Still not on talking terms with Luke, Allie decided to go and visit her parents today. It was a Tuesday morning and she wanted to go alone. After, taking a quick shower and dressing up, she met Luke in his study.

"I'm going out today. I'll go see my parents" she said

Without looking up from his laptop, he said coldly

"Take one of the cars"

She scoffed. What a weird way to care about someone.

"Never mind. I'll just take a taxi"

She said and was about to leave but Luke stopped her

"You and the baby shouldn't be stressed. I said take one of the cars" he commanded.

"You can't order me around, Luke. I'm not your secretary. I'm your fucking wife!" She yelled and stormed off without another word.

Rachel smiled as she heard Luke and Allie quarrelling. This was a perfect timing for her to implement her plan. It looked like God was on her side because everything was being made easy for her.

She went to one of the maids that usually served Luke coffee.

    "My heart belongs to you, Luke" Rachel murmured, huge blue eyes opening to dreamily survey him, pale fingers smoothing from his shoulder down over his chest in a considering caress that blanked his mind and locked his tongue, because the one thing Luke did know at that precise moment was that he wanted her hands all over him.Luke lowered his dark head, drawn by forces he didn’t even understand. She might want some ideal, perfect male but guess what? She was getting him and she could learn to deal, he thought, with the kind of raw aggression that powered him through the business world. He focused on that soft, pouty mouth and went back hungrily for more, smiling into the kiss as her spine arched and her whole body reached up to him, responding to his expertise, wanting him.Long brown fingers smoothed along her thigh and when she emerged from that kiss he was working his sensual path down over her squirming length and at some stage of the proceedings her knickers had gone and she felt

    After the horrific incident she witnessed at Luke's house, Allie went back home. Luckily for her, Shirley was around.She explained all that happened as she wept and Shirley comforted her."Are you sure it was him. It could have been someone else, you know" Shirley doubted"How--how could he do this to me?" Allie said between sobs"I'm so sorry""It's not your fault. It's mine for getting married to a philanderer" she wailed"You know what?" Allie suddenly said as she cleaned her face roughly. "There's no point crying. There's no need to feel hurt because it wasn't even a real marriage. It was a fucking contract relationship with no strings whatsoever" she inhaled"Luke is a waste of my tears""Yes?" Shirley breathed, gazing wistfully at Allie"I shouldn't cry because he is a waste of my tears, right?" She askedShirley didn't reply"Say something" Allie broke down in tears again. "how could he do this to me?""Even if it wasn't a real marriage, at least he could have shown me a lit

She'd soon forget it, she hoped so.She opened the door, detesting the fact that she hoped Luke would be at home. She got in and only the workers came to greet her."Is he home?" She asked"No, ma" they replied"What about his ex wife, is she home?""Miss Rachel left the house since yesterday" one replied.She rolled her eyes as she walked past them and headed to the room. Their absence wasn't her concern. She only wanted to pick her things and leave Luke's house and life for good.Somehow, she wished Rachel wo

    Luke bent his head and claimed a long, intense kiss. His tongue skated across hers and a piercing dart of such primitive longing slithered through her that it was a challenge to stay upright. A strong arm slid to her spine to support her slender frame and he lifted her off her feet with breathtaking ease to carry her back into the bedroom.Allie surfaced to find herself lying on the bed. After that burning kiss she felt a little as if she had been hit with a brick because her brain no longer felt as if it were functioning. Luke was poised several feet away, stripping off his robes and letting them fall on the rug, his proud dark head already bare. She breathed in slow and deep.It was time, she told her quailing nerves firmly. They were married. This was the deal she had made. Neither love nor liking came into the arrangement. Sex was on the menu, nothing else, and she had to learn to be practical about the fact.Naked but for his boxers, Luke was an intimidating sight, a literal powe

