2021-09-29 22:42:50While petting my beloved horse Mable's reddish brown mane softly, I think back to five years ago when I wasn't married to a man who's only passion is making vast fortunes and working every second of the day. Matter of fact, if I was completely honest, marriage wasn't my first thought. I had wanted to travel and be a world famous designer in Milan.
When my dad notified me of the arranged marriage, I freaked out. Not knowing that people still did that in the U.S., my first thought was to run away. So I took the earliest plane that I could find to Europe and hid.
I stayed abroad for 6 months till they eventually found me. How could I get married? I was so young and wanted to do so many things before I was chained down to one man. Getting married wasn't one of them.
Feeling Mable snort, brings me back to the present and she rubs her nose on my hand to get me to pet her again. The soft fur always calms me, I have had her my whole life. She used to be my mom's before she died, but she passed away when I was two.
My father, not knowing what to do, remarried quickly and didn't know my stepmother only married him for money. He soon found out that her appetite for younger men was voracious and she had little interest in him. Still needing her to take care of me though, he allowed it for years until I was old enough to take care of myself.
When I turned eighteen, I moved in with my best friend Nicole. We had the greatest time, till the day my dad told me I was getting married and I didn't have a choice. We were about to lose everything, because his company was being forced into bankruptcy and if I didn't marry Brad there would be no coming back. Being worth billions and an heiress to a multitrillion dollar company does have its perks, but that wasn't one of them.
Brad Harrison at the time was 23 and strictly a professional businessman. He had built a trillion dollar company out of nothing in three years and my dad was looking to consolidate their businesses to stop from filing bankruptcy. Our marriage served the purpose of shoring up the deal, but it was a pact with the devil.
Beng married for almost five years, I figure that nothing can get any better, so why even try. Every night he comes home and every night we sleep in separate bedrooms. We didn't even consummate the marriage on our honeymoon. Instead, he spent the whole time working and I saw the sites. I doubt he even knows I exist and it feels like he has some kind of secret.
Two months ago I visited Nicole in Los Angeles and while I was there, I met a man. It was a brief encounter, but it made me realize that I want more than what Brad is giving me now. I can't live this way the rest of my life, I need to be loved.
Leaving this marriage is impossible, because Brad made sure that I signed a prenuptial agreement. With that in mind, if I am ever going to be happy, I will have to wait for a chance and take it the next time one arises. It's just really too bad that all he cares about is money, because he is handsome and I wouldn't mind being his wife if he paid attention to me at all. Is it too much to ask for?
Leading Mable out of the stable carefully, I can tell that Brad has hired new help because they are all standing around and getting the same old lecture from him that he gives every new hire. Returning my attention to Mable, I get up on her and squeeze my knees together, making her move quickly. She still has spunk for a 28 year old and speeds right past them almost knocking over the older gentleman. Feeling free, I ride for several hours till it starts to rain.
Riding back to the stable, Mable grumbles and snorts because she hates getting rained on. The smell that comes off of horses coats when it's wet is a combination of wet fur, sweat and leather. It's not one of my favorite scents, but I have smelled worse.
When we arrive back at the stable, it has already started thundering and lightning, making Mable scared and jumpy. She starts kicking and bucking before I can get her put in her stall. Just trying to hold on, I steer her in the stable and almost make it to her stall before she bucks me clear off.
Out of nowhere, a tall, dark, handsome man catches me mid-air and saves me from falling and breaking any number of bones. Stunned and shaken up, I stare into his beautiful green eyes for what seems like forever, till he kisses me. It is a soft kiss, barely a whisper across my lips, but in that one moment I realize that I could stay in his arms forever.
In that instant, I feel something I have never felt before. A sexual attraction that buzzes throughout all of my being. It is so sudden and powerful that neither one of us budges until the older stable hand walks up to us to find out if I have been hurt.
Realizing that we are not alone, the man puts me down quickly and they both check me over for any injuries. After wrangling Mable back into the stall, I thank them both and rush back to the house for safety. Hoping that Brad didn't see us or that the other stable hand doesn't say anything, I wait breathlessly for repercussions.
Please leave a comment, even if it is short. They let me know if you like the story or not.

