I look down to his lips “Its fine if co parenting is your choice”I said.“ Why do you think co parenting is my choice? I asked“Because you dislike me for what I did to you in the past and I can’t tell you not to hate me for this.”I said.“ I don’t hate you, I just feel so hurt” I said.“ So do you want to marry me? I asked.I really meant my question. The trust I was placing in her, the confidence I had in her to carry this through. Couldn’t she see that?I want to add her as my next of kin and make her my confidant.She laughed in a dry, hollow sort of way. “You’re joking, right?”“I mean it. For this to work, I need someone I completely trust. Someone who wouldn’t get nervous, or abuse the position they’re going to be in. As my legal spouse, you’d have more than a little control over my life if you wanted it.”“What? So I could divorce you and take half your money if you pissed me off?”“Yep,” I said, nodding. After all, it was true.Chloe looked at me.“I don’t believe you?” she sa
“ Nothing” he says and didn’t leave my hand, I didn’t struggle as well” He pulls up somewhere not far from the dock. The Toto was beautiful. Gleaming white, it hovered in the water as Alex led me along the jetty. It was a narrow, long craft with a pointed bow and a riotously red racing stripe across its side. He open his palm for me to “What is it?” he said. But his grumpy tone just made me laugh even more. “Toto?” I said, incredulously. “As in, the little dog from the Wizard of Oz.” “I didn’t pick the name,” he said. “Besides,” he added quickly, “it’s bad luck to change the name of a ship. Don’t you know that?” “Aye aye captain,” I replied cheerily, and felt more than a little pride when I heard Alex growl under his breath. I loved teasing him. It had become my way of showing affection towards him. “Come on,” he said. “I thought I’d take you for a spin today.” He reached out a hand, and I took it and stepped down into the hull of the boat. Inside it was more comfortable than I
“NOT SO FAST,” replied Riley. “70 MILES AN HOUR? I CAN GO FASTER IF YOU LIKE?”“NO!” I said. “THIS IS FINE!”As we passed under Brooklyn Bridge and came up by midtown, I felt the boat slowing, and eventually, I saw the prow of the boat bend down as we came level with the water. Completely unfazed by the incredible speed at which we’d been traveling, Riley steered the boat into the harbor, towards a jetty on Manhattan’s side of the East River.Once we’d come to a stop by the jetty, he pulled up a rope by the deck, and looped it into a lasso. He lobbed the knot over the side of the boat, and I watched, amazed by the accuracy of his throw, as the rope landed over one of the capstans on the jetty and Riley pulled it tight. And once again, I savored the view, the curves of his muscular arms and strong shoulders, and felt an amazing sense of triumph at having been carried across land and sea by Lowe.***The car felt still and peaceful after the incredible time on the speedboat. He drove u
We all went in, I told them to go and shower then they can come downstairs for lunch.They return downstairs after few minutes then we all sat at the table to eat as we eat, we kept stealing glances at each other.RILEY.I stare at my beautiful family then I thought of doing something, I brought out my cellphone, I took selfie of us eating then I send it to my grandmom with a text added to it.“ Your grandkids and their mom, we are working towards getting married” I sent it to my grandma then I heard my Harry says to me.“ bad habit” I look towards them.“ Yeah, you don’t press your phone while eating” He says.“ Okay Champs”I said and drop my cellphone.my Cellphone beeped and I was going to pick it.“ Dad, we just told you what bad habit is” Harry says.“Okay Champs and I already noted that” I said.We finished eating then the maid came to clear the table. I pick my cellphone and there were already tons of messages from Grandmom.Is she a single mom?Are you planning to marry a sing
When I started working for him , he never walks far away from me. I am sure he is cheating on me.Did I just say he is cheating on me? He isn’t my husband.Not long the car stopped. He got down, he help me out then the kidsWe got to the restaurant. I recognized it immediately from something I’d seen on TV once. It was one of those super-fancy places with Michelin stars and tiny plates of food. I’d seen them before.“You ever go to Panera Bread?” I asked Riley, as we were seated at one of the tables, and the menus, heavy and dark with black leather cases, were slipped onto our laps.Riley laughed. I loved it when he laughed and the sound was warm and rich. We’d been seated in a private room in the restaurant.“That’s a good one,” he said. “I don’t think I’ve been for about ten years.”“You know,” I whispered conspiratorially, “the food probably isn’t as good as here, but the bill’s about a hundred times smaller.”“I get that,” said Rley. “But money doesn’t really matter to me. Even if
AMANDA.I stood in my room pacing around thinking of what I can do to make him mine, I realized the plan suing plan didn’t even bulge him, I was in thought when my cellphone Vibrated.It was a message from my friend. I opened the message and it was a picture of Riley, then I look deeply into the face of the person he was kissing the back of her palm it , it was Chloe and there were kids that look exactly like Riley.I quickly dialed my friend’s line to confirm.CHLOE.I wasn’t expecting anything after reading the message I just felt happy then he push back his chair and stood up, e came and stand in front of me, he dropped down on one knee and brings out the engagement ring.My eyes opened widely, I wasn’t expecting any of this.“ I know I haven’t been the best of men to come into your life but I want us, I want a forever with us, I need us to raise our kids together, have more kids together, I want a life partner and you are that woman.“Please say yes” he said.My tears were drippin
