Jessica C. Dolan

The kiss grew more passionate as he felt her warm supple body pressing against his chest.
He couldn’t believe how soft she was.
He was gentler this time, making love to her with a slow, languorous pace, pausing now and then to check the expression on her face.
Kira was… transported.
She no longer felt the fabric of the sheets underneath her.
One moment, she was floating in the air, cuddled by cotton candy clouds.
The next, she’d become one with a dinghy, bobbing up and down with the undulating waves.
His scent enveloped her.
He was on top of her, using his arms to support his weight and avoid crushing her.
She snuggled up closer to him, safe and snug, cocooned in his warmth.
Kira had always marvelled at Austyn’s stamina, but he outdid himself tonight.
In the midst of overwhelming rapture, Kira still had the presence of mind to broach the subject she’d been meaning to bring up. ‘My dad’s medical bills…’
Austyn paused.
He frowned as he looked into those beseeching eyes.
‘It’ll be taken care of by the end of business day tomorrow,’ he said with a bit of an edge in his voice.
Kira breathed out.
******
She is a 21-year-old college student who dreams of becoming a journalist.
He is the heir of the McCarthy family and president of a business empire.
She is bright-eyed and vivacious, a glass-half-full kind of gal.
When life throws her a curveball, she knocks it out of the park.
He is the archetypal alpha male, aggressive and domineering.
Endowed with both brains and brawn, he steamrolls over his enemies and rules his company with an iron fist.
The two would never have crossed paths if not for a cruel twist of fate.
Kira’s world was turned upside down when her father was hospitalised after a car accident.
The medical bills were astronomical.
Austyn McCarthy offered her a way out.
The price: becoming his contract wife.
At night, he consummated their marriage but called out another woman’s name.
Who was she?
Why did Austyn marry Kira if he was in love with someone else?
Kira was his lawful wife, but she had no right to ask these questions.
Then one day, the woman showed up in front of her…

Bedmates? Soulmates!

Gideon’s reply came fast. ‘I’m sorry, I really am. I know what I did was wrong. I just lost it. I’m really, really sorry.’


Gideon was persistent. ‘I’ve been by your side for four years. I never once forced you to be with me. You know that. I’m content with being just friends as long as you don’t have anyone else in your life. I thought we could continue this way. I can wait. One day, you’ll see that you and I belong together. But then Austyn came back. You ran back to him without a moment’s hesitation. I can’t stand it. I simply can’t! I can’t lose you to him, not again!’


Kira returned her tray and left the cafeteria.


‘Kira, I never wanted to hurt you. You know that. I just lost control last night. I was wrong. I’m sorry. I swear I’ll never do it again. I know you are mad at me. I’ll do anything to make it up to you. Could you forgive me, please?’
