Love in the Time of Quarantine Chapter 5: Alexis
I’m honestly not sure how this could get any worse.This morning, when we left for the office to finalize the merger, we had already checked out—planning to work a full day, then fly home.Now, both our pilots are in the hospital. One’s on a ventilator. And the flight attendant just texted me while I was talking to Mr. Wilson... saying she’s feeling sick, too.Mr. Wilson is back in the meeting, trying to wrap things up. I’m in the hallway on the phone with The Connaught, desperately trying to get our rooms back.“What do you mean you only have Mr. Wilson’s room available? There’s nothing else available in the entire hotel?!” I practically shriek into the phone.“I do apologize, Ms. Park,” the concierge replies, maddeningly calm. “With the lockdown rumors, many of our patrons have returned to the country and are now quarantining with their loved ones. Most have opted to do so here.”I’m spiraling. Full mental freak-out. “What the hell am I supposed to do?” I demand, trying to keep my

It’s been two weeks since we got stranded here in England, and my patience is wearing very thin with Alexis.I meant what I said—that her workday ends at 5 PM. That’s how it always should have been. But back then, I was trying to break her under the pressure. I thought if I pushed her hard enough, I could get her to snap. To need me. But she’s better at controlling herself than I gave her credit for.So now? I have a new strategy.I’m going to make her so full of lust, she’ll be the one who jumps me.Every morning, I walk around the suite in just my sweats. I make sure she catches me coming back from the gym in low-hanging basketball shorts. I leave the bathroom door open when I shower—towel slung low on my hips as I step out, dripping.We eat every meal together. I steer the conversation away from work and into personal territory. I study her. Learn her.And still? Nothing.How the fuck has she held out this long?I’m so wound up, I’ve started jerking off twice a day. At least.

What the hell am I doing?I was just pissed off at him. And now I’m telling him to fuck me?What in the ever-loving hell is going on?But I want him. Oh so badly.He’s been teasing me for two solid weeks and I don’t think I can take it anymore. I haven’t dared use my favorite vibrating friend—he could walk into the room at any moment. Instead, I’ve been fingering myself in the shower so often, I’m afraid the detachable showerhead will only work upside down from now on.I might’ve been able to resist him if we hadn’t been trapped together 24/7 for the past 14 days. But now? I can’t anymore.When he kissed me, I froze. It didn’t feel real at first. But Jonathan doesn’t let me stay frozen for long.One hand goes to the back of my head. The other grabs my ass and pulls me into him.I feel every hard ridge of his chest. The bulge in his pants, growing larger by the second.I can’t hold back anymore.I kiss him back. Open my lips to him. My fingers thread through his hair as I moan—compl

She challenged me.My sweet, wicked little pet had the audacity to call me out. To test me.After I made her cum with my fingers like she’d been starved for it? After I felt her soaking thighs and saw that blush staining her chest?No.She wanted proof? She was about to get all of it.I shove her back on the bed, hook her leg over my shoulder, and drive inside her in one hard thrust.I’d planned to go slow. Make our first time something soft, something passionate.But she had to push. Had to brat. And no dom alive could be gentle after that.She’s so fucking tight. Like she hasn’t had a good dicking in months. And maybe she hasn’t—she’s been too damn busy working herself to the bone for me.That ends now. She’s mine. And no one else will ever touch her again.I start hammering into her, not holding back. She’s already close—I can feel her fluttering around me.“You gonna cum for me, pet?” I growl, breath ragged.“God, yes! Fuck me—make me cum!” she cries out.I sit up, roll he

I wake to soft sunlight kissing my face and silky sheets wrapped around my body.For a split second, I let myself drift, sinking back into the luxurious bed… until my brain clicks.Jonathan’s bed.“Oh fuck!” I shoot upright, clutching the sheets to my chest like they’ll protect me from my own memories.The suite’s quiet. The bathroom door’s open, no sound of water. The balcony is empty. I don’t see him anywhere.Maybe he’s at his gym time? Maybe I wore him out and he needed to refuel?…That last part makes me smile like an idiot. And that leads to the images. Every filthy, perfect thing we did yesterday. The delicious ache between my thighs. The constellation of hickeys across my breasts and stomach. The way he whispered how much he wanted me even as he fucked me senseless.I flop back onto the bed with a squeal, the sheet pulled over my head as I kick my feet like a giddy teenager.Which is, of course, when he decides to reappear.“Did you find something exciting in bed without me?”

