Chapter 191 Needs clothes

Lorenzo is right. She needs clothes. Why is she being so obstinate about his generous offer? It’s because he’s done so much for her already. She trots beside him along the quay, trying to ignore the scandalized voice that rings in her head.He is not your husband. He is not your husband.She shakes her head.Enough!She’s not going to let anything make her feel guilty. He was good to her and she likes him!Also Lorenzo said that she is on holiday, and if it gives him pleasure...After the pleasure he’s given her, how can she refuse? She blushes recalling his...what did he call it?Early-morning wake-up call.Danica fights back her smile. He could wake her up like that any day. And he cooked her breakfast again.He is spoiling her.She hasn’t been spoiled in a very long time.Ever?She glances up at him as they walk into the center of Padstow, and her heart lurches. He looks down at her, his eyes live

Chapter 192 Not for you

Forty-five minutes later, Danica has a new wardrobe: three pairs of jeans, four long-sleeved tops in various colors, two skirts, two plain shirts, two cardigans, two dresses, two sweaters, a coat, socks, tights, and underwear.“That’s one thousand three hundred and fifty-five, please.” Sarah beams at Lorenzo.“What!” Danica squeaks.Lorenzo hands over his credit card, pulls Danica into his arms, and kisses her long and hard. She is breathless when he releases her, and she stares down at the floor, mortified. She cannot face Sarah.To Danica, holding hands in public is considered forward. Kissing. No. Never. Never in public.“Hey,” Lorenzo murmurs, putting his hand beneath her chin to pull her face up.“You spend too much,” she whispers.“Not for you. Please. Don’t be angry with me.”************LORENZO*Her gaze lingers on my face, but I have no idea what she&rs

Chapter 193 Like it

Love. Confusing. Irrational. Frustrating...Exhilarating. This is what it feels like. I am madly, crazily, ridiculously in love with the woman sitting opposite me.My cleaner, Danica.I’ve felt like this since I first laid eyes on her standing in my hallway clutching a broom. I remember how disconcerted I was....How angry. How the walls closed in on me and I had to escape because I didn’t understand the depth of my feelings. This is what I was running from. I thought I was just wildly attracted to her. But no. It’s not just her body I crave. It’s never been just that. I’m drawn to her in a way I’ve never been to any other woman. I love her. That’s why I went after her when she fled that day. That’s why I brought her here. I want to protect her. I want her happy. I want her with me.Fuck.It’s a revelation.And she has no idea who I am or what I do. And I know so little about her. In fact, I have no idea ho

Chapter 194 More cheerful

“Yes. It was a good school. I made good friends there. You met them.”“Oh, yes.” Danica blushes as she remembers the two men in their underwear.They settle into an easier conversation, and by the time they arrive home, she’s more cheerful.*************LORENZO*We carry the bags into the house, and while Danica unpacks the groceries, I take her clothes upstairs. I put them in the spare bedroom, then change my mind and place the bags in the walk-in wardrobe in my room. I want her in here with me.It’s presumptuous.Fuck.I’m tangling myself in knots. I don’t know how to behave with her.Sitting down on the bed, I put my head in my hands. Did I have a game plan before we got here?No.I was thinking with my dick. And now...well, I hope I’m thinking with my head and following my heart. During the drive home, I contemplated what to do. Should I tell her that I love her? Should

Chapter 195 Breaking the spell

*LORENZO*I look away, breaking the spell of Danica’s stare. I’m troubled by where my thoughts are heading and take a sip of wine. My reaction is all too new and too presumptuous.“How is John? And Logan?” she asks, hungry for news, and she’s soon lost in a lively conversation about packing and Canada, and weddings.Danica laughs again, and her voice changes, becoming softer...sweeter. She’s talking to John, and I know from her tone that she’s exceptionally fond of him. I shouldn’t be jealous, he’s a kid, but maybe I am?I’m not sure I appreciate this new and unwelcome feeling.“Be good, John...I miss you...Bye.”She glances at me once more. “Okay. I will....Good-bye, Magda.” She hangs up and wanders back to me to hand me my phone.She looks happy. I’m glad she made the call.“All good?” I ask.“Yes. Thank you.”“An