With my heart still pounding, I run back to the house and take refuge in my bedroom. That man is one of the new hires, how did I not notice him earlier? He is so tall, tanned and more handsome then Brad could ever be. Not to mention, the muscles on him. Laying on the bed, I remember staring into those hungry green eyes, thinking that I wouldn't mind if his eyes looked that way at my naked body and his hands caressed my skin. There is something to say for a hard working man. Compared to Brad's soft perfectly manicured nails and fingers, his are rough and callused. I wonder how that would feel against my soft delicate skin. To feel the strength ooze from his finger tips as he grabs my hips and makes love to me with my back up against the wall. I long to wrap my petite legs around his waist and feel him grow against me. Something I have yet to ever feel. When I had the brief affair in Los Angeles, it wa

Waking up early and stretching in bed, I smell ham and eggs cooking. Marissa must have gotten here oftly early this morning to be making breakfast already. Stepping out of bed, I feel the cold wood planks under my feet and immediately form goosebumps on my arms.Brrr.I rush to grab my heavy robe and put it on my shoulders. Struggling so early in the morning, I really have a hard time finding the holes to put my arms in. When I do succeed eventually, I step into the kitchen, saying, "Goodmorning Marissa, did you sleep well last night?"Taking a seat at the counter, I wait patiently for my food and an answer. She turns around and smiles, "Yes, ma'am. I did and you?"Thinking about my answer, before saying anything, I wonder if I should tell her about my dreams. Settling on no for now, I state, "Yes, I did too. This all smells wonderful." Waving my hands at the meal co

The warmth of the sun beating down on my back, feels so good after a long afternoon. Mable, snorts and turns her head to the side as I enjoy nature and watch the birds flying above our heads. We are ready to head back to the stable, when I hear the steady trot of another horse in the distance, echoing throughout the valley. Looking back, I see the tall gentleman from the day before and watch as he closes in on our distance. Mable senses something and turns around just before a rattlesnake strikes her leg. She raises up on her back legs and knocks me off. Sitting on the ground, all I can see is Mable laying on her side groaning. Pushing up off the ground, I get to my feet and run over to her. She has fallen on top of the rattlesnake and crushed it, but not before it struck her again. I can see the two bites swelling up as she lays there in pain. Not knowing what to do, I stand up and flag down the stable hand

I wake up in a cold sweat. Peeling my bedsheets off of my naked body, I get up to grab a set of fresh ones from the hall closet. When I touch the wood floor, I shiver from the cold and hurry to put my robe on. After I put on my robe and slippers, I creep out into the hallway and open the linen closet. The last thing I want to do is wake up Brad. He might be drunk or even question why I am up, and as far as I am concerned this is not the time or place to be discussing my dreams with him. Matter of fact, I don't ever want to talk to him again, but I don't have a choice. Knowing that he feels that way about another woman makes my skin crawl. Looking through the fabrics, I pick the Egyptian cotton powder blue sheets and quietly sneak back to my room. Taking off the wet ones and replacing them with the fresh sheets, I take off my robe and slippers and then climb back into bed. I lay there for a while, thinking ab

Waking up, I realize the reason. I hear the phone ringing on the other side of the room and slip out from under the covers to answer it. Immediately wishing that I hadn't gone to sleep without putting on a nightgown, I shiver while grabbing the phone. Retrieving it, I retreat to the warmth of the covers and look at who called. Nora, a neighbor that quickly became a close friend of mine just after we moved in. She is 30 and works for Brad's company, as a secretary. Calling her back, I ask while yawning and stretching, "What's up, Nora?" Sounding anxious, she answers right away, "You would never believe who and what I saw last night at the office." Not wanting to really know, because I have an awful feeling that has started creeping up inside, I hesitate. Finally saying something, I ask, "Do I want to know?" "Girl, your husband was caught eating out one of his clients last night. Jessica, one

