The way to a man's heart was through his stomach. Or maybe a few inches lower.
She tried to hide her smirk. Her plan was working. Cooking her favorite dish, now Nicholas's favorite, too, was part of it.
She was craving pot roast tonight. And him. It has been way too long since they were intimate.
While Nicholas was changing for dinner, she called the dowager. Affirming their agenda was to be executed two days hence. Mama happily agreed.
Sinclair had faith that her sisters-in-law and Lady Louise were rallying behind her and finalizing everything.
Viscount Redington was in for the biggest surprise of his life.
There had been some sexual tension during the drive home but he still would not act on it. He was treating her like delicate china. Frustrating her to no end.
She was determined to end their abstinence this evening.

Sinclair "I am going to pretend I didn't hear that," her voice was soft yet there was an edge to it. His body tensed, surprised by her ambush. Slowly, he turned to gaze at his wife. Not expecting her behind him while he talked to their head of security. One hand on her hip, she was tapping her foot on the carpeted flooring. Her gaze threw daggers at him. If looks could maim... Rick, the head to her detail, coughed to hide his chuckle. Having witnessed this scene numerous times, he was not surprised anymore that his bad-ass employer was afraid of his petite wife. The only one who could make him quake in his boots. "Do." Viscount Redington uttered and dismissed him. She arched her brow. Amused at his defensive reaction, she reigned it in. Consternation filled his handsome features. She kept her expression bland though. It was always good to keep him on his toes. Or on his knees. "Sweetheart," he pushed closer to her until he could wrap her ample waist with one arm, while the other
Teach Me (The Gentlemen's Club: Book One) Prologue
Trigger WarningThirteen Years Ago "Daddy, please! Please, don't leave us. Please!" The tiny child was sobbing hysterically, clinging to his pants. The man moved with purpose, uncaring, dragging the little girl. No! She didn't let go. How she wished her hands were bigger so she could surround his limb with enough force to make him stop. Unconcerned. Irritation marring his features. It was no use. The small frame that was her body got drag along. He continued to walk towards the door. "Leave him be, brat. He doesn't want us anymore." No! That was not true. She was daddy's little girl. He loved her. He read her stories at night and he would always bring her chocolates. Her swollen eyes pleaded with him. "Please, daddy. Don't leave me." He doesn't even look at her. His face was graven

Sinclair This was the third trimester of the year, three more months, ninety more days, and she's done. No more late nights at the library. No more three jobs to keep her afloat. No more walking three miles a day when she missed the bus. Just three more months and five more majors standing in her way. And this day was the first in the countdown. Sinclair's head ducked, avoiding fellow unis converging on the spacious hallway. Everyone belonged in a group. Except her. She couldn't stand them. And they sure as hell couldn't stand the poor girl at the campus. Someone even pointed out she smelt funny. Funny? At least she smelled clean and not like an overdose potpourri. Yuck! The thought alone could trigger her allergies to strong smells. She favored fresh flowers though. And when she had enough money to buy a nice cott

Sinclair To say the professor was relentless was an understatement. They, the students, became slaves of the subject.And he was taking no prisoner. One only had two options. Passed or failed. He was a freaking slave driver. And to think Sinclair loved literature. All along she thought it was the easiest of amongst her major subjects but it was not. The research, the debate, and the dissection of each piece were mind-boggling. On top of that, she had to make a thesis with one old poem, and from there a short story with a minimum of seventy thousand words.Basically, a novel. Who in their right mind would do that? Him. Her professor. -Wait? What?- Where did that thought come from? Well, she didn't mean it like that. She meant in a purely professional way. This conversation with hers

SinclairNothing and no one could change her good mood today. Not even those wannabe spice girls.The extra money from last night made her fill her cupboards. It had been a while since she had indulged in grocery shopping. And the breakfast delivered anonymously, it was obviously from a top-notched restaurant, filled her tummy to the brim.Having extra shillings, made her buy her favorite lip gloss. Of course, it was cheap but it did wonderful things to her lips. Making her feel pretty, too.She had a few bucks left, the money was budgeted until payday.In high spirits and about to reach her locker, her happy steps faltered. From the corner of her eye, she saw Sandy, from her class walking a bit too close to...Professor Stafford. Cozy. Sinclair thought bitterly. They came out of the teacher's lounge at this early hour. When most likely no one was about. The girl was smilin

Sinclair -Later, sweet?- What did he mean by that? Nope. She was not going to wait and find out. Home was where she should be. Far from the tempting professor. She was almost out of the building when her path was blocked by Sandy and the spice girls. -Really? Isn't this overrated?- This was so old school. "What does he see in you, Chinese girl?" God! No originality. Sinclair was tempted to speak in Mandarin to prove her point. But she didn't know the language. A pity. -Old mother English it is then.- "Chinese girl, really? That's the best you can come up with?" That gave her nemesis a pause. Oh, the bitch was trying to think with her fish brain for a good comeback. "You are nothing. We don't even know your name. You are poor, deaf, and...and...

