...A smile gleamed on Katherine's face as she tossed under the covers. She inhaled sharply, his smell still hanging in the air, unleashing sweet memories in her mind.She held the covers in her fist as she drifted awake and sat up. She felt the cover directly contacting her body and her naked legs clustered against each other. A sensational ache coming directly from her core hit her but her smile only widened knowing how it came about. A notification sound from her phone diverted her thoughts and she collected it from the nightstand, operating it to read the message that had popped in. *Your appointment with Bella's touch has been approved.Appointment time: 12A.MDuration: 3 hours*Good. Katherine smiled. She was going to spoil herself today until she had no more money left in her account. She couldn't remember when last she went to a proper hairstylist to have her hair professionally styled. She had been engrossed in other things and other people and kept her secondary needs asi

... Katherine scanned the document and it got displayed on her laptop, she found the position more comfortable. She was in her dressing robe with nothing underneath, her shower cap still on her hair. She choose to go through the contract first before picking an outfit for the night. After returning from the trip with the maids bringing in her shopping bags, Katherine didn't realize how much stuff she got. She spent at least an hour trying on the clothes and keeping aside the two infant onesies that caught her eyes at the baby section, she would have cried if she hadn't added them to her cart, judging by her tweaking hormones. They were so cute, she already imagined how adorable they would look on her child. Since Margie already covered the shopping for baby things, Katherine didn't get more stuff and she had to leave the section to curb further temptation or Tony's suspicious gaze. Everything there messed with her hormones, almost making her burst into tears at how cute they loo

.... The longest ride Katherine has ever had in her life finally came to an end. She breathed out when the door was pulled open for her and a rush of air, different from the warm, tickling one in the car, savored her skin. Katherine climbed out of the car and stared at the building in front of her, it was of average height but insanely broad. On the last floor, a little into the roof was an inscription made with silver platings that read, THE HORATIO ART GALLERY. "Come here," Anderson said and she went over to his side. They walked to the entrance together. "Good morning, Mr. Riecke!" Some men greeted. They were carrying a large painting into the gallery, Katherine traced where they came from and discovered there was a truckload of different artworks that were being off-loaded. Anderson's skin on hers jolted her gaze back to him and she noticed he was now two steps ahead of her. She covered it easily and they walked into the entrance together. The front hall was not as occup

....Anderson watched Katherine's back as she dressed up. He was naked under the covers, but he entertained his gaze with the sight of her. His mind was exhausted but if he wasn't considering her strength, he would readily go another round. How can one want a woman so bad, he never got tired of her body? He hated how his thoughts were contradicting his heart. His heart didn't want Katherine.The cover slid off halfway and Katherine seemed not to have noticed as she got into her pant. The small of her back, her translucent skin, and the marks on her body, signifying all the places his mouth had touched while she moaned in pleasure, made his groin shift. In a way, it made him feel superior. Realizing she was naked halfway, Katherine grabbed the covers and covered herself again, leaving Anderson to imagine how red her cheeks must be from embarrassment. Since she moved in, they've had more sex than conversations. It seemed to be the only language they understood among themselves. Or t

....There was only two days left to the function when Katherine's dress arrived from the seamstress, wrapped in a fine package and presented to her by Shania. It was late and Anderson was yet to return from work, leaving Katherine to wonder if he sent her to deliver the package herself. Tony walked in right after her. "Try it on and tell me if there's anything you would like to change," she crossed her arms as she spoke. She hated the fact that Anderson put her in charge of Katherine's outfit simply because the seamstress was family to her. If anything went wrong, he would no doubt lash at her and it pricked her heart to know it was for Katherine's cause. When he told her to pick out a dress days ago, she was ecstatic as she had thoughts the outfit was for her to wear to the function with him, as his date. Her hopes dashed when she found out that same day that it was Katherine's. Katherine would never forget the glares Shania sent her way while seated beside the seamstress who
