After planting the seed of doubt in Dimitri's mind, everything played out as planned. He hadn't realized it was Roy with Callista. The anger in his eyes, as he placed me on the couch next to Tanya and Eric, before yanking the pair apart. It was taboo. He wasn't allowed to see Eve or his son, and she couldn't have any physical contact with Roy. It worked. Tanya, Eric, and I left during the argument. I couldn't help but have a victorious smirk which Tanya kept trying to hide while we drove off in my new Rolls Royce. This was one hell of a birthday. It worked out just as I planned. If I'm being honest I became anxious awaiting them to call me. When neither did after two weeks I showed up unannounced to see what destruction had unfolded. "Fuck you!" Callista hollered as I heard shattering glass. I opened without invitation to reveal Callista playing target practice at Dimitri. "You fucking bastard!" she hollered. "Since we lost our baby we haven't cared for one another!" Dimit
"I'll be selling the home and be moving in with Eve and her father by the weekend," Dimitri confirmed, "I apologize for not calling. I've been sleeping with one eye open since your birthday." "Sorry," I lied with a devious smile. "Are you? Why did you do that?" he demanded, "Don't lie to me." "You deserve to be happy like anyone else," I embellished. He did though, "When Zeus and I fucked I saw the love in your eyes for her. You tried to care. Act like you didn't want her. I knew better." He looked puzzled, almost confused. That's right. This twenty-five-year-old played you like a fiddle and you had no idea. That evil voice crept into my mind once more. "Let me fuck you one last time," he pleaded. Dimitri pleading? This was way too easy. He seized me within his grasp without hesitation. I knew what he wanted. What he wanted was me. He needed to forget about everything and lose himself inside of me. I knew this kiss. This was the first kiss we shared when I lost my virgi
No. No. No. What the hell? There's no way I could be pregnant. I sped to the store flying through several stop signs without hesitation. My nerves are working on overdrive. The panic I can feel rising with each passing second made everything worse. I gripped my steering wheel tighter while trying to take even steady breaths. I don't know anything for certain yet. Now I'm almost home and we can figure out this ridiculous accusation Dimitri made. It's possible he's upset and took out his frustration on me with a lie. He doesn't seem like the type to lie though. Why was everything becoming so fucked up! "Stupid bitch!" I slapped the steering wheel angrily. I ran up the stairs as fast as my legs would take me, desperate to pee on this stick. I never thought I'd think that. Waiting is the worst of it all. I fumbled my keys and dropped them repeatedly attempting to unlock my front door. "Fuck!" I cried while pounding my fists into my front door. I pressed my head against the col
"Blank?! What the fuck is blank?!" I shouted angrily. "Everything okay?" Zeus asked. I covered my mouth. Fuck I forgot he was here. I threw the test back into the sink. If I could smash it to pieces I would. Why did he need to be here right now? It's okay. I can take the other one once he leaves. Sure my nerves will be shot, but I'll know. I gathered myself before exiting the bathroom. "Sorry," I shook my head while holding my phone in my hand, "I've been waiting for a response and I hadn't realized I never sent the message in the first place." He cracked a smile, "Really?" "Yes," I lied, "Now how will I be compensated? I'm not saying yes, but Dimitri and Callista were a lot to handle. I don't need that bullshit in my life." His look turned from kind to dominant. More endearing and devouring than Dimitri's. His age certainly showed. He slowly closed the gap between us. "What did you have in mind?" he asked. I bit my bottom lip while playing with the ends of my long ha
"I want to meet this, Zeus," Tanya said firmly, placing her drink on the bartop, "Now that Roy no longer has use for me, I have to find some way to spend my free time." Guilt struck me, "I'm sorry." "It's not your fault," she shrugged. Yes, it was. We cheered before downing our shots of whiskey. The sweet burn made the confusion and frustration go away. "Are you crying because you'll miss their money?" Tanya commented. "What are you talking about?" I asked. "Your eyes are swollen, beautiful," she clarified while gently caressing my temple. I wish I could tell you. I can't let myself feel it. I have to numb myself. When I saw that my other pregnancy test was missing I couldn't help but hint that Zeus had it. My other test had the same result. I think the package I bought may have expired. I hadn't bothered to check with how much I was panicking. I'm going to the doctor on Monday. I'll know for certain then. Only then will I let myself handle it. "You know it," I lied.
