**Ellis POVI stood on the steel beam of the skyscraper and looked out across the city skyline. It looked fascinating to me. I had taken over this project after Bennett Klein’s disappearance and had been working on it for weeks. Being away from Olivia made it feel like a long time. But I was proud of the progress that had been made. The building was nearly complete. The project was on time and on budget. Pretty amazing if you ask me. That doesn't always happen. I was confident that I would be able to hand it over to the city in just a few more weeks.I walked through the skyscraper, admiring the view of the city from the upper floors. The air was crisp and clear, the sun just beginning to set. I felt a sense of pride. I knew it would be a beautiful addition to the skyline.I checked my watch and continued my inspection. Even though I had a nagging feeling in the back of my mind. Something I had forgotten. I shook it off and kept walking. Then my phone buzzed.It was a text from O
**Ellis POV Watching Olivia unbuckle my pants and remove my c*ck made me feel hot and hard. Her hand moved up and down the shaft. I moaned as I reached my hand up to her groin. My hand caressed her sweet p*ssy. I still enjoyed sucking and nibbling on her neck. Between my hand and Olivia's, we managed to pull her panties off her. Since she wore a dress, it was easy access for me. She spread her thighs and let my fingers guide around her sweet spot. Her hand still moved around on my shaft. My c*ck got harder with each stroke of her hand. Olivia moaned as I rubbed her faster and kissed her curvy baby bump. I could feel the heat and warmth coming from her pit of fire. Hearing her moan made me hotter as I slid my fingers into her. I could feel her juices on my fingers. I moved my fingers deeper inside her. I moved them faster with each thrust. I trailed my lips to Olivia’s mouth and then kissed her with passion. We twirled our tongues around inside each other’s mouths. Her hand stil
Grandpa Herman continued on. Sometimes decent people do wrong things in life. Tons of reasons or issues can factor in on that person's behavior. It's not right, but some folks do stuff wrong when they are hurting inside," he said with a serious expression. "Your son didn't get much attention from you. He needs your attention now, Ellis.”"So, you honestly think that giving him attention will help, Grandfather?" I asked.He nodded. "I think so.""So, what do you suggest?"He continued his speech. "Make him too busy to do illegal things. Make an effort to get to know him better. Find out more about his past. Maybe his past was dark and he doesn't know how to respect women. Try to be understanding and supportive of Carl. Try to give him advice. Maybe even good business advice. Heck, maybe even help him start a business here. That might help a lot too. What do you think of that idea?"I really hated that idea. I would have to help my son with a business and would have to trust him t
Olivia POVEllis and I peered out the window in the bedroom of our estate. Holding hands while watching the sun slowly settle into the horizon felt romantic and beautiful to me. I couldn't help but smile. I leaned into Ellis and I could feel his arm wrap around me. But he still held onto my hand. I enjoyed our time together. Even if we did absolutely nothing. It had been several weeks now since we last saw Carl. But Ellis did make that dreadful phone call to his son. I listened as Ellis invited his son to come stay here with us. We waited for him to show up. I still felt nervous and anxious about it. After all, Carl did say some weird and creepy things to me last time. Without a doubt in my mind, I knew this reunion would be awkward. I didn't know what to expect and I knew Ellis didn't know either. I placed my hand on Ellis’ shoulder and could feel his body tense up. Hearing him sigh loudly and feeling his body start to shake made me feel the anxiety radiating off of him. But wi
I couldn’t take my eyes from Bethany’s baby bump as I rested a hand on my own. “Yeah,” I said, still in shock to see her, my voice was barely audible. “You look well,” Bethany said. She gave me a sly smile. “ I shifted uncomfortably and didn’t say anything. “What do you want?” I asked. “I mean I thought you were in prison.” “I found out I was pregnant just before my trial. When I found out I was pregnant, the judge took pity on me and granted me early release on parole. I had to take parenting classes and I must remain on probation for a few years, but for now I am free and I want to be a good mother.” “That’s…incredible,” I said. “I just don’t understand why you are here.” Bethany grinned, “I came to see Carl.” I cocked my head in confusion. "You want to see Carl? Why?""You will find out soon enough." Bethany giggled at my shocked expression.Then I saw Carl rushing in. Carl’s face lit up when he saw Bethany. He ran to her and embraced her. For a moment, I thoug
**EllisI woke up before six in the morning. I didn’t mind. Especially since I was more of a morning person anyway. I liked being up early in the morning to get ready for the day ahead. As I lay there on the bed, I did still feel a sense of heaviness as I thought about my son. Who now stayed with me since I asked him to come here. Now I just wonder how things would go for all of us. It’s now been two days since Carl and Bathany came to live with us in the Peterson estate.I closed my eyes and thought of the long day ahead. The tour of the building projects I had going on in the city, followed by a visit to the office in the afternoon to read over rules and codes with Carl would certainly be an all day task. It would be a new experience for both of us. I opened my eyes and rose from the bed. I felt a pull of anticipation in my chest.Olivia was still asleep when I finally finished getting dressed. I took my time putting on my suit and then I leaned down and kissed her cheek. I smi
**Olivia POV I awoke to the sounds of morning. Birds chirping outside, the small breeze of fresh air running through the open window, and the tree branches swaying along beside the windows. But the empty space over to my other side was nothing sweet to look at. Obviously because my husband wasn't lying there beside me. The quiet loneliness came rushing to me once again. That comes with being the only one in bed. The sun was already out, its glorious rays spilled through the curtains. I lay there for a moment. Just to relax. My eyes were closed and my heart felt heavy with the knowledge that Ellis had left as usual without waking me to say goodbye. But then I refused to let this moment be one of heartache and decided to make the best of the day. Throwing off the covers, I quickly got dressed. I went to Ken's room and saw him sitting up in bed. Seeing my son gave me joy. I went over and sat down on his bed. I smiled at him and reached my arms out. Ken smiled back at me as he wrap
**Olivia POV I spent several days thinking about the strange incident with Bethany. I didn’t like her attitude towards me or the fact that she thought she could disrespect me in my own house. I heard from Ellis how well things were going with Carl at work so I wanted to give Bethany another chance.But still, I realized I had to get Bethany under control or else she would get worse and there would be no other solution than making her leave. There was no other way around it. This could not continue. I knew that I didn’t deserve all of those rude comments from her. It was mid afternoon when I stepped into the living room to find Bethany there. I felt the tension immediately. Bethany was sitting on the sofa, thumbing through a magazine, I could tell she knew I was there but she didn’t bother to even look my way as I walked towards her. While I walked, Bethany continued avoiding my gaze. She didn't make eye contact with me whatsoever and I even felt as if she were trying to turn away fro
