As a stall door opens and an older woman steps out, gives Jackson a quick up and down, and then offers, “I’ll do you if you want.” Without Monica’s fire, this restroom seems seedy and dirty now. Or perhaps it is not the place, but simply the lack of the woman he desires. He wants to be back with Monica, her mouth giving as well as taking, her body writhing for closeness to his as she makes that melodious moaning sound again. Startled, he blinks, spins on his heel, and strides out of the restroom. He scans the dance floor once more but doesn't see either Monica or the other ladies. Hopefully, they all left together and are back at their apartments getting some rest to prepare for tomorrow like Monica said. As he thinks he will do the same. Being at the apartment Monica inhales and exhales as she bends to take out the spare key of her apartment from under the flower pot. But she doesn't sees it. She gets frantic as her soul tells her something inside her apartment is waiting for her r
Jackson's dog definitely likes to push him around, and the sound of his alarm clock means one thing . . . time for his human to feed him. “Not now Xerx, you’ll get your food soon. But you won’t get as much if you don’t stop barking,” Jackson tells him. Xerxes yaps one more time then goes quiet, rolling onto his back and offering his belly for a rub. He was a regular belly rub slut. Jackson shakes his head at his antics, rubbing gently and cooing a kind ‘good morning’. Once he was calmed down, he lies back in bed with his arm behind his head and thinks about his dream . . . and last night. Monica’s lips and tongue, the way she tasted, and her responsiveness are seared into his little brain. None of it’s helpful for his hard-on that has returned, pulsing and leaking underneath the sheet. Following Monica to the club and pursuing her was a spontaneous decision, the kiss even more so. Professionally, it probably was not the bestmove, but personally, Jackson loved every second of it. The
Originally a military armory and powder magazine owned by The Sun King, Louis XIV, the orphanage was started by Napoleon III before yet again they decided that royalty was something they were better off without. Now, it’s one of the largest non-religious children’s homes in Paris, andas Jackson pulls up, he thinks about this ritual. He typically comes on Saturday mornings, but with the weekly competitions culminating with Saturday evening fashion shows, he have made other arrangements for the next few weeks because the care given here is close to his heart and he wouldn’t dream of skipping hai visits. He parks, smiling to himself as he sees that his five charges are already outside, warming up by kicking a soccer ball around. There is tall, blond and lanky Claude, who can jump like a mountain goat yet somehow stumbles over every pebble in his path. Or sometimes even when there’s nothing but air in his way. There’s Raphael, who’s dark, deep-voiced, and stocky. Though still a teen, he
“I have been appealing to the mayor and the city officials, trying to do what I can,” Jackson tells the boys as they stretch their calves. “Homelessness is a multi-faceted problem, and installing outdoor piss stations isn’t the solution.” “Might as well piss on the mayor, for all the good it’ll do you,” Theodore says. “Seriously, Jackson, what good is appealing to a bunch of selfish assholes who complain about the availability of caviar or whether the foie gras is authentic? They’re not going to care about us unless it benefits them.” “Someone’s got to care. I care,” Jackson points out. They lie down in the grass, doing flutter kicks for their stomachs. “I’m going to keep coming, checking on you, doing parkour. You keep working hard in your studies, developing yourselves. And when you get out there, I promise you I’ll help you find jobs, maybe even a girlfriend or two.” “Stop,” Jamaica says angrily. “Cut the shit, Jackson! Girlfriends? Come on, we are barely above street trash! You re
Already, ideas were whirling through Monica's mind. “Please select a card with your model’s name and measurements,” Tobias instructs, holding up five white cards with the House Corbin logo visible. Katarina runs toward him, her heels clicking on the floor. She snatches a card and dashes back in line with it pressed to her chest. The remaining four of them look at her and then each other and then attack Tobias for cards of their own. “Ladies, you don’t even know what you are fighting for. All of the models are suitable, I assure you.” Monica grabs one and holds it tightly as though Yori might steal it from her, but it was with a smile because they were all laughing at their own outrageousness. “Mine, mine, mine,” Monica drawls out, mimicking the seagulls in Finding Nemo. Only Molly seems to get it. “Shut up, you rats with wings,” Molly answers. They meet eyes, grinning like loons. Monica looks at her card. Jeanette. The accompanying photo shows a gorgeous woman with short, tight natur
Monica looks over to Molly, knowing that she can mostly only curse in the other languages she knows, but she seems to be doing fine. They were chatting it up like long-lost besties. “It’s okay,” Monica assures Jeanette. Fashion is a global, multi-linguistic industry, and she won’t let this first obstacle stop her. “We’ll figure it out.” Monica points it out to herself. “America. Massachusetts.”Jeanette thinks for a moment and then says, “France. Marseilles.” Monica flashed her a thumbs-up and then holds up his tablet. Pointing to her eye and then the fabric, she asked, “See clothes?” “Yes!” she answers confidently, knowing that word for sure. She shows her several of the sketches she have been playing with, eyeing the screen and then Jeanette’s body. She can visualize the completed outfits, flattering designs that will highlight a woman’s shape and be timeless and exciting. Monica opened a new page and sketch a caftan type dress with a low V-neck and mirrored low V-back. Monica adds
If Monica were in heels, she would have busted it on this tile floor. Hell, she might still fall in the flats as fast as Tobias was hustling. “Did you know ferrets can get the flu?” He keeps running, keeps talking, not letting her answer. But no, she did not know that ferret flu is a real thing. “It’s a big deal because it’s a working ferret, so he was got to get healthy.” “I’m sorry, did you say a ‘working ferret’?” Tobias laughs at Monica's confusion. “I didn’t know either. He’s trained to run cables through walls. They cut a hole for him to start and one where he needsto exit. Release him inside, and then use a little clicker at the exit, and he will go along until he gets there.” Monica blink, not sure if he was fucking with her. His expression is earnest, but seriously? “Well, I hope he’s okay.” It seems like the safest response. “So do you need me to run cables?” It’s all she can think of based on whatever he was talking about. Tobias blinks, looking at her like she was the o
Involuntarily, Jackson's breath catches at seeing her very nearly on her knees in front of him. Is she trying to drive him crazy? If so, it’s sure as fuck working. “Take these off,” she orders. Unfortunately, she was talking about his shoes, not his pants. She assists, pulling the loafers off, followed by his black dress socks. As a model, he was accustomed to dressers helping him put on pieces or take them off. Sometimes, they were fragile, or one of a kind, or they didn't want him bending around and getting things wrinkled. It’s never seemed as intimate as it doesnow. “Put these on.” Monica was holding out a striped sock, and though he was not sure of her vision, he lifts his bare foot and she slips the sock over his toes. He can’t help but Wiggles and she laughs. “Ticklish?” “A little,” Jackson confesses. She looks up, shooting him a small smile. “Your secret’s safe with me,” she vows with a playful wink. She grabs a pair of black leather lace-up shoes and ties him into them as w
