Chapter 17 Marcus was disoriented when he woke up in a strange room . He tried to get up but he couldnt move . What was wrong with him ? He looked around but all he could see was the white ceiling and the chandelier . On his left , he could see something white , and it was the same on his right side . A pet cone ? Marcus was horrified to realize that someone had the nerve to put a pet cone on him . Look here , Daniella showed Marcus the photos that she took earlier and couldnt stop laughing at his dreadful appearance . She knew she was being a bully to Marcus but he started it first . With the shrink wrap all over his body , he looked like a fresh spring roll or even a mummy . Of course , the pet cone looked cute on dogs , but for Marcus , he was not cute but funny to look at . Dani ! What did you do to me ? Marcus shouted as soon as he found out what she did to his body that he looked like a mummy , wrapped in white and couldnt move . Then he remembered that moment when something hard hit him . Im sorry , Mr. Madrigal but you have to help me , Daniella said . What do you want from me ? Marcus clenched his jaw and gritted his teeth as he waited for her answer . I want your baby , Daniella answered . W what ? Are you crazy ? his voice roared inside the hotel room when he heard her answer . But then , she could only be joking . Youre kidding , right ? Do I look like Im joking ? Why do you think so , Marcus ? Marcus concluded that Daniella Reyes was a lunatic . What a waste , the woman was beautiful and sexy , and she looked smart too . Theres no need to tie me like this if you only wanted to have sex with me . I can make it more enjoyable and pleasant for you , Dani . Untie me this instant ! He ordered and tried to convince her . Her state of mind must be the reason why their agency was hired to look after her . How many detectives were ruined under Daniellas hands ? He wondered and sighed . I dont need it to be pleasant , Marcus . I like you and you look perfect to be my childs father , she added . If you want me so much , you should have agreed to do it with me when I asked you nicely , ! her about their phone conversation . ainded Nicely ? Did you ask nicely ?

Still , you dont have the right to do this to me , Dani . Do you really believe you will get out of this unscathed ? You better think again , Miss Reyes . You dont know me well enough to treat me this way ! Then , why dont you tell me everything about you right now , Marcus ? Oh God , you really are crazy ! Look , just let me go now , and I will help you find a man ; someone who is more handsome than me , he bargained with her . Mmmm , nice idea , but I am running out of time . We have to do it as soon as possible , she stated . I cant believe you are doing this to me ! I was being nice to you , Dani . Oh really ? I dont think so , Marcus . You acted nice because you wanted me in your bed . Whats the difference now ? Are you saying it was fine when you openly flirted with me ? Flirting is better than this ! Come on , Marcus . Dont be so dramatic ! Why are you so mad that I think of a better way to do this ? Lets not waste our time flirting when we can just do it right away , she explained . I dont know what to say to you anymore , Dani . You are so opinionated and you wouldnt listen to any of my words ! Stop pretending you wouldnt like whats about to happen , Marcus . You wanted to do it with me from the first time you saw me , she reminded him about the way he flirted with her . You are right . I want you in my bed . I want to fuck you , he said while shaking his head , and then he continued , But not like this , Dani . We can start again and let me seduce you , he emphasized that flirting and seducing would be a lot of fun . Nice , but as I have said earlier , I dont have much time to wait until youre done seducing me , Marcus , she told him . Oh no , it seemed that he had no way to escape from the crazy woman . When he lost Arianna , he thought of having a vasectomy because he didnt want to have a child anymore , but the idea was forgotten when he started living in Hacienda Velasquez , and now he regretted not having one . What if Daniella would force herself on him and it would result in pregnancy ? He would be forced to do something that he didnt want to do . Youre pretty , Dani . Im sure there will be several men in this building who would like to slee He said , in a hope that she would let him go .

