PROLOGUE Pregnancy was a joyous thing they say. A thing to be happy about. But why was I having mixed feelings towards this bun in my oven? I always expected to get pregnant yes, but that was not in my plan when I had slept with him. It was supposed to be a one night stand. It hasn't been in my plans to have a baby. How was he going to feel about this baby? Would he accept the baby? Would I—would we raise the baby together? What was to be expected of me? But still, I didn't regret sleeping with him. What I regretted doing was getting to carried away and forgetting to use the protection. But then the way he had rubbed, licked, sucked...., no Emily, You shouldn't be thinking of things like that. First, I had to get something in my stomach. I stood up, my handbag in my hand as I vacated the shelter of the warm cafe. Whatever was going to happen, I was keeping the baby—my baby.The breeze blew in an alignment into the room as I prepared the outfit I was planning to wear out tonight.
Sticky. Everywhere felt sticky. I moved about, sticking my face into the soft cotton of the bed. It smelled really nice and I inhaled voluntarily as a delicious tingle spread within me like a blanket. The low moan that escaped me couldn't be helped and I continued to move about the bed."I guess you are awake." A deep vice resonated my sweet sleep and I rose, frantically. It was still dark, from the looks of outside, it seemed like it should be around 5am?I remembered this man, of course I did! I wasn't the type to forget everything that happened while drunk. Sadly. I could pass for that right now."Sorry, you are?" My voice was a mutter, coming out rough."The man who saved your drunk ass." He closed the portfolio he had been reading and threw it without care on the desk. That was when my brain finally decided to wake and I gazed around the surroundings. We were in an office. Inside the office was big and cold, a black wooden desk shared an empty common area with the plush looking
"If we are going to get to it, you would have to take a deep breathe and relax. You have to trust me on this, Emma." Gideon's voice boomed huskily in the heated room and I shivered involuntarily. He grabbed me by my waist, moved me across the room and pushed me gently on the couch. His hands came to rest on my nape, caressing me and putting on switches in me. "Take a deep breathe in love, take another out." He commanded, his eyes running a lazy but sexy gaze around my face. I heeded to his command, taking full breathe in and out, and involuntarily causing a raise of my straining breast to clash against his chest. "Yeah, that's it baby girl. Breathe in and out, feel the rhythm, relax. I'm going to take good care of you." With each and every word, he moved closer to me, his breathe fanning my ears with each word coming out of his mouth. And then Gideon did something unexpected and thrilling. He blew air coming directly from his mouth into my ear and unto my neck. Goosebumps like ne
My thoughts were scattered and haywire as I zipped my dress up. My back was twisted and arms turned diagonally to reach the zip point. That, that had been the best orgasm I had, had in my whole entire life and I couldn't help but look forward to tonight. I walked shamelessly past the elevator leading to the entrance of the bar, my hands raised to set up a cab. A long shadow leaned in right in front of me, blocking the early morning sun which was previously reflecting through my eyes. I raised my eyebrow. "I was instructed to get you to wherever you are going ma'm." A deep voice resonated and I blinked twice at the face of the man. His eyes were covered by deep back sun shades, wearing a luxurious suit"I'm sorry, but I don't think I ordered an...." my speech was cut off my the man, "yes ma'am. I know. Big boss ordered me to do so." "Big boss? I don't think I know anyone called that." I spoke, doing a quick survey through my memory."Uhm, the owner of this club, Mr Gideon." I could
Everything was prepared already. I had bathed myself with women perfume, shaved every nook and crannies there was to clear. It's not like he hasn't seen it but still. After making sure the coast was clear, I put myself in a short white gown, accompanying it with light blue earrings. If he wasn't to mind, we could grab some dinner. Panic settled in me, washing and rushing past my mind like a glow of river. What if he refused to come? What if he decided I wasn't worth his time and decided to pass? I mean, he was Gideon. What if breeze blew away the address from the table and he couldn't find it? Something told me though, he would have still been able to track me down. And so I waited, an hour passed, two hours passed. There wasn't a specific time and I thought that maybe I had dresses too early. I had been ready since 6:00pm. And so I went on and on, waiting for the time when he would finally arrive.Like an expected event, Gideon didn't show up at all. I got up from the living room c
