2024-10-29 19:42:56Emma groaned. Her phone ringing this early morning was so not what she needed. And it better not be a work call. The last thing she needed now was to have to go to work on a Saturday. Besides after getting that account for Reddings plc. They should have let her get some days off.
She picked up her phone and checked the caller ID. It was her mom.
"Hi mom. Good morning" she said
"Hi honey" her mom said. "You sound grumpy. Did I wake you?.
"Yes you did mom. But it's okay. How are you? "
"I'm fine honey. How's work?. Did you get that account you told me about?.
" Oh yes mom. I did " Emma replied remembering the annoyingly irresistible guy the account came with.
"I knew you would get it. You were always such a smart young lady"
Emma smiled. No one believed in her like her mom did. "How's Uncle Ken and Aunt Jen?"
"They are fine. I'm glad

"You better not be changing your mind dear because we are not leaving here without you""relax" Emma said. "I haven't changed my mind. I know how important this kinda stuff is to you.

"You are coming with us""I know I have no choice...Anyone else coming to this thing?" Emma asked"Nah" replied Karen. "Just us."Emma turned to Monica and Tom .. "So you guys aren't bringing any dates or something?" she asked them"Nope" Tom replied. "I intend to just get th

Large hands looped around her waist and urged her to fit closely to the cradle of his lean hips. Long fingers spanned the swell of her hips and dipped low to the base of her spine.Automatically, her hands found his forearms. Hair roughened flesh warmed her fingertips. She tilted her head back to look up at his tanned face. His eyes gleamed down at her as his fingers etched a heated trail up her backbone. One big hand slid beneath her long, tumbled curls to encircle her slender neck. A callused thumb rested momentarily on the throbbing pulse in her throat."Hello beautiful" he said softly. "Here we are.. Again"She smiled. "Here we are" acutely aware of the heat of his body. Somewhere her brain questioned the audacity of her lips and her vanishing inhibitions as her palms sought and found the width of his shoulders.He guided her into an intricate dance routine. When she followed him easily, he said, "I was right. Y

It was Tuesday. By the end of the day, Emma felt like she had walked high voltage lines. She was tired. All she could look forward to was a cool refreshing bath when she got home.Catherine Martin, her secretary knocked on her office door."Come on in" Emma called from within.Catherine walked in. "Mr Barrett called. Said he wants you, Tom and the rest of the crew at Kay Corp. Apparently Mr Rohan wants to meet the whole crew. He's already there."Emma groaned. "But he already met me.. Why do I have to go?"Catherine laughed. "That's what Mr Barrett said. Are you done?... I could finish up for you""No I don't need any help" Emma replied. "You can go home if you are done"She cleared up the papers scattered on her desk. Picked up hand bag and drove away from the office. The thought of seeing Daniel brought back memories of Saturday night. Memories she had been doing

Emma's warning fury returned to full flame. "This so called "matter" better be about something reasonable. Because if you mess with my job, I will yell sex discrimination so loud that these concrete building blocks will crumble" her fingernails raked the wooden arms of the chair. "I'm the right person for this job. Mr Rohan""You sure as hell are right for something" he snapped. " I got a taste of it the other night. You were like hot silk in my arms when we danced, woman. Why the hell did you walk away from me?"Emma felt the blood drain from her cheeks. "Finally you said what you have been wanting to say since. Is this interview over, Mr Rohan?""The interview is over, but you and I are not." he stood up menacingly, then leaned forward to brace his fists on the desk. "Take a note, lady. You and I are not through. I want to know why you walked out?"Emma's head went up; her jaw jutted forward. She jumped to her fee

Emma was super confused.This was not her. It was like some sensational article in a women's magazine, headlines plastered on the cover in bold red letters to sell more copies. She had always thought a contact orgasm could never really happen. That it was no more than fantasy and fiction.But it had just happened. To her."Oh God...." She groaned and turned away. "I'm so embarrassed" she said"Why?" He laughed quietly. "I'm not"She hid her face in his shoulderHe sounded like had just saved the world.He gently forced her head away from his shoulder with both hands.Her nose was somewhere near his chin. She had no choice but to look at him.That cocky male look he wore in the golden light made her laugh. She shook her head, still embarrassed.Emma noted the redness tinting Daniel's cheeks, the stubble covering the jutting lin

