Cole could not believe it. He was kissing the woman of his dreams and he was feeling good in all the right places.
Sure, it was in a situation where they were only impersonating, but it did not lessen the amount of satisfaction he felt!
From Joan's chin, his hand moved to the back of her neck. He resumed the pretend kiss. He opened his eyes just a little to marvel at her beauty.
'She looked so beautiful - so fucking sexy,' he thought as he moved his head to the other side.
He relished at how Joan softly nibbled on his lower lip while he took the lead of their dramatic kiss.
Soon enough, he moved her to the bed where they were to lay.
His eyes never left Joan, not even for a second as he aided in settling themselves to the comfortable sheets.
For a second, he watched as Joan's chest slightly heaved in anticipation of their kiss. He silently wondered, 'Is she still pretending?'
Acting or not, he coul
The talk with Monica seemed like an eternity for Cole and Joan, both were eager to get it over and done with.The entire time, Joan's face was burning. She could not even look Cole in the eye.Following their discussion with Cole's manager, Joan diverted her attention to her bag. She noticed her mobile had been vibrating since earlier.She checked her device and saw she had missed calls from Christopher, her Aunt Edith, and even her mother. She frowned, thinking what on earth could they want now.'Not now, though. I still want to talk to Cole,' she said in silence. She put back her phone inside her bag."Okay and that wraps it up! You can go home and go back to whatever it was you were doing earlier," teased Monica. "It's about time, you know."Joan clearly saw the smirk on Monica's face as she turned to leave them behind. She also saw how Cole's adam's apple moved repeatedly, seemingly gulping down his own spew
"Yes, Cole," she replied with her lips trembling.Her conscience ate her up, recognizing she had just admitted to being stirred by his actions!Cole, on the other hand, was elated beyond words, hearing her confirmation. His gaze intensified on Joan's beautiful and flushing face. He kissed her lips again, gently nibbling on her lips.He was delighted by how she responded to him, moreover, by how she was affected by his touch. Never in his wildest dreams did he ever thought this day would come. He had always thought he lost to Christopher miserably.Now... Joan was right before her, kissing him back and allowing him to touch her in places that ignited his arousal.He returned to stroking her skin, especially the softness of her breasts. He played with the tip of her breast, resting her bud in between his fingers and giving it a good tease.Cole massaged her breasts gently before his hand traced her slender frame. He grabbed h
Cole played with her breast while she thought about it. He sent kisses down her neck as he alternately kneaded her bosoms.He noticed how Joan continued to press her legs together while she caressed his back.She was taking deep breaths, just biting her lip and letting herself close her eyes at the feel of his touch. She was bout to give her an answer when she heard her doorbell ring.From inside the hallway, she could hear her mother calling out to her, "Joan? Are you there, sweetheart? I have been calling you for hours now."Cole's eyes literally turned devilish at the interruption. He already imagined himself tasting Joan down there. His manhood had never been so hard in his entire life. Unfortunately, he'll need to hold on to that thought, for Joan's mother was right outside her condominium door.They both panicked as they dressed. Joan went to the nearest bathroom to check on herself. Fortunately, Cole did not leave a m
'That's right. In everyone's eyes, this story is all about Joan and Christopher,' Cole thought with a frown.He looked at Joan, who was equally puzzled by everything, especially after his best friend's candid confession. He wondered silently, 'Will I ever have a place in your heart, Joan?'Cole meant to ask her in person, but three important people in Joan's life were in the way. Just as he was about to speak again, Christopher asked, "Cole, can I speak with you in private, please?"Christopher saw how lost Cole was for a moment that he called him again, "Bud? Can I speak with you outside, please?"Taking a second to glance at Joan, Cole turned back to Christopher and said, "Okay."Joan saw how Cole gave her one last look before walking out the living room and into the hallway of the door. She frowned with the uneasiness that she felt.She acted to move, but Meredith Hale stopped her."Joan, let's have a talk while the boy
Joan was in dreamland, thinking about the sweet kisses she shared with Cole. Then, out of the blue, the image in her head shifted to Cole, walking out the door of her home.In her dream, she called to him frantically, "Cole! Cole, where are you going?"It gave her a sudden pang in her heart that she awoke, gasping for air.Her grey eyes looked at her surroundings but realized that she was in an unfamiliar room. Everything was white, and she felt a pain in her head.She forced herself to get up and only then did she realize that she was in a hospital, with a drip attached to her hand.Her mother, Jessica Belle, was resting on the sofa next to her bed. She called for her, "Mom - Mom. Where - where is Cole?"Jessica Belle was surprised to see her daughter awake. She sat next to her and checked on her consciousness, "Joan, sweetheart, are you feeling okay? Please tell me you remember me.""Of course, Mom. Why would I not
