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

She retreated silently to the house, where she would later rejoin him. When they were inside, he showed them how to navigate the kitchen. She needed a long, cool drink because it was hot. Observing, she saw him take out two glasses, fill them with fruit juice, and then offer her one."Have you relished the opportunity to bask in the sunshine and open air?""Until the freedom to move anywhere at will is taken away, I don't think anyone truly values the choice to do so." She raised the glass and sipped the cold liquid slowly, observing his every move.On the spacious, partially covered patio, there were several chairs and two sun loungers. Anna went outside and happily settled into one of the loungers. The sun was starting to lose some of its heat, but the house shielded us from the wind well enough that sitting outside was still a delight.As David selected the adjacent lounger, he made the observation, "Your face has regained a little color." She endured his examination calmly."If I

She made the hazy decision that it was heaven, brimming with such excruciating sweetness that she felt like she was melting.For her, it wasn't enough that they kissed. A great deal more. As his tongue delicately retreated from its exquisite stroking dance with hers, she let out a small, despondent groan, as if some hidden part of her knew something she couldn't articulate.For several long seconds, when he raised his head, her huge, quite hypnotic eyes clung to his before the details of his face came into view.Anna saw a glimpse of his restrained intensity, the underlying emotion that clouded his eyes, and something else that was beyond her comprehension. She questioned her ability to speak due to her swollen lips and the extremely sensitive interior of her mouth.She had never felt so delicate or eerily exposed before. Likewise, she raised her left hand to steady herself, but her left wrist sank t

She protested, "It will make me sleepy," as he held up the wine glass to her lips. Putting her lips to the edge where he had been only seconds before seemed very personal. She savored a small amount of the superb Chardonnay, allowing it wine to slide down her throat gently, before washing it down with multiple long sips of icy water.Asking, "Would that be so terrible?"Her eyes widened slightly as she detected a hint of humor in his voice. It would be incredibly satisfying to touch him, run my fingers down his square jaw, and feel the vertical line that cuts across his cheeks. She yearned to, intensely.She wanted his touch nearly as much as she desired the sensation of his lips on hers and his hand molding her bust. An ardent prelude leading into an anthem. With the exception that she doubted her readiness for the series finale.Such irrational ideas posed an enormous threat to her mental stability

She entered the bedroom just as David was tucking a shirt into his pants, and she deliberately avoided looking at him as she made her way to the roomy wardrobe to find an appropriate outfit.As she removed the garments from their racks, she made up her mind to wear black silk culottes, slim-heeled black sandals, and a lengthy white sleeveless button-through silk blouse. This set was perfect for any occasion because it was both practical and stylish.After slipping into the culottes, Anna adjusted them to her waist and, with David by her side, reached for the top.“Is there no bra to fasten?” He asked silkily.“No, no need, the blouse is nicely fitted already.” Her explanation was focused on the top being entirely lined, as she proceeded to close the buttons. His dark, unsettling stare met hers as she raised her head. Starting at her belly button, a whirlwind of sensations spread outward, enveloping her in an irresistible embrace of sensuality. Suppressing her excitement, she kept her

David cupped her face and said, “There is nothing that can make me queasy when it comes from you.”“Your body is where my child grows, and your blood is her blood also.”“Don’t ever think that it is something to be embarrassed about.”Anna smiled weakly at the man before her. ‘How could she not love this man?’David led her to the shower while helping her out of her clothes.He reached out to take the soap, but she said, “Please let me do it on my own, my breast is so sore, and it hurts too much.”“Okay, but let me do your back.” he insisted as he watched her.“We can visit the baby after breakfast.” he said.At this point, Anna was excited to see Selene. She swiftly finished her bath and changed into a wrap-around pink floral dress.They ate their breakfast and went to the hospital after.They were looking at their child through the incubator, she was so beautiful yet so fragile. 'I can't wait to hold her in my arms,' Anna thought. She felt so mesmerized by her. David wrapped his arm

Anna woke up in the hospital the next day. Last night, she had a c-section because of the preterm labor. David was sitting near her. “Is the baby, okay?” She asked weakly. “The baby is in intensive care,” David said calmly. “Oh my God, is she going to be, okay?” concern was evident on her face. “All her vital signs are okay; however, she is in the incubator.” David cupped her face gently. “No need to worry, Anna, her pediatric doctor is a known specialist.” David reached for Anna and hugged her. At this very moment, she wanted to feel his warmth because she couldn't control her anxiety. Then the Doctor came to visit. “Good morning, Mrs. Miller.” She was an older woman with kind eyes. “I’m Doctor Avery Samuel, nice to meet you,” she said. “Nice to meet you too Doctor,” Anna replied. “Can I see my baby?” “Yes, but We had to wait for your OB-GYN, Doctor Ethan's recommendation.” “When it’s safe to move you, then you can visit your baby, but you have to understand that you cannot

Anna dialed a memorized number on her phone.A sleepy voice answered her call, and Anna felt a surge of relief. “Sara? How about lunch?”“I didn't get to bed until three, you impossible person. Must it be today?”“We could make it a late lunch,” Anna persisted and heard Sara's laughing approval.“Name the time and place, and I'll meet you there.”“One-thirty. At the Grove,” she returned without hesitation.They met within minutes of the appointed time and managed, by good fortune to be shown to atable overlooking the fountain. After the serious business of ordering was completed, they settleddown to exchanging news, something which lasted through the starter, and well into the maincourse.“You're positively blooming,” Sara complimented quietly.“Your hair, your skin. everything about you. I couldn't be more pleased everything is working out.”Anna managed a bright smile that didn't fool her friend in the slightest.“Not quite, huh? What's the problem?”“I didn't ask you to meet me

