Harry looked at Hiram, hoping he would say that his wife was exaggerating, but the man brought her hand to his lips, touching her skin gently, and smiled. "She knows me better than anyone," he added, as if sharing a secret, and everyone laughed.
"Harry also loves Dickens, Uncle," the girl observed, knowing that while everyone had their sports preferences, they shared a great passion for literature.
"No way!" The older man doubted. "Young people are interested in the old and good literature still?"
"My grandfather has a large library at home, and fortunately, he made my cousin and me read several classic works, and I ended up liking some of them a lot. I've read Great Expectations more than once... and also Oliver Twist. I didn't like Bleak House that much, not to say that I love everything I've read from him, but, on the other hand, probably The Old Curiosity Shop is the book I've read th

On Monday morning, Lily entered Kath's office with an agenda in hand to consult the boss on how to proceed with some important matters. They discussed visits from suppliers and buyers, interviews the CEO needed to conduct to expand the design team, routine meetings with shareholders, and more. Lily knew the schedule was packed, but Kath didn't seem to mind."Do you have some invitations? Want to see them?" The blonde asked, part of her duties but expecting the usual response of thanks and apologies for not being able to attend.Kath wasn't the type of CEO who enjoyed events, but it wouldn't hurt to try this time."What are the events this time?" The question itself was a surprise, even though Kath didn't take her eyes off the computer screen. The fact that she asked about the event was great."There's a wedding, a baptism, a birthday, and two charity galas. One of them is for that institution for people with special needs, to which you donate every year. They called several times aski

The following days were hectic, with several visits from Kath to Mercedes' atelier. She ended up accompanying both her friends, Kitty and Harmony, and Lily and Cora. Kath decided to gift Cora with an invitation as well. Harry and Samuel also sought the stylist's expertise to buy their gala outfits. Only Dean and Brad went alone to try on their clothes, with the generous boss covering the rental costs.Kath didn't have friends who hadn't already been invited to the gala. Her security personnel, secretary, and housekeeper were the people who had been part of her life the longest. Although it might seem strange for a young millionaire, she had no problem spending more time with them outside of working hours. Having experienced hardships herself, perhaps even greater than theirs during part of her life, Kath valued their company.On the big day, the nine of them split into two cars and headed to the event. Harry was grateful that Kath hadn't rented a limousine. He already

User!"I should be offended because I'm one of the party organizers. Artie Abrams," he remarked, extending his hand to the blonde, but not limiting the greeting to a handshake. Instead, he brought her hand to his lips in a very seductive manner, he had to admit. Any woman in this situation would undoubtedly have had her panties soaked."Kitty Wilde," she smiled back, impressed by his gallant gesture. The man was undeniably attractive."BUT I agree that this is a bit old-fashioned." He winked, making the girl blush, noticed by Kath. "And I know of a party happening after this one, at a rich lady's penthouse... and they say her parties are anything but boring. If you want to go, I can get all of you in."Harry and Kath exchanged glances while Kitty insisted that they would obviously go. They smiled at each other, conspirators, deciding not to spoil the plans of others. Besides, they wouldn't mind extending the night themselves with friends at a high-profile party.

During the months following the ball, Harry and Kath lived like any normal couple, making plans that now included the once feared marriage and babies. The official proposal hadn't happened yet, but it was only a matter of time and creating the right atmosphere, as the young man had already ordered the engagement ring. The peace and harmony between them had only been disturbed for a moment when Harry tried to be a bit more dominant in bed, and she reacted like a frightened child."Don't question it, baby. Just do it!" During a Sunday afternoon they spent in the secret room, he had done nothing but speak, in a mockingly authoritative tone, two or three sentences like this, which she normally used. However, the effect had been explosive!"Let go of me!" She had suddenly shouted, pushing away from him and running out of there. Harry had been extremely scared by her reaction, even more so when he found her room locked and had to spend minutes knocking on the door, pleading

