Give me Moore - A no strings attached contract Prologue
“STOP!”The word came out like a strangled cry. It didn’t even seem to belong to me. My baby sister was in my arms, and Mom was nowhere to be seen. She must have still been in the garage, stress-smoking her cigarette. Didn’t she hear me scream?“I said leave her alone! You can’t grab her like that!” I tried as best as possible to make my voice firm, but its wavering gave me no power over Richard, who was potato bagging my thirteen-year-old sister, Kristine, on his shoulder.I saw his gigantic hands on Kris’s thighs. They dug into her skin, and I knew those would leave bruise marks later. I was sure about it.My new little sister, Gabby, was a crying mess in my arms. Nothing seemed to soothe her. But I couldn’t blame her.I snuggled her close to my body, trying to shelter her from Kris’s screaming, thrashing, and banging. My stepfather kept climbing the stairs, and I never left his heels.Richard looked like a demon. His face was contorted as if in pain and fury. His eyes almost bulged

Present day—Fifteen years laterI checked the time on my watch and picked up my pace as I hurried along the crosswalk. The street was bustling with traffic, and I had to be extra cautious not to get hit by passing cars. I was heading to an important appointment, and I couldn’t afford to be late.As I was walking, my cell phone started ringing, and I had to search through my purse to find it. I felt relieved when I saw Lena’s name on the caller ID and quickly swiped the screen to answer.“Hey Len, what’s up? Did you make it to the airport okay?”Lena had been planning to travel across the country to meet her boyfriend Charles. He had landed a promising job as a graphic designer, but it was on the other coast. She had been hesitant about moving since she had never left this town before, and it was difficult for her to leave behind everything and everyone she knew. I knew this was a big step for her.Despite her reservations, Lena had been excited about this trip for weeks. She had been b

“The rent is how much?” shouted Lena on the phone. “Are you out of your mind?”I had placed the phone on my new bed in the house on Friar Drive and was opening boxes while talking to Lena, who had finally joined her boyfriend on the other side of the country.“No. I’m not.”“Yes, you are. The Olivia I know would never have gone on the upper side and lived like a snobby-rich girl. You’re down to earth and go with the flow. And you’re not frivolous. I bought you fucking new underwear because I was sick of seeing holes in yours every time I did the goddamn laundry. I thought you didn’t want to use your family’s money.”“I didn’t, but I did anyway. And for the record, I never asked you to buy me those, and they are still in the package. I refuse to wear granny panties. You just bought them to have a good laugh and to make a point.”There was a pause, and I heard Chuck say something to my friend on the other end of the phone. I was happy for his distraction, as I would be able to save mysel
Give me Moore - A no strings attached contract Chapter 3 - Crowns pub
Thursday arrived, and I got ready for my shift at the pub.I took a quick shower, then put on my Crowns uniform, which consisted of a green, low-cut T-shirt with an embroidered crown on my left breast, and tight black pants. I pulled my hair into a ponytail and put some mascara on. As much as I hated it, the more makeup I wore, the better my tips at the pub were. The same went for the amount of cleavage I showed, which meant I needed to buy good bras that showed the girls off—not that I needed any because I was naturally busty. But when in Rome, right?I went into the kitchen to grab a bite to eat and came face to face with a woman. She had Barbie-white hair, thick fake lashes and lips full of fillers. I was also pretty confident that if I blew on her face, all the setting powder she had put on would fly away in a puff of dust. The next thing I noticed was her dress. It was vermillion with a low heart-shaped cleavage over her silicone implants. The bottom of her dress hit right below t

Since my last shift at the pub, I hadn’t seen Dominic, and to be honest, I was relieved about it. Instead, I had been spending more time with his sister, Kat. I had been living with her for over a week now, and although we only got to spend a few hours together each day, we had been able to have some great conversations. Kat had a very busy lifestyle, but that was actually beneficial for me because it gave me more time to think about what I wanted to do with my life.Lately, I had been struggling to figure out what I wanted to accomplish. I had considered applying for a few jobs at museums to be able to work in my field of study, but unfortunately, there weren’t many available positions, and the ones that were available were student-starting positions that paid much less than my current job at Crowns even if I didn’t include the tips. It was a bummer, for sure, but I had my mind settled on not letting my studies go to waste. I did spend a lot of money on them, and I was determined not

The first snowflakes fell over the city and covered the ground with a light blanket of cold dust. The Christmas season would be upon us soon, and I loathed that time of year. Had it been possible, I would have liked to fall asleep now and only wake up after the first of January. Missing that time of year would be less painful, as it brought so much anger, sadness, and regret. My life would be better if I could skip it entirely each year.There was a knock on my bedroom door. It opened, and Kat slipped her head in the crack.“Hey, Liv, do you have any plans for today?”Yes. Banging my head against my desk until someone replied to my applications. “Not particularly. I’ve been sitting in front of my computer and waiting for new positions to show up.” I pouted.“Getting tired of working at Crowns?”“No. I love it there. It’s just that I’m not where I thought I would be this late in my life.” I sighed and pushed my computer further onto the oak desk. “I thought that after graduation, I’d h

