All I Want

Paige's eyes drifted round the room and rested on a picture of young Simon with his father.

"You look just like your father." She complimented with a wide smile while pointing at the picture.

"Thank you, but I'm afraid my father might be a much more better man than I am." He replied.

Paige chuckled, trying to think of what Kentley Senior would say about his son asking a full grown woman to be his fuck mate. Her thoughts were interrupted by Simon who took her feet again and this time without warning, sucked on her toes allowing her no time to escape.

"Mhmm," a little moan escaped her lips before she could hold back

He didn't stop there. He caressed her heel and the skin in-between her toes with his free hand.

"Lavender." he said out loud. "That's the name of your scent. I've been trying to place it for a while now." He said finally releasing his hold on her feet and keeping it back on the floor.

He knelt in between her legs almost immediately.

"I have something for you, a gift." He said.

On hearing this Paige's eyes widened in anticipation. He smiled and dipped a hand into his pant pocket bringing out a mini jewelry box.

"It's an earring, I figured you might want to wear it tomorrow. It will be perfect on your skin." He said and handed the box to her.

A surprised Paige accepted the box with shaky hands. She opened it and tiny diamond stones sparkled under the light source in the room.

"This is so beautiful." She whispered. "Are these.... are these diamon..." She couldn't get herself to complete the words and when Simon nodded, she let out a gasp.

She has never owned a precious stone all her life. So having a diamond jewelry as a gift felt surreal.

"Are you sure about this?" She asked, still finding it hard to believe that he would gift her a diamond for no reason at all.

"It's all yours Sunflower." Simon replied with a smile.

"Thank you so much." She said in a whisper and closed the box carefully with shaky hands.

"You are welcome. Now let's see you off to your room." He said standing up.

He helped her up and saw her off to her room. Once they got to her room door, he stopped and watched her step inside the room.

"Sunflower." he called, gaining her attention. "I've cleared the debt with the BFL Group. I've done my part and I hope you will be kind enough to consider my offer. That is all I want from you." He smiled and left for his room.

The morning was cold. There was no sign of rain but the weather was gloomy and rather angry with not so audible thunder rumbles every now and then. Nobody in the Kentley's Mansion dared leave the house in such a bad weather.

That morning the Kentley's exquisite dinning room was graced by three members of f the Kentley family and their guest, Paige.

Paige wrapped herself in a thick royal blue hand woven sweater with a colour matched cotton pants. She was the only heavily dressed person at the table.

"I guess you don't do too well with cold weather?" Emily asked Paige breaking the silence in the room.

Paige looked up from her food, and shook her head in agreement.

"No, I don't." She replied with a soft smile. "I catch cold easily. So I endeavor to cover up."

"Why are you eating that, I thought you never liked turkey?" Anna asked Emily surprised.

Emily who was having a breakfast of skinless Turkey breast, vegetable and skim milk shrugged her shoulders.

"Paige drafted out a meal plan for me and I've been following it religiously since two weeks ago." She replied. "Do you know that I rarely take my meds these days, my blood pressure is so great and I haven't felt any of those strong throbbing headaches for a while now." She confessed.

"Oh wow!!" Anna exclaimed. "Thank you so much Paige, this means a lot to me personally. I haven't seen Emily this cheerful and all girly in a while." She touched Paige's arm slightly in appreciation while Paige replied with a beautiful smile.

Paige turned to Simon and instantly regretted doing so. Simon Kentley kept staring at her non-stop with an expressionless face.

"The stylists are coming to the house by noon." Anna announced trying to ease the awkward friction between Simon and Paige.

"That's great, especially the timing. That will give them enough time to style each of us. I need to look very presentable for my first official appearance after a long time away. I wouldn't want the Hamptons thinking that Morrison's wife isn't as gorgeous as she use to be." Emily said smiling excitedly. This made everybody at table smile.

"What's your plan for today, brother?" Anna asked after a while but only got a shrug from Simon.

"Are you attending your sister's engagement party?

"Are you planning on being absent?" Emily asked with a stern face.

"I plan on attending mum." Simon replied staring at Paige.

Earlier Paige had noticed that Simon was the only person in the family that refer to Emily as mum. The Kentley sisters call her by her name and she often wondered why.

"Hopefully I will have someone to keep me company." Simon added interrupting Paige's thoughts.

She stared back at him and he flashed his most charming smile that only succeeded in melting her whole heart.

"There are a few things that I need to finish upstairs before we visit the Hamptons." He continued and excused himself from the table. "I'll finish up quickly mum." He told his mother after planting a kiss on her forehead.

"You do that." Emily replied.

Paige watched him leave the dinning room. She fixed her gaze on the man, drooling over him as he walked to the door. She watched him open the dining room door with his strong, slender fingers.

If Paige was ever asked to describe Simon's body, she would call it exceptional.

As she watched him open the door, she saw the strength in those hands and suddenly longed to be held by them.
