Giovanna. He ran his hands down the exposed olive skin of her back, a trail of heat and tingles dancing across her skin under his touch. It felt like she was being touched for the first time as his full, delicious lips found hers. He pressed her closer to his hard toned body as he discreetly shuffled them through a doorway into a private room. She heard the click of the lock but did not break away from this handsome strangers sizzling caresses on her suddenly starved skin, she craved his touch. When she had entered the masquerade ball with her elder brother and cousin, this was the last thing she had anticipated. The werewolf king was throwing a lavish ball for his twins, who were turning eighteen, and she had managed to persuade her father to allow her to attend under the strict watch of her brother. She wore a teal green silk gown that hugged her curves and a lace silk masquerade mask that her cousin and mother had helped her pick out. Giovanna knew she looked good, her raven black

GiovannaI opened my eyes slowly when i felt my mattress dip and smiled at the most wonderful sight ever. The face of my baby boy who was taking my face in his tiny soft hands. "Morning Mama." he whispered as I glanced at the clock, the blury numbers glowed in this still dull room. Morning my ass I thought as i moved over and lifted the duvet for my son to climb under with me. "It's too early baby." I groaned. "I'm hungry Mama. A delicious smell woke me." he added. " What smell?" I asked biting at his ludicrous statement. "I don't know but it woke me." he replied. "What did it smell like?" I giggled feeding into his vivid fantasy. "was it pancakes?" I asked guessing his favourite breakfast item. "No Mama." he replied furrowing his little brows in concentration. "It wasn't food I don't think." he muttered. "Then what?" I gave up now the ealry hour lulling me to end this and go back to sleep. "It felt like I had smelt it before'" he whispered. "like it was safe Mama." He added.

Giovanna. He had hung around my office door but I kept myself busy as if there was nothing going on out of the ordinary. I kept myself out of his way until I saw my moment when my father's accountant Larry entered and knocked on my father's office door. Once Larry slipped inside I opened my own office door and beckoned to the tall handsome stranger who I had almost collided with earlier to come in. Larry was the dodgy money mafia accountant so I knew we had plenty of time to speak whilst my fathers attentions were firmly elsewhere. There was clearly a lot to discuss, I knew instantly who he was when I had stared into those eyes. The eyes looming back at me were my sons. The flicker of shock and recognition I saw in his eyes told me he knew who I was. He was the man I met at the masquerade ball, the man I imagined in my lowest moments as being the one to rescue me from all this. My prince charming in the horror story of my life. But it wasn't about me now. Every dream I had prior

Giovanna I watched him quietly stare at the picture of our child. I kept quiet allowing him the time he needed to process the information. As shocking as finding out I was pregnant and all that ensued after the news I imagined receiving a picture of the final product that now walked and talked and had an opinion was even more shocking. The news "Suprise you have a three and a half year old son was not exactly an everyday event." I was aware though the longer he stayed here in the office the more likely my father would find out. I wanted to call him gently from his thoughts when I realised I didn't even know his name. I had slept with this man, had a kid with him, found out I was his mate or soul mates or whatever you wanted to call it and I still had no idea what to call him. The idea of that was suddenly ludicrous to me and this was a ridiculous situation everything in my life was ridiculous. The giggles escaped before I could stop them. They bubbled up from my nervous centr

Giovanna I had to pull myself together, in the small bathroom attached to my office I washed my face and calmly reapplied my make up. My heart was still thumping in my chest as I took in shaky breaths. I checked my hair and just as I returned to my desk my phone rang. I jumped at the shrill sound, that wasn't new I hated that phone no one rang me on it except the office manager and my father. "Hello." I answered "My office now Giovanna." my fathers ordered echoed down the line and I heard the click as he hung it up. I put the phone down and picked up my notebook and pen and walked to his office. I could feel James's gaze on me but if I returned it I knew I would break again. Since our latest encounter I just wanted to be near him, with him and around him. Pushing that madness away I knocked on my father's door and as he yelled "enter" I cleared my mind I needed my witts about me to deal with my father. I was surprised to see my sister's brother in law in the office with him. H
