TRUST ME Chapter 97
They had spent the afternoon talking about the future, about their hopes and plans and dreams and for the first time in her life, Sandra felt hopeful. She never considered her life outside of working, her grandparents or her sister and now she was getting married, moving to England and talking about pursuing her dream of writing. Her life had just become a whirlwind, far more forceful than any tornado ever hoped to be.Creighton insisted that they take in an opera while they were in Paris. He wanted Sandra to experience all the elegance and ambience the city had to offer. With a simple phone call, he secured dinner reservations at a restaurant she was certain would cost more than her monthly salary, and box seats for The Bastille where they would see The Marriage of Figaro. She had seen and done many things since meeting this man, but nothing was as exciting as the events that lay ahead of her.Sandra searched through the chest of drawers, blushing at the black leather bustier that la

Creighton let go of Sandra’s hand and allowed her to enter the car ahead of him, before climbing in behind her. He sat silently next to her in the leather seat, completely oblivious of her presence.The car was very similar to the one he had picked her up in for their first date, though the interior was black with beige walls and carpeted floor. It pulled out into the evening’s traffic, while Sandra sat in the awkward silence trying to gauge Creighton’s mood. Several moments passed as he held her hand, gently caressing the back of her knuckles, looking intently at the air around them.“I was thinking about eating potato chips blindfolded, while bathing in hot fudge,” she said, watching him nod then turned a frown toward her causing her to laugh. “I wasn’t sure if you were still with me or not.”“I’m sorry,” he said with a warm smile, leaning into her and kissing her cheek. “I guess I have a lot on my mind.”“What was the call about? It wasn’t Cathy again, was it?” He drew a deep brea

“Hello Mum,” he said a few seconds later. “I know, we've seen the reports…yes Mum, it's true…yes I just spoke with them…I am very sure…alright, just a moment,” he handed the phone off to her and sighed. “My mother would like to speak with you.” Sandra drew another deep breath. At this rate, they were never going to make it to the opera.“Hello, Mrs. Ashford,” she said softly.“Sandra, I am so happy to finally get a chance to meet you. Creighton has been banging on about you for the past two years. We were beginning to think he was off his chump, but when he called and asked for my mum’s ring, we knew he had either gone completely mental, or finally found the bottle to ask you. I’m so happy he wasn’t balmy."“Um…so am I,” Sandra said trying to figure out what she just said. “So, I need to ask you, since Creighton has asked my grandfather, may I have your permission to marry your son?” Creighton rolled his eyes.“Oh, my dear, absolutely, I know how much he loves you and he’s a wonderful

“Monsieur Ashford, comment était-ce vous le dîner?” the Maître d’ asked when they neared him. He was an older man, tall and slender, his hair grey around the edges, the top of his head bald and shiny. He looked at them through dark grey eyes that seemed to twinkle. He was quite friendly, and after the nerve-wrecking walk she just had, that was very much appreciated. He smiled politely at Sandra and she found herself relaxing immensely.“Très bon, merci,” Creighton answered, his arm slipping around Sandra’s waist. The two men exchanged a few more comments in French before she found herself being escorted out the door at a leisurely pace. They climbed back into the limousine where Sandra literally collapsed against the leather cushions.“You did remarkably well,” Creighton praised, kissing her hand again as the car pulled back into traffic. “There wasn’t a person in that room who didn’t admire you.”“I’m sure they were all wondering how they could trade places with me.”“I know the me

“Ask what you wish, and I’ll answer.”“The truth?”“I have never lied to you, Sandra, and I never will.”“Tell me about the Don’s boys?” she asked suspiciously. “Is there any real threat from them?”“Not really,” he said quietly. “They are two of Aryana’s brothers. They would never cause her harm.”“Then why did you allow me to think they were after us?”“Because they are. The Don wants Aryana and me back in Milan and sent his boys to get us. He keeps his two sons, Demarco and Silvano as errand boys and while Demarco is logical and calm, his brother is not. Silvano likes people to think he’s mafia. It excites him to know he frightens people, especially women.”“And the Don? Is he really a mafia king?” Creighton sighed, taking her hand and leading her to the sofa where they sat down next to each other.“No.”“You did lie to me,” she said softly.“No, I didn’t. You were the one who called the Don a mafia king. I just didn’t deny it. You wanted an adventure and I wanted you with me. Bec

When Sandra returned to the bedroom a half-hour later, she found Creighton’s clothes on the back of the chair, but he was nowhere to be seen. She stepped to the door and heard the tone of his voice, knowing he was on the phone. She gathered together the pale pink negligee and robe and quickly slipped them on before taking the courtesy laptop to the bed and sat down against the pillows. She opened the internet, typed in the address to the Kansas State government and penned her message, short and sweet.To whom it may concern,Affective immediately I, Sandra Elizabeth Dennis, hereby resign my position as Librarian to the City Library of Hoisington, Barton County, Kansas, USA. It is my recommendation that Raymond Humphrey be promoted to the position of Head Librarian, given his years of dedicated work and knowledge of the library and the patrons.She signed it with an electronic signature and pressed the send button, smiling as the confirmation checkmark showed on the screen. She then to

“You have to hold very still, or you’ll make a mess of the bed,” he warned her with a wicked grin. “If you don’t hold still, I’ll have to restrain you.”“I can’t make any promises,” she said, causing him to chuckle.“I know what you’re hinting at, but I am not going to cuff you just yet. I want you to fight the urge to wiggle. Once you feel helpless beyond control, only then will I cuff you and really go wild with this lovely body.” Sandra blushed, feeling the nerves of excitement burning through her veins.“Ready?” he asked and smiled when she nodded. He stood up and removed his pants and underwear before taking the familiar brown plastic bottle that read Hershey's sirop. He flipped the lid open and slowly began to dribble the cold, thick syrup across her nipples, smiling as she gasped.“Remember, you have to hold perfectly still. This is a lesson in control. While I am enjoying myself, you have to force yourself to remain steadfast.”“You are asking the impossible,” she moaned, th
TRUST ME Chapter 104
Sandra sat on the sofa the next day, reading Miriam’s book as Creighton lay napping with his head on her lap. It was such a comfortable feeling, doing normal everyday activities with this man. They had slept in until a little after ten and ate a late breakfast of cheese, croissants, poached eggs and sliced ham. Creighton said they were meeting Aryana and Daniel later that afternoon after their doctor’s appointment, which left them several hours to relax and enjoy each other’s company.Creighton called the Don and argued with him for nearly fifteen minutes, trying to convince him to come to Paris to speak with his daughter, but to no avail. He refused and said he would not come to her. She was the one to come back and the one to explain and apologize for her behavior.It had been well over a week since she sat down and read, and she found herself enjoying it immensely, even though Miriam’s book was filled with perverted memories of her past. She had just finished a chapter that she fou
