Later on that day after a couple of hour's rest Jonny told me he was going out again, this time I was to stay home and cook the dinner while he took a look around the town and used the exercise to get rid of the last of the nagging ache that was tugging at his healing scar.

He had been gone for half an hour and while I set a pan of water to cook the vegetables I kept thinking about the ache that still nagged him, although it was only mild now I could not help but feel concern. I knew he was more than capable of taking care of himself and I wasn't going to call him because I didn't want to look as if I doubted him. I was worrying because I loved him; but he was everything to me and if he wanted me to leave him be for a short while, his wish was my command. The house was filling with the smell of roasting beef from the oven and I was about to chop the vegetables. I decided to turn my attention to Master's dinner instead of worrying about him when I knew I did not need to be concerned.

    We needed to move again. After Dominic finding his way, it meant there could be others.We had a meeting with Celeste. She wouldn't look me in the eye. I thought about the cactus and laughed."There's another place not too far from here." She said, but Jonny stopped her."No," He told her, "We can't take any more chances; I've got Eve to think of. And we want a family. I can't stay round here. We need to fuck off, right off away from here."And so we did.Several months had passed since the shooting. Our new home was peaceful, quiet, and no one came after us. I totally agreed with Jonny that we had needed to leave, after all I couldn't see us raising our kids in that other place, it would hardly be something to laugh about, Kids, remember the story about the time Daddy shot an assassin in the living room? And although Jonny's people had covered his tracks well, we could never be sure that there would not be others - what Dominic had said had a chilling ring of truth to it - after the

    “Eve, well be back around nine. Dont let the kids stay up too late. Alice, my sister-in-law, said from the doorway to the living room.As if her twin girls would ever listen to a thing I said. The door closed, and I turned to my twin nieces. Who wants ice cream?The two little girls, identical blonde, sweet tyrants, screamed with joy as they looked back at me with gray eyes so similar to mine. They could be mine, if I wasnt so busy all the time. I pushed the thought away and stood up from the pillow fort theyd built around me to head into the kitchen.Harry, the baby brother of the twins, slept in a playpen near the dark gray leather sofa, so I left him there. He was a growing boy, and he needed his sleep. Soon enough hed join his older sisters in the kitchen with me.I found the girls on bar stools around the marble island in the kitchen. It was the kind of kitchen any baker would love. It was Alices kitchen, after all, and she needed three industrial sized ovens. I turned to the fri

    Youre a descendent of Mr. Kinky, arent you? a woman at the end of the conference table asked.My gaze flicked to the woman, and I noted round, out of date glasses, fuzzy hair, and a little too much fluff around the hips. She had a twisted little mouth that looked cruel, and I wondered who she was and how shed come to be here.I am, yes, in a way. Im adopted, but the man who became my father is descended from his son, as a matter of fact. It wasnt a point of pride, just something Id had to learn to deal with over the years. Every now and then someone would crop up to ask me if I had special knowledge about the gun slinging outlaw from long ago.I was born in 1986, so how could I know anything about a man who died over 100 years before I was born? It was a familiar question, though, and one Id grown bored with long ago.He was such a handsome man, she crooned from the other end of the table, and I tried not to roll my eyes. The man had been a murderer and a thief; his spawn had tried to

    “What about these, Roxie? Theyd look great on you! I called Roxie over to me, and she stared at the colorful pair of heels Id stopped at in the boutique Id brought us to.My birthday had been and gone a week ago, and Roxie still hadnt told me if she could get me into the club she worked at. Wed spent my birthday in her apartment, watching our favorite movies and getting drunk. It had been fun, a first rebellion, and Id passed out on her couch around one a.m. Since then, wed both been busy with different things, but wed finally met up for a shopping trip that Id proposed.Shed wanted to head over to the discount shops along the boardwalk, but Id driven us to a secluded set of boutiques just outside of town. Shed been confused but hadnt protested. I liked that about Roxie; she was brave, curious, and wasnt afraid of much in the world.God, put those back, Eve; I cant afford them, Roxie whispered to me as I picked up a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes. I looked up at her confused.But I

    Whats your poison? the bartender asked, and I stared dully at the man. A long brown beard adorned his face, tight khaki pants clashed with the sophisticated haircut, and for some unknowable reason, suspenders over a white t-shirt with Pink Floyd emblazoned across the front. The whole look, clashed in my mind, and I stared at him.Then a word popped into my head, and I relaxed. Hipster. Beer please, thanks.He gave me a nod, passed along a beer, and I headed off in the direction of the stage. I had spent another day fruitlessly looking for land to develop. At this point, Id even take a large house that I could turn into apartments, though, small ones. I wanted to be in this place, this part of the world, to get away from my life in Kansas.I needed to be away from it all, but I wouldnt get that, not until someone else came along to take the lead from me. My own child or someone I took under my wing. I might yet find a wife, settle down, have a child, but I didnt see it coming. Not yet.

