He leaned over her mouth. His sudden closeness made her bat her eyelashes and inhaled deeply. She knew he was about to kiss her when he came closer to her mouth and said.

"They are in good hands. Believe me."
She was about to say something when he cut her off by his lips over her mouth. Using his strong masculine arms he lifted her up and they were under the shower. She felt so self-conscious looking at the huge mirror in his shower.

She looked at this huge figure standing behind him with his eyes closed and sucking on her neck.

"Alex," Her voice trembled. 
"Hmm," was his response.

She turns to face him and said hurriedly. "We don't have to do anything. We will just be there to make sure that nothing goes wrong."

He looked at her blankly. "What the hell are you?" He cried in irritation.

She took a step forward, placing her right hand on his jawline, she lifted her heels to give a peck on his lips. He was still shocked when she whispered breathily on his lips.

"If you become a good husband and listen to your wife for a day. Then this wife will give his husband,...." she stopped and took her mouth to his earlobe as her ladyfinger traced his chest. "....a blowjob."

She looked at his eyes which couldn't be darker as he grabbed her a*s and caged her in his arms.

Inhaling deeply he whispered back. "This wife better keep her promise."

And the next thing Alex knew he was in front of Jamie's door. Jane was wearing a long black dress that was sleeveless and had a little deep cut in front. But it was nicely hidden under her fur coat. He too chose to wear a black suit with a white shirt underneath. A woman who looked like in her 60's opened the door.

"Welcome, Mr. Black," She greeted. Alex could really not recall if this woman was working at his place or not. Because Peterson is the in charge of this matter and he only interacts with Peterson.

Entering into the home they both could clearly hear little sobs. The woman led them to the living hall from where they both could see a four-year-old sobbing with her head down on the kitchen top.

Jane gave a look to Alex. Before Alex could say something that woman explained.

"Andrea is missing her parents. She is aware of her mother but She is scared for her daddy. She hasn't seen him from yesterday and believes something is wrong with him. I am afraid, Mr. Black but the girl hasn't eaten anything."

"But this is why you are here,...." He snapped but was cut off by the lady.

"Mr. Black, if you haven't noticed I am a stranger to this little girl. And I too was not aware either her father is alright or not. Nor I was informed until what time she has to wait. But still, I am trying my best to make her eat and converse with her."

"You don't talk to me like that," Alex was again cut off when Jane hugged the lady lightly and said with a smile,

"Thank you so much darling, we owe you,"

Jane signaled her to go and she left the scene. She was still going when Alex hissed under his breath.

"We don't owe her because we pay her." but retrieved a lifted brow from Jane.

"I know you are embarrassed that you give those kids to a complete stranger but this is not how you repent." She said and walked to the girl to took the seat beside her.

That girl lifted her head up and Jane saw a beautiful pair of black eyes that held fat tears. Her hair was long and curly. She was biracial. Jane passed her a light smile and that girl turned her head. But finding Alex standing on the other side she ran to him and hugged his leg, shouting. "Uncle Alex,"

Seeing that little bundle of joy bumbling towards Alex, her heart swelled with love. Andrea looked like the cutest thing in this world.

But the moment she saw Alex picked her up as he came towards the kitchen she could swear that she hasn't seen anything this heavenly. He looks so good with a kid sitting on his right arm. Irresistible. She thought.

"Is my father dead, Uncle Alex?" Andrea, asked and Jane came out of her trance.

Alex and Jane both looked at each other not knowing what to do.

"No, angel, he is not dead. Who told you this?" Alex asked quietly as he didn't want to scare that girl. He knows his aura scares people and kids alike.

"Ema's father was also at the hospital but then he went to God." She answered as more tears keep falling.

"No, no, no, he has some work. Your father works in a hospital. Right?" Alex asked as he makes her sit on the stool.

"Yes," she said and then pouted.

"So, there are people who need help. And when his work will finish. He will be home with you and Sarah." Alex said and looked at Jane like he was looking at her for her approval that he is doing fine.

She shook her head in disbelief as she opened the fridge to look for some things that she can use to make lunch.

Andrea still look lost when Alex suggested. "What about we call your father and you talk to him?"

Her face lights up like a Christmas tree as she said.

"That would be so nice of you."

Her reaction made both Jane and Alex broke into a laugh. Alex made a call and after telling Jammy that they are here, he passed the cell phone to little Andrea. Taking the cellphone from him, she walks to the other side of the room.

"You shouldn't have lied. Her father will come with a huge plaster and she will remember you as a liar." Jane told him as she hanged her coat and fasten an apron around her.

Alex, looked at her in shock with his jaw dropped to the floor. "At least, I did something. I wasn't the one who looked lost and didn't know what to do."

"I am a stranger to her. And apparently, unlike you expected she is familiar to you. It was your duty to come up with something." She whispered the words as she saw that Andrea was coming back to them.

"Thank you, Uncle Alex. My dad, is fine. He said he will be home tomorrow." Andrea said while offering his phone back and then she turned to Jane and said with a smile.
