"Shh," he whispered, "don't worry. Everything will be alright." It took her several seconds to realize he was talking to her, and it took another couple minutes for her to register the meaning behind his words. She pulled away slightly and looked up at him.He looked concerned but at the same time relieved that he had finally gotten her to respond.She smiled weakly at him. "Thank you."Jake nodded before kissing her forehead gently.They remained silent for a few more moments until Jake started to drive back toward his house. She wrapped her fingers around his wrist and tugged lightly at his hand to get his attention."So…what are we going to do today?" she asked hesitantly, knowing very well that the subject of what they were going to do would probably cause him to start driving faster and she had never liked speeding down the highway, but she figured that he would probably enjoy the speed.He grinned mischievously at her and winked. "I was hoping you could give me an answer to tha
She opened her eyes again after a short while. She turned her head to glance at him. She couldn't believe it. He was still staring at the water, lost in thought.A warm feeling spread throughout her body. He was beautiful. Even though the sun was shining brightly upon him, his dark skin was perfectly shaded by the rays of sunlight and glistened beautifully. His hair, which fell across his face, was slightly damp due to the salty air. She wanted to run her hand through his hair and comb her fingers through his hair, running her fingers through his thick dark locks, causing his hair to stand up wildly. His lips were slightly parted, showing off those perfect pink, puffy lips she loved kissing so much. His jawline was sharp, but not masculine. It gave him a feminine look, making it seem as though he had more curves than muscular. Her eyes traveled downward, admiring the muscles that filled his abdomen and chest. She could just imagine the feel of them beneath her hands. She licked her
Jake remained quiet as he listened to her ramble. He then let out a sigh and placed his hand on top of hers. "Claire, slow down. Everything is going to be alright. You'll find a way to explain everything."She looked down at the table, letting out a heavy sigh. After what happened last night, she was beginning to doubt herself again. Jake squeezed her hand gently."Everything will be alright."She closed her eyes and gave him a weak smile. "I hope so."When lunchtime came around, Claire and Jake headed into town. Jake didn't speak very much during the entire walk there; in fact, he hardly said anything at all. After buying their food and taking a seat in the back of the restaurant, they started to eat."So, where do you live?" Claire asked once they were done eating."In an apartment complex," he answered vaguely."An apartment building? Really?" she exclaimed.Jake laughed softly. "Yes. I don't live in a mansion like you. Actually, I only live there temporarily. But you're welcome to
Claire's point of view.This is another day that hurts me so much, I have to go to school.Maybe that's normal for others. But It felt like suffering, pain, and torture that never stopped for me every time I came to school.Because all the kids in my school always bully and ridicule me.Today is my birthday, I turned eighteen and this is my last year in school. But I just hope that all this torture will end soon.In the corner of the school hallway I saw Mia, my classmate, she is the rich, pretty, and the most popular girl in my school and dating Ethan Greenwood the prep.“You weird girl! You always annoy me every time I see you!” Mia pushed me hard.“I'm so sorry, Mia, I just want to get to class immediately, I'm afraid I'm late.”Then not long after I saw Ethan who approached Mia and kisses her cheeks.Ethan Greenwood is the handsome and popular guy in my school, he is the son of a famous billionaire family in London, that's prestigious and everyone respects him and treats him so we
My mom and I prepare our best to welcome her special guests.When the moment we had been waiting for arrived, I saw the figure of a handsome man who was mature and seemed to be the same age as my mother.As soon, as I see my mom kiss him and hold him so tight, she looks so happy.“Claire, this is Mason Greenwood, he was my boyfriend, and we will get married soon.” My mom looks so happy and flattered.I'm smiling and introducing myself to him, I feel so happy for them, Mason looks so wonderful, and he looks deeply in love with my mom.But suddenly, I realized something wrong with him, and I remember another Greenwood.I suddenly thought about Ethan Greenwood. But I think that's different from him, that's impossible because Mason was a very nice and great guy, he must be so different from Ethan.“Anyway, where is your son?”“He already prepares himself, he will come to us soon.”And suddenly, my nightmare was coming true, the young man who came to us was Ethan Greenwood.“Ethan?” I was
“I want you two to stop this fight, this is enough!”“Claire, why you didn't tell me before if this traitor will be your stepbrother?” Jake pointed his finger at Ethan.“Hey stopped, I will never let you be with Claire!”Suddenly, I heard the ringing, that's the sign my mom's wedding is about to start.“We'd better get in right away, to attend our parents' wedding ceremony.”Finally, Ethan and Jake obeyed me, and they followed me to follow my mom's wedding day.I see my mom and Mason have said their vows, and they are officially married, and that automatically makes me become Ethan's stepsister.I looked at Ethan and Jake who kept looking at me looking nervous because they thought about all that was going to happen next.From the look in Ethan's eyes, I can see that there are many negative things but a charming and intoxicating mysterious aura from him and his gaze and smirk looks very strange.Until it seems there is something he is hiding from me.And I see Jake's gaze opposite to E
Ethan can't take his eyes off me, and he still kisses me so passionately.Now his hands are trying to explore my deeper skin, he is trying to take off my clothes.“I just want you, forever, in my life.” Ethan's whispers in my ears activated the wild side of me.I wanted to stop doing it all, but this touch that Ethan kept giving me felt so sensual, and I wanted more than that.Ethan's hands and fingers tried to trace my most sensitive spot and kept touching my bare skin, this makes me feel thrilled.I felt an electric touch every time Ethan touched me.Ethan's touch was more than that, now he goes down and continues to trace my body until he sticks his tongue into my most sensitive spot, this feels so wonderful for me.I can't do anything, I can only enjoy the touch that Ethan gives me, and the passionate feeling that I have never felt before.I closed my eyes, stroking Ethan's thick brunette hair tightly, and he buried himself deeper into me.“You taste so wonderful, Claire, I never