    Days passed, and I hadnt heard from Roxie, but that might have been my own fault. Id been busy. I finally found a place of my own, a real house, that was all mine. It was an exclusive place with a keypad on the large steel gate that kept the huge fence around the place locked up tight. Id been busy buying furniture and a car.Ive never owned a car before, or furniture, but there was a first time for everything, right? I spent a week getting the place set up, and then, I finally talked to my family in a conference call on Skype. At first, thered been confusion.But, Eve, we love you. What is this about? Trent asked from his camera, and I glared.You love me? I shot back, my face red with anger and hurt. Or am I just convenient? Do any of you know Im a real human being?“Eve! What a thing to ask! Of course, we know youre real, Mason started, but I interrupted him.When is my birthday? I asked pointedly, looking straight into the camera on my phone.The three of them muttered across the

    What do you mean that one was taken off the market? Its perfect! I stared at my phone as if the speaker on the other side could see the fury on my face.Im sorry, Jonny, the city council have condemned the building for some reason. Its no longer for sale, Liz, the real estate agent, said from the other end of the line. I will keep looking.Please do, I growled and cut the call. There wasnt anything else I could say, really, so I ended the call. It was infuriating.I know this is the work of Trent Thompson, I just know it is, I said to the person across from me. Freddy, the man who had shown me the ropes around town, and who knew all the right hands to shake. Obviously, Trent Thompson did too.It looks like he doesnt want the competition, thats for sure. Freddy stubbed out a cigar and sipped at his brandy.I dont get it. The place is crawling with resorts. It runs out of rooms on a regular basis during the summer, but he wants to block me?Competition is fierce here, even if rooms do f

  • Her Secret Desire.   Chapter 25.

    Sometimes people lived their entire lives without exploring their inner desires. They lived a quiet life, taking part in the same routine, every day, with small moments of joy found in that routine. They lived their lives blindly, they didnt look to the left or to the right, and they certainly didnt look at their own desires. They just lived until they died.I wasnt that kind. I knew what I wanted. Id explored it a variety of times. Id opened minds and bodies to the ultimate experience that desire could bring to a human body. In the process, Id examined my actions, the responses I felt toward that action, and replicated the ones that brought me the most pleasure. There was always room to grow, though, and I would try new things. With the right woman.Id settled into a chair at Elmos and awaited the promised siren that Roxie had enticed me with. I hadnt really planned to come to Elmos tonight, the hunt was starting to wear on me, but shed sent word through Freddy that I would want to m

    I drove to the hotel lazily, a smile fixed on my face that I just couldnt get rid of. Even when the traffic was terrible, I kept smiling as memories played in my head. Mr. Dark wanted me for two more weeks, in a private place, twenty-four hours a day.That sounded like heaven on earth to me, and I would make sure Trent understood when I saw him that I wasnt to be disturbed, for anything other than a true emergency during that time. I parked and headed into the hotel and up to the offices. I waved at the secretary who waved back as I knocked on the door to the main office.Im here, Trent, I said as I entered and sat on the couch. I felt more confident than I ever had before as I stared at my brother. He was on the phone and hadnt even acknowledged I was there yet.I waited, impatiently, and didnt make myself stop when my foot began to tap. Always so fucking important, always so dismissive, my brothers could be real assholes sometimes. My smile turned to a glare, and I watched him. He

    The next morning, I got out of bed, had a shower, and ordered some breakfast for us both. I slid into the bed in fresh pajamas and pulledStephanie into my arms. I smiled as she protested and knew Id made the right decision.Wake up, pet. I want to talk to you. I have coffee for you and food. She turned in my arms, warm from her sleep, and protested again.But I want to sleep, she mewled, and I laughed again.No, enough sleep. Come on, come join me. Her face was against my neck, and her lips felt really nice there, but I had an offer to make, and she needed to be awake for it.Fine, she said, a little petulant, but softened it with a smile. I let it pass and went to the table with her.It was only a small table with two white chairs, and we each took a seat. What do you want in your coffee?Just cream. The words were garbled on a yawn as she scrubbed at her face with her hands. Nothing else.There you go. I set it in front of her and began to eat the breakfast Id ordered. Hash browns

