While their night out was ongoing, a lady in the group noticed Autumn's ring and admired it, making everyone notice it and admire it too. Some of them asked her when she got married, and she was forced to lie that she's been married for six months. Soon, drinks started flowing and their lips loosen, they started to share stories about themselves and gossipped about their colleagues, but Autumn made sure not to let anything slip out about Perry. Their happy hours ended much later than usual, and most, if not all of them were quite tipsy. A number of them offered to drive Autumn home but she refused, saying she'd call her husband. Olive, Jax, and Lisa offered to wait with her until her husband came, but she refused and they left not quite long after. When she was sure that every single one of them had left, she walked outside the bar and decided to call Perry. She almost already knew what his reply was going to be to her request, but she decided to try her luck. She dialed hi
As the guy was about to touch her clothes, they heard a loud yell, and they turned around to see Perry standing at the entrance of the alley with a bat in his hand. "Let her go right now if you don't wanna die," he said to them firmly as he walked further closer to them. When Autumn sent Perry her address, he became worried. He knew about the thugs in that area, and how people have always complained bitterly about them. The news has even carried several times that people shouldn't stay out late in that area. He knew Autumn had no idea about this, and the only way to make sure she doesn't get hurt by anyone was to get there fast. He had almost driven the car to the front of the bar when he saw some men roughly carrying her away, and he knew immediately that those were the thugs. He parked his car in front of the bar and followed them to the dark alley, unknown to them. "And who are you?" Their leader, who harassed Autumn, turned to Perry and said to him. "Someone big eno
Perry lifted his hand toward her mouth and ran his thumb across her lower lip. She stared at his eyes as they fixated on her mouth. Unconsciously she ran her tongue across her lips. Inhaling in a quick shuddering breath, his eyes whipped up towards her own. Agonizingly long seconds ticked by as she drowned in his stare. A spark of fire in his eyes was the only warning before his hand reached into her hair to firmly grasp her scalp and dragged her mouth to meet his own. As his right hand held her head firmly in place, his left hand lifted to her left cheek in a caress. Softly kissing her closed mouth, Perry ran his tongue across the seam of her lips asking permission for entry. Running her hands against his chest she felt the racing of his heart. Opening to his questing tongue she released a sigh of defeated submission. Shivers racked her body as her pussy gushed expectantly, readying herself for his command of her body. Leaning back into the couch, he pulled her toward hi
"Am I interrupting something?" Jax asked innocently as he looked from Autumn's face to a glaring Perry and back to Autumn's. "I can excuse you if—" "It's totally fine, Jax," Autumn replied to him, making Perry's head snap in her direction immediately. It was one thing that he was angry at the disturbance already, and now, she told him that it was fine. He let out a loud scoff, making both heads look in his direction. Seeing that he had gained the attention of both of them, he turned to face Jax. "How may I help you?" "Oh," Jax shook his head gently and replied to him. "I'm here to see Autumn." "Why would you be asking to see my secretary at this time of the day when both of you ought to be at your desks working?" He asked Jax with raised eyebrows and folded his arms. "She forgot her handkerchief with me yesterday and I came here to return it," Jax simply replied, his voice and face still calm as ever. If it were another worker, he or she would have been fidgeting due to
"Miss Lucille," Perry replied to the lady calmly, trying his best to not make a fuss about the way he was being touched without his consent. One thing he hated after lies was unnecessary body touches, but he couldn't shun Lucille because she would most likely report him to her father . By doing this, her father would inform his father and something else could come out of it. Besides, she was the one her father had in mind to matchmaking him with when he and Gloria didn't work out. He took both of her hands and pulled them away from her face. "Let's have our seats and start the meeting," Perry said, trying his best to make it official, despite how Lucille was making it seem like an unofficial meeting. They all had their seats and soon, the meeting began. Lucille however, kept on eyeing Perry. While the meeting was on, she'd randomly told him that she had missed him for a long time and that he never made time to see her. She even fussed over his bruised face and kept on askin
"Stop the fucking car!" Perry snapped at the driver, and he brought the car to a halt immediately after he made sure to park on the safe side of the road. "What's going on?" Autumn asked with a confused look on her face as she wondered why he gave that order to the driver. As soon as the driver parked the car, Perry turned to face Autumn, a dead serious look on his face. "Are you even aware of the person you're married to?" He asked her with raised eyebrows, then scoffed. "Have you forgotten so quickly the position my family holds in the whole of Las Vegas?" "So?" She questioned him, not seeing the reason for bringing up his family. "What about it?" "Just in case you didn't know beforehand, which I'm sure you do, the Moore family is one of the most powerful families in the nation, and if I don't attend the ball, the repercussions will be worse than going alone." Judging by how serious he looked, Autumn decided not to press the issue forward. However, deep down in her mind
That evening, Autumn decided to make dinner for them, as she thought of every possible way to make Perry go for the retreat once. Ever since she heard that he had never for once attended it, she felt obligated to force him to go, just that she had no way to. She was still mixing a couple of ingredients for their dinner when Perry walked into the kitchen in a loose top and shorts. "What's for dinner?" He asked as he walked in, calling Autumn's attention to him. Her back was in his direction while she faced the slab, on which she was slicing some cabbages and onions on a tray. When she heard his voice, she turned to look at him for a second, but instead, had a double take. She stared at his wet mane of mid-length dark brown hair. It was a beautiful sight to see. "I thought you complained about the shower?" Seeing that he just had a shower, she asked as she turned back to face what she was cutting. "Shit like that doesn't take long for me to fix. It's been fixed," he replied
The day before the retreat, Perry faked being sick. To make it seem so real to convince Autumn that he was indeed sick, he called Khalid to come over to help him out. That morning, Autumn opened the front door and was shocked to see Khalid standing there with shopping nylon. If Perry was aware, he would have informed her beforehand that Khalid was coming over, but here he was on an impromptu visit. "Uhm… hi! How're you doing? Come in, please," she ushered him in immediately, then closed the door behind him. "Perry is still asleep. Will you wait or you'll go meet him upstairs?" "He called me not quite long ago because he thought he might have a fever. That's why I came rushing here with the drugs I went to buy for him just now," he raised the shopping nylon in his hand for her to see. "He's sick?" A look of worry appeared on her face immediately. They were in the same house and she had no idea. "I'll go check him up," she said and without waiting for Khalid's reply, she ru
