Craving Sugar Chapter 23: Hendrix
HendrixGetting possessive much? No. Never. More like guarding an investment.Her reason for doing this was school, and I'd pay for that without an argument. Books, housing, and tuition until she was done and graduated. Everything would be set up to look as if it were a donation/scholarship from my company to aid a deserving individual.Grabbing the items needed, I walked back to the kitchen and served myself a cup of coffee and waited, sipping from my mug while the sun rose higher in the sky and the sound of feet padding in my direction carried through the apartment.At nine a.m. sharp, Beau Carter stood in my kitchen looking like innocent sin. Barefoot, fresh-faced, and wearing an undershirt I'd taken off in my bathroom before heading out with Jax last night."Good morning," she mumbled, toe digging into the floor. "Can I have some coffee before I go?""Have a seat."At my formal tone, she frowned. "Better yet, I should just go. I have a friend that lives nearby...I'll just meet he
Craving Sugar Chapter 24: Beau
Beau"Thank you, GOD! Clock in, woman, my feet hurt," Ruby yelled from across the bar the moment I walked in for my shift at Carmencita's. Most patrons here were regulars and laughed at her antics, while a few others looked toward me with mild annoyance.With her, not me.I'd forgotten she'd be on tonight, and we hadn't talked since Friday's meet my boyfriend disaster. Same night I let Hendrix take me home with him.Forgotten anything around me existed for the last three days while I tried to come up with a viable story to sell to my loved ones.One week was all I asked for.Not even Zoe, who'd been a godsend through all of this, had received more than a text from me. But then again, she understood. Gave me the space I needed to get it together.For the time being, I had tunnel vision. Could only focus on one thing:By Saturday night I would be living with Hendrix Parker, a man I didn't know, as he had requested - demanded, through trickery and manipulation.I should be scared. Nervo
Craving Sugar Chapter 25: Beau
BeauThe next few hours flew by in a constant sea of buckets of domestic beer and greasy bar food. There was a game on all the big screens - NBA finals, and the bar was steady. We didn't catch a break until seven p.m. after the home team won.And by we, I mean Ruby invited herself to have a talk with me.Was it weird that in the small break we've had from each other I had not missed her?"...God, Beau. He's just so incredible. Treats me like a princess," she gushed while I stuffed my mouth with fries. Not that I wasn't happy for her or didn't like Max, but the guy had the personality of a potato. "This weekend we are heading up to Universal Studios' new water park to celebrate one of his teammate's birthday. Full three days of parks: Island's, Universal, and Volcano Bay.""That's nice, Rubes. Have fun."She clapped her hands and did an excited wiggle in her seat. "Works out perfect for both of us." At my confused expression, she rolled her eyes. "Silly, you'll be covering for me sinc
Craving Sugar Chapter 25: Beau
Beau"That's amazing, pumpkin. When do you start?"When do I start? How to answer that?The truth was out of the question, and so I'd let the lie started by Hendrix himself flow. Made me look good and not like the cheap plaything that was being held onto by strings. Pulled in the direction of her master's liking.An egotistical jerk who cared for himself.One of these days I'm going to trip Zoe on purpose."This Monday actually. Bright and - ""Titi!" Aubrey yelled out mid-giggle a few feet from where we were sitting on a blanket. It was moments like these that I thanked God for Aubrey's fascination with the ocean. Without knowing, she bought me a few more minutes to mentally put the finishing touches on my lie.Little omission.She was in an adorable mermaid-inspired bathing suit and running from her mom and the new family friend, Ivan. The man had become ever-present since meeting him. Always around, eating dinner with Gloria and Aubrey every night - playing house.For a school's d
Craving Sugar Chapter 27: Beau
BeauFor minutes I sat back with her daughter in my lap stewing in my anger. Her selfishness had repeatedly cost me important things.I paid for my first car and its insurance because she couldn't afford her rent. Mind you, my sister's first vehicle came off a lot and was shiny red. Only the best for her.My entire eighth-grade summer was spent babysitting three kids, so I could buy new clothes at the start of the school year because once again, she needed something. That time it was the latest model of laptop and phone with the promise of going to college.Gloria never went, but they gave in.And now, here we were, celebrating her daughter's birthday while she was sneaking off here and there with Ivan.Enough was enough."What time are we cutting the cake?" Everyone but Dad watched me with surprised expressions - I was never in a hurry. He, on the other hand, gave me a subtle nod of approval which warmed my heart. This man understood me up to a certain capacity; his love was just to
Craving Sugar Chapter 28: Hendrix
HendrixI found her pout the entire way to our destination amusing.In the past, that kind of behavior would have turned me off. Made me dump whatever woman I'd picked up for the night at the earliest possibility. But with her, with Beau, I couldn't do that. Would not.And it had nothing to do with the contract that now connected us.Pulling into the valet parking of the marina, I exited without a word and walked swiftly to her door.A valet, no more than twenty, gaped at my car.Won't deny that I was out to impress and lower her walls. After all, I did coerce her into this contract with less than honorable intentions.Her pussy had made the negotiations for her. Fuck, I'd pay good money and will, just to have that tight little body under my control.However, my nymph once again didn't fit into the mold I'd lumped her in. Beau took one look at my car and shrugged, didn't give a flying one about being picked up in an all-black Bugatti Veyron for dinner.While our valet salivated, she
