last update Last Updated: 2023-03-28 20:49:49

Amberleigh scrolled the internet looking for more information on Uriah Demarco as Grayson had his boys time with Asher and Leo slept. Other than an article relating to his arrest following a police chase in his Ferrari, and then his death in a prison riot, she found little else. He was busted for possession, assault and battery, evading arrest, and a gun charge. But it left her to wonder how the fuck had a guy like that afforded a Ferrari? Actually, she knew exactly how, from the money the Van Tessins paid him for his part in their evil plot which got Adam killed.

His social media accounts were marked private, and she didn’t bother sending a friend request to a dead man. Unfortunately, pun intended, with nothing but circumstantial evidence at best, Uriah was likely a dead lead.

But enough overall circumstantial evidence would be too much to fucking ignore. Someone in the prosecutors’ office would have to take notice if the marshals could be trusted to do their fucking job properly. Bu

    Leo wasn’t the only man Amberleigh checked on that night. She wanted to make sure the billionaire was keeping his promise and actually getting some fucking sleep as the night blended into dawn. It came as no surprise what Amber found when she stuck her head into the master suite.Going in Amber knew she risked catching Grayson masturbating or naked or something but that was a risk she was willing to take. Besides on the slim chance he was sleeping, knocking would have awaken him. She saw the outline of a man holding a glass of liquor in front of the fire. Two strikes against his ass within five seconds.She cleared her throat loudly as she fully entered his room uninvited. She startled him to the point a splash of brown liquid spilled onto his pristine marble floor. He did not look happy to see her.“You’re supposed to be sleeping Grayson and you sure as fuck shouldn’t be drinking.”He sighed, “You should be in bed. You’re growing a human being. You need your rest. I don’t need anothe

    When a man walked in on his girlfriend in bed with another man, anger and possibly even violence are the expected courses of action, not making breakfast in bed for them both. But that is exactly what happened when Amberleigh awoke to the smell of bacon and Leo’s smile. The chef stood at the edge of the bed with a tray in his hands. Amber looked around the room quickly, noticed her surroundings of war memorabilia, and her shirtless ex asleep on his stomach beside her, and then her heart dropped into her toes. She sat up quickly.“Good morning, Love.”“Leo, I didn’t sleep with him. I mean I did sleep with Grayson last night, but I didn’t fuck him. I was just trying to get him to go to sleep.”“I believe you. It’s fine. I thought you both could use some brunch. Its nearly 11 a.m.”“You’re not mad?”Amber wondered if Leo was just hiding being upset or if he believed her or if he really didn’t fucking care regardless. Not that she would take advantage of the situation either way and actua

    There was a way to bypass the STI screening inside the Cobra Club. After all the man who delivered the water or office supplies didn’t want their assholes swabbed without having a good time afterwards. But bypassing the screenings earned you a tamper proof security bracelet which only allowed you access to certain areas of the club. It worked as a tracker and would automatically lock certain doors you didn’t have access to, like the private suites. The Cobra Club didn’t fuck around when it came to the war on venereal disease.But Amberleigh didn’t want her movements tracked and she wanted access to all areas of the club. She intended to tell her friend the truth, well to a certain extent leaving out some details. For that, she’d need to drag Ebony's ass into the basement, if she agreed to hear her out in the first place. It was likely Ebony would slam the door in her face and tell Amber to “fuck off.”Ebony had confronted Amber when she tried to come to the club on the down low to get

    It was hard to surprise someone who worked in a high-class brothel for a living. From huge dicks on the last person you’d expect, tiny dicks on powerful men, to even some third nipples, and everything in between, they’d seen it all. But it was evident on Ebony’s perfect featured face. Her dark chocolate eyes wide, her sharp cheekbones drawn into her full lips slightly opened.“Shut the fuck up. Are you kidding me? Is this some sob story you prepared to make me forgive your ass?” she demanded.“No. I wish it was. But Leo and I flew home right away when we got the news. And Grayson’s cunt wife was fucking useless in getting the money together. It fell to Leo and me to pull together one billion dollars in just two fucking days without alerting the marshals or raising suspicions. See that’s why I couldn’t tell you anything when I came to the club that day Ebony, as the kidnappers were very fuckin’ clear on that. If anyone, especially the marshals were alerted, they’d kill Grayson.”Ebony

    While Ebony went back to her room to shower, Amberleigh took the opportunity to pay the club in the cashier’s office and then try to hunt down Nadia. She was ashamed to realize she didn’t even know where the Russian's room was. She knew little about the woman who she owed Grayson’s life. A debt Amber couldn’t ever repay. Why had Amber never tried to get to know her fellow Goddess before?It was possible that Nadia wanted it that way. To remain more like a mystery especially in her line of work of spying. At least that theory made Amber feel like less of an Uber bitch. Nadia had been at the club for like ten years, and during the five years Amber had lived there, how many times had she had an actual conversation with the woman? Not fucking many and zero about things that didn’t involve work. But would Nadia have spoken the truth if Amber had cared to ask?Nadia had told her candidly on that Christmas Eve the reason she opened up about the plot to kill Grayson was no child should have t

