“I quit my job today.”Audra breaks the silence as we lie together on her couch, wrapped in a plush gray and white leopard print blanket. I look down at her as she is snuggled into my chest. “What are you going to do now?” I feel my heart speed up, anxiety flooding my mind. “I’m not sure. I have enough in my savings to float for a couple months and my rent is paid until my lease ends in a month. Lexi said she could get me a spot in her club.”“Who is Lexi? What club and where? A spot doing what?” “Lexi is my best friend. It would be dancing at a club in Hurley. She dances there full time.”“Is that what you want?”She doesn’t answer me. “What if you stayed with me? I was serious when I offered before. If you really want to work, I can find you a position within my company. Hell, I would hire you as my housekeeper if you wanted. Whatever it takes for you to stay.”She stays silent, her eyes telling me she’s deep in thought. I kiss the top of her head and wrap my arms around her.
I am standing in the driveway of possibly the biggest house I’ve ever seen. When Matthew said he was viewing houses today, I didn’t think he meant ones six times the size of my childhood home. “Isn’t this a bit more space than 1 person needs? I mean… you could lose Butters in here.” It sounds like a joke but I’m actually kind of serious. “Do you want to skip this one?” “Oh no. My nosy ass wants to know what 1.3 million dollars looks like in the form of a house. We are going to look.”He laughs and shakes his head at me. “What kind of house do you want to look at? One you would seriously consider?”“I don’t know. Something probably a third of the size of this one. I would love something with a screened in porch for Butters. And a massive bathtub. One that can fit both of us comfortably.”“When we get back from viewing this one we can search homes with those qualities. I suppose it is silly for one man to have 13 bathrooms.”“I think you should get what you want. This is going to be
My heart pounds in my ears as I run down the sidewalk. I’m 2 blocks from home and about to set myself a new personal record. Moments later, I arrive back at my building, scan my key fob and push the glass door open. I still have my runner’s high going and I don’t see a dark figure emerge from the shadows and slip in behind me. The elevator opens and suddenly I’m pushed inside from behind. Before I can scream, a hand covers my mouth and the other holds my arms forcibly behind my back. “Hello, Audra.” My attacker whispers into my ear as he tightens his grip around my wrists. “It’s been a long time. You look good, baby.”I recognize his voice. His cologne. It’s Tyler. Panic takes over my entire body and I try to free myself. He tightens his grip on my arms and pulls me even closer to him. I can feel his erection against my backside. I stomp on his foot and use the weight of my body to slam him against the side of the elevator. It stuns him for a moment but I’m still trapped. We ar
I hiss with pain as Audra places an ice pack on my hand. My knuckles are swollen and I’ll probably have bruises by morning. “Here. Take these.” Audra instructs me, handing me 3 ibuprofen and a glass of water. “If you still have a lot of swelling in a couple days, we will need to get X-rays to make sure you didn’t fracture anything.”“Thank you.” I say as I take the ibuprofen and pop them into my mouth. I want to ask her more about this entire situation but I know she’s fairly shaken up. Whatever it is, it can’t be good. “I’m going to go clean up. Then I’ll make us some dinner. Wait here.” I watch her disappear into her bedroom and wish I could follow her. I want to take her mind off of this evening. I’m so glad I arrived when I did. I can’t stand the idea that something very bad could’ve happened tonight. She reappears about 20 minutes later wearing a T shirt and shorts. Her damp hair is pulled back into a messy braid. Even fresh out of the shower, wearing an old shirt and runnin
Images of Tyler haunted my dreams for weeks after the incident where Matthew came to my rescue. Matthew hasn’t left my side since then. He thinks that once we move my nightmares will get better. I hope he’s right. I don’t know how many more black eyes I can accidentally give the man before he runs away. He closes on the house tomorrow and we’ve been shopping online for furniture to fill our massive dream house. He told me to buy anything I wanted for the kitchen. Anything at all, the sky is the limit. It’s 3am now and Matthew is fast asleep next to me while I continue to procrastinate checking out my cart full of $3500 worth of dishes, pots and pants, utensils and small kitchen appliances. He told me everything brand new for a brand new start for the two of us. I decide to text Lexi since I know she’s just gotten done with work. I send her a link to the MLS listing with the words “I bought a house!”Not even 2 minutes later, she replies. Lexi: Bitch I know you’re lying! You don’t
“Are you ready?” I ask as I lead Audra into the main living space of our new home. “Just show me already!” She exclaims, trying to brush my hands from in front of her eyes. “Ok, open!”She looks around and gasps. She doesn’t need to say anything. Her face says it all. I had closed on the house 3 days early to have everything set up and ready for us to just start living in it. I even bought Butters his own massive 6 foot tall cat tree, which was placed right in front of the floor to ceiling windows in the living room so he could look outside to his furry little heart’s content. “What… how… when did you do all this?!” “I closed early and hired a team to do everything. I wanted it to be done so we could just walk in and start our new adventure together without the stress.”She places her arms around my neck and jumps up to wrap her legs around my waist and kisses me fiercely. “Thank you.” She whispers as she presses her forehead to mine. I kiss her gently and carry her upstairs to
