London was our present point of rest; we determined to remain several months in this wonderful and celebrated city. Clerval desired the intercourse of the men of genius and talent who flourished at this time, but this was with me a secondary object; I was principally occupied with the means of obtaining the information necessary for the completion of my promise and quickly availed myself of the letters of introduction that I had brought with me, addressed to the most distinguished natural philosophers.If this journey had taken place during my days of study and happiness, it would have afforded me inexpressible pleasure. But a blight had come over my existence, and I only visited these people for the sake of the information they might give me on the subject in which my interest was so terribly profound. Company was irksome to me; when alone, I could fill my mind with the sights of heaven and earth; the voice of Henry soothed me, and I could thus cheat myself into a transitory peace. But busy, uninteresting, joyous faces brought back despair to my heart. I saw an insurmountable barrier placed between me and my fellow men; this barrier was sealed with the blood of William and Justine, and to reflect on the events connected with those names filled my soul with anguish.But in Clerval I saw the image of my former self; he was inquisitive and anxious to gain experience and instruction. The difference of manners which he observed was to him an inexhaustible source of instruction and amusement. He was also pursuing an object he had long had in view. His design was to visit India, in the belief that he had in his knowledge of its various languages, and in the views he had taken of its society, the means of materially assisting the progress of European colonization and trade. In Britain only could he further the execution of his plan. He was for ever busy, and the only check to his enjoyments was my sorrowful and dejected mind. I tried to conceal this as much as possible, that I might not debar him from the pleasures natural to one who was entering on a new scene of life, undisturbed by any care or bitter recollection. I often refused to accompany him, alleging another engagement, that I might remain alone. I now also began to collect the materials necessary for my new creation, and this was to me like the torture of single drops of water continually falling on the head. Every thought that was devoted to it was an extreme anguish, and every word that I spoke in allusion to it caused my lips to quiver, and my heart to palpitate.After passing some months in London, we received a letter from a person in Scotland who had formerly been our visitor at Geneva. He mentioned the beauties of his native country and asked us if those were not sufficient allurements to induce us to prolong our journey as far north as Perth, where he resided. Clerval eagerly desired to accept this invitation, and I, although I abhorred society, wished to view again mountains and streams and all the wondrous works with which Nature adorns her chosen dwelling-places.We had arrived in England at the beginning of October, and it was now February. We accordingly determined to commence our journey towards the north at the expiration of another month. In this expedition we did not intend to follow the great road to Edinburgh, but to visit Windsor, Oxford, Matlock, and the Cumberland lakes, resolving to arrive at the completion of this tour about the end of July. I packed up my chemical instruments and the materials I had collected, resolving to finish my labours in some obscure nook in the northern highlands of Scotland.We quitted London on the 27th of March and remained a few days at Windsor, rambling in its beautiful forest. This was a new scene to us mountaineers; the majestic oaks, the quantity of game, and the herds of stately deer were all novelties to us.From thence we proceeded to Oxford. As we entered this city, our minds were filled with the remembrance of the events that had been transacted there more than a century and a half before. It was here that Charles I. had collected his forces. This city had remained faithful to him, after the whole nation had forsaken his cause to join the standard of Parliament and liberty. The memory of that unfortunate king and his companions, the amiable Falkland, the insolent Goring, his queen, and son, gave a peculiar interest to every part of the city which they might be supposed to have inhabited. The spirit of elder days found a dwelling here, and we delighted to trace its footsteps. If these feelings had not found an imaginary gratification, the appearance of the city had yet in itself sufficient beauty to obtain our admiration. The colleges are ancient and picturesque; the streets are almost magnificent; and the lovely Isis, which flows beside it through meadows of exquisite verdure, is spread forth into a placid expanse of waters, which reflects its majestic assemblage of towers, and spires, a

