There was a flash of uncertainty mixed with a tinge of fear. He saw it in her soft hazel eyes but Daniel could no longer contain himself. She was like a Christmas present that he had but did not own, a prized possession that he could only admire from afar but never touch. But tonight, Daniel decided to give in to the desire that had been screaming from within him since the day he first laid his eyes on Jane. Tonight, he would make her his. Oh yeah, me Tarzan, you Jane.
Pinning both her hands onto the soft cottony bed, he leaned forward and pressed his mouth against hers, feeling her lips quiver before he gently nibbled and bit at them. They were wet and moist, just the way he liked it.
Jane squirmed, pushing her feet against the bed cover and tried to turn her hea
“Welcome back Mrs Winters!” Pepper shouted in delight the moment Daniel and Jane stepped through the office elevator the next morning. As usual, Daniel shot Pepper a scowl before he placed a protective hand on Jane’s waist, ushering her and baby Timmy to head to his office. But to his surprise, Jane ignored his prompting and stepped aside to hug an absolutely delighted Pepper. “It’s good to see you, Pepper,” she said with a smile. Timmy, caught between two women’s bosom gurgled in delight. The boy had a taste for fine things. Scowl as he might, Daniel was secretly very happy today. Even more so the night before when he watched Jane drift off to sleep in his arms. She was his, she was truly his! And he intended to keep it that way. Now if only he could just find the time to tell Jane of his intent to make the contract an indefinite one. One that would ensure the two of them became lawful wedded husband and wife for the rest of eternity. Perhaps he would tell her of hi
Marie, Jane’s stepmother had been summoned to the meeting. In she stepped into the meeting room looking very much like fish out of water. Her eyes bulged as she took in the foreign faces in the room and Marie swallowed a lump in her throat when all eyes fell on her. Even that weird looking pup with pink ears was staring at her. It was Marie’s first time ever in a board meeting and boy did everyone look intimidating! Especially that son in law of hers.She peered at Daniel Winters as she tiptoed past his towering figure, careful not to make a sound. A phone call earlier that morning had her rushing to Winters Architecture with a promise of getting a limited edition Hermes bag if she would ‘just sit in the meeting’ and to answer ‘yes’ to everything she was asked of. And boy was she going to say ‘yes’ to everything. A yes to a brand new bag, a yes to some extra cash and a yes to whatever goodies they threw her way. Oh yes, she was
“Marie! Why did you come here?” Jane demanded the moment she dragged her stepmother into the elevator. She could not believe that Marie had the nerve to step into Winters Architecture, especially not after all that drama about severing their family ties a month ago. Marie almost ruined everything for Daniel!Fuming, she pressed the ‘L’ button on the floor indicator repeatedly to bring them down to the lobby. Anything to get the woman out of the way. She could not afford to have Marie rushing back into the meeting room to cause any more damage than she already did.Her stepmother inspected her wrist and feigned a hurt look before pouting her lips. “Oh, Jane…I came because I was worried about you. You can’t imagine the surprise I got this morning when Portia called. She told me that your marriage is a sham. Of course, I did not believe it, but as your mother…”Jane shot a look at Marie and her stepmother clea
Daniel stopped breathing.She almost bled to death during labour?His eyes flew to a panicked Jane who was still trying to shield him with her tiny frame and at that moment, Daniel realized that there were many things about Jane he did not know. Just what kind of life did she endure during those nine harrowing months? At the back of his mind, Daniel decided to ramp up his search for the elusive bastard who dared defy his woman. After one month of searching and still, there were no leads. Damnit!It didn’t matter that he had just been slapped by Jane’s father. It didn’t matter that he was taking the rap for the son of a bitch. The only thing that crossed his mind at that moment was how much Jane must have suffered all those long months in shame and fear. But now was not the time to dwell on that. Deep down, he knew how much Jane loved her old man. And if Jane loved her father so much, he would too. He would treat John McKa
When Jane awoke, it was still dark. She let out a yawn and stretched her arms out from underneath the soft warm quilt. Daybreak would come soon and she needed to pump milk for little Timmy. She sat up and stared at the magnificent cityscape that laid out before her through Daniel's wall to ceiling window. A light blue tint peeked out from the skyline, signifying the dawn of a beautiful new day.Daniel was still curled up fast asleep beside her and Jane gently brushed his cheek. It was bruising a little from where her Pa had struck him the night before and she felt extremely guilty that he had to bear the wrath of her father for a sin he did not commit.“I’m sorry Daniel,” she whispered and leaned in to kiss his earlobe. He stirred a little and mumbled something in his sleep before turning to the other side and fell into a deeper slumber. Pure joy lifted her lips and she tucked his naked torso under the cover to keep him warm.Then quietly, she
“Pepper.” Jane propped her elbows against Pepper’s stack of files and the PA almost fell from her seat. “Mrs Winters!” Pepper exclaimed, her voice creaking like hinges of a rusty iron gate. She pushed the cat framed glasses up the bridge of her nose and patted herself repeatedly on the chest to calm her nerves. Pepper fretted over the tiniest things, but it was what made her excel in her job, save for the fact that she somehow unintentionally kept annoying Daniel to no end. “You frightened me!” “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to,” Jane apologized and glanced in the direction at which Daniel had just exited. She had waited patiently for him to leave his office the whole morning and now that he was gone, Jane became exasperated. A part of her desperately needed to talk to Pepper and yet, deep down, all she wanted to do was hide in a corner and pretend she had never laid eyes on the photo in the first place. She was scared, angry and confused; but in a sense, the feeling was
Daniel Winters could not believe his eyes. Sitting right before him on the leather couch was his cousin and wife. Make that fake wife. Well, soon to be real wife. Whatever, but the fact was, Jane was in Wayne’s arm! Like what the fuck!Seething, he marched over and yanked Jane roughly by her wrist, pulling her up and out of Wayne’s grasp. His cousin's eyes narrowed slightly before he too stood up and straightened his jacket. Cool emerald eyes met his dark piercing ones as Daniel immediately placed a possessive arm around Jane.“Daniel!” Jane called out, sounding both confused and shocked at the same time. He frowned as he looked at her, colour had drained from her face and she looked as if she was about to faint. From the corner of his eye, he saw Pepper step in through the entrance and glowered at her.“PEPPER!”His PA almost tripped and spill her tray of coffee all over the floor.“Y…yes Mr Winters
Pepper paced nervously in front of Jane, walking back and forth so much that Jane feared she would wear out the carpet in Daniel’s office.“Pepper.”Pepper paid no heed, repeatedly biting at her already chipped nails and mumbling incoherently to herself. “This is no good…this is no good,” she kept muttering under her breath.“Pepper!” Jane stood up from Daniel’s chair and waved her hands wildly at the PA.“What? Yes, Mrs Winters…are you alright? Do you feel dizzy?” Pepper’s worried face contorted into panic and she quickly ran over to Jane, her fingers fumbling clumsily all over Jane like an overly protective parent.“Are you running a fever? Any shortness of breath? Oh God, do you have a heart attack??” Jane gently pried Pepper’s hands away and patted them softly, studying the PA’s face. Pepper looked like she was the one who was a
