Jason did not hear Nancy frightened whisper of 'What are you doing?' as he kept drawing closer and closer to her like someone in a trance and he must have been because the only thought in his head was to taste her lips one more time.

Nancy herself stood rooted to the spot. Her back to the wall of the pool and her hands clenching it.

Jason got there and tipped her face upward.

Nancy could see his eyes dark with desire and felt an answering response in her. She felt hot all over all of a sudden. She could not have moved from the spot had something hit her. She stood in anticipation. Her body wanted this.

Their lips met and it was electric once again.

This time there was no prompting. Their tongues danced inside each other, as they bit each other's lips in pleasure.

They were already almost naked. Their bodies touching each other was already ablaze.

Her hands went round his neck as she kissed him back passionately.

Jason lost all rational thought.as his arm went round her back and the other,pulling her buttocks closer to him.

He had never lost control this way, his erect and throbbing cock was pressed into the middle of her thigh and despite herself, a soft moan escaped her lips.

The moan drove him wilder. His hot demanding lips went from her mouth to her neck and Nancy threw her head back, allowing him more access, it was like hot coals scorching her body and she felt cold at the same time like for and I e playing on her body.

A warm liquid was dripping down her thighs, this was incredible

She could not believe she was feeling this way. She had not felt as intensely as this before.

Jason trail kissed her to her earlobe and she felt that she was going out of her mind. One hand was stroking her breast and the bulge pressing into her middle was doing something to her and she unconsciously opened her thighs wider and his cock fell into her thighs, touching her cunt directly.

She moaned louder and he groaned like an anguished animal.

His lips kissed her nipples and she cried with pleasure.

Her head was telling her that this could not be happening but her body was asking her to stop thinking and enjoy this marvel she was feeling.

Then the image of Rebecca's face appeared before her and her desire was doused immediately as she realised suddenly what she was doing and pushed Jason off.

Jason was still dazed as she was but Nancy recovered quickly remembering that he had gone out on a date with his ex wife and was here toying with her.

'Wha...what is it Nancy love?' he asked frustration in his every stance.

'What you say? You just came home from being with one of your girls, most probably your ex-wife and here you are trying to make love to me?

I refuse to be a rich man's play thing. If you need a toy to play with go out and get one for yourself. I shan't be that toy. Sorry', she said, rushing off, out of the pool to get her robe and slipped in her haste but Jason caught her and the fire was back in their loins and veins. It was just so easy forgetting about everything and melting back into his arms. They kept looking at each other and each could see the need in the other and Jason had never known such desire as he knew then, he wanted to do unprintable things to her. He was shocked at the strength of his need.

He had not been starved of female company. What was he doing being so attracted to this little girl who was not even his type and who was pregnant in the bargain.

He must be out of his mind, he thought to himself.

'I might be put of my mind but it is out of my need for you. I desire you greatly', he thought but said it out loud.

Nancy who had been waiting with baited breath for him to kiss her so that she could experience once more the wonder of being loved by him, came to her senses.

He only desired her, not love her. He had other women too with who he had his pleasure. There was nothing special about him wanting her.

She was a fool to think that there might be something else happening here.

She pulled herself out of his grasp and gingerly stepped out of the pool.Got her robe, tied it round her body and walked back to her quarters without another word.

Jason just stared at her not sure what had just happened.

He was sure of one thing though and that was the fact that he wanted Nancy desperately. The evidence of that need was still throbbing with frustration between his legs.

He dived angrily into the pool. He had tried to avoid this. But he had just got even more entangled and now, there was nothing to be done about it

He wanted Nancy and knew that Nancy was not the kind to agree to his no - strings attached relationship.

She had had one encounter with the villain who made her pregnant and Abandoned her but he doubted that she would be trusting enough or even ready to go into any affair with him or any man for that matter.

But he could have sworn that he saw his own desire mirrored in her eyes. And she had responded like her life depended on it and he had been lost in her eyes and carried away that if she had not stopped him, he didn't know if he would have been able to stop himself.

He had to know what had happened to her. How did she end up in this kind of mess?

He stayed in the pool for a long time before getting out and going upstairs to his room.

He could not sleep. He was deep in thought. The events of the past few days was just too much for him to comprehend.

He had started feeling that Phoebe was starting to act possessive towards him. He might be over thinking it but he was sure that he had started seeing some strange behaviour in her. He would have to call her to order.

Then Rebecca had materialized out of the blue. And she wanted back into his life, the nerve!