When exiting the car, Zeus's mansion looked even grander in the sunlight. I hadn't realized it was more of a castle. It was stacked five stories high, and the dark hand-placed stones shined with vintage authenticity. It is breathtaking, from the six-foot-long double windows to the grand double-entry front doors—the dark cherry wood with red with vintage gold knockers. This place must have been worth a fortune. Were we still in New York? Or is this Canada? I fell asleep both times on the journey up here from the distance. Both doors opened before I went to the front, and Zeus appeared behind them. Was he waiting for me at the door like a puppy? The excitement in his eyes when he saw me was almost cute. Still, his eyes weren't smiling like his lips were. It's as if it was all practiced over and over again. How many times have you faked that smile? How many women have fallen for it? How naive did you think I was? I knew you saw the pregnancy test, but I didn't know how to approach the
"Ivy!" a deep, muffled voice brought me out of the darkness "Ivy!" My body began shaking from side to side, "Ivy!" I felt a hard smack on my cheek, jolting me awake. I blinked away the blurriness in my eyes to reveal Zeus leaning over me. "W-what happened?" I croaked. "You fainted," Zeus stated, "I didn't know you could get any paler than you naturally are, but you looked like a ghost." I felt a deep tug within me, followed by a sharp pain around my hip. I glanced down to see the color of my skin turning different deep shades of purple and blue. I must have hit the ground hard. I tried sitting up but instantly felt dizzy, having to sit back down. "Easy," Zeus warranted, "You hit the ground hard. It was as if your soul left your body." Confused, I blinked, "I'm sorry, I never meant for you to deal with that." "You're apologizing for fainting?" he commented. Knock, Kock, Knock "Come in," Zeus invited. A woman carrying a large tray of fresh fruit and a charcuterie
I leaned into the warmth of his massive hand with a smile. He had just taken care of me and didn't have to. He could have gotten angry and returned the money, but he didn't. He cared for me and expressed it with his actions. He didn't have to feed and help me with my hip, but he did without hesitation. "I don't know if I can physically handle it," I whispered with heavy-lidded eyes, "My hip." "Don't worry," Zeus hushed while pressing his forehead to mine, "I won't hurt you." With a final breath, I felt his lips on mine. Not rough like Dimitri, but gentle like waves on the beach. He began caressing my face with the hand I leaned into, firm yet kind, while guiding me gently back onto the bed. He embraced me, slowly easing me down, being sure not to hurt me. The way he made sure I was okay helped me surrender myself to him. I may not know him well, but how he's been today gave me some form of comfort. Right now, I needed comfort. His hand lightly caressed my thighs as my skirt fel
Dimitri continued to unsparingly spank me with his belt as Reign held me in place. I was unable to do anything but take the punishment they gave. Something cold and thick dripped down the crevice of my cheeks, causing a tremble that rattled me to my core. Before I could object, I felt a finger shove its way up my ass. "Agh-" Reign covered my mouth to prevent my son from hearing as Dimitri shoved his finger in and out of my ass relentlessly. Tears of pleasure began streaming down my cheeks. "Shh," Reign hushed as he spanked me while Dimitri's fingers were still inside. My muffled cries only encouraged the both of them more. Reign shifted beneath me, sliding a finger of his inside of my slick opening. Being fingered by both ends was something I wasn't used to. The burning pleasure and feeling my holes expanding with each thrust almost caused me to cry out in ecstasy. I dug my nails into Reign's chest and arched back into each thrust. "Fuck!" I cried out. Reign's fingers
"We're back!" Dimitri announced. "Mom! I learned how to ride a bike-" "What happened to your knee?" I interjected. "Calm down, all kids scrape their knees," Reign hushed. "I fell a few times," Aodhan said sadly, dropping his head, 'But I did it!" "He did. We got a video for you," Reign confirmed while extending his phone. I glanced at the phone and then at my son, "Why don't you go shower? Dinner's almost ready." I watched the video of Aodhan successfully learning to ride the bike for the first time—the victorious look on his face from succeeding. "You aren't going to leave, are you?' I questioned. "No," they replied in unison. "Nervously, I bit my lower lip, "Well, I work a lot with the bar, and I can't be home as often as I'd like, and Aodhan looks happy that you're here." They both perked up in a pompous way. "If I think you need to leave," I warned while closing the gap between us, "Then you leave." "We're not leaving-" "I'm not negotiating," I interr
How could this happen? How did they find out?! What do I do now? "Why don't you both just leave? You won't get the answers you want," I grimly groaned while drinking my espresso. "We know he's one of ours. We won't be leaving," Dimitri responded while cooking breakfast. "We'll both stay and raise him if you insist on not having a DNA test to see which of us is his father," Reign added. With a frustrated grunt, I tossed my espresso aside and wanted nothing more than a drink. Only I couldn't drink. This situation was making my head spin in circles. "You think you can just move into my home?" I snapped. "I think you'll let us," Dimitri replied. "Why's that?" I huffed. Dimitri's eyes met mine. Fuck. Why did he have to be so handsome? "I'm a good father, and Reign is an exceptional young man. We both love you. We'll both love Aodhan in the same way. We have a right to be in his life. He shouldn't grow up thinking he had a father that didn't love him," Dimitri stated.
