Crystal came up behind Nathan and wrapped her hands around his waist. She kissed the back of his neck and shoulders and said, “Whatever it is that you’re cooking, it smells delicious.”
“I hope it tastes as good as it smells,” Nathan replied, and even though Crystal couldn’t see his face, she could tell that he was smiling. After a moment, Nathan chuckled, and he said, “I almost forgot that it’s your Birthday! I have a present for you. It’s in my pocket. You can get it if you’d like.”
“A present?” Crystal exclaimed happily. “For me?” After everything that had happened at the bar, she’d pretty much forgotten that it was her Birthday.
“Go ahead!” Nathan laughed and said, “Take a look!”

Crystal shuddered as a wave of pleasure passed over her body. As soon as it passed, though, her senses returned to her, and the reality of her situation numbed her. She had given Nathan a month to prove that he was worthy of being her husband, but almost immediately after he agreed to her terms, she had allowed him to seduce her.Crystal was disappointed by her lack of self-control, and she knew that she needed to get a handle on the situation before it passed the point of no return. After all, it was possible to get pregnant after having sex only once, and the last thing she wanted in her life right now was a screaming baby. And she especially did not want to have Nathan’s screaming baby.When Nathan put the moves on Crystal, he got her juices flowing, but she wanted more than sexual passion and pleasure from a marriage. She wanted love.

Lyla was tall and slim with long, brown hair, medium-sized breasts, and c*ck-sucking lips. She had a trench coat in her right hand, swung over her shoulder. In her left hand, a pair of high heel sneakers hung loosely between her fingers. Otherwise, she was completely naked. She smiled softly, and in a sultry tone of voice, she said, “I’m here. Would you care to invite me in?”“Lyla,” Eric gasped. “It took you so long….”Overcome by lust, Eric dragged her into the room, threw her ont
Crystal looked at Serenity and forced herself to smile, saying, “I’m here. Don’t worry.” Serenity frowned. “What were you thinking about anyway?” she asked.Crystal sighed and said, “I was just thinking about everything Nathan bought for me. If he can afford to buy me such lavish gifts, why do you think he wanted my inheritance? It doesn’t make any sense!”“Perhaps it is you that he is after?” Serenity suggested. “Maybe it has nothing to do with the money.”“That’s ridiculous,” Crystal scoffed, and she faked a laugh to show her friend how preposterous she thought the idea was. “Look at me. I’m hardly anyone’s dream girl!”“I suppose you’re r
Eric reached into the back seat for a bouquet of pale orange flowers that he’d purchased earlier that morning. They were called Juliet Roses, and they were wrapped in vintage brown paper that had been imported from England.Eric watched Crystal cross the street, and he was about to get out of the car when he saw a van drive up alongside her from the corner of his eye. What the hell is going on here? - he wondered. The van stopped, and for a moment, his view of Crystal was obscured, and then it took off like a bat out of hell.At that moment, inspiration struck, and for fear of losing his nerve, Eric didn’t give himself time to think. Instead, he jumped straight into the action.Without a word of explanation, Eric ordered Antony out of the car, and he slid into the driver’s seat. He smashed his foot
“I didn’t fake an accident,” Eric laughed. “I staged a collision, and my neck is in more pain than you could imagine. But it was for a good cause.”Crystal smiled shyly when she heard that. She was a little bit upset about Eric’s trick, but nobody had ever gone to such lengths to get her attention. “Hang in there,” she said. “We’ve called an ambulance. Someone will come in a matter of minutes. I have to get to class, though. I have to go. I can not stay any longer,”Eric saw that Crystal was going to leave, so, while clutching his neck, he jumped out of the car. He stretched out an arm in Crystal’s direction and cried, “You’re not going to let me die, are you?”“You’re not going to die,” Crystal scoffed. &ldqu
Crystal frowned as she waved for the taxi to leave. “You can go now,” she said. “You’re no longer needed.”When the driver heard this, he called Crystal a bitch and drove away. Before he’d gone more than two inches, though, Eric kicked the side of his car.“Who do you think you’re talking to?” Eric shouted. “Not only will I not accept your ride, but I will make sure that your career as a driver is ruined.”“Are you out of your mind?” the driver shouted.“Just keep your mouth shut and move along,” Eric warned. “I’ve already memorized your license plate number.”The driver sighed, shook his head, and drove away. Once he w
Crystal walked out of the VIP ward and into the white marble-tiled corridor. The corridor was very long, and the nurses’ station was at the end of it, around the corner from the elevator. As Crystal approached the corner, she happened to overhear four nurses gossiping. She heard Nathan’s name, so she slowed her pace to hear more.The first nurse had her phone open so that everyone could see a picture of a good-looking man. “Who is he?” the second nurse asked.“Don’t you guys watch the news?” the first nurse scoffed. “He is only one of the wealthiest bachelors in the city! Here, I’ll show you another picture of him.” The nurse swiped left, and a second image appeared.“He’s hot!” the third nurse agreed, “but he’s nothing special
By the time Crystal arrived at the university, she had missed the first class, and the second class was nearly finished, so she waited for Serenity in the cafeteria. Once they were together, they greeted each other warmly, and then a very serious expression appeared on Serenity's face.Crystal frowned and asked, "What's wrong?""It's nothing, really," Serenity replied. "I just keep thinking about the accident. I have this nagging feeling that things aren't quite what they seem. Does that make any sense?""I have the same feeling," Crystal admitted.She wanted to tell her friend about Richard, but she didn't want to make her any more worried than she already was. "Anyway, let's go get something to eat. I don't know about you, but I'm hungry. I feel like a hungry best this