And now this! What was he going to call this? What was this all about? He didn't want to delve too deeply into his reactions to Nancy. It was enough that he realised that he wanted her. And that was all there was to it.

He kept tossing and turning until he eventually fell into a deep sleep.

When Jason woke the next day, he was not in the best of moods. He had had a dream where he had encountered Nancy in the pool.

She had been naked. Her translucent skin glistering and calling out to him in the moonlight pool.

Her breasts were well formed and firm. Her eyes filled with desire and a promise of unforgettable passion as he tipped her face up to look deep into them and he felt himself drowning in those beautiful hazel eyes of hers.

She had twisted her waist and his cock had stood at attention, throbbing painfully.

He looked at her well formed figure, and saw that her stomach had a little bulge but it did not detract from her lovely figure instead it made her fuller in the right places and he was consumed by desire.

'You are beautiful', he breathed as he looked into her eyes again with a silent question but met a challenge in hers that excited him.

It was almost as though she was daring him to take the next step.

Her luscious lips drew his eyes away from her mesmerizing eyes and he was not able to control himself as he bent and captured her lips with his in a searing kiss that left the both of them breathless and hot with desire.

His dick was getting fuller and more rigid with need with each passing second and it was happening so fast. He felt that he may not be able to hold out much longer as he took her breasts into mouth.

Her moan drove him out of his mind.He drew her closer to him his hands on her firm buttocks. She lifted her left leg backwards, causing her v- region to be pressed firmly on his cock. He groaned.

And pushed her to the wall of the pool where he raised her kegs and was about to thrust his dick which was full into her hut she had gone out of his arms and his dick went into a hole in the wall he didn't know was there. He was far gone that he spurted none the less and heard Nancy laughing, only it was no longer Nancy but Rebecca taunting him.

He woke with a jerk and found that his semen had stained his pyjamas and had soaked the bed sheet.

He wiped it off with a toilet paper and removing the bed sheet,through into the laundry basket along side his pyjamas.

He considered burning them. He would not miss them since he had alot as it was.

Jason could not remember when last he had a wet dream. It must have been during his high school days.

There had never been a reason for him to feel so sex starved. He had always had the ladies at his beck and call and when he had married Rebecca, she had always been ready, almost too eager to get under the sheets with him. He had not had reason for complaint but had loved it thinking it was love. Only now, he knew better. It had been plain lust or her means of manipulating him into being blind to her real colours.

Even after she left him he had not felt this type of sexual frustration.

And now, he had lady friends who were only too willing to grace his bed, he only had to say the word but he was busy lusting after a pregnant girl he was supposed to be a guardian to.

He had a quick shower and a change of clothes. Looking at the wall clock, he found that it was time he got ready for work.

He went downstairs for breakfast and found the object of his night mare there.

'Goodmorning', she greeted trying at cheerfulness but her voice was strained and there was tension.

He blamed himself for it.

'Good morning ', he replied. 'Hope you had a great night?'.

Oh, goodness! What a question to ask when he was trying hard to forget the night he had where he had behaved like a teenager who had lost every shred of self control.

'Of course! And why not? And you?' she answered quickly. Too quickly, she thought.

'Great!' he replied avoiding her eye.

They sat to breakfast. And the tension in the room was tangible.

Mrs. Potts brought the coffee and could feel the tension in the room.

Nancy had not been herself when she had come in this morning and when she had asked her, she had said it was nothing.

Mrs. Potts had assumed that it was just pregnancy blues and had smiled, believing that she would get over it before the end of the day, but here, she could sense that it was more than pregnancy blues that had been troubling Nancy.

'Was anything going on between these two?' she wondered.

She liked Nancy and would not want her to be hurt. She also did not want her boss to be hurt having experienced all he passed through when his wife left him.

They were both good people and would be good for each other but she doubted if they had healed enough to go into another relationship.

Nancy had not really confided in her but from scrapes of conversation they had had, she had deduced that she had once been in love and had been heart broken and she guessed that her pregnancy was one of the souvenirs of that failed relationship.But then again the both of them needed each other to heal faster. She hoped it would all turn out for the best.

She went back into the kitchen deep in thought.

She did not want to share this with any of the trusted staff untill she had more proof.

Jason kept stealing glances at her and saw that her face was drawn. He cursed himself.

He knew he had to talk about what happened between them last night but he did not know what to say and he would not be able to bear it if she said anything about it being a comfort being rendered from one friend in need to the other because he knew it was not.

He had not been in need of comfort that night, he had been in need of her body and no other person's, not Rebecca's, not Phoebe's and not the body of his other lady friends.

