Ryker's POV'Would she like ice cream or syrup next time?'I stared at my laptop screen, looking for different ideas on what I would do to my wife when I went home. I put my elbow on the table while resting my chin on my hand.'I think I need to buy new s-x toys for...'"Sir..." I glanced in front of me to see Tess standing in front of me. "Would you mind taking this?"It surprised me to see the folder Tess was holding. "I didn't know you were there.""Ahm, about five minutes ago. I have already explained to you about that folder." Tess said, and then I opened the folder. "The photo shoot is ongoing at...""Wait, Heiji McNeil?" I glanced at my secretary. "What is this?""He's our model, and you approved it.""I approved it." I was surprised. I would not have agreed if I had known he would be the model. Why didn't anyone tell me? There are so many local celebrities. Why him?""But sir...""I want the photoshoot to stop.""But sir, the company has already released a lot of money, and th
Ryker's POV"You know it's my company, right?"When Heiji and I got out, we went straight to the garage, where I dropped him off. I put my hand in my pocket while staring at Heiji. He smirked and then put one hand in his pants pocket."Yes, I know," he says."Why did you accept the offer? You know me, you know Claire.""So what?" Heiji said. "I'm a model, and I'm working. Your staff approached me and offered me a job, so I accepted.""Why are you doing this?""Dude, subete wa Kurea to anata ni kankei ga aru to omoimasu ka?" Heiji said. "I don't know why you are so paranoid. I feel that I threaten you.""Why do I feel threatened by you?""You tell me why I threaten you?" Heiji stared at me."I'm not threatened. I'm pissed off. You always stick to my wife's nose.""If you're not threatened, don't act as if you are," Heiji said as he walked towards his car and then turned to me again. "You can pull off the contract I signed if you don't want me to be a model for your company; that's if y
Ryker’s POV“We’re here.”I glanced at Claire for a moment as we entered the gate to the factory. Everyone was surprised at my sudden, unannounced arrival. I immediately stopped the pain and turned to Claire, facing her mirror and fixing her makeup.I smirked. “What are you doing?” I asked.“I’m fixing myself. I don’t want to look like your nanny when the employees see us,” she said without looking at me.I smiled at her as I watched her. Damn, I’ve never tried to have s-x outside the house, in a public place like on the side of the road, though I’ve been able to have sex inside the car. But all I can say is that doing that with the person I love feels good. It’s like a new adventure for both of us, which I know is also Claire’s first time—the most satisfying public s-x.I noticed Claire stop what she was doing. She slowly put her things back in her small bag.I frowned. “Are you done?”“I’m embarrassed because you’re staring at me.”“Because you are beautiful,” I said, smiling. I pul
Ryker's POV "Are you having fun?" I noticed a broad smile on Claire's lips while the manager's neighbors happily chatted. She seems to be enjoying herself. "Sir..." I turned to the man in front of me from the other side of the table. "Do you drink lambanog?" "Ahm..." I glanced at Claire. "Just a little." "Here, Sir, lambanog is the famous coconut wine we drink here at Laguna. Besides the beer, sometimes that makes the stomach big." The man chuckled. Later, he poured a white drink from the big jar into the small glass. When the man, Mang Kanor, placed the glass before me, it was as if my stomach lurched. I've had this before, and it's delicious. My only problem is that my stomach is weak from drinking too much sour food or drink. Maybe it's because I'm used to expensive drinks; besides, I get drunk quickly when I drink this local beverage. I don't want to mess up, and I don't want Claire to see me drunk. "Drink it, sir," Mang Kanor said. "That's delicious, Sir. The expensive win
–Warning: Mature Content–Claire's POVWhen Ryker breathed on my neck, my breathing got deeper. After he got tired of kissing my lips, he sniffed my neck. I won't be surprised if my scent suddenly goes away. I swallowed hard and felt the stiffness of my nips. I was only wearing thin clothes, so Ryker must have felt the hardness of the top of my breasts."Hmmmm.." I couldn't help but react when the hard object kept hitting my lower belly."Love, I want you so badly," Ryker muttered. "I want to feel you," he said in a hoarse voice full of desire."Ahh!" he said as he pressed his body against mine. The heat of Ryker's kiss gave me an exquisite feeling all over my body. Burning desire began to move through my body to my lower belly, and a thin thread of electricity started to tickle between my legs. Ryker was drunk, but the way he wanted me was slowly taking over my body. His tongue went down deep and moved with mine.I know now what lambanog tastes like. It built up within Ryker's lips w
Ryker's POV"Oh, God, my head hurts!"I woke up holding my head. It was morning, and I didn't even know it. I can't even remember how I got into this room.'I hate drinking that "lambanog."'I was about to get up when I felt someone's hand on my waist. The hot breath tickled my chest. Claire's head was sleeping soundly on my chest. I wasn't wearing any clothes and saw them on the floor. Since Claire's and my clothes are everywhere, we have nothing on our bodies now."God, I don't know what I did to my wife."I noticed a big bruise on his arm and a bite mark on his shoulder. He has a sore lip, too."Sh*t, what did I do?"I slowly got to my feet and removed the blanket from Claire's body. I saw Claire's body when the blanket covering her disappeared. I freaked out seeing the marks on his hip and around his buttocks. All of that is clear on her white skin.'Shit? Did I hurt him last night? Damn it! I can't remember!'I held my head. I carefully put the blanket over Claire's body so she w
