2020-05-01 23:34:09Libby Gretchen loved shopping. She loved the perfumed, air conditioned mall. She basked in the attention of the sales staff and pawed over different fabrics and textures. She would try on new boots and hats, get a free make-over and then head to the spa for a manicure. The garments she brought home would often never be worn or maybe worn once. She was a shop-a-holic. It was a compulsion to her. She would rather eat porridge for a whole month so she would have more money to shop than eat a proper diet. Of course, now money was no concern for her and as the time had passed she only loved shopping at the best boutiques. But the same could not be said for her only daughter.
If it was a choice between shopping and diving into a swimming pool of cold vomit, Rhonda would take the vomit. She'd tie her hair back, get in a bathing suit and dive right in amongst the chunky bits. Every time she went to the mall she'd have to try on fifty different outfits while her mom sighed and suggeste

“When and where should I pick you up for the premier Rhonda?” Oberon had asked when he had called yesterday to fix their date. Rhonda had given much thought about this discussion and she did not want the paparazzi start any kind of rumours about him and her when actually even she did not know what he wanted from her. Of this she was certain that Oberon had no idea about their baby and until now she would like to keep it that way. Moreover she had given her father’s recent advice also a lot of importance before she replied him.“I don’t think that you would need to do that Oberon. I shall be staying at The Hyatt that night and I think we can meet there itself. You would not have to take this extra burden of picking me up and stuff,” Rhonda had replied in a light breezy voice.“Do I sense a hint of jealousy or envy in your voice Rhonda?” he had asked with a chuckle and Rhonda could feel the heat coming out of her ears.“Only a fool would be jealous to have the kind o

Oberon smiled at his own ingeniousness. Of course it was a damn brilliant move, but he was a bit miffed at the fact that it was Rhonda who had suggested it and not him, himself. Moreover it was Libby Gretchen’s movie, so starting off with a serious personal relationship with her daughter itself creating a buzz at the premier was a publicity stunt that he himself could not have choreographed so well.If the guy who had been put on his tail to check out the fact that if he was doing everything by the book then the investigator would go and report back that he was already in motion of taking the first step towards marriage and love.Love and marriage.Strange. He had always considered himself a confirmed bachelor and marriage had not been in the cards for him. But suddenly his biological father dies and gives him a task out of nowhere to have a family of his own if he had to find his own family first.It was just six twenty and the lobby of the hotel was abuzz w

In the middle of all his thoughts Oberon could feel that the light buzz which was going around from all the chatter in the lobby stop suddenly. It changed into surprise and excited speculation which made him aware of all the people turning and looking back and fixating at the head of the grand staircase which led down from the mezzanine level where the main restaurant was situated.Oberon was sure that it was bound to be one of the main actors of the movie which was premiering tonight, after all they were all supposed to be staying at this hotel only, so that none of the people had any problems in shifting the drunken actors after the ending of the after show party. Oberon turned around to see some instantly recognizable face from the glamour world.Recognition hit him like a truck hitting him with full force, and for a few moments Oberon could not exactly believe what he was seeing. He could not come to grips with what his eyes were showing him and he certainly could no

It had been almost a year since he had walked away from her in that hotel room where they had crazy wild mind blowing sex. It was as if the sheets would have caught fire if they had been tangled with one single more time. She had been forced to keep it aside and she had locked it up in a hole where no one was going to be able to reach it, not even herself. Was he remembering it now? Asked Rhonda to herself…Was he remembering how mind jarring it had been? Was that why he had not been moving a single inch from where he had been standing to meet her? He was still standing in the reception area looking at her as if she was an alien and he had never seen anything like her ever in his life, not even taking a step towards her in meeting her. Fine!! If he would not come to her then she would go all the way to him, she would take the plunge and cover the distance and force him to acknowledge the fact that he was here with her today and not anyone else. She would make him say it with h

Oberon gave Rhonda a twisted little smile and then raised his sardonic eyebrow in a question which was anything but innocent,” Are you getting in the spirit of the premiere Rhonda?”Tingles of burst of electricity ran up her arm and adrenaline shot up her bloodstream sharpening her mind against all the defense stations of her mind so that she could protect her already and obviously distressed heart from his sharp blows of questions. Her already vulnerable heart pitter-pattered its distress after being mocked in such a manner and it was plenty obvious that whatever Oberon wanted tonight from her was obviously nothing remotely or closely linked to a shift away from the platonic friendship that she had expected and which had made her heart grow fonder.“I thought that it was only right that I would lift my game a bit for the publicity limelight. After all I am the spokesperson to the producer-director of this movie. It would not do Mom any good to see me in the usual ragged

