"I know you are not" He said as he poured out two glasses of wine and handed it to her. They went back to the living room.
Emma looked at the newspaper strewn couch, gathered the papers together, and stacked them neatly on the floor.
"I know you are not afraid of me" he said softly as he handed her a glass of wine. "But I wonder if you know how much you scare me. Here sit down". He patted the couch cushion next to him. "The moon is bright enough tonight. We don't need this." He clicked off the lamp.
Emma took a quick swallow of the wine and sat down on the end of the couch. She watched shadowy leaf patterns play on the carpeting, highlighted by the glow of the moon, and took another sip of wine.
" Take it easy on the wine, my lady. We don't want you getting amorous." he said

When Emma woke up the next morning, the first thing that registered was how comfortable she was. Too comfortable. And warm. They were in Daniel's room. On his bed.The second thing she realized was that she was on top of Daniel. Not just on top of him, but sprawled across him as if she owned him. Her cheek was plastered to his shoulder and her forehead pressed against the side of his neck.Appalled that she could betray herself like this, she started to ease away but Daniel tightened his arm around her."Don't go." he said." This is nice."But Emma sat up anyways. She stared at him."did we...?" she began to ask. But he interrupted."No we didn't" he answered. "jeez... what do you take me for Emma?""I'm sorry... I didn't mean to""it's okay". He said. "I guess you should go get ready. So I can take you back home."

The days passed slowly, the nights increasing Emma's restlessness. Was it really that slow? Emma didn't think it was. It only seemed that way because she missed Daniel. And the fact that she missed him so much scared the crap out of her. She was actually looking forward to his return. So much for all her 'I don't care about you speech'.She missed him. Not that she was ready to admit that to him. Hell...she was having a hard time admitting it to herself.It was Tom's birthday. And even if he said he didn't really celebrate his birthday, Emma had baked a two layer chocolate cake with strawberry frosting.Even if Tom wasn't going to celebrate. He sure as hell didn't have anything against cake. I mean... What kind of person doesn't love cake? She thoughtWhen she got to work the next morning, a new white van stood in the employees' parking lot, a dealer's tag still on the window. She wondered why it was there. Well it

"I am incredibly attracted to you." He continued. He knew he risked scaring her off, but could be nothing but honest. "I have wanted you since I saw you at Frank's place."This may come as a surprise to you.. But you haven't been subtle about it. You have made that pretty clear to me, Daniel" Emma said smiling."I know" he said. "But I'm still trying to do the perfect first date pretend thing. And I'm being a gentleman"Tension snapping between them, he leaned closer, keeping his voice low and intimate. Raking a hot glance over her, he admitted, "And a gentleman doesn't come right out on a first date and tell a woman he wants to smother her beautiful nipples in sugar and then suck every bit of sweetness right out of her until she's begging to be taken."Emma gasped, but he was too far gone. Both his mouth and his body, which was now rock-hard beneath the table."And it wouldn't h

He took her mouth.Took it as if this same energy inside her gripped him. As though this raw, aching hunger drove him to the same pitch. As if he needed her to match his need or they would both be lost. It was overwhelming and wild and made her tremble, but she didn't even try to slow him down. She didn't care that she couldn't breathe. She wanted more. And he gave her exactly what she wanted.This was the beauty of abandonment. She drew back to clumsily try to undo his buttons? He jerked his shirt open and yanked to free the tail. She swallowed uncertainly, but her hands went to his hot, tawny chest, too hungry for the damp, satin feel of him to let doubt prevail. He made that sexy growling noise as his own hands got under her dress. She jerked in reaction. He pressed her arms up as he peeled the dress away.She wrapped her arms more securely around his neck, shuddering as his chest hair abraded the upper swells of her aching breas

Emma was dying. And living. Flying. Spinning.Both crying in frustration and shouting in pure delight as she climaxed again and again.Over the next hour, as Daniel, with his incredible mouth, his miraculous hands, continued to touch, kiss, taste every inch of her body, she found herself unable to do a single thing but enjoy it. Rational thoughts drifted away. There was only sensation.No decision to arch up when his tongue scraped across her nipple, just a primal need to have him suckle her again. No conscious awareness that he intended to make the most intimate love to her with his mouth, just the shocking delight of it when his tongue slipped between her wet folds and unerringly delved into her core."Oh, God, again?" she groaned, disbelieving as the pressure built, then roared into heat that rushed to every other part of her. She had not known she was physically capable of such continuous delight. The waves kept

Daniel would have loved nothing more than to spend a whole day in bed with Emma. He realized that with his past lovers, he had always wanted to leave right after the sex. Always in a hurry to leave. But this time it was different. It wasn't the same with Emma. This was new. He thought. And he liked it.But very early the next morning, after a full night of the most intense lovemaking of his life, he glanced at the clock by her bed and knew he had to go. He had work to do. He needed to rush home, shower and then get to the office. He was sure she had work to do too.He hated to wake her, she looked exhausted. As she should after all they had done during the night. He smiled. But he certainly wasn't going to leave without saying goodbye. Knowing he shouldn't delay, he still couldn't force himself to do anything but watch her sleep for just a little while longer.Emma's long lashes rested on her cheeks, her beautiful, kiss reddened lip

"Can you please explain this to me?" Karen was saying. "You had the best night of your life with a dreamboat of a man who could give lessons to the god of love, and you told him you never wanted to see him again....or fuck him again... Whichever way you want to put it... Does that sum it up?"Emma, Karen and Monica were at Monica's food truck. They were taking a break after shopping for dresses for the wedding. Emma had just told them what happened between her and Daniel.Emma cast a quick glance around the quiet, truck. "Could you please keep it down, you idiot". She glared at Karen, who, was impeccably dressed, perfectly groomed, not an ash-blond hair out of place. And looking every bit as put-together as Emma felt torn apart."Yes. That sums it up very well." Emma saidKaren rolled her eyes, entirely unrepentant."What do you think, Monica?" Emma asked, "As you can see it is useless ta

Monica was the one who spoke. "Urmmm... So Emma, I wanted to ask you... Is your friend Tom seeing anyone?""Tom Casey?... No he is not... At least not anyone that I know of. Why are you asking... You wanna ask him out?""yeah""Wow...That's new. I remember one time I told you he wanted to go out with you, you said he looked like a nerd. You said he wasn't your type... If I remember correctly... So what happened?""Hey" Monica said. "People change their minds.. Okay?... Especially when certain people start looking hot all of a sudden. I don't know.. Maybe he started working out of something.. I guess""Oh Monica " Karen said. "I really think you should do it""Of Course you do." Emma said. "You know you are the last person anyone should come to for advice because you suck at it""Because I tell people to do what they want?" Karen replied. "You know it's not my fault

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.

"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
