Chapter 561 Crystal

Inside Harry's office, he and Jade assessed the young lady who had been found to impersonate Candace.

Her name was Crystal, she was twenty-seven years old, she had brown eyes, and although her hair wasn't as curly or gold as Candace's hair, she looked beautiful and was good enough to pass as Sara's daughter.

She was dressed in ripped jeans trousers and a blue t-shirt on which 'I Don't Suck Pussies' was written on the front. Jade found it funny, but Harry thought it was crude.

"So? What do you think?" Harry asked Jade, and she lifted a shoulder casually as he had noticed she usually did when she had something to say but didn't want to say it at the moment.

Jade looked at the lady instead, "How good is your acting skill?"

"It depends on how good the pay is. I could best Angelina Jolie at the right amount," she said with a confident shrug.

"The person you are going to meet is very deceptive herself. You can't make mistakes," Harry said, and the lady gave him a crooked smile.

"I con people for a living. Let me worry about her," she assured Harry, and Harry's gaze shifted to the man who had brought her and he gave Harry a confident nod.

"Alright then. I will get back to you. I will let you know when and where we will meet next again so we can all discuss the other details," Harry said as he and Jade saw them off to the door.

Once Harry and Jade were left in the office, Harry turned to Jade, "Any observations?" He asked after they both sat down.

"She doesn't suck pussies," Jade said with a grin, and Harry scowled.

"I can't understand how she could wear such an outfit to a formal meeting," Harry said with a shake of his head and Jade laughed softly.

"She seems wild. Sara deserves such a daughter. Let's just hope she doesn't try to con us," Jade said, and Harry nodded in agreement.

"That's why she will be signing a contract," Harry said, and Jade giggled.

"You are paying her to con somebody else and you want to bind your agreement legally?" She asked in amusement.

"For starters, I don't think it is wrong for a con artist to con a fellow con artist. And secondly, it's not exactly conning. She is going undercover...."

Jade tittered with laughter at that, "Undercover as Sara's daughter?" Jade asked, and Harry nodded.

"Yes, I don't see why not. I'm not asking her to steal from Sara or hurt her. All I want is to know exactly what Sara wants and expose her. That's not a crime," Harry said reasonably.

"Well, it is. But don't worry. I'm sure we can draft something up to keep her in check," Jade said and Harry gave her a thumbs up.

"I knew I could count on you. By the way, it seemed like you wanted to say something earlier when I asked what you think about her," Harry said, and Jade looked at him with an unreadable expression.

"What made you think that?"

"Well, you sort of have this thing you do with your shoulder when there's something on your mind but you don't want to say it," Harry said, and Jade shook her head.

"No, I don't," she said and Harry nodded.

"Yes, you do. You might not have taken note of it, but I have. Can you honestly say you didn't think anything when I asked you that question?" Harry asked, and Jade rolled her eyes.

"Well, I thought that making her pass as Candace isn't a problem since Sara has no idea what Candace looks like as an adult. I mean she only had the childhood picture. But what if Sara wants a DNA test?" Jade asked, and Harry raised a brow.

"Isn't that the easiest part? Candace can provide the blood for that," Harry said, and Jade considered it for a moment.

"That makes sense, but what if Sara decides to do it without her knowledge? I mean like take her hairbrush, toothbrush, or something?" Jade asked reasonably.

"That is the reason she would have to be the first to demand a DNA test. If she asks for it first, that would throw Sara off guard, don't you think? She wouldn't expect a con artist to request something like that, would she?" Harry asked, and this time Jade grinned.

"I see you've thought about it and covered all the bases," Jade said, and Harry nodded.

"I always do," Harry said and took Jade's hand.

"Speaking about covering bases, why haven't I kissed you today?" Harry asked as Harry rose and pulled her out of her seat making a tingle skitter up her spine.

"Because we are in the company I suppose?"

"Well, I don't see anyone here right now, do you?" Harry asked in a voice that was soft and smooth as silk as he pulled her to himself.

Jade swallowed as she got lost in his brown eyes, "Well, maybe you are not in the mood," Jade said as she licked her dry lips.

"I'm always in the mood to kiss you, esquire," Harry said in a husky voice as he took her lips which had parted in anticipation, and her mind went gloriously blank as her yearning for him blossomed inside her like an uncontrollable flame.

It seemed like no matter the number of times Harry kissed her, she could never get used to the knee-weakening effect of his lips on hers.

