Conner left Merina sleeping in his bed. She needed sleep because consummating their marriage made him hungry for more. He thought to step out of the bedroom to order room service. Conner wanted to inform his father to stay away, too. Instead of calling his father, he sent him a text to keep Andre away, too. He got dressed as he waited for room service, and he was thankful he did that. Conner thought it was his room service. When he opened the door, Gabriella stood there. Her face held a sly, interested look upon seeing him with his shirt. “Were you waiting for me?” Gabriella asked. She tried to sound like she purred, but she failed. Conner didn’t find it a pleasant sound. “Not really. What do you want, Gabriella?” He asked in return. Conner knew his father wanted his marriage secret, but he suspected if the sabotage increased, he’d have them with ease. Keeping it secret was pointless.Just checking if you’re open to a proper apology for
Merina didn’t know why she did it. She heard Gabriella at the door being her annoying self, and it tripped something in Merina’s mind. Gabriella being herself triggered the petty side of Merina. So off came her wig and she threw on a hotel bathrobe. Adding in the most obnoxious and crude attitude Merina made sure Gabriella didn’t get to feel superior to her again. There would be no way Merina would admit that she did it to save Conner’s hide. But she got a jab at him when Gabriella did it for her. By not denying that Gabriella hadn’t slept with Conner while he was married to Merina. Well, Gabriella accused Conner of making her the other woman. Oh, maybe she wasn’t the other woman, but she was something that Merina was sure of.It felt like it took forever to get Gabriella to leave their suite. When Conner closed the door, he turned on her. “What made you think to do that? Now I must explain this to my father.”“Yeah, well I didn’t see you denying it to her. It’s not like it’s
Merina stood in the bathroom, leaning against the stone counter. She avoided looking into the mirror because she knew she couldn’t face what she’d admitted. It was one thing to say it and pass it off as a joke. Admitting to Conner would reveal her experience. Was something else to her. Merina couldn’t stay in the room with him. He echoed what teachers, caregivers, and her father had said. ‘You are attention seeking Merina. Grow up and do better. Why are you like this? Mistakes happen, forgive and forget. Be the better person.’ Were things they said to make her accept others’ inappropriate behavior to her. She knew it all. For a long time, Merina believed it was her fault. If she improved, others would show her respect and recognition. But they didn’t and hadn’t. Nothing she’d ever done or not done before worked. Her intention was to show her usefulness to them, and then deprive them of that benefit upon her departure. In doing that, she’d prove to them she didn
“No, I couldn’t care less anymore. I don’t think I’m interested in helping anyone anymore.” Merina said to Conner. He heard Merina’s rebellious response and realized she had a second conversation going on in her head. She assumed he rejected her assistance and decided to leave. He’d not send her to jail, but as his wife, she was so much more useful. Conner’d not let her go. She had to know he’d not let her walk away. “Really, and why is that? I thought you’d want to know your father’s words. He knew everything pivoted on her, knowing how wrong she was. “What? That I’m a horrible daughter. Or I’m terrible for not going to bail him out of jail before your father showed up? No thanks I’m sure I know what he said.” She waved Conner off and dismissed everything he’d say in one fell shot. Conner frowned at her. She’d not listen to him, and whatever she looked for had more of her attention. He’d assume that she was looking for her identificatio
Merina looked at Conner and couldn’t believe he was using a sex toy as a fidget toy. He needed to understand and used intimidation to make her comply. He needed to know, using intimidation to make her comply.It did was make her wonder how he wanted to use it on her. Merina struggled not to cross her legs as she felt her body respond to her thoughts and memories of the things, he’d done to her since discovering who she was. She sneered at Conner before she flounced back onto the sofa. Which was a mistake. The lower half of her robe parted and exposed her from her bare feet up to her navel. Conner didn’t miss a thing, and Merina knew it when his eyes flared with heated interest. “Oh no love. Don’t be modest now. Leave it as is and don’t cross your legs.” Conner eased his shoes off, but did nothing more right now. “Your father has financial evidence that Lillian was playing fast and loose with the money he set aside for you. Vacation plans, gifts, and
“Torturing you with sex and pleasure will be enjoyable. Now listen and learn from my lessons. See love. Your body already knows what to expect from me. You can’t expect me to be your husband and not give you or your body what it craves. I couldn’t neglect you like that because I’d enjoy it too much.” Conner used one hand to untie the belt of her bathrobe and open it. “Move your feet onto the sofa seat, keep your knees pointed to the ceiling and let me explain why I’m giving you this lesson. Merina, listen and watch me, you will enjoy this.” Conner let the small vibrator do its job on her needy flesh. He felt his own need rise as her nipples hardened before his eyes above her nipped-in waist. Merina’s extra weight was an enjoyable sight for him, as it lay in the places where he enjoyed more padding. Her rounded belly rested above a plush Venus mound. That pink softness he encountered this morning, and watched the mirror as he enjoyed using it, was
“This in mine Meri. I’ll have it when and where I want.” He couldn’t wait any longer. “My Meri will inhabit this body again when I’m done. You will do as I want, or I can make sure you meet my needs and exceed them in a pleasure that crosses the line with punishing pain.” Conner said this to Merina. His lips were an inch from her mouth, his eyes staring into hers as his crown found its home in her depths. She stared back at him wide-eyed; she couldn’t stop panting and she groaned each time the crown of his shaft found its place deep inside her. Conner didn’t rush what he was doing to her. This was a pleasure in its pure form. His need pushed to send him over the edge within her. But he didn’t speed up his rhythm. Instead, he slowed to savor his reaction to moving within her. Watching her face as she felt everything. He learned how he could move within her to give her the most feeling. At one point, he knew he had her right where he wanted her. Her heels dug in
Gabriella struggled to get Joseph on the phone. She attempted for two hours. She had received no updates on where their contacts had secured bail money for him. Gabriella worried their contacts couldn’t give the money after everything else they paid for getting them this far. Her uncle was supposed to eradicate the market’s other competition and they secure their business as the market leader. She knew the truth: he ran the business for the money group. Her uncle just deluded himself into thinking he controlled everything when he controlled nothing. If she didn’t get the money from them. She questioned the purpose of it. Maybe she could get help from Galen. Could she secure him again and milk him for the money? Did he have access to enough money that he could use? She didn’t care if he had to steal it as long as he gave it to her. His potential trouble was acceptable to her. “I have five minutes Gabriella. Why did you have to answer my phone call li
