Becca.Waking the next morning, I had the worst hangover of my life. Allegra and I had stayed up all night talking, laughing, and more or less, me crying. I was a mess, but like Allegra told me, I needed to putl my big girl panties on and take care of my shit.The only problem was, I wasn't sure how. Slipping from bed, I made my way towards the bathroom to freshen myself up. I had to come up with a game plan, because as nice as Allegra was, I couldn't stay in her apartment forever. Instead, it might be best if I bought my ticket home.Even though the other part of my brain protested against it, telling me to go after him.I couldn't go after him. I wasn't going to be seen as some pathetic bitch chasing after a man who didn't want her.Picking up my phone, though, my heart lurched. Three missed calls and over twenty texts from James and a few even from Tally.Tally made it clear she hated me, and I was no friend to her. That I had betrayed her and called me every name
Making my way back to Allegra's, I kept thinking over the conversation with James. The last time I cried as much as I was right now was when my mother died, and I thought that was going to be the most painful thing I would ever experience. Now, I wasn't sure that was the case.I had left James' office under the notion we couldn't ever be together. He made it clear he wanted to wait until Tally was okay with everything. However, that wasn't going to work for me. She would never be okay with us being together.Opening Allegra's door, I stepped inside and was met with laughter. The sound of the man's voice wasn't one I recognized, and I suddenly felt bad about intruding and not letting her know I was on my way back."Becca!" Allegra exclaimed with a smile. "You're back so soon?""Uh–yeah," I replied, giving her a half smile. "Turns out things won't be worked out."With a small sigh and a nod, she turned her attention to the man next to her. "Well, Becca, I want you to meet
Becca.The moment we arrived at Club Velvet, I knew I had made a good choice to go out. Allegra had outdone herself with getting me ready, so much so, I didn't even recognize myself when I looked in the mirror.Stepping over the threshold, I was met with an erotic sight I hadn't expected. Unlike last time, where it seemed more angelic and sexy, this time it was dark and sinful, and everything about it was utterly exotic."Let's get a drink!" Allegra yelled over the music as I smiled and nodded. The last time I had come, James swept me away to a private room. Then, for most of the night, we stayed there while the rest of the people at the club partied out here.This time, she was showing me the true meaning behind the Club Velvet feel. Dancers on stages, and even women on poles and in cages, littered the area. Sex was the appeal, and the club went above and beyond to reach it. "This is incredible," I said to no one in particular, but Neal seemed to catch on and laughed.
Becca.Sunlight drifted through the room, and I slowly opened my eyes. I felt the dull pain that radiated through my head. How much had I drank the night before?"Shit, it's bright," I mumbled, stirring with the blankets, only to look down and realize the blankets were not the same as the ones at Allegra's.Looking around, I noticed I was in a different room, and slowly the memory of the night before came filtering into my mind. James had come to the club and possessed every inch of me. The moment was erotic, and as he claimed me over and over again, I couldn't find the will to stand. My legs were like jelly, and each orgasm pushed me farther and farther. How had I let myself fall back into what I was trying not to do? Everything about him screamed to stay away, especially after the conversation we'd had in his office. Yet, one touch from him had me melting, and there was no one else I wanted to be with.Rolling over, I let my gaze fall upon his naked form and realized he
Becca.It had been a week since I gave James another chance. Through it all, everything was going great, but I still couldn't understand why he suddenly had the change of heart, considering he was so concerned about how Tally had felt before.It was like someone had whacked him over the head, and he was an entirely different person. As much as he was amazing in bed, part of me internally giggled, wondering if he was having a mid-life crisis or something.Regardless of the situation, I found myself rather content with how everything had been. Two days after we spent the night together, James told me to move into the apartment in Allegra's building. At first I was skeptical. However, once I got settled in, I started seeing how nice it really was.No longer did I have to worry about how things were going or if somebody was going to find us. Instead, I could do my thing whenever I wanted. Which included walking naked around the apartment. Something James really liked. Especia
The next day, I shopped with Allegra. One store to another, she had me in the search of the perfect dress. The only problem was, I wanted to go back to the apartment and hide behind closed doors.This was the one part of town Tally frequented often. High-end boutiques. Gourmet coffee shops. Fancy restaurants. I was out of place."Oh, my god. Stop worrying," Allegra groaned for the hundredth time. "If we run into them, who cares? They can't do anything to you.""I know, I know. I just don't want a confrontation with them," I sighed as I tried to contain my emotions. "It's hard, ya know…""Actually, I don't," she admitted with a laugh. "I don't take shit from anyone, and I don't date. I like to f*ck around too much, and swinger parties are way more fun.""So, are you going to tell me you don't want a family or kids?" I asked her with a raised brow. "I saw how much you fawned over your cousin's new baby the other day…"Allegra went silent for a moment and nodded her head. "
James.When Allegra called me to tell me what Allison and Tally were doing, I couldn't believe it. I mean, I could believe it… but I couldn't believe one day couldn't go by without them causing issues. As soon as I got back in the car from handling the situation, I made my way to my house, but found out quickly Tally and her mother were there waiting. There was no escaping the drama anymore. The two of them were hell bent on making my life miserable, and I was done with it.Exiting my car, I walked into the house, and was confronted with the two of them sitting in the kitchen. The waterworks were in play with Tally as Allison comforted her. As soon as her eyes met mine, she narrowed her gaze and stormed towards me."Look what you've done!" she screamed at me. "You should be ashamed as a father to act the way you have. Choosing that little bitch over your own daughter!"Laughter escaped me. "How did I choose Becca over Tally?""You're sleeping with her!" Allison conti
When James said we were going to a Gala, I had imagined a hotel with a bunch of politicians. However, when the limo pulled up to the front of the massive white building that reminded me so much of the White House, my jaw dropped."Holy shit…" I gasped, causing James to laugh."It's nice, huh? Wait until you see the inside. For a man with that kind of money, he had big inspirations while building it." Looking over my shoulder at him, I paused. "What is this place?""The Trump National Doral," James replied as a chauffeur opened my door in tails with white gloves. I was taken aback by his words. This was only a glimpse of what was to come. I could only hope high society was ready for me, because tonight was surely going to be a night I would never forget.A red carpet and lights came down from the front doors and stretched for what seemed forever. I took James' arm as we walked up the path. My long emerald green dress flowed behind me as my gold buckled heels moved across t
