Chapter: HOT AND BOTHEREDCHAPTER 11:HOT AND BOTHERED.*SOPHIA*"Can you.... sleep here tonight?If you want to...that is. I just want you to know that I won't force you into anything again, I can wait until you're ready to accept me"He stuttered like a teenager.I nibbled my lips.God!He doesn't picture me ever leaving him.And I almost did today.He's comfortable with me because he thinks I'm the only person who wouldn't think of crushing him.What am I going to do?I don't want to hurt him more than he already is.I smiled trying to cover up my inner meltdown."I will spend the night here but I have to change""Change into something of mine.If you go to your bedroom,you might change your mind"He retorted.I'm starting to feel hot......hot for him.I nodded."The dressing room is that way"I walked into the dressing room and looked around.Damn!He has so many clothes.

Chapter: HIS DEMONSCHAPTER 10:HIS DEMONS.*SOPHIA*I have no idea what I'm doing but I know I won't be at peace with myself if I leave him in this condition.I hurriedly dropped my phone in my bedroom.....Raul was calling.'I'm sorry,Raul.Maybe we could leave another day'I don't even know what excuse I would say to him.Walking back to Damien's door,I lifted up my hand to knock but I know if I knock...he would quickly arrange his things and think of a cover up story before opening up for me.Bending the doorknob,I walked in to find him leaning against the headboard.The syringes are still on the floor.He looked surprised to see me as he quickly sat up to take care of the mess."I'll do it"I offered."I can do it....If you need something, could you excuse me for a second... I'll be with you shortly"Why does he love shutting people out?"I want to take care of this....where do you put them?"I asked.

Chapter: THIS BROKEN MANCHAPTER 9: THIS BROKEN MAN.*DAMIEN*"You don't need to understand anything.Ana,you ain't related to me and even if you are,you opinion doesn't matter in my life so stop crossing your boundaries"I warned and walked away.I found Sophia in the dining room already eating dinner.For a moment,I just stood by the door, watching her as she ate.Everything about her fascinates me to the core.The way she handles the cutleries....the way her throat flexes as she swallows."Good evening"She greeted without staring at me."Evening...how was your day?""Fine,I guess"She snapped."I got you something"I announced stretching the bouquet to her.She stared at me then at the flowers as if contemplating whether to accept it or not."I hate flowers"She replied.That kinda hurts.I know she is lying.She doesn't want me giving her flowers."If she hates flowers,you can give th

Chapter: GOOD ENOUGHCHAPTER 8: GOOD ENOUGH.*SOPHIA*The following morning,I awoke to the chink of china rattling and sat up to be served breakfast in bed on a tray complete with a linen napkin and a pretty flower in a bud vase.'So,this was what it's like to be spoiled'I thought, ruefully, pushing my wild tumble of black curls out of my eyes as the smiling old lady chattering in broken English opened the curtains and threw open the doors onto the balcony, inviting fresh air and sunshine.Staring at the pancakes,I discovered that I was ravenous.I didn't have the appetite to eat anything the previous day.All I just wanted was to get through that day."Mr O'Connell left already.He said he would be time to have dinner with you"I wish he would just give me space so I don't have to see him at all.But I know I would be asking for too much if I make that request.I don't even know up until when he would wait and not ge

Chapter: ALONECHAPTER 7:ALONE*SOPHIA*"I wish she was given the chance to spoil me rotten"He murmured."I'm sorry,that was so out of line.I....""It's okay."His expression was storm cloud broody and lightning flashed in his eyes."It's late, We've had a pretty long day, you're tired and I am too.We should get some rest"I should be happy that any plans he might have had about taking me is cut off but I feel bad that I caused the look of sadness in his eyes.He moved closer to me.I thought we were going to get some rest."There is no way you can get out of that dress on your own"He said turning me around so that my back was to him.Speechless and feeling as though I was burning up from the inside out, I felt Damien take the zip and slowly pull it down....all the way until the knuckles of his fingers touched the bare, sensitive skin just above my buttocks.My hand grasped my dress to my chest.Burning all

Chapter: TOO FARCHAPTER 6:TOO FAR.*SOPHIA*"Dear all,we are gathered here today to celebrate the nuptials between SophiaMonteiro and Damien O'Connell.If anyone has any objection as to why these two individuals should not be joined in holy matrimony, please speak up now or forever hold your peace"The priest said, solemnly.Every woman's dream is to walk down the aisle to the man she loves.... prepared to share the rest of her life with him.I'm the romantic type and I swear I never pictured myself forced into a marriage of convenient.My only comfort to this is that I know that it isn't forever."I object"I'm surprised at a woman's voice.Slowly,even though I tried to stop myself from doing it,I turned around.It felt like one of those slow motion scenes in movies when something horrible is going to happen.The heroine is only ever in time to turn around with a scream and shout "No" in that slow motion voice that sound

