Yesterday was the first time Trevor had gone to bed with a hangover. But, being the half glass full kind of guy he was, he saw it as a good thing. At least he got the hangover out of the way. When he had woken up, he only had a slight headache. Trevor had rung William to bring him an icepack, aspirin, and his hangover juice.
William had been making his special hangover juice since Trevor was a teenager. He had made it for Trevor’s father when he woke up from a hangover after a night of playing poker with his friends.
Trevor didn’t know what was in it and he didn’t want to know. But, whatever was in it did the trick within an hour when using aspirin and an ice pack with it. When he finally felt like he could walk without hurting his head, he took a shower
The past five days with Trevor had been wonderful. Joanna was on cloud nine. So much so, even Selena had noticed her happy demeanor. Joanna was in Selena’s bedroom at the estate watching her put on make-up to go out with Christopher for dinner. “I have to say you seem very happy for someone who had a horrible fallen out with a friend a week ago,” Selena said as she applied eye shadow on her lids. “I am, but it’s for the best. Surely, you understand why I cut Beverly off,” Joanna said. “I understand completely. If it was Christopher and I was in your shoes, I would have gotten mad as he
The weekend started off with a mess. Trevor was juggling business and a budding romance and it was becoming difficult to juggle it all. He was heading a five hundred million dollar project for Hudson. The clients were three partners who wanted to build a chain of hotels along the east coast. Bruce couldn’t take it on because he was waist deep in a project with the Chinese and Christopher had broken ground on the Bethel project in Vermont. Bethel was the company’s future. The deal with the Chinese could lead to other international projects in the future if everything went well. Trevor had been so busy he had to cancel his date with Clarice yesterday. Today was July fourth, he had thought he’d be busy all day and most of the evening, but he was able to bid goodnight to the TD Corporation partners at six o’clock.&nb
Trevor walked into The Oasis. He had bought a VIP wristband and entered the room. The DJ was playing an old nineties song. Trevor had hung out in enough clubs in his day to know what it was; Poison, by Bell Biv Devoe. Everyone was wearing red, white, and blue glittering top hats. The Oasis was known to pass around wearable party favors for special occasions. He was drawn to the commotion on the dance floor. After he wedged through a few patrons, he saw what was going on. A few of the dancers had backed up to let a group of girls dance in unison – and together. Trevor’s eyes widened and his mouth dropped open at the sight of Clarice dancing with them. The ladies were in sequence with their movements. They lifted their knees up high like they w
Trevor poured the champagne and offered her a flute. Joanna took it as she whispered her thank you. Trevor picked up his glass from the coffee table and leaned back on the sofa next to her. “Let me guess. You have a large birthmark in a very, very private part on your body,” he joked. She chuckled uncomfortably. Normally she would have actually laughed, but this was way too serious. “Hmm,” he mused in a more thoughtful tone. “This is serious. You’ve lost your sense of humor.” “It’s best that I start . . . from the beginning. Before I do, please know that I atten
Trevor carried her into a large bedroom with large windows like the living room had. Joanna assumed it was the master suite. The city’s building lights coming from the huge wall size window, casting dim light into the room. He laid her down on the light yellow comforter like she was precious cargo. The pillow behind her head was fluffy and smelled like it had been laundered that morning. He carefully climbed on top of her and took her mouth. As he was kissing her, she felt his arm graze against her chest. Joanna gently broke the kiss to see Trevor had loosened his tie. She reached up and started unbuttoning his shirt. He started pulling his shirt out of the waistband of his pants. She helped him. The only thing that could be heard was their heavy breathing. He repositioned himself where he was sitting on the side of the bed. Then he grabb
Realizing he might be crushing her with his weight, Trevor rolled over on his back next to her. The firework show was still going on. The spurts of light lit the room and their naked sweaty bodies. He licked his lips as his mind played back the last twenty minutes. Trevor just thought she was timid at the time because of what almost happened to her four years ago and that she had only been with one man. Come to find out, she had never been with a man before. Trevor had thought she was tight from not being with anyone for a long time. His eyes had widened to the size of nickels as a shiver had gone down his spine when he felt her hymen break. Clarice hadn’t noticed because she had her eyes closed tight from the pain. If he had known she was a virgin, he would have been gentler going in.&nbs
Joanna couldn’t go with Trevor to the country club. Selena and Christopher would call her out in a second – especially Christopher. She had to get out of this. She shook her head. “I’ll . . . take my chances. I can meet them another time. It sounds like there is a lot on the line this time around. Too much pressure” He gave her a curt nod. “Now, that you mention it. It would be a lot of pressure. Especially since you . . . are not the heiress I thought you were.” Her lips parted at the remark. “You said that didn’t matter to you.” “It doesn’t. But .
Joanna showed Courtney around the condo when she arrived. She was pretty impressed by it for a maid who worked in a mansion. Fifteen minutes later, they were sitting in the floor around the coffee table in the living room eating shrimp cocktail and cracked crab and drinking Cristal for lunch. As Joanna’s mother would say, they were living high off the hog. Joanna had gotten dressed in the brand new clothes Trevor had bought her; a pink blouse, and beige khakis. She even wore the jewelry Trevor bought for her. Courtney had on a black T-shirt and white shorts. “You look really good,” Courtney said with her mouth full.
