With a stern expression, I followed them, trying not to dwell on the matter too much since I knew she was entirely right; Jack belonged to her, even if he had been won through trickery. They were a family, and I was just trespassing into forbidden territory.Cody and Lucila devoured their ice cream in a matter of minutes, as neither I nor Victoria dared to have one.We said our goodbyes upon leaving the place when Victoria announced that her driver would pick them up there. Lucila, a bit downcast, bid Cody farewell with a tight hug, which he reciprocated with a pained expression. Together, we decided to head back to the hospital."I swear I've seen that woman somewhere else," grumbled Cody, the moment we stood next to his motorcycle parked in the hospital's parking lot."That's impossible," I chuckled at how absurd that sounded, but he had insisted on it almost the entire way."You'll see. When I remember, you'll be so surprised that you'll have to eat everything I cook from now unti

He held me more firmly as I struggled desperately, but somehow he grabbed my face forcefully, leaving me petrified when his lips touched mine.He had done it again, completely losing me with his cheap tricks.My willpower wilted the moment he touched me, or even when he looked at me in that inexplicable way."It's just a damn useless title!" he growled exasperated. "When the person I want is you, what do you expect me to do?""The right thing, Jack!""The right thing for me is to end this charade and be with you, but I know you don't have the guts to tell me what happened 8 years ago, much less to be by my side without feeling bad for the rest of your life about what Victoria or Lucila might think.""Aren't you worried about the pain your daughter will feel?""Lucila is smart enough to accept it. The love for her is the most precious thing I have, and she's the most important person in my life. But you are too," he replied, holding me tightly in his arms while stroking my hair. I rest

Thankfully, the apartment was completely empty. Cody had mentioned he'd probably return in the early morning from his job as a companion, while Nia stayed at the hospital to finish her project in peace."What would you like to drink?" I stammered like an idiot, rushing to slip away into the kitchen to calm myself."Nothing, really," he replied, standing behind me, closely watching every move I made in the fridge."O-okay," I sighed, closing the door with my trembling hands."Why are you so nervous?" he asked, chuckling softly while wrapping his arms around me, drawing me closer to his body."I won't do anything you don't ask for, I promised," he added."I'm not going to ask for anything, idiot!""Sure?""Of course!" I lied hastily."Doesn't seem like 'nothing' is what you were thinking when you invited me to your house.""Stop playing the mind reader," I grumbled, freeing myself from his grip with the idea of sitting on the living room sofa and doing absolutely nothing to further unse

"I missed the scent of your skin, your intimacy, the expression on your face every time I touch you..." he sighed with our foreheads close, stealing each other's breath with those affectionate looks we exchanged. "I adore you, Lucy.""Ah..." I murmured in a thread of a voice when he decided it was time to take the next step.He completely removed his clothes, standing naked before me, revealing the perfection of his body in the midst of the darkness."Do it... I want to feel you completely, Jack...""Lucy..." he whispered awkwardly, penetrating me slowly, while his strong hands gripped my hips."Ah..."I couldn't hold back any longer; I let out that deep moan I had been containing for so long as I felt his member enter slowly. It was inevitable in the face of the explosion of sensations within me.I moved very slowly, silently indicating that he could start his thrusts. He withdrew his cock and entered again, starting a slow rhythm without any desire to end that connection too soon.I

We had ended up in the middle of the bed, embraced and sharing body warmth on that freezing January night.I had laid my head on his chest, attentively listening to the beating of his heart, turning into music for my ears with each passing second, while we whispered about trivial things, with no desire to sleep just yet."Why did you study medicine?" he asked curiously, while stroking my hair with his fingers."Because I can earn a lot of money," I chuckled softly, with him joining in without a hint of annoyance at my premeditated response, as that decision hadn't been so random after all."Yes, but that's not the real reason.""It doesn't matter too much if I tell you now," I whispered, showering sweet kisses on his chest, indicating without the need for words that it was another secret I preferred to keep hidden from him for the time being. "It's a foolishness that no longer has relevance, Jack."He sighed deeply, reluctantly accepting my words, keeping his demeanor completely seren

Upon waking up the next day, it was a bit strange to find a sleeping Jack wrapped around me as if I were his teddy bear.My heart skipped a beat seeing his angelic face inches from mine.I carefully got out of bed, trying not to disturb his slumber, but before I could tiptoe my way to the bathroom, one of his hands grabbed my wrist."Where are you going?""To take a shower," I answered, smiling sweetly as he yawned and stretched on the bed like a little kid. "Remember, we have to work?""We can skip it for today," he mumbled drowsily, pulling me gently towards him. I sat on the edge of the bed, allowing him to wrap his arms around me and rest his head on my legs, looking too comfortable. "I'm the boss, and you're my faithful servant, so let's just stay home.""This is not your home, Jack.""From today, it might as well be," he declared, his eyes half-closed, ready to go back to the sleep he had interrupted. Noticing my lack of reaction to his suggestion of spending another day togethe

"We had a rough start, Cody Candles, but I think I have a big enough heart not to hold it against you," Jack whispered, intensifying that friendly handshake."How do you two know each other?" Nia murmured, too interested in revealing what everything had truly started with."Do you remember the thief who snatched my wallet eight years ago? Well, that was him.""Really?" she exclaimed, amazed. "How did I not know?""I'm retired; now I'm a man of the Lord," Cody smiled as he recalled it, shrugging calmly as if the matter weren't as relevant to Nia. "I sweat pure holy water.""You guys are too noisy!" I complained while finishing setting the plates for each one all by myself, as Jack was engrossed in conversation with those two.Nia opened her mouth to say something more, but then, her phone started ringing frantically in the pocket of her pants. She took it out hastily, and her expression matched the urgency upon seeing the number on the screen."Ryan? What's going on?" she whispered anx

He stopped in front of us with his hands in the pockets of his gown, and when our eyes met, I could see he had bad news to deliver."We," I stammered, tears filling my eyes."Excellent, Doctor Wolfang," he said, surprised at the size of my family. "Can I speak privately with you about this matter?"I had to entrust Brooke to Cody, who sat with her, sharing stories that she loved and that always cheered her up.I walked with Dr. Sparks in complete silence, leaving the others behind with misconceptions swirling in their heads, adding to their distress."What's going on?" I asked as we stopped at the emergency reception, where only nurses were attending."We need to operate on her heart immediately.""How serious is she?""She has a blockage in several coronary arteries, causing her heart to not receive enough blood. One of them is too blocked. Coronary artery bypass surgery will improve blood circulation to the heart, allowing oxygen and necessary nutrients to reach it.""So, what's the
