Hi! Yesterday i wrote an outline for myself of what I wanted to happen. And it's going to take a tiny bit longer until you read Cas' pov of the phone call. I don't want to move too fast and I need Cas to have a backup plan.
Cas’ pov That night, my father took me out for drinks. But it was a surprise bachelor party at some high-end strip club. I sat there, looking at women dance, not bothering to engage. I drank way too much, hoping to drown out this feeling of vulnerability. Of not feeling worthy of, I don’t fucking know. All I know is that it felt wrong. Everything about the situation I am in feels wrong. This world I’m in doesn’t feel like mine anymore. The people who surround me feel fake and annoy me. And even the women that hit on me weren’t interesting to me. I handed them money and told them to bother someone else, not feeling in the mood for a lap dance. Dad called me out for being in a mood, but I didn't fucking care what he thought. I didn't even want to come here. I never asked for a damn bachelor party to begin with, and I didn't give a fuck about any of the people here. I sat at the bar, drinking glass after glass of the most expensive wiskey, eventually just asking for the bottle to
Cas’ pov Kennedy and I were ushered to take pictures, and I stood there like a damn statue. “Smile!” “Okay, now look into her eyes!” “Kiss! But not with actual lips, but with your teeth. That looks better.” What the fuck? Kiss with your teeth? At least I didn't have to kiss her again, but that's just weird. I’m pretty sure I look the same in all of the photos, and if Kennedy or anybody else wants a better picture of me, they can fucking Photoshop me for all I care. Then, after the ridiculous pictures, we had to eat with everyone. “Maybe pretend like you actually want to be here." fxjKennedy said through gritted teeth, pretending to smile. “This is me pretending.” I countered. Just because I married Kennedy does not mean I suddenly like social engagement or big parties. It doesn’t mean I suddenly feel the need to be nice or entertaining. There was an announcement through the speakers for us to have our first dance, and I so badly wanted to decline, but I knew this was one thi
Ripley’s pov “Hello?” I answered, unsure if I should pick up the phone. I’ve had calls from various people asking me for interviews and even distant relatives that tried to get me to spill the beans, probably so they could sell the story. Even mom sent me an email, which I have been too scared to read. But this was the realtor who had helped me look for a house, so he wouldn’t be calling because I was in the news, right? “Hi, Ripley. This is Mary; we met a few weeks ago when you were looking to buy a new house. I’ve seen your name pop up in the news…” O crap. “And I felt the need to call. As you know, the house you loved was bought by another couple.” “Yes?” What was she trying to say? “Well, they just backed out of the sale due to financial issues. The house will go back on the market tomorrow. Since you’re going through a lot right now, I wanted to give you the chance to offer a bid on the house before the rest could.” Mary said. The house, the perfect house with a large gar
Cas’ pov I stumbled into my room, drunk as a fucking skunk, and took my pants off. My pants were too fucking tight and warm. Kennedy walked towards me, wearing nothing but some black lingerie. “I can help.” She said seductively. “I don’t want your fucking help,” I snarled. “I can make you feel good. You know I can.” Kennedy tried again. Maybe I should give in. She’s my wife. I promised to give it a real chance. But fuck, I hate her. “Turn around,” I ordered, not wanting to see her face. I grabbed her throat and, with my other hand, grabbed one of her breasts, pushing the bra down and letting them spill free. No. It felt wrong. Even though the alcohol was clouding my mind, my gut told me to stop. It also told me I needed to throw up. I let go of Kennedy, rushing through the bathroom before locking the door behind me. “Cas?” "It's fucking Cassius to you. There are only three people allowed to call me that, and you’ll never be one of them!” I shouted before emptying my guts
Ripley’s pov It hasn’t rained this hard in a while. A loud thunderclap followed the lighting that was brightening my apartment. Thankfully, my girls could sleep through everything, even after what happened with their grandparents. Nope, they don’t deserve the title anymore. Even as a kid, I found the rain soothing. The sounds of it hitting the windows, and while Oliver had always been nervous when I looked out of the window to watch the lightning, I loved it. But tonight, it made me nervous. Maybe it wasn’t the storm that was making me anxious, but the move to another house. Or the fact that even after Cas let me hear him do something so intimate and cruel, he would still be so kind to my girls. I never planned on finding a new father for them. Oliver was their dad, and any man I dated would have to accept that he wouldn’t be more than a stepdad. Out of guilt for Oliver, I guess. But it was clear both girls wanted that male influence. That they even needed it. But to let Cas
Cas’ pov My arms were holding her tightly as she wrapped her legs around my waist. God, how badly I wanted to fuck her right now. She must have read my mind, because after that sizzling kiss, she stopped to look at me. Her lips were swollen, and her cheeks were flushed. “The girls will wake up soon.” “So I’ll be quick.” I joked. The most beautiful giggle in the world came from Ripley’s lips. “You don’t do quick. You do it all night. I remember you bragging.” “It’s not bragging if it’s true.” Ripley bit her lip, “I really want you, but not like this. I want our first time to be special. There should be no distraction or little girls who will call out because they need to pee.” “But we can still fool around?” I asked, squeezing her ass with my hands. “Definitely,” Ripley said, before kissing me like no other woman has ever kissed me. On the way over here, I prayed for our conversation to go well, but my hopes weren’t up. I’m not a big positive thinker, and I tend to fuck things