When I wake up after our first night in our new home, I see that Audra is not next to me. Instead, Butters is happily stretched out next to me, as far as he can reach. I rub his back and he chirps at me before rolling over to expose his stomach. I give him some belly rubs for a few minutes before pulling on some sweatpants and heading downstairs. The smell of bacon greets me when I’m halfway down the stairs. I make my way into the kitchen where I’m greeted with a cup of coffee and a kiss. “Good morning.” She says as she returns to the stove. “I have to go into the office today. Is there anything you’d like to do today while I am out?”“I’m not sure. Normally I would go shopping on my day off but now every day is my day off and I need to conserve my money right now.”I reach into my wallet and pull out my black credit card. “Anything you want. It’s yours. With me, you’re never going to have to worry about money again. I want nothing more than to spoil you and give you everything y
I sit at my desk and contemplate if 9am is truly too early for a drink. I know her presence isn’t a coincidence. My mother had to have something to do with this nonsense. Kristine Whittemore. On paper she’s the real deal.In real life, she is unbearable. Her father owns an international company that designs and builds machines for manufacturing. She’s done nothing over the last decade but jet around the globe, collecting various fashion merchandising degrees that she will do nothing with. She’s not even unpleasant to look at. She’s a very pretty woman. But she’s about as deep as a damp napkin and her voice makes Fran Drescher sound like an angel. Kristine tried relentlessly to undermine my engagement to Lydia. Little did she know that my marriage to Lydia was based upon a business agreement. It didn’t matter if Lydia and I were in love. We did fall in love eventually, but it wasn’t always that way. A single knock sounds on my door before Kristine invites herself in. “Oh Matth
I try to make as little noise as possible as I dart through the thick woods. I can hear him screaming my name. He’s a ways behind me but is closing the gap quickly. I stop to listen for him but heart is throbbing loudly in my ears as I crouch behind a large fallen tree. I’ve been running for what feels like miles. No matter how far I run I only seem to get further from anyone who can help me. I am ready to let my body relax for moment and catch my breath when I hear a twig snap. A cold chill shoots down my spine and my breath is caught in my chest. I don’t dare move a muscle or even so much as blink. I carefully look around but I do not see or hear anything. I slowly stand to move again when I feel someone grab me from behind. I try to scream but a hand covers my mouth, muffling the sounds trying to escape. “Shhhh… be a good girl and be quiet. Calm down. Don’t run.” Tears stream down my face and I struggle against his tight grip on my arms behind my back. The harder I fight, the
The way the dress clings to Audra’s perfect body like a glove. Her sultry hair and make up. Seeing the way every man tonight wanted her and knowing she is mine and only mine.The amount of self restraint I had to have tonight at the party is unbearable. Now that we are home, I can’t control myself any more. My cock throbs against my tight pants, screaming to be let free. Audra asks me to unzip her dress for her. I oblige, pressing up against her as the dress falls to the floor. I feel her body tense in response to feeling my erection press against her perfect, heart shaped ass. I cup her breasts in my hands and tease her nipples until they are standing at attention. My hand travels south across her smooth skin until I reach the edge of her lace thong. As I run my finger along the inside edge of the thong, I kiss and nibble the nape of her neck. She moans in response and grinds her ass against me. “You want this, baby?” I whisper in her ear and slide my fingers under the lace of he
Chapter: AudraI gaze at my reflection in the full length mirror, fussing with my dress, trying to decide if I should change. “You look perfect.” Matthew says, emerging from around the corner. He walks up behind me, placing his hands on my hips and leaning his head down on my shoulder. The strapless black cocktail dress hugs my curves, the hem stopping halfway down my thighs. My hair flows freely down my shoulders. I decided to straighten it today; it’s full length ending at the small of my back. He helps me put on the necklace he had custom made for me and hands me my black patent leather pumps. After I slip on my shoes and grab my black clutch, I give my reflection one more glance in the mirror. “They’re going to love you. Relax.” He kisses my cheek and takes my hand to draw me toward the door. We are taking a company limousine tonight to Matthew’s sister’s party. Matthew opens the car door for me, holding my hand as I climb in. He climbs in behind me, closing the door before
