Mordecai's standpoint I stared at Autumn's lips, the menu in my hands long forgotten. She was biting her lip as she decided on what to order. I decided to take her to an Italian restaurant, to make her feel a little at home and because I knew that a certain famous blogger always ate there at that exact time. It was the perfect way to please her and spread the news that we were together to pain Landon. I was such a fool doubting her and almost ruining everything due to anger. The pain of having her leave me for him blinded me, but I wasn't going to let it happen again. She ran her tongue over her lips, reminding me of how tender those flesh are, how they melted in mine. Autumn was a fabulous kisser, a damn kisser that knew how to send a man thinking of nothing else than her lips and her taste. Simple way to describe her taste, cinnamon and vanilla, sweet, sweet vanilla. She reacted to my touch so well, like her body was waiting for me. I knew she wasn't lying about the asexual part,
Chelsea's standpoint I typed on my laptop meticulously, Andy gave me all his paperwork to handle. Luckily, I was almost done retyping the last one on my laptop and getting it ready to print out as official documents. Then I would have to take it to his lawyer myself to stamp the work. It had to do with the legal purchase of rare artwork from his gallery and other stuff. I twisted my neck and cracked my knuckles, exhausted already. "I haven't even checked on Autumn," I mused. I shook it off and continued typing meticulously. My phone vibrated from where it lay beside me. I looked at the phone and furrowed my brows. Andy sent me a message to come online so we could talk about business. I cracked my knuckles before I picked up my phone, turned on my data, and did what my boss said. My little seduction of my boss was going so well. Andy found it more entertaining to walk into walls while staring at me. Or tripping over his feet and making a mess. Andy is just too funny and too nice. Me
Chelsea's standpoint Autumn danced about the living room, brushing her hair. Mordecai called and told her he was bringing friends for lunch and then they would spend the evening at his grandfather's for a proper introduction. Why was she happy? Some bloggers took a picture of them kissing at the restaurant and the news was displayed on television. I, on the other hand, just watched her with amusement. It's not the first time she's appeared on TV but for some reason, it was a huge deal for her. "I've removed the bachelor CEO from the market. That's a huge deal." She said, Yeah, whatever makes her happy. "The woman has been identified as Dr. Autumn Newton, the only daughter and child of the famous Late Dr. Newton. Reports show that she attended the young—not so much of a—bachelor's birthday party although not fully dressed for the occasion. Suellen Stockings wrote in her blog that she does not have the full information on their relationship. But I hope to get an interview with one of
Mordecai's standpoint Aaron and I were teasing Jaxon. The doctor had confirmed that two of the pregnancies were his. He was laughing painfully while we laughed to our heart's content. We walked into Mama's diner and headed to the first table available. "Keep laughing, one day you will both become fathers of ten children from different women," he said crossly. Aaron put his fist to his mouth and coughed out a "kettle," causing me to laugh again. "Stop laughing! I'm sure you won't find it funny when you find out you are going to be a dad of two!" "And more to come," I added. He muttered something to himself while we laughed. "If I meet this girlfriend of yours, I'll tell her you have five children somewhere," "Good afternoon, gentlemen," my heart flipped at her voice, it sounded sexy, almost like a purr but I knew she wasn't purring because I'd heard her purr and it did things to me. Her voice was naturally seductive, in a way I couldn't fathom. I averted my eyes to her to reply
Autumn's standpoint Mordecai's friends are hilarious… Well, Anderson and Jaxon are. Aaron is simply super hot. Too bad I can't have both men, that'll be the day. I was in the locker room after changing into my second outfit. I was trying to call Chelsea to give her the gist, I was super excited. The coolest thing was Aaron was attracted, really attracted. I wasn't going to do anything about it, but still, it was making me all psyched up. If he wasn't Mordecai's friend, I would have. "Finally! You answered my call!" I exclaimed. "I have a gist, big gist!" "Um, okay," "I met his friends and they are all nice and funny. Jaxon is a clown, the childish one and though really sweet, a dog. He couldn't stop trying to flirt with me and he is easy to tease… At least, I think he is. Do you know he got five ladies pregnant? How did that happen? Then Aaron. He looks cold but he is great when you get to know him. The only problem is that he's attracted to me, and it's exciting. Don't get me wro
Autumn's standpoint I yawned tiredly as I threw myself on Mordecai's bed. We stayed late in his grandfather's house and then a sudden storm trapped us in. So, there I was in his bedroom, yawning from all the exhaustion of making him furious. I lazily kicked off my slippers and got under the covers drowsily. The bathroom door opened at that moment. I looked to the door to see him walking out drying his hair with a beige towel. He was wearing a black muscle shirt, black and gray sweatpants, and black feathered slippers. I turned my head away before I started thinking of what would make a stormy night on the same bed with a sexy guy frustrating. I closed my eyes and listened to the slap of his slippers and humming, making his way around to get his stuff done. After minutes of listening, I was almost slipping off to Dreamland when I felt a tap on my shoulder. "What?" I groaned. "Are you asleep?" "I was," "I can't sleep, can we do something? Pillow talk or anything at all?" "Cai, I n