Oberon had tucked her arm into the crook of his elbow as they both went in the elevator so that Oberon could be able to do her bidding.“That tart tongue of yours…Gods Rhonda how I have missed it,” said Oberon with a contented sigh and then she smirked at him.“Too much honey for the busy bee, is it?” slinging insults at him was the only thing that could keep her mind and her heart under control which had gone into major overdrive if she thought about their proximity and this intimacy with a casual vibe that they were sharing. The zing that her skin was enduring was something beyond all the bounds of discretion but she was insanely jealous of all the women whom he considered to be his, but she did not want her tart tongue, as he had called it, the only thing to show that.To her intense relief, he laughed out loud and his green eyes danced with wicked mirth at her. His skin on hers were shooting pleasure along her nerve endings and the spine that she thought to be

“To be honest Rhonda, I can never control the hopes of any other person. I am not one with super-powers, am I? But I definitely can make sure that I do not feed their hopes,” said Oberon as he quietly answered her mocking and she again parried with him in her usual manner.“So still trying to maintain your unique brand of integrity?” she asked.“I have never liked deceit Rhonda and you know that. I have been harmed by that enough in my childhood to make me choose honesty over deceit every single time I havea decision to make,” said Oberon and Rhonda’s nerves started tingling again.She was keeping something so substantial from him like this she felt if she should blurt it out to him like that. Maybe she should blurt it out right now, throw the news of fatherhood in his lap suddenly and then see how he actually dealt with it. It would be something satisfying and she would love watching him squirm under her intense gaze. On the other hand, he had not still give

Before she could formulate her line of attack and open her mouth Oberon opened his and started the conversation without giving her a chance to get ready for it.“Where do you exactly fit in the deal Rhonda?” asked Oberon as he looked at her with a different kind of intensity.“I possibly cannot understand what deal you are talking about Oberon. Would you mind talking a bit more explicitly?” asked Rhonda.“The one where all the rich men try and attract the most beautiful women they can possibly afford and the most beautiful women try and attract the most rich men that they can. The one where my looks would just be an added bonus!! The one deal which my mother and your father has so frequently made in their lives to keep themselves in news?” he asked.“I don’t fit,” she shrugged casually and then she added,” I guess when it comes to an heiress you cannot separate her from the riches that are attached to her automatically. As a marriage prospect, the men would b

Oberon had planned to give this party before they left for Bolivia, its purpose to publicly celebrate their marriage which he still felt was the important thing to do. Their happiness together, he declared, would confound everyone and make it a scintillating affair, all the guests, glittering madly around them and trying to shine lights on cracks in their relationship and forced to concede failure because there were none.And that was certainly happening tonight, thought Rhonda, secretly amused by some of the outrageous questions that had been tossed at her and Oberon tonight as they stood arm in arm, greeting and chatting up with the guests who were rolling up despite the short notice. The whole A-list of Sydney society was agog with discussion to assess the newly married couple and how on earth had they been able to buy the place at Piper point as a family home.Besides, people generally wished them

Rhonda knew intuitively that he would retreat from her if she did not show her that she believed in him. Now was the moment to capture the intimacy that they had not reached before.”I am sorry that I listened to your mother. She conjured up things that have plagued my life and although I tried to look past them, I needed you to set them aside for me, to make me feel right with you again,” said Rhonda.“Have I done that?” asked Oberon, with blazing intensity in his gaze.“Yes,” she answered emphatically.” Yes, you have.”“Good!” A fierce triumph blazed from his eyes,” Because you are right for me, Rhonda. So very right for me. In every possible way that there is.”It would be easy now to revel in the rightness that he felt with her, to hold him to herself an

Oberon set down the towel that he had used to wipe down the water from his body and then drew Rhonda in a loose embrace as he focused his mind on speaking the truth on seeking the best path towards understanding. He rested his forehead lightly on hers and almost like he needed their minds to meet.“You have a family,” he started,” It may be dysfunctional but you have met every single member of it. You know what they are like. You know which cousins you like and which you hate. You know where they come from and you know what they can do. You can mix both freely with them, both on your mother’s side and on your father’s side.”Her shoulders pulled back, muscle tensing, whether in impatience or resistance he could not tell but she was in tune with this talk about her family.“That’s not to say that you were not alone, Rhonda. I know

