Elaine.

Once I was done showing, I applied some lotion and got dressed in a summery blue gown. I planned to drop Finn off at school on our way to the airport. He'd woken up already and I could hear the tap running in his bathroom, Cora singing as she bathed him. Poor boy. He'd be gutted to see her leave.

Padding down the stairs, I picked my phone back up and placed a dial across to Mom. She picked up on the first ring, much to my surprise.

“Elaine?” she sounded somewhat shocked, which was understandable. “Oh my God. What's wrong? Did something happen to Finn?”

I snorted and rolled my eyes. “Well, Good morning, Mom.”

“I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Good morning. Is my grandson okay?”

I blew out a sigh, exasperated already. “Yes, he's fine. He's doing great. Sorry that I'm calling so early. There's an emergency.”

“Oh, God, Elaine. Stop apologizing, you've done nothing wrong. And you know that you can call me whenever you like. It doesn't have to be whenever... you're in trouble.”

I knew I was go

    I spent most of the day cleaning up and doing the laundry, then I made lunch, showered, and went to bring Finn home from school. Max hadn’t called or texted yet to show that he’d received my message, and I wondered if Margaret delivered it at all.“Where’s Aunt Cora, Mummy?” Finn asked as we waved goodbye to Mr. Burns, his classroom tutor. I’d been dreading the question all day. Cora was his best friend and he’d be bored without her.“Sweetie, Aunt Cora’s traveled back to Manhattan for an emergency. She sends her greetings and promises to be back next week. Don’t worry, you’ll have Ma to look after you.”“Yippee!” he threw his hands up in glee, bubbling with excitement. “Will she bring Wren along too? And Chester?”I gaped at him, puzzled for a minute. Then I remembered Ma’s grandchildren. “Oh, yes! They’ll be coming along as well. Do you like having them over?”“Yes, Mommy.”After I’d helped him with his homework, we both had a nap. By five, I went down to make dinner while Finn was

    I caught sight of Max's Aston Martini parked underneath the same tree it'd been the day before the minute I alighted from my cab. Tipping the driver generously due to how great of a company and extremely chatty he'd been, I slung my white duffel bag over my left shoulder and sauntered across, pulling the side door open. As soon as I slammed the door close, Max leaned in, capturing the side of my lips in a kiss and sucking on it aggressively. I placed a hand on his biceps and leaned back with an exhale. “You look beautiful,” he holds my gaze, running his fingers through my hair. I nuzzled my face closer, craving the warmth of his hand. Electricity and an insanely high sexual tension lapped up around us. I tilted my head, moaning as his lips attacked my neck next, trailing light, feathery kisses at first before they became urgent — more demanding. Dipping a hand into my dress, he cupped my left tit softly, the fullness filling his large hand. My nails dug into the leather headrest as

    I sucked in a deep breath, my heart hammering when he smirked and rose from his seat, stepping forward to push my legs apart and position himself in between them. He held my hair behind my back and traced the outline of my lips with his long fingers, his facial expression wistful before he bent and kissed me softly. His lips were firm and soft, and he was well experienced in suction. Tilting my head to the side and parting my lips, I gave him access to the wine-tasting land in my mouth. Shit, I gripped his wrists when his tongue became urgent, doing insane things and making my pussy lips tighten and moisten. When he pulled back suddenly, his blue eyes wild and frantic, he whispered. “Welcome home, Elaine.”I beamed, pulling his face down to mine once more, and quivering as his tongue swept over my bottom lip. Ugh. “Thanks for having me, Mr. Sturm. I'm glad we came here.”He trapped my bottom lip in between his teeth, tugging lightly. I exhaled in delight, locking my arms around his ne

