“Are we not there yet dammit!” Jaxon angrily shouted and the air hostess shivered in fear as she placed a glass of whiskey before him.

“We’ll be there in an hour's time.” She said with a professional smile and Jaxon felt like wiping the stupid smile off her face. His jaw clenched in annoyance as he glared at her.

“What are you waiting for? Get out!” She jumped in fright and hurriedly walked out of the cabin.

He gulped down the drink and started tapping his feet impatiently. He felt his heart beat widely as so many scenarios kept playing in his head.

He didn’t know what condition Ruby would be in and he felt annoyed at himself for leaving her alone.

He felt stupid for believing Mikhail without confirming the authenticity of the news he gave him.

He knew the kind of person Nikolai was so why did he believe that he would ever let her go?

He felt scared. He was scared that he might be too late. What would he do if he found her hurt or worse dead before he got there? He felt like ripping o

    Their stay in Russia hadn't been planned but Ruby found herself enjoying it thoroughly. In the two days that has passed she found herself relishing the time she was spending with Jaxon. On the other hand, it was a break from all the things that had been happening to her.She suddenly thought of her parents and the smile that had been on her face faltered. She was slowly coming to terms with their demise but she was healing from it. She knew that adamantly refusing to believe what was true would not make it any less true and the sooner she came to terms with it, the better for her.She was glad she was back in Russia and finally had a chance to explore it to her heart's content. The last time she had been here was in a not so good situation. And in truth, the circumstances of her being here weren't much better.She felt that why now seemed so different was because Jaxon and her were in a better place. And of course Jaxon wasn't rushing off anywhere this time around.The penthouse the

    He removed his mouth from her ear and strayed to her neck, pressing light kisses on it. A gurgling sound left her throat when he found a particular spot in her neck then pressed his lips to it.Jaxon moved his lips lower until they got to her chest. He left feather light kisses there and traced her collarbone with the tip of his fingers.Her eyes had been closed since he started but they flew open immediately his lips enclosed a hard nipple. She didn't even notice that she was no longer wearing a bra. When had he taken it off?Any more thoughts vanished in her head as Jaxon started to suck it. At the same time, he was caressing the other nipple beneath his fingers. He left the one he'd been licking and went to the other, showing it the same kind of attention. At this point, Ruby felt the way her nipples were hard against the open air and tingling from the attention they had gotten.She let out a strangled cry when Jaxon took one in his mouth again and let his teeth graze over it.

    Ruby felt warm as her eyes softly fluttered open. She snuggled closer to the warm chest she was pressed against.She smiled as she remembered all the events that occurred the previous night. She felt like screaming as the memories started playing like a movie in her mind.She couldn’t see her face but she knew that her cheeks were rosy red by now. She squealed internally and slowly looked up.She felt her breath hitch as she stared at Jaxon’s sleeping face. He looked so peaceful and serene as he slept.She traced his features from his thick brows to his pointed nose down to his soft lips. She remembered the feel of them softly placing light kisses on her body. She felt like kissing him.She used her hand to trace his tempting lips. She groaned as she moved it to his jaw and she felt like she could eat him up at that moment.How could one person look so perfect? He looked like a Greek god and she felt lucky to be waking up beside him. She smiled as she thought about waking up next to h

    Ruby felt excited as they toured the streets of Moscow, it was a very beautiful city and she could finally understand what the hype was all about.It was a breathtaking place, the environment was peaceful and it had a mix of cultural and modern vibes.They were driving around the city and Ruby’s eyes were stuck outside as she sucked in the beauty.They passed by a local food truck and she felt her mouth watering as the delicious scent of the unknown snack that looked like a boat reached his nose.“Can you please park the car? I want to try that snack.” She pointed backward and Jaxon obediently parked at the side of the road.“What snack Ruby? I don’t see a restaurant here.” Jaxon said and Ruby happily pointed at the food truck.“Street food? No Ruby, I can’t allow you to eat that, we don’t even know if it’s hygienic or not.” Jaxon furrowed his eyebrows in worry as he scanned the food truck and the line of people who were coming to purchase the said snack.Ruby pouted and stared direct

    Kim had been liking the arrangement between herself and Damon. She felt it was just a matter of time before she got what she wanted. He was a great lover and a nice conversationalist so it wasn't like she was only after the money. Even though that was the deciding factor.She was looking for a man who had loads of cash in the bank. It was nice to be good in bed and have nice talks with people, but that only went so far. Those things didn't pay bills or get her the latest edition of the Chanel bag, she thought.She just had a couple of steps to go before she got what she wanted. Then, Ruby would not be the only one who had everything she wanted. Sometimes she got angry when thinking about Ruby because she knew if she was in Ruby's place she would definitely shop till she dropped and live lavishly. She was sure that if she was in Ruby's place and there was a competition for the best shopper, she would win it one hundred times over.She glanced at the clock, realized she was running late

