Planning and printing everything needed for the petition took Charlie all night. For which, if she was honest, she was even grateful. It wasn't like she was going to get much sleep, being agitated and upset like that, anyway.Fortunately, Morgan seemed to be as busy as she was and, also thanks to her efforts to avoid him, Charlie had managed to get away from him even when her husband returned home and, even though she asked him not to, left a plate of fresh food and hot outside your room. And as much as that care still made her heart melt, now a part of her felt nauseous. Not because Morgan was always ready to help her, but because she always needed something. When, in all the time they'd known each other, had she helped him with anything or given him anything? She had never paid for his college, offered him a roof over his head, or set up a sham marriage just so he wouldn't lose out on an inheritance. Morgan, on the other hand...That was why she would do anything to make that petiti
" Exactly. " Morgan agreed, elated " So if one day the caterpillar needed to cross a river, what would be better: crossing the river and risk drowning? Or accept the butterfly's help and fly with it?“ Isn't there an option to wait a bit, until she grows wings? Charlie grumbled, not wanting to budge.“ Of course, but this option will not always exist. “ she could almost see him shrugging in that pragmatic tradesman way “ What if the caterpillar needs to find food on the other side of the river? So she could wait. Realize? In extreme situations, she will need to accept help or she may end up taking unnecessary risks.“Or it may never become a butterfly and become known among the other caterpillars for being dependent on others. “Charlie snorted, regretting saying it on impulse the moment her words left his mouth.“Did anyone say that to you? he questioned, his voice taking on a dangerous tone."I thought we were talking about hypothetical stuff…" Charlie sulked, still not wanting to ta
“If you want advice, you better get off my land right now. “ Samantha said, looking around the office with an expression of pure disdain “I have a lot to do on my newest investment and I don't want any filthy animals getting in the way...Still with her body totally paralyzed by horror, Charlie could only stare at her former stepmother, unable to even blink, which seemed to be making Samantha immensely satisfied. Behind her, Jack and Vivian remained impassive, regarding the woman before them with pure contempt, but not looking as affected as Charlie felt.“ Isn't it a little unethical to come up to us and ask us to leave immediately, when you've just given us the news of the purchase? Vivian asked, her voice surprisingly cool and controlled.“ I think you still don't understand what's going on here, my dear... “ Samantha laughed, approaching the three with an amused smile “ This place doesn't belong to you anymore. And if I want, I can even have my lawyers fine you for trespassing on
Without so much as a second glance in his direction, Samantha was out the door, her stiletto heels clicking loudly across the floor, so hard was she stepping, surely on account of anger. However, Charlie remained firmly where she was, pretending to be impassive, until he finally watched her figure disappear completely inside a luxurious car. It was only then that she allowed herself to give in to the dizzying emotions that had gripped her all morning, making her feel a little dizzy. And she certainly would have given in to her shaky legs and fallen to the ground if Morgan hadn't noticed her state and put his arms around her waist to steady her." Are you well? “ he asked, worried, but didn't give Charlie a chance to answer, splicing one sentence after another, looking nervous “I... I know you asked me not to use my money to resolve this situation, Charlie, but... After my lawyers found out that Samantha was responsible for that proposed purchase, I couldn't help myself. Not when I kne
The word "busy" doesn't even begin to describe the way Charlie has been these last few weeks. The purchase of the shelter was almost completing a month of anniversary, but his responsibilities seemed to increase every day, never giving him even a second of peace. Not that she was complaining, of course. Never before in her life had she felt as committed to something as she did at that moment, making a point of overseeing every last detail of the renovation that she, Vivian and Jack had begun to implement at the shelter.“Vivian, what do you think of this blueprint that the architect sent as a suggestion for the operating room? “ Charlie asked, entering the room at the moment that her friend was finishing splinting the broken wing of a cockatiel “ He said that the infrastructure will cost a little more than planned, but in return, we will have the ideal place to perform up to more than 20 surgeries a day, when we have enough material and professionals...“Are you sure it's a good idea
"Of course…" Charlie tried to smile, though the memories of the previous nights were nagging at her.As Morgan had said, she had been doing a lot lately and putting her dream into motion, but come to think of it, it was all taking a toll on her, even if she was only just starting to realize it. A month ago, she'd had as busy a schedule as Morgan's, which meant the only time they had to be together now was at night...which, incidentally, was also the same time Charlie came home home after an exhausting day and barely had time to have dinner, shower and brush my teeth, before falling into bed and waking up only the next morning.Not that Morgan had ever complained about her new routine. On the contrary, he seemed proud of her and encouraged her all the time, doing everything in his power to make sure she always had a delicious meal and a comfortable home when she returned to their apartment, barely able to keep her eyes open. And she'd been so focused on shelter issues lately that she h
When the taxi she'd taken dropped her off at the condo, Charlie walked up to the apartment with her shopping bag in one hand, wondering how she was supposed to divert Morgan's attention to get him a surprise... universe seemed willing to make things easier for her, since, as soon as she walked through the door, she heard the sound of the shower running in the distance, smiling when she realized that he must be in the shower.In a hurry, not knowing how much time she had before he finished his shower, Charlie quickly got dressed and looked for Sawyer and Matilda, confirming that they were taking a nap together on their favorite part of the porch, before locking herself in her room and lie down on the bed, waiting for her husband to come out of the bathroom next door. However, it wasn't until several minutes later, much more than the desire she was beginning to feel seemed to be able to withstand, that the shower was turned off and she listened to his wet footsteps walking in the bathro
“Well, lately I've been thinking about what it would be like if another part of me got into trouble…” She put her thumb in her mouth, nibbling on the nail as her other hand continued to nudge her other entrance with the lightest of touches.“You have no idea what you're asking of me…” he twisted her nipples between his fingers, but she could hear the wistful smile in his voice “Do you think it would be that easy? That I could just fuck you right here, just like that? “ Without warning, he replaced her fearful finger with his own touch, starting to circle her tiny entrance even harder “You silly perverted... I'd have to spend a whole tube of lube in here first, to make sure that you feel as little pain as possible. Then I would put a finger in you, very slowly…” As he said that, he pressed the tip of his finger to her entrance, as if he were rehearsing what he was going to do, and Charlie immediately went rigid, not only with apprehension, but also with apprehension. of expectation “Bu