Chapter: How dare you?CHAPTER 10Xavier got into his car and shut the door."Sorry for keeping you waiting, I was on the phone with my PA, being away from work for a week is a big deal"He explained but saw her nodded weakly.He stared at her face,she looked pale and her features seem restless.Amanda held her stomach and rested her head on the dashboard."Are you okay?"Xavier asked, concerned.She sighed deeply.He placed a hand on her back and she tried not to react to his touch else it would ruin her pretense."What's wrong?""I'm on my... you know, I'm in that time of the month"She choked out.Xavier's teeth clenched.Why now?He had already pictured her on his bed tonight.But then he certainly couldn't bed a woman who was in pains."Your cramps seem really bad, I know of a hospital nearby"Abruptly, Amanda's head snapped up."I don't need to go to a hospital"She retorted.He glanced at her,she placed her hand on her stomach a

Chapter: A good actressCHAPTER 9The following morning at breakfast, Amanda felt gritty-eyed after a restless night.Xavier, however looked as fresh as a daisy."I thought you might like to come around the estate with me today....get a proper feel for it,we can go on horseback"Amanda's tiredness subsided instantly, and her cowardly heart starting beating fast picturing them on the horse that day but today,she wanted to have a ride separately."Okay.That sounds nice"A couple of hours later,astride a huge horse, with a wide hat on her head, following Xavier,she knew nice didn't do it justice.Amanda couldn't help a burgeoning feeling of something scarily like joy from expanding her chest as she rode slowly on her horse.Just then, Xavier stopped his horse and looked back.He sat with easy grace in his saddle,lean and awe-inspiring.Black jeans moulded to hard thighs muscles.Amanda gripped her reins hard.She'd been avoiding looking at him ever since she'd watched him swi

Chapter: Trepidation at its peakCHAPTER 8Amanda took a deep breath trying to calm herself down, she was trying so hard to behave like her sister but she couldn't control herself,she hadn't been with a man who evoke this weird desires in her but this had to stop.She yanked her hand away from his."I don't know what you're talking about"He smirked."Does it make any sense that I can no longer see you as the spoilt brat that you are"Amanda scoffed getting fed up with his arrogance,she didn't care if Alisha loves him or not but right now,she had to speak up her mind."The world doesn't revolve around you, Xavier.You make me sick.You've been handed everything your whole life,been pampered and waited on hand and foot.....""Shut it!"He thundered, angrily.A discreet cough sounded nearby and they both turned around to see a uniformed man waiting."Signor and Signora Da Silva, your dinner is served.If you'd like to come through to the dining room......""You're wrong,you

Chapter: Tension CHAPTER 7When Amanda emerged from her room a little later,her belly was in knots.A woman was leading her out of her room,she said Xavier was waiting for her at the terraced area at the back of the resort.Why wouldn't he just allow her to stay in her room all through the honeymoon, she didn't want to be alone with him but she couldn't say no to that either,he was sticking to his words of giving her space for a week and avoiding him totally would only make he suspect something.And as hard as it was to admit,she really enjoyed his horse riding lessons, though it had ended in a confusing way.After warning her not to look at him in a way she really didn't understand,he helped her out of the horse,then walked hurriedly away leaving her with a disturbing question.'What way did she look at him?'Now,she had changed into a loose-fitting wide trousers and a similarly loose top.She felt covered up and safe, unaware of how the luxuriousness of

Chapter: Her eyesCHAPTER 6Xavier grimaced."Don't worry.I'm not enough of a masochist to seclude us to a desert island just yet. I just thought you might want to see what you would have lost if you were stupid enough to try anything yesterday.The paradise resort would be a perfect place for our honeymoon. And besides, I really need to put things in order before your mother takes over"Amanda felt a little winded, and then all sorts of nebulous feelings rose up.What could she say? She would love to see the resort.But going there with him which he tagged as a 'honeymoon' was making her feel nauseous.After a few minutes, Xavier left the dining room to get his things ready.Amanda stared at his meal which he hardly touched,on a norms,she would have wanted to eat it too but the trip ahead had made her lost her appetite.She stood up and started to clear the table."You don't have to do that,ma'm"A maid said walking in.Amanda sighed and walked towards the door."Sir Xavier

Chapter: TrepidationChapter 5Xavier's fingers halted on his buttons.Intense irritation spiked through the burn of desire rushing through his blood.All he could see was the woman standing before him, her pale shoulders bare, gleaming in the dim light.The delicate swells of her breasts were tantalizingly visible just above the bodice of her dress.Something caught his eyes and he looked down to see her twisting her hands.He breathed deep, sensing a delay in having his needs met.His suspicion that his wife was playing the game of a tease made him grind out."Alisha, what is it?"The confidence and fiery bravado that he had become used to was gone, and suddenly,she looked very beautiful.... very untainted.Something clenched in his gut but he quashed it.She was acting..... testing her control over him.That was all.He certainly wouldn't give her any reason to think that he desperately wanted her....because desperate was a strong word to him.Amanda bit her lip,her eyes darti
