Becca.I didn't need to push much longer until the baby was born. I let out a sigh of relief as a lot of pressure was released as the doctor announced the head was out. I was almost done pushing. Out came the shoulders, and then the doctor was able to pull the baby out. She lifted the baby up and smiled, studying the baby for a moment. "It's a boy!" she said, causing the room to erupt into cheers. I gave a very quiet cheer of my own, my body completely exhausted. I closed my eyes, tears still spilling down my cheeks. I was still worried about how healthy he was, though, since he had come so early. "The baby is healthy, even if a bit underweight. He'll get meat on his bones in no time," the doctor assured me, reaching over to hand the baby to me. Putting a few clips into place, the doctor handed James a pair of scissors, and he cut the umbilical cord. Then, she began the process of helping me pass the afterbirth while the nurses prepared to clean our son up while
Becca.Tally's house was a dream home—literally.Her father had built it from a dream he'd had, or so he'd told us when we were young girls.Looking at it now, I believed it.Little did I know that, in this house, all of my dreams would start to come true....Five years had gone by since the last time I came to Miami. Pulling up to Tally's house felt just like it had been so many times before. I had spent so many summers in this home, coming here was like greeting an old friend. The mansion had tall, white, towering columns lining the porch, accenting the huge archways over the doors. The architecture was unique to Tally's father's taste, which made sense since he had dreamed it up. The difference now was the roof had been redone in Mediterranean terracotta shingles, and the landscaping was completely different, now with an Italian flare. Mr. Valentino had even added a white marble fountain to the front yard that featured a goddess being worshiped.He had really outdone himse
Going out with Tally had been more of a headache than I wanted it to be. What started out with dinner turned into an all-nighter at a local club. The stench of stale cigarettes littered my clothing from earlier in the night, as well as, the few droplets of puke Tally had managed to get on me when I was holding her hair.It shouldn't have been much of a surprise how the evening turned out. Yet, once again, I was left to babysit her while she dabbled in the fun. I wasn't the party girl Tally had become, and even though she knew that, she still tried to drag me around. Sometimes I wondered if that was simply a way to make sure she had a designated driver or if she genuinely enjoyed my company.By the time we had arrived back at her home, the lights were off, and it was dark. Tally's drunken form was unable to carry herself up the stairs, which meant that it had been my job to do so.Lucky me!After I had gotten Tally undressed and in bed, and a hot shower had washed away the re
James."Daniel, as you can see, there are numerous ways we can better help you profit from your industry if you use our company. Our importing and exporting section far surpasses that of our competitors."I watched as the CEO of Citadel Furnishing thought about my proposal. I had spent months trying to close this deal, and with weeks of back and forth, I knew without a doubt I had this in the bag.A smile lined the man's face as he nodded. "Let's do it," he replied, holding out his hand, which I quickly shook. "I look forward to our future business together. If you wait just a moment, I will have Evette bring in the paperwork for you to sign, and then we will have someone take you on a tour of the docks so you can see our company at its finest."Evette brought in the paperwork, Daniel signed it, and then I sent him off for the promised tour.Once he was gone, I reached for my phone which had gone off a few different times during my meeting. Tally. The girl was a p
Becca.The warm Miami heat toasted my skin as I lay on a white lounge chair by the pool. As much as I wished I had this kind of comfort back in Savannah, I didn't. It was more humid there than enjoyable, and Miami weather was much different.It was one thing I enjoyed about this place.This was the one comfort I took from years of hard work for my future. While I was here in Miami, I could be anyone and do anything my heart desired.Because no one knew who I was, and after a lifetime of having to be someone in particular—well, it was welcoming.Tally had insisted on having a bunch of people over for a pool party, and as they milled around in the cool water laughing and drinking, I couldn't help but feel annoyed by them.They seemed so carefree with their upscale lifestyles, able to come and go as they wanted. Never really having to work for anything, and having their parents hand them money whenever they wanted.That wasn't something I was accustomed to. My parents had
James.The moment that I walked into the house and saw the situation Becca was in, I lost it. I had heard her plea for help when I opened the front door, but it wasn't until I saw her that I realized how desperate she was for someone to step in.The boy had her pinned, and with every movement he was making, I saw red. "What the f*ck is going on here?" I snapped, my eyes narrowing at the man before me. I wanted more than anything to rip him apart and watch him die painfully at my hands.Yet, I wasn't sure why I wanted that so much. Punishing him, yes, I would do that for any woman.But killing him… it made it feel more personal.I watched as the kid looked over his shoulder at me and sneered, "Mind your business, old man."Old man?! He did want to die today, didn't he? Kids have no f*cking respect anymore."Excuse me?" I sneered, "I think you need to leave… now."He laughed, and with that laugh, I decided not to wait for him to comply."You heard me…"Before he
Two days. For two days, I had avoided him, and I was becoming more nervous every day. I didn't know how to face him after what had happened to me the other day. The altercations with Alejandro had been traumatic in a sense, yes, but I was more embarrassed James had seen it. The memory of how he had wrapped me into his embrace sent a warm sensation through my body. The smell of his earthy cologne stuck in my mind as he had brushed his fingers against my skin.Every bit I loved, and yet, I knew I couldn't have him.The sound of the front door opening drew me from my thoughts, and as I looked out the window, I watched James walking to his car. His dark hair was styled to perfection as the three-piece suit clung to his body, showing off the sculpted muscles he hid underneath.F*ck, he's gorgeous.As if he could hear my thoughts, his sunglass-covered eyes looked towards me, and a smile crested his lip as he slowly turned and climbed into his car.Seeing him go was a disappoi
James.She stood speechless in front of me, staring. The way her teeth bit at her plump bottom lip had my cock going hard in my pants. I wanted to bite her bottom lip more than anything, and have thought about it since the moment I laid my eyes on her."I will do let you know if I need anything," she finally said as she looked down. "Thank you for getting my food."The sweet tenderness of her voice captivated me every time she spoke, but I knew well, deep down, she was more spice than sweet."Again, you don't have to thank me. I will be in my office if you need me."I had to get away from her. The longer she stood there in the black nightie she wore, the more I was likely to lose my self-control. The way her breasts pebbled under the silk tantalized me in ways I hadn't experienced in years. The urge to grab her by her throat and bend her over the stairs was tempting. What I wouldn't do to see her perfect, peach-shaped ass bare for me, the glistening juices of her arousal d
