David’s large hand cupped Rachel in between her legs and she shivered to his touch. He rubbed a slender finger in between her legs and he could feel that she was getting just as aroused as he was as Rachel began to moisten.
“Ah,” Rachel let out a strangled moan. Looking up at her face, David smirked when he noticed that she looked incredibly nervous, she was a virgin after all. After a few moments of rubbing her, David moved the cloth to the side and began fingering her. “Ah!” Rachel’s moan was louder that time. David raised up then and unbuckled and unzipped his pants. He never got fully nude when he slept with a woman; he thought that was too intimate. He reached his hand inside of his pants and pulled his engorged cock out. Rachel opened her eyes to take a peek at what David was doing, but she immediately closed them when she saw his length. She’d eventually get used to seeing a man so intimately.
“I’m going to put it in soon,” Rachel heard David say as she heard foil ripping open and felt David moving around her. She simply nodded her head and waited for David to take her virginity. David wanted to be rough, to pound her so hard into the couch that she wouldn’t be able to walk for a week. But apparently David had some bit of humanity left in his cold body. David entered Rachel slowly, but he planted himself deep inside of her despite the fact that she clenched and unclenched her walls in pain. David paused, giving her a few seconds to catch her breath and as soon as she eased around him, he began moving.
“Ah! Ah!” Rachel moaned and wrapped her arms around David’s neck.
“There you go, take my cock.” David whispered and Rachel’s blush deepened. She wasn’t expecting to hear such lewd words from a man as kind and gentle as David. “You like that?”
“Yes… yes!” Rachel said embarrassed by the sound of her own voice. She expected her first time to be painful and horrible. This… this pleasure that she was feeling was unbelievable. It started off uncomfortable, but the longer it lasted, the better she felt. “Oh god,” Rachel moaned and placed her arm over her face. Rachel was sure that she was as red as a beat and she didn’t want David to see her like that. David chuckled and began moving quicker inside of Rachel finding her g-spot quickly. As his length constantly brushed against Rachel’s spot, she felt overwhelmed by a feeling that she’d never felt before. She wanted David to stop, but she couldn’t find the words.
“You’re going to make me come,” David said and gritted his teeth as his groans became more frequent.
“St…” Rachel barely got out her word before her head began spinning and she started seeing white. Unconsciously, Rachel’s hips started rising and taking David’s pumps and a scream erupted from her so loud that she couldn’t believe that it was her that was screaming. After witnessing Rachel’s orgasm, David was pushed over the edge and he came with a deep growl. When all was said and done, Rachel lost consciousness and her soft breathing could be heard in the dark room.
“Humph,” David grunted with a smirk on his face. He was proud of his accomplishment, taking a virgin who wanted so badly to wait till they were married before they had sex was thrilling to him.
“She lacks experience, but I guess I can accept that for now.” David pulled out of her and stood to his feet. A decent man would have carried her into the bedroom and put her to bed, or drape a blanket over her. David wasn’t that kind of man though. David left her bare, uncovered, and in an awkward position as he made his way to the bathroom to clean up.
Chapter Twelve
Daniel sat at Georgiana’s again alone, enjoying his lunch break and reflecting on what was happening with work and in his life.
“It’s been a crazy few weeks,” Daniel murmured as he took a sip of his coffee. Work was going smoothly with his people taking care of the animals on the ranch to the best of their abilities. He hasn’t had to write anyone up or even issue a warning to anyone these last few weeks. “That’s all and dandy, but my personal life is a bit of a downer.” A month ago, Daniel’s and David’s father dropped a bomb on them that Daniel couldn’t believe. Whoever was the first to get married and bare Jeffery a grandchild would inherit the family business. Daniel shook his head still bewildered by that. Being the type of man that didn’t like to lose, David decided to go out and buy a mail order bride. If that wasn’t crazy enough, Rachel turned out to be a lovely young lady and Daniel couldn’t believe that her charm had him hooked.
“Here is your lunch sir,” the waiter said placing his burrito with a special Mexican dip in front of him.
“Thank you so much,” Daniel said giving the waiter a small smile. After the waiter had departed, Daniel lost himself in thought again. It really sucks that a woman like that has to be fooled into being with David. Rachel has been with David for two weeks and even though David appears happy when he brings her around, Daniel knew that it was all a facade to fool their father. “He’s going to leave her as soon as the company is his,” Daniel shook his head and took a bite out of his burrito. Daniel’s seen Rachel a few times around the office and when she saw him she always smiled and greeted him. Daniel wanted so very badly to tell her of his brother’s plans, how David’s using her for the family business and that he didn’t truly care about her, but he couldn’t. The woman was clearly smitten with David and would not believe Daniel if he told her out of the kindness of his heart.
“Daniel?” Daniel looked up when he heard the sound of a gentle woman’s voice and he was surprised to see Rachel standing in front of him!
“Rachel,” Daniel stuttered and mentally kicked himself for being so excited. He composed himself and stood up to shake her hand. “Wow, I’m surprised to see you here alone.” Rachel looked as beautiful as ever wearing her signature bright sundress with a shawl wrapped around her head to keep the sun off of her. Rachel gave Daniel a small smile and blushed.