    Would a bath be in order? he asked from behind me. I still shook from the things hed done, from the things hed made me feel.It hadnt taken long, but then I was primed. I hadnt seen him in days, and my body wanted his touch more than anything else in the world. I hadnt known suction cups could provoke so much pleasure. When hed placed the first one on my nipple, Id fought not to squirm. The second one had nearly done me in. When the third one was applied, a battle began.Then, the rest. Id been pushed beyond arousal and straight into a new world of pleasure so quickly, with a speed I didnt understand, and when hed invaded me back there. A shiver shook me all over again, and I turned around. Yes, I think a bath is just what I need, sir.He nodded and went to the bathroom. I heard the taps come on, and the bathtub began to fill. I thought about what Id said, the way sir came off of my tongue so easily. Readily, even. Was it because I didnt know his name? Was that what made it so easy?Y

    I woke up before Stephanie and looked in the fridge for some orange juice but didnt see any. I dressed and went out to the bar to get some.I came back in quietly, saw she was still asleep in bed, and poured two glasses of the cold drink before going back to the bed.I undressed, pulled back the covers, and slid into the sheets with her. This bed was much better than the one at my apartment, I thought as my muscles began to relax. Id have to find out what it was and buy one for myself.I turned in the bed and brushed Stephanies hair back from her face. I wanted to ask her for a longer contract; Id given up on trying to talk myself out of it. This woman was more than just a fuck I could forget about. She had class, and she made me think. She also made me hard as fuck, and I wanted her. I just wanted to know how far I could push her before shed break first. I needed to find out tonight, so I brushed at her cheek until she woke up.Hi, I said softly once she woke up and smiled at me. He

    I walked up to him, my hips swinging seductively, and knelt in front of his chair, mask in place. Im home, sir.I made sure my lips smiled prettily, and that my eyes were down, a sweet pose of submission Id spent the day practicing; only he wouldnt know that.Mason had found a nanny for the kids now that Laura was out of the woods, and Id come home early this afternoon. Id spent the hours preparing myself for him, for the man Id dreamed about every night since Id left him. Id wanted this to be perfect. Id talked to Roxie and when Id arrived at the club Id gone in to change my clothes and do my hair.My hair was easy, it fell in straight, golden sheets down my back. The dress was the hard part. Shed put a pure white satin gown out for me, and a red one, with a strapless top that would fit my form exactly because the fabric was stretchy. I chose the white one because of the shimmer and the purity the white symbolized.I decided then that Id only wear white when I was with him. Until I w

    Shed been gone for three days. I sat in a chair and glared at the dancer on the stage. It wasnt Roxie, and she was terrible. I knew she wouldnt last long. From the listless way she danced, it was obvious she had a drug problem. Miss Maples would pull the woman aside, have her treated, and then offer her a job somewhere else. Id heard a lot about how fantastic Miss Maples was from Roxie over the last few days as I waited for Stephanie to come home.A family illness had cropped up, and shed had to go home. That had put the damper on things, but I couldnt complain. She had family. I had two adoptive parents and no siblings. I didnt know what it was like to have to take care of nieces and nephews while your family member was sick.It gave me time to come up with a new contract, and to think about whether I actually wanted to give it to her. I was alright, really, the first few days. I did the contract, I worked, unpacked my apartment, and settled into it. Roxie said it would be a couple o

    It wasnt any surprise that when I turned my phone on around five that evening it vibrated for a full five minutes. Mason had blown my phone up. I thought it would burst into flames before it finally came to a rest. I stared at it for a few seconds once it finally stopped, not sure it was done.I opened the cover on it and pressed the button so the screen would come on. Mason had called, stalked my Facebook, Instagram; hed even been on my Snapchat and sent me texts. He needed me; Laura was ill. I felt bad that Id ignored my phone all day, when hed truly needed me this time, but I hadnt been there.Mason, hows it going? I asked once hed picked up my call. Id dialed him back as soon as I saw the message that Laura was in the hospital.Not so good, sis. We have the plane at the airport. Can you make it back here tonight? Mason sounded tired, even over the phone, and a pang of guilt pierced my heart.Of course, Mason. I thought about Mr. Dark, but I knew that could wait. What have they sai
