Beau"Want to tell me now why you decided to stay here for the night?"I jumped, not expecting him to still be here. "Do I have to?"In the light of day, it seemed pathetic that I reacted the way I did to Gloria's proposal and the smoothness in which Ivan was accepted into the family.For a moment there, I felt as if I were a spectator, rather than family."Come sit with me, nymph." Hendrix grabbed my hand in his, while balancing a large cup of coffee with his other. I eyed that cup with longing, even let out a small whimper, which caused him to laugh. "Made it for you, whiny. Wouldn't dream of having any kind of conversation without caffeine in your system…know better.""You're smarter than you look, grouch."He looked back at me from over his shoulder, hazel eyes narrowed. "What's with the nickname all of a sudden?""If the shoe fits…hey!" I yelled out, suddenly airborne before being settled on his lap, my head tucked under his chin. "I'm going to sue you for all the manhandling an
Beau "I can do this," was my mantra once more.The woman reflected at me in the mirror was different. Poised and elegant, I'd even venture to say beautiful in a vain way. She was everything I always knew I could be, and yet, the tremor in my hand belonged to the fear I couldn't bury in the sand.I can do this.I can do this.I can do this.Picking up the red lipstick that Zoe demanded I use for tonight, I touched up my mouth. Over the last ten minutes I had picked up the habit of biting my lip and licking them excessively. The poor shade of red had turned into nothing more than a stain by that point."I can do this." Obsessed, I checked to make sure my lashes were coated with mascara, that there were no smudges beneath my eyes, and that no contour line was visible.My hair had been given a loose, fishtail braid across the top which then blended at the side of my neck into a messy knot. A few curls had been left undone. It was pretty, left most of my neck and back exposed for Hendrix
Beau"We should leave." I hated the way my voice betrayed the cool demeanor I tried to feign. "At this rate, we'll be late no matter what.""If you insist, Miss Carter.""I do." Turning around, I reached for the panel and pressed the garage's button. Ignored the mounting tension - how wet and swollen I already was for him. It was better that way.Waiting for us downstairs was a car I'd never seen before. Sleek and ostentatious. Sexy. I recognized the Porsche emblem at once, but not the model."Glad you approve." Hendrix walked around me to open the door, helped me slip inside without hurting the long skirt of my dress. With ease, he strapped me in and then went around to his side. Got in.Silver; a two-seater with more buttons inside than I was used to. The center console was something I'd never seen before, modern and with touch screen technology for everything. Was almost afraid to sit inside of it.The car rumbled; a strong engine roared while he put it in drive and took off down
Hendrix"Close your mouth, Parker, or you'll attract flies." Jax and entourage was taking up half my table. My personal guest to this idiotic show of wealth. Pissed me off that I had to give up my night to deal with the likes of Henry and friends.This event wasn't for charity, each dime shelled out covering tonight's bill hosted by the city and its officials.The sole bright side to tonight was getting to see Beau all dressed up in a sinfully decadent gown that so far had turned every head in attendance tonight. The front, though conservative, was molded onto her every curve and dip. Outlined the perkiness of her breasts - the flared of those hips I loved to grasp while stroking in deep.Then you had that split, it gave you a glimpse of mile-long legs in a pair of gold heels.And even then, nothing compared to the view from behind.Skin. Soft. Mine.Bare; a temptation to take her. Fuck my DNA into her system until she'd forever bear a mark of me within her blood.What this little gi
Hendrix"Be back." A relieved breath left me and I stood, kissed my nymph's forehead, and walked toward the front. People around me clapped, some even held a hand out for me to shake.It was all a blur.Standing on that stage, I looked at the sea of people as I spoke. Tried to focus on thanking them for the recognition - mentioning my staff for all their hard work and dedication, which made H. P. Builders a success.Yet every few seconds I strayed. Always back to her.To that beaming smile.The look of pride in her eyes.How motherfucking beautiful she was.The words like a moth to a flame had never rang truer then at that moment.Shaking the governor's hand, I stood there for a few seconds after, while they captured their photo-op. Smiled, while my mind and body fought for control. Dominion over my actions.One wanted to run away, while the other just needed her close. A rollercoaster of emotions that drowned me behind the pressure of indecision."Hendrix, if you have a second - "M
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