Autumn's standpoint "Not so fast, princess," he looked deep into my eyes. I was instantly charmed. Mordecai smirked as he put one arm underneath his head while his other hand kept pulling me closer until my chest was against his. I placed my forearms on his chest to add a little space between us—not that it helped. I raised my gaze from his chest to his face, angling my head backward a little. I looked into his green eyes and sighed, he was gazing back at me with lustful hunger and affection, his hand on my waist turning hotter and almost making me feel like butter in heat. The thin night dress I borrowed from Daddy's late wife's belongings suddenly felt thinner, feeling like I wasn't even wearing anything. My heart hammered against my chest, my body did something creepy and strange, something I had never felt before in my whole life. Just by him looking down at me like I was the only thing in the world that mattered, the only food he wanted to eat. "Mordecai," I breathed huskily, "
Mordecai's standpoint I felt the space beside me, smiling from ear to ear. Last night was the best, it was everything I imagined our first night would be. Even though I didn't get to explore her body that much, I enjoyed ravishing my favorite part of a woman's body. Her breasts were everything I wanted; soft and smooth and it had its own taste. And she took me in so well and didn't complain about my roughness. I was rough because I hadn't been with a woman for a long time and she was the very woman my body needed. I was going to make it up to her, take my time to explore the parts I didn't taste, and treat her body the way it deserves. "Autumn?" I called, opening my eyes. The space beside me was empty and cold which meant she had been gone for a while. "Autumn?" I called again, sitting up. I held my breath to control my heart. She couldn't have left just like that, right? I stood up, picked up my sweatpants, slipped them on, and wore my slippers. I grabbed my muscle shirt and hurrie
EpilogueAutumn smiled as she stared at the picture of her little family of five. Her darling husband has loved her just the way he did from the very beginning. Even though it had been fourteen years and a few months since they said their vows. His love had never wavered, even when they fought and ignored each other for days. She knew he loved her more than she loved him. She couldn't ask for anything more.Next was her first child and son, her frenemy, Kai. They loved each other, but never admitted it out loud. All they did was argue, which was mostly them teasing each other at every chance they got. Kai loved his father and younger siblings a lot and would kill to keep them happy. He wouldn't kill for his mother but would do anything to annoy her. Though annoying was his natural talent, his heavenly gift. Anywhere he enters, trouble follows. Kai The Menace like his friends called him when he was younger. He found joy in causing confusion among people, deriving happiness from frustra
Mordecai's standpointThe reception was going just fine with me ignoring Autumn as punishment for suffering me. There was an elevator the whole time and she made me carry her. Do you know how much she weighs? I was already planning on selling Kai if he should come out as a scrawny stick. The troubles he gave me were too much.I looked over at where she sat. She sat alone with hands between her legs as she stared at me intensely. And when I said intensely, I meant in a way her cuteness was troubling. It was difficult to remain mad with the way she was looking at me. She hadn't taken her eyes off me since I started ignoring her. Walking around with two intense eyes on me wasn't comfortable. It made me trip multiple times, satisfying whatever she thought she was doing.Anderson and Chelsea were receiving their wedding toast. I smiled as memories of us at our time replayed in my head. She was the most beautiful then, the most gorgeous woman, and even until now. I returned my glassy eyes t
Mordecai's standpointWhat will it take to get a woman to dress up quickly? I mean come on! What's with women and their forever dress-up?! Just like Autumn almost gave me a heart attack by not showing up on time, Chelsea was doing the same thing to Anderson and his situation was worse. It had been four months and a few weeks since the woman woke up from a coma. Andy decided a month ago that he wanted to get married, so he proposed and the wedding saga followed.Autumn dragged me to different events for the so-called quiet wedding. Who needs a dinner rehearsal for a wedding when you can just get the hell married with no stress or even planning what you want to say? I still don't see the point in it, and being dragged to it wasn't appreciated. I couldn't complain or decline because one, he was my other best friend, and two, Autumn Naggison would talk me to death and cry and scream and mix it all up. Pregnancy doesn't suit her.So there I was, going to check on why the women were being h