But my mind is already set when I choose you , Daniella answered . Bearing His Child , Burying My Heart you . er but Chapter 17 That moment , Marcus came face to face with the reality that nothing was more dangerous than a crazy woman ! You cant do this to me ! I have work to do and How much ? She interrupted him in the middle of his explanation . Name your price , Mr. Madrigal . I dont need your money , Dani ! Just let me go and I will forget about this incident , he promised her . Im sorry . she said before she took the pet cone from his neck because he looked too uncomfortable with it . Behave , or I will put this back on your neck ! She warned him . Marcus was not afraid when she threatened him about the pet cone . I dont understand why you have to do this , Dani . His voice was low just like a father who tried to explain things to her daughter . Daniella was thankful for Scooby , her dog . She adored Scooby so much that the first thing she did while in HK was to shop for Scoobys things such as colorful leashes , clothes , and pet cones . Just shut your mouth up , will you ? She yelled at him before she unzipped her pants and pulled them down . Then , her blouse followed to the floor . Daniella hesitated to take off her underwear while his eyes were on her , but she reminded herself that it was not the right time to be shy . Now , stay and dont move . She ordered although it would be difficult for the man to move freely with the shrink wrap on his body . No , Dani . Lets do it the right way . Allow me to do it properly , he requested . What if you will escape from me , Marcus ? I wouldnt get another chance ! Escape from a goddess before him ? No way ! He was already mesmerized by her beauty , but when she started taking off her clothes , he knew he couldnt let another man do it with her . I will do it with you … in a better way . Set me free , Dani , he pleaded one more time , and when he saw the hesitation in her eyes , he knew he was winning . Im sorry but I am really desperate to do it , Marcus , she apologized for her mistake . I understand , Dani . Lets do it right , he told her again . What should I do ? Set me free first and I will guide you , he stated . Daniella agreed and set him free from the shrink wrap . She knew it was risky but she trusted his words . 17.4 % Chapter 17 Im hungry , he said . W what ? she asked in disbelief . Please order some food first , he ordered and when she hesitated to do it , he pointed to the telephone on the bedside table . Alright , she agreed , but at the same time , she wondered whats inside his head . She was talking on the phone when he decided to do it . He ordered a wide selection of delicious meals including a bottle of red wine . When he glanced at Daniella , she seemed to be displeased . Dont worry , I will pay for it , Dani . This will be our first date , he claimed but then his eyes were glued at the plumpness of her breast . Put on some clothes , first . Ill do the undressing later , he ordered and she gasped in embarrassment . She has probably forgotten about her nudity at the moment . When the hotel staff arrived with a tray of food , Daniellas body was covered with a simple dress . However , he knew that underneath that dress , she wore nothing else . She went commando but of course , she had no choice as there was a limited time to do that . Lets eat , he told her after setting the food on the table near the window . Earlier , Marcus opened the drapes so that they would have a view of the entire city . The skyline was a great background on their first date , and he enjoyed seeing her being uncomfortable in her seat . Relax , Dani , he told her , and then he chuckled because he managed to turn the situation to his advantage . Y yeah , thats right , she replied , while slicing a small bite of the juicy steak in front of her . Enjoy your food , Dani . You dont have to be comfortable , he reminded her to just relax while eating with him . A few minutes later , Marcus could tell that Dani was more nervous than ever . Everything went according to his plan . He just needed her to know who has the upper hand in the matter . Can we do it now ? Daniella asked right away after they had their wine but he just shook his head . Later , Dani . Lets watch a movie first , he said and then he grabbed her toward the bed where they could sit and watch the movie . Arent we wasting too much time already ? she complained . Dont worry. I will make it so memorable for you later , he assured her . Memorable , my foot ! 17.6 % Chapter 17 Then , his eyes widened as Daniella slowly took off her dress and there was no reservation in the way she stripped off her clothing . Marcus suspected that he wasnt the first man she would sleep with . The way she undressed herself in front of a man was clear proof that she did it several times already . Suddenly , Marcus was scared that she might have a sexually transmitted disease . Lets do it , Dani . Take your time , he told her . It will just frustrate us both , Marcus . Lets do it now , she insisted . What do you think youre doing ? he asked when she retrieved a scissor from the drawer . You promised to take these off after dinner , but you tried to delay everything , Marcus , she answered . Then , Daniella used the scissor to cut a hole near his zipper . It was only enough that she could unzip his pants , and let his manhood free . She shrieked when his erection sprang up from his boxers . He looked away when Daniella started to touch him . It was gentle and he hated his body for responding to her touch . Or should he say that he has responded to her idea of having him … even earlier ? You are rude …. and selfish ! He accused her when she suddenly pushed him . Then , he realized something important . He was stronger than Daniella and his hands were free . In a swift motion , he managed to change their position , and Daniellas eyes widened then the realization hit her that he was more powerful . Finally , she realized who has the upper hand . So , you like it rough , huh ? he asked , but her eyes were bewildered . Before she could respond , Marcus shifted their position once more , letting her on top of his body . He didnt let her go while he pulled down his pants , and took off his shirt . Her soft body was pressed on top of his until he was fully naked , and she gasped when she felt the hardness of his muscles . Marcus … wait , she said . Scared ? he asked . No , I am not scared but- He didnt let her finish talking and grabbed her face . Then , he conquered her lips in a ravishing kiss . He also sucked on her bottom lip because he couldnt help himself .
