Camille's POV
It's been three weeks since that fateful night... The night I saw heaven for the first time and convulsed with pleasure at its gates. And as I stared at the test kit before me in the little space James and I have occupied for the past two months and two weeks, my heart pierced with the realization of what I have done. Shame and excitement threatened my sanity as i pondered on what the result meant for both of us – James and I. It could either be the beginning or the end of our wonderful union. All this years we spent working on each other and building the safest nest around ourselves even without children. Now a storm threatened the hold of this nest, and I wondered just how far our love for each other could hold us together. I wanted to scream with excitement at the prospect of finally holding my own baby, but at the same time I remember whose it is and my body quaked with shame. I AM PREGNANT! Pregnant for a stranger I do not know after just one night of mind blowing sex, one night I know I will never forget even in my dreams. Yes, I still dream of him, and I go home frequently now to pleasure myself at the very thought of him, at the thought of those dark eyes that held mine as he trashed into me with the zeal of someone paying homage to his god. I had not planned for that night to end the way it did, but being in the midst of all those strangers I know I will never meet again gave me a sense of mystery and a new identity. Isn't it said that whatever happens in Vegas, remains in Vegas? And so I drowned every shot of tequila that passed my way until I could feel my body light up with every ounce of confidence I have and that which I never even knew I had. Then I saw him. Irrespective of more than a hundred men in the club, it was he who I saw. He was sited at the bar with his eyes roaming the room and I waited a minute to see if he had come with someone. It took Helen nudging me forward when she noticed where my attention was to finally go make a move, I was surprised then when she came latter to try to convince me to go home. What was more shocking was the ease with which I flirted with him, and even more appealing was the discomfort in his pant which he tried to hide – it gave me more confidence. The last minute decision to return with him to his hotel room was made when I excused myself to use the restroom and he imagined that to be a sign for him to follow me, and after a quickie in the bathroom he whispered with a raspy pleading voice that made my muscles melt in his hold, 'what do you say we take this to my room?...please' he pleaded and the idea of someone begging to be with me sent hot flashes of liquid between my thighs. And here I am, not only basking in the memories of that night, but also in the present it left in me. I came back from Vegas with its secrets after all. After eleven years, I finally have a tiny thing growing in my belly, a part of me. I didn't want to worry myself yet with what James will think of me when he finally comes around – the fact that I left his side to go fuck a stranger just in two months of his absence. I didn't want to think of what his family will think of me as well. We will definitely get past that when the time comes. Maybe we will also talk about how it took a stranger just one night to get me pregnant, while I spent eleven years with my husband and never took in. I was so excited that I wanted to go to the hall and scream to everyone that I am pregnant, I wasn't the barren woman my in laws thought I was, but no one will understand, everyone will judge me for leaving my husband's side to go get fucked. It wasn't so hard to realize something was off when I missed my monthly flow by two weeks. I let the thought of that night wash through me again, the night that changed everything for me. The night I drank so much and let myself make all the mistakes I would only watch others make from afar, I could never get over the surprise on his face and the way his eyes darkened with pleasure as I grinned my waist on his, the way he held my ass like he will die if I ever stopped. That was all I needed to go harder, to let myself loose completely in his strong hold. Shame flooded me as I thought of James lying there, helpless in front of me and all I could do was think of the man I had cheated with. A man I secretly wished I would see again. My thoughts were interrupted when a nurse's head popped through the door to get my attention. 'Someone is here to see Mr. James.' she announced and I am sure she notices the surprise on my face because she went on to assure me it was James Parker. I told her to let the visitor in and while I was still wandering who the visitor could be, I noticed the nurse return with a figure following behind. The ripple mirrored door hid their face but I was sure the tall figure that followed her was that of a man. When they finally came in to the room and the nurse moved aside to reveal the visitor, my heart stopped dead in it's tracks. My mind raced with surprise and uncertainties as I stared at the man in front of me. I must be dreaming, no fucking way is this real. This can not be happening.SCOTTYou have to be shitting me.Someone please smack my ass out of this weird dream.But the anxious rubbing of my hands confirms that this is no damn dream. This is one hundred percent reality.This is real! This is so fucking real! And I definitely do not want to wake up from it if it was a dream anyway.I am standing in the same room with the same woman who has haunted my mind and senses since the fateful night she took me on the ride to pleasure island – one I have never been to.For a moment I forget what really brought me here until the silence in the room makes the humming noise and beep of machines very obvious.JACKPOT!What a lucky guy I must be.I finally found my runaway cousin and my one night stand angel.'Ma'am this is Mr. Liam Scott, and Mr Scott this is Mrs Parker' the nurse introduces us briefly, snapping me out of my state of shock into a whole new one.Mrs what now?As in married Parker? I am sure I didn't get that right.When a couple of seconds pass and we – ma
