After breakfast, Marcus dropped her at her house to collect the necessary documents she needed for admission formalities at Suffolk Community College. While Marcus and Ben Duncan went to the market to buy stationery for his upcoming art project, Cara was glad to be able to spend a few hours with her family.
“That’s wonderful news, Cara. I’m so happy for you,” said Aunt Maggie.
“Yes, it is. I’ll have a bank account soon. So I can transfer money into your account now on a regular basis, Uncle Joe.” Cara couldn’t tell them her scope of work and thankfully they didn’t question her further. The children were overwhelmed to see her.
“Thanks, Cara. That would be a great help,” said Uncle Joe.

Cara woke up early and quickly started wrapping up her work before 7 o’clock. Marcus was still fast asleep and she rolled her eyes at him. So much for doing the housework together! She had two hours to complete everything. The cleaning was already done the day before, so she quickly made breakfast and completed the preparations needed for lunch. That didn’t take long and she stepped into Marcus’s bedroom to take a quick shower before doing the laundry.By 6:15, she was ready and sipping her coffee when Marcus walked into the dining room, freshly showered and ready. Wearing a pair of figure-hugging jeans and a black tee-shirt, he looked less like a painter and more like some se* God. Cara blinked the thoughts away and turned on a dazzling smile at him, taking him aback.“Good morning! You’re late Mr. Painter.” Marcus gri
“So beautiful!” Cara distinctly heard the soft murmur that escaped his lips as he cupped her brea*ts, making her face heat up and sending shivers down her spine. With one hand holding her neck and the other kneading her brea*t, he leaned forward and crashed his lips to hers. Different than the previous one, this kiss was much more passionate and intimate as Marcus didn’t hold back anymore. When he softly bit her lower lip, a small gasp escaped her, allowing him to use the chance to shove his tongue into her sweet mouth.With their tongues dancing against one another, the e*otic and fervid kiss felt so incredible that a moan escaped Cara’s mouth and she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back. It encouraged him to pull her closer, crushing her against his own hard chest. Soon the kiss turned fierce while she stroked his neck with her soft fingers, encouraging him t
This time the kiss was wilder and fiercer than the last one yet there was an unmistakable sensual note that took her breath away. His hand groped her rounded hip, drawing her into him till there was no space left in between. A moan escaped Cara as this was exactly what she wanted. The intensity of the kiss rendered her powerless and she wrapped her arms around his neck eliciting a contented moan from his lips. Marcus’s mouth played with her lower lip, biting and parting it expertly till she opened her mouth and surrendered to his needs. His tongue delved deeper and deeper and he devoured every recess inside her mouth like there was no tomorrow. The hungry, animal-like, and sensual kiss evoked a blind need deep within her which in turn started the familiar throbbing in her sensitive core. With her hands in his hair, tugging and pulling, she matched his passion with hers and kissed him back, surprising him and making him drown in her sweetness.&nb
Cara shyly pulled his head down to hers and planted a sweet kiss on his lips that made Marcus burn for more. He cupped her face and claimed her lips in a slow, lingering kiss that explored and savored her sweetness. Bolder and more confident than before, Cara kissed him back with equal fervor. Soon the languid kiss transformed into a battle of their mouths and Marcus groaned and slipped his hand beneath her top, caressing her firm and smooth skin. Cara trembled with a need so acute that she was surprised at her body’s reaction to him.Within seconds, he stripped off the top in a desperate and almost car*al movement, making a gush of molten heat release from her already wet folds. His fingers got rid of her bra and stroked her brea*ts softly, while she arched her back to give him more access. His mouth released hers and trailed to her ear, tracing her earlobe as he murmured what exactly he wante
“So, how’s everything going? All good?” asked Marcus as he perched himself on the ottoman beside her. Cara looked up from the mobile phone and nodded shyly, quickly deleting the browser window in case he wanted to check.“Yeah, I was saving the numbers I could remember.” Marcus nodded disinterestedly“Dinner’s ready.” He stared enraptured by her radiant face and her flushed cheeks wondering what was going on in her mind. Was she eager to get back to bed the way he was? “But I’m eager to eat you instead.” Cara gasped and blushed even more at his admission.“You shouldn’t think of that all the time or else the paintings would take years to finish,” Cara pointed out, the heat rising slowly up her body. Marcus chuckled, total
Marcus pulled her soft, curvaceous body into his arms, gazing deeply into her eyes. They held emotions that he had been running away from the last two years. Emotions of love that could last a lifetime! They weren’t the same emotions he had seen in Cassie’s eyes when they were together. Cassie’s feelings felt superficial compared to Cara’s pure and ardent feelings for him.“Why do you try when you can’t sleep without me, mia Cara?” He whispered, his mouth grazing her neck, trailing up to her ear.“Why do you call me that?” she answered with a question of her own.“Because you’re special.” Cara searched his eyes but didn’t find what she was seeking. There was only desire reflected in his dark stormy eyes.
“Because you’re special, mia Cara,” was all he whispered. A dazzling smile lit up her innocent sweet face as she followed him inside the sprawling house. Everything about the island was absolutely gorgeous, the brightly hued sky, the tide rising and ebbing away, the birds flying homeward, the tranquil air all around, the sound of the water lapping on the shores, everything made it look like a private Zen retreat. It boosted Cara’s mood considerably as she followed Marcus around to inspect the place. Marcus selected the huge glass-enclosed gallery room as his studio and started setting it up. The view was excellent and he immediately was in the mood to start off his second painting of the series,“This place is so enchanting!” she gasped, staring all around the place with an enraptured look on her face. Marcus gazed at her, his whole body immediately simmering with
Cara’s mood was spoiled last night and she avoided Marcus, going straight to sleep while he was in his studio. However, since the moment she woke up, the breathtaking views from the master bedroom uplifted her mood immensely. Freshening up, she walked out in search of Marcus who sat sipping coffee on the open deck outside.“Good morning, baby. Did you sleep well?” he asked, patting the chair next to him. Cara sat down with her coffee and gazed into his beautiful eyes.“Good morning, Marcus. Yes, I slept so well that I didn’t know when you joined me.” Marcus smiled and shook his head.“I didn’t.” Cara gaped at him, looking confused.“What? Didn’t you sleep last night?” she asked, fee
