2021-05-11 01:53:23Penny listened to Jeremy with a deepening perplexity. Why was he being so condescending, so superior? Was he trying to bring Joey down in front of her? Was he just so jealous?
The thoughts raced through her mind as she listened, with scant attention to their voices.
"What are you planning to do when you leave your present job? Penny tells me you say you want to do something else."
That was Joey's voice, carefully polite.
"Oh i haven't made up my mind yet" Jeremy replied. "I have had several fairly good offers to join various friends in business, but I want something really worth while. I don't fancy living on a thousand a month"
"A thousand a month!" Joey raised his brows. "I should think that pretty good for a start. I wouldn't sniff at it. It's just something you start with"
"It's not much good to anyone with ambition" Jeremy said carelessly.&nb

"Penny is going to have a baby" Audrey blurted out suddenly. "Jeremy's baby... Of course"Joey swung around. He looked suddenly furious."Then he'd better marry her quickly" he said."Penny hoped that a home life would teach Jeremy not to be so afraid of being tied down" Audrey said flatly. "I'm afraid she hasn't succeeded. Obviously the man isn't even ready to settle"Joey gripped his sister's arm. She felt his fingers biting into her flesh."You mean he won't marry her?" he asked incredulously.Audrey released her arm from his grip. "I don't know Joey" she said. Penny hasn't told him yet. She was going to tell him tonight. I hope that's what she's telling him right now because if she doesn't I will "Joey sat down heavily in the nearest chair and thought about Penny. He hadn't known the woman for long, and yet he felt so strongl

With half her mind, Audrey agreed, but the other strictly feminine side, realized that this would mean several days of indecision for Penny while she lay wondering how Jeremy would accept the news that she was going to have his child as she had made it clear to Audrey that she didn't want to tell Jeremy about the baby over the phone."Well, it's up to you, doctor" Audrey said at last and seeing that Joey's mind was made-up, she left the room to go call Jeremy.Jeremy took the news of Penny's rising temperatures with some concern, but he did not attempt to persuade Audrey to let him come over that evening."I'm frightfully bad in the sick room" he admitted frankly. "Always so damn healthy myself, i never know what to say or do. I know you will look after her well""We will. Joey, of course knows the ropes. Can I give her a message from you?" Audrey asked him."All my love" Jeremy sa

It was fully five minutes before she remembered that Jeremy had told her that he would stay at his club with some friends while she was away. The relief that followed this recollection attacked her physically. She wept and then laughed and felt the well remembered nausea creeping over her. For once she did not mind... Now that she remembered why Jeremy was not in the house.When she recovered, she picked up her phone and called him. He didn't pick up so she called his office. His assistant told her that he had just left the office but couldn't tell her where Jeremy had gone.Penny hung up, wondering. Jeremy did not expect her until tomorrow. It seemed unlikely that he would return to the flat at six o'clock. Usually he arrived back around seven. He must be at his club then.She called his club and was told that Jeremy was dining at the Savoy. Hating herself for being suspicious, Penny asked, "Was he alone when he l

She bit her lip. She must control herself somehow.. Try to think things out. Perhaps the girl in white was just a friend. Jeremy must have had a number of girlfriends before he met her. It was unreasonable to expect him to give up all of them just because he was engaged. That was the sort of tie he hated...A ray of hope entered Penny's mind. She tried feverishly to enlarge upon it to convince herself that this all meant nothing. Obviously, Jeremy would not want to dine alone. It was stupid of her not to have thought of that. She knew he hated being by himself so he would never spend a solitary evening at the Savoy. And the girl? She was probably the wife or girlfriend of some friend of his... In town for the night. Maybe she had called Jeremy, and he knowing his Penny was not returning until the next day, would have welcomed the opportunity of a companion. If only she had joined them at the table instead of running away in that absurdly childish fashion, he wou

Jeremy drew her back beside him with superior strength."Now calm down, darling" he said easily. "I am very grateful to him for taking care of you but I can help being a little jealous, can I?"Penny looked at him, her temper and animosity melting."Jealous? Of Joey? Oh Jeremy, darling, have you been jealous?" she asked."What do you think?" Jeremy asked, burying his face against her hair sniffing behind her ear in that well mannered way. "Mmmm, you smell good"She was ready to fall into his arms but she must know first... About the girl in white."Jeremy?""Mmm?""Who was the 'old friend'. I'm not really being inquisitive and of course I know it isn't really any of my business, but I love you so much I want to know all about you... Everything. Please satisfy my curiosity"Jeremy crushed his cigarette and drew away from her, p

