Olivia's eyes popped open, startled out of a deep sleep, hearing her blaring alarm clock go off, blasting the words! "If you liked it, you shoulda put a ring on it!" It was Beyonce's song screaming in his ear. She closes her eyes and turns off the pink and black alarm clock on the night table beside the bed. But that’s when a body next to hers begins to stir. Collin opens his eyes, disturbed by the blaring alarm. He looked around the unfamiliar room as the song loudly repeated itself. He grabs his chest and lets out a deep sigh of relief once the music stops.Collin turns his head, and instead of seeing the other side of his empty bed. He sees a head full of long hair. With a soft pink sheet wrapped around her body. Collin thought he must be dreaming as he asked himself, "Is this the mother of my babies?" He quietly lifts her hair from her face.

"I see you are still a little uptight. Relax, we didn't sin." She nodded rather than trusting herself to agree or speak because she was unprepared to interact with this good-looking flesh and blood of a man she assumed she had sex with and for sure he was her husband.Olivia sat down at the table across from him. "Tell me what you remember? Don't leave out anything."She said in a remarkably calm voice, breathtakingly beautiful even first thing in the morning. 'I knew I made a good choice.' He mutters."Okay, promise me you will remain calm like this?"He took her small hand, his thumb caressing the soft flesh over her knuckles. As he lowered his head, his lips replaced his thumb."Now, if you don't remain calm, dear, I’m not going to tell you anything, you got that?" She could feel him tighten his grip the instant he touched her, attempting to extract her fingers. His head came up slowly."Take a sip of your coffee first." Those sable eyes met and captured his pair of dark brown

Secret desires are those things we deny ourselves, perhaps because we think it’s not something we should do because, in some kind of way, we feel it’s wrong. Or possibly bad because it just feels so good. Or could we feel it’s someone we didn't think we should be with because of their background or lifestyle? Olivia tried to abstain because she knew that once she had gone all the way, she would never find her way back. She shook her head. ‘Deja kept secrets from me, too, and she hasn’t told me out of her mouth that she wants to get back with her ex-husband, Holland. So why shouldn’t I keep a little secret of my own.’She was thrilled about her new life with Collin. But she grappled over how she was going to control her needs. Olivia realizes how much she desires this man in every way.‘I guess I will focus on the celebration of this wedding, where it all will come out at the ceremony. I would never do anything to take away from my best friend's happiness. So, I will continue to work

Excitedly, I left the department store where I'd purchased a beautiful dress that I knew my husband, Holland, would love. It's our third anniversary, and he's taking me to our special place to celebrate tonight. When I returned home from shopping, exhausted, I plopped on the sofa and turned on the television. Whose face do I see? It's my husband Holland on the news! "What on earth is Holland during on the news!"The reporter congratulated him on acquiring a costly ruby necklace at a renowned auction. “Mr. Halston! One more question. Do you have anyone special in mind to whom you plan to gift this costly necklace?”I immediately sat up with keen interest! Holland looked handsome and clean-cut, with remarkable sharp, perfectly symmetrical features. High cheekbones blended into a lean jaw and strong chin. He flashed that million-dollar smile that made my heart swoon when he gazed directly into the camera and told the reporter. “I plan to give this necklace to someone very special to m

"What? Holland, you are so cruel! You devastated me tonight with your actions, and now you insult me! How can you stand there and say something so evil? For three long years, all I tried to be to you was a good wife! Holland looked at me with disdain and walked away.Angry and confused by the accusation hurled at me. I was shocked that after all this time, he thought I married him for his money. I couldn't believe those hurtful words came out of the mouth of the man I married. This was so unlike him. I stood there staring at him with a sad expression because the pain was so deep and hurt. “Don't look at me that way! Your tears are fake! And you are full of pretense!”“Don’t say that! It isn’t true. I love you, Holland.” I broke down and sobbed even more.“I know the game you are playing, and you've been busted, Amanza! You are no different from all the other women! They act all sweet in the beginning! Spewing lies about how they love you! When they are only after my money! And yo

The response to my text came back immediately. "I'll be there shortly." I still felt a mixture of sadness and anger, but primarily revengeful! I couldn't stop the fall of my tears as they leaked from under my closed lids. When I opened my eyes, they landed on the ripped-up check at my feet. "The nerve of him to offer me money! Like I'm some cheap prostitute!" This swirl of mixed emotions came in and out of my heart and mind as to how he cowardly abandoned me on our anniversary day for an ex-girlfriend, Susan Hubbard! I'm so furious right now!“How could he treat me this way! After I put up with his crappy family and all of his bull in this marriage!”My ride was on the way, so I hurried and went into the bathroom. I looked into the mirror, seeing the mascara running from my eyes down my cheek. I hop into the shower to clean up. I want to look my best for my night out in town. I patted myself dry, moisturized my skin, and found the sexiest dress. I brushed my hair and secured it wit

