didn't want to do anything with them, but Sara seemed to change his demeanor, it seemed that he soon was very deeply in love with her. He wanted to know what his plans are for the future when it came to their relationship.

His daughter was already settled down with her wonderful husband, and he wanted his son to have the same thing. He was looking forward to having grandkids running around in his house.

Blake placed his phone back on the bedside table as he looked at the still sleeping Sara. She looked very peaceful. He still couldn't believe that she had accepted his proposal and had told him that she loved him back. She gave him a chance, and he will do everything in his power to make her happy.

Last night was their first night together as a couple, and that is how he wants to spend every night, with Sara in his arms.

It warmed his blood when he remembered what they did last night. She felt so right in his arms, loving her, kissing her, he almost lost control and went all the way, but he did not want their first time to happen because they got out of control. There would be a lot of getting out of control later.

Blake traced her cheek with his thumb. "Very beautiful," he thought, she had removed all her makeup before going to bed, she looked younger than she really was, and it made her feel more. and he really liked waking up with her in his bed in the mornings. "I could get used to this," he thought as he smiled.

"Hmm hmm," Sara said as she felt him softly caressing her cheek. He smiled as wrapped her hair around his finger, pulling it slightly to wake her up.

"Hmm.. stop it," she said sleepily, her eyes still closed. "You're so cute!" he says and gives her hair another tug. She half-opened her eyes, "Blake, go back to sleep," she says as she closes her eyes and goes back to sleep.

Now that he was awake, he couldn't just let her keep on sleeping, so he started to give light kisses on her face, he started with her forehead, then her eyes, then her nose...

She stirred and started smiling, and when he kissed her lips she just responded like it was natural. "This was a good way to be woken up in the morning, sweet kisses and....," she was thinking, but she got interrupted. 

Sara was sleeping in her underwear and when he saw all the love bites he'd left on her body, he lost his cool, he just wanted to keep on touching her and kissing her. He started with that place behind her ear, then down her throat, to the top of..., when Sara pushed him off a little, "Blake, it's too early for this," she said. She was brave last night because the moment presented itself, but right now, she was not sure if she could muster enough courage to do it in broad daylight. 

He knew what she was saying, and he wasn't really gonna go too far, he just wanted a taste, so he stopped what he was doing and instead gave her one more of his mind-blowing kisses.

Breathlessly he whispered, "Come on let's get ready for breakfast."

She was in the bathroom doing the final touches of her makeup when Blake stood behind her and placed his hands on her waist and nuzzled her neck, "Baby, my parents invited us today for breakfast," he was a little scared that she might get mad, so he tried to soften her up.

Sara looked at him through the mirror, shocked was an understatement, she could not believe what she had heard, "What did you say?" she said as she turned around to face him.

Blake held her both her hands in his, as he explained, "Baby, my father called me this morning and told me he wanted to invite you for breakfast," he said looking into her eyes.

"Blake, how does your father know about us? I'm not prepared to do this yet, we just confirmed our feelings for each other yesterday, this is just too soon for me," Sara said everything in one breath.

"Baby, take a deep breath and calm down," he said, "I told my father about you before, and he knows you are with me right now. How he knew you were here, I do not know. 

I tried making an excuse and even tried to lie, saying that you were off-site in a photoshoot and we would see him in two days, but he caught me. 

But don't worry, you don't need to do anything, you are already perfect as you are. I just know that my family will love you.

They are very easy going, and I already told them that I loved you. 

Baby, I am serious about you, and I do not want to put you on the spot right now, but I want you to know that I would like to marry you someday when you are ready."

Her heart fluttered when he said he would like to marry her someday, this guy that she thought was very arrogant and opinionated was the sweetest and gentlest man she had ever met. Each day that they have spent together gives her an insight into who he truly is, and she is loving him more because of it. 

She has learned that these Aristocratic heirs do not throw empty words needlessly to get what they want. Blake just declared what he wanted to do for their future, and she knows that she should not take this lightly because he will do what he says and more. 

Her future is looking brighter with Blake by her side, to love her and support her through thick and thin.

"Okay, I will go and see them today, but you have to promise to be with me all the time," she requested.

"Don't worry I have your back," he said, ruffling her hair.

Sara relaxed and went to get ready. In the closet, she noticed that there were a few dresses in her size. She wondered if they had been part of the clothes that Blake's assistant brought last time, or if these were new. 

She shrugged it off and got the dress that Blake said he wanted her to wear, a very chic blue ensemble that she paired off with nude heels and purse, and the jewelry that he gave her. 

Blake noticed that Sara was fidgeting when they got to his house, she was nervous, so he took her hand as they walked into the living room, waiting for his parents as the servants went to get them.

Mr. and Mrs. walked side by side as they came down the stairs.

Sara noticed that Mr. Anderson looked like the older version of Blake, still very handsome at his age but with an added wisdom in his look. He was dressed in a grey suit and looked as dashing as Blake did.

Mrs. Anderson looked very young and energetic in her vibrant clothing. She had always chosen lighter colored clothes to highlight her glowing skin.

Mrs. Anderson left her husbands' side as soon as she saw the couple.

She took Sara's hand and said, "Blake is this your girlfriend Sara?" she was so excited, she did not bother to wait for his answer.

"My dear, you are so beautiful. Do you know that as soon as I learned you were Blake's girlfriend I went online and looked for all your ads? I watched all the commercials you have endorsed and it looked like you are really so talented," she said excitedly. She was like one of Sara's teenage fans.

Sara felt at ease, Mrs. Anderson was such a happy and easy-go-lucky person, she was nothing like the evil mothers-in-law in the dramas. She was mentally preparing herself for what she should do, but she needn't worry herself, because Mrs. Anderson was nothing but kind.

Blake smiled, he knew his mother had always been like this, nice and accommodating, so he did not even worry about Sara meeting them. 

Sara looked over and saw Mr. Anderson standing behind her with an unreadable expression. 

"Good morning sir," Sara greeted him politely.

"Welcome to our family Sara," Mr. Anderson said.

He trusted his son's judgment, but for his peace of mind, he had to verify her history and found that she lived a very clean life. Her father was a very famous businessman who was very well respected in the whole country, and just like Sara, he was squeaky clean.

Sara's younger sister Ava Wesley was married to an aristocratic heir, Tristan Ambrosio, and everybody knows that he did not take love lightly either, he had fallen in love with Ava because she was a good person.

With all of these factors considered, he readily accepted Sara as his daughter-in-law. If it was somebody else, then it would have taken time to accept her.
