Chapter 242: Not Easy To Beat

She felt the bed slightly shifted, making her aware that she was not alone anymore in her room. Then a light kiss touched her cheeks before it was gone again. She slowly opened her eyes to see who it was.

"Sorry, I did not mean to wake you up." She heard in her sleepy state, but she recognized it anywhere. At least she knew that she was not dreaming. "Go back to sleep. I'll change out of these clothes." The voice continued to tell her.

She closed her eyes again, not being able to focus her vision on anything in particular, satisfied that she already knew who it was. And somehow, her nose could also identify the scent that only one person possessed.

Then, after a few minutes, the bed moved again, and then a heavy arm wrapped itself around her waist and pulled gently closer to the warm body behind her.

"I'm sorry I am late," Alex said once more before he buried his head in the crook of her shoulders. 

Having his warm body at her back, his arms holding her firmly, and sensing his steady heartbeat made her feel comforted and protected. Everything about what he did made her feel special.

It might be some big gesture like the flowers and the stuffed toys or the little things like this, the kiss, the spooning. Dani could not help but feel like she was suddenly the luckiest woman alive.

After a few more minutes of savoring each other's warmth and scent, they were both in Lala land, dreaming of rainbows and butterflies. There was no better way to fall asleep but in the arms of the person they loved. 

"Hey, good morning." She woke up earlier than him. Well, she had a head start, so it was understandable. "Aren't you going to work?" She asked as she placed a kiss on his lips.

It was a bit late than her usual wake-up time but still early for them to be late for work. They still had plenty of time to prepare and had a quick breakfast if they were up for it.

He opened his one eye to look at her, and then he suddenly pulled her back to bed. "I am, but after I got my morning fix." He announced, surprising her and pinning her on the bed.

She already had her shower. Now her hair was spread on the bed, still slightly wet. "We are going to be late." She told him. But she doubted that he cared about that as he lowered his head to claim her lips.

Once his lips touched hers, she knew there was nothing else she could do. As he started untying the belt of her robe, she acknowledged that she was a goner. She wanted what he was willing to give.

"Oh, ah." That was the only response she was capable of giving back to all the sensational things his mouth and his hands were doing to her body. 

She was like a musical instrument that he played through his tune, creating a rhythm with each movement they made. Then at the end of it, a magical melody filled up the room.

After a few moments of trying to recover from such an intense passion, both catching their breaths, they looked at each other, quite satisfied.

"You are going to make us late." She chastised him as she recovered from the high and pulled herself up from the bed.

"I think that was worth being late for." He grinned, quite proud of himself as he plopped some pillows on the headboard, put his two hands behind his nape, and made himself comfortable at the bed.

"Well, you think you are funny because you are the boss of the company." She straddled him and poked him in the chest. "Some of us need to be on time." 

"Then, why did you not stop me?" Alex gave her his boyish grin. He knew that he had her, and she had no excuse.

"Because you are one naughty man." She kissed him hard on the lips and then left him in the bed to fix herself up and get dressed. But not a minute longer, he was on her tail, taking a long shower with her.

To sum it up, she knew she would be fashionably late today. By the time she went out of her room, Jacky was long gone. 

"Look at what you have done." She said as she checked her watch. Luckily, she had no schedule this morning that needed her immediate attention, or else it would be a mess.

But she knew it was also her fault for letting him manipulate her this morning. However, admittedly she enjoyed every minute or second of it.

"I was only thinking of your needs and mine." He whispered before they parted as they went on their separate vehicles on their way to their respective offices.

He knew that it was indeed his fault for seducing her, but he could not help it when she appeared like an angel in his dream, wearing that white towel on her hair and covering herself with that white robe.

"Fine." She responded, blowing him a kiss before she entered her car and started her engine.

She could not argue with him when she felt like she was up in the clouds. She was certainly not expecting that when she woke up this morning. And she would not mind a repeat of that from now and then.

She happily smiled at her naughty thoughts of him as she drove herself back down to earth and her office. She had to come down sometime and face the music. She had much work to do.

Then, she realized she failed to ask him about the charity event. She thought about it last night. But by the time he came home, she was already sleeping.

But the phone ringing interrupted her thoughts again. "Yes, Mom." She answered, wondering why her mom was calling so early in the morning.

"Your Dad," Laura said in a panicked voice.

"What about Dad?" She immediately asked, sensing the tremble in her tone and the difficulty of her breathing.

"We have to rush him to the hospital." Her mom said. She could hear the small sobs that she was trying to control. But it was there. She could sense her mother's fear.

"Why?" A million scenarios started to rush into her brain, but she refused to panic as she waited for her mom's reply. 

"I think he had a heart attack, but I am still waiting for the doctors' confirmation." Laura could only speculate on what happened to him based on what she saw. 

"Wait for me, Mom. I am on my way." She knew that her mom would need her by her side. After learning the name of the hospital, she quickly maneuvered the car and went on her way.

She still did not want to panic, knowing that her father was in great hands. It was a very reputable hospital, and they had the best thoracic surgeons in the city.

She had faith that her father could survive this. He was a tough man and would not easily succumb to an illness.. Ethan Hamilton, her father, was not easy to beat.