    "I just love your passion" Luke murmured, pushing her slender thighs back at almost the same time as he lowered his head and swiped his tongue across her clitoris.The sensation was so powerful that she almost shot off the bed in shock."Yes... yes!' she gasped when she had found her breath again.His strong hands clamped to her hips to hold her in place for his attentions."You taste so good" he countered hungrily, marvelling that an experienced woman could have such an inhibition while he ran long fingers soothingly down the outside of her slender thighs to relax her tense muscles. "Close your eyes...I promise only pleasure, baby"He teased her pussy with gentle fingertips and she jerked, insanely conscious of where she needed to be touched and cringingly aware of how wet she was. He eased a finger into her and then lowered his head to tease her with his sensual mouth. Almost unbearable sensation engulfed Allie in a never-ending cascade. She no longer controlled herself; he contro

    They slept in eachother's arms. Luke didn't want to ask her anything. He just felt contented and unusually happy that she came back to him.The next morning, Allie woke up and didn't find Luke beside her. Had he gone to work already? Then the door to their room swung open and Luke came in, holding a tray of food."Breakfast in bed" he beamed at her and her heart melted. She couldn't help but fall for him because he looked really nice and charming. She couldn't deny it no more. He'd stolen her heart."You should do this often" Allie teased, balancing on her elbows to stretch up and tilt her parted lips in invitation as though a piece of elastic were pulling her to him to rediscover that warm, sexy mouth of his for herself again.And that next kiss ravished and seduced and left her dizzy and breathless, wondering where he had been all her life, for no other man had ever made her feel that way. She was already finding out that Luke was not the guy she had believed him to be. He had muc

    Rachel was going berserk. She flung items in her room as she let out an enraged scream. Allie was back? What the fuck happened? She thought she'd separated Allie and Luke for good so what the hell?She was very furious. She immediately called Bennett.He picked on the first ring"I'm coming over" she grumbledRachel Harriet doesn't give up; she told herself. She was going to come up with another plan. She had to.********************"What made you come back?" Luke asked. He stayed on the bed with Allie. He decided not to go to work today. Just spend the day with his wife and baby.Allie raised her hand and stroked his face tenderly. "I realized that you were innocent" she murmured softly"I was drunk" he held her hand. "but that doesn't justify what I did. I'm sorry I hurt you. I didn't mean --" "Shhh..." She touched her finger to his lips. "it's okay. I'm here now"Yes, she was here with him.

    "Let’s go to bed," she whispered daringly.His mouth hardened. "Yes," agreed Bennett, in an odd kind of voice. "Why don’t we?"Without warning he shut the door with an echoing slam, then picked her up and carried her towards a vast double bed which was covered with a lavish embroidered red coverlet.A tight little knot of desire was unfurling low in her pelvis, filling her with yearning and impatience. Even her senses seemed to have gone into hyperactive mode: her fingers filtered through his springy black hair and rejoiced in the silken texture while the already familiar scent of his skin acted on her like an aphrodisiac."You are gorgeous," Bennett told her and it was a smile of such charismatic power that she felt as though her heart were bouncing like a rubber ball inside her chest.He found the bare skin below her T-shirt and closed his hand to a tiny, sweet pouting mound. For an instant she went stiff because she had forgotten that she had no bra on and there was no warning befo

    She ought to be showing more decorum, but his tongue moved the silk of her top against her nipple in delicate friction. The dampness of his mouth enclosed her in heat, sucking and inciting. She was lost, groaning with delight as he tortured her, licking and moving that damp fabric, squeezing the swell of her breast just enough to push more blood into the tip.She was going to climax from this alone, she thought, working her nails with agitation against his shirt, thinking she should stop this, but she was compelled to keep going because it felt so damned good.Her waistband released and his other hand slid in, confident and possessive, cupping soaked lace, saying something in Italian she didn’t have the wherewithal to interpret, but he sounded pleased. Like he was complimenting her. She absolutely flowered when he sounded so appreciative and admiring.He held his palm steady for her to grind herself into the heel of his hand.

