I thought he was joking. I stood there staring at him for a full minute until I realized he wasn’t kidding. Only Jake would have me almost naked in his office and yet ask me to get dressed. I rolled my eyes but did as he asked when my phone started to buzz from where I had dropped it on the table.To say my ego was not bruised would have been a lie. I grabbed my things and was about to leave when he grabbed my upper arm and pulled me to a stop. I refused to look at him, it would have meant letting him see how I truly felt but it was Jake and he already knew.He dropped his lips to my ear. “Don’t make the mistake of thinking that this means I don’t want you. I want more than anything to cancel my appointments for the day and fuck you until we are both hoarse but my secretary will come up any minute and your dad is calling so you are going to take his files and go back to the office and we can continue this later, hm?”I nodded unable to say any words and he finally released me. He grab
I wasn’t sure what Jake had planned for tonight but I was excited. As soon as work was over, I found myself retouching my lipstick and smoothing out my hair before driving over to his house. Dad was not pleased to say the least, he wanted to know who I was spending most of my time with and we had a minor argument about it in the parking lot but he conceded after a while saying that I was an adult and was allowed to make my own choices. He did however add that he knew the commissioner should I need his help.I was just grateful that he wasn’t going through any extreme lengths to find out more. My dad could be very overprotective and sometimes his means did not always justify his intentions. When I was younger, he would run background checks on the families of everyone I called a friend. It was part of the reason I stopped bringing people over. I couldn’t explain how my father got to know about their parents childhood dog and the drug misdemeanor they had at eighteen.I arrived at Jake’
I didn’t know what I was expecting but I had braced myself for a spanking or something, Jake did nothing. He just stilled behind me before humming quietly to himself. I was still bent over the counter, my nipples grazing the cold surface as I tried to get a good look at his face. Without warning, he pushed me forward, keeping my eyes fixated on the wall in front of me.I didn’t like not being able to see his face and I was about to protest and say such when I felt one of his fingers tease the entrance of my pussy. I let out a strangled moan as he pushed in two thick fingers. He still kept his free hand at the back of my neck to keep me from moving. He pushed in to the knuckle before pulling them out.I whined at the loss of contact but before I could protest, he tugged my hair back and pushed those fingers into my open mouth. I tasted myself all over him and a small moan left my lips before I could stop it. Jake leaned forward so that his lips were brushing the shell of my ear.“Suck,
I was not the kind of person who liked having people in my space, especially not when I woke up but I was not complaining when I woke up to Jake’s stubble tickling my cheeks as he pressed soft kisses onto my shoulders and collarbone.Once he realized I was awake, he managed to pull me out of bed long enough to get cleaned while he made breakfast. There was something entire erotic about seeing a man cooking for you and it was a miracle I wasn’t all over him. The only thing that kept me in place was the reminder that I had work and I needed to be home so I could get changed.“If you had clothes here then it wouldn’t be a problem,” he shrugged and I raised a brow.“Is that your way of asking me to move in with you?”“Not yet, before that happens I would still have to talk to your father and we both aren’t ready for that,” I couldn’t help but cringe when I tried to figure out how my dad would react to the news. Whatever it was, I knew it wouldn’t be good. “I’m just saying that it would sa
Jake was quiet. He stared at the photos but his expression gave away nothing. I hated how he managed to look so unfazed while there was a war going on inside of me. Those pictures could potentially ruin me and my father. We were not just innocently standing or holding hands. He was kissing me in the elevator and in front of my car.“I look like a whore,” I announced and his eyes snapped up to me. “He could have at least gotten a better angle where my ass was not on display for the entire fucking world. I would have preferred that, at least then I would know that-”“Stop, please,” he sounded exasperated. “You are not a whore and you need to stop fucking saying that.”“I am only preparing for what I am inevitably going to hear when he takes this to the press,” I pointed to the pictures in case he didn’t see them well the first time. “This is me and this is you and we are doing the fucking horizontal tango or whatever the hell you want to call it. My reputation is on the line here. You w
After the call with my father, I felt extremely exhausted. I felt like all the energy in me had been completely drawn out. Jake must have noticed because the next thing he did was to pick me up and place me in his lap. I curled up into a ball and just enjoyed the warmth of his skin. Neither of us spoke, he turned his attention to his laptop in front of him typing away furiously while I just stayed pressed up against him.Ever so often, he would place a soft kiss against my forehead and whisper words in a foreign language against my skin but that was about as much as he did but it was more than enough for me. I fisted his shirt and although sleep wouldn’t take me because of how worried I was, I felt slightly content.I didn’t mean to but I kept glancing at the clock. It was nearing eight p.m. and I was slightly amazed that my father was yet to call. He sounded worried earlier and I knew it was only a matter of time before my phone started blowing up. I shuffled in Jake’s lap and he loo
