“That’s crazy. What am I afraid of?”
“You might think you’re Miss Thing with your rebel-without-a-cause posture, but you’re not fooling me.”
Emma's lips parted, but no words came out. She wanted to argue with Karen, tell her how wrong she was, but deep down a little nagging voice said her friend might be right.
“You are afraid that if you fall in love, you’ll be the one who gets hurt later. You’re afraid to put yourself out there.” Karen continued.
“So what’s wrong with not wanting to get hurt?” Emma asked. "I'm just protecting myself".
“You’re not living! You have decided to keep yourself locked up in a prison of your own making. You are my best friend and I hate that”.
“No, I mean, it’s not true.” Emma said.

"You know how to fix cars?" she asked."Why are you smiling while asking me that?" he asked."You should answer my question first" Emma said."Fine" Daniel said. I don't know the first thing about fixing cars " he admitted." Now you answer my question.""Well... I didn't need anyone to tell me that you don't"."So you are calling me spoilt.... Again" he said feigning annoyance."Fine... Sorry" Emma said."We should push it out of the way though" he said."Good idea". Emma said. With a flash of her extravagantly gorgeous legs, she got in the driver's side. "You push her back and I will steer".Daniel took off his suit coat and swung it over the passenger side window."Move it over there" he said, gesturing.Emma nodded."Okay, I'm ready" she called out the window.Se

She stopped when she realized she wasn't the only who had that idea...There he was. Almost like she had summoned him by just thinking about him. He turned around and saw her."Sorry I didn't know anyone was out here" she said as she turned to go."it's alright. You don't have to leave Emma" he said."Oh alright... Hi" she said."Hello Emma" he replied."I was kinda tired of being in there so I decided to wander around a bit" she said."Yeah me too". He said. "It's really beautiful here don't you think?" he added."Yeah it is"."So how have you been?" Emma asked because the silence and the intense way he was staring at her made her really uncomfortable."I'm okay" came the reply."I'm sure you're okay. She said." I mean you look okay. Not that I have been watching you or stalking you. I'm just sayin

Daniel held her tighter than he should. Kissed her as if it was his last kiss.Reluctantly, he broke the kiss, looked deeply into her dark, lovely eyes. "Dance with me," he whispered. "One last dance before we head home."Emma nodded, and then she put her head on his shoulder while he circled her with his arms. They moved slowly, weaving together, him rubbing her back, wallowing in the softness of her skin. When she sighed, he let himself relax a bit. Damn, but she felt good.He touched the back of Emma's neck, once again drowning in her warm, soft skin. She looked up at him, smiling, then snuggled back to the crook of his shoulder.Was it possible he deserved her? Dammit, he hoped so. But not because he had money or power. Because he liked her. A lot. More than he'd counted on, that's for sure. She'd done something no other woman had. She had made him open up again. What she didn't know was that she wasn't the only

“Kiss me,” he ordered in a low rumble. “Take what you want—what you need from me. And, babe?”He lowered his head, pushing his thumb past the seam of her lips and into her mouth. Moist heat bathed the tip. “Don’t be gentle,” he growled.Emma studied him, and as he watched her in turn, desire eclipsed the vulnerability that lingered in her gaze. He felt her teeth first, and the tiny sting arrowed straight to his lower body.“Don’t be gentle,” he repeated.Her eyes still on him, she moved the hand on his neck so her fingers encircled the front. She squeezed just as her lips closed around his thumb, and she bit him.“Fuck,” he groaned, the sting arcing through him like a sizzling bolt of electricity. “Baby.”Her gaze darted to the side, toward the front of the car and his driver. “The divide is soundproof,” he assured her, pulling his thumb free and rubbing the dampness over her bottom

Hands grasping his shoulders, Emma eased down his length, and though the drugging pleasure had his eyes nearly closing to savor the tight, smooth fit of her sex, he kept his attention on her.Because nothing—not the rippling clasp of her body, the quiver of her thighs, the sight of her taking him—could compare with the slight widening and darkening of those beautiful eyes.Those eyes conveyed how much she craved him, needed him.Those eyes gave him all of her. And he wanted it all.Except for the very fine tremble of his tautly controlled muscles, he held completely still. Allowing her to claim him at her own pace. Even if each second she took to inch down threatened to send him careening into insanity or orgasm—whichever came first.Finally, she sat on his thighs, and he was fully embedded inside her. And still he wouldn’t free her from his gaze. Not when, in this moment, sur-rounded by her sweet f

"Actually, I came to talk to you." he said."About?""I think I would like to open the wine first. In fact, I think I would like to finish at least one glass before I begin."Emma went to the cupboard and pulled out two cut crystal wineglasses. "Pour away." she said.He found the opener on the first try, and removed the cork with the grace of a sommelier. Before she could truly start to panic, he poured them each a glass."To … possibilities," he said, holding his up."All rightie then," she said, finishing the toast with a clink of crystal. She took a sip. Her tongue did the happy dance, which led to the second and third sips."My God, this is fabulous." she said."Yeah it is."She blinked at him. Wondering what he wanted to say."Don't look at me that way." he said."I'm not looking at you any way

"Talk to me, baby" he said, his voice gentle and coaxing."I don't pretend to understand why you want it this way," she said, "If we are not hiding, we are basically in a relationship. I'm not insulted or anything, I know this is a personal thing for you, I understand that""But?" he asked."But I don't know if this is something I can deal with.""I don't, either. That's why I want you to think about it for as long as it takes. I don't want either of us to get hurt.""I vote for that." Emma said.He smiled again. Touched her cheek with the back of his hand. "I hope the answer is yes, but I will understand a no."She opened her mouth, but she couldn't think of what to say. He had taken her by surprise, and a hundred thoughts tumbled in her head.Daniel took care of the problem neatly by standing up. So he would leave,

The plan had been to make her come. To give her such pleasure she couldn't say no to his proposition. But the more he pleased her, the stronger his own desire became. That's not how it usually worked for him. Not that he didn't enjoy lavishing attention on his partners, but this was different. He needed her to come."Daniel?""Yes?"She turned to him and half opened her eyes. "You asked me what I wanted.""You're right."He left the pleasure of her heat to stand up and take off the rest of his clothes. Grabbing the big lavender towel off the bar behind him, he spread it open between his hands."Come," he whispered.She braced her arms on the tub, then stood, rising like Venus, and he drank in the sight of her dripping and shiny. God dammit, she turned him on.Carefully, she stepped onto the braided rug by her feet, th

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
