When he called her at half-past five to tell her he would be late, she sounded disappointed. It was her disappointment that prompted him to hurry and get home as soon as possible to spend at least a little time with her before she retired to her chambers. He was burning with the desire to talk to her and meet her. He didn't want to play with Josephine. Her openness, honesty, and inexperience were a real refreshment for him.
The picture from her bathroom kept rolling over his head as she took off her T-shirt and jeans in front of him. Every day he longed for her more and more and he couldn't wait for the day when she would come to his bed, longing for his touch. Although he promised her that he would give her time to think about his offer, that did not mean that he would not try to seduce her and get what he wanted. Hell, she wanted him too, he felt it. He saw it in her looks and the unconscious movements he noticed in the moments when she thought no one was looking at
The weight of Theo's body pressed against the couch. They were both breathing intermittently as if they had just run a marathon. She stretched her leg and ran her toes over the back of his thigh. She couldn't stop smiling. Even as his tremors of pleasure turned into slight twitches, she still held him close. This was more than a great experience. Moreover, she will be able to enjoy his beautiful body and exceptional sexual skills all year round. The thought of the end and parting made her a little upset, but she quickly dismissed the bad thoughts and took a deep breath of the scent of the man who was still deep inside her. "This was ..." "Fantastic, he finished for her." Was it really as nice to him as it was to her? He had many wives, while she could count her connections on the fingers of one hand and again three fingers would be left without a name. Maybe he kept a record and wrote down what it was like in bed. She wanted to ask him but gave up for fear of a negat
The advantages of flying with a private jet are sweeter in the company of a beautiful woman. After making love at ten thousand meters and a few hours of sleep, they should both feel relaxed and fresh. But, unfortunately, even after all that, Theo still felt Josephine's uneasiness as they approached the destination, and he did everything he could to distract her. He booked a room in a hotel next to the airport with the intention of spending the night there and only showing up in Albania the next day, but his family imagined meeting the newlywed duchess a little differently. When their plane landed in the early morning hours, Theo noticed that Josephine was very upset. To calm her down, he hugged her around the shoulder and led her toward the exit. On his advice, she wore worn-out jeans and a long-sleeved T-shirt. He told her that there was no need to dress up for the driver since at the hotel they would both have enough time to rest, shower, and dress up before stepping into the pala
The further they moved away from London, the more beautiful and greener the landscape became. Instead of smog and gray London mists, meadows, and gentle hills lined up in front of them, Josephine tried to relax next to Theo, who had just told her about his sister, otherwise her peer. "Gwen has always wanted me to settle down." Josephine winced. "Don't you think she will ..." she began, but she stopped abruptly and looked at the driver. She wanted to ask Theo if his sister would be disappointed when the two separated after a year. Theo looked at her in astonishment, obviously not understanding what she wanted to ask him. "You two will get along great. Gwen is a good person. She may be a little spoiled, but she's not malicious. ”Josephine decided to postpone talking about his sister until later when they were completely alone. She was burdened by the fact that she would consciously deceive all the people she met. Some may fall in love with her and be disappointed when
The men first used fragrant cookies and canapes, which stood on a table, and only then did they take cups of tea. "Have you been to Europe before?" Linda asked her as she poured tea into a lovely, porcelain field. "Yes, when I was a high school student." "Then you know we drink tea here at this time. Theo explained. Gwen waved her hand away. "Don't listen to him. He is allergic to anything that is authentic English. That's why none of us were surprised that Theo married an American. ” “ Gwen! ”Linda scolded. "It's the living truth." Josephine laughed. "It's not my fault that I'm not interested in European women," Theo defended himself clumsily. Howard stopped eating to ask Themphine a question. "So you and Josephine met?" Theo and Josephine agreed that Theo would answer all the questions about their acquaintance and relationship so that they wouldn't give different answers. "No." "And how long have you known each other," said Mary, Theo's aunt
Even after seven days spent in Europe, Josephine was still feeling the effects of the jet lag. Besides, life in lies was especially difficult for her. Even cold-blooded Theo seemed to be slowly cracking at the seams. Everything was ready for tomorrow's reception, but it took Josephine a little time to spend it as far away from Theo's demanding relatives as possible. So she snuck into the library to stay there until further notice, but Theo found her anyway. "There you are." Theo looked great in his elegant dark pants and light sweater, which accentuated his broad shoulders. "I thought you went to the office." He shook his head. "I couldn't leave you today." Josephine was confused. "How is today different from the others?" Theo grabbed his chest and pretended to have a heart attack. "I can't believe you forgot." Josephine laughed. "Don't give up your job because of that bad acting," she joked. "You really don't know what day it