Two Weeks LaterThe heart monitor beeps continuously as I check Chelsea's pulse. I hummed so I wouldn't cry. Two whole weeks of hell. Brianna woke up—thank God—but the others hadn't. Chelsea was showing more signs of improvement since she kept drifting in and out of consciousness, but Meredith was unmoving which was a bad thing. I still had hope that she would be fine. Technically, she had been in a coma for a month while Chelsea had been in and out of a coma for three weeks. Brianna only lay in a coma for a week while I was unconscious for three days. My baby was still fine, thankfully.I dropped the notepad on the desk and went over to sit with her. I took her hand in mine and entwined our fingers together. A jolt of electricity charged through my body from our laced fingers. We were connected, Chelsea and I. Our bond was unbreakable and would remain that way."Chelsea, remember when we were ten?" I asked, smiling at the memory. "We went camping with Meredith's family. That was when
Autumn's standpointCrap! Crap! Million more crap!This is bad!I couldn't do anything else than follow him or he would shoot me. He was the kind that would rather kill me than let someone else have me. And if he found out that I had been playing him, he would get really pissed. I walk-run behind him, glancing over my shoulders for any sign of Mordecai or even Eugene. My hope dwindled with every step I took, freedom was as good as gone.The black helicopter spun dangerously in the middle of the field, its blades pushing every light thing away. The dust flew here and there, causing us to shield our eyes from it."Sir, we have to hurry! Eugene has noticed the copter and is com…" The short redhead barely finished his statement before a bullet hit him right between the eyes. I screamed with horror at the disgusting sight. Montana quickly dragged me around to the other side of the copter."Why don't we get in?" I asked as if I wanted to."They could shoot it down, come on," he pulled me al
Autumn's standpointTears rolled down the side of my eyes to the bed as I held the wooden bar of the headboard. Montona pounded into me as he groaned and moaned. I had to do it, I had to let him touch me or he would suspect and force himself on me. He thought the tears were for pleasure, but it wasn't. I felt filthy as I let the fool break my marital vow. He would have done it anyway, I just made it easier for myself so my baby wouldn't get hurt. Protecting my baby was my utmost priority, it was the only thing that mattered.All I wanted was Mordecai to hold me, but no, he wasn't there. I swallowed the sob from leaving my mouth, my body shaking with pain but to him, it was pleasure."Scream my name, baby, scream it," he demanded."Oh, Montona, fuck me harder, babe, that's it… Right there, fuck me harder, Montona…""That's right, scream my name louder!" I continued screaming and crying with pain though he was thinking it was pleasure. At least, I convinced him to wear a condom. He ejac
Aaron's standpoint"We don't have time!" Mordecai screamed. His phone rang at that moment. He angrily removed the phone from his pocket and answered it. "What?" He snapped. "What the fuck, Landon! Why are you calling me?!""Put it on speaker," I instructed. He put the call on speaker."How could you let him take Autumn?! You are irresponsible!" Him?"So says the idiot that couldn't handle his father's company! What do you want?!""It's all over the news, Brianna's accident, Meredith's attempted murder, Chelsea's hospitalization, and Autumn's kidnap! The whole world already knows someone out there is on to you!" He knew something."Landon, if you have any idea where Autumn is, please share.""I have no fucking clue. I hired him to get rid of you, not her. I warned him not to. I don't know where he lives, I wish I did." He said pathetically."You are completely useless," Andy spat angrily."You hired him to kill my sister, didn't you, Landon?" Mordecai said with a dark chuckle. "I will
Autumn's standpointI whimpered from pain and disgust. My whole body and that horrible smell. It smelt like dry urine and vomit, really sticky and smelly vomit. I forced my eyes open, already knowing what to expect. Unlike some people who wouldn't recognize where they were when they first woke up after being kidnapped. I knew I was kidnapped, I knew who took me but not who he was. I was more concerned for my unborn child and Chelsea, they probably knocked her out with the butt of a gun. The hit could cause a concussion and that wasn't what I wished for my best friend. If she didn't concuss, she was likely to bleed to death. Hopefully, they didn't knock her out.Surprisingly, I was in a bedroom, a dirty old bedroom. I was wondering what the hell they used the bedroom for when the devil opened the door and walked in. I rolled my weak eyes away from his evil smirk and threw myself back into my sleeping position."You are finally awake,""Yeah, no thanks to you," I said scornfully."Baby,
Chelsea moaned painfully as she turned her head slightly, she knew her muscles were tight. She forced her eyes open and blinked the blurriness away before looking around. She was in her living room, on the floor. Her head hurt like crazy. She whimpered as the pain started becoming more apparent as she put two and two together.She started panicking as she realized she was tied up and was bleeding from her head. The pool of blood spread out around her head to her shoulders. She had lost a lot of blood and was sure to pass out again if she didn't get help soon."Help," she shouted weakly, "somebody, help me…" her throat burnt from dryness and her eyes itched with irritation from falling tears. She felt like she had a nasty fever and would die soon. Her brain pounded against her skull, causing her heartbeat to speed up. She had to call out or she would die. Yet, all she could think of was Autumn and her baby, of what that man would do to her. One look at him and you'd know he's a psychop