SinclairShock coursed through her.She had been kidnapped, tortured, and sexually assaulted more than a month ago. She thought she had experienced the worst nightmare at that time but she was wrong. The panic coursing in her body right that moment was incomparable.Running from Nicholas was futile but what could she do? He left her no choice.Sobbing hysterically, she locked herself in the women's lavatory, oblivious to anything. She kept crying. Pouring all of her emotions out. It had lasted a while. She didn't care. Knowing she needed this or she would combust with anger.Her sobs turned to hiccups eventually. She was sprawled on the floor. The back of her head hit the tiled wall for support. Drained. Her energy depleted.Trying to think sensibly was a chore. But she had to. The growing life inside took precedence over her anger towards its father.Nicholas was only giving her a re

NicholasWhen it comes to Sinclair's safety, he had no scruples in ensuring his goals were met. He would kill for her. Again and again. Without question.Sylvia did not make it to the asylum. She was assassinated during the transport. Her body was discarded somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.Another possible dark cloud on the horizon vanquished for good. One more to go.A more urgent matter needing his attention had to be dealt with the soonest time possible. He was aware he could no longer put the situation off. The time was right.His fiancee was spending the day with his mother, his sisters, and Lady Louise which gave him a semblance of relief.Nicholas was reluctant to let her out of his sight yet he must. Still, it took Sinclair pushing him out of their bedroom before he relented. They needed a girl's day out, she told him sternly. He grud

NicholasTen more days at the hospital, Sinclair was improving. She no longer slept on her belly, though she found it more comfortable sleeping on top of him. He didn't mind. He was used to it. Preferring to be as close to her as possible.Their tenth day looked promising, she woke up with a faint smile, her soft brown orbs no longer registered discomfort. He felt her staring at him intently, his whole body became alive. Keeping his eyes close to savor the moment, he murmured. "Good morning, sweetheart." Deep voice was gravelly from sleep.After a moment, he heard a faint answer. "Good morning, Nick." There was still a purplish bruise on her jaw, reminding him of her state. She hasn't fully healed yet."How are you feeling?" Her smile faltered. Then she signed slowly.-It's too loud. She complained. Referring to the hearing aide attached to her right ear.

NicholasViscount Redington was back at Sinclair's side by late afternoon. He made sure to bring enough clothes for him and his girl, never wanting to leave her side until she was healed.Mrs. Dee came with him to visit and brought some of Sin's favorite baked goodies. By the time he arrived, the room was filled with vases of fresh roses, stuffed and cuddly plush animals, confections, and get-well-soon gifts. The woman resting in his arms would appreciate all his family and friends had done for her. A kind and gentle soul who didn't deserve such a cold-hearted mother.No matter, Rebecca, the dowager, was more than happy to fill that void.His dark gaze mapped every inch of the delicate beauty visible to him, wishing he could take away her pain. Despite the number of painkillers injected into her, she still winced in her sleep, twisting and turning, trying to find a comfortable spot to lessen her ach

NicholasThe sound of whirlingrotors from the combat helicopters stirred the Thames the balmy air, approaching the docks of St. Katharina, the blades' reduced sounds creating a vortex wind, disturbing objects and dust on its path, they easily found The Green Meadows, its flag dancing on the wind. Landing stealthily, assault rifles ready, in practiced formation, crouched low, they advanced towards their target.A container ship, with a least ten aluminum 20' x 8' TEU, painted in dark blue. Sinclair was in one of those boxes. Possibly being tortured. His jaw clenched."Redington," He heard Lucien through their comms. The Earl had a birds-eye view of the ship, out of sight, his sniper rifle pointed to the vessel. "Concentrate. I count five armed men on the forecastle." After a few seconds, bodies began to fall on the ground and frigid waters. "Clear."Cerdic gave a signal and they b