She rose to her feet and gathered the cutlery and glasses, then carried them through to thekitchen.David followed, and she heard him locking the outer doors and setting the security alarm.It was a simple task to load the dishwasher, and she had just finished when he entered the room.He looked over all the powerful masculine: dark trousers, light tan skin, dark hair, in stark contrast to the white shirt. Tall, he almost seemed overpowering, and, while she craved his touch, there was a part of her that cried out against any sexual defeat.She watched as he dispatched food down the waste disposal unit, then dropped emptycontainers into the pedal bin before washing and drying his hands. In silence, he turned andcaught hold of her hand, leading her through to the lounge, and then he selected a slow song.Soft music emanated from the speakers and Anna looked at him speechlessly as he drew her intohis arms.Crazy, she thought, as he pulled her close against him and began to drift slow

“There's an excellent piece you really must see. Expensive, but worthy of investment.” He riffledthrough the catalog pages and brought the item to David's notice, then made his excuses assomeone else demanded his attention.“I happen to like Zhang Hongtu,” Anna protested as David's amused gaze rested on her expressive features.“So do I,” he assured her, and, placing an arm around her waist, he directed her towards a display.“Shall we begin viewing?”Some paintings verged on the bizarre, others resembled caricatures of design over brilliant slashes of color. One, in particular, looked as if a very young child had indulged in a wild battle with numerous pots of multicolored paint.“What do you think?”Anna turned towards David and tried to present a considered viewpoint. After severalseconds she voiced with restraint, “I'd prefer not to answer on the grounds that anything I saycould be overheard, taken into account, and held against me.”“A remarkable nonconformist piece,” David d

“Anna. How are you, darling? Sorry to keep you waiting.”She closed the magazine and rose to her feet with a ready smile. “Michael.”“Your hand? It is still giving you pain?' He drew her towards the far end of the salon and seated her at a basin.“It aches a little.”Michael's personal attention was rare, and Anna, by virtue of being David's wife, appeared tobe one of the favoured few.She wrinkled her nose as he sluiced water over her hair and applied shampoo, rinsed and repeated the process with conditioner, then towelled it dry before leading her to a mirrored cubicle.“Are you able to drive again?”‘The specialist says I can. David would prefer Jacob to continue in the role of chauffeur. Although he has compromised and bought me another car.'“He is being protective, hmm?”“You could say that,” she agreed with suitable dryness.Michael picked up his scissors and comb and went to work. “Don't knock it, darling,” he cautioned wryly.“Men are not usually protective unless they care.

‘Would it ever be any different?’‘Could it be? Sadly, she didn't think so…’Even if she prepares herself for what is to come, she knows that David will also fight for this child to be his. ‘It will be a long battle.’Anna wandered down to the swimming pool and sat in one of the chairs positioned beneath a wide sun umbrella. The sun felt warm against her bare skin, and she leaned her head back and closed her eyes.“Anna? It is eleven-fifteen.”She came sharply awake at the sound of Amy's voice, amazed that she could have lapsed into a light doze. Her hand had swollen slightly and was beginning to show signs of bruising. There was also a degree of pain when the physiotherapist supervised her exercises, a fact which he noted, adding an admonition to be more careful. There didn't seem to be much point in assuring him that it was not self-inflicted.At home, she ate the chicken salad Amy had prepared for lunch, and then she changed into a bikini,selected a book, and wandered out to sit b

When another couple joined them, Anna let out a breath of relief because most of the people were aimlessly wandering from table to table. While the woman had a light talk with Anna, the man—a business associate of David's—began an intense debate with him.Anna glanced at David with a look of surprise as he rested his arm across the back of her chair twenty minutes before they departed.“It is getting close to eleven o'clock.”“Our mission has been accomplished.”“Are you ready to go?” Anna nodded in agreement.Without saying a word more, he had them leave the ballroom and start to lead the way. A number of his friends wanted to talk to him, and while he waited a second to say a few expressions of courteous reply, he did not remain.Anna sank into the leather-cushioned seat and relaxed as David lowered the Bentley to street level, joining the steady flow of traffic leaving the city.It was pleasurable just to relax in the car. The pulsing in her hand had diminished in intensity, and th

Anna caught her breath as David locked eyes with the model, who appeared innocent, in a way that only Amelia could.“Yes, to my great joy.” Underneath the velvety smoothness of his voice, there was no mistaking the steely core.As the guest speaker stepped up to the podium, Anna removed fruit segments from their meringue nest and set the plate aside, choosing tea as the dessert arrived, which was a letdown.Then, a DJ played some tunes in the background and urged everyone to get down on the dance floor. With grace and elegance, Amelia and her partner were among the first to ascend the stairs.She had an air of confidence and sophistication. Anna could tell the model was fully aware of the impact she was making on her partner from the subtle allure of her face.She wanted to know if it was helping David out or not.Meeting his shadowed stare unsettled Anna, who sneaked a peek at him. She blinked when he reached out and intertwined his fingers with hers, and she smiled tentatively becau
