Chapter 12- So You Took It Out On Mario And A Jar Of Pickles?

After Grayson’s angry exit, Amberleigh did all those things she thought about in the panic room. She took a shower, cried, cussed the billionaire out while she paced Leo’s room, ate her body weight in pickles dipped in peanut butter, and broke shit.

Well it was actually an accident when she broke that ceramic Mario Leo had made in the seventh grade and she felt really badly about it. She’d thrown her smart watch a bit overaggressive onto his desk on her way to the shower and took out the iconic plumber like a bowling pin. She cursed Grayson some more, this time in Italian, as she tried to glue it back together.

She’d nixed her original plan to break shit for the very reason she was in Leo’s room. The thought did cross her mind to go into the billionaire’s museum of a bedroom and just let loose. But seeing as most of the collection had once belonged to his grandfather, then Adam, it seemed like a very shitty and disrespectful thing to do no matter how angry she was at him. Some lines s

    Amberleigh made it until midnight before she cracked. She decided someone needed to be the bigger person and extend the olive branch. She also decided that person would be Leo.“Leo?” she spoke into the darkness.“Yes Love?”His arms tightened around her. And his chin rested on the top of her head. Their bodies seemed to fit perfectly together.“Maybe you should text Grayson to see when he’s coming home. It’s getting late.”“Okay. I’ll do it for you.”Leo flipped on the light again. It wasn’t as if either of them had been sleeping anyway. Amber allowed him to have both his arms back for the task. And she chewed on the inside of her cheek as he unlocked his watch. She decided to check hers just in case she’d missed a text from the billionaire or something. She shouldn’t have been surprised when she had no texts from the stubborn bastard.Three minutes was a perfectly acceptable time frame to allow one to read and respond to a text. And after three minutes elapsed, Amber's heart was bea

    Amberleigh tried to press her father for more information, but he reiterated the fact he didn’t want to say much over the phone and to hurry. That naturally didn’t make Amber feel any better as she scrambled from the bed and shoved her feet into her sneakers. She wondered what the fuck had transpired over the last three hours when Grayson was supposed to be sleeping over in his office? How the fuck had he wound up with her father, and more importantly what had happened to him? Several more questions ran through her troubled mind as Amber tried not to fucking panic. Grayson was injured enough to need medical attention, that much she knew. But how badly he’d been hurt, how, and by whom was still up in the air. She was already to the door when she looked back at Leo. He was redressed in the clothes he’d worn the night before with his car keys already in hand. “Leo, we have to hurry! You heard what my father said.” She tried to keep her words even, but she still heard the hint of panic

    t took Amberleigh several minutes to fight her way back from that dark place and somewhat get her shit together. Right now, wasn’t about her or how she was feeling, it was about Grayson and making sure he got the care he needed. There would be time for beating herself up and self-blame later. And something else to add to that list was scaring the shit out of Leo and her father.Leo practically cried when she finally opened her eyes and said something. He hugged and kissed her. Her father also kissed both her cheeks. The chef was on the edge and trying to keep himself together the best he could. Having his best friend unconscious and beaten within an inch of his life was a heavy blow but adding a non-responsive pregnant fiancée into the mix, had almost been more than he could handle.They all tried to get her to lie down. The compromise came that she would sit by Grayson's stretcher and Doc’s son brought her some water. His name turned out to be Desmond and he was much quieter than his

    Amberleigh thought she was going to need some medical attention herself by the time her billionaire was all stitched up. She doubted she’d ever regain the full use of her right hand. But then again, she could just return the favor to him when she was in labor with their child. Relationship goals.She tried to discreetly work the feeling and blood flow back into it as Doc cleared up his mess and washed his hands. Then he asked Grayson some questions to test his neurological status and checked his pupils with a small light. Her baby daddy still had a nagging headache, felt dizzy, and sick to his stomach. All classic symptoms of a concussion. And even more reason a further scan of his head was important.While the doctor started going over some instructions for home, Grayson seemed to be teetering on that edge of sleep. Well, an assisted one anyway between the pain, head injury, and the narcotics.Amber kissed his forehead, “Get some rest baby. At least until we go have your MRI done.”“

    The Godwin had to pee. Normally that wouldn’t be such a calamity but factoring into account he couldn’t walk and still had some modesty, it complicated matters indeed. Grayson had never so much as taken a piss in front of Amber before. Leo on the other hand didn’t give a shit, . He and Amber had already passed that pivotal point in a relationship where they’d farted in front of each other and held conversations while releasing their bladders. They’d also left behind that phase in a relationship where it was necessary to pretend like you didn’t take a shit. No more middle of the night or pre-shower dumps, excessive flushing and odor sprays, they’d let nature take its course without shame. Hell, two days ago Amber had even pushed open the bathroom door mid-shit to yell to Leo what she wanted for lunch. Leo usually took a more gentlemanly approach on the matter and gave her fair warning to steer clear of the bathroom for a while. And they say romance was dead. Grayson had decided he wa

