"My heart is, and always will be, yours." –Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility.

Nico's POV.  

"Are you sure this is the best decision Mr. Kourakis?" My lawyer questioned for the third time that morning as my irritation spiked.

"I don't think I pay you to question my business choices Frederick!" I snapped at the old man as he jumped in his seat forcing me to quell my surge of anger.

"Of course sir." He meekly replied adjusting his ill fitted brown jacket.

"Do you have the documents prepared?" I asked once again, in-taking a deep breath to quell my rising anger as he handed over the envelope.

"Mrs. Kourakis signature would also be needed sir." He said softly as I glanced through the papers.

"Is that an absolute necessity?" I asked as I slid my ink pen across the dotted lined scribbling my signature.

"For future legal reasons...yes sir." He replied, "Majority of the company shares is being transferred into her name. Although you still own forty percent, Mrs. Kourakis will now be the entitled beneficiary."

"And do you have the expansion papers for the building being set up in Hong Kong?" I questioned as the next few hours flew by discussing legalities until it drove me to complete boredom. As Frederick continued going on and on about China's political and environmental reservations for the new company's structure, my mind zooned out as the image of my wife naked in bed where I had left her that morning entered my memory momentarily distracting me.

"Sir...sir..." He called out pulling me from my X-rated thoughts as I glanced impassively at him, "Do you think we can work around the policies?"

Drawing a blank I stared at him as l rocked back in my chair," We never had any problems thus far in accordance to the Chinese law." I replied trying my best to grasp at an answer to which I had no idea what the question was, "The company in Beijing is thriving and now we will work on merging both together as similar to the one in North and South London. When we return to London this discussion shall be continued but the current project will be put on hold until further notice."

Taking his cue to leave, he briskly exited the office as I rotated the chair around glancing out the glass windows to the sparkling blue waters of Athens. The sun shone brightly across the cloudless sky as the view offered the picture perfect backdrop. Clasping my hands under my chin, I rocked back in the chair as my thoughts strayed away. My eyes immediately went to the portrait that took its rightful place up against the wall as I felt that papa's watchful eyes were always guiding me towards the right path. I could not have helped but felt honored to sit in his chair and imagine that that was the view that sat before him day by day.

Rising out of the chair, I pinned together the buttons on my suit jacket and strode across the room to stare up close at the framed portrait that was soon becoming a daily routine. Taking the silent moments that was granted to me, I returned to my desk no longer interested in working as my eyes met the smiling picture that gracefully took its place on my desk. I felt the tug of my lips as I looked at my wife's angelic face smiling back at me as I snapped the picture on our honeymoon.

Although the afternoon had just began and I was due to attend back to back meetings throughout the rest of the day, that did not stop me from canceling them all as the helicopter landed on the helipad of my Greek home before ascending into the sky once again.

Discarding my suit jacket on the end of the sofa, I made my way up the staircase and into our bedroom as a frown made its way onto my face. Searching through the closet and en-suite, she was nowhere to be found as brief panic surged through me. Quickly exiting the room, I strode across the hall feeling my heart instantly slow down as I spotted the double doors slightly ajar.

"Kaló apógevma agape mou." I greeted good afternoon as she jumped slightly in shock.

"Nico!" She replied startled as her hand rested on her full breast to quell her beating heart. My eyes were immediately drawn to them as I felt the familiar ache in my cock, "You're home early." She went on saying forcing my eyes back up to her beautiful face.

"Aren't you happy to see me agape mou?" I asked as I crouched down to eye level as she sat back on the rocking chair.

"Always." She replied as she rested the ball of yarn down on her thighs as her fingers combed through my hair.

The sight of her had always managed to catch my breath. She was exquisitely beautiful in every sense of the word. Her thick black hair hung like a halo around her as it fell of her shoulders. Her chocolate brown eyes glowed with love as her pink mouth smiled sweetly at me.

"I love you." I told her earnestly as her face blossomed in adoration. Rising up to my feet, I placed a gentle kiss to her full mouth that quickly transcended as she ferociously responded opening her addicting mouth for me as my tongue slipped inside intoxicated from the slightest taste of her.

Pulling away slightly I rested my forehead against hers as I breathed deeply inhaling her sweet scent of honey and lavender.

