Anna woke the next morning and stretched. The muscles in her arms and legs were sore and her body felt the lovemaking from last night. She smiled trying to push away her worries about their future. She chose to believe john when he said he would try hard to keep his emotions in check and trust her. She worried that his emotional nature would come between them if he didn't learn to control it. "Good morning Princess," John said softly, his voice sexy and gravely in the early morning light. "First day at the office.""Good morning." She replied softly as she snuggled against where he was spooned against her. John growled and rolled her over so he could kiss her. His lips caressed hers and his hands wandered to her breasts that lay bare under the sheets. Anna moaned and pulled him down on top of her so that their naked bodies were against each other. Even now she wondered at the perfect way they fit."Wow, good morning to me." John said against the shell of her ear "what an awesome way

John took Anna's hand and pulled her into his arms. "I should have done better. I'm sorry."'You tried," Anna said quietly wrapping her arms around him. "We just need to get them both to back off.""Our lives would certainly be better." John agreed. "It just seems like one thing after another in fact I'm surprised that my mother didn't try to convince you to not come to work here." "Why is that?" Anna said curiously."Well, when we got married she said that she thought women should be at home and not working.""How very 1950's of her." Anna said as she smiled at John, "but that sounds like something she'd say." "Yeah I guess so, she always stayed home with us and was fine with it. So I'm not surprised that she wanted you to do the same." "Well thank God I married a modern man and not some caveman.""Actually when we first got married and she suggested it I thought she was right." John said as he sat down on the couch and patted the couch next to him."Why would you think that?" Anna

Isabel slammed her door as hard as she could and sat staring into space. She was so tired of Anna and John's devotion to her. How on earth did someone like her end up with someone like John? She knew she had to do something to make him doubt her. The pictures of Anthony kissing her had been a good start but she knew if would have to be something even more spectacular if this was going to work. Isabel picked up her phone and dialed. "I need to meet now." "Why?" The voice on the other end asked in a tone that grated on her nerves "I did what you asked and gave you the pictures, what happens after that is not my problem.""I'm making it your problem," Isabel screeched at the top of her lungs "I paid you to find something incriminating on her and it didn't work." "Again, not my problem." The voice said in a tone that suggested he was sitting there casually reading a magazine. "It's not my fault that your boy loves his wife." "He does not love his wife, He just thinks he has to.""Loo

The next morning John followed Anna into her office and sat down at the desk. She tapped her pencil against the desktop and stared him down. "I really think this is a bad idea.""Why?" John asked with a raise of one dark eyebrow. "Why shouldn't we use our resources?" "Because I don't know Bess that well and you are the boss sitting here being all intimidating." "Intimidating huh? John said leaning forward on the desk leaning on his bunched up arms. The suit jacket he wore stretched tight over his muscular shoulders and suddenly her mouth went dry. Even though they'd just made love that morning her body responded ferociously, leaving her needy and wanting. "Um yeah…" She stumbled as he stood and came around to her side of the desk. " You are totally intimidating."He knelt down at her feet and put his arms on the sides of her chair boxing her in. "Am I intimidating you now?" "No, "she said breathlessly as he leaned in taking her hand. He began kissing his way up her arm. Pausing t

Isabel watched the sun going down that night and suddenly hated everything. She hated when things didn't go her way. She screamed and threw the phone. It cracked and for a moment it was almost satisfying enough and then she remembered how expensive the screen was to fix. This just ticked her off even more. "Da*& it!" Isabel pulled a picture of John from her desk drawer and traced his face. She unfolds the bent side of the picture which contains Anna. She glared at her cousin, wishing there was a way to get rid of her permanently. She'd tried to get her to leave but Anna wasn't budging. Isabel growled and ripped the picture in half leaving only John behind. She tossed the picture of Anna in the trash. She hated to think of all the time she'd spent living with the idea of Anna and John together. She'd never understood it. "She wasn't half as pretty as me," Isabel thought "yet he always seemed like he was under a spell when she was around." Isabel had been in love with John since mid
