“I need to show you how a queen should be treated, and make sure you know that you should never settle for the second best.”She finally freed my finger from the grip of her teeth, and I let my index and middle finger stroke down her chin, and further down her neck. Then over her collarbones and down between her breasts, and I kept holding her gaze to make sure I would pick up on even the tiniest sign that could tell me she felt uncomfortable. But her eyes were fiery, and her lips were moist and parted, nonverbally telling me she wanted more.“May I show you?”She swallowed a moan when my fingers dipped lower, and took the trip down her abs.“Yes,” she whispered, and her eyes wandered to my lips. Then they closed when I finally reached between her legs and stroked my fingers where I knew she wanted it the most.“You’re beautiful.”I circled the contours of her pussy over her night shorts, and watched her spontaneous reaction. Her jaw slacked, her knees buckled, and she gripped my tank
“Hello, Satan.”“What do you want?” Bree barked.“Why did you cancel Martina’s order?”She laughed overbearingly.“Oh, that... Those flowers were hideous. Who wants to have Lilies of the Valley at their wedding?”My jaw dropped. The audacity!“You canceled the flowers, too?” I asked in disbelief.“Uhm, yeah? Someone has to take charge around here when you don’t. As always, you’re too busy screwing around to be useful at all.”“Me? How about leaving it to Martina? She’s the bride.”Once again, that mean chortle.“Yeah, right... She doesn’t have a clue what she’s doing. She even admitted so, and that’s why she asked for help.”“Help, yes. To pick out the napkins and arrange who should sit next to each other at the reception. Not you turning into the wedding planner from hell!”“Like you would know anything about that? You didn’t even help at your own wedding. You barely participated at all. And when you finally showed, you were hungover and disgusting. If it wasn’t for dad literally thr
“You’re quiet,” he said.“So there is someone. Who?”“I can’t tell you,” I muttered. I didn’t feel like being judged more than I already had.“Why?”“Because I can’t have her.”I actually felt sad saying that, and it scared me. Why the hell was I so obsessed with her?“And why is that?”I swallowed and contemplated what to say or not.“Because she’s too young and she’s married to someone else.”The doctor nodded and took more notes.“So you have set a limit for yourself. That’s good.”“Not really,” I mumbled, and he raised his eyebrows, expecting me to tell more.“I wouldn’t normally care about that. I mean, if she’s up for it...”I shrugged. There was the usual nonchalance and the detachment. It was shocking really how little I actually cared about other people’s feelings. What I did yesterday to make sure Catherine got her wish fulfilled, was a solid proof. And I didn’t really think about the consequences until now. I’d ruined a marriage for two people who loved each other. Damn.“A
“What?” I asked and shrugged.“You’re drinking a lot.”“No, I don’t.”She didn’t reply and that made me slightly insecure and quite pissed.“I like to drink, but I’m not an alcoholic if that’s what you think.”“Doesn’t matter. It’s unhealthy.”I groaned.“Everyone knows it’s bad for you, you don’t need to lecture me. But it’s a slow and delicious death.”I smirked and sat back.“I don’t only drink alcohol, though.”She raised an eyebrow and waited.“I drink a lot of tea. Actually, I even eat it.”I thoroughly enjoyed her confusion.“How is that possible?”“Oh, it’s possible.”I nodded to myself and signed for the waiter for another drink, just to piss her off. This date was actually starting to get interesting.“No, seriously. How can you eat something that is wet?” she pushed, and I already knew she’d hate the answer. Did I care? Not at all. It was funny as fuck. So I leaned forward on my elbows and locked my eyes with hers, while I grinned mischievously. Then I lowered my voice as i
Now, if the tables turned and you’re the one who was tying the ropes and holding the whip...“Shut up, Aar,” I mumbled to myself, and I felt her eyes burn into my skull.“What did you say?”“Uhm... Nothing. Oh! Look! My wife is coming,” I lied, and waved to a couple of ladies who just arrived. And by pure luck, one of them waved back. Her flickering eyes and confused smile was probably calling my bluff, but it distracted Ms. Vampire enough for me to pull out of her grip. I didn’t even say goodbye. I just ran towards the woman, threw my arms around her and kissed her until she started to protest.“Please play along!” I whisper-yelled into her ear, before I begged her with my eyes. But of course my drunken brain didn’t know where to draw the line, and I ended up cupping the globes of her ass and digging my face into her cleavage while blowing raspberries, until she pushed me away. Then there was a loud scoff and a slap, before she stormed off together with her friend. But the sting on m
She was close now. I knew from the way she was clinging to me, and how badly her legs were shaking. And I could hear some of her incoherent nonsense, just like last time.I stopped when she was about to tip over the edge. Every single fiber in me was screaming to be inside of her. To feel her velvety muscles clenching around my girth as I carefully pushed inside her. To bring her even more pleasure than I already did. So I pressed my forehead against hers and made her look at me, and grabbed her hand and placed it on my bulge. And just by the use of my gaze I made her understand what I wanted.“Yes.”One word that barely reached my ears, yet spoke in volumes so loud that it made my body explode. A slow explosion that kept building until it felt like I couldn’t take it anymore. I have never been as hard as I was now without bursting, and I already knew I wouldn’t last long. But I hurriedly pulled down our pants and underwear just enough to get access, and I continued rubbing her while
