“Okay, go get yourself ready, and I will spend time with them and bathe them while you do.” Jackson moves over to me, his lips kissing mine. “You will enjoy yourself, and they won’t miss a thing, I swear.” He turns and walks upstairs to get himself ready. I begin to get the twins out of their chairs. “I can help.” Marcus grabs Katy out of her chair and begins to carry her upstairs. I quickly follow with Isabella as he carries Katy to the girls’ bedroom. “No point in you making two trips. If you want, I will get their bath ready, then you can get their clothes and things ready.” This is not the Marcus I know. What has happened to the other man, the one who ran away from the babies? “Thank you, that would help.” I smile, wondering what has made him change so quickly. No doubt whatever happened to lead to him being homeless will be told tonight. At least to Jackson. I can’t sit and think about Marcus right now. I have to get the girls ready for bed. With the girls all ready for thei
Dancing, I feel myself relax more, cautious of how close guys are getting, not wanting to cause any trouble. “I think someone is coming to see you, Alena.” I smile at Georgina’s comment, expecting Jackson behind me. Arms wrap around my body, teasingly rubbing down me and lips kiss my neck. Georgina’s eyes widen. I look down and notice the sleeves. Jackson does not have sleeves on his shirt. I push forward, away, my hand slapping around at Jake's face. He moves back, not saying anything, disappearing into the crowd. “What the hell was all that, Alena? You and Jake have known each other for years.” Georgina quizzes me, and I know the only thing I can do is make sure she doesn’t tell Jackson. “I will explain everything tomorrow. Just don’t mention this to anyone, not even Liam. Please, promise me, Georgina. It will just cause a fight, then we will have to leave.” Her expression turns sympathetic, and she nods. We carry on dancing. This time, Jackson does come over. “Can I steal
Leaving the bathroom afterwards, I am relieved that no one is there. Walking back to the table, I sit down. Jackson’s not here.“Where is Jackson?” I look around, confused.“More like where the hell were you two? We looked everywhere in the club and couldn’t find you.” I shake my head at Marcus, worried that Jackson isn’t back yet.“He is there, at the bar Alena. He walked straight past us to the bathroom, then out to the bar.” Georgina joins in, and sure enough, Jackson is at the bar. I watch as someone moves closer to him. It looks like Roxy, but jealousy grows inside me. Getting up, I walk towards them.I haven't seen Roxy much, really, so I hope it is her in a way, but mostly because I won’t feel as jealous. The woman’s hands wrap around Jackson, rubbing down his back and grasping his ass. I can feel my blood boil and watch as Jackson gently moves the woman’s arm away from h
His hand is my first warning he is behind me, gently placed on my shoulder. It is so different to Jackson, where Jackson would usually come in, and the whip would hit me. Marcus, though, places his hand on me, soothing almost.I feel my whole body relax under his touch, still screaming for pleasure. Now though, I feel safe. Maybe this is why Jackson was keen to have Marcus as part of it if it is to ever happen. He somehow just makes me feel safe instantly, something I will need if I really want my fantasy to happen.The sound of the door closing and locking alerts me that no one will walk in, and I relax more. The feel of Marcus’ hand travelling slowly down my back makes shivers rise within me from his touch.His hand lifts from my back. I jump as it hits my ass, the pleasure rippling through me, my moans almost escaping. My mind is telling me to take off the blindfold and just pull him to me.I can feel his movements around my body as he moves. The
Suddenly, I feel arms wrapping around me, Jackson’s arms wrapping around me, moaning from the feeling, I turn to face him. I am still unable to see his face. His lips press against mine. His breathing is so fast, as his body pins mine against the wall, the feel of his shaft hard against his jeans making me want him. How did this with Marcus make me feel so pleasured, yet the thought of it and Jackson now throws me back in the deep end? I need a release again. My hands unfasten his button and zip. “Fuck me.” It is so quiet, I’m not sure if he can hear me. He must have as I can feel him pushing his cock against my pussy, gently moving and teasing. The feeling explodes through my body as he moves slowly and gently. I don’t want slow and gentle. I want hard and fast. My hands pull him to me as I lift myself, using him and wrapping my legs around his waist. “Hard.” I moan, pulling him to me, trying to get more. He growls
I cook tea for us all, and then after everyone finishes, Helen leaves to go home. Liam gets up as she is leaving, and I take the girls to bed. Afterwards, I find Jackson. I need to tell him. She is his Mum, and I feel awful if it is something serious and he has no idea. Sitting here, I explain to him about today. He doesn’t look too worried, which makes me feel better because if he isn’t, then I am probably overreacting. He leans forward and kisses me, smiling, and I feel myself relax. “Well, that is a relief. When she mentioned doctors, and it would create more upset, I panicked a little.” I smile, feeling myself relax more. I was just overreacting. Even Jackson was looking at me like I was crazy. “Why would it cause upset? What do you mean by that, Alena?” Now he looks concerned. Her looking worn out doesn’t concern him, but that does. “I don’t know. I asked, and she told me not to worry my pretty head, everyone dies at some point, and she w
Marcus comes in, looking like he has had a bad day. I walk to the kitchen, offering to get him a drink and sort him some food. He refuses the food but accepts the drink.I can’t help but wonder what has happened with him and Maria, so I decide I will ask.“Has Maria left now then? I don’t understand why you couldn’t work it out. She loved you.”“Not as simple as love anymore. We decided years ago what we wanted from our lives. She changed. She decided she wanted kids, another life away from here, away from me.”Oh wow, surely, she didn’t want to get away from him?“I don’t think she was going away from you. I guess if she decided she wanted kids and you don’t, then that would have been the final push to her leaving. I can’t see why anyone would walk away from you because of you.” I can’t. He is amazing, kind and caring. He is excellent with the girls.“
The feel of lips pressing against mine wakens me, my eyes opening and Jackson’s right there, looking down at me, full of sympathy and apology, but it is too late. How could he not even reply to the text? “Sorry. Before you shout, just hear me out, please.” I stay quiet, waiting for him to continue. “I had planned something or rather, booked something today. It was not meant to take long, a couple of hours. I left my phone in the car. I am a jerk. I know I am.” He looks at me. “All I can do is apologise. The whole point was I would go there, find out other options for my Mum and come back. I was meant to be back within a couple of hours. As I got in the car and saw that picture, I realised I fucked up, totally fucked up Alena, and I am sorry.” I want to say I hate him, that his apology means nothing, that he hurt me, scream at him and hit him for making me feel like he doesn’t love me. I just don’t get how it could take all day. “I remember the