Cas’ pov “Mommy!!!” “It’s River.” Ripley sighed. “I’m sorry.” “Don’t apologize, Ley.” While I would much rather fuck Ripley right now, it wasn’t really something she had a choice in. And I have parents that don’t give a crap about me, so it’s actually nice seeing Ripley care for her daughters. It’s nice to see her be there for them. She actually goes to them when they call out in the night. Ripley put her shirt back on and walked to the room, a tiny bit of her ass sticking out from the bottom. God, she looked good in anything. I could hear her through the baby monitor. “Riri, do you need to pee or a hug?” “Both.” River said in a sleepy voice. “I had a dweam.” “What did you dream?” “Thewe was a monstew.” River said. Ripley’s voice came through the monitor, “monsters aren’t real, River, but if they were, mommy would beat them up and yell at them. You know how scary I can be when I get angry.” I couldn’t see what Ripley was doing, but River was giggling. It was hard to imagine
Ripley’s pov I felt Cas’ arms around me and his dick pressing up against my butt. The light was shining through the curtains, and I wondered if I was dreaming. Too scared to open my eyes, to check if this was real, I snuggled even closer to Cas. “Ley… stop rubbing against me, because, -“ A little voice interrupted Cas. “Mommy, why is Cas hewe?” Shit! I opened my eyes to see Rose and River staring at me. “Fuuuuc…..” Cas said, stopping himself in time. I had wanted to take things slow around the girl. It would have been better if they just saw him as my friend at first before doing anything romantic around them. But now they saw me cuddling him in bed. And he was naked. I vaguely remember Cas complaining in the night that my pants were too tight. “Can we lay on the blankets too?” Rose asked. “Um. Maybe later? Right now, mommy really needs to pee.” I said. “You’re leaving me alone like this.” Cas hissed in my ear, pressing his manhood against me once more. I giggled, “you kno
Cassius pov“You’re so fucking beautiful.”“Language, dad.” Rose scolded me.I rolled my eyes, “you know what I mean. You are the perfect bride, Raven.”Seeing my youngest daughter get married reminded me of my own wedding. Ripley and I had wanted to do a quick wedding with just the three of us, not knowing at the time she was already pregnant with our middle child, Rayne.After we went to Malachi’s and Kennedy’s wedding, Ripley had wanted to get married in Europe too. But instead of France, she chose Greece.Even now, twenty plus years later, I can still remember how fucking gorgeous the country was. The white building, the blue ocean, my perfect bride in her summer dress.It was simple, but it suited us both. I didn’t need a big fucking wedding. I just needed my girls there. Rose and River wore matching dresses; they were so fucking cute. We had done the official part at home, at city hall. Ripley had asked two of the hotel staff to be our witnesses—two people who were now friends.T
Malachi’s povShe smelled and tasted even better than I remembered. I loved seeing that bump above me as I ate her pussy out. I kept my promise; I made her cum every time she told me she loved me.By the end of it, she didn't seem shy about it any longer; all the awkwardness between us was gone.She loves me, and I love her. And I intend to show her in every way possible.Once her legs felt putty and she couldn't move, I carried her to her room.“This is going to be our room now.” I stated, and she smiled at me.“Can you go inside the closet and grab that little bag for me?” she asked.I did what my woman asked me to do, looking for a small bag. I suspected it was my ring but didn’t want to assume.Once I found the bag, I handed it to her, and she took out a little box."Malachi Ford, you're nothing like what I ever imagined my husband would be like, but exactly what I need. You’re a sweetheart; you love to dance and sing, and your fashion sense is growing on me.”I chuckled at her wor
Kennedy’s povLong story short, I heard everything. Yeah, it’s an invasion of fucking privacy, blablabla. It’s my home! If I want to watch the security cameras for a bit, just to make sure everything is okay, then I can.I mean, it wasn’t like I was spying on them.Okay, I sort of was, but who cares?Malachi loves me. He said so twice now, so it’s like a fact at this point.And if he does get upset I eavesdropped, then he should also get angry at Leon, because that sneaky little man must have overheard my call with Cassius and Ripley.Yes. I talked to them. Of all people.But it wasn’t even about Malachi. They called me to see how everything was going after Juliette’s death and offered their sympathies. It was just a normal conversation until the fucker, Cassius, of course, started annoying me.He asked about the wedding and a bunch of other shit, that doesn’t seem really important right now. And then he started teasing me, like a fucking child.Ripley tried to stop him, well, sort of;
Malachi’s povHow do I even start?I wish I could put this off. I wish I could just wait a bit, but we have to go to France so Leon can say goodbye if he wants to. I read everything I could online about young children and death, and they all suggest letting the kids have a choice.Both the funeral and her burial will take place there.I can’t let my own feelings get in the way. I am angry; I’m sad. I’m so many things, but none of them are important right now.Is that what it’s like to be a parent? Putting someone else first, always? I respect momma in a whole new way.Every time I asked about my dad, did she hurt as well? She never showed it.“Papa?” Leon said, looking at me with big eyes.He’s so beautiful. Such an amazing kid.I swallowed, trying to keep my voice from breaking.Things were awkward between me and Kennedy because we almost kissed. But she was still here, her hand on my shoulder, trying to keep me sane.She’s a good woman. A good mother. And I am lucky to have her here.