Emma fumbled with her key, poked it into the ignition, and turned it. The engine revved and she reversed, careless of Daniel's jump from her car's path. She clamped a hand over her hair to keep it from flying out the open window. All she needed after a long, hard day filled with work was a sexy, possessive, chauvinistic boss who wanted her in his bed.Gravel spun away from the rear tires as she left the lot. The man reflected in her rear view mirror stood, feet apart, hands braced on lean hips, his smug grin widening.Emma shook. Her insides barely unknotted as she met the first curve. She took it with a squeal of tires, her knuckles white on the steering wheel. The rear end of her car fishtailed, and when she came out of the curve, a dark green sports car was closely following her. Her mirror caught the flash of white teeth and the sheen of black hair.The image stayed in the mirror as she drove home and pulled into the driveway. T

"So my sister called this morning.. She and her son Chip will be coming to visit me". Emma said to Karen as she prepared for work."Oh cool" said Karen. "how long is she going to stay""Just the weekend... Chip has to go to school. I haven't seen them for a while so she decided to come over". Emma said as she put the eggs she had been stirring into the frying pan. "although I have a feeling mom sent her. To check up on me.""Uh uh" said Karen"So I might not be around when she gets here so I'm gonna leave my key at Frank's place. Just in case you are not around to let them in with yours""Uh uh" Karen said again."Is everything okay?" Emma asked her. "You seem distracted ""Oh I'm not distracted.. I'm not distracted at all" Karen said. "I was just wondering, isn't there something you wanna tell me?""something... Like

Emma was putting the house in order. Her sister Isabel was coming over today and she was obsessed with every part of the house clean. Emma was fairly neat, but Isabel's kind of neatness was over the top.Karen came into the living room "Hey girl... Guess what happened last night?" she said without greetingEmma stared at her. "You look super excited. And you know I will never be able to guess right so just spill"Karen replied by raising her left hand. On her finger there was a beautiful ring."Oh my God!" Emma cried. Abandoning her cleaning and rushing to Karen's side. "Frank proposed?""He sure did" Karen said excitedly."Oh and the ring is so beautiful... I'm so jealous...""I knew he was acting all weird about where we were going last night but I had no idea what he was planning...You know Frank can be really weird sometimes.."Emma laughed. "I

Emma stood in front of the bathroom mirror and looked at her reflection.She had a towel around her. After she had breastfed and put Jack to sleep, she and Daniel had returned to their bedroom. And right now, Emma couldn't remember if she had ever been this happy in her life.... She couldn't believe how amazing everything had turned out.When she opened the door and stepped into the bedroom, Daniel was on the bed, his chest bare, reading something on his phone... Which he dropped when she came out of the bathroom.Damn, he thought. She'd never stop being sexy to him. She always and would always have that effect on him.Emma blushed at his reaction, then she went to get dressed. She put on the sexy nightie Karen had given her as a gift for her wedding night.When she turned, Daniel was still watching her. Not bothering to hide the desire in his eyes."Come here" he said.

The door opened and Jared walked into the room. They hadn't really talked since he arrived but he had been nicer, smiled more and very warm towards her... And especially to little Jack.He wasn't so so terribly intimidating anymore. He had turned out to be surprisingly charming. And he loved Jack. His new nephew. He’d perch Jack on his big, broad chest while he read, informing the baby of any interesting movement on the share market.“This boy is a Rohan indeed,” he’d declared one day. "Can’t start learning too soon.”But right now, as he walked into the room and asked Karen and Monica to excuse them so they could talk in private, Emma wasn't sure of what he had to say. After they left, he turned to her and Emma waited for him to speak."You look very beautiful, Emma" Jared said. "My brother is very lucky to have you"Emma smiled sweetly at him

"So I know this probably isn't what I should be talking about right now... But how about we push the wedding forward and get married in three weeks? If you agree of course" Daniel asked.Emma stared up at him."Yeah" Daniel continued. "All three of us are family already. Why wait any longer? There's no reason to. Your mom is going to be here to see the baby, why not invite our families to come see the baby and attend our wedding at once"Emma smiled at him. "Yes. Let's do it" she said. "I gotta say, I like this loving, caring, soft side of you"Daniel simply grinned and leaned down to kiss her again. As he did, the door opened and Karen, Frank, Tom and Monica came into the room."Hey, Daniel" Karen said playfully as they moved closer. "Let my girl rest a bit before you get her pregnant again"Everyone laughed at Karen's joke...including Daniel. "Oh, he's so cute" Karen murmured as t