"How do you want it? Do you want us to go straight ahead or you need a little time to cool off?" Gideon's deep voice reverberated throughout the entire room. Suddenly, I was nervous and I was beginning to feel sweat trickle into the inside of my palm. Maybe it was because I had canceled all plans of ever sleeping with him in my mind, whatever it was, was resulting to uncontrollable nerves. I pushed my fingers together to try to control my nerves a little. I felt my fingers shake a bit, and I cleared my throat. "I think it'd be better to cool off before diving into it. Except you have somewhere to go?" I asked more of stated.Gideon raised his hands to his chin, he was in a white suit and brown leather shoes. His lips were pinched together in thoughts and I was starting to have wild thoughts about them. Slowly but discreetly, I clutched my heating thighs together, briefly gazing out the window. The horizon of an incoming storm was shaped haphazardly on the sky. Tinges of pink and li
"I know what you want baby," as soon as he spoke, both his hands grabbed my breast separately. He mashed them into his hands and giving them a through massage. My head dropped on his neck, curse words flying out of my mouth at the same time. Slowly, he sat on the couch and I was now seating on his laps. His fingers grabbed both of my nipples at the same time, giving it a soft pinch and I arched on his laps, my hands came out to hold his hands as a result to too much sensations but I had no use for it as his hands were latching into my breast. And so, I placed my hands on his own, following his hands as they managed my breast. The sight alone could have led me to come. Desperate, Gideon turned me around and immediately latched onto my right breast while his fingers toyed painfully sweet with the other. He grabbed my boobs, mashing them together and rushing both nipples into his mouth at the same time. I had now turned into a moaning mess on his laps. "You like that don't you? The way
It had been two weeks. Two weeks since I had last seen Gideon. I had fallen into a normal routine without a memory of Gideon. Except he was still in my head. It was hard really, to forget a face like his, a skill like his. That morning, when he had dressed back into his suit. A silent agreement has been passed between the both of us. We had both agreed, it was going to be a one time thing. We were going to fall back into the life we had before knowing each other. He had placed a long sweet kiss on my mouth, mumbling incoherent words as he left the house and without a goodbye glance. It was the rule. The normal one night stand rule. Maybe I should have convinced him to be my friends with benefits? Would that have quenched the ever lasting hunger of him in me? Gideon followed my every touch. I got so familiar with his cologne immediately I smelt what the same type in the mall, i had jumped at it and picked it. Although it had caused a dent in my pocket. I smiled at the next customer

The police officers arrested Will and Judy on the crime scene and cuffed them. Judy kept apologizing to Gideon while she was taken away by the corps. Emma and Gideon repeatedly apologized to each other as Judy and Will were taken away. After hearing the confession from Judy and Will while she was tied, Emma realized that Gideon had always been innocent and she felt guilty for never trusting him all this while. Both culprits were later tried in court and sent to jail as spelt out by the law. Gideon was glad that the were finally out of their lives and he was thankful that justice was later served. After making up, Gideon and Emma made a decision to start their relationship on a clean slate. They promised to take their time and fall in love even though they've been hopelessly in love with each other. They decided to build friendship first and know each others desires and expectations. As time went on, they went out on dates to luxurious restaurants, visited recreational centers, too
Emma woke up and began coughing out loudly. The handkerchief tied around her mouth was loosened and she could feel how sore her throat was. She carefully opened her eyes. She was seated on a the bare floor and both her hands were tied behind her. She slowly opened her eyes but everywhere seemed to be covered with fog. Emma then spotted a man sitting at a desk looking right at her. She tried to see his face from where he was but she couldn’t. She forced her eyes open and felt that her kidnapper looked familiar. Then the man gradually stood up and approached her. Emma immdeately recognized him and she gasped in surprise. "Will? " she called out to him. He walked closer to her, smiled at her then bent down to where she was on the floor and caressed her face. "What are you doing here? " she asked him looking around the whole place. She was in a place that seemed like an underground. Will immediately broke out laughing and Emma stared at him in confussion. "My beautiful Emma. "
Gideon walked into the office that morning smiling like a high school boy who had just fallen in love. He greeted everyone he came in contact with that morning which his members of staff found shocking. During the usual weekly briefing they have in the office on mondays, Gideon kept smiling throughout the whole period and his staff wondered whether he had found new replacements for the business partners who pulled out. While the weekly briefing was ongoing, Gideon kept thinking about his dance with Emma and the jokes they cracked last night. He was glad she had forgiven him. After he returned back to his office, Gideon made up his mind to invite Emma for lunch in a restaurant of her choice. What if she thinks he was flirting with her? he thought but still decided to try his luck. Meanwhike in the main head office of LIA'S bars, Emma was having goose bumps. She thought of how Gideon held her waist while they danced and she blushed. She remembered resting her head on his shoulder
