IT WAS almost midnight, yet Michelle could hardly sleep.She hoped that her body would calm down, so she prepared the hot tub so she could take a dip, with a glass of wine on the little table next to it. She poured the hot water and the sweet-scented bath gel onto it, then dipped into the water and relaxed her mind.While sipping on the wine glass, Ethan entered the bathroom and glanced her way."Having a good time?" he asked, smiling.Michelle smiled. "Uh-huh... The hot water makes me relax."She could feel the heat on her cheeks, not because her husband was gawking at her as her naked body was covered by bubbles, but because of the wine and the heat engulfing her.Ethan walked towards her and sat on the rail of the bath tub."Is there something else I can do so your mind will be at ease?"Michelle stared up at him and smiled playfully afterward."How about you take off your clothes and join me?" Michelle arched her eyebrow.Ethan then stood up straight without breaking their eye con
"I DON'T understand why the cops don’t do their job well." Ethan gritted his teeth, tossed his phone on the desk, and stood up as he loosened his necktie.He just got a report from one of his men that Eionn Jackson was released after paying a huge amount of bail. That enraged Ethan. How could the authorities let that fucker be released? He attempted to kidnap his wife!"Ethan," Michelle called to him, walking in his direction and patting his back to soothe him. "I’m sure Eionn will no longer come here. He should have learned his lesson by now. I think we can let him be.""Let him be?" Ethan winced, his forehead creasing as he turned to his wife. "No, Michelle. I can’t let him out there unscathed after what he did. Who knows? He must be up to something," he said. His voice sounded irritated.Michelle did not say a word. She took a deep breath, trying so hard not to consider the possibility that Eionn might be up to something. It was making her anxious. She wanted to give him the benefi
LUST and wickedness reared in Eionn’s face. He threw her on the bed and held both of her arms at her back. Michelle whimpered in pain, crying, as he went on top of her, pinning her like a prey.“E-Eionn... please, d-don’t do this... I’m begging you,” she pleaded.Eionn sneered at her, then seconds later, licked her earlobe that made her scream for help. However, the man only laughed as if her screams entertained him.“You know the reason why I chose this place where we can meet is because the area is secluded. No one goes here to check in. The moment you went inside the elevator, the receptionist already ran with the money I paid her.” Eionn lifted the hemline of her black fitted skirt and began touching her legs. “So basically, we are alone in this building, Mich. You can cry all you want; shout until your throat cracks, but I assure you that you will moan my name later. You’re going to love what we’re about to do, and you will forget your fucking husband.” He laughed in her ear. “I
ALL was getting well…It had to be.After the dreadful situation Michelle had experienced at the hands of Eionn Jackson, who was put in jail for attempted rape and plunder, she wished that nothing and no one else would try to harm or ruin their family. The incident still lingered in her mind and would often haunt her at night. However, whenever it happened, she would then feel a warm hand caressing her back; a man hugging her and whispering to her ears that everything was alright.That was Ethan, her husband.Michelle could not be happier or more thankful. Her husband helped her to cope with what had happened and had always reminded her that no matter what happened, he would do everything he could to protect her and Marsha.It was a promise engraved on her heart.“Plane! There are so many planes! Look!” Marsha shrieked in the passenger’s seat of the car, looking through the window where she could see planes taking off in the sky.Next to her daughter was Anna, who kept holding Marsha
THE cold breeze enveloped Michelle’s body. She shivered not only from the cold night caused by the snow, but also from the way her husband looked at her.His eyes flared with lust as he continued to watch her while she stepped into the jacuzzi. The coldness she felt suddenly went away as soon as she dipped her body into the hot, relaxing water. Michelle stared up at Ethan with her parted lips. In her mind, she couldn’t help but wonder how a handsome man like him looked at her with so much adoration painted in his eyes, but all the more it made her feel special and warm.Michelle huffed. “I don’t feel cold anymore.”“It feels perfect,” Ethan added as he pulled her close to him.Her body went numb for a split second. Ethan had no idea how his touch could bring her so much sensation. It was like an invitation in a pit of fire, which she herself could not resist.She breathed in heavily, wrapping her arms around his neck and looking at him closely. His eyes sparkled in both lust and adora
THE NEXT day…Michelle could feel the exhaustion in her body, yet she tried to get up from the bed and took a hot shower immediately. Last night was too steamy between her and Ethan. It was around past midnight when they decided to sleep as they had so many things on their list for the next day.However, Michelle could not focus her attention on the long list of to-do’s in her head because her thoughts were preoccupied by something that completely bothered her.Anna Peterson.She knew to herself that she wasn’t imagining things. Her eyes saw her clearly behind the slightly opened door, watching them while making love in the Jacuzzi.It was supposed to be a romantic honeymoon night, but Michelle was not able to concentrate after seeing Marsha’s nanny. She felt as though their privacy as a married couple had been violated. Michelle was ashamed. No wife would ever want a nanny to see her with her husband having sex. It was supposed to be private and special...I need to talk to her, she
MICHELLE stiffened for a split second."What did you say?" she asked Anna, her brow furrowed."M-Mrs. Steinfield?" Anna’s eyes widened, and seconds later, she turned pale once again. "D-Did I say something wrong?""You said you would check on your daughter?" Michelle looked very confused. "Are you referring to my daughter?"Anna hit her forehead, biting her lower lip. "Oh, I-I am sorry, Mrs. Steinfield. I-It’s a mistake... I mean your daughter. Uhm, I think I was carried away as we always role play. I-I hope you’re not mad…"Michelle breathed in and out. She bit her tongue and thought that nannies were most of the time like that—treating the children they were taking care of as their own. It was not like she was against Anna thinking the same thing. It just felt off to hear it for the first time. Michelle may have been so possessive when it came to her daughter that she felt that way. Still, she nodded her head to Anna, as if to tell her it was fine."Go ahead and check on Marsha. Whe
Everything still felt surreal...That was the only thing Michelle had in mind after leaving the restaurant where Ethan chose to propose. Walking to the ski resort they booked into, Michelle raised her hand to see the ring on her finger.The diamond ring shone brightly in the snowy background. She smiled widely, still unable to believe that she had gotten engaged for the very first time.A warm arm was wrapped around her waist. She glanced at Ethan, who was also looking at her ring. "So, it turns out you really have a romantic side, huh?" She teased him."I’m starting to have one," Ethan said, leaning in to kiss the side of her head."I’ll make sure to remember this day every year. It’s our first engagement.""Are you happy?"Michelle nodded her head without any hesitation. "So much.""Mommy! Daddy! Walk fast!" Marsha shouted excitedly at them.That was when they realized that their daughter and her nanny were already at the entrance of the ski resort.Michelle and Ethan both chuckled,