    With a little sob, she finally capitulated, softening and letting him take control.Her reward was a wash of delirious pleasure. Suddenly she felt what this kiss was doing to her. Her blood was hot, her erogenous zones sensitized and singing. His body seemed to envelop hers in sexual need. She was so steeped in desire, her knees folded.She would have gone anywhere with him in that moment. Would have let him do anything. She wanted him to cover her and push inside her and take her to a place where nothing could touch her.His assertiveness eased. His hand moved soothingly over her back. His damp lips tenderly caressed hers until they broke apart to gasp for air. He tucked her head under his jaw and held her ear against his pounding heart.She rested there, trying to catch her breath, listening to his heart slam, feeling like she’d been running and now the ache of exertion was catching up to her.He was hard, she realized, and she panged again with longing for this to be real, for the

    She hadn’t known any kiss could feel like this. like a drug. like a craving. she swept her hands up and down his sides and around to his back, tracing the indent of his spine and urging him to crush her because his weight felt so good against her.“this is all I think about,” he growled against her cheek, thumbs circling and circling her distended nipples, sending runnels of heat and need deep into her loins.His knee barely suggested inserting itself between hers and she flowered open, accepting his hard thigh against her mound with a shaken gasp of gratitude.While the edge of his teeth stole down her neck and he sucked on her earlobe and swept his tickling caress across her breasts, all her focus drilled down to the bright, hot place where his hard thigh pinned itself to her pulsing flesh.She was moving against him, she realized. seeking those sharp, piercing bolts of pleasure. she was as shameless as she was mindless. her hands were clenched in his hair and she was arching and sh

    Bennett painted kisses across her shoulders and she inhaled his fresh sun, sea, and hot-man scent, the heat from his body engulfing her. Her nipples puckered against the triangles of her top and she swallowed, noticing there was no moisture left in her mouth. He was plastered against her, and being in his bedroom—a beautifully decorated space dominated by this huge bed—felt incredibly intimate. She felt as if she belonged there, that being in his arms was where she needed to be.No, she was doing it again, reading more into a situation than there was. This was just sex and if she was going to become mushy, then she should roll away and put some distance between them until she regained a modicum of control.His hand settled over her breast and she knew she was fooling herself, she had no intention of applying the brakes to stop this runaway train. Her tongue twisted around his, and she arched her back to press her nipple into his palm. She was putty in his hands...Rachel murmured her

    ‘I can make you feel good, Rachel, better than before,’ he said. ‘Let me take you to bed, where I’ll make you forget all the chaos of the last few days and remind you of what it is to feel sexy. Feminine, powerful. Wanted beyond all meaning.’He saw the capitulation in her eyes, the need to be in his arms. He lifted one eyebrow. ‘Yes?’ he prompted.‘Yes.’Thank God and all his angels and arch angels.Picking up her hands, Bennett tugged her to him so that her lips were an inch from his. ‘Too much talking,’ he murmured. ‘Definitely not enough kissing.’‘I agree,’ she replied, her sweet breath fluttering against his lips.‘Slide your thigh over mine,’ he told her.‘Why?’ she asked but did as he requested.‘So that you’ll be more comfortable when I do this...’ he said before slanting his mouth over hers, tracing the seam of her lips with his tongue.She tasted like the woman he’d met before, as an awesome memory should. But this kiss was tinged with something different, it was deeper and

    He lifted her, dress riding up at the same time, and sat her on the cold marble of the table by the door.Before she could decide what she thought of that, he pushed her legs apart and stepped between them so they were eye to eye, mouth to mouth...Kissing again. Deeply. Unreservedly.The fine lace of her new Parisian panties snapped.She gasped and closed her teeth on his bottom lip, waiting... There. He touched her, stroking lightly, just a tantalizing caress that made her flesh pulse for more. After a long, breathless moment he easily deepened his caress into her slippery folds.Encouraging him with moans of pleasure, she inched forward and layered on openmouthed kisses, letting him know how good he was making her feel as he caressed her. Velvety waves of pleasure rolled outward from his touch, making her limbs weak and tingly, her core tight and eager.With clumsy fingers, she undid his shirt buttons, wanting to taste his skin.He took his hands off her long enough to yank his shi