    Amberleigh made small talk with Head Goddess Unique for several more moments though neither of them mentioned the baby directly. She thought it’d be rude to jump right into asking about Nadia. So instead, Amber pretended to be interested in the party plans the club had in store for this New Year’s Eve which the boss lady was more than happy to gush about. Unique took pride in the club and her role here, having worked her way up from a college student working to finance her tuition as a Goddess when the club first opened twenty years ago, to a top position in management.Amber was glad Unique had achieved her goals both in the club and outside of it by earning her business degree. She had no shortage of company in her bed if she so chose and seemed happy and content with her life. While Amber no longer aspired to be like her, she was still proud of how far Unique had come from the fatherless child born in The Fringe, to the first to go to college in her family, and now helping to run t

    “Can we talk about something else now please? I’m a committed woman now anyway.”Amber held her hand up and flashed her friend her infinity promise ring Leo had given her atop the Eiffel Tower. It had been the most fucking romantic night of her life. Just thinking about it made her all warm and tingling and a sappy smile took over her face.Ebony cackled, “How’s that working out for you? You should be committed girl for not double dipping right now. You need your fucking head examined.”Ebony did partake in her wine. And she had so generously finished off the expensive bottle herself before she cut into her medium well steak and moaned liked she was just brought to orgasm. She’d ordered the most expensive things off the menu as Amber was paying. But it wasn’t like Amber couldn’t afford it now anyway.Amber sighed as she looked down at her well-done fillet. She preferred it with a pink center but that was a big fucking no no right now. She polished off her last piece. It still tasted g

    Amberleigh barely made it through the front door when she ran into Grayson with his hands on his hips in the foyer. The man was wearing a fucking blazer on a day his ass wasn’t even going to work for fuck sake. He was lucky he wasn’t wearing a tie or she might have strangled him with it. The billionaire was also lucky she was holding food.“Where the hell have you been? You’ve been gone for four hours! And you didn’t reply to my last text that I sent you an hour ago!”She breathed deep and set the takeout food on the stand near the door. This could get ugly and no reason to risk the steak.“Okay, you can put the brakes on your testosterone train and back the fuck up Grayson. I can manage on my own for a few hours without you. This alpha male overprotective bullshit needs to stop.”He scoffed, “Need I remind you it’s not exactly safe for any of us, especially you, to go on leisure strolls through the city right now Amber. I agreed to let you go the Cobra Club not…is that smoke I smell?

    Amberleigh's private chef had indeed made a spread worthy of a queen. Chocolate covered strawberries, a tantalizing fruit and cheese board, cucumber sandwiches, stuffed mushrooms, lamb kabobs, and that was just his starters. Dinner he kept a well guarded secret. Amber just hoped now he would be setting the table for three and Grayson would stay with them. He deserved to spend the holiday with those who loved him. As Amber and Grayson dug in, Leo pulled a box from beneath the counter and handed it to her. He gave her a kiss on the cheek. “Happy Birthday, Love.” “But I thought I already got my present babe,” she smiled. “Open it then. I’m sure you’ll like this one better.” Amber opened the black box to find a golden necklace inside. Dangling upon it was a pendent etched with an engraved image of the baby’s face from the last ultrasound. Well the last one Leo had been present for. Tears clouded her eyes. “Oh Leo, I love it!” Amber wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him clo

    It was a good thing Leo’s shower was so roomy, it easily fit three. Amberleigh had imagined this moment so many fucking times in her head. And she intended to make this reality so much fucking better than the fantasy which had long lived only in her imagination.She turned on the water, nearly scalding, and watched the steam fog up the glass. She ran a hand across the steamed up mirror. Her loyal servants, waited behind her, already hard, just awaiting their queen’s command.She grabbed two natural sponges from the basket on the counter and turned to them. Leo was on her left and Grayson on her right, close but their naked bodies not touching one another. While it would be hot and check another box of hers off altogether, she would not ask either of them to kiss or touch each other. She loved and respected them both enough to know Grayson wouldn’t like being with Leo in that way. If it happened naturally, then so be it. But there was nothing sexy or romantic about being forced.“Wash

    Amberleigh gave Grayson a moment to think over her proposal. To make his decision. The billionaire loosened his tie like it was choking him. Beside her Leo rolled onto his side and began to run a finger up and down Amber’s bare back. He was clearly ready to go another round. And so was she. But the question remained, would Grayson be joining them?“I don’t like Leo in that way. I’m straight,” he spoke finally.Amber smiled, “It’s not your job to pleasure him or each other. Unless of course you boys want too. But it’s both of your jobs to pleasure me. You don’t have to do anything you’re uncomfortable with.”Leo began to kiss her neck, “I’ll keep my hands to myself G-Man. Except of course when it comes to her.”He ran his tongue up the side of her neck. Amber shivered and awaited the billionaire’s decision. She wasn’t going to pressure him into anything he wasn’t ready for. Grayson took a deep breath.She bit her lip, “Or you can just watch if you would like. Feel free to join in if yo