If she could read Harry's mind, she would realize that he felt the same way. Each time he kissed her felt like the first for him.

The kiss which Harry had meant to be simple and light was anything but that. It seemed like each time he kissed her his desire for her grew larger. It was like having a sip of your favorite drink and wanting to take repeated gulps.

​ He felt her body strain and tremble against his as she returned his kiss passionately, taking as much as she was giving with her hands buried in his hair since she didn't want to mess up his clothes.

Harry didn't dare to think about what he was doing or let the fact that they were in his office bother him as he let his tongue plunge between her lips and his hands moved to cup her boobs for the first time.

When she moaned, Harry felt his tight hold on control slip. Good God! He was losing control. It was as though an animal instinct was taking over him and he desperately wanted nothing more at that moment than to tear off her clothes and take her right there and then.

He needed to stop. He had to stop right now else he wouldn't be able to hold himself back anymore. Even if he was finally going to do something like this, it couldn't be this way. Not in this place. He didn't want his first experience, especially his first experience with Jade to be this way. Holding to that thought, he broke this kiss.

"Damn it, Jonas! I'm going to kill you if you stop right now!" Jade hissed, her blues eyes wild with passion, her lips red and swollen and her face flushed.

Harry rubbed his thumb over her lower lip, "You are too sexy for my good!" Harry said huskily as he turned away from her, needing to put some distance between them.

"You are evil and heartless," Jade hissed as she watched him go stand by the window with his back to her.

Harry chuckled without looking back at her, glad to know that he had almost as much effect on her as she had on him.

"It's because I have a heart that you're not going to walk out of here with ripped clothes," Harry said, and thanks to Jade's colorful imagination he didn't need to explain what he meant.

"I don't mind such wickedness. I could always leave through Tom's elevator or we could order some new clothes online and have them delivered to your office," Jade suggested as she sat on the edge of the table and struck a seductive pose.

Harry laughed, "We are not having this conversation, esquire. Maybe we can consider doing that in the future," Harry said as he turned to look at her when he felt he had his emotions in control once again and his hard-on had relaxed.

"In the future? Does that mean you don't mind having sex in your office?" Jade asked curiously.

"Am I supposed to?" Harry asked, and Jade grinned as she approached him slowly.

"I'm glad I quit my job. I'm so going to enjoy working here with you. I think I'm going to need to change my wardrobe and get more skirts and dresses for future purposes. You know, it makes the whole process easier and nothing gets in the way," Jade said with a wink as she stopped in front of him.

Harry shook his head in amusement, "I never imagined you would be this naughty."

"Is that a compliment?" Jade asked batting her lashes innocently as she used her thumb to clean off the lipstick stain around his lips.

"I'm not sure yet."

"Well, you will be soon enough. So about our vacation, you are coming with naughty Harry, right?" Jade asked hopefully as she played with his tie.

"Do I have to reconsider going on a vacation with you? Why do you keep making me feel like you can't wait to take my innocence?" Harry asked in amusement.

"Because I can't wait to be alone with you. I want us to get to know each other better. I want to explore your body as passionately as I explore your mind," Jade said with a flirty smile and Harry shook his head.

"That sounds like we reversed roles. I'm supposed to be the one saying something like that," Harry said, and Jade raised a brow.

"Do you have a problem with that?" Jade asked and Harry shook his head.

"I'm not sure I do. But your honesty is quite disturbing right now."

"I could lie. But you're the one who doesn't like games or being lied to. So you have to deal with the fact that apart from the fact that I am head over heels in love with you, I'm strongly attracted to you sexually. I didn't ask you to be so damn hot and sexy," Jade said, and Harry groaned when she embraced him, stirring his desire once again.

"You do something to me, esquire. I'm not quite sure I can explain it. But you make me feel all sorts of emotions," Harry said, and Jade pulled back to grin at him.

Her breath caught and she forgot what she had been about to say when she saw the desire in his gaze.

"Harry," She whispered, and he kissed her forehead.

"I love you, Jade Hank. Don't you dare doubt that or forget for a moment that I'm head over heels in love with you," Harry said, and Jade swallowed as her heart swelled with love for him and tears gathered in her eyes.

"I don't think I could ever get used to hearing you say that," Jade said as Harry wiped her tears.

"I don't think I want you to ever get used to it. I want your heart to flutter every time I say that."
