2024-10-29 19:42:56Monica Clayton looked at her laptop and sighed.
"I'm an evil person." she said aloud.
Nothing was wrong with the laptop. She knew that. And yet she had made Emma call Tom to come take a look at it. Emma told him Monica was trying to access the internet to check out some new recipes, and she couldn't.
Monica knew it was weird. But she couldn't think of any way she could ask the man on a date. This plan would just have to work.
If this whole stupid plan went to hell.
And if this Tom guy turned out to be a jerk, someone would pay. And that someone was going to be Emma.
It was her idea to ask Tom out, but Emma had encouraged her with all the nice stories she told her about him. She had talked him up a lot. And even when Monica wanted to change her mind asking Tom out, Emma was the one who convinced her she was making a mistake.
So here she was.

He took her hand in his and guided her finger into his mouth, then let his tongue caress it, lingering and tasting long enough to make her panties wet.Monica stared at him, the man knew how to work over a finger. And if he knew how to work her there… Monica slid her finger from his mouth, then caught the look of confusion in his eyes, and she flashed a smile."Thanks," she whispered."For cleaning your finger off?" he asked"Yeah.""Tastes good," he said. "The stuffing, I mean."There was a pause, not exactly an awkward one.Monica suddenly wanted a better feel for his lips. When he kissed, did he use his tongue as well as he did when licking a finger? She wanted to know. She looked at his mouth and tried to imagine kissing him.It was an easy fantasy to conjure.She decided that on their date, if they ever went on one, she would s

Daniel was a distraction.With his beautiful hair and his perfect ass, he looked like the stuff heroes on the covers of romance novels were made of. Put him in a billowing white shirt unbuttoned to reveal his chest, with a beautiful damsel draped on one arm, and he would look right at home.But right here in the office, he was a terrible distraction. In fact, she realized, as she glanced at her laptop and the files on her table, that she wasn't making any reasonable progress.Her attraction to him was slightly bizarre. Once she had thought she was completely immune to the charms of calendar hunks with too-perfect hair. Yet here she was, her girl parts getting all tingly every time he strolled by. And obviously that one time with him wasn't even enough. It had to be the lack of available attractive men in her life. That had to be it... She had been alone to long.He disappeared into the break room, and Emma tried to

"Fair enough." Emma said. "I will let you know when I'm free""Yeah. By six. You better don't change your mind. We have a lot to talk about"He moved closer, invading her professional space and making her dizzy with his too-large presence. As if he understood his effect on her, he glanced at her and smiled. This close, the sheer weight of him became his most obvious and overwhelming attribute.Emma had always found some irresistible lure in the size and weight of men. Their solidity. Their strength. It was a quality that was never more apparent than when a guy was naked against her, moving inside her, all that force and heft and power barely restrained.Emma sighed. If she kept up this line of thinking, she would definitely end up doing something she would later regret. Like invite Daniel to be her own personal muse for the night.Emma discreetly tried to wipe away the film of pe

Daniel led Michelle into his office.It had been a while since he had seen her and they had been a thing before. She had filled a need, but that was a while ago. That was before he met Emma and somehow she had obliterated every thought of another woman right out of his mind. He had never wanted to be with just any woman the way he wanted to be with her. Which surprised and sometimes scared the hell out of him.The past three weeks had been hell for him. He had wanted so badly to drive to her apartment and demand to know why she had pushed him away after they had spent such an amazing night together. What ever it was between them, he knew she felt it too. He just didn't understand why she did every thing in her power to push him away.It was funny. He thought. Funny how the tables had turned. With the other women he had been with, he always the one who ended things. He was the one who was in a hurry to get out of the bed the next mor

"Have you even thought of what people will think? Michelle asked, putting one hand up as though to ward off an outburst."That didn't seem to be a problem when I was with you" he replied"Ours was different." she said. "We didn't have to work so close to each other...As you well know, I didn't say anything to the manager, of course, but can you imagine if I had told him you weren't there because it was more important to be with that...tart? A faint flush of pink stained her face. "Can you?""I can". He replied calmly."But you don't care, do you? It doesn't really matter to you what people think. You lock yourself away in your own world, and nothing or anyone else exists"Daniel stared at her, wondering where the hell all this was coming from. She had been fine with ending their relationship back then."Look Michelle," he said. "I think we both knew it wasn't going to work out betwe

She realized she liked him a lot.Decked out in her new green sweater, black leather skirt and matching boots, she had dressed to get laid tonight, and, judging by the way Tom had stared at her throughout dinner, she was well on her way to achieving her goal.But… But what?She tried to dismiss any negative thoughts. There were no buts. Everything was fine.There was a time when she wanted to be single. But she was done with that now. She knew what she wanted now.

Was she really having this conversation with this man? Monica thought. This man who she had once said wasn't her type. This man who she had once said was too nerdy for her. If she had known she would enjoy a date with him. She would have asked to go out with him a long time ago."Wait a second," she said, then went in search of a box. In the pantry, there it sat. A box of four flavored syrups.She grabbed it and tore open the packaging, then placed each bottle on the counter next to Tom.French vanilla, mint chocolate, hazelnut and raspberry."Which one do you want to try first." she asked."Honestly, I don't want any coffee." he said"I don't mean in coffee. I mean, try on me." she said smiling, thinking of all the things she wanted to do to him."Try on you?" he repeated. This woman was something else. Tom thought"

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...

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.

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.

"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
