"Tall Draft, please."
"$5," I replied while handing the brew. This routine continued for hours into the night. "Ivy! Last call, five minutes!" Tanya hollered at me. As I placed the empty glasses in the dishwasher, I saw a shadow, "What can I get for you?" "Cabernet," a familiar sensual voice echoed in the empty bar. My head rotated to discover the woman. The woman I had encountered nearly a week ago was before me, looking even more breathtaking than ever. My mouth went dry, and there were no words to come. What's wrong with me? "Hi," I finally gathered, "Same as last time?" Her crimson lips curled at the corners to form a soft smirk. She gave an approving nod before I made my way into the back. Bottles upon bottles were before me, and I could not remember what she had the previous night. My mind was still blank. "Hey! Is that the woman you were telling me about earlier?" Tanya asked from behind me. My mouth opened, "Yes..." Her excitement for me turned to instant confusion, "What's wrong?" "I don't know," I answered, "I have no idea what I'm feeling. I'm confused and anxious, plus I can't remember what Cabernet she had last time." Tanya smiled before scanning the liquor wall. Her left hand raised, seizing a bottle of our oldest Cabernet, so old that a layer of dust formed. "I served her before you last time," she reminded me before handing the bottle off, "Don't do anything I wouldn't do." "That doesn't leave out much," I giggled. She disappeared back behind the bar, but there I remained. I needed clarification about how to approach this situation. I don't believe I've ever been this nervous. How is this done? Before I knew it, my body returned behind the bar, and I poured her a glass. There was a deafening silence between us, and no one was in the bar, but Tanya made it even more awkward. "Thank you," she received her glass of wine. "I never got your name," I stated. "Is that meant to be a question?" she smiled. "I'm sorry," I apologized, "If I'm honest, I'm not very good at this," I confessed. "Not too good at what?" she tilted her head slightly. "Talking to people," I clarified. She chuckled slightly before sipping her wine, "You're cute. What's your name?" "I'm Ivy," I replied. "Nice to meet you, Ivy," she extended her right hand to me across the bar top, "My name is Callista. A family name." I shook her hand in response before realizing what I was doing. My hand retracted, "Nice to meet you." There was a brief silence. Callista was so beautiful. Why not with her? "Have a glass with me?" she offered. My hand gripped the neck of the bottle and poured an overfilled glass of wine. As it touched my lips, the burning sensation of alcohol graced my tongue before warming my body. After a few more sips, I relaxed, and Callista smiled. "Was this your plan?" I asked. "It always helps, wine," she clarified. "About our brief encounter the other day," she continued, "Nice." "You didn't have to leave so abruptly," I added. "My husband was waiting for me in the car," she replied. I froze. Husband? "Don't worry,' she giggled, "He knows." "He knows?" I swallowed. "I like women; I always have. I had told him when we first met, and he never seemed to mind. Even now, he knows what I'm doing," she explained. How am I supposed to respond? Before I could process more, I saw her hand upon mine. Our gaze met. "It doesn't change anything," she said. "There isn't anything between us," I replied, "It's not a big deal. I appreciate your honesty, and most people would lie to get what they want." "I don't need to lie," she took another sip of wine, "I typically get what I want." "What is it you want?" I asked. When she didn't reply, I finished my wine glass and forced a painful swallow. The taste was like a slap in the face. I placed the wine glass in the dishwasher and didn't know what to do. Without thinking, I began getting the bar ready for closing. "Do you like bartending?" she broke the loud silence. "It's not a bad job, and the tips are nice," I answered. "Is there anything else you want to do?" "I'm not good at any one thing. I excel in nothing, but I am good with my hands." "How so?" "I can cook, make cocktails, and play a little piano and guitar. The main thing I do to release stress is drawing. Not along the lines of a painting or using color, more with greys." "You've never thought of doing it professionally?" "No, I do it for me. If I started doing it for others, I might hate it." "Why not create your masterpieces and sell them?" I paused. The thought never even crossed my mind, and I couldn't concentrate on that subject due to her confession of having a husband. "Is this husband of yours outside waiting for you again?" I diverted. "No," she rumbled. I'm not in the mood tonight. I came here hoping to find you." "Why?" I responded. "You're what I want," she answered finally. My body froze, "I don't know how to respond since you told me you have a husband." "It's