Joan was staring blankly at her phone, feeling nothing but pain in her chest. There was nothing. Not a single message from Cole.'How is it possible?' She asked herself. 'Could Cole have just played me?'In as much as she wanted to believe that he liked her, where was he now? Why hasn't she come to see her? These questions kept running through her mind.Earlier, during Christopher's visit, he kissed her on the cheek and nearly stole one from her lips. Unfortunately, she felt nothing, and she evaded his advances.Joan told Christopher that she wanted to think about her feelings for him. She admitted to being confused, but she did not reveal the specifics of what made her baffled.Maintaining her gaze at her phone, she touched her lips again while closing her eyes, and all she could see was Cole. She hid under the blanket of her hospital bed just thinking about his kiss.A tear fell down her cheek, thinking how could Co
Alexander Belle pondered on whether to help his daughter but seeing her so devastated over the past few days, it gave him an answer.Days after Joan's accident, Cole came looking for Joan in the mansion. Everything about her hospitalization was kept a secret, and it was his wife's doing. Even Lina, Joan's best friend was not made aware.According to the maids, Jessica Belle had a talk with Cole, but as to what they talked about, Alexander knew nothing of.It was clear to him that his wife did not want Cole to find their daughter. Jessica Belle wanted Joan to be with Christopher and they did not want any hindrance to this opportunity, especially now that Christopher had expressed his love for Joan.When he noticed how Joan had not returned to her usual self, locking herself in the room, he knew, she had fallen for Cole. That was the only reason for her sadness.All the more, after their driver confirmed that Joan went o
Two weeks ago. Three days after Joan's accident.Cole came by the Belles' estate. After looking for Joan at her condominium, he decided to visit the Belles' mansion instead.The security and some staff at the condominium building were changed to new ones all of a sudden, and all they could tell Cole was that Joan had not returned for three days.Joan did not answer any of his texts and calls. He was worried sick. He assumed Joan might have chosen to be with Christopher, but he wondered it if was right to leave things just like that. After all, they kissed, and it was a really - really hot and long one.He needed an answer, a proper explanation for leaving him hanging just like that. He earnestly thought he and Joan have established trust and friendship for each other, maybe even more. At least, Cole based it on the way Joan responded to his kisses days back.At first, he wasn't allowed to enter the gates for some reaso
A month after Joan gave birth. On a day without a caregiver, Cole alternately gave Robin and Mason a bath while Joan was resting after breastfeeding throughout the night. Cole came out from the bathroom with Mason, drying him on his crib. "Hey, buddy! You look so handsome! So much like me!" Remarked Cole. Seeing how Mason was stretching out his hands and turning red, he added, "Don't strain yourself, buddy. I know taking a bath feels so good." He put on Mason's diaper and changed him into his blue overalls before giving his little guy a kiss on the head. After looking at Mason with a grin on his face, feeling triumphant with being able to bathe and change his twins on his own, he suddenly heard a loud fart. The familiar and distinct smell filled his nostrils. "Damn." The smile on his face easily disappeared when he realized that Mason had pooped right after taking a bath and putting on a new diaper and clothes.&
Five years passed.On the sunny side of life; the Maldives and from inside a huge family beach villa, the JOLE couple was still sleeping soundly after pulling out an all-nighter, making love."Mommy! Daddy! Wake up! I want to swim at the beach!" Robin called, entering the room of Cole and Joan."No! I want to swim at the pool!" Objected Mason while following behind his sister.They both jumped on top of the bed, bouncing their bodies against in between their parents. The kid's way of waking their parents was very effective, as Joan had already awoken."Oh, guys! We are on vacation. Why can't you sleep some more? It's still seven in the morning!" Joan complained while still yawning.When Mason and Robin saw that their mother was up, they all went at it, waking up Cole."Wake up, Daddy! Wake up!" Urged Robin. "I want to make sandcastles and catch a mermaid!""Let's go swim with Kent, Katie, and
Eight months passed.From inside one studio of ANN network, Carie Umber was smiling from ear to ear in front of her audience. "Hello, ladies!""Aahhhh! We want Daddy Cole!""I'll just have baby, Mason!""Christopher Hale! Ahhh!"Screams of delight efficiently filled the space, knowing who was Carie's special guests for that day.Carie laughed at the crowd before telling, "Yes! that's right! Today, as a special celebration of father's day, we welcome two!" Carie signaled with her fingers before adding, "Two of the hottest Daddies in the city!"Shrieks once again echoed throughout the studio before Carie revealed, "And they happen to be best of friends!""Ladies, mind you... This is an exclusive interview... that will only happen on... An Afternoon with Carie!" Clapping her hands, she announced, "Let's give it up to the Superstar Model, a loving husband and now a father of two, Cole Adams!"The hoots and cheers
"Damn, Chris. You look terrible," remarked Cole during Christopher and Olivia's visit.It was Joan's third day at the hospital and she was due to leave the following day. The twins, however, had to remain as they still needed to stimulate their sucking reflex and gain weight before getting discharged.Olivia and Christopher determined to pay a visit while Joan still had her hospital room.It was on the sofas where the men were catching up with each other."I look terrible?" Christopher sarcastically asked. He pointed a finger at Cole and said, "Just wait till your babies get home. I have one baby and you... you have two."With a frown, Cole leaned back and inquired, "What's that supposed to mean?"Narrowing his eyes at his best friend, Christopher revealed, "Even if you have hired a caregiver... I tell you, Joan, being a mother would prefer to personally look after the babies... And I could say the same thing for you.