CHAPTER ONE“Freshen up, Miss Knight, and meet me back in the living room in forty-five minutes. We’ll have to work through dinner,” Dante Damaso commanded as he tugged off his tie with one hand and poured himself a brandy with the other.AdvertisementCleopatra Pandora Knight stared at her boss with a simmering resentment that she hid behind a mask of impassivity. She was exhausted. They had landed at Narita airport that afternoon and had hit the ground running, with one meeting after the next, as they attempted to deal with the bureaucratic red tape that had delayed the start of construction on Dante’s new hotel. All she wanted was a hot shower and a good night’s sleep since she knew that she had to face more of the same frenetic pace tomorrow.Sadly, that was not to be; the boss wasn’t done working, and that meant no sleep for Cleo until he said so.“Yes, Mr. Damaso,” she said demurely, keeping her voice low and emotionless. He didn’t acknowledge her response, picking up a newspaper and perusing the headlines with the intense focus he gave whatever activity he happened to be engaged in at any given moment. Recognizing the dismissal, Cleo turned and headed for her room.When Cleo realized that she would be sharing the penthouse suite of one of the most exclusive hotels in Tokyo with her boss, she had a moment of panic. Until she’d seen the suite. Her entire apartment back in Cape Town could fit into this place several times over. It had three huge bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a living room. Nothing but the best for Dante Damaso. Until his hotel was built, he would stay in what would soon be the second best hotel in Tokyo.Cleo rolled her head on her shoulders and listened to her neck creak with the movement. God, she felt like she could sleep for a week, whereas the boss barely looked winded. It was a little infuriating how indefatigable he was, especially since it impacted Cleo directly. She sighed and allowed herself a moment of self-pity before rummaging through her suitcase for a change of clothing, and padding to the bathroom.She was back in the living room exactly forty minutes later, dressed in a modest blue slip dress in which she felt a lot more comfortable than the suits she was required to wear for this job. Her short bob was still damp from the shower, and she hadn’t bothered with makeup. She hoped that the boss wouldn’t mind her lack of formality and was relieved to note that he’d removed his tie, unbuttoned the top two buttons of his white shirt, and folded back his shirtsleeves to reveal extremely masculine forearms. Her favorite kind—strong, lightly dusted with hair, with raised veins mapping a path to his capable-looking hands.He looked up and grunted when she entered the room.“Good, you’re back. We have to go through today’s minutes and compile a list of the most pertinent facts. Then take care of the day’s correspondence. You get started on that; I have to make a few phone calls.”He turned away from her and lifted his phone to his ear. Cleo stared at his broad back for a moment before trudging over to the laptop with a muffled sigh. She wondered if he’d ordered room service yet; she was starving. She glanced around the room and gasped in outrage when she saw the room-service cart standing off to the side of the room, with the uncovered empty plates precariously stacked one on top of the other. Another quick look around the room told her that there was definitely no other food around. Had he actually forgotten to order something for her? Was the man wholly incapable of thinking of anybody but himself? She picked up the room telephone to order her own meal, but he had finished his call and cast her a sharp look.“Stop wasting time, Knight,” he growled, tapping away at the screen of his phone. “We have a lot of work to do. I didn’t bring you along to sit around looking pretty and doing nothing.”The injustice of that statement left her fuming, and she bit back a sarcastic retort, knowing that she had no alternative but to swallow down the anger she felt toward him. Cleo knew that—due to the last-minute nature of this trip—she’d been his only choice as assistant. And since the man had avoided testing her full potential in the office up until now, he didn’t trust her to get anything done competently. Still, Cleo had jumped at the opportunity to join him. The heady excitement of a trip to Japan combined with the desire to prove herself capable of doing this job to both Dante Damaso and to herself had proved hard to resist. Yet now, feeling completely overwhelmed, all she wanted was to run back home with her tail between her legs.All because her boss was doing his level best to be an ass.Don’t respond! Don’t respond! She repeated the two words over and over to herself. No mouthing off at the boss, no matter how much he deserved it.An hour and a half later, after they had powered their way through

