lick her quivering pussy for several minutes as she gyrated her hips, mashing her bottom into him. When he gently tugged and nipped at her engorged clitoris, Jade moaned and grabbed his hair as the first wave of contractions took hold of her. Charles lifted her off the bed and buried his tongue deep inside. This time her moan was long as she was caught up in another wave of pleasure. Charles didn’t stop until she reached for him. As he rose above her, their lips met in a crushing kiss and he slipped inside her. They moved to a syncopated rhythm of love known only them. It was not only a melding of their bodies, but of their souls. When Charles climaxed, Jade was surprised to find herself coming again, as well.
    Now thoroughly sated and exhausted, they cuddled in the afterglow. Breathlessly, Charles whispered, “I love you, Jade. Promise me you’ll never leave me again.”
    Jade had once heard that a person’s eyes were windows to their soul. When she read what was said in Charles’s eyes, she became a true believer. As tears of gladness slipped from the corners of her smiling eyes, she replied, “I promise.”
    His mouth sought hers and they sealed their vows with a kiss. Whatever the future held, Jade knew they’d face it together. And hopefully, without too much interference from Caroline.

Chapter 12
    It took Charles several weeks to locate and rent a reasonable three-bedroom apartment in Manhattan for her and Preston. The building had a doorman and was located near a small playground where nannies and other moms took their children to play. Jade wasn’t surprised to learn that the park was a strong selling point for Charles. He would have wanted to find a place out on Long Island surrounded by lots of trees and grass, but for now this would do.
    Jade soon got into the habit of taking Preston there. He loved the slide and the sandbox. Watching him enjoy himself, surrounded by other children, was worth the ton of sand he brought home daily in his clothing.
    Springtime in New York was a wonderful time of year. The sweet smell of nature in bloom touched by the hint of summer made it Jade’s favorite time of year. After being bundled in coats and scarves, suddenly the chatter of birds could be heard as people emerged from the cocoon of their winter clothing. Preston was blooming, as well. It would seem that things had worked out for Jade, after all.
    Then there was another saying that came to mind one day a few weeks later. It was something about always expecting the unexpected—or something to that effect.
    Preston and Jade were in the park enjoying the warmth of the sun. He was in his small stroller munching on a pretzel, while she was sitting on a bench reading a book on her Kindle.
    A voice said, “What a beautiful baby.”
    Jade looked up into the icy-cold, gray-blue eyes of a dark-haired woman without a hair out of place. She knew it was Charles’s wife from a family portrait Charles had had on his desk. Jade felt her stomach lurch, but said nothing, feeling like a fly in the shadow of a spider, waiting for her to strike.
    “I heard he was into dark meat, now. However, I just had to see for myself.”
    “What do you want, Caroline? It is Caroline, isn’t it?”
    “Nothing more than to see you gone. I hate to see money that should be coming to me and my son being diverted to unimportant causes.”
    “You don’t seem to be starving,” Jade said making reference to her jewelry and expensive-looking full-length leather coat. She doubted that pampered woman had ever worked a day in her life, certainly not enough to deserve the beautiful home and idyllic lifestyle Charles had provided for her.
    A wicked smile formed on her face. “You think he’ll divorce me and marry you—especially now that you have a child. Well, I have news for you, girlfriend . He’s never going to leave me. Tsk, tsk, too bad. You had the damn kid for nothing.”
    “Get out of here,” Jade said. “Go do your slumming someplace