    I took deep breaths to calm my nerves while seated in the wide, spacious bathroom that could hold twelve people doing different activities at once without a hitch. My kitchen was a rat's home compared to this.It was almost six o'clock in the morning and I was still trying to recover from the aftershocks of intense pleasuring Max had put me through the previous night. He'd fucked my pussy so good with his tongue — a treat which no other past ex-boyfriend of mine had agreed to — and we had rough, marathon sex till about two in the morning before we eventually fell asleep to recharge and he woke me up by five for one brief quickie.I sighed in contentment as I scanned the luxury bathroom once more, wondering how surreal it would feel to have my bath in it every single day of the week. It was so exotic and everything looked so fancy and expensive. I bet the money used to purchase the oval stone jacuzzi sitting in a corner would be enough to cover my rent for two straight years. There was

    I didn't care to know about others but, shopping will forever remain a mystery to me. It's even harder to shop when you're poor and have too busy stuff within your budget. Then you keep seeing every damn hot outfit ever created. Every pretty accessory calling out to you, to take them off the showcase. But they turn out so expensive, you'll be homeless for months if you give in to such temptation. Max and I would be flying out in a few hours from now and I was in a dire state of panic. I needed a dress for our date since I'd worn all my old ones to work. I wanted something sexy and cheap, and I wasn't finding any of these dresses remotely sexy or even cheap. What the fuck am I going to do? I don't have enough time to dash into another boutique. I've wasted enough time already. Huffing, I flicked through the clothing rack, trying not to drown in the pressure. The exotic line had some really pretty dresses, the sexiest I've ever set my eyes on but they're all a little above a thousand

    Elaine No matter how many times I saw Manhattan at night, it looked more beautiful than the last. When I newly moved to this city from New Zealand where my family was, there was never a night that went by for the next year that I wasn't out strolling and checking out all the fun bars and people. I felt freer than I ever was, but I was still a tad bit uncertain about what the future held because I had no friends and my family was not with me. When I sighted Cora and the girls for the first time sitting across from me in a then trendy new pub downtown, I was intimidated. Everything from their appearance to their manner of speech and the guys that were hanging out with them screamed wealth. They were the sole center of attention and I was left feeling so self-conscious and envious. I thought I didn't belong there. I thought I didn't belong in this town. But then Cora held up her hand and signaled me to come to sit with them. Mortified, I turned down their offer at first, insisting that

    Max I kicked the hotel room door open with my foot, my lips on hers, guiding her back towards the king-sized bed. She threw the bags down and clambered on, while I tore my jacket off my shoulders, beaming at her in excitement. Fuck. This lady will be the death of me. All through the cab ride, and even during our flight, it was hard for me to keep still while she was seated next to me, looking as sexy and glorious as the first time we met. No matter how many times I pressed my lips on hers, it never felt enough. “Take off your clothes, princess,” I growled, tugging at the hem of her gown. “Yours first, sweetheart,” she laughed, crawling forward to help me undo my shirt buttons and toss them aside. She fumbled with the little buckle on her shoes for a bit while I unhooked my best and tore down my pants, along with my underwear; my hard, quivering cock springing out. Her eyes lit up with delight at it. “Shit. That's... that's one hell of a cock you've got there,” she muttered, her t

    Elaine I shut my eyes to drown out the hurt of his words. Shit. I was so thirsty for an answer, and now I'd got it. Well, this meant that I was right after all. He'd never come to accept me and Finn no matter what. I didn't want to burden myself with the truth that his view on single moms would change a lot of things between us. “Elaine?” an unsure voice asked behind me. I whipped my head from Max to the tall, dark-haired perfection that was my ex boyfriend and did a double take. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Of all places to show up. “Alessandro?” I stuttered, trying so hard to keep myself firm and not throw up right here. My eyes flickered back to Max who was standing now, glancing between Alessandro and I with an unreasonable expression. An introduction wouldn't be so bad, I decided. “Um, hi Alessandro. This is, uh, Max Sturm. Max, this is Alessandro Valdez,” I murmured, my palms sweaty and itchy all of a sudden. Alessandro extended a hand from his pocket and Max took it, still staring a