Three days passed.Just when Joan and Cole were expecting to deliver their babies at 36 weeks, the doctor announced in front of them, "your cervix is really dilating faster. I think... you will give birth tomorrow or anytime tonight."That made Joan frowned. She looked down at her belly and caressed it with concern written all over her face.Looking up to the doctor, she asked, "Will that be okay?""To be honest, we don't know for sure until they are out. Technically, they are still 34 weeks," responded the doctor. "In any case, we have already given your babies steroids to help mature their lungs. We hope that was enough intervention to make them breathe on their own."Joan felt teary-eyed, worried for her babies' condition. She asked, "What - what happens if they don't breathe on their own?""They will be put into a ventilator and given treatment to help them breathe, but let's hope that we have helped them enough, given the type of
A month after Olivia gave birth, Joan was admitted to the hospital and had been since.She and Cole left for a regular consultation with her doctor, but she was advised to remain in the hospital for complete hospital management of her pregnancy.The doctor found out that her cervix was thinning faster than expected and back then, her babies were still 32 weeks old. There was a risk of her giving birth prematurely, and Joan needed more frequent monitoring.Now, at 34 weeks in the pregnancy, and after staying in the hospital for two full weeks, Joan was feeling completely emotional.She still had fourteen days to go, but she was feeling disgusted about herself. She hated her back pains and the strain on her hips!Everything was so uncomfortable, yet, she could not even get up to take a bath, have proper waste disposal and go to the loo!She was already on complete bed rest before she was admitted to the hospital and thus; she
From inside the Ritz-Carlton Hotel's grand ballroom, many guests, dressed in formal attire, could be seen walking in the direction of the Hale Industries' anniversary party.Several cocktail tables were spread across the hall, allowing the employees to group into their own familiar party. All of them were enjoying a glass of wine and several canapes as they engaged in joyous conversations.Olivia and Christopher were mingling with the other executives in the front-most part of the venue, exchanging pleasantries with one another.Everyone was especially giving their best wishes to Olivia since she was already on her 37th week of pregnancy."I'm sure, your mother is very excited," remarked one of Christopher's directors."Yes, very much," said Christopher before putting a hand behind Olivia's back. He leaned over and whispered, "Are you okay, darling?"Dressed in a long royal-blue maternity gown, Olivia smiled at her hu
"Babe, I have good news for you," said Cole, right after they came from their monthly visit with the doctor.Joan's belly had turned six months old and her doctor's appointment has been weekly, due to the fact that carrying twins was a high risk.While Joan was getting settled in the car, she asked with twinkling eyes, "What is it, babe? Are we going to eat... ice cream?""Ah, we could stop by the shop that offers... protein ice cream," said Cole before forcing a smile."Oooh... That should still be yummy, right?" Joan probed."Absolutely," acknowledged Cole. He helped buckle the seatbelt of his wife before going to the driver's seat and closing the car.After turning on the engine, he revealed, "Anyway, my surprise for you... I don't have any projects for a week! I refused any TV guesting, and I have my new assistant take care of any urgent matters for the apparel company! So, I am free for a week! We could spe
Getting home from their dinner with Cole, Olivia and Christopher first put Katie to sleep in her own room.Since they were now married, Katie rested with her nanny in the other room of Christopher's penthouse.The entire shower time, Christopher had to accompany his wife, worried that she would slip on the floor with her eight-month belly. He helped her get dressed, especially the part where she puts on her underwear.He smirked and said, "It's like taking care of a baby."Olivia laughed and said, "Oh, you have no idea how it is to take care of a baby, darling. I'm telling you...Putting on panties? This does not even compare." She shrugged and added, "Just because I find it hard to bend does not make me a baby!""Stop scaring me." Christopher aided in putting on her sleeping dress and said, "Now... let me prepare our bed.""Okay, darling. Let me just get some water," said Olivia before walking out the door.Whi