Harry nodded, but didn't disguise the fact that he was leaving rather annoyed. He asked Lily to let him know immediately when Kath was alone again, and spent the next forty minutes in his office, pacing back and forth, rubbing his face, trying to convince himself that this Darren wasn't an ex-submissive of Kath's, or even an ex-boyfriend she was hiding. The two of them had looked at each other with love! Or was that just his jealousy talking?"What kind of joke was that, huh?" He said, entering her living room without any introduction. "A guy comes in here, who I've never heard of, and you tell me to go out and talk to him? All this 'you look beautiful' over there, 'you look wonderful' over here! You completely ignored me! Who is he? You still have feelings for this guy... don't you?" He spoke, much louder than he was used to and without stopping."Harry? Harry!" She tried twice, three times, raising her tone as well, trying to catch his attention, but he just kept going,

On the very day that Darren was injured, the greatest tragedy of their lives occurred when Mrs. Gleizer Westwing decided to take action for the first time. She needed to take her son to the hospital, so she tried to leave the house but was stopped by punches, slaps, and kicks from her husband. Timothy, less experienced and impulsive, grabbed a gun that his father kept in the living room cabinet and accidentally fatally shot his stepmother.It was with this image of men that Kath had grown up, and she had promised herself with such strength that she would not let anyone subjugate her if she ever managed to escape. This determination to control others had become a part of her. Even after moving in with the Beauvoirs and witnessing the loving relationship between Abby and Hiram, Kath did not change her perspective, always thinking that behind closed doors, he was not as affectionate as he seemed. After so much senseless violence and cruelty, Kath couldn't believe in love until s

Harry told Kath that he was going up to the building's terrace to get some fresh air while she spoke with her brother on the phone. He climbed as quickly as he could and barely made it there before allowing the tears he had been holding back to flow down his face. After the initial shock and a barrage of questions racing through his mind, he felt an immense pain hit him with full force. However, he forced himself to maintain maximum composure because only by staying emotionally steady could he try to help the woman he loved so much.Hearing her ask if everything was okay between them hurt even more because it was tough to know that, on top of everything she was going through, she still feared losing him, when he had never been at risk. It was true that she had hidden something important from him, but it was also true that he already knew something serious had happened in her past, that she had tried to explain everything, and that he himself had prevented her from doing so.

They spent a good part of the late afternoon and early evening in her room, making love slowly. They also talked a lot about her childhood and adolescence, details of which Kath could now share without having to omit information that would reveal her false identity and the problems she, Darren, and their mother had faced. Harry was even more affectionate than usual, pampering his girlfriend in every way he could, preparing a bath with aromatic salts and a special snack for her, and not allowing her to lift a finger during the entire time."I feel like a queen, and I would love all of this if I didn't think you're acting like this to console me, unnecessarily." She said, entering the room after the bath, drying her hair, still in a robe. "I'm not that weak, my love." She added, kneeling on the bed near him, who hugged her around the waist."Kath, I..." He felt a lump in his throat but didn't want to cry again, so he controlled himself by holding her even tighter in his

The games of domination and submission, of pain and pleasure, in the secret room, became a constant in the couple's life after that day. Not because Kath needed control, in business, in the home, in life or in sex, but because they liked it, because it was really, really intense and pleasurable to fulfill fantasies and test limits.It wasn't because they had become parents that things were over, but because they were still young, and having children, a family, only showed that being submissive and a slave was a thing of the bedroom, and apart from that, they were a normal couple.Not because either of them needed to be someone they weren't when they were out of there, wearing masks and disguises, but because they could simply play with some of the many facets of their personalities, which were intimate and private, which belonged only to the two of them.Not out of fear or necessity, but by choice. Because they discovered together that, between four walls, anyth

"To taste your lips was a dream come true. To taste you was the best thing I've ever felt in my life." A shiver ran through his body from head to toe, and his hands took a firm hold of my shoulders, squeezing them. It felt like an electric current was running through both of us, from one body to the other without stopping.He blindfolded Kath, offering her pâtés, creams, cheeses, jellies, liqueurs, and massaged her entire body with aromatic, warm, edible oil, which he tasted himself, kissing, licking, biting, sucking, until the last drop was mixed with his own saliva."I'm going to put you to bed." She looked at the huge bed and then at me."What do you want to do to me?" she asked rudely."I intend to make you come. May I, Mrs. Winston?" She gave me a small smile with the corner of her lip."If I tell you to stop, you will!""Of course. " I replied.I took her on my lap and she wrapped her legs around my waist.