not like I would invite him," she gave a devious smirk, "Unless you wanted him to." "No," I let slip. I'm sorry. I mean, I would rather it just be you." There was a glimmer in her eyes, "You want me?" "I-I-" I stammered. My eyes searched the bartop for answers, "I don't know." "You don't know?" she repeated. "No, I mean, I do want you. I don't know how to do this," I tried to explain. "Don't know how to do what?" she pressed. "This," I gestured between the two of us. "Because I'm a woman?" she asked. "No, I've never done this with anyone, man or woman," I clarified. My delivery could have been better, but I finally managed to say it. "Have you ever been with someone?" she asked while pouring more wine. I felt my cheeks flush. I took a sip of wine for encouragement and said, "No, I haven't." Her expression looked like she wanted to devour me, "Are you free this weekend?" My mouth opened with no sound. "It's not a trick question," she smiled. "What's your number?" I placed my phone on the bar top in front of her. She took it in kind and started pressing on the touch screen. "Join me for dinner," she started, "I would love you to accompany me." "What about your husband," I spat. "He'll be there too," she said, "It would be a good chance to meet." "Why would I need to meet him if all we're going to do is fuck?" I said, "Sorry, I think I'm getting drunk." "Maybe I want to use you," she rumbled before grasping my hand and jerking me towards her, "Not just once." Her lips met mine, and I was lost. My mind went blank. Her hot tongue rubbed along mine as a hand seized the nape of my neck. Confusion rolled through me as my body quivered, and I could feel my lips tingle with excitement. The hand that held my neck traced down my collarbone between my cleavage, and an unexpected moan erupted in my throat. Before anything else happened, her lips were gone from mine. My heavy-lidded eyes saw her backing away from the bar. "Call me Friday," she smiled. Before I could muster a reply, she was gone. My hand pressed onto my throbbing lips in disbelief before picking my phone up from the bar top. There it was—her number. "So-" I heard from behind, "That was her." "NO!" I startled. I saw Tonya still here, "Wait, I thought you left?" "Yeah," she chuckled, "The bar; I went into the back and did inventory," she replied, "Now answer me." "I-I," my stammering wasn't helping, "Yes, it's her." "So, what's her name," she teased. "Shut up!" I laughed before shoving her slightly, "Callista." "Callista?" she repeated. "Yes," I confirmed with a smile, "And I'm going to go out with her Friday." There was silence. I could see the shocked look on Tanya's face before transforming into excitement, "Holy shit! You have a date!" "I don't think it's a date," I clarified, "I'm not sure since she has a husband." "Husband?" she questioned, "Does she want to invite you into their relationship?" "I would rather not think about that," I said. If things happen and I'm comfortable with them, who knows?" "Losing your virginity having a threesome?" she smiled, "Talk about killing two birds with one stone."The following two days flew by in the blink of an eye, and before I knew it, Friday morning came. I sat there with my mimosa, looking down at my phone. I knew that Callista would be here soon. Last night, she called me asking for my address so she could pick me up this morning. She told me she would be here in half an hour, and time was running thin. I intended to drink every bit of alcohol I had to help with my nerves. Ring. Ring. "Hello?" "I'm here." "I'll be down." "The black car." "You're kidding?" The line went dead. I downed the remaining contents of my glass before making my way downstairs. Usually, these stairs bother me daily, and I walk up and down them, but I wish there were more today. There isn't much I know about her, and my small talk is minimal at best. My hand reached out, pushing the double doors open into the unknown. It was like a vibration, almost like a pull. My eyes locked onto the black Cadillac. The window rolled down in the backseat, reveal
"You look beautiful," Callista remarked. "Thank you," I blushed, "You're stunning." She was wearing a crimson-red tight-fitted corset gown. Her black, smokey eyes and deep red blips looked mysterious and dangerous. Her blown-out hair, delicately falling over her shoulder, made her elegance timeless. I took the glass of champagne she offered to me and inhaled its contents. "What type of restaurant is this?" I asked. "The one my husband always takes me to after returning from a business trip," she smirked. "Is he as handsome as you are beautiful?" I coerced. A devious smile overtook her as she said, "Well done." "I'll be meeting him tonight?" I asked. "Maybe," she replied, "He always makes it home." What had she meant by that remark? "We're here," she announced as the car stopped. I went after her and froze—Tan building with blue valences for every window decorated with a white HW. At the top were bold letters, HARRY WINSTON. "What are we doing here?" I c