Ryker's POV "I know you don't eat those, but they are delicious." I glanced at Claire, who then also glanced at the manager. "Ahm, I'm sorry. It's not because I don't want to eat; it's just that I don't eat anything in the morning except milk or coffee." Claire said. I frowned. "When have you not eaten?" "Since today," Claire said, then glanced at the manager. "I'm sorry, but I want coffee at the hut now." The manager nodded, and Claire stood up and left us. I took a deep breath. "Hmmm, I don't want to ask what happened between you two, but I think you need to court your wife," said the manager. I turned to the door. "Eat, Ryker. Dried fish is delicious with fried rice and coffee." - Claire's POV "I'm fine..." I sat in the chair and put the coffee cup on the table while I talked to Heiji on the phone. I called Russell several times, but she didn't answer her phone, probably still asleep. It's only a quarter before six, so Russell must be sound asleep. I took a deep breath whe
Ryker's POV "The company lost a lot of money." When I arrived at the office, I immediately called an emergency meeting. Thanks to Daniel, I found out who the thieves were in my company. "And you just told us this now?" "Have you investigated this?" "Who is the thief?" "I can answer your questions if you let me speak," I said, irritable. After what happened this morning, I couldn't hide my lousy mood. "Tess, call them." "Okay, sir." Tess immediately left the conference room, and we were left inside. "I investigated everything, and I got the names of the thieves in the company. Of course, everything started with overpriced projects approved by the accounting department, me, and all in-charge directors and managers." I explained. "They changed what was written in the signed project proposals. But don't worry; everything is fixed, thanks to my dear friend. I will not mention who it was. I will let you meet those bastards before the police lock them up." While waiting for Tess, the
CLAIREAs the excitement for our second wedding grew, a question remained in the air. Russell asked, “Are you still feeling nervous about the honeymoon?” He wanted to know if there were any worries left.Russell and I were sitting next to each other, and our eyes were locked for a moment. A tiny baby was in her arms, and she was holding it perfectly. Ryker and Daniel were busy with other young investors and businessmen in the distance. My husband Ryker and I’s wedding reception is over. There weren’t many people there. Professor Alice and her husband, Alex, were there, along with Daniel’s friends and past coworkers. After what happened to Russell, which Ryan caused, these people had become like family.There’s been a secret growing inside me for four months now. My condition’s symptoms have failed to appear despite time. Russell’s body is now back to how it was before. A feeling of envy came over me as I looked at her. Her beautiful curves and toned muscles on her body made her look st
WARNING: MATURE CONTENTRYKER"Ugh! F-ck!" I cautiously inserted my finger and felt her essence wrap around it, warm and moist.Claire's groan of frustration echoed off the walls as I stubbornly continued to trace circles over her breast and pull her n-pple softly into my lips. She started swaying her hips in time to the rhythm of my touch as I stretched my finger towards her."Love!" I exclaimed, "You're making me so horny!" I stopped the tender stroking of her n-pples as I carefully removed my finger from her. I kneeled at the foot of the bed and helped her legs rest there. Instantly, I opened the space between her legs and explored her slickness with all my enthusiasm."Aaaah, Ryker!" Claire's back arched.I pressed my lips against her wetness and kissed her labia. As Claire's hips raised, my hands immediately sought to cradle them. Her hips floated effortlessly in the air as I continued devouring her. With a burning yearning, I started to enjoy her with the intimate contact of my
WARNING: MATURE CONTENTRYKER"I love you, love!"Claire's forehead felt the soft pressure of my lips as they traced a path of tenderness down to her nose. Then, as if pulled by some unseen magnet, our lips locked in a passionate, beautiful kiss. After a passionate exchange, our bodies heaved with tiredness, and our breath was ragged and laborious as we lay entwined. My finger lightly stroked her face in a sweet, sensitive gesture.I softly whispered, "Hey, love, how about we get married again?" My voice was unsure. "While still your baby bump is hidden."Claire screamed, "What?" with genuine amazement in her voice. The words floated in the air, an inquiry loaded with doubt. "But wait, aren't we already married?"When I finally got off of her, I curled up next to her with my arms around her and kissed her. She laid her head on my chest, and I let her take in the sound of my heart beating."But you still use your birth name, right?" I murmured, a note of exasperation in my voice. I tri
