“No, I didn’t” I deflated still watching the little boy as he stuffed cookies into his pockets.I feel him step closer to me. “I meant the other thing”Oh, that. “It was nothing” I mumbled, smoothing a hand down my skirt.It had been a delicate situation. Children were delicate. It was just the way I would have wanted someone, anyone to speak to me when I was that age.I'm here for you Katy. Let's be friends Katy.A hand drops to the small of my back turning me to face, his gaze meets mine, calm, holding a hint of amusement and a little… imploring? My gaze dropped to the undone button at the collar of his white shirt, and my eyes followed the row of buttons down his chest, though he'd been wearing it all day, it managed to look crisp, only a hint of wrinkle could be seen where his sleeves have been perfectly folded. The shirt is tucked neatly into navy blue suit pants. He looked handsome. Then again he always looked handsome. He seemed content to just stare at me, I clasped my h

News? Wait, did she just say mother? My eyes widen jumping between the couple. Parents?Any chance I misheared her?They were his parents?I realized why those eyes were so familiar, now narrowed in annoyance, I realized I saw a replica of those same green eyes I see whenever I close my eyes.“We speak weekly. Do you think you could have informed your mom of your upcoming nuptials during that time? I didn’t even know you were seeing someone, did you know he was seeing someone?” She asked the man beside her, her husband, Ian's dad shook his head a displeased frown on his face.“It was a last-minute decision really, the situation called for a hasty ceremony, there was no time to send word via carrier pigeon to Al-Hehaya, apologies” by his tone, he wasn't even a little apologetic.Al-what? Where’s that?His hand moved over my shoulder and tucked me closer to his side. “It's a remote village in Egypt”I hadn't realized I'd spoken aloud, I'm still in shock.Egypt, they were in Egypt all t

Not long after we said goodnight to the Bensons, Elise was nowhere to be seen, Naomi waved me away when I mentioned the meeting. “You’ve done enough dear, go be with your husband,” she says with a pat on my shoulder. We send off May and Lawrence in the parking lot after inputting my number into May’s phone, promising to have lunch the following day. “You can think of me as a friend Katy,” she said with one last hug. “I’d like that May” I couldn’t help my smile, she was a really sweet lady.“I want to know everything!” she exclaimed getting into the backseat of the Bently alongside her husband. I wave after them, Mr. Allen driving before heading our way. It was a little strange to see Ian driving Bumper but he refused to let me drive. Shaking his head the moment I got the keys from my bag, he led me away from the driver's seat. “Are you doubting my driving skills?” His response? “When I’m with you, I drive” I poked my tongue at him and he smacked my ass in return.I slipped of

“Why are you wearing that?” He’d stepped out of the bathroom and paused, a frown on his lips, the cool scent of his aftershave hovering around him.I looked down at my outfit. “Why? Don’t like it?” I asked pulling my jacket over a blue maxi dress, a pair of Air Jordans at my feet. I looked modest and decent.The scowl on his lips was all the answer I needed and I nodded, good, I wasn’t dressing up for him today. It was the exact opposite actually. “Shall I help you in picking out something today? All you have to do is ask” he murmured teasingly. My eyes dropped and heat swept through me at the state of the bed, I’m reminded of last night, he didn’t let up for hours, making me come as many times as my body could. In a way I didn’t think possible, so much so we slept in this morning.If he was concerned about missing any meetings, he didn’t show. I’d only gotten up when I got a call came in, it was Hannah to confirm the time for our study session today. It was then I'd seen a text in

I coughed a little. She was so far off but I didn’t have the heart to correct her. Besides we might have started as an arrangement but things were very different now. “You think?” I couldn’t help my grin.She nodded. “Definitely, you’re such a beautiful girl, Ian always had an eye for pretty things, explains why he tied the knot so quickly”She was so easy to talk to, she didn’t act older like most adults, and she just spoke to me like a person, a friend. I mentally went through what I could remember of that day, which was every last detail as I thought of it often. And I concluded that it must have been an accident, he wasn’t surprised to see me at the courthouse the next day, makes me think he differently doesn’t remember the mall. “I’m sorry about that, that you missed the wedding, I didn’t know-““Never mind that its in the past now, he sent me photos of your beautiful day and I’ll have to be satisfied with that”Pictures? I didn’t remember any pictures from that day then again

Pain spreads across my face and underneath my eyes where she slapped me. I cradle my cheek with my palm shooting her the hardest devilish glare I could muster, my other hand curled into a fist at my side.Eunice leaned into me, pointing a sharp nail in my face “Your mother was a rat poor two-faced slut who stole her best friend’s boyfriend”“Liar” I shoved her out of my face. “Don’t touch my mother Katy, I’m fucking warning you” Monica yelled attacking me from the side. “Then tell her to stop fucking lying!” I pushed them away from me seething “You’re a liar, all you do is lie. And I know you’re lying because my mother would never be friends with someone shallow and devious like you!” I spat. It was her turn to laugh. “You don’t know anything you dumb bitch, David was mine first, I brought that-that” she shook her head. “They only came clean after I caught her fucking my boyfriend two months after I’d introduced them at a house party, said it was a mistake and they were in love, d