Malachi’s pov“Do you believe in god?”Kennedy sighed. Our morning did not get off to a good start. I may or may not have assumed she had told Leon when I saw her holding him and crying.Thankfully I didn’t just yell out something stupid, but the damage was done anyway.The rest of the day had been awkward, and I still had not told Leon about his mother’s death.It surprised me that Kennedy stayed behind after our fight. She could have left. Leon wasn’t her responsibility, and she’s supposed to go to work. But she didn’t.Instead, she worked from home.Leon was now taking a nap, and Kennedy had just ordered lunch, so I thought it was a safe moment to talk to her. Guess I was wrong.“Why?”“I don’t know. Just... do you believe in God?" I asked again.“I’m a Republican; of course I believe in God." Kennedy replied stoically.I don't think that's how it works, but okay.."So you go to church, pray, and all that?"She rolled her eyes, “that’s too much. I just believe in God. And I donate t
Kennedy’s pov“I’m sorry,” I muttered.“What?” Ripley asked.“Don’t make me repeat it, please. You heard me.”Ripley giggled, “you’re sorry for what?”“I don’t fucking know. Everything? I was a bitch to you. I didn’t even want Cassius the way you want him. I never loved the man. It was a pride thing. And I don’t like people messing with my plans. And you messed with my plans a whole fu- shit, how does Cassius not curse around these kids?”Ripley shrugged, “he tries. It doesn’t always work. But you were saying?”“Yeah, you messed with my plans. Threw everything in the trash, actually. Kind of ruined everything we had planned, and even when I tried to fight back, somehow you still came out on top.”“Not every time. I was really miserable, and some of the things you did had a major effect on my and the girls’ lives.”I sighed, fuck… Why isn’t sorry enough? Why do I have to explain myself or whatever.“Look, I can go into a whole thing and explain my reasons. But we both know they were pre
Cassius pov“Um, so, fuck it. Do you want to come over so the girls can play with Leon?” Kennedy’s voice asked me on the other end of the phone.I should have never answered the phone when I saw her name pop up on the caller ID. We were having a relaxing day, the girls were almost ready to take a nap, which meant afternoon sex for me and Ripley while they slept.The naps could last for an hour or sometimes only twenty minutes, but it made things exciting, not knowing how much time we had to spend. And a quicky is still sex.Before I could say no, Ley took the phone from my fucking hands. Sneaky girl.“We’d love to; the girls can nap on the way over.”And now we weren’t having our afternoon sexy time? Hell to the fucking no.But Ripley had said goodbye to Kennedy and handed me back the phone. “Stop pouting, Cas. I’ll make it up to you tonight.”“You better…” I teased my fiancé.She rolled her eyes, “or what?”“Oh, you’ll see…” I winked at her with my smirk that she loved to hate.Ley ig
Malachi’s povShe looked damn good. I had imagined what Kennedy would look like when she was pregnant, but this was beyond my imagination.She looked beautiful and hot. The thought that this woman is carrying my baby is sexy as hell, but I can’t let her see it.Especially not after she disappeared for no good reason.We had talked for those two weeks. It wasn’t like she went no-contact. She just never mentioned she was out of the country.I was dealing with a lot myself, so when she said she didn’t have time for a date, I didn’t really care.Okay, that was a lie. I had grown to enjoy our dates. For someone who acts like she doesn’t care about anyone but herself, she is a very good listener. And she gives pretty good advice too, although a bit cold.But when you’re dealing with death, childcare, a wedding, and a bunch of other stuff, it’s nice to have someone who doesn’t get stressed out. She is calm, mostly because she buries everything. Which isn’t healthy at all. But that’s an issue
Kennedy“So you really don’t see anything wrong with what you did?” Malachi asked over the phone.How could I explain the need to leave for two weeks without giving much of an explanation.Should I just tell them the complete list of shit I am dealing with right now?First of fucking all, I am having a boy. Hooray! But no.Seriously…. My entire fucking life, I had known I would get a girl that would be just like me. It was already a thing to realize that I’d be having a mixed-race girl. Not because they’re not beautiful and pretty—I mean, they’re arguably more pretty—but because it means my daughter will not be a perfect copy.Yeah, now that I am saying it out loud. Or, thinking about it, I realize how crazy that sounds.So I will not be telling Malachi any of that.We found out that we’re having a boy, and his mother was there too. She’s a lovely lady, I guess. Very intimating, but I respect that in a woman. No bullshit attitude.She gave me some speech on how I should treat her son r