    Getting Grayson up those god-awful stairs went even worse than Amberleigh had expected. The billionaire had winced, tensed, and cursed on the way up as expected, but it was when he went quiet that scared the fuck out of Amber. She would have preferred he screamed and cried to that awful, gut twisting silence. And worse yet she couldn’t even get to him as she was trapped down the stairs due to it being so fucking narrow.He’d tried to be stoic, especially in front of the other men. But Amber had wound up crying enough for the both of them when Grayson stopped responding. Giovanni had brought along his beefy friend Tito again and Amber began to wonder if that was the man’s official role in the gang, to help get injured men in and out of Doc Corbin's basement.Leo walked beside her the best he could in the confined space and tried to calm her panic the best he could.“He’s probably just out again Love. It’s probably for the best right now.”“But what if it’s something else Leo? What if h

    Amberleigh thought it was the beginning of a bad joke, a chef, a hooker, two gangsters, and a billionaire walk into a bar. Well, there technically was a self-service latte bar at the fancy medical complex, but it was really just her exhausted mind running away with her that night. Or more correctly, that morning as they were on the cusp of dawn. She would need to make a stop at that latte bar or violence was likely to happen.And that violence was in danger of being directed at a certain man whom she wondered how she’d ever found him attractive. As Dr. Gainey let them in the back door, Amber had to resist the urge to take those same nails -she’d dug into her palms on the brutal drive here while listening to Grayson’s jagged breaths during each bump- and not rake them down the doctor’s face. How had she ever found the thirty-something man with the small, dark beady eyes, and full lips that spoke lies with a smile, in a velvet voice, worthy of her appreciative gazes and flirting? She de

    It seemed the issue of what to name their daughter wasn’t going to be solved in a small, crowded waiting room at five a.m. Several more names had been crossed off the list, and fewer more added. When it’d become apparent that Grayson had flowers on the brain, perhaps from the fake ones in decorative vases in the room, Amber decided his suggestion of was the last straw. She asked the billionaire if he loved their daughter, and if he wanted to get laid ever again, after which he stopped making suggestions that morning. It was probably for the best.Surprisingly Tito, whom Amber had assumed to be the strong, silent type, had offered up a suggestion which went to the top of the list. Mariella had sounded beautiful rolling off his Italian tongue, and even though Amber doubted most would do the pronunciation of it justice, it’d still made the number one spot. At least for now anyway.Dr. Gainey returned not long after Amber closed her list and said she was taking no more suggestions. Leo’s

    Luckily, Leo had saved the heavy topic of conversation for the next morning. Not that Amber had given him much choice in the matter as she had pretended to be asleep when he finally crawled into bed beside her that night. The chef laid it on a bit thick in the morning though, when she’d awoken to breakfast in bed and then a foot massage.“What’s all this for?” Amber asked as she speared a piece of sausage with her fork.“Because I love you. And a queen deserves to be pampered.”The scent of vanilla filled the room as Leo squirted some on his hands to rub into her feet. It felt divine. The food tasted wonderful as she hadn’t realized how hungry she’d been until the first bite hit her tongue. She’d skipped dinner last night after all.She snorted, “Don’t get me wrong, I like it. But you didn’t have to do all this babe. I told you last night on the phone I was fine with you spending time at the hospital.”“With Elle there. I think we should get our feelings out in the open Love. I didn’t

    Amberleigh felt like she was intruding on what should have been a private moment between Leo and Elle. It had been five months since Leo had last seen the woman he’d once planned on spending his life with. Circumstances had pulled them apart, but had fate now brought them back together again? Was this the universe’s way of telling them all they had it all wrong? That Leo and Elle were destined to be together, and Amber was destined to be alone.Amber had once thought she’d be forever parted from Grayson, then a baby in her belly, and a life changing phone call had put him back into her life. But now he’d chosen to walk away from her once again. But watching Elle and Leo just gaze at each other with so many emotions on their faces, only helped Amber realize, that neither of them had walked away from each other in any ways that mattered. In any ways but the physical. Physical distance was often less painful than emotional.Elle and Leo looked like those people who could go a month witho

  • The Endgame (book 4 of The Arrangement Series)   Chapter 48- Everything Is Falling Apart

    Amberleigh had cried herself to sleep in Leo’s arms that morning. When she woke up, puffy eyed, she cried some more. Every time she believed she had a handle on her tears, they seemed to come upon her again. Sometimes they crept upon her softly with seemingly little explanation and thoughts of sadness. Sometimes they came on violently with thoughts of anger. Needless to say, after an exhausted day of tears, Amber was in no mood to accompany Leo to the annual Godwin Foundation scholarship dinner that night.The last place she wanted to be was staring at Grayson and Courtney pretending to be a happy couple from across the table. To add salt to her wounds, she’d also be forced to play nice to Hugo Van Tessin, to face that evil bastard for the first time. And Daddy Godwin, another man she cared little for would also be in attendance. It seemed almost more than she could handle, especially in her current state of mind. She was a liability tonight and doubted all the concealer in the world