Nancy kept looking at him from under her eye lashes as she ate and drank her tea. She had had a dislike for coffee since she became pregnant.

'Nancy, I will not say that I am sorry for last night because I am not and do t tell me you were offering me comfort. We both know that isn't true.

It may have been true the previous time but not now. We have to talk about this thing between us' he started.

'Jason, there is nothing between us. It must have been a moment of weakness but that was all there was to it' she said quickly.

'Is it really? Can you sincerely say that you felt nothing when I held you in my arms in the pool last night?'

'Like I say, it was just a moment of weakness. Everybody has it but one must not take advantage of it. I was vulnerable last night. It was just my vulnerability acting. Nothing else. So, let's not make a mountain out of a mole hill', she said smiling to soften her harsh words.

'Then can you explain to me, your words about not wanting to be a play thing for a billionaire like me?'

'It was said at the heat of the moment but that is very true. I would not want to be the play thing to any man. I have had enough of that from my previous encounter to last me a lifetime', she said her voice trembling.

Jason heard the hurt in her voice and wanted to throw something at the man who had done this to her.

'Tell me about it', he requested.

'We had to get going to work, else we shall be late', she said.

'I'm sure we can spare a few minutes',

'Well, I can't ecause I am still an employee and not the owner and a few minutes would not cover it. It is a long story'.

'Do you promise then, to tell me when we get back home? ' he asked not wanting to let her off the hook easily.

When she hesitated, he said, 'But that is what friends are for. I am your boss but I confided in you as your friend when you asked me to. Well, it is your turn. A problem shared is solved or half solved already'

Nancy considered this. She did not know if she was ready to share this with a to e. She had not even shared it with Anna at the office and now sharing it with a man, and her boss too? Would he not think less of her when he heard the story of her gullibility? And that was what she did not want.

Why his opinion of her should matter, she did not know and did not want to delve into the reason at the moment but she found that it did matter, very much.

'I shall make no such promise about tonight but I promise to tell you when I am ready'. she said eventually.

Jason wanted to pursue the issue but decided against it. She was right. She would confide in him when she was ready and he knew that he would be waiting.

'About us?"

'There is no us, Jason. There could never be us.I am carrying another man's child and you have your lady friends and your ex wife is now in the picture as well. Let us forget that last night ever happened!' she said and it pained her to say those words be ause it had meant so much to her. Much more than she was willing to admit even to herself.

'I am promising you that you are not going to be a toy to me', he said seriously, 'and I do not mind your pregnancy'.

'Of course you will not mind until you get what you want out of me. Then you will remember that I am a used object and not fit for your attentions.But I am much wiser now.I will not be made a fool of by anyone anymore', she thought to herself bitterly.

But said aloud, 'You don't mind it now but what about later? And what kind of relationship would we have?' When he did not say anything, she felt sad knowing that she had been right all along but not wanting him to see how his silence had hurt her.Instead,she continued as though she had not waited for or expected any answer to her question,'Tongues will wag and I cannot compromise myself again. We are worlds apart. We are two parallel lines that cannot meet. Let's not go into a relationship that would hurt either of us again. You may have the heart to endure that but I do not think that I do. We are mature adults,we can control our emotions. Then let's do it.Control our emotions, that is! I shall get my hand bag so that we can get going.We are late as it is', she stood up hastily. She could feel the tears coming on. And did not want to break down in front of him. Why did she not meet him before her wretched boyfriend. Now, she had no faith in any man. She wanted desperately to be with him and it really surprised her to find that out but she would not allow herself to make that mistake again.

After the birth of her child, she would get I to a relationship with any ordinary man who would appreciate her and not thing that she was an object he could purchase with his money.

Jason felt there was no need arguing about it since she felt this way and he had no answer when she had asked what kind of relationship he wanted to have with her.

He had not thought that far. And he was not sure he wanted permanence just yet but he was ready to make sure that she and her child did not lack for anything.

But he had a feeling that that might not be what she wanted and he could not give her that which she wanted from him. Not yet anyway.

The drive to the office was a silent one and when they got there,she didn't wit for him to open her door for her but got out by herself and hurried into the building to start the day's work. Afterall that was what she was there for and not for encouraging impossible dreams like being the wife of the Lord of the manor.

She laughed bitterly at herself at the thought. How had she allowed herself to have fallen in love with Jason Campbell? Because she could not deny it. It had happened gradually that she had not known it was happening. She was a bigger fool than she gave herself credit for.