Dr Davis also treated him with considerable deference as he monitored Emma's labour, assuring them both that everything was proceeding normally.The contractions were coming fast. She barely had time to catch her breath in between the waves of pain. Daniel sat beside her, watching anxiously, giving her his hand to grip, repeating what the doctor said—head engaged, won’t be long, bearing down soon—as though she couldn’t hear for herself, or he needed to assure himself that this agony had a short time limit.Emma didn’t try to speak. Wanting to remember everything about having this baby. Her entire concentration was focussed on willing her baby to make a safe journey from her womb, imagining every pain as a positive step forward. The urge to push came suddenly and was almost uncontrollable.“Not too hard, Emma,” the doctor instructed. "Slow it down if you can, a nice, gentle passage, no tearing. Yes, that’s good…coming now…head in my

"Are you going to the office?" Emma asked as she walked into Daniel's room the next day.Daniel turned to look at her as he unbuttoned his shirt. "No I'm not. I can't leave you here alone. I have a meeting though. But I will be doing it via video call" he replied."You can leave if you have to" Emma said. "Apparently, this baby isn't ready to be born yet"Daniel smiled at her. I'm sorry that you're uncomfortable, baby." He said. " But when the baby comes, you will be so happy that all of this won't matter. You are going to have someone you are gonna love more than anything on the world. Infact I gotta say, I'm little jealous of all the love our baby is going to be getting. I'm so used to having you all to myself now"Emma laughed and her body shook. "Relax" she said. "I'm going to love the heck out of the both of you.

"Oh my God" Emma said to Karen and Monica as she returned to the living room from the bathroom. "That must have been the tenth time I've been to the bathroom in the last two hours""It's also been the tenth time since you have told us" Karen said sarcastically and Monica giggled. They had come to visit Emma at Daniel's house.Emma rolled her eyes. "Yeah, it must be really hard for you to hear" she said.Daniel was in the room too. He sat at another table working on his laptop. But he was clearly listening to them because he giggled at Karen's comment.Emma turned to him and rolled her eyes, which made him laugh."Hey honey" he said to Emma, while smiling. "Is there anything you need me to do for you?""Yeah right. Like you haven't done enough" Emma said, jokingly pointing at her stomach. Daniel simply exchanged glances with Monica and Karen and they laughed again. Emma smiled too.

“How about breakfast in bed?” Daniel asked.“Mmm, that sounds nice. I don’t think I can move and I’m suddenly feeling lazy.” Emma replied.He smiled because he couldn’t imagine anything better than the two of them sharing an intimate meal in bed. Hell, if he had his way they wouldn’t leave the bedroom for the rest of the day.“Let me go fix something up for the both of us " He said. "You stay here and get comfortable. I’ll be right back.”He kissed her nose and then carefully disentangled himself from the warm clasp of her body. He eased her onto her side, pulled the rumpled sheet over her and rolled toward the nightstand, sitting up and putting his legs over the edge of the bed.He glanced back to see that she’d immediately commandeered his pillow, which made him chuckle, because it was exactly what she’d done in the past."What?" Emma asked as she watched him. "Why are you smiling

His breath escaped in a long hiss and then she slid down, resheathing him all over again.“You drive me crazy,” he muttered.She smiled, clearly satisfied with his admission.He savored the feel of her much smaller hands engulfed by his. They held on tightly as she began a slow, rhythmic ride. Their gazes locked. They never looked away, never broke eye contact as she made love to him, driving him closer and closer to ultimate release.Emma expelled a pent up breath as he stretched her, as the sweet burning of her body molding to him became the single thought on her mind.He reached for her breasts and she covered his hands with hers as he massaged her breasts, and she continued rocking her hips in a steady rhythm, tossing her hair over one shoulder, it became a curtain over their hands, over her breast.He loved her hair, she knew that, and he still did, because he took a chunk of it and roped

It was easy to forget all that had happened between them now. It was easy to forget the weeks of pain and loneliness. It was easy to imagine that they’d never been apart and that they had always been together, home in bed, just waking in Daniel's place—their home.This was the healing they needed. Emma smiled into his neck.------------------------------Daniel lay there, Emma in his arms, thinking about what had just happened. On the surface it had been a very quick, very hot sexual interlude. One of the best he’d ever had.But it went deeper. It wasn’t just sex. It wasn't like all the other times they had been together. If it was just sex, his heart wouldn’t feel as though it was going to burst out of his chest. He wouldn’t be so overwhelmed that he had no idea how to process what he felt.It was… It was more intense than sex had ever been between them. They had been a study in hot, flirty, fun in