“There you are!” Melanie exclaimed when she saw me and waved me over.“We were just talking about going shopping for a while.”“We? As in...?”Please not me!“Catherine and I. The meeting with Drew Davis is at 2pm, and there’s not much happening before that. So if you don’t mind answering the phone while I’m gone, then I’ll take a couple of hours off, and us girls will finish with lunch at noon.”Both ladies smiled from ear to ear, and I was so relieved that I felt like jumping up and down.“Yes!” I said a bit too eagerly, and everybody stared at me.“Uhm... I mean, that sounds great.”“I’ll take you to pick up your car afterwards,” Catherine suggested, but I was quick to protest.“No! Gray will do that. Won’t you, Gray?”He didn’t hesitate to pick up on my plea.“Yeah, sure.”But Miklasruined it.“Muff’s,” he said.“We’re having the weekly checkup, remember?”I cursed inwardly and Gray gave me a look that was both apologetic and gave me a warning. And Catherine was about to say somet
“I know you too well,” she said, trying to sound triumphant. But there was something behind the tone in her voice that told me she was sad for some reason.“What do you usually watch, then? Don’t tell me you’re one of those people who hates porn, because I don’t believe that for a second.”“Of course not,” she giggled, and blushed.“I watch movies and sometimes DIY videos on YouTube about how to upcycle old clothes and furniture.”“Hah. Interesting.”I honestly had no idea she was the creative type. She always seemed so superficial. The topics didn’t interest me at all, but still...“What kind of movies do you like?”“You know, the usual girlie stuff. Romcoms and musicals.”I groaned. Of course she did. I already knew she had a pink bedspread with a flower-patterned throw, and a ton of fluffy pillows.“And you? Let me guess; action and thrillers?”“Well... Close. Thrillers and horror movies. And I like documentaries.”“God, those are so lame,” she huffed, and I laughed. I didn’t know
“Where are you taking me?” she asked, and it was like she was glowing when she spoke.“Wait and see,” I said, staying secretive. It wasn’t much I could arrange on such a short notice. I mean, just this morning I’d gone from taking my son, or whatever I should call him, to the police station, to finding my girlfriend at a totally unexpected place, then finding out that she was pregnant, to the point where I actually started to get accustomed to the fact that the child was mine. That’s quite a leap in one day. But I still managed to get a table at one of the nicer places in the city, and I hoped it was good enough for our first date.Oh, my God. You’re actually nervous, Aaron. You’ve never been nervous about taking out a woman before. With one hand on the wheel and the other resting on Martina’s thigh, with her tender palm on top of mine, I took us to the right place and parked. Then, with the same courtesy, I made her laugh again as I helped her out of the car, simply because I loved
“But, Marty...”“No! You don’t want to talk about what happened at the police station, and I don’t want to talk about that. Are we clear?”He nodded silently and seemed sadder than ever. Good. He deserved to feel bad about it.“Now, let’s get to business and get this over with.”So that’s what we did. After about one and a half hour everything was sorted out in peace, and I finally had the paper in my hand. The divorce was final, and I didn’t regret it one tiny bit. I wished Jake good luck with his life, and especially the part about him coming out as bisexual. I knew he needed that. When his grandfather did what he did to me because of a failed marriage, then I didn’t dare to think about what he’d do to Rocco.Barely five minutes after he’d left, there was another knock on the door. I hadn’t ordered any room service, so I immediately assumed it was Jake who had forgotten something.“I thought you were in a hurry to get to the airp...” I started to say but lost my vocabulary the secon
I read her note over and over again and wandered restlessly around until my phone finally rang.“Bambi! Oh, my God! Are you alright?” I exclaimed the moment I picked up.“Yeah...”“How’s your mom? Is it serious?”I felt confused as to why she was so reluctant to answer. Did I do anything wrong? Is that why she left? Maybe she was jealous of Sarah and couldn’t keep up her façade anymore? But that wasn’t a problem anymore. As soon as she confirmed that her mother was okay, I blurted out:“I’m not the father!”She was silent on the other end, but I could clearly envision her beautiful smile.“The kid, who was pretty adorable by the way, was way too white to be mine. She was blonde with milky-white skin, maybe even lighter than Sarah herself, and so far from my darker Caucasian genes. I don’t even need to read the result of the paternity test. She’s definitely not mine.”I felt the relief flush through me, just like it did at the hospital when I first saw her. I would never forget Allison
I turned to her and noticed that she looked extremely uncomfortable. She kept staring at Allison’s huge belly and scratched her arm.Seriously. How much larger can she get without popping?“Uhm. Wednesday. Are you coming?”“No.”Catherine gave me a glare. She obviously wanted me to go.“Are you sure?” Sarah tried, but I rolled my eyes.“Yep.”Then Catherine pulled me aside and scolded me with her eyes.“That was rude, Aaron!” she whisper-yelled.“She obviously wants you there, and your baby will only be born once. You’ll regret not going later.”Then she noticed that Sarah was about to leave and called out to her.“He’ll be there! What time?”“10:30!”Catherine gave her a thumbs up, and even I could see how relieved Sarah was. Maybe I was a bit too arrogant towards her, but I didn’t really care. Okay, maybe a little bit.“I’m sorry,” I muttered when Catherine didn’t say anything for a while.“I know I’m an ass sometimes, and...”“An ass? Do you know how mean that was?” she exclaimed.