As they came out of the forest, a clearing appeared in front of them, through which a crystal clear stream meandered, overgrown with willow and hornbeam trees. Now it became clear to her why Theo loved this place so much. She imagined him sitting by the stream as a boy and throwing pebbles into it. "Is this clearing part of your property?" The property covers more than two hundred hectares. But this is by far the most beautiful place for me. ” “ It's fantastic, Theo. On the other side of the clearing stood a lovely log cabin. Theo approached the creek and dismounted. "We'll let the horses drink the water first, then we'll tie them up." Josephine got off her horse and felt the muscles in her legs tremble slightly, but otherwise, she felt great. When the horses finished watering, she asked him, "How often do you use this log cabin?" For a while, I was the only one who came here, and since I moved from Albany, I think Gwen started using it from time to time. ”
They swayed in passionate ecstasy for a few moments until she lifted her buttocks and put her hand inside her They moved rhythmically and harmoniously like two instruments in a perfectly coordinated orchestra. Theo's strong arms, wrapped around her buttocks, guided her and led her to a common goal. When her whole body trembled from a strong orgasm, he accelerated his own rhythm and very quickly joined her in sailing the waters of paradise. The others clung to each other for a long time. As they began to whisper tenderness to each other, Josephine realized she was in nasty trouble. That she fell in love with her husband was not in the plan at all. Despite the sincerity they swore to each other, she didn't think it wise to say her newfound feelings out loud. As their breathing gradually evened out and the heat of their bodies eased, Josephine gently pulled herself out of his embrace. The loud rumbling of her stomach came to her as ordered. "I'm starving," she said. The c
Upon returning to America, Josephine immediately rushed to the moon to visit Ana. She was tormented by a pang of conscience because she enjoyed Gwen's company in Europe and spent time with her husband, while her sister lay helpless here. As she stepped into her room, she found her sitting in a wheelchair with her gaze directed out the window. Her blonde hair was gathered with a plain rubber band, and her pink T-shirt was stained with food. "Hello, darling," Josephine greeted her as she approached. Ana only briefly parted her lips in a smile, since after the stroke she could not smile otherwise. Her eyes lit up slightly when she saw her sister. She raised a healthy hand and wrapped it around Josephine's neck. "N ... I missed you ... we," Ana stammered. "And you to me." Although she actually missed only one visit, Josephine knew that her sister's absence had lasted like an eternity. There wasn’t much that would get her younger sister out of bed. "Did you eat anything?"
The first night she returned to California, Josephine slept on an extra bed by Ana's bed. She screwed up. She would have the money to take care of her sister, and she ended up with a new responsibility. An innocent child will be born, the fruit of a selfish, dominant father and a selfish mother. The first night she returned to California, Josephine slept on an extra bed by Ana's bed. She screwed up. She would have the money to take care of her sister, and she ended up with a new responsibility. An innocent child will be born, the fruit of a selfish, dominant father and a selfish mother. What a horrible date! And all that for what? Josephine could somehow manage, she could provide funds for Ana's care even without Theo's millions. But it was much easier for her to accept his offer and make her life more carefree. Alice kicked the guy out of her apartment after she found him rummaging through the files of new clients with whom she had signed a contract for the Alliance
Thinking of Vanessa, blood rushed to his head. What he currently felt for his ex-lover overcame even the hatred he had nurtured for years for his insensitive, cruel father. At the moment, all he had in mind was to get revenge on her properly. Theo picked up the phone and called several people he had asked for a favor. Leo had a lot of friends in the New York police. "Leo, my friend, you need to do something for me." Twenty-four hours later, Theo stood in front of a luxury building in Manhattan, his fingers intertwined so tightly that even Josephine would envy him. It was hard for him not to follow her. But despite the fact that her departure hurt him like a living wound, he could not appear before Josephine until he took revenge on Vanessa for what she had done. He smelled her sweet floral perfume before he saw her. His heart was beating faster, but not because he felt something for her, but out of pure hatred. If she so vilely ruined his life with Josephine, then he