When we arrived at their home, I could feel my body shake with nerves. What was I doing? Nerves of excitement or fear? Unthinkingly, I followed them here to test myself, to see if I could do it. Drank to silence the many voices in my head to the point where logic wasn't present. I've never been with a man or woman, and now both want me simultaneously. How do you know who you can have until you have them? How do you know what you can do until you do it? Losing my virginity while having a threesome? "Ivy?" Callista broke my train of thought. "Sorry," I apologized. "Are you alright?" she asked, touching my thigh. "Was lost in thought," I reassured with a sigh. Her worrying eyes turned into narrow hungry slits, "Do you want to leave?" "No," I exhaled. Callista took my hand, pulling me up the stairs to a bedroom. It was very dark with the blackout curtains pulled over the French doors, so seeing what it looked like was nearly impossible. The light from the hallway revealed
The light of dawn awakened me from my sleep. I blinked, looking around the room, which was now mine. While running my fingers through my hair, I wiped away my drowsiness. My hands simultaneously removed the necklace and earrings as I went to the closet. I seized the emerald satin robe and threw it on my naked body before heading downstairs. Callista and Dimitri were standing there drinking coffee. Dimitri was shirtless, wearing only trousers, but Callista wore a tight-fitted crimson dress with matching heels. "You're awake," Callista smiled before offering coffee. "Do you have anything stronger?" I asked. Dimitri smirked before Callista turned around and took a bottle of champagne from the fridge. She poured both of us a glass. A devious yet grateful look flashed across her face. "Thank you," I graciously accepted before drinking. "I will return the jewelry, then I have a few errands to run," Callista remarked, "Dimitri will drive you home." I accidentally gulped down t
My eyes locked onto the partially empty glass on the bartop, lost in a daydream. The memory of Callista's tenderness, of Dimitri's dominance, repeatedly played in my head. The way they both needed me. How they made me cum. Unaware, while lost in thought, I placed the tip of my nails between my teeth. My body recollected the intense, hot, burning, and pleasurable sting of pain. I crossed my right ankle around my left calf and caressed myself, lost in the daydream."Earth to, Ivy!" I felt a towel slap me in the face, Tanya."My bad!" I was startled before picking the empty glasses off the bar."Where's your head?" she continued, "You've been in a daze all day.""I-I'm fine," I stammered."Look at me and say that," she pressed.Uncontrollably, my cheeks flushed, and I fidgeted, "I'm fine."Her small hair seized my bony wrist, forcing me to face her. My eyes diverted and dodged looking at her. No matter how bad the truth was, she was one of the few people I couldn't lie to."Are you blushi
"This is your home?" Callista asked, strolling around my loft. "Yes," I confirmed. "It's nice, open, and your view is beautiful," she observed. As she made her way over to the landscape window, veering into the night, I brought her a glass of champagne. "Thank you. How long have you been here?" We went over to the couch. " It's been about four years now. I bought it when I turned twenty-one." "Bought it?" she questioned. "I make decent money," I sighed. "How did you get the money to buy this place? If you don't mind me asking." "I don't mind. I don't talk about it much. My parents passed away in a car accident, and I'm the sole heir. Couple million, nothing fancy." Callista nodded in reply, "Before Dimitri, I was alone. I never knew my parents. Bouncing around from home to home, I was too much of a wild child for anyone to hold me down." "I never would have guessed." "When I turned eighteen, I started escorting. I went to rich bars wearing a tight black coc
"So," Tanya sighed, "My son has a girlfriend." My eyes widened in response. Tanya had been dreading this day since he turned ten years old. "He just turned fifteen," she groaned, inhaling her double shot of whiskey, "Does he have to be so eager to turn me into a grandmother? I'm not even forty yet." I bit my bottom lip, uncertain how to respond, "Another round?" She gave me an unhappy glance, "You have to ask?" I poured us another glass as she wallowed in self-pity, "At least you get to drink for free." "No, I'm lucky I work in a bar," she corrected, "Where I don't care if my boss wants to fire me." "Tries," I implied, "Tries to fire you, but you refuse." "If he wanted it to stick," she swallowed, "Then he wouldn't let me come back." "It's hard to tell you no," I smiled, "It's his first girlfriend. I don't think anything will come of it." "I was his age when I had him," she reminded. "True," I drank, "You raised him better than that." A look of gratuity flashe