CAMILLEI am not sure which, but it is either my sex starved pussy or my throbbing heart which doesn't seem to know how to control blood flow in the presence of this new man that is making decisions for me now.My sane mind has nothing to do with initiating a date – that is what this is right? - with this man.Or maybe it does but I am too flushed to even think straight.More embarrassed was I by the knowing smile that slipped up the corner of his beautiful face when I shamelessly asked for more of his time, before he said,'Tomorrow evening, same address as the first time. I do not know a lot of places around here you know' he adds with an anxious chuckle.Gosh, that smile does things to my insides.I just want us to discuss this business deal he had with James, heaven knows we desperately need the financial aid that might come with.Stop fooling yourself Camille, you know you want more of that d.I cover my face with my hands and sink back into the chair Scott recently vacated.Here
CAMILLEHe is not here.It's been an hour and he's not here. Okay probably just a couple of minutes but who the hell makes a woman wait after that look he gave me at the hospital like a man who couldn't wait to have his eyes feasting on me again?Am I imagining things now too?What were you thinking Cam? That you will just meet a guy and after one hell of an amazing night of spell bounding sex you will become important to him?I just want to discuss business...I just want to discuss the goddamn business he had with James. I keep repeating over and over again in my mind until my muscles relax.I take a look around the room and gawk at the entrance for a while, hoping to see him walk past those bouncers before I change my already freaked mind.'Looking for someone?'The rich domineering voice unsettles me and relaxes my nerves at the same time.I want to be like any woman and show my annoyance at being kept waiting like some street girl, but I couldn't help it while my eyes feasted on
SCOTTI know who she is now.I shouldn't mind but the jeering reality is something I have blocked my mind from accepting since from the hospital.She is Jame's wife.My cousin's wife.I came to this conclusion when she reached for a strawberry coated doughnut and I noticed the fresh skin around her wedding finger.I mean that also explains the “Mrs Parker” and the fact that she is stuck to his bedside in the absence of no one else.This should change the way I feel and every dirty fantasy I have pictured with her in it, but the way she looked at me when I licked my fingers made fucking my cousin's wife feel so normal.Now she wants to know about her husband's business deals. Seems like there is some secret business going on between husband and wife after all.One I am not going to spill.'Why? It might be confidential' I reply matter of factly, daring her to tell me why she really wants to know.‘Confidential? What? Is it like some undercover thing or illegal business' she asked with
CAMILLEWhat was I thinking?Was I even thinking at all?Since the first time I set my eyes on him in that club, I have long given up cull control of my brain. The lustful fellow below my abdomen has been making every decision involving Scott for me.But after this night, I am taking back full responsibility of my brain and whole body.Shame, guilt and rage were my only companions as I ordered a ride home through tear glistening eyes.I should have been beside my husband like the loyal and dutiful wife Pastor Jerry spoke about some weeks ago in church, but here I am feeling disappointed because a man I just threw myself at like a cheap doll just sent me back to where I belong.Does he know who I am? Is that why he moved away from me like I was carrying a contagious disease?He knows James, he might also know James has a wife.Or did James forget to tell him he had a wife just as he forgot to tell me about some secret business.As I sat in the car six minutes later on my way home, my m
CAMILLEThe silence between us is all the comfort Helen needs.Being friends for the past seventeen years has built something between us that is beyond sisterhood. Twins? - that's the only word that comes close.'You know I caught him cheating right?' she pauses to give a painful chuckle, I am not surprised with the revelation. I have always known she was better off without Tyler as much as she thought the same about James and I.'Right before Emma was born. I was working my ass off to pay the bills and save up for our son and the baby on the way and he was in there with another woman in the living room. She sniffled and I wrapped my palms around hers.'I gave birth to Emma that same day and when I held my baby in my arms, nothing else mattered. It was easy to forget what he had done while I held that miracle in my arms' She turned to look at me then and maybe the tears in my eyes gave her the wrong impression.'I am so sorry Cam, I shouldn't be saying this to you right now' she says