Minutes later, she was playing at chasing him, while he pretended to attack her like a cornered animal, which was perfect for them to be in the positions of dominator and dominated, even if he left her in control most of the time.Slowly, he turned to face her, wanting to get a better look at the clothes she was wearing, if they could be called that. Kath was wearing pieces made of glossy black leather, which shone brighter than the black dye on my Bugatti, and a beautiful bodice covered her full breasts, compressing them, and tightened her waist, making her look even slimmer. A thong was all that covered her intimacy. On her arms, black latex gloves went up to just above her elbows. Leather boots went up to the middle of her thick thighs. The heel was so high that it seemed to cause pain to her ankles. She looked stunning, even dressed like a sadist.The deep red lipstick on her thick lips reinforced this image. Her long blonde hair was straight and flowed dow

"Date, but date someone who is as horny as you are. Never allow the flame of passion to cool, renew your relationship day after day. One of the advantages of having a relationship in which the flame of passion is still burning is that you can send - love fuck me - at any time of the day, night or dawn, and the person will do anything to get there as soon as possible."PedricovickEven though Kath had shown her weaknesses to him over the years, Harry had never stopped seeing her as determined and brave. Perhaps he even considered her stronger today, when the woman he had once seen as a female in heat, surrounding the male and putting him at her mercy, had turned into a lioness surrounding her cub, making sure that nothing could get to her or miss her.For the time being, however, both Kyra and Chase would still need a lot of care and direction for some years to come. They were children of just over three and one years old each, full of energy and curios

Now, she was officially a Winston, and had a real family, something she felt inside, and was part of.The happiness inside her couldn't fit inside her chest; if she could, she'd want to shout out to the whole world how happy she was.Kath and Harry's wedding in the small church with only a few guests was a testament to the strength and depth of their love, celebrating not only the commitment they made that day, but also the whole journey that had brought them there.

Kath knew she had good friends and that the Beauvoirs considered her a member of the family, but she still couldn't imagine receiving even a small part of the love that awaited her when she returned. Relief and joy could also be seen on the faces of people like the groom's grandparents, Samuel and Artie, and employees like Lily, Cora, Dean, Brad and Kevin, who had fortunately remained working for Harry or the company. Most people weren't content with just paying a visit, so the couple's apartment remained full of people at all hours of the day for over a week.Kath's return took everyone by surprise, but at the same time as questions arose, friends and family were happy to know that Kath and her brother were fine, and it was all just a big scare and a nightmare, which ended.As soon as they returned to civilization, news of the engagement spread among friends and family, bringing joy and happiness to all who witnessed Kath and Harry's enduring love.Then

Harry and Kath's reunion was marked by intense emotions, a mixture of joy, relief and love.Harry held the woman he thought he had lost with special care, as if he feared she might slip out of his arms at any moment."My love!" He spoke, pulling away to look at her face, caressing every bit of it, as if to make sure it was real. Like him, she was much thinner, haggard and with dark circles under her eyes that her make-up couldn't completely disguise, but she was still beautiful, illuminated by the late afternoon sun."I'm sorry for the pain I put you through." She begged, wetting his fingers with tears."You don't have to apologize for anything, Kath. I'm just glad to have you back," Harry whispered, as he hugged her tightly. His words were a balm to Kath's heart, and she felt grateful to have such a true love by her side.The intertwining of fingers and the tears that marked Kath's face were silent witnesses to the suffering they had both endured
