EPISODE 10
Sitting at the dinner was not easy at all for Jessica, but she did it successfully by never meeting Andy’s eyes. She felt his eyes on her constantly but never gave in to the temptation of looking at him back. He asked her pointed questions, but she never once looked at him while answering those questions. Andy’s dad was getting ready to leave.
Oh, I did not tell you both. I have organized a party for both of you.
"A what?" Andy asked.
"A celebration party. Since I missed your wedding, I want to have another celebration. It is coming up in three days’ time; all you need to do is dress up and come. The invitation would be sent to everyone. You don’t need to worry.
What the hell is this? Jessica almost said it. "Sir, I don’t think it is necessary." You would spend a lot of money. Why bother when the wedding was just two months ago? "
Mr. Williams smiled. "Oh son, you married a virtuous woman." Even knowing that she sleeps and wakes in money, she is still thinking of spending wisely. "
"Am I not fortunate?" Andy murmured, unconsciously linking his fingers with Jessica’s and brushing his thumb against her knuckles, making Jessie’s pulse race.
"Yeah, son. But I insist on hosting the party. "Jessica almost groaned." "I need to run now. See you two later."
They bid him farewell and walked back inside as he drove out.
"What are we going to do?" Jessica said as she paced.
"About what?" Andy relaxed fully as he sat on the chair.
What do you mean by ‘about what’? About the party, of course
Pretending to your dad was one thing; doing the same with a large number of people is a totally different thing, and I am sure I am not that good as an actress. "
"Why are you worrying yourself about that now?" It is still three days away. He paused. "There are better things to do now."
"Oh? And what is that? " If Jessica hadn’t been so agitated, she would have seen the gleam in his eyes. Before she could think, he jerked her until she fell, sitting awkwardly on his laps. "What are you doing, Drew?" she asked breathlessly.
"Would you like me to show you or tell you?" His voice was husky with desire.
Jessica could not even think of a reply as Andy’s hand moved to loosen her hair. "Your hair is so beautiful," he whispered huskily as he kissed her earlobes. She gasped. He kissed her neck and she whispered his name, not knowing if she wanted him to stop or continue. He raised his eyes, which were dark with desire, to hers. He could see the desire in her eyes and in her quickened breathing. He swore and crushed her mouth with his. Jessica responded with equal hunger, not even pretending to be impassive. Her slim hand went to his neck and held him close. Andy’s hands were everywhere at once, and she became lost. Something flashed through Jessica’s mind, and she tried to slow Andy down. "Bose!" she gasped.
"Don’t..." Don’t worry... "I gave her the day off"; before the information even registered in her mind, he was kissing her again. He stood up instantly, carrying her in his arms and marching towards the masters’ bedroom, kissing her as he went. When he got there, he set her on her feet. "Today, I will see what my wife hides beneath this cloth."

Andy changed his position on the bed as he came awake. His eyes landed on the angelic form sleeping on the bed, and his drowsiness vanished. Jessica had never looked more beautiful. She was more than he ever imagined, much more than any man would imagine. She had no clothes on and her only covering was the blanket that he had used to cover her from the night’s chill.
Ever since his father had left, he and Jessica had barely left the room. They had been too preoccupied with themselves to even notice time. Andy never even thought of working for a second. They were like a newly wedded couple on their honeymoon. They had laughed and laughed about the present, never once mentioning the past or the future. Jessica was always beautiful, but watching her laugh made her look downright stunning and breathtaking. He wanted to make that happiness resident in her. Andy had been left speechless by everything that had occurred when he discovered that he was her first.
To imagine that Jessica would give him such a priceless gift has moved him beyond reason. The realization had shaken him to his very core, and he made sure that that moment was special for Jessica too. As he watched her sleep, he felt an intense desire to protect her from harm. He knew almost nothing about the woman he married. He had felt that it was OK to know very little about her. The less you know about a woman, the easier it makes it for you to forget her,’ he had told himself. But he wanted to know Jessica. He wanted to know every single detail about her. The only thing she had told him about herself during this period of intimacy was the mishap that happened to her family. He had watched with horror as tears slipped down her eyes as she told him the story. It was devastating that she had to go through so much pain at such a tender age.
Andy watched Jessie pull up her knees like she was trying to shield herself and felt the deep urge to pull her into his arms and make her feel safe. This time, he did not resist the urge; he pulled her into his arms and was alarmed by the great delight he felt when she smuggled closer, burying her head in the fold of his shoulder. He kissed her forehead and brushed away the hair playing in her face. He had never felt more content in his life. Jessie felt so perfect in his arms, like that was where she was meant to be. Andy yawned and finally went back to sleep.
*****
Jessica had Andy’s hands around her when she woke up. She adjusted a bit and looked at Andy, but he was still very much asleep. She smiled and touched his bare chest with her fingertips. The past day was the best day of her life. Andy had made her feel like a princess, like she was the best thing that could ever happen to any man. But...