“I’ve heard a lot of rumors about how good this place’s food is. I asked David to come along with me, but he was too busy with his work so he couldn’t accompany me this time. I don’t have many friends here yet, but I’m glad that I’ve run into you. May I join you?” Daniel quickly walked over to the empty seat in front of him and held the chair out for Rachel.
“Oh, of course,” Daniel said and Rachel gracefully sat down in the chair and thanked Daniel for his kindness. “Don’t mention it.” Daniel said and called over the waiter. After the waiter gave Rachel the menu, he gave her a few minutes to decide on what she wanted to eat.
“All of this looks so good. What would you recommend, Daniel?” Rachel asked and when her big green eyes landed on Daniel’s honey ones, his heart melted. She is so beautiful, Daniel thought to himself.
“The quesadillas are to die for. I know that women really stress over their figures, I haven’t had any of the salads, but if you enjoy eating them I’m sure they’ll be to your liken.” Daniel said and flashed Rachel a big smile. Rachel really liked Daniel’s company. She wasn’t drawn to him like she was drawn to David, but she could tell that Daniel was a great man.
“Yes, I do occasionally stress over my figure, but I think I can cheat this one time.” Rachel said and politely called the waiter back over. She had order a chicken quesadilla with a glass of tea. Normally Daniel would have woofed down his food, but this time he wanted to enjoy Rachel’s presence. It’s been a while since he’d been on a date, not like this was a date or anything like that, but he was going to give Rachel his undivided attention.
“If you don’t mind me asking, I do have a personal question to ask you?” Rachel’s perfectly arched eyebrow went up at that, but she still had that same pleasant smile on her face.
“Please ask away. I’d love to get to know David’s family better.” Daniel frowned at the mention of his brother’s name. He knew that this question was going to be bold because Daniel was pretty sure that David hadn’t told her that Daniel knew that they met through a mail order bride agency, but he really needed to know.
“Sorry if I appear to be intrusive, but I really would love to hear what made you decide to be a mail order b
ride?” Daniel whispered his question and Rachel’s hands shot up to her mouth.
“Oh my god, how did you find out about that? Does your father know? I told David that I wouldn’t tell anyone about how we truly got into contact with each other.” Daniel shook his head quickly and tried to calm Rachel down.
“Please calm down. I found out by chance and no my father doesn’t know and I won’t tell him because it’s not my secret, it’s yours.” Rachel visibly relaxed then and sighed in relief.
“Thank you so much,” Rachel said and a small frown darkened her lovely features. “My father, unfortunately, passed away and he was the only family that I had. I didn’t work or anything and I don’t particularly have any impressive skills and even though I have a degree I wasn’t getting any job offers. So when a friend of mines told me that she had signed up with a mail order bride agency and that she was going to get married, I thought I’d try my hands at it. My father wasn’t a wealthy man and the money he left behind was quickly running out. I didn’t want to become homeless and I felt like this was my last resort.” Daniel listened to Rachel speak and he felt bad for initially thinking anyone who signed up to be a mail order bride was prostituting themselves. Rachel was a victim of circumstances. She was willing to become a companion for someone so that she could live in exchange for her hand in marriage.
“I’m so sorry that happened to you,” Daniel said reaching over to place his hand on top of Rachel’s. She jumped at his touch, but Rachel didn’t pull away her hand. “I have another question for you if you do not mind?” Daniel paused when the waiter brought Rachel her food.
“Please, don’t feel like your questions are a burden.” Rachel said and gave him her brilliant white smile again. Daniel took in a quick breath and then looked at his food; I can’t let a sweet woman like her get heartbroken.
“How do you feel about my brother?” Daniel believed that he already knew the answer to that question because Rachel’s eyes lit up at the mere mention of David.
“Daniel, your brother is definitely a breath of fresh air! I was skeptical about the whole thing when we first started emailing each other. When we finally met face to face those short few weeks ago, it was love at first sight! I couldn’t imagine ever meeting someone as charming and selfless as your brother.” What Rachel told Daniel wounded his heart. The man that Rachel described was definitely not Daniel’s real brother. The man she saw was an actor in a performance that cast him as the main character. The real David Marshalls was nothing like that.
“I need to tell you something, Rachel. I must tell you this because you are too lovely of a lady to have to endure the pain that you’d eventually receive.” Daniel said and Rachel’s eyes widened and she placed her fork back down on the plate.
“Daniel, what are you talking about?” Rachel asked and Daniel sighed. He hated that he was going to break such horrible news to Rachel and he hated the fact that he was going to cause her even more pain. But Daniel told her. Daniel told her of his father’s little competition that he’s hosting for Daniel and David. He told her what the requirements were for obtaining Jeffery’s company after he passes on. Daniel told Rachel that his brother never wanted to marry anyone that he enjoyed messing around with women but he never classified any of them as girlfriends. Daniel told Rachel who the real David Marshalls was.
“I’m sorry. I know that all of this sounds unreal, but it’s the truth and I have no reason to lie to you.” Daniel thought Rachel was going to slap him from the way that she was looking. Daniel couldn’t tell if Rachel believed him or not. One moment she’d open her mouth like she was attempting to speak and the next moment she was closing it again. Does she hate me now? Daniel wondered to himself. Should Daniel have just minded his business and allowed Rachel to ultimately get hurt, or was it a good thing that he stepped up?