RYKER"Dude, it's too late!"Both Russell and Daniel were making noises that we could hear in the background. Suddenly, Claire looked at me again."Love, it looks like Russell is in labor; he won't make it to the hospital. Make an appointment with the doctor right away!" Claire's voice filled the room."What? Is Russell having a baby?" I was shocked. "Wait, it's my phone." I was just quickly searching through my car, my eyes darting around from one spot to another. I freaked out when I couldn't find my phone. "Hey, do you know where my phone is?" I asked, with a blank expression on my face, as the words just slipped out."We're using it, Ryker," Claire said.Suddenly, Russell yelled, "Hey Daniel, the baby is on its way! Get ready to catch him!" You need to be ready to catch him!" Russell, clearly upset, yelled loudly in the background."F-ck!" The voice that could be heard all over the room belonged to Daniel.After a while, Claire and I got scared when we heard the sound of a baby cr
RYKER“Are you sure about that?” I casually asked Claire, acting like I already knew the answer. You don’t like pineapple, right?”As we were strolling through the grocery store, it was pretty obvious that we had picked up almost every type of fruit they had for sale. Fruit is becoming Claire’s favorite food!“Smooth-textured dragon fruit?” I raised an eyebrow in shock and said, “Seriously?” I raised an eyebrow as I asked the question.Clare nodded. “Yeah,” she said, “I prefer yellow-skinned dragon fruit.”I kept looking at Claire and studying her carefully. Where can I find dragon fruit with that yellow and smooth texture?Intrigued, Claire said, “Why do you appear to have such a peculiar appearance? Are you not going to find me a dragon fruit?” Claire’s expression furrowed as she spoke. She pouted her lips to show her displeasure. Midway through our chat, Claire voiced her dissatisfaction, her tone laced with pain. She said gently, “You promised to give me everything, my love,” her
RYKERMom’s voice trembled as she spoke, “It’s fine, I understand.” My mother-in-law spoke, her voice echoing through the room.Food was brought by Claire’s parents. Uncertain of Claire’s preferences, I find myself unable to determine whether she will enjoy the dish.“Wasn’t Claire affected by Heiji’s drug? No one knows that she’s pregnant.” Dad’s voice echoed through the room.“There is nothing, the doctor stated. However, the doctor suggests we let Claire’s blood and everything else be tested so we can be sure. Even so, Dad, I want to be certain.”“I want to sue Heiji for his actions,” Dad said. “I won’t let him just walk away, even if it’s claimed that he didn’t touch Claire that evening, but your mother.” A hint of irritation tinged Dad’s voice as he cast a glance at Mom’s direction. “Just accept it as is. She seems not to care about my daughter at all.”“My daughter Claire is also mine. It doesn’t mean I no longer care, even if I disagree with your desire to sue Heiji. I consider
RYKER“Are we back home?” Her eyes darted around, taking in her immediate surroundings while the question lingered in the air. A feeling of uneasiness pervaded the air as if she were waiting for confirmation.Claire’s eyes shifted to mine as I cautiously undid her seatbelt. “Yeah,” I said with a simple nod. “How was you sleeping?”We decided to go back to the familiar surroundings of Manila after a few more days in the picturesque town of Sagada. I was tired and weary after the long drive. My limbs, too, were weighed down by throbbing pain. To be sure Claire was okay, I drove very slowly and steadily.There was a palpable feeling of hurry when the safety belt was undone. Quickly, I extended a hand to help her out of the car. I took her hand in mine, my voice full of worry as I pleaded, “Please, my love, be careful.”At Claire’s teasing chuckle, I couldn’t help but look in her direction. She reassured me that there was no need for me to offer my help and that she was well on her own.M
RYKER“But... she’s bleeding. Wasn’t she having a miscarriage?” I asked in worry.The doctor informed the patient that bleeding during pregnancy is normal, especially for a few weeks into the pregnancy. The bleeding was not serious, and the faint spotting and occasional bleeding were harmless until the bleeding became excessive. There's no need to panic. That means...“The baby is safe.”I exclaimed, “Shit!” out of excitement. My voice rang out. With a quick movement, I looked at the doctor instead. I said, “Sorry,” and then my eyes returned to Claire. My voice was barely audible, so I wasn’t sure whether she heard me apologize. I proclaimed, “I am going to be a daddy!” with a massive smile. As I look at Claire, an overwhelming sense of happiness floods me.“Your wife mentioned that you reside in Manila. Therefore, I suggest you return to Manila first, even if your wife’s health is fine.” The doctor stated, “I noticed that the wife is a little weak and, if I’m not mistaken, that she h
RYKER“Love!”When I stopped the car in front of the house, I felt a burning need to escape it. I ran faster as I made my way to the front door. My attention was focused entirely on Claire. I didn’t even look at Manang Greta once. Instantly, the door opened, and I quickly looked around the room for Claire.“Miss Claire is in your room.”I quickly went up the stairs because I was eager to get to our room as soon as possible and didn’t wait for Danica to answer. As the door opened, I yelled throughout the room for Claire.“Love!”Regrettably, I found out that she wasn’t in the room. Although I was walking down the hallway, a strange sound caught my attention. It seemed to be coming from the bathroom’s direction. Because I was interested, I turned toward the noise source, and as I walked, my steps became more thoughtful. I felt like I needed to act quickly, so I didn’t knock any further and promptly turned the doorknob, which let me see what was in the bathroom.“Love!”“Oh my god, what
