She froze in an instant and immediately jerked herself away from Nicholas. After removing herself from the compromising position she had been in, Jessica stared at Justin, who was now charging towards them in fury. He knocked Nicholas out in one blow to the face.Nicholas felt something warm on his face – it was blood! He placed his hand on his face to trace the source of blood, and that's when he found it – the blood was coming out of his nose. Justin had hit him so hard his nose almost broke. Nicholas sat there, laughing at himself, at the mess he had just become.Justin, thinking he was mocking him, went for another blow. Jessica saw what he was about to do and immediately interfered, standing between him and Nicholas. "Stop it this instant, Justin! Just stop! Can't you see he is bleeding? What more harm do you want to inflict on your own brother?" she cried out.Justin glared at her with his cold, dark eyes – they were deadly, so deadly that Jessica instinctively stepped back. He y

She met Justin just at the foot of the staircase. To her amazement, He walked right past her without uttering a word.Jessica was stunned. "Good morning, Justin," she said as she hurried after him. Without looking back, Justin gave a very short and cold response, "Morning, Jessica.""A...are you off somewhere? I made breakfast," she stuttered, her voice quavering. Justin halted in his tracks but didn't look back. He tilted his head a bit and said, "I am not hungry." Though his voice was calm, it was so cold; Jessica felt like she had just been iced.She hugged herself tightly, trying to ward off the cold that suddenly enveloped her as she watched Justin and Kelvin's retreating figures. As soon as they got outside and shut the door behind them, Jessica fell to the floor; tears she had been holding back came streaming down her cheeks.She was sorry, deeply sorry for having wavered and allowed Nicholas to kiss her. That wasn't what she wanted; she had been shocked it happened, but it hap

Jessica persistently called her mother, and after the fourth ring, she finally answered."Hello, my child, how are you?" Jessica was a bit shocked to speak. Had her mother intentionally ignored her calls? She wondered."Hello, Jess, are you there?" Rebecca said, breaking the silence."Yes, Mother, I am here," Jessica replied in a daze. "I actually thought something was wrong when you didn't answer my calls after it rang four times.""Oh, that... I was actually looking at my phone ring and dancing to the melodious tune until the fourth ring," Rebecca chuckled."That isn't fair, Mum. Why did you do that?" Jessica quizzed. Rebecca, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up and walked to her balcony. Leaning comfortably on the rail, she said, "Well, my child, next time when I call you, you will pick up on time."Jessica smiled, noticing that her mother was now strong and in good spirits to the extent that she was making jokes."Why were you scared, though? It's not like I was sick when you l

Jessica was surprised; she hadn't expected to hear those words escape from Justin's lips. All of a sudden, she felt like she had been hit with a thousand bricks. All the things she had said, how much of it had he heard?Jessica swallowed hard as Justin drew her to his side and repeated his words. "Please stay with me," he said as his eyes roamed over her, his stare carving a hot path down the front of her chest.She simply nodded her head and sat down beside him. Justin lifted himself up from the bed and leaned his back on the headboard, pulling Jessica even closer to him.Jessica gulped and shut her eyes momentarily; she dreaded the question she was about to ask but knew she had to ask it. She needed to know just how much of what she said he had heard."How long have you been awake?" Jessica said casually, putting on a fake smile even though she was so tense inside.Justin knew; he knew just why she had asked the question, and he knew what reply to give. "I am just waking up now. I t

Jessica smiled at him as he carried her to the bed. He laid her down and gazed into her sparkling brown eyes. With one hand, he brushed her hair backward, carefully taking in her beauty. He parted his lips and said, "I am so sorry I didn't introduce Silver to you. I really wanted to." He planted a kiss on her lips. Jessica's eyes fluttered shut; when she opened them again, all Justin saw was desire.It was crystal clear. She wanted him, maybe just as much as he wanted her. He planted another kiss on her neck, "I am so sorry for everything that happened today." Jessica nodded her head; she had heard enough of the pleas. All she wanted right now was for him to spring into action.Justin kissed her sensually on the lips, "I am sorry…" But before he could finish talking, Jessica's mouth possessed his, drowning any remaining words he had left. All she wanted was to have a good time with her man. Justin, with his mouth and tongue, pleasured Jessica, giving her an experience that was bound to