Craving Sugar Chapter 29: Hendrix
HendrixThe city's large buildings came into focus then, all lit up in an array of light. She snuggled in closer while taking another sip from her glass, and I followed her lead.Together we drank half the bottle before reaching the start of the seven-mile bridge."So, tell me about yourself, Miss Carter. Likes and dislikes." It was almost painful to hold in my laugh at how her eyes narrowed. "What makes you tick?""That's a question that might require a lengthy reply." Turning sideways in my lap, she curled her arm around the back of my neck. Fingers playing with the short hairs there. "You ready to sit here and be bored by that mumbo jumbo?"This time I laughed. "Find that hard to believe, nymph.""Tit for tat?" she whispered before kissing my cheek. "If I bleed, so do you. Embarrassing anecdotes get you extra points.""Deal." Bullshit.A waiter came out then, in his hands a large tray which he set on a little station near the table. Salad, a lobster bisque, and our entrees of Pan-
Craving Sugar Chapter 30: Hendrix
Hendrix"Is that the last of it?" Couldn't be right. Where were the rest of her belongings?The movers had come and unloaded her things within the span of forty minutes. Four boxes, two suitcases, some electronics, and an old-looking trunk that belonged on the curb, not inside my house.As a matter of fact, they spent more time smoking a cigarette outside near the curb than in my home."That's all of it." Beau looked confused by my question. "What more would I need for a six-month stay with you?"Ignoring her jab about the end date on this relationship, I walked over and opened the first box. It was all books. Everything from developmental and speech delays to a few raunchy romances.Her interest were vast, which impressed me.Beau didn't say anything as I grabbed that box and carried it deeper into my penthouse. Into my office and straight for the small desk I'd placed across from mine. Beside it there was a small bookshelf that looked similar to my own.Empty, just ready for her to

Craving Sugar Chapter 55: Epilogue
Epilogue"May I present to you the new Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Scott," the preacher announced, and everyone stood up to clap, watching as the happy couple and my favorite kiddo walked down the aisle as a new family. It was a thing of beauty, and we were blessed to welcome him into the family.In the six months that followed, he'd been a godsend. Calmed Gloria down. Made her happy. Truly happy for the first time in her life.She'd always loved Aubrey, but was missing something. Made her search for it in all the wrong places. Now I knew why; he was her person.Completed her.The cool breeze off the water swept through the small ceremony, causing a few to grumble about their hair. Not me. I welcomed the reprieve from the warm weather in the middle of winter.We just didn't do that holiday down here. Five days of fifty-degree weather, and then we were back to scorching. Was a blessing and curse.Everyone else walked inside and toward Hendrix's deck to await the next part of the festivities. St
Craving Sugar Chapter 54: Beau
Beau What the hell?Outside my window, someone was dying a tragic death. The wail of a wounded animal was more soothing than the crap that was coming through my thankfully closed window. I could only imagine how grotesque the sound would be if it were open."Shut up!" I yelled out into my empty bedroom, pissed that I was being pulled from my slumber. I'd been restless for days, ever since I walked out on Hendrix and took the Uber home. He was all I could think about.Was he okay?What triggered him?Did I really mean so little?Sure, he had called me these last few days trying to get a hold of me, but I deleted each voice or text without finding out what each contained. My heart couldn't take his berating. His demand of me to come back to his apartment as if nothing ever happened.Louder, the man sung his words of love and lost. Of finding his way back home, and I swear on all that's holy that I wanted to punch the love-sick fool.Better yet, how could I even hear this from my floor
Craving Sugar Chapter 53: Hendrix
HendrixJax left after a while, but his words still haunted me.She chose…And as much as it pained me to admit, she had. Her bags had been packed that night after I came home, accusing her of blatantly showing off her lover. Of forcing my hand when it came to our divorce. Ophelia had embarrassed me, and I'd been rightfully angry.Instead of apologizing, she accused me of using her. Of being neglectful when just a week prior, I'd taken her on vacation to Paris for fashion week. She asked, and I gave in time and time again.But I was the bad guy?"Fucking asshole," I hissed out, my head pounding - too much going through my mind and nothing was making sense. One moment I was furious, and the next, full of regret.Had I let her go instead of asking for time?Had I not questioned and just listened?You can't shoulder this blame alone anymore.Somewhere in the house, a buzz sound came on. It was loud. An alarm.My eyes shifted toward the windows and realized that dawn had arrived, and I'd
Craving Sugar Chapter 52: Hendrix