    Hostility, resentment, and unresolved feelings weren’t the only things waiting for Amberleigh back at the penthouse. Mr. Duvall, she assumed had placed their mail in Leo’s room. That was not odd in itself, but what was odd, was that Amber had gotten a letter at the penthouse. Few people knew she had resided there, and all her mail usually went to a P.O. box.At the penthouse, she’d gotten a random postcard once from Ebony as a joke, but that had been it. This time was different, it felt different as Amber looked at the cardboard envelope handwritten to her with no return address. But it didn’t have enough weight to it to be like a bomb or anything. At least she hoped anyway. Her imagination ran away with her, and she imagined getting anthrax or something from this mysterious letter from sender unknown.Leo was puttering around the room unpacking, being un-Leo like in his quietness. Still an after effect of the revelation and fight with his best friend. Not once did he make a joke or s

    Grayson knocked on the bathroom door once to check on Amberleigh. She sent him away requesting to be left alone. A short time later, the billionaire didn’t even attempt to get back into bed with her and Leo, instead placing himself at the other side of the warehouse in her school work space. It was for the best as she certainly wasn’t up for cuddling with her baby daddy right now.Amber doubted she’d be able to fall asleep even after she snuggled up against Leo’s back. Her chef stirred and turned until he was facing her. She was greeted by a wide, sleepy smile. She found one for him somehow and snuggled in closer, wrapping her arm around his waist and burying her face into his bare chest. Safe and steady and warm Leo. While Grayson was often reckless and unstable and cold. Leo had always been the safer choice.“Good morning, Love. How’d you sleep?” he asked with a yawn.“I’ve slept better,” she replied honestly.“Bad dream?”He kissed between her eyes as if to kiss away the worry line

    She let out a deep breath and Grayson noticed her trying to cut him with her hard gaze.“Are you seriously suggesting what I think you are suggesting?” Amber demanded, “I don’t even know who you are right now.”Grayson merely sighed at her, as if she was an impertinent child and he was irritated by her interruption. By her trying to bring some fucking decency and morality back into the room. He’d lost his fucking mind for sure. This was not the way. This was not justice. It was vengeance.“And what does Van Tessin love most?” asked Ambrov.Grayson eye’s held Amber’s as he began to speak, “Money,” his eyes turned back to Ambrov, “Hugo love’s money above all else. If he loses it, it will destroy him. That’s the way to bring about his downfall. Destroy it from within by bankrupting him. Break down those contracts. Block new ones. Hold the monopoly on the market for his most prosperous goods. I know you are more than capable of making this happen Mr. Ambrov.”Amber sighed internally. At l

    Amber was suddenly more afraid than she’d been down in The Rabbit Hole.“Grayson? Where are we? What is this place?” she asked.But before Grayson could answer, a door in front of them opened. Another man, though younger, but no less dangerous walked out. He already had a coldness in his eyes though he couldn’t be more than eighteen. This man had never been a child, or not one for very long.“He is ready to see you now. Bring the girl. He wishes to meet her.”His accent was not as thick. He’d likely been born here or moved to the city while he was still fairly young.Grayson nodded, “Thank you. And I meant no disrespect. I’m honored he agreed to meet with me.”“As you should be. He does not grant audiences to most. His time is very important.”The man moved aside so Amber and Grayson could get past. She took a deep breath as she followed Grayson into the room. She couldn’t see the king of this underground empire right away, as her lover’s broad back blocked her view.The billionaire w

    Instead, she allowed Grayson to lead her by the hand to that SUV. Her breathing was loud, her legs felt weak, but without his cane and with a bad knee, she was more of the one helping to hold Grayson up. Helping him keep steady as they exited the garage into the night.He kept murmuring into her ear that things would work out. There was nothing to worry about. They’d be home soon safe and sound. He wouldn’t let anything happen to her. But Amber really wasn’t listening to him. He’d already fucking let something happen to her.Amber spared a glance up at the night sky. The moon was full and round, the air crisp, and the sounds of life continued around them. Somewhere a dog barked, a car honked, a seagull squawked, the waves slapped against the docks. It's rhythm was almost hypnotic in a way. The rhythm of life helped to ground Amber, helped to keep her from losing her shit.A cold breeze snatched at her unbound hair, blowing it into her face, and causing her to shiver. She wore nothing

    Saturday ended on a high note, both literally and figuratively as Leo hit a vocal range no one knew he was previously capable of. This came as Amberleigh tried out a new sex toy on the willing test subject. A penis massage sleeve which also came with a suction feature, proved almost too much for her chef to handle as Amber slapped it on his large cock and cranked up the dial.Then of course, fair was fair, as Leo pushed a small insertable vibrator into Amber’s pussy. But it was no standard vibrator indeed as it came with a remote control. Leo kept the remote, enjoying messing with the settings and Amber being at his mercy. For several hours that night, often when she least expected it, Leo hit the button and both pleasured and tortured his fiancée.As for Grayson, while he wasn’t quite as adventurous at trying the new crop of toys, he did allow Amber to slide a penis vibrating ring up and down his shaft. But she wound up enjoying his new toy equally as much when it vibrated against he
