LOGINMarley lifted her chin defiantly.“You have no right.”“I have all the right Miss Neils. You are bound to me for six months as my bride.” He replied, and his eyes moved over her face, lingering at her lips.“And even the right to kiss you right here.” He whispered.Marley hiccuped. He was standing so close to her and though nothing was behind her to restrict her from running away, Marley found her feet imprinted to the ground.Her eyes subconsciously went to his lips and lingered there too. The scene of that night replayed once more. Their lips devouring each other.She had tried suppressing the memories of that night, of kissing him but now that he was standing so close and what he had just uttered, Marley couldn't help herself.Anthonio's eyes were still on her lips, and how they parted a little; then he dragged his eyes away to meet hers.She was also staring at his lips then she brought her eyes to his and he felt his breath go shallow.Her eyes reflected that night’s desire, th
Marley swirled the wine in her glass and watched it froth before stilling down.She brought the glass to her lips and took a sip.“Old habits never die, right?” Captain watched her, his fork midway to his lips.“Huh?”“That.” He pointed to the glass of wine. “You loved doing that before drinking your wine.”“You observe the unnecessary things, Captain,” Marley said, setting the glass down.“You are not an unnecessary thing, Neils,” Captain replied, holding her eyes, then she looked elsewhere and cleared her throat.“How is the headquarters?” She asked, trying to change the subject, and Captain accepted it.“The same as usual. Catching criminals and doing what they usually do.”Marley nodded her head.“Though it's not the same without you. We need our sergeant back.”“I'll be back after the mission.”“Which has taken up three years of your life already.”Marley sighed. “I have to catch the culprit. You know that.”“Yes I do but it's consuming you.”Marley's chin rose instinctively. “I
“Mr Kalvey seeks your presence ma'am.” The caretaker told Marley immediately she got in.“Ohh. Where is he?“In his study.”Marley raised her brows. “His study?”The caretaker nodded. “If you would excuse me, I'd love to check on my cooking.”Marley nodded her head and the caretaker went away.Minutes later, Marley walked through the garden and the hallway arriving at the rear end she took the right turn.This was all too surprising. Anthonio was calling her into the study she had longed to investigate. Why?Her heart thumped faster and she felt like she was stepping into the lion's den.She reached the door and knocked softly.“Come in.” She heard his invitation from inside and she twisted the knob and stepped in.Anthonio was sitting on a chair and he held a book in his hand, but he was looking up and when she stepped in, their eyes immediately met and held.Marley cleared her throat averting her eyes and glancing around.“I thought you said this place was forbidden.”“Yes.”She br
Marley's head stung as memories of last night flooded in.Memories of everything that conspired between her and Anthonio.Of her pleas, of the hotness and wetness between her legs, and then of the blissful relief and release she had felt when he had thrusted his finger into her core.She swallowed the bile in her throat and shut her eyes tight, as if by doing so she could get the memories out of her head.But more were flooding in.Fuck!!! What mess has she gotten herself into?What would the headquarters have to say about this?She dared not mention it to them. They would be so disappointed. This wasn't the mission.How could she?Marley dragged her hands through her hair cursing herself.Then she shifted away the sheets and got down from the bed. It was when she stood up that she realized what she was wearing.A shirt. Definitely Anthonio's.Had anything else happened that she hasn't recalled?Just as she took a step to leave the room, a door beside her flung open and the devil hims
Why can't you make me better?” She stared up at him intensely.“Me? How?”“By touching me.”Anthonio stiffened. “You aren't in your right senses Miss Neils. Let me try to get in touch with my doctor again.”Anthonio turned to leave but Marley shot her hand out and gripped his, halting his movement.“Anthonio…. Please touch me.”“I can't. Not in this state.”“But I feel like I'll die if I'm not touched. I'm aching so bad down there and I need something to be inside me. I need you inside me.” She slurred.“Please just touch me.”Anthonio shook his head. “No I can't do that to you. You will hate me later.”“I won't. I am the one asking for it. Please Anthonio. I'll die if you don't.”“No one's dying.”“You don't know that. I feel an immense ache and pain and I need help.”“I'm trying to contact my doctor….”“But she isn't picking and I don't think a doctor can solve this.”Marley's grip on Anthonio's hand tightened. “Please.”Anthonio's back was still stiff and turned away from her. Her
Anthonio felt eyes on him and he caught Selene; his mother's oldest friend staring at him and talking to Marley.He looked away before Marley could turn her head, and smiled at Felicia.Out of the corner of his eyes, he watched Marley chatting with his mother and friends then she moved to a corner.Felicia's hand came to rest on his hand and he forced a smile.He could still feel Marley's eyes on him but didn't look up.When he finally looked up, she was rounding a corner but her footsteps weren't balanced. She was staggering.Had she drunk?When?He cut off Felicia and her flirty gesture and excused himself.He followed the corner Marley had gone through.He heard her voice before he saw her.“Help..” it came like a whisper and his pupils dilated when he saw a man dragging her away.“Marley!” The man glanced back at him before swearing and pushing Marley.She fell to the ground.“Marley!” He rushed to meet her.Her eyes were open a little and she smiled when she saw him.“Marley, ar
Marley moved quietly in that direction, her heart thumping fast.She knew it was foolish to follow someone who may be dangerous or armed without being armed herself.She had forgotten to take her pocket knife with her, so now she was left with her fists.She reached the end and turned sharply to th
“Hey, girlie.”Marley's stomach churned at the voice. No one needed to tell her who was calling.How did this crook get her number?“It isn't three weeks yet Don.”“Yeah, I know girlie. I'm just checking up on you, in case you wanna pull any funny business I just wanted you to know you can't run aw
Mrs. Kalvey opened the door and welcomed someone in.Anthonio's eyes darkened when he saw who it was.Benita.“What the….” Mandy gasped behind Anthonio, also not expecting Benita to be here.Benita smiled awkwardly at the two siblings whose eyes were sending daggers her way.Mrs. Kalvey broke the t
A woman stood at the threshold of the Australia airport.“Home sweet home.” She breathed in and removed her dark shades.“Where is he?” She glanced at her wrist watch.“Benita.” She turned her head to the voice and smiled.“Peter.”Peter stepped up to her and hugged her.“Why are you just coming no
