StephanieI had been living with Jake for almost a week now. I was in that hazy loved up bubble I normally mocked people for. What’s weird is that I never felt this way when I was with Connor, the way I feel about Jake is crazy. It actually scares me, I’m terrified he is going to wake up and see me for just plain Stephanie, kick me out leaving me with nothing but an empty shell. Jake all but consumes me now that I have had a taste, I can’t imagine my life with out it.The sex is incredible something I have gushed about to both Ruby and Millie. Ruby wanting to know all the details of course. I don’t think I have had this much sex in my life. With Connor, I always thought it was good, there had only been one night with him where we ravaged each other, but that was after a whole bottle of tequila. I hate that I compare Jake to him. He’s just so difference, I only have to walk into the room and feel his eyes start to undress me, that carnal hunger set in his grey eyes.With Jake it’s even
StephaniePop went my little bubble, I can’t believe I was that stupid that I thought I had actually gotten away with it. A shiver ran down my spine as my head began to pound, I was struggling to focus on what Carter was saying all his words blurring in my head.‘What?’ confusion filtered through me, I head Carter huff annoyed with me.‘Tell me Stephanie love if your boss is paying you to sleep with him, why can’t I have the same deal,’ his ice-cold voice breaks me out of my scrambled head.‘Fuck you, Carter! I am not being paid to sleep with my boss!’ my anger was through the roof over taking any fear that I had. How dare he accuse me of that of something I would never do!Is that how he see’s me some cheap whore to satisfy his lust before discarding me to move onto someone else.‘How dare you!’ I spat at him no longer caring about my voice being too loud, I could no longer hear the water of the shower running anymore. All I could hear was Carters manic chuckle.‘See that’s where you
JakeI jumped in the shower letting the hot water wash away all the stress that I had been holding throughout the day. My clients were getting needier and needier, everyone wanted a response immediately. It wasn’t a total loss as I can bill them all for it, just annoying.I don’t know what is wrong with me really. I always loved my work and looked forward to it but recently since a certain blue-eyed girl came into my life, my priorities had shifted. I just wanted my time to be able to focus on her. This was all rather new us living together, so soon as we had only really just become a couple. Life had just been incredibly busy that there wasn’t time to enjoy the normal stuff, eating dinner or watching a movie or just being with her.Our time was limited at the office, since our relationship has been declared by HR, Stephanie no longer reports directly to me but to Todd, something that irks me. We still spend much of the day together but not like before. There’s little time for us to b
The relief I felt in his arms was incredible. I had planned on telling him everything, but the words kept catching in my throat. Just saying it out loud to him made it incredibly real. I didn’t want to go to jail, not now or ever. Especially as my life was finally going in the right direction, no constant stress of having to hold everything together.I had never realized the weight of that, the impact it was having on me. In the short time I had been here I had noticed the change already. I always slept but the difference sleeping in some one’s arms that feeling of being protected from the harsh reality of life, was indescribable. I truly had never felt anything like this my feelings for Jake were so strong they scared me.It was truly eye-opening having someone see you for everything you are and still want to be with you. Even Connor the man I thought I would spend my life with, my feelings for him don’t compare. Every time life seems to want to knock me down a little further, Jake i
Jake A few days had passed since Stephanie’s breakdown, I still felt she wasn’t telling me everything for the nervous looks I kept catching her with when she didn’t think anyone was looking. I wanted her to come to me, tell me what was going on, but I would have to wait for her to do that. I couldn’t force her to tell, I had ways, but I didn’t think that would help in this matter. It was finally the weekend, I had done a few tasks whilst Stephanie visited her sister, I had given her my driver to get there and back not wanting her to do it alone after Carter had contacted her again, I was planning on blocking his number, but the guy kept using different ones to contact her making things tricky. I had suggested that she get a new number, but she flat out refused when I asked why she didn’t want to get rid of the old messages from her parents. So, I had no choice but to let it slide. I hit the gym getting in a workout, I hadn’t been here as much as I used to lately not that I minded,
StephanieThe day of the trial was finally here. my stomach was in knots for so many reasons. I was sat on the first-row bench behind the table Jake, Todd and Lyla were sitting on, Jake turned to look at me giving me a soft smile, he knew how difficult today was going to be for me. It was déjà vu, an ominous feeling crept over me putting me on edge as I fiddled with my hands.Sitting beside me was Matt and Dylan much to Jake’s annoyance, I didn’t care though as they were shielding me from Carter and his team. Now that I knew some of the horrors, he had instore for me, whenever I felt his eyes on me, I wanted to be sick. I was wearing some of the clothes that Jake had insisted he buy for me, I didn’t want to feel indebted to him, I knew he had money but honestly, I was happy with the clothes I wore. I was now in a black tailored suite with a black silk shirt. Everything fitted like a glove, despite my slim figure the clothes managed to show my curves, something I enjoyed when I was get
Stephanie‘Tell the court what happened Mrs. Smith, remember you are under oath,’ Jake tells her as her eyes dart to Carter then to the jury. She gives a sharp nod fiddling with her fingers as she does so.‘I was driving back from work, just coming up to the A40 where the blind bend is, the speed limit decreases for that corner. The car in front of me had slowed down before the truck came hurtling into him, I always leave a 10 second gap otherwise I would have been involved in the accident as well,’ her prim voice announces clearly for everyone to hear.Jake points to Carson before asking his next question.‘This man seated here can you confirm he is the driver?’ Mrs. Smith peers at Carson, her eyes dart to Carter for a second before moving back. She presses her lips together wringing her hands some more. Jake see’s this before reminding her she’s under oath. She looks up at him sharply before nodding once more. As each second passes she gets more and more distressed to the point she
JakeStephanie had been quiet all evening, she had barely eaten anything only humming in response to anything I had said. I had noticed the change in her when she returned to court, I’d assumed it was because of what happened with our first key witness. Luckily the rest of the day had passed by without any issues.When we got back, she had run to the bathroom, at least that’s what I thought but the package she was holding was gone. I’d had enough of this weird silent treatment, something I had always hated.‘Stephanie, for fucks sake what is the matter!’ I slammed my fist on the table, it was harsher than I had planned her wide eyes looking up at me startled by my outburst, she shakes her head before biting her lip. The urge to spank her for being like this crosses my mind but I push it away. She will have her reasons I just don’t know why she won’t share it with me. Her brow has still got that look of worry, but her eyes hold a tinge of guilt.She shakes her head curtaining her hair