After reading for several hours, I decide to go for a walk. I go through my closet and choose a comfortable pair of jeans and a nice royal blue sweater that my dad bought for me last year as a present. Putting them on, I model in the mirror for myself and realize that something is missing. Placing my sapphire heart earrings in, I once again model in front of the mirror. Perfect. Satisfied with my appearance, I shut my closet and pull on my light brown leather fashion boots that I have picked out for the day. I always cringe a little when I start to walk in them, because they make this percussive sound on the wood floors that echoes throughout the whole house. Standing up, I walk to the door of the bedroom and open it, hesitating before shutting it behind me as I look inside for anything I forgot. I turn the corner of the hallway and walk to the door. Not seeing Brad, I march out the door before he decides to stop

After lunch, Marissa takes off and I find myself completely alone. I sit around for a while reading again, but then decide to be nosey and go through Brad's things in his bedroom. What could possibly go wrong? After all, he won't be home for hours if he shows up at all tonight. Pacing back and forth, I try to figure out if I should or not and finally just march up the stairs straight into his bedroom. Looking through his drawers, I find nothing and then turn to his desk. Right away, I have this bad feeling when I see a drawer half way open and inside a picture is bearly visible. Opening the drawer the rest of the way, I stand back and take in a deep breath before sighing. Shaking my head in disbelief, I approach the drawer and pick up the photo of Brad and an unknown woman in a compromising position. When I go to put it back, I notice a manilla envelope underneath and take it out to open it.

While cleaning up my room before dinner, I sit down and secretly wish that Dean was here and we were making love. Looking out the window, I watch as the wind blows against the house, so I decide to go downstairs and make dinner. On the way to the kitchen, I catch a glimpse of Dean outside the front door and walk over, trying to see what is going on. Opening the door, I notice an older man who I have never seen before, standing by Dean and it seems like they are in a confrontation. Both of them turn to face me, before I ask, "What seems to be the problem here?" Dean speaks up first, saying matter of factly, "My parole officer doesn't believe that I am employed here and is trying to throw me back in prison. Is there any way you can verify my employment to him for me?" Looking at the older gentleman, I ask politely, "May I know who I am talking to?" He nods and answers, "I am Mr. Conway, Dean's parole officer. I was notified

“Mom. Come look at this.” Link rushes over to me and almost falls in the sand right before he reaches me. Everyday, he looks more and more like a Minnie me version of Dean and I love every minute of it. Being so perfect, some days I wonder if I haven’t died and this is my version of heaven.

“Hey, what are you doing over there?” I look to see what Link is doing before I rush over to tickle him. Watching as he pokes his head from under the covers, I grab the sheet and pull it down so I can get to his feet. Wiggling and shrieking, he tries his hardest to escape the “fingers of death”, but eventually I succeed and tickle him till he screams out, “Mommmmmy, stop.” I glance at his face to see him laughing so hard his face is all red and scrunched up. It makes me chuckle and then I watch him laugh so hard he rolls clear off the bed when I grab his ankles and tickle his foot again. This tickle monster knows how to play the game and win. “O.K., O.K., it’s time for bed. Now that we have gotten out all that extra energy, you should be able to fall asleep right away. Or do we need the tickle monster to strike again?” I ask jokingly while tucking him in and stopping to wiggle my fingers. “No

“Did you get the cake?” I ask Johnson quietly, so Nora doesn’t hear. He nods before he picks up the bag from under the table and shows me. Today is Nora’s birthday. She has just turned 32 and is so excited, because Johnson asked her to marry him this morning. The first thing she did as soon as he gave her the ring and proposed, was to say yes and then call me to let me know. Screaming over the phone, I thought she was being murdered, till she finally spit it out. I can’t explain how happy I felt when I found out. She really deserves a happy ending. “Did you bring what I asked you to?” He looks at me nervously. I wink and whisper, “There is absolutely no way I would forget it.” As soon as I say it, Nora walks back in the room. “What are you two whispering about over there? You know that I don’t like secrets or surprises. I have had way too many of both of them today even th

When I wake up in the middle of the night, I turn over and all I find is a handwritten note on the pillow where Donovan was lying before I fell asleep. Turning on the light, I stare at it in disbelief while I read it, “Jenna, all these years I have loved you and because of that, you have ruined my life. I could have had a family with a loving woman, but all I could see was you and I constantly compared her to you. Knowing that she was never going to be good enough, I finally told her and she couldn’t take it, so she left me.