"Poor sweet" he murmured. "Letting yourself get worked up about my father's secretary. It makes me laugh to think about it""She looked very attractive" Penny said."Oh, she's pretty but frantically dumb. She really bores me stiff"But she made you smile, Jeremy, she thought."It must be a big thrill for her going out with the boss's son""Well, that is really the reason I took her out. Father said she led a frightfully dull life and never went anywhere so I said I would give her a night out if I had time. As a matter of fact, darling, we spent most of the evening talking about you"Did you? Was that what made you both laugh? Penny wondered."I expect she was very disappointed when she heard you were engaged" Penny said."Oh, I don't think she cared" Jeremy said lightly. "She's married, you know"

Aunt Ann had called Penny at lunch time, her voice trembling a little with anxiety in spite of her courageous attempt to withhold her fear from Penny."I thought you would want to be with your uncle at such a time. Will you be able to come?""Of course, aunt Ann. I'm terribly sorry. You mustn't worry too much. Uncle had one of these seizures before, didn't he? And he has been perfectly all right since" Penny said.Yes I know dear, but your uncle is quite a few years older now.Aunt Ann's voice trailed away into silence before she rallied with one of her clichés."All good has an end but the goodness of God. We must trust in him, dear""Is it as bad as that?" Penny asked, her heart sinking."I'm afraid it's pretty serious" her aunt replied. I need to hang up now, and see you soon ""Yes, I will come right away" Penny said, hanging up you.

"Trouble aways comes in threes" aunt Ann said tactlessly and with a worried frown. "I wonder what the next one will be?"'My baby' Penny thought with a twisted smile.She spent the afternoon in a fever of impatience. The hours dragged themselves away and everytime she gazed at her watch, she was certain that the hands had not moved since last she looked at it. By five o'clock she knew she could not wait another moment.She went outside to call Jeremy herself. When he finally picked up the call, Penny breathed deeply."Hey," she said. "I'm sorry I couldn't wait for you to call. I know you said you would call me but I'm kinda worried. What's going on? Is something wrong?"Jeremy hesitated, before he said, "Yes. I mean.... It's not such a big deal but it's still a big deal""Just tell me, Jeremy, please" Penny begged."Okay, babe, I'm being

She leaned back and looked up at him. "I can't believe I'm standing here like this" Penny said."Like what?" Joey asked."half naked in your kitchen" she replied simply.Joey laughed. "You could always take off my shirt""No way. The lights are on"He paused, then began to unbutton the shirt.She grabbed his hands. "What are you doing?""Taking back my shirt" Joey replied, like what he was going was very normal. Like he had been doing it for a long time."You have on jeans. You don't need this shirt as badly as I do"He slid his hands to her wrists and pulled her fingers away. When she tried to pull free, he wouldn't let go."Joey" she said with a warning in her voice.He switched tactics and started at her neck, moving his mouth over her soft skin. He cou

Penny groaned, the sound low and desperate. Holding her by the hips to keep her steady, Joey tilted her closer, right where he wanted her, and explored her pretty, slick folds with his mouth. As he’d expected, she nearly buckled at the sensation, but he kept her steady, completely in control. And he didn’t relent, just kept pleasuring her until he heard her cry out her climax a few moments later.“Beautiful,” he murmured against her thigh, watching as she shook from the power of it.He let go of her hips. She stretched again, easing this way and that, her body warm and pliant and, he would suspect, still pulsing from her powerful orgasm.He had wanted to go very, very, slow, but right now, Joey wanted to share the moment, to be part of her deep pleasure. So he pushed his boxer shorts down, not even kicking them all the way off. Using his teeth to tear open one of the condoms he’d

Penny breathed a sigh of relief. She was so grateful to Audrey. "Thank you, Audrey. I honestly don't know what I would do without you. You are a blessing. Good night dear""Good night" Audrey replied and they hung up.When Penny turned around, it was to see Joey resting on the wall, watching her. He'd put on his boxers, Penny noticed. Good for her, she thought. She stood right where she was when he pushed himself from the wall and walked towards her."See, I told you Audrey's got this. You worry too much" he said, and as he did, he slipped a hand behind her and pulled her towards him, crushing her breasts to his hard chest."I'm sorry.... I just had to be sure that everything was fine" Penny said softly, wrapping her hands around his neck and clinging to him. He obviously wanted her to cling, because his hold on her tightened and his other her grabbed her butt.&n