"I love you too." Her soft voice whispered as her hands banded around my waist.

Placing one final kiss onto her forehead, I stepped back as I took in the sight of her swollen mouth in nothing other than pure male satisfaction.

"I came home to spend time with you." I replied answering her earlier question, "What are you doing in here?"

Her face transformed into a beaming grin as she held up two identical pairs of cardigans, "What do you think?"

Feeling my answering grin make its way to my face, I took the small material into my hands as I admired the handiwork.

"Do you not like it?" She asked nervously biting her lip as her hand made its way to her rounded stomach as she slowly began rocking.

"Like it?" I questioned, "I love it. It is quite clear how much detail and thought went into this." I said to her as I looked at the intricate design.

Slowly rising out of the chair, she held up the matching set as we gazed adoringly at each other. Love like I never knew before expanded within my chest as I looked at her delicately folding the pair.

"I like being in here." She murmured as she placed the cardigans into the drawers that were slowly becoming filled before making her way back to me.

Gathering her into my arms, I placed a lingering kiss to her lips as I held her close as best as I could have.

"Me to." I replied as we glanced around at the nursery. The walls painted in a soft cream held a serenity that was unlike any other room in the house. Two cots laid side by side as identical rocking lambs took their places on either side. Completed with a changing table, a walk in closet already filled with baby clothes and blankets and two rocking chairs, we often spent most evenings in here rearranging toys or simply looking out at the ocean. A similar room was set up at our London home, my heart contracted as I tightened my hold on her.

"Did you decide on any names yet?" She asked as she rested her head against my chest.

"How about Aurora?" I replied as her bright eyes met mine, "It's who I fell in love with first afterall." I offered smiling at her as her eyes welled with emotion.

"Your son still needs a name." She replied sniffling happily as I wiped the tears away.

"Angus?" I asked as she nodded misting over yet again.

As she cupped her small hands against my cheek, her eyes shone tenderly up at me, I could have fallen in love all over again, "It's perfect." She replied, "He will be as intelligent and loving and humble as the man he is named after."

Placing my hands against her pregnant belly, she rested her much smaller ones atop mine as the twins kicked about joyfully.

"I think they like their names." I stated.

Grinning in agreement, she pulled my head down as my lips met hers in passionate kiss as her tongue dueled with mine once more. Effortlessly picking her up, I spent the rest of the afternoon displaying how much I had truly missed her until we lay spent tangled together as the sun dipped in the sky. Placing a nip against her sun kissed shoulders; I quickly soothed it with a kiss while I caressed her stomach. Turning in my arms, her eyes shone brightly up at me her hands came up to caress my jaw.

"I have something for you to sign." I said softly as I placed a kiss against her upturn palm.

"What is it?" She asked gently as she continued her caress.

Not knowing what her reaction was to be I took a brief pause before I carried on, "It involves the shares in my company. Sixty percent has been allocated to you."

"Nico!" She exclaimed pulling away as she stared at me in open shock, "I can't accept that."

Bringing my body as close to hers once again, I banded my arms around her rounded waist ensuring she could not leave, "Athena, please hear me out agape mou...myself as well as mama think it best. I am sure papa would have agreed also. My sole ownership of the company played a big role in us being together and I felt that you had no control over the situation back then. Now you do. Papa and I have spent a very long time getting it to where it is now and I am very proud to share this with you. Please accept. For years, I woke up each day giving my heart to expanding our group. Now you own my heart. Please let me share this with you."

"But I cannot run a company." She whispered still unsure.

Tugging her chin forward, I peered into her beautiful eyes filled with questions, "You have nothing to do agape mou, I still occupy the CEO position but now most of the shares financially goes to you."

"And if I refuse?" She questioned.

"I sincerely hope you do not." I replied earnestly.

"Okay." She amended, "But when the twins are old enough that get equal share of my portion."

"And mine." I answered feeling the contentment roll around as I caressed her stomach.

"I love you." She whispered sleepily as she pulled me close.

"I love you too agape mou." I whispered against her ear as I felt the telling smile kiss her lips as her eyes fluttered shut.

As she laid sound asleep in my arms, I continued caressing her swollen belly as immense pride and love enveloped me.

I could not have asked for a better story where it all started because of my arranged wife.