The dinner was nice, but Cameron's intentions were clear. Anyone with a brain would know what he wanted. Ironically, all I could think about was Dimitri and Reign. One of them was the father of Aodhan, and now, my baby is growing in my belly. I didn't want anyone but both of them. Sure, Cameron was a very handsome young man, but I don't feel like having another man's cock shoved up in me with my son in there. I decided to talk at home; it was a beautiful, warm night. Ring. Ring. Ring. "Ariel, how's it going? Everything okay?" I answered. "Well, there's two men here, Dimitri and Reign, and they said they needed to talk to you about Aodhan?" Ariel said. I felt my heart sink to my stomach. I froze, the tightness in my throat growing, making it more and more difficult to breathe. My lips began to tingle, a numbness filling me. Without thought, I started sprinting home. "How long have they been there?" I panted. "They just got here. That's why I called," she replied, "I
"We have two weddings this month and a divorce party in between," Veronica stated."Divorce party? How rich do you need to be to throw a divorce party?" I complained. "The type that pays two hundred fifty thousand dollars," Veronica implied. I waved my hands in surrender, "You just had a baby two months ago, and you're running around like it never happened." Veronica glared, "While I'm here, I'm not Mom. I'm Veronica; believe it or not, that holds some meaning to me." "Jeez, calm down," I hushed. I'm just saying you're a badass. Not everyone will insult you for being a working mom; I am myself." "I know; it just can't be more obvious how most people feel, including my mother." "What did she have to say?" "You know, the usual, why don't you be with a man who can care for you and my grandbaby? Why must you work? Why must you must you make my heart hurt and ache?" "At least you have a mother that cares." "I know, sometimes I just wish I could go spontaneously deaf when
When I awoke, Ariel was lying in bed, and the red suction and bite marks all over her body gave me a sense of pride. Instead of waking her, I went to the kitchen and made a quad over ice for us. Coffee hasn't been strong enough since I became a mother. I walked out to my back porch and watched the sun over the horizon. The light blue shades with yellow lines dancing among them let me know it was almost sunrise. I leaned on my elbows, playing with the coffee cup as the breeze ran its fingers through my long red hair. "Hey," Ariel greeted me while hugging me from behind. "Good morning," I greeted, "I made you your favorite." "Four shots of espresso?" she beamed. "Yes, but iced," I warned, "It's already seventy-five degrees out here." "Yum," she purred before drinking. We stood there side by side quietly. Had I just done the unthinkable? Ariel was the one person I could trust. I mean, sure, I thought about fucking her before, but I would always stop myself. The thought o
I rushed Reign from my home moments later. After that, Arie came back to drop off my son. "Sorry, I didn't know you'd have company," Ariel apologized. "It's alright; I didn't think I'd have company myself," I admitted. "Seems like you two know one another," she commented. "What makes you say that?" While drinking some champagne, I asked, "Aodhan, why don't you shower? It's getting late." "But mom!" Aodhan protested. "No, baby," I groaned. I rubbed my temples. "Everything alright?" Ariel asked. "I feel like my head is squeezing in on itself; I forgot what it was like having a cocaine hangover," I replied. "Oh, you had that kind of fun," she giggled. "Sory of," I sighed, "Never thought I'd ever do that again, especially after my son, but I had the best time." "I can tell you've been smiling despite being hungover," she smiled. "If I'm being honest, I was wrapped up in work and Aodhan and forgot about me and the woman I am. I'm not just a power career-driven
I quietly left the hotel room before the three woke up from the party the night before. Ariel called to let me know my son wanted to see if he could have ice cream for breakfast. I couldn't resist saying yes, and it made me realize how much I missed him. I needed to get home and clean up for the day ahead. I know I will see all of them again; it's just a matter of time. "Reign?" I hesitated while walking from the cab, "What are you doing here?" Reign hesitated, rubbing the back of his neck, uncertain of how he should speak. "I left last night because the thought of seeing someone else touch you makes me angry," Reign confessed. "I-I-" I stammered, "You and Dimitri-" "I did it because you wanted it," he interrupted. "Oh," I hushed. "You fucked them last night, didn't you?" he questioned. "That's not any of your business," I replied. Reign turned thunderous and angry, a reminder of who his father was. He kissed me deeply and passionately. We collided into my front do
It was all that I remembered: the cocaine, the alcohol flowing from left and right. Before I knew it, we were at the hotel in the best suite money could buy. "Come now, give the bride a kiss," Callista enticed, grabbing my face and kissing me. The familiar scent of her perfume, her delicate lips, her tender touch, I missed this. My body caved into her without hesitation, inviting her in. "You still taste the same," Callista purred against my lips. She gently eased me onto the smooth wooden coffee table. I saw Reign, Dimitri, and Roy looking down at the both of us. Callista propped herself up, took out a small container, and emptied a small pile across my chest. My cheeks flushed red; I'm not necessarily used to an audience. "Shhh," Callista hushed, brushing my cheek in comfort. She inhaled the line from my chest and seductively licked it clean before kissing me once more. The bitter taste on my tongue soon numbed both my mouth and throat. Callista removed my top, gentl