SCOTTI thought I had gone past this.But here I am falling into the same abyss that caused me my sanity a few years ago.How could I have known that this little fun will get here, will bring back memories of Lucile.My Belle, My Lucille.I get off the bed and cork my head to the side to look at the two girls sleeping soundly on the bed, and I cannot wait to get rid of them.I needed to get her off my mind, but it didn't work.It's been two days since that night by the pond.Now here I am battling between the thoughts of two women, not sure whose memory I want to erase.I didn't bargain for this, it was just supposed to be a one night fling.Walking to the bathroom, I turn on the shower and let the cold icy splash caress my skin.Long hours with the girls doing all they could do best but still didn't get the release I desperately needed. I still felt heavy with unquenched lust, and I knew I couldn't sleep better if I didn't remedy that.Who am I kidding? I know for sure that I would n
CAMILLEWhat the hell is he doing here? And at this time too?I check the time on my cell phone to be sure and it's really just six twelve in the morning.Who even let him in?And why is he talking to...Oh my god! I hurry over to James' side to see if he is really awake. But just like everyday of the past two months, he is still unconscious and looks just as pale as always.So who the hell was he talking to? I know for sure that I didn't imagine the voice when I walked in.I turned my full gaze on him and waited for his response, but when he didn't say anything but just stared at me like a child caught right in the act of doing something wrong, I had to directly ask?'What are you doing here and who let you in here this early? Who were you even talking to? Are you one of those crazy dudes?'I take a break from my questions and wait for him to start answering, and it better be convincing enough.'Okay, I definitely have to answer that one at a time, where do I start from?' he opens h
CAMILLEI need to get out of here.I need to get away from all this mess.But where do I go, that his memory won't go with me. What privacy will I get if he is stuck in my mind like this?I even carry him in my womb, how about that?It's a good thing Charlotte is here, she can decide to take care of her brother or bail on him again, but for me I need to leave this place.I ignore her calls as I get up to leave as I have no valid explanation to give.What will I say?I have been having sex outside my marriage with no other person but your cousin. Not only that I happen to also be pregnant for him.If I had not earned enough name in their book then “brother fucker” seems like a good name.How do I even say that the pain I feel right now is partly because I wish he was here with me, that I didn't kick him out the way I did.Gosh, this is so fucked up.I take in a long breath once I am outside the hospital, filling my empty lungs with breath, trying to remind them just how to inhale and e
SCOTTShe had no right to do that.I understand that she is tense at the moment but shrugging me off like that was very uncalled for.It hurt me pretty bad.I was already dealing with the jealousy and envy brewing in me as I watched her go crazy over another man. I can not stand her giving me the cold treatment too like it is my fault.No matter how much she wants to blame someone for the turn of events it should not be this way.She made up her mind to go out with me, to keep seeing me, and irrespective of my past track records I never for one moment forced her into anything at all she didn't want.By the way I should be the one who is mad at her after that outburst about her husband. I should be pissed that she did not tell me earlier until she said it out loud to the nurse out of frustration.But I guess I was not so surprised considering that I already knew a long time ago.So where is this coming from?I should be heading home, at least I have driven her here as I had planned an
CAMILLE I would be grateful if he left. It has been more than an hour of moving from one room to another to run blood tests and not once did I catch sight of Scott. He must have taken the hint when I shrugged him off and left. But his absence disturbs me and every once in a while I will look around to see if he is somewhere in the corner. Maybe if Helen is here with me I would not be so concerned about Scott. Right now I just need company, someone to assure me that everything will be alright and pretty soon too. The results do not take long to come out and just as I had feared, it turned out negative. I had already placed a call to Charlotte - one of James' sisters – to come in urgently and she had ended the call with a promise to be here in twenty minutes. Thirty-five minutes gone and I wish I had never called her in the first place. While I scroll aimlessly through my phone, I catch a familiar scent I have come to know so swell and my heart registered his presence