I undress myself and imagine it was Riley pulIing down my gown and kissing me, I went to the shower and went to bed.I kept tossing around , I couldn’t sleep very well , I couldn’t get over our kisses, I raise my finger and stare at the diamond ring on my finger. I never thought I would be wearing a diamond ring not just anyone’s diamond ring, Riley’s Diamond ring on my finger.It took me a wile before I drifted to sleep.RILEY.I undress and went to bed, I lay in the bed imagining her undressing me and straddling me. I sit up in the bed then I walk out of my room, I walk to my office and started writing down my vow.I can wait to read the vow I just wrote down to her.I loved her so much. I began to draft down all the things I want to do for my future wife.I return to my bedroom and I didn’t know when I drifted into sleep.The following day.In the morning, I got a call from my grandparents so early that they are on their way to my place.I rush out of the bedroom, I climbed down t
“ Grandma, Riley calls out. I look towards what I was cooking it had gotten burnt, Riley turn of the stove, he held my hand and we walk together to her grandparents.We both greeted them both, she pull me into her embrace, my grandson told me so much abut you” his grandma says.His grand dad did the same. “ Are those my grand kids, she pointed at them close to the kitchen, she rushes to them and pull them into embrace.Not long the domestic workers arrived and prepare us some food, the food was served we all eat discuss our wedding date, his grand dad restore his post back at work,they talk about the lawsuit and his grand dad promise to work on it and he said he was also working on it.Evening they left and it was wonderful meeting them. After a long day we retire into our rooms.THe next day.We took the kids to school and he drove me to a flowershop. Our visit to the flower shop was like nothing I’d ever seen. Riley chose a fancy place up in the wide streets and green boulevards of
"I don't know what to think anymore Nathan. This is all just like a nightmare. I may never see her again, or my child. The thought scares me more than anything.""Don't lose hope my friend. I am certain that we will find Nicole eventually. Nothing bad has happened to her. Nicole is a strong lady; she can survive anything. I have a very good feeling that she's doing well. We will find her soon."NICOLE"Ash! Are you leaving already?" Claudia asked, coming into the house. She carried a bag with her, containing some items. Claudia is my close friend from college."Yes Claudia, my presentation at work starts in an hour." I was packing my bags, ensuring that I'm not missing anything. I checked to make sure that my health insurance card and phone are in the bag. I was going to visit the hospital right after work for my prenatal care. The hospital was just a few miles away from where I work.Four months have passed since I had met Claudia at the O’Hare airport as soon as I got into the city.
"He left? Where did he go to? Did he say where he was going?" I asked frantically."No, sir. He didn't mention where he was going. He only packed up his stuff and started leaving in a hurry, he was trying to call someone on the phone as he left"."Are you Ok, sir?" One of the employees asked. I ignored her and thought of what I could do next.It had been 3 months since Nicole disappeared with no trace and I hadn’t been able to get hold of Justin, either. He also left IM Corp after taking a few days off after that day.I received Justin’s contact information and tried to have face to face conversations with him several times, but there was no response from him. Eventually, I hired a private investigator to help me find them. One day, they informed me that they had found Justin working at another tech company, Sinews and living in a new apartment in the city.I cancelled my meetings for the rest of the day and hurried over to see Justin at Sinew with Nathan."Welcome to Sinews. How may
"How official!" He mocked, shielding his body from another violent hit from me."You're just crazy. Please don't forget to get me the plane ticket. I'll be all packed up and waiting for you to return this evening"."Alright. I'll be leaving now. I made you breakfast. Try not to throw up, please. It took me an hour to make those waffles.""An hour? Just to make waffles? Did you use sunlight to cook them?" I rolled my eyes at him. "All for some tasteless waffles."“Hey, if they were tasteless maybe you should save some for me. I didn’t want all that effort to go to waste.” He left the room while I laughed. I was certainly going to miss Justin. That is for sure!NATHAN"What happened? I heard Nicole resigned.” Nathan stormed into my office. I was totally in shock."What are you talking about? You informed me she was feeling unwell yesterday and asked for a sick leave. Isn't that why she still didn't turn up for work today? I checked her office today, but she wasn't there"."Yeah, yeah. I
