Ondina On their way to the mall, they socialized about Camilles audition and how beautiful france would be. Once they entered the mall, Camille turned to Ondina. "Okay. First what's the fashion trend in france right now? You don't want to stick out like a sore thumb." Camille asked while typing into the search bar. Ondina rolled her eyes as she waited for her friend surfed the web. After a few seconds, they were off shopping. Camille picked out pretty much everything that would show off Ondinas curves."Let us not forget about sweaters." Camille placed an oversized sweater over Ondinas arm, and they made their way to the counter. "Camille, I don't think I can afford any of this." She looked down at the pile of clothes she had in her arms. Feeling immediately worried and embarrassed for her lack in finances. Camille pulled out a black card and with a big smile, she said, “you’re not the only one who bagged a rich guy.”"Camie! I can't have you using your sugar daddy money on my cl
OndinaThe next day, Ondina spent most of her time planning out what she would wear. She checked the time differences, and weather so that she could dress accordingly. When she felt confident enough, she decided to finish her writing. Raphael was busy with work, so she didn't hear from him. Seeing the time read 7:15pm, Ondina decided to take a two hour nap. She figured she could use the nap given the flight.* * *An alarm rang out in the distance."Focus!" Ondinas mother snapped her fingers just a few inches from her face. "Do you have any idea how what you're doing- no, what you’re saying will affect this family?" Her father sat on the arm of the sofa with his face resting in his hands. Anger and disappointment filled her chest."Is that all you care about? Your image? Are you even hearing me right now?" Rising from the sofa, her father walked over and stopped a few inches from her face, striking her."Our image is more important than a regetful decision you decided to make." Hol
Ondina Even though the flight was six hours, it felt like three. The first hour was silent. She was so nervous and also a bit embarrassed after realizing what she had done.I just dry humped him... Great. Really making myself look like a teenage virgin. But it wasn't as if it wasn't the truth. She hadn’t really experienced sex before. Not in the way Camille explained it. Sex terrified her. She couldn't imagine it feeling as amazing as it did with the gentle kisses he had given her. At least not until now. Now her mind wondered down the ripples of Raphaels muscles. She ached to know what it would be like to have him there. Inside of her. Fear also took its familiar place in her stomach every time she allowed her mind to go there. By hour two, she was more relaxed and made casual conversation about hobbies and food dishes. By the Third, Raphael was more open and playful. She hadn’t taken him for a comedian but was delightfully surprised by his silly side. By the fifth, the conversatio
Raphael It was taking everything in me to not hop in the shower with her. If she hadn’t seemed so distant, I would have. It's so hard to read her. One minute she's on top of me, itching to rip my clothes off, then the next she's shy and ready to bolt for the door. I can't tell if I'm doing something wrong or right. In frustration, I fell back into bed. I'll rest my eyes for a bit before the meeting. I thought to myself.A knock at the door brought me out of a sleep I hadn’t realized I'd fallen into. I quickly got out of the bed and walked out into the front room and approached the door."Service de chambre." A soft voice chimed from the other side of the door. Room service. Perfect.I opened the door to find a tall brunette in a black and white pencil suit, sporting a name tag that read ‘Entretien ménager.’ I retrieved the tray and responded to her."Merci." I pulled the tray in and shut the door. The shower was still running so I knew I wasnt asleep for very long. While she showere
Ondina She could feel herself getting moist and retreated. She didn't want to ruin her new lingerie before he could even see her in it. She quickly dressed and moved onto her face. Brushing her teeth and washing her face, she applied lip gloss and eyebrow primer. She had thick eyebrows, and she had made sure she plucked any rogue hairs before she left. The primer was just to uniform them.Ondina checked the time again. 4:16pm.Might as well get comfy. She relaxed into the bed and flicked through shows and comfortably settled on Hawaii Five-O. After a few minutes into the show, Ondina drifted.***"You don't cry rape after choosing to be a slut!" Tears streamed down Ondinas face."But i-" Her dad wrapped his hands around her throat."I should have never let you stay! You little ungrateful bitch!" He yelled in her face as his grip grew tighter. She could feel the panic overwhelming her. She could hear her mother's cry and plead with him to stop. "I lost my job because of you! Are you f
Raphael"well they aren't really dreams, their more like memories..." She had just managed to calm herself down before continuing, but I could already tell that she was going to cry again at any moment."My family." I could see the moisture collect in her eyes as she continued on."When I sleep... The memories that hurt the most returns." Tears pooled in her eyes, and I immediately regretted pushing her into telling me. Unable to resist, I wiped away each tear that dropped. She smiled weakly before she continued. "I understand how you felt... About your father... Mine wasn't much different." She paused to collect herself before she continued. "He was never kind. At least not to me, but my sister, Anna, she was their favorite. The perfect one. I never understood why until my senior year." I massaged her hand as I watched her struggle with the memory."Turns out that my mom had an affair with another man, and I was their love child." She gathered all her hair and pulled it to one side.