After the event at the museum, Gideon accompanied Emma to her car and waved at her. Then, he got into his car and his driver Mel took him home. In her room, Judy held her phone, staring at the photo of Emma and Gideon taken at the museum that night by the strange man who walked in. Tears were streaming down Judy's cheeks and dripping on her phone which she was managing to hold still. Her hands were shaking and she was boiling with rage. She felt her heart aching and her head felt as if it was on fire. She began to shake violently. She tightened her fists, hit it against the wall and she began to bleed. "No. " Judy screamed in agony and broke into a torrential overflow kneeling on her bed. She hit the phone on the wall and the screen came off. She tore the book beside her on the bed into tiny bits and scattered it across her room. She placed her back against the wall and cried her heart out. How could Gidoen do this to me? She thought and the the image of them dancing together f
Emma turned to Gideon with her perfectly sculpted eyebrow raised. She walked closer to him. "Why did you do that for? " she aksed him. Gideon immediately grinned at Emma and looked left. She began to smile and Gideon didn't notice her. "I just saved your life ma'am. " Gideon said. "What? " blurted Emma and she giggled. Then she bursted out laughing and Gideon smiled. He loved the way she was laughing. He missed the sound of her laughter. "I miss this. " Gideon told her staring directly into her eyes. "I miss our usual fun filled banter. " he said and Emma nodded. She missed it too. "You remember how I helped you fix your tie that day? " began Emma. "I do. " agreed Gideon with a nod. "I was so tensed and that I day if u recall, I was to sign a huge partnership with DIVINE whiskey. " recollected Gideon. "You were so restless that you forgot how to fix a tie instantly. " Emma reminded him and bursted out laughing."The whole Gideon Romero couldn't fix his tie. " she joked.
After ordering Martin to get the wine from LIA'S, Gideon went back to his office and sat. Judy followed him. "We got the deal Judy. " he told her with a smile. Judy gave a false smile. "Get the necessary things in order. Ensure the best bar tendants are sent there. I'll be present at the event. " Gideon hinted. "Yes sir. " Judy replied and walked out of his office. Judy wanted to ask Gideon what transpired between him and Emma, how he convinced her to sell the wine to him and how he was able to make the transaction quick but she didn't wanted to make it obvious to him that she was anxious. She went back to her office and continued doing the work he assigned to her. Immediately Gideon left Emma's office, she got a phone call from the museum management. "Of course I'll be there sir. " she promised her caller and drove home. Emma stood in front of her standing mirror trying different outfits on her. "Finally. " she said examining the long fitted red dress she held in front of th
"You mean you are going to Emma for a transaction? " Judy asked. Gidoen nodded. "Oh come on Gideon. That woman is after you. " argued Judy. "She will kick you out I bet. " she added. "I might as well try. " maintained Gideon. Judy left his office angrily. What on earth could she do at the moment to stop them from meeting? she thought. Back in his office, Gideon was pondering. If he goes to Emma's office, she might shut him out? he thought. Since she was after his downfall lately, he was sure she wouldn't assist him yet he still felt the need to try. He got up quickly from his chair, alerted his driver and they were soon on their way to her office. As he sat parallel the car, he kept dismissing the thought that was seducing him to go back. If he doesn't prove to the museum management that he could handle the deal, he might never be contacted again and after all the loses he was making lately, he needed this deal to click. "We are here sir. " his driver announced parking the car
Frankie knocked on the door to Gideon's room with a careful sense of uncertainty. "Come in Frankie. " responded Gideon from the outside as if he was expecting him. "Good morning Sir. " Frankie greeted the moment he walked in. "Your breakfast is ready. " he said. Frankie wasn't sure whether Gideon will have the meal yet he tried his luck. Throughout last month, Gidoen had been skipping meals and when Frankie places it for him on his table, he barely touches it. This is as a result of the crises he was having with his business. Since after the accident in the bat tub, Frankie noticed a sense of cheerfulness radiating around Gideon so he decided to try his luck with the breakfast that morning. Gideon was seating on his bed reading a book when Frankie walked in to invite him for the breakfast. "I'll be there shortly. " replied Gideon and Frankie smiled and nodded. Few minutes later, Gidoen had joined Frankie in the living room. "Why don't we have the breakfast together? " suggest