The black leather interior smelled pleasant, but then again, it was a limousine. Before I could react, Dimitri made his way between my legs, and soon, our tongues were intertwined. "What are you doing?" I whimpered, and his hands unfastened my shorts. "Getting you ready for my wife," he answered. My cheeks flushed a deep red; luckily, it was dark back here, "Callista can do that herself." In reply, his lips left mine, and his tongue began to rub over my clit. "Dimitri!" I cried. The heat from his tongue made the situation even more exciting, eating me out before I fuck his wife. His tongue moved lower and lower till I felt the wetness enter my body. This man knew what he was doing. My legs wrapped around his shoulders as I arched back into the seat. "Fuck!" I cried. Two of his fingers pushed inside my mouth. I began a suction motion, slathering his fingers with my saliva as a moan escaped from my throat. They left my mouth in a rush and replaced his tongue inside of
"I-I-" I stammered, still unable to speak. "Still a shy little girl, I see," he commented. "I'm not shy," I denied. "But you are, the way you hide your face, unable to form sentences, cheeks blushing red like a school girl," he explained. When it comes to Dimitri, it's different. You can treat him however you choose and not care for his heart. You don't know me, what I'm capable of, what I can do." "I'm sure you're nothing like Zeus," I hushed. Roy leaned back warmly, gazing, "I'm not going to fuck you for sport; I'm not an animal. I know what type of man he was. I knew Zeus as well. Knew about his and Tanya's relationship. Begging me to take her crazy ass off his hands. Not even I could handle that train wreck." I studied him, glancing at a scar hidden beneath this gold chain. "How did that happen?" I gestured. Roy looked down, clearing his throat before removing the chair and unbuttoning his shirt. He was in great shape, well-chiseled, and tempting. Without though
"It seems old tricks die hard," Callista boasted, directing her eyes to Dimitri. "What do you mean?" I questioned, following her gaze. "Dimitri is a creature of old tricks. He used to do this to me when we first got together. Of course, we fucked like rabbits back when we were young, always trying new and exciting things." Callista explained while gently caressing my inner thigh. "These things he seems to like doing with you," she whispered. She leaned into my ear, her warm breath sending shivers up my spine. "Tell me, what punishment does he have for you?" Dimitri purposefully set the vibrator off inside of me once again. My hand seized Callista's wrist while biting my lower lip. Dimitri said I couldn't cum by the toy. He failed to mention that Callista could satisfy me. A devious smirk came across my lips; Dimitri studied my face, tilting his head, trying to figure out what I was scheming. Slowly, I guided Callista's hand higher and higher up my inner thigh until her c
"Mom!" Rowan beamed while embracing me. "Oh, baby!" I whined. I held him tightly, not wanting to let go. It had been nearly a year since I'd seen him. He had grown so much and was taller than me now. I looked up at his youthful face; he looked much like Dimitri. "Stop growing!" I smiled. "Are you kidding me? I'm not even halfway there yet," Rowan joked, his voice deeper, not childlike anymore. He was undoubtedly going through his puberty phase. "Look at how handsome you've become," I boasted. "Looks like his father," Callista commented. "Aunt Callista, Uncle Roy, good to see you," Rowan greeted, giving them both a hug. "Hello, young man," they both responded. "You know one another well," I mumbled at his affection towards them. "I had no idea you would be here, Mom," Rowan explained, embracing me again. "I missed you, baby," I fibbed, squeezing him back, "I'll tell you what. I will get dressed, and then we can do something tonight." Once in the bathroom, I
Dimitri took it upon himself to make me go back with him to New York and wouldn't have it any other way. "I'm sorry for the misunderstanding," Derrick charmingly kissed the back of my hand. "Don't," I smiled before being pulled inside by Dimitri. "You don't have to be so rough!" I winced. "Knock it off, would you?!" Dimitri jerked me, my momentum causing me to fall to the ground on all fours. "Damn it, Dimitri!" I winced. I felt a hard slap across my ass. "Ow!" I hissed. My head jerked back as Dimitri seized the nape of my neck. "Ugh!" Ruthlessly, he snapped my underwear off before spanking me again. Dimitri had been like this since that night. Typically he'd be tender afterward; this time, he'd fuck me every chance he got, even when I couldn't walk the day after my punishment. He tore my dress off, throwing the scraps to the floor beside me. "Ugh! It hurts Dimitri!" I whined. It became the point where it wasn't pleasurable anymore, he knew, and I knew it