The doctor pointed the ultrasound device into my stomach so that finally everyone in the room could see what was happening.“Congratulations, Miss Claire, you are just pregnant.”“P-pregnant? But why?” Jake looks shocked.I saw an aura of sadness and disappointment that was very deep on Jake's handsome face, he seemed emotional and looked angry, he can't control his feelings.“But who is the baby daddy?” The doctor asks them.“That's me, doctor.” Ethan raises his hand.“Okay, good, this baby is very healthy, but I've never seen a baby move so strong and agile like this before.”“So what will happen next to her and the baby?” Ethan looks confused.“Nothing bad will happen to Miss Claire and her baby, I will prescribe medicine to relieve the severe pain she is feeling and make her baby stronger that will be better.”“Okay, thank you so much, Doctor.” Ethan looks so happy.But the happiness didn't last long because Jake just punched Ethan hard and left a blue mark on his handsome face.“

The silence between them was comfortable and they both didn't seem to mind. They had become quite close over the past few days and they had developed some sort of trust with each other that they didn't previously have. For example, whenever they met in public Jake always paid attention to her and made sure that she was okay, whether she wanted him to or not. Sometimes they would walk around Milan together, sometimes he would take her out on romantic walks along the coast, sometimes they would make plans to get together to have fun at the beach. The only thing that was missing was his presence at her side. But as long as he was nearby Claire didn't mind spending time with him. However, when he wasn't by her side, she became incredibly nervous and uneasy. Whenever she had to endure his presence, she felt guilty. She knew that she shouldn't have allowed herself to develop an attraction to him but she couldn't help it. When he looked at her or spoke to her she was unable to concentrat
Jake walked into the kitchen and placed his hands on top of Claire's shoulders. "Why did you stop working today?" he asked curiously."Oh," she answered sheepishly. "I forgot to eat lunch..."He chuckled softly. "Well I'll bring you something," he promised.Claire blushed lightly as he leaned forward and gently pressed his lips against hers. She relaxed in his embrace, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist. She couldn't help but feel completely overwhelmed by love for this man. He made her feel safe and content, which was something she hadn't experienced since she was little. After a moment she pulled away slightly and rested her forehead against his. She took a breath."What are we going to do today?" she asked hopefully."Whatever you want," he replied happily."Good," she whispered before bringing her lips back to his.Jake smiled against her lips and brought his hands down from around her shoulders to rest on her hips. They continued kissing for a couple of minutes before h
"Are you hungry?" he asked. "Want me to make us breakfast?"Her eyes shot open at his question and she gave him a quick nod before pulling away slightly to sit up, propping herself up on her elbows."I think I should cook something," he added. "You should also take a shower and maybe try to get some more sleep."She groaned softly. "What kind of a guest am I? Don't you think I should be helping you with anything? I mean... I don't exactly live here.""You live here just fine, Claire," he said, placing a soft kiss on the tip of her nose. "It doesn't matter where you live or who takes care of you. That's what you're my wife now. No matter what happens, you'll always have a place in my heart.""Then... I guess cooking breakfast is the least I could do.""Sounds like a plan," he said with a smile. He reached down and removed one of her legs, moving it to the side of the bed. He sat up, swinging his legs over the edge of the bed. "Come on," he said as he stretched out his hand to help he
"Come on," he said, patting the space beside him. "Let's go get cleaned up."After changing into a pair of yoga pants, a tank top, and flip flops, Claire walked out of the bathroom. She jumped when she saw Jake sitting there. He put his magazine down and looked at her confusedly."You're taking too long."She shrugged. "Sorry.""It's fine. Go ahead and brush your teeth so we can head out."Claire did as told and brushed her teeth quickly before walking into the closet to pull out her outfit. Once dressed she went back into the bathroom to find Jake sitting on the bed, tapping his foot impatiently."How's it look?" she asked.He glanced up at her, his eyebrows knitting together. "Wow... you look great."Claire grinned. "Thanks."She walked over to Jake, placing her hands on either side of his hips. She pressed her lips against his, her tongue slipping inside his mouth to explore. He kissed her back hungrily, sliding one of his hands under her shirt and running his fingers over her bare
There were some very nice dresses that he would love to try on. He wondered if Claire would let him pick something out for her. The last time she wore something that expensive was when they were in college. He sighed to himself, knowing that this was probably the most expensive dress she owned.After the sales associate handed her the bag, she paid and thanked them before making her way back outside. They had gone to the same high school, so they were practically attached at the hip. She hadn't dated anyone since, though. After graduation she decided to focus on her degree and Jake stayed single until recently. He was happy for her. For the past four years, Jake had been a proud father of three children. One of whom he had named after Claire's mother, Rose, who was murdered by the man she called a father."What are you thinking about?" Claire questioned, noticing that he was deep in thought.Jake snapped back to reality and grinned. "Nothing. Just wondering where to take you for dinn
"Thanks, Dad." I said quietly before walking towards my bedroom. I entered the door and slid it closed before falling onto the bed. I let out a sigh and placed my head into my pillow, closing my eyes as tears began to gather in my eyes again.I couldn't believe everything that was happening. My parents had given birth to our daughter only a month ago and things were still progressing. The doctor hadn't told us much, only saying that we were having twins. As far as I knew, they were healthy babies and that was all we needed to know. I heard the sound of heavy footsteps coming closer to my bedroom door and I instinctively curled up in a ball, hoping to hide away from whoever was outside my bedroom door. I felt my breathing become ragged as my eyes began to fill with tears again, knowing full well who it was."I'm sorry, Jake, but I can't do this anymore. The stress is too much."They're standing outside a wedding dress shop at the mall in the city, waiting to go inside so that they can