A wave of black hair hung over her forehead, and her pretty blue eyes smiled “It’s just you and me now Katy” I woke with a gasp, my heart pounded loudly between my ears, my chest so tight, the room so dark I could barely see a thing, I instructed my lungs to work.White lights dotted around the edges of my vision.Oh God.I think I’m going to be sick.I gasped as I drew in one shaky breath after the next my eyes clenched shut, fingers fisted around the pillow under my head. It took me a moment to realize where I was. For my mind to register it was warm sheets around my bare body and not cool rainy air. I could still hear squealing tires and a loud platter of heavy rain if I closed my eyes so I kept them wide open.Behind me, the bed moved, and something heavy, a familiar warmth draped over me—warm skin against my chilled back.“Katy?”I blinked, my throat too tight for words.Ian.He’s here.Oh, thank God he’s here.The white lights that began dotting my vision dimmed.His finger smoo

My eyes bulged. Had I really texted that? Yes... I had. I was... upset.I still am. Crap.I inhaled shakily some of the anger bleeding out of me. I shouldn’t hurl out words like that at him even if I am pissed and he wanted to consort with the enemy. I am sensible enough to admit that. I swallowed the knot in my throat, “I’m sorry, I wasn’t thinking, that was- was out of line” I stuttered suddenly swarmed with shame at my behavior.He stared at me, saying nothing. I clasped my fingers behind me, a jittery feeling, nerves building at the base of my spine. I tried to keep my voice as strong as when he’d first got here as I continued. “B-But it doesn’t change the fact I don’t want to see them, I never want to see them again, if you invite them over you’ll be seeing them a-alone” Ian crossed behind the desk, moving books and papers around, he pushed a drawer open and snapped it shut, then he nudged the table forward as though to test the strength, he nodded once as if to say it’l

“He used to come visit us” a voice called lightly behind me. It’s been two weeks since Ian moved back into the house, and I gradually returned to the land of the living, doing... well, things like waking up, leaving my bed, and talking to other people, this is one step I hadn't been able to make until this afternoon. We were taking it slow. I was learning to trust him again. We talked, spending as much time outside work as we could, breakfast every morning before he went to work and I, did whatever I wanted as it was the summer break, then dinner in the evenings, maybe a movie, and then bed. Separate beds. It was a little weird. But like I said, taking it slow. He showed me the file he had on me, it had been… very detailed, and even contained some information I hadn’t known about myself. He’s also promised not to keep things from me again. I’ve been spending more and more time at the foundation, Naomi agreed to take me on as an assistant teacher for the little

I am so wet I did take much, only a slight bite of pain which I ignored in my need to have him inside, I shook as I sat on his hips, our groins flushed as flutters recked me. I cupped my breast pinching my nipple as I rolled my hips. So thick, hot and hard between my walls I fell foward, a hand smooths up my spine, into my hair and he captured my lips in a deep kiss. Groaning into my mouth as my hips rolled taking him deeper. Fucking myself on his cock. “Fuck baby, you feel so good, so fucking good” he groaned moving beneath me. Flashes of lightening colored the sky lightening up the room. “No” I knocked his hand away planted my palms on his chest when he made to rise, his hands reaching for me. “No Ian! Or I’ll stop” I warned slamming my hips down on his cock. He made a pained sound and curled his hands into a fist. “Let me touch you baby, please” “No” I snapped. Veins corded his neck as he threw his head back, pleasure and pain twisting his features as I boun

Panic gripped me. “I don’t think that’s a good idea” I couldn’t stay here with him. Alone. “Incase you didn’t notice, it’s raining heavily” My eyes flew to the windows, rivulets of water lined the glass. “I’ll drive carefully, it’s fine” “Absolutely not, you will stay” the sharpness of his tone had me glancing at him. This close, the light amusement drained from his features and I noted a hint of displeasure in his eyes. “You are upset” But why? “What gave it away?” He cocked. “I’ve been away from my wife and my home for almost two weeks, your father passed and you spun my wishes to comfort you, you act as though I am a stranger when we have lived together for almost half a year, so yes, wife, I am upset, but that is a conversation for another time because even in my displeasure, I worry, so you will stay the night, I have several bedrooms, pick one. Allen will drop you off in the morning” Well crap. With nothing to say, I dipped my chin. It was futile anyway.