“You are the most amazing man in the world. Do you know that? Wait. Don’t answer. I already know what you’re going to say.” A smile fell upon her lips.“Damn right, I am.” I kissed her.Our wedding was a blast. Between the alcohol, great conversations, and all the dancing everyone did, we all had a great time.I was talking with my brothers and cousins when Henry and Aunt Barb walked over.“Boys. I’m happy you’re all together. There’s something I need to tell you.”“What’s up, Mom?” Stefan asked.“Henry asked me to marry him, and I’ve accepted his proposal.” She held out her hand.“WHAT?” Simon spit out his drink.My brothers and I looked at each other and didn’t say a word.“Mom, are you serious?” Sam asked.“Very serious. Do you not see the diamond on my finger, Samuel?”“You haven’t known each other that long,” Sebastian said.“It doesn’t matter if we knew each other for a week. When you know you’re meant to be with someone, you know. Isn't that right, darling?" She kissed his chee
“Good. Then I’ll be connecting your credit card to my Amazon account.”“Now, now, Nicole. Let’s not get all crazy.”She laughed as I pulled her into me.“Shall we go greet our guests and thank them for coming to our wedding?” she asked.“Yeah. Let’s go.” I grabbed her hand. “I can’t wait to introduce you to everyone.” I smirked.“Very funny.”NICOLEAfter the DJ announced us, we stepped into the ballroom while all of our guests shouted and clapped.“I’m going to grab a drink. Do you want a water or something?” Nathan asked.“Water would be great.”“I’ll be right back.” His lips met mine.“In case I haven’t told you. You look gorgeous.” Jackson smiled as he kissed my cheek.“Thank you, brother-in-law.” I grinned.“Hey, bro.” Conner walked over and handed me my drink.“This place looks as beautiful as it did when Georgia and I got married,” Jackson said.“Thanks. I did a good job, didn’t I?” A grin crossed Conner’s lips.“Excuse me?” I laughed.“What?” He cocked his head. “You were stil
“Thank you.”“Gabriel. Grayson.” She walked over and hugged them. “It’s good to see you both again.”“Good to see you too, Barb.” Grayson smiled.“So, Mom.” Simon walked over and hooked his arm around her. “We’re going to have a little chat once the wedding is over.”“A chat about what, Simon?”“About you and what’s going on.”“Nothing is going on, darling. Put your detective instincts away.” She patted his chest. “I’ll see you boys in the Gardens.”“Your bowtie is crooked.” Nathan walked over and straightened it. “Are you ready?” He gripped my shoulders."Are you? Your day will be here before you know it.”“Speaking of,” Jackson spoke. “Have you and Sofia set a date yet?”“No. Not yet. We’re discussing it.” He smiled.“It’s time,” Christian said as he glanced at his watch. “Let’s go get you married.” He patted my back.* * *I stood there with my brothers and cousins and wasn’t nervous. This day almost didn’t happen for two reasons. One was because we weren’t sure if Nicole was going
I think about it for a moment and realize that I really should focus on building my relationship with my Fiancee and baby daddy. We can do all of that later but now we should focus on knowing each other.Even though we should think of focusing on our upcoming project. He cocks his head slightly. “Shouldn’t I be asking you that?I love you and I want to be with you and who knows? I could die before you.”Nathan glares at me. “Don’t talk about dying,” he replies angrily.“But it’s the truth, anything can happen so the age difference doesn’t bother me.”Nathan exhales. “What about your parents then? We should meet them again ?”Laughing, I shake my head. For what?. But I stopped letting them tell me how to live my life a long time ago. They are just going to have to accept you and love you like I do.” I smile at him and lean forward to kiss him.The kiss grows deeper, but Nathan pulls away before it can turn into something more. “If you weren’t so sore right now, I would take you right h
Her back bows,body quivering and thighs clenching as our bodies grow slick with heat and sweat. Soon enough, she stiffens and shatters in my arms, reaching that desired peak for the second time in minutes.I watch her with adoration,marveling at how extraordinary she looks right now as she rides her pleasure. Groaning loudly now, with her name on my lips, I follow her swiftly, thrusting with careless abandon until we are both riding that high.Later that night,after whipping up something for us to eat, I feed it to Nicole with one hand while grazing her hip with my other hand.After chewing and swallowing,she clears her throat and stares at me curiously. “What made you change your mind?” She asks.“What do you mean?”I reply, handing her another bite which she takes in her mouth.“Well,maybe you cast you spell on me, I am not doing al of this because of the baby alone but because I believe you will be the best daughter to Kiera and our unborn and I love you so much.”I drop the plate o
Slowly,my hands trail her upper body and settle on her breasts. Gently I squeeze both just as my mouth peppers kisses along her neck. She quivers, moaning loudly as my mouth descends on her nipple. Never before have I felt this way with any woman, not even Bridget whom I once loved.Although everything is happening so fast,I make sure to remain gentle with her and I take my time caressing her body, learning every inch of it. I am just as eager to pleasure her as much as I am pleasured, if not more.Suddenly,I pick her up and rise from the couch with her thighs wrapped around me. I carry her towards the bedroom she slept in the last time we were here. Once we’re in there, I place her feet gently on the floor and drop a kiss on her forehead before proceeding to pull off my own clothes and underwear.I guideher to the perfectly made bed and help her lie on it before going to lie beside her. “You are an enigma, Nicole, so beautiful,” I whisper into her ear as I begin to trail my mouth acr