SHADES OF ROMANCE EPISODE 1I struggled with the girl before me, weakening her with my strong hold. She kept quiet and lifted up her face to me.“Emmy i beg of you, let me be. Just leave me alone. Things shouldn’t happen between us” she pleaded passionately.I stared into her eyes, breathing deeply. Yea she was right.I very much knew i was doing a terrible thing, but just couldn’t resist her charms because she was simply magnificient. I was so bewitched by her beauty and she equally was everything i expected in a woman. She was so comely, homely, beautiful and sexy. But unfortunately she was my bestfriend’s girl which really got me in a very bad position.I was simply torn between doing the right thing and letting her go or doing the wrong thing and satisfying my needs. But no i couldn’t just let her go. She was worth more than anything to me.I swallowed hard, brought down my head and kissed her softly. She struggled once again, drew away from me and landed a very terrible slap on my face.“Jeez think Emmy. Just look at what you are doing. Take a look at your life” she screamed.“Everything about you excites me my love. I want you. I can’t refrain myself any longer” i breathed.“no this shouldn’t be. Just go home and take a good bath. Please leave, you are just horn.y, nothing else. So get out right now” she commanded.“no baby, i can’t. Tell me you feel nothing for me?” i asked. She stared at me for some seconds, turned and backed me, folding her hands.I slowly grabbed her from behind. My lips went straight to her neck, kissing it softly, the sweet scent from her hair filling my nostrils.“you are so beautiful. I’ll even betray my mother for you” i murmured, running my hands through her laps up to her stomach, gently gunning for the brea.sts. She struggled weakly and moaned.“please stop. I beg of you, stop this madness right now” she begged, but her words only encouraged me. In no time i was holding her bosoms, fondling and caressing them to satisfaction. My body was on fire, ready for a super nasty quickieI dragged her to a couch, gently lowered her on it with my body on her. She was still resisting weakly, but her body language told me she was enjoying it.Slowly I expertly pulled off her blouse, which gave me full view and access to her beautiful bosoms and neck. I moaned with pleasure, burying my head in between the great apples of Eden.I ate them with great pleasure, while she sang, moaned and wriggled. I was extremely excited, hot and ready to pull off my clothes for the great price.“at last” i breathed, slowly reaching underneath her short skirt. My left hand slowly went in, feeling her warm wet pant.“yeah baby” i moaned, but unfortunately someone knocked at the door that very moment, forcing her to push me away with great strength.“my God. He is here. Dress up and leave through the kitchen. Be fast, oh God” she begged nervously, pushing me towards the kitchen.I controlled my emotions, headed to the kitchen and speedily dressed up.“are you alright?” I heard Tony ask seconds later, as he walked into the sitting room.I bit my lips, cursed and walked to the kitchen exit door, trying to open it, but to my surprise, the door was locked with a key and the key was nowhere in sight…Not knowing what to do, I gently sat on a small kitchen stool and eavesdropped on the conversation going on in the sitting room.“Jenifer you don’t look too well to me, what’s wrong with you my love?” Tony asked again,“i’m alright, it’s just a little headache” she replied calmly.“No i think there’s more to it than just headache. You have been behaving funny lately, we hadly spent quality time together. C’mon my love you are changing” he poured out with despair. I listened with all my soul, my heart throbbing furiously.The conversation going on between my friend and Jenifer really was of great interest to me. How to carry on with my plans solely depended on all the secrets i could gather between the two love birds. I had every reason to listen to their conversation.“please my love, stop being paranoid. I haven’t changed in any way” I heard Jenifer reply, while something like a kissing sound instantly filled my ears, making me bite my lips with fury.“oh stop please. I told you i have a headache and all you can do is kiss me. Just leave i want to rest. Please” she hissed, relieving my fury a great deal. I smiled.“alright, i’m sorry. I guess i have to leave in order for peace to reign. I’m going over to Emeka’s place. I will call you later” Tony said quietly,“okay my love. I’ll be expecting your call” she answered.Seconds later i heard noises from the entrance door which clearly confirmed that my friend Tony was leaving. I breathed deeply, smiled to myself and stood up. My phone instantly rang, frightening me with its noise.I pulled it from my trouser pocket to see that it was Tony calling me. I hissed, ignored the call and looked up to see Jenifer staring at me with shock.all of the happen to me I got to sittuation that was dreaming to my self