I had successfully dodged Lena’s questions during the last few hours, but she was getting on my nerves. She kept calling and pestering me, even from the other side of the country.I groaned and closed my computer when I saw her caller ID on my phone.“All right. I’ll tell you,” I instantly said to Lena when I swiped to answer. Might as well pull the band-aid immediately.Lena squealed. Then I heard her apologize to Chuck, who was probably working in the background.“The last two times you asked me to call and pretend something horrible happened was to get you out of a bad date—although ‘date’ is a big word since you don’t really date guys. So, I want to know everything about him. I need details. I’m bored over here. Give Mama some juice.”“I would hate to hear your wordplay when you have sex.”“You’d be surprised! I have quite the vocabulary.” Lena chuckled but quickly stopped so I could tell her what had been going on.I recounted my first meeting with Dominic and everything that had

Without another word, I left the apartment and headed down the street with one sole purpose: to clear my mind of Dominic. My fifteen-minute walk was brisk, and when I opened the door to the pub for my night shift, the pub was in full swing.Yes. This’ll work.Martin was off tonight, so I waved at Luke to let him know I was there and would be behind the bar shortly.I quickly entered the break room and dumped my things in my locker, furiously chasing away the image of Dominic kissing me out of my head. I tied my apron around my waist and hurried up front. Luke was already short-handed, and the night hadn’t even started.Wanda and Jody were taking care of the tables, and I saw Sam, the pub owner, helping the runners clear the tables once the customers were done. I rarely saw Sam since he mostly worked the noon shifts. It must have been a packed day for him to still be here.When we got a break at the bar, I helped the girls with table orders until Luke called me for help. After that, I b

One year laterIt was my last night at Crowns, the pub where I had worked for the past five years. As I walked in, the place was buzzing with clients, most of whom I recognized as regulars. It was a relief to see fewer drunken visitors since the tourist season had ended, but it also meant fewer tips since the summer was the peak of our year.I made my way to the back of the bar, where my colleagues Luke and Martin were training my replacement and playfully throwing dishcloths at each other for something funny that was said. Joining in on the banter, I laughed at their silly antics.As the night went on, I felt sentimental about leaving Crowns. It had been my home away from home for so long, and I had made so many memories there. But I was also excited about my new job as a conservator at the museum, where I would specialize in the conservation of pieces from the 1800s to 1900s era. The items I would care for and conserve consisted mostly of home appliances, decorations, and furniture,

I arrived at the restaurant earlier than agreed upon and asked the server to sit in the bar section while I waited for the person I was meeting to show up. I had chosen this place purposefully so my guests wouldn’t cause a scene—not that I thought they would make one, but just in case.The restaurant was a chic place downtown, and I had dressed for the occasion, flaunting a beautiful smoky-grey cocktail dress with tulle sticking out from the bottom. It was one of Nadia’s designs, and I had paired it with a flat black shoe. The dress was shoulderless, so I brought a shawl to keep my back and my arms warm because whenever I was nervous, my hands became blocks of ice.Earlier in the week, I had a scheduled appointment at the hospital. During the appointment, the medical team replaced my thick and heavy plaster casts with new, removable plastic moulded ones with Velcro straps. The new casts were a welcome relief, as they were less bulky and more comfortable, allowing me to move around with

Lena helped me bring my stuff back to my room. Afterward, she called Chuck to ask if he could come over and back us up. Chuck was over six feet tall and shaped like a football player. He was a big softy, all mush and gooey on the inside and would never hurt anyone, but Richard didn’t need to know that. My stepfather wouldn’t dare try anything if I had him with me.The next thing on my list was finding out where Richard was staying. We would have the upper hand if I could find him before he saw me—at least, that was what I thought. After that, I simply needed to find my old phone to retrieve important things from it.“Okay,” called Lena from the hallway. “Chuck is on his way as soon as he gets off work tonight. It’s an hour-long flight, so he’ll get here around eight-ish. Did you call McHottie to tell him we’re back in town?”I winced and started chewing the inside of my cheek. When Lena walked inside my bedroom and saw me wriggling with anxiety, she huffed and crossed her arms disappro
Give me Moore - A no strings attached contract Chapter 52 - Legal advice
Dominic POV“You understand that what I’m doing right now could cost me my license to practice, right?”I nodded to Patrick, and he continued pulling out the information I had requested.Patrick McKamey was responsible for everything legal in my life and business. My father had done business with the lawyer before his passing, and since Patrick had been a long-time family friend and ally, I continued using his services after the torch was passed down to me.I called Patrick a few days ago, requesting he get as much information as possible on Olivia’s mother’s last Will and Testament. It wasn’t easy, especially since it wasn’t at the request of Olivia herself, but Patrick made a few phone calls to some of his acquaintances in North America. After a few days of digging, he called me when he received the crucial information I was waiting for.“I promise I’ll deny your involvement if anything happens, Patrick. Besides, I’m not planning on using any of this outside of these four walls. You