Afterwards, we head straight to the motel that Brad and Sam stayed at so there would be less of a chance that they would recognize me. As soon as we check in, we go to the room and before I even shut the door, he grabs me and slams me against the wall feverishly kissing me and sliding his hands up and down my body. Assaulting me with his lips, his eyes peer straight into my soul. We are connected and I will never be able to go back to Dean without feeling remorse for what I have done.The only problem is the simple fact that making love with Dean turned me on endlessly, but Donovan rocks my world. It’s like we connect on a whole new level and knowing how that feels now, I can’t have sex with Dean and not feel that something is missing.

Opening the door, I come face to face with Donovan. I barely recognize him, but he still has the same entrancing blue eyes that he did in high school. However, this version of Donovan Montrose is grown up and definitely better looking. At about 6 and a half foot tall, with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes, a completely flawless complexion and a strong jawline, he is picture perfect. Literally like a model who just walked out of GQ. Not to mention, his muscles. He has the physique of a world class athlete. When I stand there staring at him and don’t invite him in right away, he asks, “Am I intruding?” Shaking my head, I reply quickly while motioning him in. “No, not the least. I am just surprised you are here. How did you find me and get in the gate?” “Your gate was wide open, for one thing. As to how I found you, I looked you up in the phone book. The two of you still have a landline.&nb

“Hey, so is 11:30 good for you?” I ask while getting dressed. Waking up late, I try my hardest to get back on schedule, but everything seems to be working against me this morning. “Yeah, that will be perfect.” He says excitedly. I can just imagine he is smiling from ear to ear over the phone like he used to in high school. That boy used to give me the creeps because every time I turned around he was staring at me. All my friends would kid me about my creepy boyfriend and that we should just get a room or something. I really had no clue that he liked me that way, I thought that they were just being idiots. But, the sheer fact that he remembered me after all these years and still gets excited to hear my voice says something strangely. Saying, “See you then.” I end the call and turn to Dean who seems to be not so comfortable with my little lunch date. “Why c

"Get out of here." I yell excitedly into the phone and then burst out laughing. "Yes, really it's me. I saw a newspaper article about your fashion design business and starting thinking about you again. Do you realize in high school, I actually had a huge crush on you?" Donovan, the man on the phone says with a deep male voice. "I had no idea." I reply softly and my voice trails off when I realize that Dean is starting to get really jealous. Not wanting to cause a conflict, I decide to end the call quickly and say, "Hey, can I call you tomorrow? It has been a really long day and I am tired." "Sure. What time?" He asks, sounding a bit put out. "How about 10 a.m.? Then maybe we can have lunch together to talk about all the old times. Does that sound good?" I ask quickly while watching Dean pace around the bedroom. "Yeah. Sounds fine." He states and f

"Don't move!" I hear a policeman scream in the background.I open my eyes and immediately wish that I hadn't, because the next thing I know I am getting body slammed by one of the police officers. "Stay down!" He exclaims before I feel my head being pinned to the ground and my face getting pressed into the pavement. As they handcuff me, I try to stay still so it doesn't hurt so bad.Crying out, I try to say, "Stop, please." However the officer doesn't listen.Being barely able to breathe, I try to take a deep breath and when I can't I start to sob hopelessly. He pulls me up finally by the elbow with one hand and yanks me mid air before placing me on my feet. "Stay still or I will have to do it again. Do you understand me Ms.?"Too concerned with the fact that everything hurts like hell now, I completely miss what he is saying to me so he yanks me around to face him and repeats himself while growling at