“I knew it,” Rachel said looking down at her food. That was definitely not the response Daniel expected. He was starting to expect warm tea splattering in his face. “It was too good to be true. David was just too perfect that everything he said almost felt staged.” Rachel looked up at Daniel with tears fresh in her eyes. “Thank you! Thank you so much for not letting me experience this humiliation for another moment.” At hearing Rachel’s gratitude, Daniel felt an enormous weight lifted from his shoulders.
Chapter Thirteen
Rachel took Daniel’s arm in her hands as she led him through the corridors of the office building. Daniel was surprised by Rachel’s strength despite the pain that she was surely feeling at that moment. Daniel remained silent until they were outside of his father’s office.
“Why are we here?” Daniel asked surprised. Daniel thought that Rachel was going to march to David’s office and confront him, so appearing at his father’s door instead was definitely shocking.
“I can’t really confront David about this because he could easily lie,” Rachel said and hesitated before knocking on Jeffery’s door. It wasn’t that Rachel didn’t believe Daniel, she just wanted to get confirmation from the man who started this whole thing, Jeffery Marshalls. “I want to hear it from your father’s lips. I want to hear it from the man that has the two of you competing for his company.”
“That is… a really good idea.” Daniel had to admit. He knew the girl was intelligent, but he didn’t know that she was this sharp.
“Come in,” Rachel turned the doorknob at the sound of Jeffery’s voice. Jeffery’s eyes widen in delight when he saw Rachel walking in; however, he arched his brow when he saw Daniel, and not David, accompanying her. “Well it’s a surprise to see you two here. How can I help the both of you?” Jeffery asked and Rachel finally let go of Daniel’s arm.
“I’m so sorry to disturb you at work, but I just had a quick question to ask you. Is it true that you told David and Daniel that whoever marries first and bares you a grandchild would inherit your company?” Rachel already knew the answer to that question before Jeffery confirmed it. The way his eyes widened in shock told on her. Jeffery’s eyes went towards Daniel’s before he answered that question.
“Ah, so I see Daniel’s told you about that. Yes it’s true, and I guess since the two of you are in my office, you believe that David’s only dating you in attempts to get you to marry him. Am I correct?” Rachel blushed, but she nodded her head.
“I have a confession,” Rachel began and lowered her eyes to the ground. “David and I haven’t really been dating. I met him through a mail order bride agency and up until a few weeks ago, I didn’t even know him. We were supposed to get married anyways, but as soon as I laid eyes on him, it was love at first sight for me. David ask me to tell you that we met in a park so that you wouldn’t disown him. I see now that was only a ploy so that he could win by default.” Jeffery was up to his feet instantly and slammed his fists onto his table.
“Damn it! I knew he was full of it!” Jeffery yelled. He thought that David was trying to pull one over on him, but when he saw how he interacted with Rachel, he believed that his son had changed in his ways because he met someone who completed him. “Tsk, I don’t know why I thought a man who fooled around in his office and break a female’s heart so close to the time he was ‘supposedly’ with you would change his ways” Jeffery shook his head. The way that Rachel was looking at him told Jeffery that his ‘brotherly’ competition might have been too harsh on the boys. Jeffery wanted whoever placed in charge to make it a real family business, not a bought one.
“I’m sorry,” Daniel said looking at his father, “But I needed to tell her. I didn’t want such a great woman to be led on the way that David was leading her on.” Jeffery nodded his head in agreement. He loved David, but Rachel was far too lovely to be taken advantage of like that.
“So what will you do now?” Jeffery asked raising his eyebrow. Rachel appeared to have been at a loss for words.
“Well, I definitely won’t be able to marry him like this. He doesn’t truly care for me and I hated the way he was going to trick you into giving him the company.” Rac
hel said. Daniel grabbed her hand in his and stared her straight in the eyes.
“Whatever you do, I will definitely be here to support you.” Rachel’s eyes glistened with unshed tears because unlike David, she knew for a fact that Daniel’s words were true.
“So will I,” Jeffery chimed in. “I will help you with everything so don’t you worry about a thing,” Rachel smiled at this. She was happy that someone genuinely cared for her and was willing to come to her aid even though they were going against their very own kin.
“Thank you,” Rachel said and her tears spilled from her eyes.

“I love you,” Daniel moaned as his hips thrusted into Rachel nice and slow. The newlyweds writhed in pleasure on the warm beach of their private honeymoon spot in Hawaii. Rachel was embarrassed that they were making love in public, but this was private property and no one would be able to access this part of the beach anyway.
“I love you… too,” Rachel moaned into Daniel’s hungry mouth. It’s been several months since everything went south with David. After Daniel and Jeffery told Rachel what David was plotting, she immediately ended their engagement and left David’s residence. David tried his hardest to convince Rachel that his brother and father were lying, but she was hearing none of that. Jeffery and Daniel intervened and put David on the spot and after losing the battle between his father and brother, David up and quit the company.