    Amberleigh vowed Grayson to silence over the sex of their child. She wanted to figure out a cute way to reveal to Leo it was a munchkinette she was carrying. But she wasn’t about to go out and have one of those big gender reveal parties. Those things often ended in fails. While entertaining to fucking watch on viral videos, Amber didn’t intend to try some big display to reveal her child didn’t have a penis.Since Amber wasn’t quite ready to reveal it to her father yet either, it gave her and Grayson no real chance to talk about it. Giovanni had appeared in the basement soon after the ultrasound had ended. She would have to catch Grayson in the panic room at some point to discuss his feelings over having a daughter.Amber was still trying to take it in. She wanted baby girl to only get the best parts of herself and Grayson. And she sure as fuck didn’t want her daughter treated like a pretty, dress up doll. Her baby would be afforded all the same opportunities a boy born to Grayson God

    Giovanni opened the rear door instead.“Ladies first,” said Grayson.They loaded into the vehicle and made the trek to the wrong side of the tracks. On the ride, Giovanni and Amber chatted about the baby and her intentions to graduate high school. Her father told her he was proud of her and again suggested Giovanni as a great name for his grandchild. He also got the usually introverted billionaire to join in the conversation and get Amber riled up over suggesting naming their child Adam Milton or Agatha Louise. No fucking way was that going to happen to her baby.Doc personally let them in the backdoor. After pleasant greetings, Amber couldn’t help but tease a bit.“I thought you had people for this doc.”He smiled, “My usual doorman now has a girlfriend. One of which he won’t be seeing outside of school hours for a while if he’s not home in the next twenty minutes.”Donny was a good kid. He would likely be home by curfew. Amber wouldn’t mind getting the chance to say hello to him ton

    Giovanni Costa, AKA Amberleigh's father, didn’t let her down. His reply was swift, I’m on my way figila. I can be there in twenty minutes. Now all that was left to do was to try and control the bleeding in Grayson’s arm and wait.Thankfully, his selfish and useless wife had retreated to her room still crying about her bloody clothes. No doubt she’d seek out poor Helga and have the woman try and scrub the stains out. Just when Amber had assumed she couldn’t hate Courtney Van Cunt more, the evil woman had outdone herself. She really was the ice queen with no heart nestled beneath her fake tits.Amber only left Grayson’s side long enough to wash her hands and then collect a few things. While she completed that task, she tried not to dwell on a troubling thought. The bathroom floor had been dry indicating Grayson hadn’t made it into the shower yet. He hadn’t slipped on water on the floor. The rug was an anti-slip rug, so it was possible he had actually displaced it while he was falling an

    Amberleigh decided to eat her feelings so she dug that half gallon of moose tracks ice cream from the freezer and grabbed a spoon. She planted herself at the island counter and debated checking in with Leo. She hadn’t heard from him in a while but didn’t want to come off as one of those suffocating fiancée. But Leo probably would have communicated by now if blood had been shed or he needed bailed out of jail.Before she knew it, Amber had eaten half the fucking container of ice cream as she thought about the life choices which had brought her here. She also mulled over the future and co-parenting with a man who had a lot of anger and unspoken resentment towards her.She understood where Grayson was coming from. He was hurt and angry over a ton of shit he’d just let bottle up rather than ever deal with. The murder of his brother, which he hadn’t really ever got over Adam’s death to began with. His disease, like staring down the barrel of a gun he couldn’t escape from. And seeing Amber

    Life was good despite all the darkness they were facing. Amberleigh was trying to bask in the good moments, even when they seemed few and far between. She used them to carry her through the dark ones. And there were dark times a plenty as Grayson struggled with his anger and depression. As they were all forced to coexist with a murderous cunt. As Amber’s hormones were fucked and she found herself extra sensitive. Even sappy commercials often made her cry.She had much to be thankful for though. Like her pregnancy progressing well, reaching her fifteenth week with no complications, and finally not having to pee every fucking five minutes! And most of all Leo. That man was a fucking godsend. Leo would kiss her belly every night and sing to the baby. Amber was glad that it was unlikely the baby could hear yet, but she didn’t tell Leo that. She found his new nightly ritual sweet.But Amber shouldn’t have expected anything less from him. Leo put his whole heart into the things he cared abo

    Amberleigh and Leo came up with a plan to keep Grayson’s ass out of the bars in the bad part of town and home every night by sundown. They simply started showing up at Godwin HQ every work day around five p.m. They’d hang in Grayson’s office until he decided to leave and personally escort him back to the penthouse. Amber usually annoyed the fuck out of the billionaire to the point they were in the car by seven at the latest.Leo often took the opportunity to read a book or look up new recipes to try at home. While Amber napped on the couch in G-Man’s posh office, or watched videos on the net, or raided the employee break room for snacks. It was usually her laughing at funny videos or chewing loudly which got Grayson to throw the towel in for the day and head home. He sure as fuck wasn’t happy about it.He even tried to get the pair of them banned from the building. That laughable attempt got Leo to call up Viola. She came on down to the office and scolded her son in person. She sided
