Sam leaned down and kissed her first on the forehead, then her nose, and then gently on her lips. When she eagerly opened her mouth for him, he plunged in his tongue and began tasting her.Chan groaned softly, loving the feeling of his taut, hard body on top of her, loving the way he kissed her, so deep and wild and passionate.When Sam moved back, she was breathless and dazed, her body weak and eager for more of the man touches and kisses.He slipped his hand inside her sleeping blouse and cupped her breast while he was kissing her about her nape at the same time.Chan groaned softly. “Oh, Sam...”Sam licked his hot tongue against her skin, causing her to squirm and clutch on to him. Within moments, he stripped her naked, her sleeping blouse, shorts, and panties gone.Lying there utterly naked, Chan flushed hot from head to toe. She didn’t miss that Sam was staring at her either, his eyes dark with passion.“Fuck, you’re beautiful,” he said, his voice low and deep and gruff.“You, to
It was a Sunday a few weeks later when Chan and her sisters finally had the chance to go through the many items Sam and Jeremy had found in their old house’s attic. Sam led them to the storage in the basement of the Harrington’s headquarters building. There, he unlocked and then opened one of the many storage doors and said, “Take your time going through them.”“Thanks, Sam,” Soriya said.Before he left, Sam gave Chan a light kiss on the forehead. When he moved back, he said, “I’ll be up in the office doing some work.”Chan nodded, and a moment later, he was gone.Dara switched on the light and then headed inside.Soriya said, “I can’t believe we missed checking the attic. But I was sure we’d never put anything up there.”Chan said, “We certainly hadn’t, but I guess Mom and Dad had.”Dara nodded.The sisters started checking the boxes filled with items from their childhood, back when their family had still been one. Chan found more photo albums, and as she flipped through the photogra
It was Monday afternoon, and Sam had just returned from a meeting when what he had expected to happen for a while now finally happened.Mrs. Wakefield was at his door, looking more than a little flustered when she said, “There are some people here to see you. I’m not sure what to do with them, Sam. Tracey from downstairs told them to make an appointment first if they wanted to meet with you, but they refused. They want to see you now. They said they’re related to Chan. I mean, I don’t see how, since they look nothing alike but…”Sam asked, “What are their names, Anna?”“Amie Natt and Lisa Moore,” Mrs. Wakefield said.Standing behind him, Jim asked, “Should I go talk to them?”Sam shook his head. “There’s no need.” To Mrs. Wakefield, he said, “Why don’t you bring them up? I have a few spare minutes to set them straight.”Mrs. Wakefield said, “Set them straight?”Sam chuckled. “It’s a family thing.”Mrs. Wakefield widened her eyes. “Oh, I see. Well, yes, of course. I’ll bring them right
Sam leaned forward in his seat and clasped his hands together. “Do you happen to know what the names are of the people who sold the house to us, by any chance?”Lisa nodded. “Of course, we know. It’s Chandra Chandler.” She leaned forward. “I don’t know if you’ve met the girl or not, Mr. Harrington, but I assure you, the bitch isn’t a nice girl. She’s not someone to be trusted.”Amie said, “I suppose they must have been desperate, those girls. Did they jump at the chance when your men came around to make the offer?”Sam chuckled. Jump at the chance? Rather, Chan and her sisters were the few who had refused to sell in the first place, since the house had been the only thing their father had left them. Sam said, his voice suddenly dark and hard, “Look, Mrs. Natt and Mrs. Moore, I believe you’re making a big mistake.”“A big mistake?” Lisa asked. “Whatever do you mean, Mr. Harrington?”Amie said, “There is no mistake, Mr. Harrington. And I believe we’re doing the right thing. That house
Chan was more than a little nervous when she drove into the underground parking lot of the Harrington Group building. It was a Wednesday morning, and she and her sisters had arrived, as planned, for the morning tea. This would be her first time meeting most of Sam’s employees, and she hoped she didn’t make a fool of herself. As her sisters had said, she was, after all, the boss’ girlfriend, and she needed to look and act the part, not that she knew how, of course.Once she parked the car, they got out, and a moment later, with containers of baked goods in their hands, they headed up to the elevator. When the door opened on the first floor, Chan saw Mrs. Wakefield rush toward them, a big grin on her face.“I’ve been waiting,” she said. “You should have messaged me when you got here.”Dara said, “Sorry. We forgot.”Soriya whispered to the older woman, “Chan was really nervous before we came, you know.”“Oh, was she?” Mrs. Wakefield raised a brow as she eyed Chan, who still looked nervou
“What’s in the will?” Dara asked. “I mean Dad didn’t really abandon us like in the other one, right?”Jeremy said, “Far from it. In this one, he’s giving you everything.”Chan felt a bit dazed suddenly. Everything? Dad was giving everything to them? But what about the other will?She said, “But this one might not be legit. I mean you said that you found it up in the attic so it must be just a draft?”Keith said, “It’s legit, Chandra. I’ve checked it, which is why I’m here.”Dara asked, “To talk to us about it?”Keith nodded. “It’s important you understand what’s in the will and what action you’ll need to take next.”Chan shifted her gaze to Sam who nodded his head at her.Jeremy said, “Do you want to know what’s in your father’s will? What he’s giving you?”Chan said, “You said it’s everything he owns, right? Then there are just the old house in Auckland, the holiday house we’ve sold to your company, Sam, number six of Bay View Avenue, and a few hundred thousand dollars in savings. Ex
Sam’s smartphone rang, drawing his attention away from Jeremy.“Who is it?” Jeremy asked.Sam picked up the phone and said, “Marian.”“Marian? She doesn’t usually call during work hours unless it’s an emergency.”Sam nodded in agreement. He accepted the call and said, “Marian? What’s the matter?”“Hey, Sam.” Marian’s voice came through from the other side of the line. “Chan’s in bed. She’s pretty sick.”Sam frown. “Chan’s sick?”“Mm-hmm. She threw up twice.”Jeremy asked, “What? Chan is sick? But she looked fine just before.”To Marian, Sam said, “Okay. I’ll be home soon. Thanks.”He was about to end the call when Marian said, “She said my food smells. That is to say the smell of my food makes her throw up.”Sam frowned for a moment.Marian continued. “You might want to get Adam to do a general checkup on her.” She chuckled. “And maybe get a pregnancy test kit on your way home.”That got Sam’s interest. Suddenly, he burst out laughing. “Thanks, Marian. Bye now.”“No problem,” Marian s
The group barged into the living room and invaded the space, which made Chan laugh. Lilly rushed over to her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. When the little girl moved back, she said, “Soriya said you’re sick. Are you okay?”Chan nodded. “Yes, I’m fine now. And how was school?”Lilly said, “School was fun. We did lots of stuff, and we learned lots of stuff, too.”“That’s good to hear,” Chan said.“Right, kids,” Jeremy said, drawing not only the kids, but Chan and her sisters’ attention to him as well. “Uncle Jeremy is here to entertain. What shall we do?”Timothy put his hands up. “Can we play in the pool?”Jeremy nodded his head. “Sure. What about swimsuits?”“How about I phone Adam to pick them up?” Sam said suddenly from the doorway. “He’s coming anyway.”The moment she saw her father, Lilly rushed over to the man. “Daddy!”Sam chuckled as he bent to his knees, his arms wide. Then he picked the little girl up and gave her a peck on the cheek. “Now, how about something to eat?”“Y
