Iris closed the door of her tiny apartment and leaned against it, panting for breath. What an escape she had! Her mind and heart were in a chaotic state after Maddox’s passionate kiss. She hadn’t expected she would like it so much! It had been her first. Yet she was addicted!

She clutched her heart, feeling it thump wildly. It seemed her heart would leap out of its cage. She had expected him to punish her, abuse her, snatch his payment, and throw her out of his bedroom like trash. But Maddox L

  • A Reckless Dream   Epilogue

    Maddox held her hands in his and kneeled before her. His eyes glazed with raw emotion as he stared at her. Esme grinned knowingly while Deborah gasped with pleasure. But Iris stared at the gorgeous man before her.Was he proposing? It couldn’t be. After what she had gone through, she considered herself God’s unloved child. She had never been lucky. Then how did God fulfil her dreams this time?“Oh!” she gasped and stood in a daze, placing a hand on her thumping heart.Maddox smiled, knowing exactly how she felt. This was an ethereal moment he hadn’t thought he’d experience ever. The world stopped revolving around him, and the only one he could see was Iris.“Iris, from the moment we met, I knew you were my missing piece. I don’t believe in love at first sight. Yet I fell for you that very moment. I tried every way to keep you by my side. Maybe it worked, and you stayed by my side. Every day, I fell more in love with you until you left me abruptly. I went crazy. Yet I survived it. Do y

  • A Reckless Dream   Chapter Seventy-Two – A Soulful Union

    Their bodies were driven by a hunger only the other’s touch could satisfy.“You’re overdressed.” His hoarse whisper vibrated along her spine.Iris kneeled before him, unbuttoning the top and letting it slide off her arms.Maddox purred with pleasure, his eyes drinking her in. “Bra.”Iris blushed and fumbled with it, shyness gripping her hard. Their first time had been two years ago. So much had changed during that time span: her body, her mindset, and her appearance. She wasn’t the same delicate girl anymore. After her pregnancy, she had grown curvier with stretch marks on her body. Would Maddox still find her beautiful? The bra came off, and he gasped at the sight of her breasts. They had grown so much that he couldn’t control himself.“Hell, Iris! You’ve grown so pretty.”His appreciation took her breath away, erasing all the self-doubt she had been experiencing.“I’m fat, Maddox.”He shook his head, caressing her skin with his heated gaze. “Not at all. You’re curvy and hot as hel

  • A Reckless Dream   Chapter Seventy-One – Sweet Surrender

    Iris’s gaze immediately flew towards the door. Her heart pounded wildly as she rose to greet him. She was acutely aware of his heated stare burning through her skin.“Dad!” squealed Esme, jumping up to hug him. Even the pups were excited. They surrounded him as if he had returned home after a decade.“Hey, sweetie pie! How have you been? Did you miss me?” Maddox hugged them, but his gaze was on Iris, who stood shyly a foot away from him. Her eyes shone with love and the promise of a better tomorrow. This time, there was no doubt in his mind. He knew she loved her – truly, madly, and eternally.“Yes, Dad! Please don’t go away for so many days.” Esme pouted.Maddox tore his gaze away from Iris and smiled at Esme. “I promise I won’t.”Then he looked at Iris again and held an arm out to her, urging her to hug him. “Come here,” he whispered when Esme and the pups released him.Shyness gripped her hard, and she glanced at Esme. She didn’t want any intimacy in front of her baby girl. Yet she

  • A Reckless Dream   Chapter Seventy – A Heart-Touching Confession

    Iris set her luggage in the room next to Maddox’s. Maybe she would share with Esme for now. This was a new place, and Esme might feel apprehensive on her own. Having managed her single-handedly since birth, her motherly instincts took over.“What are you doing here?” Maddox strode in with Esme’s luggage.“I’m sharing this room with Esme until she settles down in this new setup.” She gave him a hesitant look.He gaped at her for a minute. His heart sank with disappointment. Did she care only about Esme? Didn’t he feature in her thoughts at all?After two years, she hadn’t even kissed him after he had clarified with her. Didn’t he deserve a kiss even? Didn’t she realize what he had gone through only for her?He hadn’t given up because he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. He survived the trauma because he loved her.But Iris had changed a lot in these last two years. She wasn’t the shy, innocent girl he had met but a mature, strong mother who had survived a storm single-hand

  • A Reckless Dream   Chapter Sixty-Nine – Returning Home At Last

    Iris dumped the last of her belongings into a suitcase and zipped it up. She sighed for the umpteenth time as she watched Maddox pace the porch and talk to Declan over the phone. While she was bursting with curiosity after his last admission, he seemed totally unaware of her condition. Ever since he had dropped the bombshell, he had been busy on his phone.His last words kept echoing in her head.I was lying in a coma at O’Connor General Hospital for the last two years.What did it mean? Why was he lying in a coma? What had happened to him? Before she could react, he received Declan’s call and walked away, leaving her hanging. From the few words she could overhear of their conversation, it was clear Maddox hadn’t returned home in the last two years.“Yes, ask Deborah to clean and sanitize the house. I’m bringing my family home.” He sounded so excited that it made Iris smile. She felt a little foolish for jumping to her own conclusions and escaping from the man who cared for her the mo

  • A Reckless Dream   Chapter Sixty-Eight – Clarifications

    “No, you have no rights over us. It’s none of your business what I do with my life, Maddox. You lost me the day you married Lucille. Why are you here anyway? Go live with your wife and children and leave me alone.” She shoved him away and held the door open for him to leave.Maddox frowned at her allegations, refusing to budge. He wouldn’t leave without clearing the air between them. He wouldn’t leave without them. “Lucille is serving a prison term. Who told you I married her?” He watched the confused look on her face.Soon she recovered and scoffed at his question. “Whatever! Lucille gave me ample proof. So, don’t even try denying it. I know you were planning to marry her.”Maddox groaned in agony. He didn’t want this fight in front of his baby daughter. “How did you believe a criminal so easily, Iris? I’m here to take you and Esme home with me. So pack up. Now!” He strode towards Esme’s room.Iris rushed after him in a state of panic. “Stop ordering me around, Maddox. I’m not your w