And then we made love again.Yes, we made love. For the first time in my life I learned how that felt, and how different it was from fucking. And it felt so good that I cried a little bit because of that as well. I mean, when I first was at it...Whatever.“Aren’t you tired?” she asked softly in the early morning hours, while stroking a finger along my jaw.“I am,” I admitted truthfully.“Then why aren’t you sleeping?”I was silent for a little while and tried to explain it with words.“Because I’m afraid you’ll be gone when I wake up,” I said quietly.She smiled and kissed my shoulder and let her finger trail in circles on my chest.“I won’t leave, Aaron. Not unless you tell me to.”She yawned and rolled over to her back, but her arm was still wrapped around my waist, and I was hugging hers.“I need to go back to New York to work. But I won’t leave.”Then she placed her palm on my chest where my heart was.“From here.”I covered her hand with mine and squeezed it a bit. Then I brough
Mom’s startled face appeared in the doorway.“What?”“Please don’t ask,” I said weakly. If she started asking questions, I would start crying for sure, and she would worry more than she needed.“Are you sure you’ll be alright?”I smiled.“Yes. And I promise to tell you everything later.”I just hoped the news I brought back home was of the good kind. So I folded my hands, looked up and whispered:“Please, don’t let anything happen to him.”🌼🌼🌼The day went by as usual. I did my job and ignored everybody’s attempts to make a conversation. Even Dom. He seemed more concerned for each day that passed. But he had no reason to worry. I wouldn’t do anything stupid.That's not what you thought last night.I went grocery shopping, but never ate any of it. I didn’t know how to make the things Catherine did. I just remembered what was on the list she wrote and bought that. I didn’t care that the food expired, and I ended up throwing it instead. It was some sort of comfort in having it. I only
Like Anny.“Let’s turn it around for a bit. What if it was someone else? Like, hypothetically.”“What do you mean?” I asked and squinted a bit.“That it wasn’t Sarah who was pregnant, but Martina?”I just stared at him.“I’d still be gone in a heartbeat,” I growled, and tried to ignore the panic that was creeping up my back. What if both of them were pregnant? I didn’t even use a conGraywhen I fucked Martina. How the hell could I be so stupid?You know why, Aaron. She’s different. And it felt so fucking good that you want to do it again.“Man, that’s cold,” Graysaid, and pursed his lips.“Whatever,” I mumbled.“No! It isn’t whatever, Aaron! I swear, sometimes you’re the biggest asshole I know. You love her, but you refuse to admit it, and I know for sure you’d man up enough to be there for her. Hell, when you managed with Bree, you’ll handle that with no problems at all. And Sarah too.”“I don’t even know why we’re having this discussion,” I muttered.“Hey. Cheer up, man. You don’t ha
“HEY! GET BACK HERE!” I yelled after Allison, ripped the door open and ran after her. She’d almost reached the stairs.“ALLISON!”“But I thought...” she started, but I had already grabbed her by the arm and pulled her back to my apartment.“What the hell did you just say?” I said in a tone that sounded both threatening and angry. I wasn’t. I was panicking, and I wanted to scream at her and tell her she was delusional.“I’m pregnant and you’re the father. Obviously.”I snorted and combed my hands through my hair, so roughly it hurt.“Obviously? What the hell is obvious about that? We’ve used protection every single time, and you’re on the pill, dammit!”Then I paused for a moment when a sick thought made me freak out even more.“Unless... Fuck! Did you trick me? Did you save one of the condoms and... Oh, my God. That’s disgusting!”“No! Aaron! How can you even think that?” she protested.“Well, how the hell did you get pregnant, then? This has to be some sort of a sick joke.”I was fum
Eventually I realized that Catherine had somehow gotten dressed while standing behind me. Only, it wasn’t her own clothes. They were mine.Damn! This is not a good time to get horny again, Aaron. But man, she looks fine in your clothes. “You’re just like mom said! You’re a sick bastard and a lowlife!”“Me sick?” I barked back.“You’re the one puking all over the floor!”“I didn’t mean literally, idiot! You’re sick in the head! An old pig! And you’re...”“Rocco! Please stop! You don’t know what you’re saying,” Catherine said, and tried her best to calm him down. She gave him a glass of water and brought a moist cloth so she could wipe his mouth like he was a big baby, and that’s when I realized how wrong their relationship was. She was acting more like a mother to him than Bree ever did. The only difference was that they had sex.“Sit down,” she demanded, but he shoved her away.“I’m not staying here a minute longer!”“SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN!” Catherine yelled and made everyone stare