OndinaCautiously, she brought more of him inside of her mouth. To her surprise, she was able to put him in her throat without gaging. A grunt escaped his lips at this movement, and she could feel him groaning harder in her mouth. She could feel the blood rushing through his veins. He's going to cum! With a sudden rush of excitement, she worked faster moving up and down him, taking him deeper every time.Feeling how hard he was and hearing how labored his breathing pulled at her soul. Oh my God. She moaned loudly around his dick as she felt waves of pleasure rip through her midsection. How is this even possible? She could feel her own orgasm approaching. Continuing to move her mouth up and down his dick, she looked up at him. She could see every vein in his neck as his head fell back. He let out a strangled groan as his seed slid down her throat and she own orgasm raked through her body. Still feeling the waves of pleasure, she swallowed every last drop of him.She looked up at him as
Raphael"Sorry about all of my baggage... I didn't expect for that to happen." She stated."You don't need to be sorry. I'm glad you told me. Opening up to me like that really helped me to understand you better." Pushing up to look at me, she started. "But we're in France! This was far from romantic."Smiling is becoming the new normal. "To me, being open with your partner is as romantic as romance could get." Leaning forward I placed a gentle kiss on her lips. "And did you forget? I asked you on this trip because I wanted to get to know you better." Resting back onto my chest, sleepily, she said. "Let's visit the Eiffel Tower."Letting exhaustion consume me, I replied, "It's a date." ***Ondina"Wake up, Love." It had been years since Ondina had rested so peacefully. Opening to him wasn't as scary as she thought it would be. He was actually understanding and comforted her. I didn't expect him to be so caring. His reactio
Five years later...I woke up to the ringing of an alarm clock. Like always, it was Ondina's. She had a million of them set for every ten minutes. What for? I had no idea, but today, it wasn't just an annoyance. It was a painful reminder of the chaos that was about to erupt. Fire year old twins were a force of nature. The ringing of the alarm grew louder. I groaned, reaching for the snooze button, but a gentle hand stopped me. "Don't even think about it," Ondina murmured, her voice laced with a sleepy smile. "The monsters will be here any minute."I still couldn't believe I was married to a woman so beautiful. Her dark hair was a tangled mess against the silk pillow and her eyes were still heavy with sleep, but the warmth radiating from her was undeniable. She was, indeed, my everything, and now, carrying our third child, she possessed a radiant glow that made my heart ache with a love so strong it sometimes felt like a physical weight."Monsters?" I teased, pulling her closer. "I
RaphaelI was just finishing up paperwork she my office door opened and in walked Celeste. She swung her hips a little too hard and she smelled of expensive perfume."Raphy, darling," she purred, the word sounding like a hiss on her tongue. "So good of you to see me.""Celeste," I replied.I was already annoyed and just wanted together this over with. "I wasn't aware I had a choice. Your unannounced visit last night hardly left me one."She ignored the chairs and sat her ass on the edge of my desk. Her crimson lips curved into a practiced pout. "Oh, don't be like that, Raphy. I just wanted to see you. To catch up."My jaw tightened. "Catch up? By crashing into my home, heavily intoxicated, and physically assaulting my wife?"Her perfectly practiced pout faltered and was replaced by a flicker of annoyance. "Ondina was being dramatic. It was merely a little… disagreement with her.""A disagreement that involved you grabbing her hair and screaming about how she stole your life?" "He
RaphaelThis could not be happening. Not tonight. Not when Ondina was finally happy. She lunged herself forward, trying to wrap her arms around my waist but I stiff armed her in the forehead."Celeste," I whispered."How did you find our- that doesn't matter." Trying to keep my voice calm I stated."You need to leave.""Leave?" she shrieked, Loud enough for the entire house to hear her. "Leave? After everything? After you promised me forever? You were supposed to be mine, Raphy!"Ondina appeared behind me, her face a mask of confusion and then, registration."How the fuck did you get here?" Ondina positioned herself between me and Celeste."Ondina!" Celeste shrieked again, pointing a wobbly finger in her face. "You! How does it feel living MY life?! I was supposed to be Mrs. Lahsen! I was supposed to live in this house! I was supposed to-" before she could continue, Ondina pushed her in the chest."Back up or I'll call the police!" Before Celeste could launch into another tirade, An
Raphael"Are you sure we can pull this off, Raf?" she asked, her voice tight as she surveyed the mountain of unopened boxes in the living room."The movers have it all covered, my love. Don't stress. " I kissed her forehead."It's just, with it being the twins' birthday, and the family dinner... it's all happening so fast." I could understand why she would be overwhelmed.not only was the twins birthday, it was also moving day. I wrapped my arms around her, burying my face in her beautiful curls. "Hey, breathe. We've got this, little flower. I'm here, aren't I? And besides, you're forgetting the cater we hired." She chuckled, some of the tension left her shoulders. "you're right. I'm over reacting. I need to calm down.""Exactly! Now, tell me, what's priority number one?""Getting Cam and Camie's play area set up. If they're happy, we're all happy." We exchanged smiles.She was right. Those two could bring the the sky down on us if they weren't happy, but they were the best kind of