    Elaine“Hey, Cherry.”Two words. Two fucking words whispered sexily in my ears and I was close to exploding. It felt as though my body was on automated response to anything that had to do with him. I sat still, rigid as he pecked my left cheek, before turning to scoot a chair back to sit, his knees touching mine, his eyes lingering. Samson hugged Jess and waved at Ryan, before sitting down as well.What the hell was happening?“Hi,” I blurted out at last, swallowing hard. He clasped my hands in his, the heat from his hands calming my goosebumps while making my pulse race. He stared at me intently, a mischievous smirk on his lips. The last time he looked at me this way was that night, right before I told him all about Finn. My eyes darted to Jess who seemed equally confused. Samson sat, all laid back, with his usual cold, domineering aura.Oh, fudge.“Why are you boys back early?” Jess finally asked, her face scrunched up in confusion. “Has the party ended? Ryan?”Ryan shrugged. “I don

    Elaine“I'm warning you, Elaine. One of these days, you'll have no choice but to give that young man a chance. Look at how much he's texted you... it'll be sad to leave him in the lurch,” Jess said, glancing over the rim of her wine glass at Ryan, who nodded in approval. “You're twenty-seven and you have the entire world on the heel of your palm. Make the best use of it.”We were seated on the outdoor patio upstairs, adjacent to the children's living room. Jess stood up from time to time to go check up on the baby who was fast asleep in his crib. Ryan was having a bit of a sour time with Jake bailing out from the whole party thing, but didn't want to call it off. I could've gone, if Jess was strong, but she hadn't completely recovered yet and it wasn't wise to take a new baby to a party so we all decided to hang out here. Besides, the last person I wanted to keep bumping into was Max, who was undoubtedly in attendance.Rolling my eyes, I waved her advice off. “I told you guys, remembe

    MaxThe reflection of the hanging strobe lights flickered across the pool. It was a little before sunset, and the waiters were dressed in bright white starched shirts and red glittering pants, circling with trays balanced on their curt fingertips. It was a pretty chill Saturday night and Ryan was having a party to celebrate his one year anniversary with his boyfriend, Jake.I was seated with Samson and the rest of the boys. Jess was home, taking care of the newest member of the Sturm family — Ashton, with Ryan helping her out, despite being needed here. Samson was agitated, and I knew he wanted nothing but to bolt out of this place and go home to her. I didn't blame him though, Jess was one in a million, and there were times I was forced to concede that their love for each other was better than the best fairytale out there.Before he met Jess, Samson was a party whore. He fucked around, with multiple girls, stayed at clubs till dawn, yet still managed to turn up for work in the mornin

    ElaineIt was a few months till Autumn, and the air was becoming chilly. Max was letting me have the car for a day while he stayed home with Finn at his place. I pulled into the driveway, turning off the ignition. Finn hooted and clapped in delight.“We're home!”He'd begged to stay with Max for the weekend, as well, and while they hanged out, I planned to get my shit together and try a blind date out. I wasn't getting any younger, and tying myself down by what had happened wasn't doing me any good.Looking up at Max through the rear view mirror, I caught his eyes, his lips parted as though he wanted to say something. It had become a habit for him to do this each time I was about to take the car back home with me — lingering as though he had more to say. He twirled the keys in his hands idly, not taking his eyes off me even for a second. At last he whipped his gaze to Finn. “Hey, soldier. Mind going in while I talk with Mamma for a bit?”“Okay, Daddy,” Finn giggled, snatching the keys

    ElaineIt had been two months since Max Sturm attempted to take my son away from me.Two months of not seeing or speaking to each other. Two months of pain that refused to go away.My mother once taught me that time was the greatest healer. Wounds heal with time, same with misunderstandings. But the gap between Max and I only deepened as the day progressed. I couldn't get over my hate for him, even with the fact that unity was strength and Finn needed us both at this crucial point of time in his life. I didn't know how to forgive him, and since he wasn't making any conscious effort to make amends for all the pain he caused, I figured that, perhaps he felt the same way. He hated me as well.I stopped searching for a job and just plunged deep into an abyss of emptiness, sadness and reflectiveness. Ivy and the other girls tried to get my spirits up, and I even received a response for an important interview I signed months ago, but there was no motivation to work. The fear of having Finn