CAMILLEI tried to steady my hands as I scurried towards the restroom, but it shook so badly that I could not open the door.A hand covered mine on the door knob and opened the door, and the relief that gave me was short-lived once I opened the door and peered in only to find it empty.I run into the hallway towards the nurses unit, my mind so occupied with several thoughts that I actually run past a nurse until she calls me back.I hurry back towards her and hold her arms firmly while I barrage her with questions, not sure how firmly until Scott puts his hands on mine again and looks at me, his eyes instructing me to stay calm.'Where is he, is he okay?' My voice trembled so badly that I wondered if it really did belong to me.'I was wondering where you went and when you will be back Mrs Parker'. She cast a suspicious stare between Scott and I but I did not let my mind dwell on that for long.'I just went out to grab a couple of things, my bad''You were gone since last-' 'Are you g
CAMILLESleep for the first time eludes me.I stayed awake instead to admire that prince charming in front of me until it got too late and I remembered my husband.Shit! I have been away for more than twenty-four hours. I need to head back now.I scuffle from his hold and search for new clothes in my wardrobe.I have not done laundry in a while and everything stinks.SHIT!'Where are you going?' Scott's sleepy husky voice calms my nerves and disturbs me as well, making me remember the dream I had – too bad that it qualifies for a nightmare.His voice calls to me and I wish I could hurdle back in his arms as long as I can, and enjoy this abominable thing we share.It is hard to tell why I am really attracted to him, why I feel the way I do with him in a way I have not felt with anyone else. Not even James.Maybe I am just drawn to him because he is my baby daddy, or because he is just so damn cute and irresistible.'I have to get to the hospital' he groans in response and I feel a litt
CAMILLEnever come across a man who is so jealous and scared to lose me.Maybe James would be if he finds out another man is making his wife feel things in a way she has not felt with him.Maybe we were just so focused on ourselves and our family, and never thought about what it would look like if someone else came between us.But this man knows me for less than two months and he can't stand the thought of another man close to me.It makes me want him in ways I have never wanted anyone else. It makes me want to surrender myself to him and assure him that I am all his, and his alone.But I can't.His eyes widened in curiosity of what I want to do as I straddle him, this is not the reply he expected.I can't tell him what he wants to hear because I am sealed to someone else in holy matrimony, but I will show him what could have been if I was not.Damn it Camille, there is nothing holy about what you have been doing since you met this guy or what you are about to do.I slowly roll up his
SCOTTWhat happened to my pride?I have got an older woman shooing me away like some child and instead of getting real pissed and going away I just stand at the bottom of the stairs and watch her disappear upstairs.Shit! Someone tell me what I am doing?Am I losing it again? Did all those months of therapy really didn't add up to anything at all?I take a deep breath and look around the room to see if anything might interest me.Wait a minute, I am here now, in James house.Instead of waiting on her to spill whatever she knows I could do a little scavenging of my own and maybe I might really find something worthy enough.I take in the room again, but everything looks normal and in place, making it hard for me to decide where to start from.It gives off nothing like a room where someone could hide things.Maybe if I could get to their room.Secrets lie in closets right?Now how do I get there? If only I could-'Hey, can you give me a hand here? I am stuck' she calls from somewhere rig
SCOTT It should not bother me but it does. 'So who is this guy?' I finally ask after what seems like decades of driving in silence while avoiding her eyes. I can feel her gaze on me, and I can feel her lips tilting up in a smile and then I hear her laugh. It made me feel stupid, like I was foolishly chasing after something I can never have, but it did not stop my heart from aching to know everything about her, every detail. Yes, my heart. That organ has been doing a lot of fluttering and racing recently for this one woman who is laughing at me seriously right now. 'Is someone jealous?' she asks between laughs and I want to pull up and show her how damn jealous and serious I am. 'Should I be?' I ask, with no trace of a smile to show that I may be kidding. She looks at me long and hard with traces of that smile on her face and only then do I look back to see if anything on her face will give her away, but the woman is as strong as a shield. She does not say anything t
SCOTTI have never seen anyone dress up so posh just to go shopping.And I love it.Everything about how she's dressed makes me feel damn special.She took her time to look good for me, and something about that makes my blood warm with desire.She is wearing a black loose jumpsuit that is only fitted around her ass, with those shiny black open toe heels she wore on the night we went to the coffee shop.Her hair. I have never seen them so wavy and fuller, sweeping down both sides of her face in curly waves. She moves some behind her ears so – I dare to say, I – can have a view of that smooth long neck of hers.Gosh, I want to claim those lips here and now. Red and domineering, I do not mind being under her spell right now.She is not just beautiful, she's gorgeous, man! Cleopatra has got nothing on this woman.Looking at her now and I do not even remember she's - what? Four or is it five years older than me.I can perceive her fragrance even when she's still a couple of steps away fro
