“I like the way they did the incubators and the shades … and it’s quite vast too, we can hatch a lot of batches in one go,” she commented on the preservation site at dinner.“Good … I’m glad you like it … I’ll take a look at it in the morning. Peter had been updating me with the hotel’s revenue since we arrived, I haven’t got around the beach yet.”He was eating his dinner and they were speaking casually, he seemed relaxed and not in any way intimidating. She was so distracted by his light brown eyes as the dim light of the hotel reflected elegantly upon his beautiful face.“This is a very nice hotel, I noticed the details in the interior are similar to your office and your home,” she kept them talking to hide her nervousness around him.“I use the same contractor and designers as much as I can, they know my taste … how do you like your room?”“It’s fabulous … I love it, I can see myself staying here for a year,” she chuckled, it was pretty extravagant even for her taste.Gabriel smil

The morning sickness was occurring more frequently. She had lost her appetite almost completely. She couldn’t eat much of the food variation in the breakfast buffet. She went to the hotel pharmacy to buy some spearmint to keep her nausea down.She was in her short pants and tank top ready for a whole day at the beach. Soon she won’t fit into any of the clothes that she brought to the island. She couldn’t occupy her mind with that yet because the more pressing issue was to find a good OBGYN and figured out how she was going to let Gabriel know that she was pregnant. She couldn’t even let herself think how he would respond to it.“Focus,” she said to herself chewing on her bubble gum, she took a bottle of water and started the day. Gabriel was nowhere to be seen, the crew said he was there very early in the morning to check out the facility and then he left. She didn’t see him the whole day that day and it gave her a weird feeling like something was missing. She didn’t realize she was a

“I remember how much I like the way you tasted,” his words echoed in her mind. He never said anything remotely as sexy since then. But he had been standing too close to her on that boat, she felt his warmth next to her. His enchanting smell. When he spoke, his deep soothing voice in her ear made her want things she was not supposed to want.She found herself laying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, dreaming of his soft warm lips on her. She touched her lips. Her skin felt warm from the mild sunburn from being under the sun every day. Or maybe she was flustering because of the damn pregnancy hormones that slowly drove her crazy.She applied the cool aloe vera gel all over her legs and thighs. She hiked up her sheer nightgown to reach her inner thighs. “The mole deep in your inner thigh that made you excited when I tasted you,” his voice played out in her head.She grunted, she wanted him to kiss her, kiss her right there. She reached under her panty and closed her eyes, she pictured

He looked like he had been deprived of sleep, like when he had been in his office for days when business was bad.“I need to talk to you in private,” his tone was demanding.“Is this not private enough for you?” she pointed around her.He took a deep breath, “No. It’s urgent that we speak in a private room.”“If you’re going to lash out at me about something, I’d rather not.”Eddie pinched the bridge of his nose, “Jamie, please … I don’t have time for your juvenile delinquency.”She threw her napkin on the table with a frustrated exhale, “Fine … we can talk in my room.” She stood up and walked out of the restaurant, and Eddie followed.“Ms. Knox, is there anything we can help you with?” Peter greeted her at the front of the restaurant, the staff had called him out of his office.She smiled, “No, I’m going to my room with my guest now, Peter, everything’s fine.”Peter glanced at Eddie, “And who may I ask your guest is? Mr. Love specifically instructed there’s no guest allowed in the Pr

Gabriel was reading his book on his flight back to Lancaster when his emergency phone beeped. He always has his emergency phone on standby when he is flying, and whenever it beeped, it’s always for a good reason. He opened it immediately, it was Peter. He asked the flight attendant to call Peter from the airplane phone.“What is it, Peter?”“I’m sorry to bother you, Sir, but I thought you should know … there’s a man here to see Ms. Knox and they went up to her suite … he said he was her … husband.”Gabriel fell silent, his heart raced, “If they’re not down in 20 minutes, send someone up to check on them.”“Very well, Sir.”“Thanks, Pete.”He was flying back to Lancaster for a meeting with Eduard Payne’s representation, a business deal he had with his company. Eddie couldn’t be there because he said he was dealing with his pending divorce. He clenched his jaw.He opened the laptop in front of him, hoping that Jamie’s camera was still uncovered. It was. The camera had no mic so he could

She dried her hair and put on her robe. There was a subtle knock on the door. Room service? Then she remembered she hadn’t ordered anything, although she should have. She hadn’t eaten anything since her interrupted lunch. She walked to the door and opened it.He stood by the door with both arms stretched against the frame. Those light brown eyes were looking straight at her. She breathed his scent, he smelled the way he did that morning.“Gabriel? I thought you were in Lancaster?”“I turned around,” he said.He walked into the room and she closed the door behind him.“Are you alright?” he asked.“Yeah … I’m fine,” she tidied up her wet hair.“I saw him force himself on you,” he told her.She stood silent, not knowing how to respond.“Are you alright?” he made sure.She nodded, “I’m alright.”He stepped forward and stood only an inch away from her, “Are you sure?” his eyes darkened. What he saw that day scared him.She felt his fear. Fear of her being harmed right in front of his eyes,

The last thing she remembered was feeling extremely exhausted, she was trying to catch her breath and her head felt light. Her vision started to blur and slowly everything turned black.It felt like a deep sleep with fragments of consciousness struggling to figure out that there was something wrong. It took some time to grasp her surroundings when she came to until she can fully understand what happened. She fainted and then she woke up in a hospital bed with an IV stuck in her arm.The nurse was checking up on her when she opened her eyes, “Oh … you’re awake … you’re in a hospital … try and relax, you’re alright, the doctor will be with you shortly,” her voice was calming and her cold touch was soothing her skin.All her muscles felt dormant like they were too tired to function. Her body was heavy on the bed, she could hardly move. The doctor came in soon after to let her know she was okay.“Just a bit dehydrated from being under the sun too long with an empty stomach,” he said.She

“And then he stormed out of the room, he said he was going to take care of it … God! What the fuck do you think he means by that?” she was immediately on the phone with Perry. Perry thought for a moment, “I really don’t know … although, I didn’t expect him to actually think of marrying you, it seemed like a stand-up thing to do that he wants to take responsibility for it.” “He wants to take control of it, don’t get any ideas just yet, the way he threatened me … he wants the baby at all cost, he’s more worried of what trouble he might get into if he has an illegitimate child, he’s worried that I would extort him because of it, the easiest way to handle the problem is to marry me … and God knows what would happen to me after that?” she was skeptical. Perry was silent again, “You get that vibe out of him, and yet you slept with him just last night?” “Well … no … he wasn’t like that before … I don’t know, he’s unpredictable … I can’t read him, you know? One day he seemed so nice and w