"No... I would not think about it," she thought. She refused to think about the fact that she had slept with her feigned husband; her contract was revoked. She refused to consider the fact that she had also given him her most precious gift; but of all the men Jessica had met, none deserved it more than Andy, and perhaps no one would ever deserve it more.But why did she do it? Why did she surrender her virginity to someone who would become her ex-husband in less than a year? She sighed. Somewhere deep down, she had an answer to that question; somewhere in the innermost part of her being, she knew that she would never have gotten in the family way with Andy if she did not have some feelings for him. Andy cleared his throat slightly, and Jessie jerked and looked at
Andy, who was now wide awake, was staring at her. She smiled shyly. "Good morning, Drew."
He was watching her now, making her nervous. "Good morning, sweetheart." He pushed his fingers through her hair and smiled. He knew what she had been thinking but did not want to mention it. He did not want the talk of the contract to spoil the day. "Your skin is so beautiful," he murmured, and Jessie blushed. "How was your night?"She smiled. "I was able to sleep in the latter part of the night, thank you."
Andy chuckled. "Oh... what were you doing?" He raised his brow.
Jessie’s face reddened. "Should have been 'what were we doing?'"
Andy laughed slightly, bent over and kissed her. "Should I show you or tell you what we were doing?"
Jessica frowned jokingly. "I think I know what we were doing, so none." They laughed, and he kissed her again, lingering this time to enjoy her sweet honeyed mouth.
"I'm so hungry now," he realized they hadn't eaten dinner.
"It is like I have not eaten for the past five decades," Jessica murmured, and Andy laughed.
"You are yet to see three decades."
"Yeah, but I surely feel hungrier than that."
He smiled. "Let me fix us something, just relax here."
"Are you not going to work today?" she half smiled.
He stood up."Certain benefits come with owning your own company." He was gloriously naked when he stood up, and Jessie’s mouth went dry as she stared at him. Andy immediately noticed her gaze on him and stood up, smiling as he pulled on a trouser.He turned, and she instantly averted her gaze. "You can stare at me honey", he grinned, but it did not last long. "I certainly am enjoying the view."
Jessica saw the hunger in his eyes and was alarmed when she looked at herself and saw that the blanket had slipped to her waist. She pulled it up instantly and could not meet his eyes.
He laughed. "Don’t be shy with me, honey; your body can drive a man crazy."
"I wouldn’t want you to go crazy now, would I?" He laughed and left. Jessica instantly picked up her camisole and wore it. Andy had seen her entirely naked, but that did not stop her from being self-conscious. She had always been conscious of exposing herself when someone was watching, even if it was a woman. Her friends had helped her get over the feminine part because, more often than not, they had to dress up together for an occasion. Getting naked or half naked in front of a guy was totally alien to me, though. Even going half naked in front of a prying male doctor for a scan had driven her crazy to the extent that she decided to change her doctor to a female doctor. Now that Andy had seen her nakedness, she was almost sure that he was the only man that she would give that privilege to. The surprising part was that she had actually wanted him to see her naked.
Putting on a flimsy skirt she didn’t remember owning, she started folding the clothes that were littering the floor and straightening the bedspread. Andy entered with a wide tray filled with food.
"Woow," Andy murmured as he took in Jessica’s appearance.
"You look divine. What the hell entered you to make you dress the way you used to? "
She smiled faintly. "You have no idea." "Bread and eggs, I could eat this every day," she smiled as she changed the subject.
He placed the tray on the bed, and they both sat. They blessed the food, and Jessica was about to dig in when she paused. "I didn't even ask if you were any good at cooking."
"Are you scared?" he grinned. He scooped up a sizeable amount of the egg. "Find out for yourself. Now, open your mouth. "
"What? No, I...
Andy pushed the food into her mouth as she spoke, and her rebuke vanished as the egg tantalized her taste buds. "Wow."
"Yeah, There was a time when I wanted to be a chef.
She smiled as she started eating. "Well, you are good. Ralph is the only guy I know that cooks. Immediately after she said it, she knew it was a mistake.
It was Andy’s turn to pause. "Who is Ralph?"
She cleared her throat. "My ex"
"Oh...", the food no longer sounded appealing to him.Could that be jealousy?
"He left me at the altar."
Andy froze. "I didn’t get you." She was silent. "You obviously did not mean what you just said."
"He was the reason I never wanted to get married again, the reason why I never wanted to catch any man’s fancy." "He left me feeling stupid and disgraced at the altar on our wedding day."
"Oh my God", he held Jessie as she fought the tears that sprang up. "It is OK, honey."
*****
"Oh, you are coming over... wonderful." I am expecting you, "she said into her phone and hung up. It was already the evening and everything had been magical. She got to the sitting room and sat beside Andy, who was listening to the news. He pulled her against his warm body.
"Where are you off to?" he asked.
I need to do my hair at the saloon. Sonia is coming over. She should be here in about two hours.
"Hope you won’t be staying long."
"No, I just want to set my hair." She stood up.
He took out his wallet to take out some money, but she stopped him. "I can manage Drew."
"Well, I don’t want you to manage" he gave her some money, much  more  than  she  would  ever   dream  of  using  for  her  hair.  She reluctantly took it, kissed him and left.