Charles followed me without any hesitation. I could feel the smugness in his step, he was happy with what he had done. Some sick and twisted part of him was proud that he had gotten me at such an intimate time. Once we were safely in the maintenance room, I looked around to make sure there was no one near who could overhear us before slamming the door shut.“What the hell was that?” I asked but his smile never eased. “Why the hell were you even following me?”“Is that really what you are going to ask first?” he mused. “I knew you were a whore, Hayley, but I didn’t realize it was this bad. Isn’t it bad enough to live off daddy’s name? You want to fuck an older man to get ahead now. I have to say, you are one shrewd-”A loud crack resounded through the room as I slapped him across the face. “Talk to me like that again, I fucking dare you.”He just stared at me with anger burning in his eyes. I probably shouldn’t have infuriated the man who had incriminating pictures of me but I was past
I hadn’t realized how much I missed spending time with my dad until we went out for dinner. With everything that had been going on with Jake and my grandmother, it was a miracle if we even got five minutes to ourselves on a daily basis. We lived in the same house but we were practically like roommates and I had missed him.“Are you ready to tell me about the guy that you are seeing?” he asked and I snorted. “I promise not to get mad, I just want to know who this guy is and if he is good enough for you.”“He is, you trained me well and I know how to pick good men.”He raised a brow. “Do you not remember that prep boy from college? The one that only spoke about how he wanted a house wife like his mother and how he was going to be president in the next five years?”I laughed so hard at that I snorted out my drink. “In my defense, I didn’t date him, we were just talking.”“That isn’t what he told everyone. I was responding to messages about the both of you for weeks after you let him down
HAYLEY’S P.O.VIt took me weeks to finally feel comfortable enough to leave the house without an army behind me.It was so easy to pretend to the public, to put on a smile and act like things were fine when in reality, they weren’t. The only people who saw the real me were my family. They saw every breakdown, every nervous wreck, every tear. A few years ago, I would have hated the idea of anyone seeing me weak but now, I was glad to have people I could lean on.It took months, but I was fine now. Marie was convicted of Charles’ murder as well as the other two and my kidnapping. She was never getting out of jail for the rest of her life and the thought made me giddy.“Stop watching the sentencing,” Kate chided, turning off the TV. “It’s over now.”I rolled my eyes at her. “It relaxes me.”She raised a brow. “A court case relaxes you?”“If I was allowed to go to work, I wouldn’t need to watch the sentencing,”She stared at me incredulously. “You’re ready to pop. There’s no way in hell th
HAYLEY’S P.O.VThere was a loud beeping sound somewhere at the back of my mind and it just wouldn’t go away.My head felt foggy and my body felt like it was weighed down by a fucking tractor, but against all odds, I managed to pull my eyes open.Voices overlapped as I tried to figure out where I was.The walls were white and there were machines next to me, I could see Jake and my father speaking to a woman in a white coat- a doctor. A small groan left my lips and all eyes turned to me.“Baby,” Jake’s voice cracked as he made his way over to me. His eyes were dull and hollow as he rushed to my side, his hand softly stroking my cheek. “How do you feel?”“Like I was run over,” I mumbled. “What happened?”“Marie took you.”I nodded slowly. “I remember that. I remember running in the forest.”“We were calling out to you. You slipped and rolled down a hill.”The memories came flooding back. My head was pounding as if someone had taken a sledgehammer to it but all I could feel was fear and w
HAYLEY’S P.O.VI watched Marie making her way over to me, a smoking gun in one hand and the other on her hip.She was dressed in black leggings and a loose shirt. She surprisingly looked good for someone who had just shot two men in cold blood.“Don’t look so terrified. You’ve witnessed a murder too, haven’t you?”I swallowed. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”She snorted. “Please, I’ve been alive far longer than you have. I know all about the boy that was thirsting after you and his body that was found.”“Again, I don’t know what-”She aimed the gun right at my face. “Lie to me again, I dare you.”I didn’t dare speak, I just stared straight at her and forced my expression to neutral. She was crazy, far crazier than Jake had led me to imagine. I couldn’t help but wonder if this was a recent development or if she had always been this insane.“I thought so,” she mumbled before lowering the gun. “Do you know what this is?”When I said nothing, she made her way over to me and grab