MasonBreathing was becoming a task for me. Every breath hitched a ragged protest against the pain that I was feeling every day, but today... today was different. The air hung heavier. It was like I could feel my time running out. I knew. Today was the end, and Ondina words clung to my heart. "You're gonna die here, and no one will miss you." A sigh escaped my lips. I could tase the blood in my lungs. My vision was patchy and it burned to keep my eyes open. They had gotten used to the dark after months of being in it, but now, they were struggling against the glow of that one single bulb I hadn't know was there. Ondina forgot to turn it off and this was a new kind of torture.I was left here, visibly able to see just how far gone I was. In the dark, I couldn't see much detail of myself, but now, I could see everything. I was far from the man I used to be, and I had no one to blame but myself. Regret was a useless emotion now. A luxury I could no longer afford, but it was there and
OndinaHis face was gaunt, his eyes sunken and hollow. His hair was longer and his facial hair was unkept, like he hadn't shaves in months. His clothes were worn and filthy, clinging to his sickly frame. He looked like he hadn't eaten in months. He was looking up at her, his eyes wide with a flicker of... 'was it hope?'Ondina took a step back when the memories crashed down on her like a tidal wave of horror and pain.She could remember the fear, the sting of the restraints cutting into her skin, and the relentless torment. She could remember his cruel laughters as he had enjoyed her suffering and how he mocked her as she cried. The memory that paralyzed her the most was his haunting groans of Camilles name as he repeated it over and over again while he used her body for his own gratification. She remembered the agonizing pain of premature labor and the fear for her unborn children as the darkness swallowed her whole. She remembered every single detail.He had taken everything from he
OndinaThree days earlierAfter a sleepless night, Ondina watched as Anna cooed over the twins. "You're a lifesaver," Ondina said, forcing a smile. "I'll be back as soon as I can.""Take your time," Anna said, already distracted with a game of peek-a-boo. "They're in good hands."Ondina kissed each of her twins on the top of their heads she said her goodbyes. "Be good for Anna," she murmured, her voice thick with a mother's anxiousness."They'll be perfect angels, Onny, now shoo." Anna fanned Ondina towards the door.Ondina slipped out the door, her heart pounding in her chest. She drove carefully. Once she was on the highway, she pressed down on the accelerator. She was feeling every bit of anxious, but she needed answers. The drive was agonizing. Doubts gnawed at her. What if she was wrong? What if she was overreacting? But then she was flooded with the memory of the look on Raphael's face every time he told her he had a business trip, and her resolve hardened.Finally, she rea
RaphaelAs I stepped onto the balcony, the crisp morning air caressed my face. Sunrise bled across the horizon, painting the building tops in hues of rose and gold. It was a beautiful day. A perfect day, almost.Inside, Ondina was stirring, the soft laughter of our twins, was already filling the air, letting us know they were awake. The thought of them tugged a smile onto my face. Two perfect, healthy babies. I was truly blessed. After everything, we were finally moving forward in a positive direction.I leaned against the metal railing, the cold was slowly creeping into my hoodie, but I barely noticed. My gaze began to drift towards the light traffic beneath me as my thought began to consume me. It's bee six months. Six months that we've had him. Six months of torture, and I still didn't feel the satisfaction I though I would.Thomas stepped beside me, his face looked strained. "Coffee's on," he muttered he lit a cigarette with a shaky hand."When did you get her?" I asked, pushing
OndinaOndina stirred her tea as she stared aimlessly. Raphael's conversation with Thomas kept playing on repeat in Ondina's head. 'What is he hiding from me?' She felt desperate to know who was in that cabin, and why Raphael was so desperate to keep it secret that he would lie to her.Ondina knew Raphael wasn't always forthcoming, but this felt different. It felt deliberate, and it made her feel uncomfortable. Her gaze drifted to the two sleeping infants in their bassinets. Cameron looked so much like his father, and Camille was a miniature version of herself. They were the reason she needed to know. Their fragile, innocent lives deserved a foundation built on truth, not secrets.Taking a deep breath, Ondina reached for her phone. She scrolled through her contacts until she found Raphael's mother's number. She played out in her head what she wanted to ask, but had no idea how she should go about it. After a few minutes, she took a deep breath and dialed. after a few rings, his mother