Chapter 196 With me

*LORENZO*Standing, I pull her into my arms, and she comes willingly, putting her hands on my chest. I fold her against my body and hold her. And I don’t know if I’m comforting her or myself. The thought of her having no one, the thought of her being alone in the world is horrifying. I bury my face in her fragrant hair, grateful that she’s here. With me.“I’m sorry that you’ve gone through so much shit,” I murmur.Looking up at me, she brushes her index finger over my lips. “That is a bad word.”“It is. It’s a bad word for a bad situation. But you’re not alone anymore. I’ve got you.” Leaning down, I brush my lips against hers and it’s like a spark to dry kindling, my body comes alive. It takes my breath away. She closes her eyes and tilts her head back, offering her mouth to me.I cannot resist. In the background, RY X is still singing in his husky, melancholy falsetto

Chapter 197 Without sugar

Danica laid in the afterglow of their lovemaking.Lorenzo had his head on her stomach, his arms around her, as she ran her fingers idly through his hair. She loved the feel of his hair beneath her fingers.She never thought that the sexual act could be so pleasurable.The books she had read really didn’t dive into the sexual act of a man and a woman. Those kind of books were surely not allowed at the orphanage.So experiencing all these with Lorenzo was all so new and so all-consuming.Lorenzo never hesitates to hold her hand or kiss her in public. And he talked to her. When had she ever sat for an evening and had a proper conversation with a man?She had been scared of men ever since that incident with Julio.But how, she was certain Lorenzo was different.She glanced at the little light-up dragon on the nightstand, a beacon in the darkness. He bought this for her because he knew she was scared of the dark. He brought her here to protec

Chapter 198 Still in bed

*LORENZO*“Yes.”“I’m amazed you have any teeth left.”She grins, showing me she has perfect teeth. “I have never tried coffee without sugar. I will make you some more.” She hops out of bed, all long naked legs and flowing raven hair.“It’s okay. Don’t go.”“I want to.” And she disappears once more, taking my phone with her. A few moments later, I hear Dua Lipa singing “One Kiss” over the sound system downstairs.Danica doesn’t just like classical music. I smile.**************Danica dances around the kitchen, preparing another coffee for Lorenzo.She cannot remember a time when she felt this content. She came close at times when she was dancing and singing with her mother in the kitchen in the orphanage. But here there is more room to dance, and with the lights on she can see her image reflected in the glass wall that leads to the balcony. Sh

Chapter 199 Especially for you

Danica lies on her front, breathless, spiraling down from her climax, as he lies on top of her. His weight is...agreeable. She never knew her body had such capacity for pleasure. She’s sweaty and languid and satisfied, wrung out from her incredible orgasm.But as she recovers her composure, truth be told, she feels a little guilty at this indolence. She has never spent the whole morning in bed.He nuzzles her ear.“You’re incredible,” he whispers as he moves to her side and gathers her in his arms.She closes her eyes. “No, you are,” she says. “I never knew...I mean...” She stops and looks up at him.“That it could be so intense?”“Yes.”His brow crinkles. “Yes. I know what you mean.” He gazes through the window at the gray, rain-soaked vista. “Do you want to go out?”She snuggles closer, filling her senses with him. The smell of his skin. His warmt

Chapter 200 Keep her warm

*LORENZO*Danica winces as she sits up on me.“What is it?” I ask, and I sit up in one swift move so we’re nose to nose. The throw falls to her waist, and I pull it up to keep her warm.She blushes. “I am a little sore.”Fuck! “Why didn’t you tell me?”“Because you probably wouldn’t have done that...” she says, averting her eyes and her voice low.“Damned right!” I close my eyes and place my forehead on hers. “I’m sorry,” I whisper.I’m an idiot.She places her fingers on my lips. “No. No. Don’t be sorry.”“We don’t have to do this.”What am I saying?“I want to do this. I mean it. I really like it,” she insists.“Danica, you have to talk to me. Tell me. Frankly, I could do this all day with you. But enough. We’re going out. First, though, let’s have a shower