When I looked at the time, it was around 11:45 p.m. The day of my anniversary has been nothing but one disappointing surprise after another. But tonight, it’s ending with a bang! The biggest surprising thing was yet to come. On my anniversary, I received a picture of a pregnancy test and a message that my husband's mistress was going to have his baby.Olivia took the phone and read the text. “That whore! Don’t give her the satisfaction of responding. Don’t let her see you sweat. Deal with it on your own time! Wait until tomorrow, make her wait, and leave her wondering.She was right. So I sat on the bed and removed my heels from my tired feet. 'What was I thinking? If he wants Susie, then he can have her! ' I burst into tears because I didn’t mean it. The mere thought of thinking about him with her broke me. I rocked back and forth, crying nonstop.“Oh, Olivia, I don’t want to lose him. What should I do?”“You are not going to let them get away with this! That’s what you are going to

"Yes, give me one second to pull up this song on my playlist." She stood there smiling, looking up at how handsome he was under the moonlight while listening to the water caress the shore. A song she never heard before came on; Collin took her around the waist and settled his hand at the small of her back as they began to sway slowly and softly to beat to the song called "Paris in the Rain."He sang the song in her ear as they were moving in sync with the beat. His lips caressed the tender parts of her earlobe, and his voice melted her body, leaving it like whipped butter. Closing her eyes, it felt as if she was floating away; it felt like a dream that she didn't ever want to end. Collin continues to sing, placing his lips ever closer to her ear singing, fondling her earlobe with his lips and making her soft release moans of ecstasy. The love sounds she made were more exhilarating than the thrills of fans screaming his name. He wanted to call out her name over and over. When he gaze
When Regret Isn't Enough 81. Be My Lady
Olivia honestly felt no pressure, just happiness, being and talking with Collin. She sat here tonight with him at candlelight dinner. There were sides of him that she simply loved. His cute, talkative way about him. And then there was this other side of him, this masculine, sultry, sexy young man sitting here with her, possessing a magnetic force that was making it difficult for her to resist him sexually.Even though, reluctantly, she was helping Holland have a surprise wedding for Deja, her best friend. She had her own decision she needed to make in regard to her and Collin. Since they spent time together, it was almost as if he could tell over time that she was surrendering without verbally saying it. Their conversation with him last night was quite intriguing."Yes, you know I'm not a traditional guy, nor am I average, so why live an average, ordinary life? Why waste time dating while at the same time being committed to only one person? That sounds like marriage to me. So why can'

Holland rolled over onto his back. "You mean we should get married again?" He chuckled. "Why baby, we are legally already husband and wife.""Yes, I know, but honestly, did you mean those vows when you said them to me?"The stress came over his face. His mind was in the thralls of making love for the first time in three years to his deliciously sexy wife, and now he's being stopped dead in his tracks! And he's a little bit shaken at her suggestion."You just said you would do anything to prove that you love me, and if you are sincere, I want to start over Holland. The first time was sudden, and it was a sham on your part. This time ,I want us to be seriously committed to one another and for everyone to know.""Is this everyone, meaning Susie Hubbard?""Especially her, Holland. You talked to her tonight and didn't mention anything to me. Other than what you thought I wanted to hear."He glanced at me. By the way, I held a frowning gaze with a healthy dose of curiosity and mistrust. Hol

"There's no turning back. So let's vow to put aside our three-year drought of a sometimes sexless and loveless marriage. I’m willing to give you what I want and what you want, Amanza. That way, we'll never have to be apart once we do this. You'll become my obligation. I want to start over again, vowing to you right now I promise to protect you, and love you and you'll be all mine."I laughed softly, "I don't feel married to you. But to be honest, Holland. For the last year of our marriage you have been more committed to someone else than to me. If I give into this temptation by letting everyone know we are married. I stand to lose a lot. I’m not the Amanza you knew. I’m an heir to a jewelry empire. I have so much to lose.""I want everyone to know we are in love. What can I do other than make it known to the world that I am your man, Amanza?"At this moment, utterly weak, fighting to be strong. I want to give in, but what will tomorrow bring? Will I have a shattered heart and life aga

I did that, and now you don't have to worry about me having a divided heart.""What about my heart?" I smiled, asking him."I like everything about your heart. The good and the bad." He leaned in to kiss me, his cold lips sending shivers that had more to do with the heat than the ice cream."Okay, okay. Good answer. So I will let you help me eat the rest of this ice cream." I say, kissing him again."You can't eat a pint of ice cream alone in one sitting, can you?""Yes, I can eat a pint in about five minutes by myself. That's how much I love ice cream." I said, leaping off the counter with the ice cream carton in my hand."Oh no, I can't let you eat all this ice cream alone. That would be a sin!""Come over here and join me," I say, taking off playfully and running away.After having me tell him I could consume the ice cream, Amanza hurried to grab a spoon as he took a seat nex