When he entered the apartment, Josephine noticed his confusion out of the corner of her eye. "Josephine?" She spent the afternoon thinking about what to say to him. At first, she thought she should just pack up and leave him speechless, but it wasn't in her style to run away like a coward and throw in his face everything she had to say. Besides, she couldn't leave without hearing his side. "When did you mean to tell me?" She said as soon as he stepped into the room, which was so tense at the time that it was like a minefield, not an ordinary room. "What can I tell you?" "You spent the whole day with a lawyer. You must have talked about your father's will. Theo didn't move. Josephine slowly turned her head towards him, but only after a few moments of hesitation did she look up and direct it at his face. Just then she noticed how his eyes flashed when he saw the glass in her hand. Even now he cared more about the child than he did about her. That's why
At the last medical examination, two days before the trip, together they saw the outlines of their unborn child on the screen of the ultrasound machine and listened to the beating of his tiny heart. Josephine's eyes filled with tears, and his throat tightened with excitement. It was a feeling that could not be compared to anything he had felt before. In fact, it was, Theo thought. His gaze wandered to Josephine, who stood surrounded by his relatives. His heart suddenly filled with pleasant warmth and some invisible force pushed him towards her. The moment he hugged her, he experienced enlightenment: his love for the unborn child mingled with another strong feeling. Love for Josephine. Instead of running away from those potentially dangerous feelings, Theo happily embraced them, as if they were the best possible hand in poker. Since he had enough time to read Josephine's feelings for him, he had no reason to bluff and hide his own. After all, as in the cards, so in life, Theo n
Morning sickness worsened instead of getting better. Well, that was a hassle! Theo, the actor as he was, agreed that her morning "discomfort" was a hassle, but he promised to help her until she got better. They agreed not to tell anyone about the pregnancy, at least not until the first three months have passed, due to the possibility of complications and abortion. Although the doctor assured them after six weeks that everything was going well and that they had no reason to worry, they still decided to wait for the good news to be revealed. Josephine didn't say anything even to Alice, which wasn't easy. However, she thought it was so much better than her best friend didn’t accidentally fail to mention it to someone. As promised, Theo was really there for her. Of course, there were situations when he had to travel to Europe, no longer than three days, which was a hassle for Josephine, but luck was three times greater when he returned. Days of living together followed. The nights, too,
Josephine knew that she could give up the child or have an abortion, which was certainly a worse solution for her health. After all, they are both adults, not teenagers who have been hit by something they are not up to. He will talk and make a reasonable decision. When she got out of the tub, the severe headache eased a little and turned into a slight tingling in the back of her head. She refreshed her face with a little moisturizer and soaked the gel below her eyes, and she already felt much better. When she came out of the bathroom in a soft, white robe, she thought Theo was still asleep. But he had been awake for a long time. He was standing next to the tray he had brought from the kitchen, still in the crumpled clothes in which he had lain down last night. In addition to the freshly squeezed orange juice, several plates were lined up on a tray; on one were salty crackers, on the other soft cheese, and on the third hard-boiled eggs. "What's this supposed to mean?" Theo gr
He needs to talk to Josephine tonight, Theo thought. He can't hide the secret about his father's will from her forever. After all, they vowed to be honest with each other. In fact, Josephine's fairness and incorruptibility made him a better man. Jeff's suggestion that he forced her to become pregnant seemed completely inappropriate to him. Could it fall on such low branches? Maybe he could if it was someone else. But, except for Josephine, there were not many in the world who had a good opinion of him. That's why they didn't want to spoil it. Her trust was the only thing he genuinely cared about. When he entered his villa in Malibu, it was about six in the afternoon. The first thing he heard upon entering the house was Merino chattering around the kitchen. "I hope you've made enough food for two," he called to her from the kitchen door. "Oh, you've arrived. Thank goodness. I was already thinking of calling you. ” “ Call me? Why? Is something wrong? ”He
Theo's stay in New York lasted until Wednesday, which would have made it much harder for Josephine to feel better. She took advantage of his absence and scheduled an examination with her longtime friend and the doctor she went to and prescribed some reliable form of contraception. As she sat at the examination table in the hospital nightgown, Josephine wrapped her arms around herself to warm herself in the cool room. Due to her concern for her sister and the fear that her fake marriage would be broken, she often could not sleep at night, her appetite was getting worse and she was getting tired faster than before. Before entering the office, Dr. Luna knocked softly on the door. She was a middle-aged woman who had taken care of Josephine's health since her teenage days. She was the one who prescribed her every antibiotic she took in her life, and she held her hand after her mother's death. "Finally to see you here. I just recently wondered where you were and what you were doin