Fucking hell, this woman is a goddess in the bedroom.Regal, poised, maddening in her everyday life—but the moment we cross that threshold, Alexis becomes my perfect submissive. I’d never suspected she was part of the scene. My detective hadn’t uncovered a damn thing about it.Turns out she had an ex-boyfriend back in college—a wannabe dom who worked nights at a club and trained at a sex club in his spare time. She said he was a shit boyfriend with a one-track mind, but he introduced her to BDSM. After they broke up, she explored on her own, though she hadn’t had much time since she started working for me.No worries. I’m happy to reacquaint her with the lifestyle.She knows the basics, knows what she likes, and fuck if that doesn’t make my job a hell of a lot easier.“How did you get into the scene?” she asks as we soak in the tub, post-breakfast-sex. She’s behind me, her arms wrapped around my chest, fingers trailing lazily along my skin. My head rests on her shoulder. I could stay l

Sunday night, Jonathan and I are lying in bed—where we’ve spent almost the entire weekend. That man… whew. I have never been so thoroughly dominated without toys, restraints, or a contract in my entire life. Just a few simple words or a perfectly-timed smack to my ass or tits, and I’m putty in his hands.He’s only left the bed a few times to grab food. Otherwise, it’s been the bedroom or the bathroom the entire weekend. Right now, he’s spooning me, his hand lazily drawing circles up and down my arm. Somehow, even this little touch feels sensual. Not sexual, but intimate. Comforting. A perfect dose of aftercare after the intense forced orgasms he gave me earlier.“We need to talk,” Jonathan says, his voice taking on a harder edge.“Uh-oh,” I say, sitting up. “Knew it.”He looks confused. “Knew what?”“You got what you wanted—and now you’re done with me.” I start to stand, my stomach knotting.“What? No!” he blurts, grabbing me by the waist and pulling me to straddle him. “Alexis, no. Th

Over the next week, Lexi and I settle into a rhythm. I wake up around five every morning and head downstairs for my scheduled gym time. I either run five miles, do some yoga and flexibility training, or lift. It takes about 30 to 45 minutes, then I grab a quick shower.When I come back, Lexi—my Lexi—is usually still asleep. Which means I get to decide how I’m going to wake her up.Will I bury my face between her thighs? Tease her nipples until she whimpers? Rub my cock through her folds until she’s so wet I slide right in? Maybe finger her just enough to edge her, then fuck her into the mattress?All great options. And I’ve used each one. It’s my favorite part of the day—hearing that first sleepy moan of pleasure, watching her eyes flutter open, filled with lust. For me.After about an hour in bed—and another thirty minutes in the shower—we dress and have breakfast together. Work starts at nine sharp. That’s when we switch back to Mr. Wilson and Ms. Park. I’m not the same hardass I use

Love in the Time of Quarantine Chapter 30: Jorge
I’m standing outside the girls’ apartment—our old apartment—with a picnic basket of baked goods and a cooler full of drinks, fruit, and toppings. I brought muffins, cinnamon rolls, danishes, cinnamon raisin bread, and fresh bagels.Okay, I went a little overboard. I can admit that. I’m just so fucking anxious, I don’t know what to do with myself.I was already awake when Andie’s text came through last night, replaying everything Angel had said to me earlier. I’d been scrolling through old photos of Andie and Jaime, staring at all the joy I used to have. I miss them so damn much. It took losing them to understand exactly how badly I’d fucked up.I didn’t even hesitate. I texted back immediately that I’d bring breakfast.And for the first time in a while, I fell asleep without any trouble.Granted, it was only for a few hours—I had to make deliveries at the bakery this morning—but I got there early, dropped everything off, and grabbed the best of the morning’s offerings for them.Now I’v
Love in the Time of Quarantine Chapter 29: Jaime
I’ve been tossing and turning in bed all night after listening to everything Angel and Maddie said tonight.“You three belong together.”“He loves you.”“He wants you back.”“What do you have to lose if you do call him?”I know what my heart wants. I also know what my heart is afraid is going to happen. How can I allow him to possibly hurt me—us—all over again?What’s the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result? Wouldn’t it be insane to let him back into our lives and hope it ends differently?Angel and Marta have both said he’s reduced his hours at the business. That they’ve hired new people. That he’s learned his lesson. Could it be true? Could he really have changed for us, even if he didn’t think we’d ever come back?I don’t know.We’ve been in bed since midnight, and it’s now 3 a.m. With a huge sigh, I get up and grab my robe, tying it tightly around me. I can’t lay here any longer. And if I keep shifting, I’m going to wake
Love in the Time of Quarantine Chapter 28: Andie
Jaime and I go about making dinner in silence. We’re a well-oiled machine at this point, moving easily around each other in our kitchen. Angel and her partner Maddie are coming over tonight for dinner and to play cards.It’s something we started back in college with Angel—a weekly card game. Each week, someone picks the game we play, and once a year, each of us is supposed to introduce a new card game. We use candy and snack foods for any games that require betting. It’s more about hanging out and having fun than anything else.Maddie and Angel have been very careful about who they let into their circle, as have we, so we all feel comfortable being around each other, even with COVID still going on.Unfortunately, this is how much of our life has been since Jorge left: a silent orbit around each other. We hold each other through the tears and the pain, but we don’t really talk.I mean, what’s there to say?We’re enough for each other—but not for the man we love.It hurts. And we’re grie

