She put her hands on his chest in an attempt to push him away, but her efforts were mostly in vain. His lips were once again within reach of his, and he pounced on the opportunity with ravenous desire. She could feel the strain in his massive body and hear his heart thumping with rage. As his hands tore at her clothing, she closed her eyes. Her pants and top were undone, and his hands were frantically stroking her body. Even as the usual wild excitement coursed through her veins, she gasped out demands for him to stop working his mouth over her throat, shoulders, and breasts.
He slid between her knees, his ripped thigh thrusting between them, his tongue ravaging hers again with a frantic fervor that she eagerly matched. Her head spun wildly as her mouth parted in a moan of ecstasy as she was sucked into a whirlwind of need. She grabbed at him desperately, her fingers tangled in his thick black hair, and then slid beneath his shirt to feel the pounding of his h
After three exhausting days in New York, it hit him last night He had given Anna everything and yearned for her affection, but he had never told her he loved her. He had hired an aircraft and flown to Los Angeles to tell her how he felt. He was hoping that she would throw herself into his arms and feel the same way.He knew as soon as Marvie told him Anna was in Montebello, but he chose to ignore the information. He had fully lost it when he saw her sobbing over her husband's memories in the bedroom. Love had previously turned him into a raving idiot, but not anymore. Aside from his relationship with Anna, his life was a resounding success. After that, he avoided being near her at all costs. He had no choice but to end their relationship since his weakness for her was becoming too great to bear.A week later, Anna sat in a restaurant with Sara, pretending to enjoy a meal she had no stomach for.Anna, don't be down. Sara beamed, “David will be returning on
Waking up was something she drew back from. At this time, no. Because he would be by her side when she did.They informed her that her husband had kept a near-constant watch for days after her admittance, and she found him sitting in a chair by the bed.Three times a day, in the morning, mid-afternoon, and evening, he had limited his visits over the previous week.While she was up, the nurses relayed the comment in an informed but slightly envious tone, which they had made while they believed she was asleep. The new information sparked interest in her. She was sent to this posh, incredibly costly private facility with its circle of consulting specialists after being taken unconscious by ambulance from the scene of the accident to a neighboring public hospital. It seemed like chaos ensued within the hour.This is Anna.The sound of the voice—a low, somewhat inflected drawl—triggered her heart rate to increase.Oh no. At this point, she would be forced to admit his existence. After a br
No, my goodness. A hushed scream escaped from some dark corner of her being. She was sad to leave this safe haven that was the hospital and this room in particular. Still, she couldn't remain forever.Felt a small lump form in her throat, which made her swallow. In an act of abstracted agitation, her fingers started to pleat the hem of the sheet. “Am I to be set free?” His features were relaxed and his mouth curled into a warm smile as she studied him intently, trying to decipher something more from his face.“There is no reason why it should not be this afternoon,” the obstetrician and neurologist have both told me.How quickly. It ought to have been tomorrow or the day after that, right? Then she could adjust to the notion more easily.She felt an overwhelming, unexplainable fear whenever she considered returning to the house, she had supposedly shared with him. Her hesitation was hard to pin down. This man is a stranger to her b
'I'll use the outermost clip,' the nurse announced as she delicately fastened the bra and then the blouse. We can remove it if it's too tight or too uncomfortable. Do you need any assistance with your makeup?There was a case full of cosmetics, but for the last seven days, she had resorted to using only moisturizer and light lipstick. She cautiously withdrew her fingers from the curved glass bottle of Dior. Why start now when she hasn't even used it in the hospital?Anna observed in idling curiosity as the nurse retrieved a piece of luggage and loaded it with all of her belongings.“Please,” Anna said, stepping in as the girl snatched up multiple expensive magazines. 'Keep them.' Can you assure me?“I agree.” The nurse said “Along with the flowers”, Anna chimed in. “The day and night shifts should each get one. “And the chocolates, the fruits.” She added.The expression on the nurse's face showed appreciation. “Thank you so much. People will really value them.” A gentle smile spread a
He walked the short distance to her side and put his hand under her elbow. We can enter the lounge now. Amy will have brewed some tea and baked treats to whet your taste buds. Amy does the cooking and takes care of the house, he whispered, responding to the silent question reflected in her eyes. Jacob, her spouse, is a general handyman who also tends to the lawn and the cars. Beautiful Chinese rugs spread across the marble floor served as a sophisticated backdrop to the expensive artworks scattered at regular intervals on the silk-covered walls. Large rugs, mostly in a light blue color with patterns that included a subtle combination of cream and the lightest pink, complemented the cream-upholstered furniture, rosewood accents, and an abundance of glass-topped side tables. Just as Anna was getting into her padded chair, a middle-aged woman with a lovely figure rolled into the room, pushing a trolley that held two pots of steaming milk, sugar, and cream as well as several plates with
No, her inner voice yelled out. She whispered in a choked voice, “I should be able to manage.” David shot out, “I doubt it,” his expression turning noticeably gloomy as he took in her clear hesitation. He drawled, “Think of me as a nurse,” as he narrowed his eyes to see her dogged determination as she stood up. There is no way a male nurse could look that good or wreak such sensory havoc on her. As he gently removed one button after another, it was clear that he was thinking things over. “The idea of a man you can't recall taking off your clothes,' David continued in a smooth voice, “a man who, as your husband, has slept with you in this bed every night, tasted you thoroughly, and implanted his sperm in your womb... frightens you?” David stared intensely at her. With a quiver in her voice, Anna corrected, “Unnerves me.” The words had tormented her ever since she found out she was pregnant. “Had we intended to have a child of our own?” As he leaned down and gently brushed his lips
As he started unbuttoning his shirt, the retort she was going to say to him slipped out of her mouth. Despite her best efforts, she couldn't tear her eyes away from him. She watched as his fingers skillfully undid the remaining buttons on his shirt and then proceeded to release the belt around his waist. In a matter of seconds, both his pants and shirt were thrown over a chair that was nearby. His vast shoulders, narrow waist, long, powerful thighs, thin hips, and tapering chest were all features of his magnificently muscular physique. At the sight of his chest, which was covered in whorls of dark hair that disappeared over a muscular waist behind black silk briefs, something deep inside her stirred and then slowly unfurled. “Are you planning to jump in the shower with me?” He must have been kidding! As Anna's eyes widened and her focus moved to a spot beyond his right shoulder, a faint flush of color spread across her cheeks, and she felt unable to control her wild imagination. She
His hands gently rested on her waist, and she couldn't hide the shiver that ran down her delicate body as his fingers found their way to the nape of her neck."David..." She lost some of the power in her voice, but soon it was back. “I would prefer to descend the stairs,” she replied with an air of urgency. His proximity was excessively near. She was puzzled as to why it irritated her. She said, "Lunch," and she felt an immense sense of relief as he released her hand and backed slightly away.Afterward, we will have a meal. I have plenty of food in the fridge and cupboard. To meet his gaze, Anna gently pivoted. Is it going to be you in the kitchen? To gently tilt her chin, he raised a hand and traced delicate fingers across her cheek, allowing them to fall down the jawline. In hypnotic stillness, she studied his broad face in all its sharp angles and planes, from the vertical furrow that sliced across each cheek to the strong sweep of his jaw and wide mouth."The thought of spending t