    Kim hadn't expected Damon to be angry or at least not this angry. His mouth was twisted into a hard line and he was glaring at her so hard that she wanted to find a corner to hide in. But then she decided against such a thought. Why should she be the one to hide when he was the one who had done something wrong and he didn't even seem remorseful about getting caught."Just what the hell is wrong with you! Why would you do that?" He yelled and that earned several alarmed looks from other hotel guests."Why wouldn't I do that huh, I found you here cozying up with some other woman when I had been trying to reach you all day, or did you forget I was coming?" Kim asked him. Her heart was pounding wildly as she stared at him, she hadn't been this angry in a while."Of course I didn't forget you were coming and the last time I checked, we weren't in a relationship," he stated bluntly. Kim couldn't believe what she was hearing. He was here trying to justify being caught with another woman by

    The sun rays beautifully peeked through the curtains and Ruby groaned in annoyance at the brightness.She slowly opened her eyes and looked around the empty bed. She felt her mood dampen as she wanted to see Jaxon’s face the moment she opened her eyes.She sighed as she lazily stood up and made her way to the bathroom.She stared at her disheveled reflection in the mirror and smiled as she remembered what happened the previous night.She saw a side of Jaxon she had never seen before. She traced the hickies on her neck and her cheeks heated up in embarrassment.She turned on the sink and washed her face with the warm water. She felt alive as the water washed away all the drowsiness she felt earlier.She hurriedly brushed her teeth and walked downstairs. She walked into the kitchen and saw a note on the counter. She picked up the note and started reading it with a sweet smile.Good morning Gem.I left your breakfast in the microwave, eat up and get some rest.Ruby ate her breakfast and

    Epilogue."Avery, be careful with your brother, he's still too small to do that," I told my five-year-old daughter.Her brother, Jeremy was a bustling toddler who was a few weeks away from turning a year old, but even a bouncy castle was a bit too much for him."Mom, what if he goes on for a little while.""How about you both go play in the playpen instead, hmm. Where's Emerald?" Her sister wasn't anywhere I could see but I had an idea of where she could be."With Dad," Avery said then guided her brother towards the playpen.Sure enough, just out of my line of sight, Emerald was playing with Jaxon. A smile tugged at my lips as I watched them, I didn't bother interrupting and strolled back into the villa to get us some lunch.Five years might be a long time for some people but to me, it had gone by in the blink of an eye.If I had told my younger self that she would get married to one of the richest men in the country and go on to have a beautiful family, she would have probably called

    "Jaxon, they are so beautiful," Ruby whispered to him as they watched their daughters sleep. It all still felt unreal to her. Just a few days ago, she still had both of them in her stomach and she had been as large as a whale. But now, she had two little humans who she called her own children.They were both their father's daughters. They had the same slightly tan skin as Jaxon with blond hair. They were identical with the exception of their eyes.One had really deep blue eyes like her and the other had lighter blue eyes like Jaxon."They are." He said."Shh, be quiet or you'll wake Emerald up," Ruby hissed as she glanced at the thankfully still-sleeping baby. Emerald was his mini-me, her eyes were the same shade as his and she had a knack for waking up at the slightest noise. Ruby knew it had been a nightmare to get her to go to bed the first two nights they had come home."Are you sure Avery won't be the one to wake up?" He said, then pointed towards the baby who was moving a lot i

    The food Jaxon and Ruby were having for dinner didn't sit well with Ruby. Nothing seemed to entice these days. She was really nauseous and if she took another bite, she was sure she was going to throw it all up. Her stomach was basically at her throat so eating had become quite the hassle. And the pain she was feeling didn't help her feel any better."Something wrong with the food?" Jaxon asked, a brow raised as he popped a piece of meat into his mouth."Everything is." She sighed. She had been pushing the food around her plate for a few minutes now."So you want something else?... Are you okay, you look a bit unwell, is it the meat?" The space between Jaxon's brows furrowed as he asked her."It's not... Maybe... I don't know. I'm just feeling a bit of pain in my stomach." She told him, and as if to make a point, a sharp pain stung just below her belly button and she leaned over and expelled a deep breath."Gem?" Jaxon's voice wobbled out."Just... Give me a moment." She took deep br