“Angel, do you have tomorrow’s shipment of bread all packaged? Carmello’s needs the delivery an hour early. I’d like to be able to have everything on rolling carts so I can just load up the trucks the second I get here,” I call to Angel.When she first started working with me, I had brought Angel on just as a delivery driver. But over the last two months, I have consciously tried to pull myself back from the business, and I’ve made Angel a partner. We have three drivers, a part-time baker, and two part-time packagers. I’ve cut my hours back so that I’m working nine-hour days, as opposed to the sixteen-hour days I was working before.The only reason that I’m driving tomorrow is because our early morning guy took the day off. Otherwise, I’ve even built in Wednesdays and Sundays as days off.“Yes, everything’s all ready. Just waiting for the last batch to finish cooling before we get it packaged. I’ll get that done in the next hour,” Angel tells me.I let out a huge sigh. “Ok. I’m heading
Love in the Time of Quarantine Chapter 26: Jaime
It’s been a week since our last interaction with Jorge. We’ve been communicating via text and notes left at the apartment. The morning after our breakup, Jorge was gone before Andie and I even woke up. He’d packed a bag and left a note saying he’d be in and out while we were at work over the coming week.He’s moving into an apartment over his parents’ restaurant. It used to be his dad’s office, and over the years, various family members have crashed there when they were in the doghouse with their wives or girlfriends.Not a bad place—but not exactly the kind of space you’d expect someone with a thriving business to live in. Still, with COVID still bad, Jorge decided to stay somewhere only family had been. Said it was safer.Trying to decide what belongs to who over text is awful.I’d honestly thought Jorge was the one. The guy I’d spend the rest of my life with. When we added Andie into our lives, it felt perfect. For a while.So we bought everything together—TV, couch, microwave. Even
Love in the Time of Quarantine Chapter 25: Andie
In that way that grief between people who love each other will sometimes turn sexual, when Jorge turns to Jaime and kisses her, she kisses him back.I lean in and kiss the side of his face. He turns toward me and—God—it feels good to kiss him. I’ve missed him so damn much. It’s been too damn long.Jaime brings his mouth back to hers, their kiss hungry and desperate. My hands go to the bottom of the hoodie he’s wearing and I rip it off of him.Jaime finds his mouth again, and I lean down, licking his nipples. He groans into Jaime’s mouth, his body tensing in arousal. He loves having his nipples played with. At the same time, I rake my nails down his abs.Jorge pulls back from Jaime’s mouth to look down at me. “Please. I need you both.” His voice is so full of need.I look at Jaime, asking if she’s okay with this. Because this is going to be an end, not a reconciliation. But I want this. I need him.Jaime nods, both of us catching the motion.Jorge surges from the chair, knocking it to t
Love in the Time of Quarantine Chapter 24: Jorge
Andie looks between Jaime and me, and I can tell she immediately understands what’s going on. She’s always had that ability—to take in a situation at a glance and know exactly what’s happening. I guess that’s what makes her such a good programmer.And an expert at calling me on my bullshit.Ever since the day I triggered Jaime’s meltdown, Andie’s been more distant with me. I think she realized that, even though the promises I made to her and Jaime were heartfelt, they weren’t ones I could keep.The time I managed to get after that? It felt more like it was for Jaime’s benefit than for Andie’s. As introverted and quiet as she appears, Andie doesn’t take shit from anyone.She gave me more rope than I deserved. And I guess I finally used it to hang myself.“How far are we into this conversation?” Andie asks calmly.I blink at her, caught off guard by how level her voice is.Jaime answers instead. “I told him he’s not treating us like priorities. That the last chance we gave him was the la
Love in the Time of Quarantine Chapter 23: Jaime
I’m sitting on the couch flipping through TV channels when Jorge walks in. It’s been two days since our failed date night, and this is the first time I’ve seen him for more than a passing second. He’s dressed in sweats and a tank top, hair wet from a shower—he must’ve just come back from a run.Andie and I have been sleeping in her old room ever since that night. With the hours he’s been keeping, I don’t really know what he’s up to anymore.Honestly? I don’t know if I can even muster the energy to care. Every time I try, it just ends up hurting.“Hey…” Jorge says tentatively, sitting on the arm of the couch.I glance over. “Hey,” I reply, then turn my attention back to the TV.“Um… where’s Andie?” he asks, like he’s not sure what to say.“Doctor’s appointment and then grocery shopping.” My responses aren’t angry—just short. I give the remote a voice command to switch to N*****x and start scrolling through options, skipping past the show I actually want to watch.Shadow and Bone. Can’
