Lily glared at Neal as he stomped out of the room. How could this man be so brazen? How dare he make choices for her? This was not acceptable. Furious at him, she decided that she wouldn't pursue the siblings at all, instead she would wait to recuperate and then join the office. It was only a matter of days. She would bring the office back to its previous glory. Lily closed her eyes and lied down with an agitated heart.

When Neal reported his meeting to Dawn, she said, "It's fine. I am pretty busy as such! Moreover, I would like her to recuperate."

Neal frowned when he heard Dawn's concern. He wasn't satisfied. Lily Wyatt was not only arrogant, she didn't know that Dawn wasn't going full out against her because if she did, Lily would be finding her ass in the jail next to her daughter.

"Recuperate? Why would you do that? In fact you should send her to jail for being so arrogant rather than avoiding her. If she becomes better, she is going to go back to the office and we will lose this golden opportunity to get hold of the Wyatt business," Neal countered looking at her with wide disbelieving eyes. What did she have in mind?

Dawn walked away from her and sat at the dining table. Daryn and Cole were peeling mangoes and rather than giving to her, they were eating it. Dawn had ordered the exotic mangoes all the way from Thailand because all of a sudden she craved for this fruit. However, ever since it had come, it was the boys in the house who had attacked the carton. Dawn walked to Daryn and picked the entire peeled fruit. He looked at her with a please-don't-take-my-peeled-fruit look and tried to convey you-peel-yourself, but Dawn gave him a sweet smile. She dug her teeth in the juicy flesh of the fruit and groaned with pleasure. "Mhmm…" Daryn gave her a hooded look imagining her lips on his shaft.

She wiped her lips and said, "I am avoiding Lily on purpose."

"Why?" Neal asked exasperated at her calm demeanor.

Dawn poked her tongue in her cheek. "Neal, most businesses need her signatures and I need her power of attorney… at least for now. If I am correct, even if she heals, I highly doubt she can do anything on her own. So let her take her time. As for Cole and me, we have all the time in the world."

"That's a risky path Dawn, unless you have something in mind," said Neal. And he was angry at the way Daryn was behaving. He was so— so— smitten? He wasn't even arguing with her. "She may never call you again." His plan was to push Lily to the extent and then threaten her in a way that she would call Cole, but the wretched woman went in the opposite direction. She didn't want Dawn at all. "Why don't you say something to her, Daryn?" said Neal absolutely peeved at him.

Daryn was still watching the way she was eating. "Hmm?" he asked, not removing his gaze from her luscious lips. He got up and wiped her lips with his thumb and then sucked his thumb with a pop sound. "Dawn we need to talk about something very urgently," he said as his cock shot north. His pants became too uneasy to handle the bulge.

"By Skadi!" Neal said looking at his pants. "You are gross, man!" He stomped out of the dining room of the cottage.

Cole looked up at all of them and then went back to eating the mangoes. When the hell would he get this treat again? When he saw Neal going out, he called him, "Another round of chess? Or mangoes?"

Neal just closed the door with a bang and walked out. As for Daryn, he had picked his mate and was already wiping her lips clean with his on the way back to the bedroom. "You are too sweet Dawn. I think I am going to order more of these tomorrow. Perhaps I will cut the pieces and cover your body with them and then eat them and lick your skin along the way. Ah!" His imagination only made things worse for him. "Dawn, you siren," he said as he made her stand on the bed.

He opened her light blue dress to reveal her silk skin. Instantly, he got out of his clothes and tossed them to the far corner of the bed. He made her sit. "I want you to straddle me and take me in slowly."

"Good man," she said in an alluring voice. "I love this business." With a smile, she straddled him and rubbed his erection in her soft fingers.

"Ah! Woman, come on me. Take me in now!" he demanded.

She kneeled above his shaft saying, "Let the hullabaloo of Dawn and Daryn begin!"

He grinned.

But his grin faded when she started slipping down his shaft. He stared at her breasts as she inched down slowly – so slowly that it was almost a torture. He hadn't been interested in what she was doing ever since they had come to the cottage. He didn't even want to talk about the last few days, not because he didn't have questions, but because he knew that she was already fighting her inner feelings, braving them, altering a little. He just wanted her to relax and for that he needed to relax.

Once she had taken his shaft deep enough, he looked at his beautiful wife. Her black hair was falling around her petite face. There was a confident smile on those red lips. When she gyrated her hips on him, his eyes rolled back in his head and when he looked back at her, her nipples had swollen, demanding his lips around them. By Skadi, she made him feel so proud when she wanted him like this. She moved forward and grazed her lips over his nipples as hers raked his chest. The pleasure that emanated in his body with her act made his bulge swell inside. She kept her hand on his shoulders and then raised her hips and slowly she began to ride him.

He groaned when he saw her breasts bouncing and he so wanted to knead them. "So want them—"

Dawn smiled, lifted her breast with one hand and fed it to his hungry mouth. "Do you want this?" she asked in a dulcet voice.

He grabbed it with his lips and moaned. In between suckling them, he said, "God, I like you. I don't want this to end ever."

His woman, his mate was in his bed sating him and her lusts with her body. After all that had occurred after Gayle's confession, he was so tensed if their relationship suffered at all. Part of him still didn't believe that she was satiating him so much and he realized this episode was a big turnaround for her.

He moved his attention to her other breast. "My love," he breathed out. With his shaft deep inside her, this felt like home.

Dawn rose up and put her hands over his thighs, her hard nipples jutting out towards the ceiling. She gyrated her hips drawing more moans from him. She brought her hand to his balls and kneaded them, while he moved his hand to stroke her swollen bud. Dawn bucked her arch back giving him more access to it. "Greedy girl," he said and she writhed him harder as she went up and down. Suddenly, he slapped her slightly over there and she orgasmed hard.