Hendrix"Where are you, Parker?" Jax stormed into the house, took one look at the room I was in, and cursed. "Are you kidding me with this shit? How dare you act out when you made the bed, you're currently lying in.""Just go. I want to be alone," I muttered loud enough that he heard. It was all the energy I had left. "Don't need you here to remind me that I fucked up with the person that mattered most."Bringing the almost empty bottle of scotch to my lips, I took a large gulp. My insides churned, the urge to destroy everything in my path overwhelming me once more.So far, the kitchen and dining room had taken the brunt of my ire. Shattered, the remains laid in tattered heaps all around me. The perfect simile to my life.I fucked everything that I touched.First Ophelia, and now Beau.Just thinking about them left me a confused and angry mess. I'd let my dick detract my attention from what mattered; the memory of my wife shouldn't be tainted by my lack of self-control.I shouldn't b
Craving Sugar Chapter 51: Beau
Beau "This is all my fault," Zoe said from her place beside me on my bed. We were on day two of my exile from humanity and sharing a carton of Rocky Road. Thank God her boyfriend had gone to Brazil to visit family last week and she'd decided to stay back. "Had I not pushed you to try the sugar lifestyle, we wouldn't be here gaining pounds and crying over every asshole in a romcom from the '90s.""Therapy wasn't meant to be pretty, dork." The phone beside me vibrated, and I looked down at the screen. His name flashed across it - attempt number twenty today to get a hold of me, and I let it go to voicemail. A minute later it chimed with a voice message…and then a text."Not that I'm trying to rush you or anything…" she trailed off, spoon full of chocolate halfway to her mouth."But I'm not ready to deal with him or his pompous attitude." Mimicking her action, I swiped another spoonful of yumminess. Wasn't going to deny myself of the sole thing making me happy. Ice cream was God at tha
Craving Sugar Chapter 50: Beau
Beau It hurt to breathe, every muscle in my body aching the further from him I got."We'll get through this," I mumbled to myself, exiting the Uber's car.My mind still replayed the words he'd said. The hate in his eyes. To him, I was scum at the bottom of his shoes, and it hurt.What I still didn't understand was the why of it all? And what was worse, I still worried about him.I shouldn't be. Fuck, I should be wishing him a thousand deaths, but I didn't. Had even sent Jax a text the moment the car came to pick me up. Asked him to be there for his best friend. To check on him.We'd been fine all morning and into the early afternoon. I had to physically push him out of the kitchen to get some work done. Hendrix had been frisky - playful.Wanted to touch me every chance he got, and then that phone conference happened.What went into that room and the man who came out were two very different people."About time you arrived, slut," Ruby's voice came from behind me, closer to me than wh
Craving Sugar Chapter 49: Hendrix
Hendrix"So, do we have a deal, Mr. Rossi?" We were back home in the Keys after a long week of busy schedules. Work was grueling, my plans to build a resort had been accepted by the city, while Beau finished signing up for next semester's classes. Our paths had crossed only to say good morning and an even quicker goodnight.That's why the second I wrapped up this phone conference, I was saying goodbye to work and enjoying our long weekend alone. Four days of fun in the sun with my nymph.Mine. And she was, even if she didn't realize it yet.The scent of spices and seafood wafted through the air vents, and my mouth watered. It took everything within me not to hang up and go cop a feel - then a taste of whatever she was creating.Beau was busy cooking for me today, and it was a remarkable sight. Her, in a short summer dress - feet bare and hips swaying to the island rhythms playing on the radio.Had to walk away before I fucked her. Not that she would complain, but my nymph wanted to s
Craving Sugar Chapter 48: Hendrix
Hendrix"Motherfuck." Heat. Indescribable soft heat enveloped me, and my balls tightened. Her fist grasped the base of my length, her fingers just touching at the tips, and she gave a twist. Followed the movement of her mouth with each stroke. "Jesus, babe. Too…fuck…tighten your hold."Up, down…twist. Repeat.Nymph looked up at me from beneath her lashes, her tongue flicking the slit. "Like this?" Using both hands, she jerked me twice before spitting on the head - used her saliva and my pre-come to fuck my cock with her fist."Suck my dick, Beau." Fingers embedded in her hair, I wrapped the strands around my hand and tugged her closer. "Be a good girl, and take me into the back of that pretty little throat of yours.""Yes, please," she moaned, abandoning my length to find purchase on my thighs. One hand held her up while she opened her mouth wide to hold me on her tongue. To feel the weight of me.It was perverse. A beautiful, depraved scene, and I loved every second of it.How easil
Craving Sugar Chapter 47: Hendrix
Hendrix"Ready to head out?" Beau came to a stop in front of me, catching me off guard. "My feet hurt, and I'm dying to get out of this dress." Her words reminded me of my earlier discovery: she was completely bare underneath. Her lithe body was just waiting for my cock. Swollen. Wet. Fucking delicious. "So, can we? Go, I mean.""Of course," My tone was deep, holding an edge of manic desperation that caused her pupils to dilate. "Follow me."I pulled her along behind me, was just to the edge of the entrance - dodging everyone who wished to speak with me - in my desire to reach the lobby and elevators.If Beau thought that we were going back home tonight, she was dead fucking wrong. I had plans for us, and they included being naked and the smell of sex permeating every single square inch of the presidential suite I'd rented for the night."Wait!" she called out over the music, her heels digging into the floor, forcing me to stop. "What about your award? I think Amber picked it up and