Dimitri, flabbergasted, tossed the papers onto the closest chair he could find. Upon his further examination of me in my current state, I knew he knew. My cheeks blushed, and I could not look him in the eyes. "My father?" he questioned. "I didn't know, I swear," I whispered. "How could you not know?!" Dimitri hollered. "Calm down. What's going on?" Derrick asked. "You know what, old man!" Dimitri spat. "What are you talking about, son?" Derrick clarified. "Her?! Ivy! The woman I asked you to keep an eye on for me while I was in New York!" Dimitri explained. "You should have told me about your relationship with her," Derrick stated. Dimitri threw his head back with a manic cackle, "Leave!" "Beg your pardon?" Derrick said. "Leave now, old man!" Dimitri threatened, charging at Derrick. "Stop! I'll go," I sighed, crawling from the bed. "No, you're staying," Dimitri growled. "Leave, now." Dimitri's tone was deathly and emotionless. Derrick also k
"You don't need to come here always," I sighed while smoking my joint. "You're an investor, that's it." "And this is professional?" Derrick gestured to what I was smoking. "Like you care," I huffed, blowing smoke in his face. Derrick didn't care. He found me amusing, tempting, and everything he wanted. He's never vocalized it before, but his eyes show differently. I know those eyes, the ones that undress me, fantasize about me, and yearn for me. He thinks I don't know. I have him fooled; what do I want to do with him now? Derrick's rich; he wouldn't use me for money. Dimitri is in the other half of the States, and I'm bored and horny. "Do you want to fuck me, Derrick?" I bluntly asked. Derrick choked on his drink before turning back to look at me. His cheeks flushed in shock, his lips trembling with nerves. The victory was already mine. "What makes you think I want you?" he croaked. "The way you look at me." "I have a son. He could be your father." "How old are y
Everything went numb; Dimirti was kind enough to care for Rowan so I could see my son. Aodhan had no color in his lips, no pink in his cheeks like he used to; he was lying there lifeless. They often speak about the pain in your heart that you feel when you lose a loved one. They don't tell you how a hole begins to form more significant and more prominent in your heart in place of that pain, causing you to push everything and everyone away. It doesn't hurt because when you allow yourself to, it becomes so overwhelming that you just might kill or die yourself. That's what I did. I pushed down my feelings and wiped my tears because the other two weren't options. Dimitri handled the hotel arrangements for the three of us, ensuring we had the best suite on the highest floor available. No matter how much cocaine I did or how much alcohol I drank, I felt nothing. Days, months, and soon, a year went by, and I was still empty and numb. Dimitri suggested I send Rowan to boarding school wit
"Mom! It's Aodhan!" Rowan cried. I looked over and fell to my knees; tears began falling in pools from my eyes; Aodhan had been shot, too. My son, lying there lifeless. "Ahh!" I screamed. Panic settled in; blood was pouring from my baby, and I couldn't plug the hole. What can I do? I tried applying pressure with my hands, unable to stop sobbing. "Go! Pilot! Go!" Dimitri hollered while latching the stairs/door closed. The Pilot took off, knocking everyone over, but continued to press on Aodhan's wounds, his warm blood slick on my fingers as I tried applying pressure to his chest. I saw Dimitri protect Rowan from falling over, scooping him up. "Dimitri! Help me!" I begged. A look of shock overtook Dimitri briefly before he rushed, overmoved my hands, and began applying pressure to the wound, "Pilot! Closest hospital!" "What happened to Reign!? Oh my god, Ariel was shot, too!" I whined. "I don't fucking know, someone was shooting, but I couldn't see who it was. They cam
Standing perplexed, I aimed for Zeus, but he dodged and missed both bullets. "Are you crazy?!" Zeus hollered. "No, I'm twisted!" I corrected myself. "Just like how you made me!" I shot once more, Zeus running and diving behind the desk. "Ivy, stop!-" "Don't!" I hissed, pointing the gun at Reign. I'm tired of both of you Castles telling me what to do!" Before I knew what was happening, I felt heaviness tackle me to the floor, accidentally firing another shot. "Get off of me!" I screamed. I fought beneath him, but I was no match. Zeus took the gun and backed away from me. "Fuck! Ivy! You shot Reign!" Dimitri hollered. Panic briefly flooded over me but was replaced with a barrel now pointed at me. "What do you want?!" I shouted. "You! I want you! But that's never enough! Everything I do is never enough for you!" Zeus complained. "Your son is dying-" "I can have more!" Zeus winced. Dimitri tackled Zeus to the ground, and the two began exchanging blows. I
