Amberleigh felt as though she closed her eyes and two weeks had passed when she opened them again. They were on the cusp of April. The days often rainy, the nights shorter, as sunlight held its grasp over the world a bit longer, helping to keep the darkness at bay.Love was in the air indeed, perhaps leading to a new crop of life by next spring. Though Amber couldn’t exactly say that Ash and Ebony’s budding relationship was love, it certainly had potential. Ebony told Amber all about the great sex and Amber lived vicariously through her friend. Just the fact Ebony kept wanting to get more of that ginger fix over and over, said a lot. These days the dark diva had become more of a hit it and quit it type of girl. But Ebony kept letting her garden be watered by the same hose.Speaking of gardens, Amber’s was even more beautiful than ever before. She and Leo often took sunset strolls through its paths, usually making some new breathtaking discovery along the way. Both her tummy and her lo
“Maybe it’s time we just take what we have to the marshals Grayson. This is far too fuckin’ dangerous. Let them do their job for a change. You nearly got yourself beaten to death-"“We have nothing! Nothing concrete to link them to Adam’s death. The marshals won’t do shit. They’ll dismiss it and we’ll lose any fucking chance to ever get justice for my brother. We stick to the original plan.”His words had been calm enough, but his eyes had flashed with a deep lying rage. Amber could see beneath his neutral expression to the man on the edge barely holding it all fucking together. Someone needed to talk him back from that ledge.“The original plan isn’t fucking working Grayson. Amber’s right. We should get help from people far better qualified and equipped than us. They have resources we don’t. We have the ransom videos, the texts from-" started Leo.Grayson’s fist shot out and collided with the counter. It was eerily similar to what his father had done to the same counter a few weeks a
Babies was what Doc wanted to discuss with the expectant parents apparently.“Have you given any more thought about proceeding with that amniocentesis?” he asked.Amber chewed her lip and looked at Grayson. They really hadn’t discussed it. Not since early on when Grayson was being a demanding dick and trying to order Amber into doing it. That obviously hadn’t fucking worked. He was at least starting to learn he couldn’t order her around like one of his employees. She demanded a partnership not a dictatorship.Grayson ran a hand through his hair. These types of uncomfortable discussions reminded him how he fucked up by playing Russian Rolette with his unborn child’s life and hadn’t let Amber in on the game at all until it was too late. He had to live with that guilt and the knowledge he could have passed on the disease to his daughter. Amber felt bad for him, but there were no changing things now. He’d made a decision and they all had to live with those consequences.“I know you went
They got one more visitor at the warehouse that Saturday, though this one, only Grayson had been expecting. The same twenty something gentleman who’d brought the company laptop by, showed up with some documents for his boss to look through and a cane. Yes, Grayson had made one of his assistants bring him a fucking cane.Amber played polite host with Mr. Hamilton, who she discovered was a paid intern for The Godwin Railroad corporate office. He was a people pleaser and trying to get in nice with the main boss’s son. He was the guy who’d bring the coffee, toast the bagels, do lots of the grunt work behind the scenes and get little credit. Amber almost had sympathy for the attractive, fit, smooth talking blonde with veneers to die for. But she could see the ambition in his eyes and the wolf beneath his sheep's clothing. He was going to climb his way to the top in this town, probably with a trail of broken hearts in his wake.After he left, no doubt to do some other menial task for the co
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
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
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
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