Ruby was vibrating with excitement and she felt like she couldn’t stand still anymore.Jaxon was no different but he was doing a great job concealing his excitement as he stared at his smiling wife.The doctor greeted them with a smile. She guided them to the exam table and started arranging the equipment for the ultrasound.“Please lay down on the bed Ruby and lift up your shirt.” Jaxon helped her to gently lay down and lifted her beautiful maternity gown. He smiled down at her and sat beside her.Ruby excitedly squeezed his hand that was in hers and Jaxon placed a soft kiss on her forehead in return. The female doctor smiled at their interaction. She could feel the love rolling off them in waves and she felt happy for them."Are you ready to find out the gender?" the doctor asked, a hint of excitement in her

    Months have passed and Ruby couldn’t be happier. Things have been going well and life has been good and most importantly peaceful. It was everything she had ever wanted and today was a special day. They would finally know the gender of their baby and Ruby was excited. She couldn’t wait to know if she would be having a little prince or a beautiful princess. She smiled softly as she caressed her protruding baby bump.Ruby’s eyes were filled with a maternal glow, a soft, radiant light that speaks of the joy and anticipation that filled her heart as she gently caressed her stomach.She was standing before the large mirror in their room wearing black shorts and a sports bra.Her lips curved into a smile as she turned sideways and admired the size of her stomach, she couldn’t believe she had life growing within her. Ruby was grateful for this gift. She continued to gently use her fingers to trace her stomach as if she was touching her child. She gazed into the mirror with a look of wonder

    Jaxon removed Ruby's hot mouth from him because he didn't want this to be over so soon. He wanted to do so much more.He helped Ruby to her feet and his hands immediately found her plump cheeks. He grasped them tightly, his fingers digging into her flesh then pulled her closer to him until she straddled him on the bed.His lips settled on hers again and Ruby opened her mouth to accommodate him. His tongue clashed against hers over and over again in a duel which he won. He licked around her mouth and Ruby opened it more to him as she let out a loud moan which he swallowed. He bit her bottom lip and sucked it lightly between his lips and Ruby hissed in response.His tongue, teeth, and lips all worked in unison to bring Ruby to a quivering mess of nerves. He pulled away long enough to admire the way her lips were pink and swollen. She looked very flushed, her cheeks colored and eyes glazed over in passion or need. Maybe both, since he couldn't quite tell.He placed a barely there kiss on

    The clear sky had faded to a dark blue as the city shifted from day to night life. As Jaxon drove through the roads, he could see some night clubs that had started to open and some people on the streets were dressed elegantly for dinner.Jaxon was calm, or as calm as one could be after he had successfully dealt with the situation concerning June. He didn't want to think of it any longer, all he wanted to do was go home and be with his Gem.He pulled up outside the house and strolled in with the intention of surprising Ruby. But that plan changed when he got a whiff of a heavenly scent coming from the kitchen. Was that steak? The scent of roasted vegetables wafted through the air as well and he wondered what was going in the kitchen. And was Ruby making dinner?He was the one primarily in charge of cooking because Ruby didn't do so often. And he couldn't blame her either because she had a strong fear of fire and it would be cruel of him to put her in a place where she would frequently

    June shivered in fear and her heart beat accelerated as she looked up at Jaxon’s darkened eyes. He looked livid.June felt like she was about to faint under his harsh eyes, he was glaring at her with so much anger that she felt light headed from the intensity of the look. Her heart was beating so wildly that it felt like she was running a marathon.June closed her eyes and tightly clasped her hands together on her laps. She took a shaky breath and gathered the courage to repeat herself.“I apologize for locking her up in the restroom on Keith’s birthday… I just wanted to show Keith that I was the better match and she was a disappointment.” June muttered and Jaxon’s nose flared up in anger. He felt like punching her right now.He had accused Ruby of lying to him that day and they even had a fight all because of her. He angrily slammed his hands on her table and June’s eyes started to fill with unshed tears as she shivered in fright.“So it was you! It was all you! How dare you! How cou

    "When did you find out about the contract?" He asked and June stilled."I don't -""Don't start with that bullshit talk of you not knowing what I'm talking about. You know exactly what I'm saying and I'm not going to repeat myself." He said annoyed."I- I" she stammered and Jaxon's nose flared in irritation."Oh, and I don't have all day so don't beat around the bush. I would advise you to stop acting like a weak lamb because I know what you did. I know about Serena." He told her and watched as June's eyes widened in shock. June remained silent for a while and her mouth kept opening and closing like a fish."I-i can explain." June let out slowly after she managed to find her voice."Knock yourself out. Don't leave out any details when you're "explaining" yourself, and just so you know, I'm not going to take things lightly with you. Not after what you did. And be careful how you answer this question because your life and company are at stake here.” Jaxon warned.June was taken aback, h