HAYLEY’S P.O.VWe spent three magnificent days in Paris without any disturbance from anyone.It was just us, going out, fucking until the sun rose and eating good food. It was the best time I had in a long time but as always, every good thing must come to an end.I lay across Jake’s chest asleep when my phone rang loud. I mumbled a small curse under my breath, reaching out to silence the call. I hoped that whoever it was would take the hint and stop calling but my phone rang again.“Do you want me to answer it?” Jake asked but I shook my head, grabbing the phone blindly and picking up.“Hello?”“Where’s Jake?” my father’s panicked voice filled my ears.“He’s right here. Why didn’t you call him?”“I did, the bastard probably has his phone on do not disturb. I need to talk to him.”I handed the phone to Jake, trying to figure out what it could be that would make dad worry this much. “It’s dad.”Jake was up in a second, the sleep gone from his eyes as he took the phone from me. I couldn’
HAYLEY’S P.O.VA hand brushed my hair over my shoulder and warm lips placed open mouthed kisses on my throat and collar bone.I mumbled something incoherent and nestled closer to the warmth. I was too comfortable to move or open my eyes. I just wanted to enjoy the extra soft sheets underneath me and the warm hands on my skin.“As much as I want to get in bed with you, baby girl, you need to eat,” Jake whispered, his hand trailing down my side. “You’ve been asleep for too long.”“How long?”“Hours.”I forced my eyes open and found him seated behind me. He smiled softly at me and pulled back. I missed his warmth instantly, missed the feel of him next to me. He was dressed already, in a plain t-shirt and sweats.A quick glance at the window told me just how late it was.I couldn’t remember much from before I fell asleep. I remembered getting out of the shower and Jake settling between my thighs. I remembered him eating my cunt until I sobbed for reprieve and I remembered him fucking me f
HAYLEY’S P.O.VMy skin buzzed with excitement as we walked into our hotel room.I still couldn’t believe that he had done this. It was one thing to plan a vacation and it was another to plan it without me knowing and get me to the airport all while I had no idea what was going on.The hotel room was beautiful. It had its own living room and the room was so large that I took a double take. Jake stood behind me, one hand on my hip as I took in the room. I could almost feel his smile against my hair.“You’re quiet, I’m going to assume that you’re impressed,” he drawled, his voice dripping with amusement.“This is amazing,” I breathed turning to him. “How long are we here?”“The plan is one week, but we can stay longer if you want.”I was so overwhelmed that I couldn’t help but lean on my toes and kiss him. “Thank you.”I kissed him again and this time, he pulled me close, one hand tangling in my hair to kiss me deeper. I felt the kiss all the way to my toes as my head emptied of all thou
HAYLEY’S P.O.VI was bursting with excitement the next morning.I had no idea where we were going, but I was excited.I woke up to Jake whispering sweet nothings as he placed a soft kiss on my shoulder. When I didn’t stir, he carried me into the bathroom where he ran a soft bath for us. It took far longer than it should have for us to get out of the bathroom but I wasn’t complaining.Once that was done, he all but pulled me into the car. He was yet to tell me where we were going and with each passing second, my curiosity seemed to grow.We stopped at a café and my brows rose. “Is this where we’re going?”He snorted. “Not a chance, but we have to get you coffee first.”He didn’t say anything after that, choosing instead to help me out of the car.The inside of the cafe was beautiful, and I was shocked that I had never noticed it before. The interior was a beautiful cream color, with artwork and plants hanging on every wall. It looked expensive- felt expensive even.He placed our order
HAYLEY’S P.O.VAfter our quickie, we managed to get our clothes off and go at it again.I lay sprawled on his chest, one hand mindlessly stroking my hair while the other drew circles on my lower back. We were yet to talk about what happened with the officer. I wasn’t stupid, I knew there was more to it than what he told me.“Jake,” I began slowly. “Are you going to tell me the truth about why the officer was here?”There was silence for a full minute.“No.”I turned to him. “No?”“The less you know, the better. All you need to know is that they will never know what happened. Everything is going to be fine, I promise.”“You shouldn’t make promises like that. Anything could happen. You don’t get to go to jail, not now that-”I exhaled deeply.Maybe it was selfish of me to think this way. Charles was someone’s child after all and I could only imagine the worry and pain his mother was going through but I wasn’t selfless enough to give her closure at my own detriment.“I want this Charles
HAYLEY’S P.O.VKate was panicking and it was pissing me off.It wasn’t that I didn’t empathize with her- I did. I couldn’t begin to imagine how she felt in the moment. I was just strung up as it was and she was making it worse.“Are you alright?” she asked for what felt like the tenth time in one minute and I nodded.I sat on the cold bathroom floor, my hands on the toilet seat simply because I didn’t have the energy to move. My stomach was still churning and my head was pounding like crazy. The last thing I wanted was to get up and throw up again.“Do you need me to call Jake?” she began before stopping herself. “He’s with the police, of course I can’t call him. Perhaps I could pull your dad out?”“Dad is his lawyer,” I cut her off. “They have to be together.”“Should I call an ambulance?”“I threw up, I’m not dying,” I dragged myself to my feet slowly and made my way over to the sink to clean up.I hated the after taste that vomit left in my mouth more than anything.Behind me, Kate