    MaxAfter the court proceedings, I didn't go home immediately. Instead, I took a detour to Samson's place, to tell him the news. I still couldn't get over my guilt. Elaine was beyond distraught. I hated the way she looked at me. Like I was the most disgusting human she'd ever been cursed to encounter, and maybe she was right. I was taking things too far. I wasn't in my right senses — I was letting my paternal instinct ruin everything.Riding up the elevator to the top floor, I ran a hand through my hair, feeling like shit. The judge had instructed that I sort things out with Elaine. That the least thing Finn needed right now was his parents fighting. I'd never want a situation where I would be one to ruin my boy's childhood, so I had to be the bigger person and try to make a conscious effort at reconciliation. But the deal was, I had no idea how to face Elaine. She hated me. And rightly so. I was a fucking dickhead.The elevator bell clinked, and the doors drew apart. Walking into the

    Elaine I rushed up the stairs that led to the entrance of the mansion, hardly seeing anything, thanks to my rage. Max must've been expecting me, for he drew the door shut behind me the second I whizzed in.I whirled around to face him, thrusting the papers into his face. “Do you mind explaining what the fucking hell this is?”“Calm down, Elaine. Deep breaths,” he stated calmly.“Don't tell me to calm down!” I howled. “How long have you known him, Max? Four damn seconds and suddenly you think you've got what it takes to look after him for the rest of his life?”He scoffed in irritation. “He's safer with me, Elaine. You're the one going to club, meeting strange men and doing drugs.”“I'm not doing drugs. I was drugged! It could happen to anyone.”“That's not a valid excuse either. Why on earth will you leave Finn at home to go spend time with spoilt random people at a club? You're not in highschool anymore, Elaine. You're a mother. And you've got to act like one.”I glared at him, my t

    ElaineI laid haphazardly on the parlour couch, half-dozing off. My joints were aching and it felt as though bricks were in my head. The room was silent with Cora sitting on the sette opposite, her brows knitted together worriedly. It was a half past one, so it wasn't yet time for her to pick Finn up from preschool.“So, you honestly don't remember any of the other boys except Sky?” she frowned, adjusting herself to peer at me closely. “What are the chances that they were the ones responsible for drugging you? And why would they do that? You weren't alone with them. They didn't drug Ivy or one of the other girls.”“I'm lost, Cora,” I muttered, shaking my head gently while yawning. “It could have been anyone who slipped something in the drink, but the boys are the prime suspect. Things went downhill the minute they approached us. I'm not sure it was Sky...” I trailed off, rubbing my temples softly.“Well, thank heavens you're getting better now. The doctor said that the drugs, coupled

    MaxIt was a few minutes past ten in the night when my phone trilled on the table, disrupting the otherwise quiet solitude of my study. I looked up from the manuscript I was working on, pushing the tortoise-shell glasses I'd recently gotten back over the bridge of my nose as I peered at the strange number on the screen.I'd never seen that number before, and a part of me felt irritated. Perhaps it was Ivy, or one of the girls in the proofreading department. Sighing, I picked it up at last.“Hello?”“M-Mr Sturm?” Ivy's frightened voice set off my hackles. I rose from my chair quickly. Something was wrong.“Ivy? What's wrong? You don't sound so good.”“I'm so sorry,” she blurted out tearfully. “It's all my fault. She wanted to leave when the boys approached but I stopped her...now she's...” she rambled on.“Calm down, Ivy. Deep breaths,” I stated calmly. “Breathe in...breathe out. Now, tell me what's wrong. Who did you stop from leaving?”“It's Elaine, Sir. She was found, knocked out co