Oberon felt too raw, too angry, too exposed, to be anywhere near Rhonda or near their son. He was not in the right state of mind to be taking care of Ruriel either. It was wrong to use his own fatherhood as a blindfold to the churning hatred stirred by his father’s attitude towards himself and his brothers and sisters…owing all of them nothing except their lives and not even each other. He had to deal with this all alone and then move past it…he had to step forward in the future.He sought out Karen, the nurse for Ruriel who was now an integral part of their household, finding her in the nursery quarters where Ruriel was due to have his morning nap. Having left his son in her care, he decided that what he needed at the moment was some of the hard mindless, physical exertion to get off from this sickening inner turbulence that was churning his insides.Oberon headed to the boatshed b

“Don’t you see it?” roared Oberon,” Don’t you get how obscene this is? We are not his sons and daughters.. we are not his children…we are just performing monkeys for him…who will perform the tricks and he will enjoy it from hell or wherever he is!!”He threw out his hands in furious disgust and then he advanced in the direction of Ferrera with his hands moving animatedly,” And you…you are the other director of the circus to make sure that we perform right, isn’t it? Having fun, are you? Seeing how well the outcast bastards are going to come back into Cedric Hunter’s fold when he dangles the carrot of money in front of all of us? Are you making sure of handing out the rewards to us like the good performing monkeys get peanuts when they finished their act?”Ferrera stiffened in the face of the oncoming attack and said,&rdquo

“Serendipity, yes,” Oberon bit his words concededly,” But my marriage to Rhonda had nothing to do with the conditions that my father laid down for inheriting a part of his estate which he supposed too be my worth and my share.”“The inheritance…” the lawyer gestured his hands indicating that it was simply an ambivalent factor.” Cedric simply used that as a power tool to drive you to re-appraising your life from the way that you were leading it when you received the letter a few months ago? It worked, did it not?”Breath hissed out from Oberon’s clenched teeth. He was steaming at this manipulation which was being orchestrated from the grave however Rhonda reasoned that it had actually done him no harm. Even if it was the rebellion against the way that Cedric Hunter had lived his life still then it had led them to here where they shared togethe

The furious words crackled across the room as Oberon charged through it, barely clothed in one of the white toweling robes kept at the dressing room of the terrace pool. It hung loosely at his shoulders, gaping at the front because he clearly had not stopped long enough to drag the edges together and do up the tie-belt. The brief black swimsuit that he wore underneath was clearly visible.Ruriel, probably still naked as he had been in the pool was wrapped in a towel and riding in the crook of his father’s arm, his little face looking brilliantly alert to the fascination of his father in steaming attack mode, his gaze following Oberon’s other arm as it stabbed out at Mr. Ferrera then swept back, pointing to the door.“Get out of our home!” he roared.“Oberon!!” The shock literally exploded from Rho

Rhonda was in the dining room, watching the apple-green silk curtains being put up. She had this warm snuggly feeling inside her that this was not a house anymore. And was gradually turning into their home. It was not a showcase of intimidating possessions but a place which soon become pleasing, harmonious and comfortable.Rhonda was not expecting any visitors. It was Saturday and morning was not a time for people to call, especially in their home not without an appointment. It surprised her greatly when their newly appointed housekeeper, Betsy came into the dining room to find her and to hand her a business card and announce,” I have put the gentleman in the parlour, Mrs. Hunter.”The gentleman. The rather old fashioned term and the respectful tone on the housekeeper’s voice immediately piqued Rhonda’s interest. The extremely efficient Betsy was only in her later forties and ha

We lie quietly for a few minutes more, and my hand now travels down your body, reaching your ass where I begin to lightly stroke you there. I know how much you like being petted there, and sure enough, after a few moments I begin to feel your nipples harden on my chest."Get up, sweetie," I whisper in your ear. You climb off of me, and sit on the bed, looking down at me. I can now see just how hard your nipples are, jutting out from your breasts hanging down on your body."Come up here," I say, pointing to the middle of the bed, "and kneel." You do as instructed, kneeling and facing the headboard. "Good girl - now bend over and put your head on the pillow." You comply with my instruction, putting you in one of my favorite positions. Your arms are folded, your head between them resting on the pillow, your pass pointing up into the air. I move around behind you, and gentle nudge your knees, moving them farther apa
