*Grace*

Caught off guard, my mind raced to comprehend why David's mother would be lingering in my building's entrance, claiming we needed to talk. I didn't even try to guess how she got my address. I assumed something like this was a piece of cake for someone like Margaret Anderson.

Her imposing figure and her piercing blue eyes were fixed on me, making my blood run cold as I took a few more steps towards my building. Dressed immaculately in a tailored black suit, Margaret exuded an air of authority that was impossible to ignore.

The cold air stung my cheeks and my heart beat erratically with anticipation and fear. The world seemed to pause around me, a silence enveloping the space between us. The distant hum of the city outside only served to heighten the tension that crackled in the air, and I had to clear my throat to utter a coherent sentence without looking like a scared kitten.

"Mrs. Anderson... I-I didn't expect to see you here," I stammered anyway, failing to hide my inse

  • Secret Desires: Daddy's Temptation   Chapter 55 : Anderson and Reynolds

    *Grace*-Nine months later- David, Daniel, and I gathered in Sarah's hospital room to celebrate the joyous arrival of the precious little life into the family. Balloons adorned the room, their colors dancing in harmony with the soft lullaby playing in the background through Sarah's speaker. The room buzzed with anticipation as we all anxiously waited for the baby to be brought back to the bedroom."Why is it taking so long for them to bring her?" David asked impatiently, pacing back and forth in the room.Daniel chuckled, patting him on the shoulder. "She will be here soon. They just had to take her to run some routine exams.”David groaned in response, and Sarah and I suppressed a laugh to avoid annoying him further.David and I came running as soon as Daniel called to let us know Sarah was about to give birth. David left everything at his company and drove as fast as I was certain was legally allowed to pick me up at the museum and bring us here.It took a while for the h

  • Secret Desires: Daddy's Temptation   Chapter 54 : Joyful Announcement

    *Grace*Moving in with David proved to be even better than I had dreamed of. As he promised me, he hired someone to take everything from my apartment and bring it back to his penthouse, but that wasn't really necessary. At the end of the day, I only kept my clothes and some small objects I had emotional attachment to. The furniture and everything else inside the apartment wasn't mine anyway, so I didn't have much to carry on with me.David had insisted that we went shopping so I could give the apartment a bit of my own touch, but truth be told, I already loved everything about it and didn't feel like changing anything, risking ruining its professional and chic decor. The only thing I did buy was a huge Christmas tree I had always wanted to have, and a collection of antique maps that I stumbled upon in a quaint little shop a while ago, but had no room to put them in my old apartment.Of course, David insisted that we grab a whole box of tree decoration ornaments so we could ass

  • Secret Desires: Daddy's Temptation   Chapter 53 : An Unexpected Evening

    *Grace*The faint hum of the gallery's air conditioning was a soothing background noise as I studied the latest collection of paintings that had been brought in for display. The vibrant colors and intricate brushstrokes captivated me, reminding me of why I chose this career in the first place. It had been a few weeks since David and I had returned from Switzerland, and I had to confess that this one trip made me go back to work with a different enthusiasm. It was like taking that time to ourselves after everything that happened was all I needed to feel a renewed will to live my life to the fullest.I was so engrossed in my work that when my phone rang, I nearly jumped out of my skin."Grace Harrison speaking," I answered without looking at the ID Caller."So formal, huh?" David greeted, his velvety voice on the other end making my heart race instantly. "I came to pick you up. I'm outside the museum right now. I've got a surprise planned for this evening.""Really?" I replied,

  • Secret Desires: Daddy's Temptation   Chapter 52 : Ravishing Retreat

    *Grace*After a thrilling second day on the Swiss Alps, where David and I had spent hours skiing down the powdery slopes, and visiting a thermal spa afterwards, we finally returned to our cabin. The sky was a dark, velvety canvas punctuated by shimmering stars as we entered our cozy home for the night. My body hummed with exhaustion, but my heart overflowed with happiness.The embers in the fireplace cast an intimate glow over the room, their warmth inviting us to relax. David and I chatted casually about our adventures on the slopes, the adrenaline still coursing through our veins, as we prepared to go to bed.We had showered at the spa, so I was glad I didn't have to get into the shower now."Your skiing skills have certainly improved since yesterday," David teased me, his features sparkling with mischief. I couldn't help but laugh at the memory of my countless falls on the previous day. Today had been a bit better, but not enough so I could consider his words as the truth.

  • Secret Desires: Daddy's Temptation   Chapter 51 : A Swiss Alpine Romance

    *Grace*When David surprised me by saying he wanted to take me on another trip, I immediately accepted, although he didn't want to tell me where we were going.What I would never have dreamed of was that it would be the majestic Swiss Alps.As David and I arrived, we were greeted by the breathtaking sight of snow-covered peaks–a heart-skipping, jaw-dropping kind of scenery. My excitement was through the roof as I took in the grandeur of our surroundings through the window of our rented car, and I couldn't help but get all giddy with anticipation and pure joy.This trip turned out to be a surprise-packed adventure, and I was already loving every second of it."David, it's absolutely stunning here," I breathed out as we reached the resort we'd be staying at, my voice filled with awe."Isn't it? I knew you would love it," he replied, his sharp blue eyes reflecting the mesmerizing landscape. I couldn't help but feel grateful for this unexpected escape from reality, a chance to expl

  • Secret Desires: Daddy's Temptation   Chapter 50 : Love and Vulnerabilities

    *Grace*David’s tongue danced with mine, making me moan against his mouth as he pinned me to the wall of my living room. "I missed you so much," I repeated against his mouth, my fingers instinctively threading through his hair."Me too. I couldn't sleep without you all these days," he replied hungrily, his arms pulling me closer, his gaze so intense that made my knees weak. His mouth found the curve of my neck and he began to place soft kisses against my skin, making me unconsciously tilt my head, granting him better access.David slid his hands up the sides of my body, softly grazing over my curves as his lips continued their path down my neck. When his fingers slipped under my shirt, finding me completely comfortable and loose without a bra, I flinched under his touch, preparing myself for his next move. He groaned against my skin, his tongue continuing to caress my neck as he took each breast in his hands, kneading them gently and brushing his thumbs across their sensitive