That realization seemed to make him grow even more engorged against her, and he threw his head back, the cords of muscle standing out in his neck.Penny wasn’t entirely sure how far this kind of thing could go. She didn't know if he was close to cumming. Nor was she selfless enough to give up truly having him inside her. But she did like it. A lot. She especially liked that he was visibly losing a little of that infamous control, his hands clenched tightly in her hair, his breath coming in short gasps.“Gotta have the real thing, babe,” he muttered, dropping his hand to her shoulders and pushing her onto her back.“I wish you would,” she whispered, wanting him desperately.But instead of pushing her farther back on the bed and climbing on top of her, Joey went to the drawer and got a condom, then returned to stand between her parted thighs. He ope

His hand moved slowly.... Determined..... Straight inside her blouse from the bottom and then upwards. His big hand cupped her left breast and squeezed gently.Penny gasped in surprise when he did that. It was weird because she'd been expecting his touch. Waiting... And looking forward to it actually. But when his thumb and index finger found her nipple and squeezed, she moaned and her hands snaked around his neck, pulling his head down towards hers.Despite the lack of light, Joey's lips found hers with undeniable precision. Like his body, their warmth coaxed out a desire in Penny that she’d been trying to keep at bay, but it only kept growing stronger and stronger.Joey broke the kiss and moved back.“Sorry,” he started, voice suddenly very low. “I—I know what happened the last time we....I'm”Penny pushed her body forward, hand o

Penny loved every inch of the house. And as he showed her around, she understood more why he loved it. A home for a family... As he had said. She wanted the same thing too....she always had. There was a time when that dream included Jeremy.... Not anymore. Right now, she could almost picture herself, Joey and Howard being a real family. Maybe with two other babies... Maybe twins. She loved twins. Always hoped she'd have them someday. Once she heard the twins were never born to women who wanted them, but that was probably another old wives tale, she thought.Joey's voice snapped her back to reality."Thank you for coming, Penny" he was saying, "You have no idea how much I have missed you. Missed hanging out with you""I have missed you too. Howard too. The house is really not the same without you" Penny replied softly, and seeing the way his eyes darkened with desire as he stared at her, she moved away a

Penny opened her mouth but no words came out. She wasn't sure why. Maybe it was because for the first time since she met Joey she'd never seen him look so angry. Or because she had just heard him use those swear words that way. Or maybe because of his plain admission of his attraction towards her. Or maybe it was all of it.She didn't know. Didn't want to care. She could feel her body start to react to him being so close to her, but she fought to concentrate. No matter what happened, she had to remember that she was still really angry with him."You can't blame me for all that, Joey" she said, trying to make him understand, "I had a bad break up with Jeremy and I .....""I'm not Jeremy...." Joey said a little harshly, his fingers digging into her arm."I know you are not, jerk" Penny replied. For some reason she felt her voice crack. Oh no. She wasn't going to cry. She shouldn't cry
BREAKING POINT Chapter Sixty Eight
What if she and Joey got together and something happened and they had to break up. Audrey would obviously have to be on her brothers side. As she should be, Penny thought truthfully. She couldn't bear to come between two wonderful siblings. And if that happened, their friendship and relationship would be ruined. Penny didn't want that. But it didn't matter now, obviously. Because Joey was leaving, and he didn't even bother to say anything about it to her, and maybe soon she'd get her own place and leave with her baby. He'd obviously given up the idea of them being together, because now he was moving on. And she couldn't blame him. He'd gone through a lot with her. Stayed with her and loved her even when she didn't return his feelings. She had rejected him so many times and now he he'd finally let her go. It was all her fault. Penny knew that, but it didn't stop her from being mad at him. He should have at least told h

Joey's hands slowed. He didn’t even lift the plate that was now perfectly clean under those soap suds. Penny's voice was so quiet now it was almost a whisper. "Joey? Do you understand?" she asked. Joey swallowed hard. Then he turned to face her, his hands dripping water as his eyes met hers. He looked.... Mad. "I understand, Penny" he said huskily. His hands made a fist, like he was willing them not to reach for her and grab her, then he brushed past her and out of the kitchen. ------------------ "Is everything okay with you Audrey" Penny asked Audrey as she joined her in the living room after putting away the dishes Joey had left behind. Audrey looked up from her phone and stared at Penny, "I'm fine. Everything is fine. Why do you ask that?" she replied. Penny took a seat beside Audrey. "You have been coming hom