The location leads me to an apartment complex in the city. I pack in the underground garage, The black Ferrari I’d named Bumper was packed at the curb when I stepped out of the house, the key fob in the drivers seat when I made my way around. I glance around as I shut off the vehicle my phone pinged with a text in the cup holder. Second elevator. It read Passcode: 0676 I drew in a fortifying breath before popping the door open. Cool wind blasted my face and through my loose hair. I tugged my jacket closer, seems it’s going to rain, I think as I looked around for the elevator and made my way towards it. After agreeing to meet him, I’d taken some time to freshen up and actually run a brush through my hair. I pushed the call button, moving from foot to foot, my belly queasy as waited for the evaluator to arrive. Ping I startled as the elevator door slid open. Is it too late to get back in my car? I could just tell him something came up. And talk later, it didn’t hav

** Heat swooped down my belly settling in my core. Long fingers smoothed down my chest, cupping the weight and settling on my taut nipple pinching softly, I hummed, moaning out a name.My toes curled, heat enveloped me, molten lava swooped down my belly and I ached right there, between my legs. I let out a low moan, my thighs clenching at the beautiful stretch, a finger pressed down my clit and I sighed. I loved it when he did that. The movement quickened, smooth thrusts, and my thighs parted to give him more room, my head rolling from side to side as pleasure swept through me. I gasped and my lids blinked open, I was on my side one the bed, my heart beating so fast, in tempo with the throbbing between my legs. I shifted unto my back, blinking in confusion as reality washed over me, I'm in bedAlone.My core clenched painfully around my fingers and I realized how close to orgasm I was.I glanced at the bed once more, scanning the room and confirmed I was truly alone.I could have sw

The day after Ian left, Dad passed away in his sleep, the nurse said his heart stopped beating. He’d gone quietly, painlessly. He was buried a week later.I didn't go. I couldn’t. I bared a grudge, maybe later I’d regret it but I am hurt. It wasn't like me, goody two shoes Katy, who always did what was expected of me. I didn't recognize myself these days.He’d been laid to rest beside my mum as he wanted. With mom and dad gone, and him… I was truly alone now. I’d gotten condolences and well wishes from Elise and Naomi, a few of Dad’s colleagues, his assistant at the company, and peers from high school on my social media had reached out also.I looked at them without responding.At some point, I got a notification that I'd missed my appointment at the clinic for another shot of birth control and to reschedule. I swiped away the notification so fast, and turned off my phone after that. Hannah has been by twice, the first time, I’d been surprised to see her and it showed. “You hav

“I will not risk you” “I’m not asking Ian, I’ve made my decision. I need to see this through, I must” I swallowed shakingly. Learning about my mother sealed it. I was coming along end of. “I’m not asking Ian, I’ve made my decision. I need to see this through, I must” For as long as I can remember, I let others make decisions in my life. No more. Ian refused and I threatened to follow them. “Not if you lock you in your room” he returned. “Do that and I’ll never speak to you again!” I yelled. “At least you’ll be alive” I shook on the spot. “I’m not joking Ian- I swear I’ll- I need to be there. If they killed my mother, almost killed me, I need to see them face to face” He glared at me. I glared right back. My mind was made up. That evening, we seat at the back of the Bently. Mr. Allen drove with Mason rode shotgun. Another vehicle with security traveling behind us. I'm slightly surprised when we come to a stop in a normal looking building. I half expe

“You knew me… before the courthouse,” I say the next morning. In his office where I'd met he and Mr Allen talking in low tones over a screen. They immediately went quiet, Ian had clicked it off when I let myself in and I wondered how many times I've seen him do that. I never cared to check what he was doing, and why would I? The other man nodded once and left the room. And I shoved my hands into my front pockets as I walked further into the room. He seems more himself this morning, in control, assured. Behind his large oak table, fingers steeped loosely over the now faced down tablet, he just looked at me, “Is that supposed to be a question" “Did you know me, Ian?” “Yes” What was that he said last night? He saw me, he wanted me and he got me? I nodded. “How?” He looked me over and I felt his internal turmoil as he debated what to tell me. “I first saw you in traffic, you were helping some kids crossing the road, I’m not sure what about it caught my attention," he said soft

I didn’t know his name when I signed my name on that contract, then I moved into his house, with time I allowed him into my life, into my body. He might have been a stranger but I’d always felt a certain amount of safety that my dad knew him, chose him to be my husband and take over his company. I was wrong. So very wrong.Suspicions and doubt rose in my mind like a seven headed snake. Who is he?What did he want?With my father’s company. With me. I doubt it had anything to do with me.It had to be the company.I’m reminded that of recent he cut off Eunice and Monica’s allowance, it seemed he had done it to get back at them on my behalf but what if it wasn’t? Then there’s Mr. Grayson who I actually know to be a friend and partner of my dad's and has been ever suspicious of Ian, God, have I been a fool? There’s also Mr. Alfred, dad trusted him and so I trusted him, but how many times has Ian shown to be very aware of my discussions with the lawyer? Ian could have bought him of