I stare out the window as the plane descends into Minneapolis. It’s already nightfall and the city lights shine brightly against the dark horizon. I am happy to be back. The east coast is a different breed of people. Here in the Midwest, everyone is overbearingly friendly. We will casually chat with a complete stranger in a grocery store without thinking twice. Vermont isn’t like that. People aren’t necessarily rude but it feels that way because I’m so accustomed to the Midwestern mentality. I switch on my phone as the plane taxis down the runway into the terminal. I have contemplated texting Audra so many times since I decided to move back but I can’t bring myself to do it. She hasn’t reached out to me in months. Not since the night I told her I couldn’t be the person she wanted me to be. She moved out of the apartment I rented for her. I have no idea where she is. The guilt of pushing her away has eaten me alive since then. I sold everything I couldn’t fit into a carry on bag,
I’ve played with men and I’ve played with women, but nothing could have prepared me for the pleasure I was experiencing in this moment. Having two hard, thick cocks inside me. Filling me to the brim as they alternate thrusting in and out. Being pleasured by two men who know exactly how I like being fucked is going to ruin me. “Fuck, yes!” Austin growls as he thrusts deep into my tight ass hole. “You like being fucked by two cocks, little slut?” Before I can speak, my body replies for me as I come hard, tightening around both him and Matthew, shaking from the waves of pure ecstasy. “Oh I think our naughty little girl likes it a lot.” Matthew replies before pulling out of me and bringing his cock to my lips. I greedily suck my cum off of it like a melting popsicle. Austin holds my hair back as he lifts me up and down his cock, watching me take Matthew’s entire length into my mouth. I come again, triggering his release and I feel his cock pulse inside me. Matthew pulls me off of Aus
“Who is Simon?”Matthew’s question takes me by surprise and I’m too stunned to speak for a moment. “He’s an old friend. Why?” I answer vaguely but with a neutral tone. The last thing I want is to sound defensive or guilty. “Just curious. I saw his name pop up when he called last night. I’ve never heard you mention Simon before.”“Are you jealous, Matthew Christiansen?” I ask, raising an eyebrow at him. “No.” He responds in a surprisingly calm manner. “I’ve only ever met Lexi. You never talk about your family or other friends. I was just curious.”“Truth be told, I don’t really have anyone else aside from Lexi, Simon and you. My parents divorced when I was young, I am an only child, my parents are divorced. My dad lives in Spring Valley and my mother lives in Alaska. There’s not much to tell.”He wraps his arm around my side and pulls me closer to him. I don’t think it was the answer he was digging for but he seemed satisfied with my response. “See anything you like?” He asks me, g
The pitter-patter of heavy raindrops on the window wakes me from my deep sleep. I check my phone for the time, disturbing Butters. He stretches and sighs loudly as he snuggles back into my pillow. It is only 4am. I see a missed call from Simon but no text messages. I’ll text him in the morning. We haven’t spoken in months. We used to talk daily. I place my phone back on the nightstand and lie back down, letting out a deep sigh. I love how much my life has changed recently. I love the life Matthew and I are building together. But I miss my best friend so much it hurts. I have never even mentioned Simon to Matthew. I’m not necessarily hiding anything but I’m not entirely sure how welcoming Matthew would be to the knowledge that Simon and I had blurred the lines of our friendship, crossing boundaries we shouldn’t have. I think my past with Tyler has also left me jaded. I avoid conflict even if it means I cause myself physical or emotional pain. Reminding myself that Matthew is not
It’s been a little over a month since Audra and I have had sex. I know I need to let her heal properly and keeping my hands to myself has been excruciating. I came home from work early with the intention of helping myself relieve some tension. I close the door to my office since Lita is here. Before I can turn on my computer, my phone pings. It’s Dave texting me to let me know he emailed the file for the background check I asked for. I abandon my plan for self love and open the file. Simon Thomas Park. Born April 27, 1996. Only child. Lived in Spring Valley, WI. Currently lives in Burlington, VT. No criminal record. No children. Not married. This guy is as basic as it gets. So who is he to Audra and why is he contacting her? Digging further into the file I see they attended the same high school but didn’t attend the same college. There’s really not much that connects them. I open the attached photos. One is of Audra and Simon together in front of a large body of water in the midd
A rumble of thunder rouses me from my slumber. I roll from my back to my belly and sleepily gaze toward the middle of the bed but see that it is empty. The thunderstorm outside makes it unusually dark in the room and I’m not sure what time it actually is. I grab my phone from my nightstand and see that it’s 7:45am. Matthew is already on his way to the office if he hasn’t already arrived. I grumble and wrap myself back into my cocoon of soft down and close my eyes again. Moments later, Butters jumps onto the bed and walks up the length of my body before stopping to sit right between my shoulder blades. He purrs loudly for a minute before he takes a paw and starts to gently bat at the edge of the blanket next to my face. He meows softly and then bats at me again, slightly more aggressively this time. “Alright, fine.” I groan as I roll over and push him and the blankets off of me. I follow him downstairs to the kitchen and I pour food into his bowl. I make a mental note to look into