Lena gently shook me. I groaned and stretched my body over the sofa before staring at her. She wore a knit sweater and had done her hair in a high ponytail. The cottage-look suited her well, I thought.When she saw I was up, she smiled and offered to make us breakfast.I beamed at her suggestion, feeling my stomach rumble, and slowly righted myself in a sitting position.After I ended my call with Dominic, I retreated close to the fire and fell asleep. The warmth of the flames heated my blanket and lulled me into a comfortable slumber. I felt much more rested and ready to tackle another day of killing time.Nate was supposed to return today but couldn’t stay the entire weekend. He was coming over with a few supplies, clean clothes, and hopefully, new board games. Lena and I had already played with everything we had and were tired of doing the 2000-piece puzzle of a boring fruit basket.I heard the clatter of dishes and moved away from the sofa, ambling into the kitchen to help her.

Warm hands glided over my stomach and pulled me back into warmer skin.I purred in delight, wiggling my bottom over Dominic’s erection digging into my lower back. I could recognize those hands anywhere, even with my eyes closed. They were soft, with a touch of callus inside his palms from lifting weights when he went to the gym. His unmistakable smell of aftershave also lingered on his skin, even after a full day of work. That smell was intoxicating to me.Dominic slipped a hand between my thighs and pressed a finger on my clit, rubbing it in circles and making me hot with desire. He hadn’t touched me in such a long time that I thought I would come undone by him simply applying a little more pressure.“Do you like it when I do this to you?” Dominic mumbled in my ear before sucking my earlobe and kissing and licking my neck.Panting, I arched my back and opened my legs wider for him to gain better access. “Always…”My fingers grabbed the sheets and bunched them in my fists while Dominic

I sulked in the front seat of Nate’s rented car. We were on the road to Portlet—wherever that was.Nate had appeared in Dominic’s apartment unannounced and in a hurry. He urged me to follow him and led me to a parked car waiting outside. Once inside the car, he refused to disclose our destination, despite my repeated pleas to know where we were headed. We drove northward on the highway, passing several small villages along the way.Had I not known Nate before or who he was best friends with, I would have been afraid of being kidnapped.After maybe two hours and a half of driving, Nate turned onto a straight and narrow road. A small sign told us we were being welcomed to Portlet, and I looked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of the place we were headed to, but all I could see were snow-covered farming fields stretching as far as the eye could see. We were close to the coast, and I could smell the salt in the air.I had heard that people who lived near the coast rarely suffered from run

Dominic POVI stepped outside, and the frigid wind caught me off guard, sending shivers down my spine. The gusts were so strong that my coat flapped wildly, and I had to tug at the end to keep it close to my body. However, the chilly air felt invigorating, and I took a deep breath to fill my lungs with the crisp scent of winter. I looked up at the overcast sky, watching the low clouds move swiftly and the trees lining the entrance of my building swaying back and forth. Despite the cold, I welcomed the refreshing sensation that the weather brought, hoping it would clear my troubled mind and offer me some clarity.As I settled into the back seat of a cab, I found myself lost in thought, replaying my last conversation with Olivia. I knew she was going through a tough time, and I wanted to be there for her. Olivia had been hurt before, and I didn’t want to add to her pain. Yet, I couldn’t resist the way she looked at me with her big, vulnerable eyes. It was as if she was silently pleading

As I sat on the hospital bed, I gazed at the sparse belongings I had with me, all neatly packed and ready to go by the door. I had been waiting for Kat to return from her X-rays and medical tests so that I could see her one last time before I left.Dominic, who had been sitting beside me, remained silent after his mother surprised us with her visit. Her revelation left me anxious about the situation. I wondered how Mrs. Moore had managed to locate Richard or vice-versa. The thought made little sense to me, and I couldn’t wrap my head around it. I had to find a way to change my mind when I became short of breath from my racing heart.Despite the awkwardness that filled the air, when Kat returned to our room, she tried to make small talk with us. However, Dominic and I remained quiet for the most part and only answered with idle single words.Dr. Fraser was concerned about my health after taking my blood pressure, which was alarmingly high. I, however, was determined to leave the hospita
