Maybe it was because I’d gotten so used to sleeping next to him or maybe it was because I went to bed early last night, but either way, I woke up very early the next morning. The sun had risen just enough to give some faint light to my room. I thought about trying to sleep for a few more hours, but I knew it was pointless. I was already awake. Might as well get the day started.

I sighed and threw off the blankets. I shivered slightly in the cool morning air. The room was silent, empty. Despite this room being smaller than Mr. Weston's, it somehow felt twice as big. The walk to the dresser seemed to take an eternity.

As I dug through it, I thought I heard a faint ringing in the distance. I paused. What was that? A phone? Not possible. The only phone in the mansion was the emergency phone, and it only made calls. It didn't receive them. A doorbell? No. In a

  • The Stranger In My Bed   A Very Good Morning

    My mind was a flurry of incoherent panic. What the hell was Victor thinking?! Even he had to know it would be bad if Thomas caught us together like this."You'd better say something, Anna, or he'll find us," Victor teased, increasing the speed of his thrusts.I wanted to punch him more than anything right now, but he was right. I needed to focus on getting rid of Thomas. I doubted that he’d just come barging in on me, but if I kept quiet too long, it might make him worry enough to check up on me."Ms. Walton?"Sure enough, his voice sounded a little more concerned than the first time he called me. Not-so-surprisingly, I was having a little trouble concentrating on what to s

  • The Stranger In My Bed   Tension

    I know Victor told me to head downstairs before him, but I was a little surprised he wasn’t already waiting for me by the time I got dressed. After all, he just said he had to clean up, right? How long would that really take? A slight blush filled my cheeks as I thought back to that day I walked in on him in the bath. If that was the case, then he might be a while. The ache between my legs seemed to triple at this thought.I shook away the memory and continued downstairs. Thomas had almost finished his breakfast by then. He smiled and stood as he saw me."Ms. Walton, let me be the first to congratulate you," he said cheerfully."Congratulate me? For what?"

  • The Stranger In My Bed   Conflicted

    I couldn’t stop thinking about Thomas. Something was definitely bothering him, and it wasn’t just the fact that Victor was back. Whatever it was, I wanted to know about it. I wasn’t sure if I’d really be able to do anything to help, but I at least wanted to try.I pushed myself away from the table and stood up. Victor looked at me, concerned. I gave him a reassuring smile."Will you be okay by yourself for a while?" I asked. "I just want to check in with Thomas, see if there are any last things he needs to tell me about the house."He rolled his eyes. "I'm a grown man. I'll be fine by myself for an hour or two. I'll watch a movie or something.""Where is that by

    Jack. How could I have not realized it before? That’s what was at the back of my mind all day. That’s what kept making me feel like I was doing something wrong.I’d gotten so swept up in this relationship with Victor that I never once stopped to think about how Jack might feel about this whole thing. Would he really be okay with this? Me having a relationship with one of his personas?And what exactly was I going to do if he wasn’t? Break up with Victor? I couldn’t do that to him. I couldn’t hurt him like that. More than that,

  • The Stranger In My Bed   Childlike

    I wasn’t just trying to distract him when I suggested walking in the garden. I really did want to see it with him. As much time as I’d spent in the garden the first few days, that's how little I’d spent in it these last few.Not that it really mattered. It’s not like much had changed. I could barely even tell that the gardeners had been here, but I guess that was the point. Maintain it, not change it.Besides, it’s not like I really wanted it to change either. The way the flowers swayed and danced in the wind’s gentle breeze, the sweet scent of roses surrounding us, the warmth of the afternoon sun as it started to slowly dip lower in the sky. It rem

  • The Stranger In My Bed   Building Bridges

    Thomas waited for us near the entrance. He didn’t even seem surprised to see me holding hands with Victor anymore. I guess he decided to accept that whatever I was doing was working and leave it at that. He smiled and gestured for us to lead the way into the dining room. The table was already filled with food."While the garden is beautiful, I’d suggest being mindful of the time you spend out there. Especially when it’s close to mealtimes. After all, we don't want poor Philip shouting to an empty house," he chuckled.I smiled sheepishly. "Sorry. My bad.”Thomas waved off the apology and motioned for us to sit. Dinner between them was just as silent as the other meals, but the heaviness in the air had almost completely disappeared. Now, it was more like they didn’t have anything to say,

  • The Stranger In My Bed   Call My Name

    It was just me and Victor now. He didn’t speak but I could still see the faint traces of blush on his cheeks. He stared at his glass a moment before gulping down what was left of it. I couldn't help but smile at his obvious embarrassment."That really meant a lot to him, I'm sure," I said gently.Victor grunted vaguely and poured himself another glass. Although I’m sure some of the redness on his cheeks was from embarrassment, I think part of it was from the wine as well. He more slouched against the back of his chair than he did lean against it. He stared into the fireplace, but it looked like he wasn’t really focusing on anything. His glass tilted slightly in his hand as he held it.I guess we had been dr

    Victor rolled over, pinning me to the bed with his body. His lips sought my neck eagerly. The feeling sent tingles across my skin and down between my legs. A small moan forced its way from my throat. I gasped and shook my head, trying to clear it."Victor, stop. Let me up," I begged, pushing him weakly.He pulled away from my neck and smiled down at me. The lust in his eyes made me shiver. My mouth couldn’t form words, my body was paralyzed, I was completely at his mercy. And he knew it too. He chuckled a bit and tucked my hair behind my ear gently."That's enough talking for one night," he murmured, pressing his lips to mine.I could have thrown him off. I should have thrown him

    Silence filled the air again. We sat there for a while watching the flames crackle in the fireplace. I wasn’t sure how long we stayed like that. However, I did start to notice as his hand loosened and slowly began to slip from my side. As I glanced over, I noticed his glass beginning to tip dangerously in his hand. I gasped, catching it right before it fell."Jack!" I cried, checking to make sure it didn't spill.He jumped as if I'd startled him. I glanced over, he looked confused. Had he fallen asleep? I snickered and set his glass on the table."I think it might be time for bed,” I suggested"No, no. I was just resting my eyes," he grumbled sleepily."Well, then let's rest them in bed," I insisted, standing. I t

    I think I finally understood how Arthur felt when I forced him to eat. I shoved down bite after bite, wondering how many I'd have to eat to safely be considered “done.” After a minute, I set my fork down, watching Jack out of the corner of my eye to see how he’d react. When I didn’t see any noticeable changes I finally pushed my plate away."What do you think? Should we head to bed now?" I asked, wiping my mouth."Absolutely not!" He cried indignantly. “I only have a few precious hours left with you and you already know the chances of me waking up as myself again are slim. The last thing I'm going to do is waste one second we have together sleeping."He reached over and grabbed my hand, bringing it to his lips. He pressed my palm to his cheek. His eyes held a tinge of sadness as he look

    Despite his insistence that we should get out of the bath, Jack still clung to me like a lovestruck schoolboy. His hands always seemed to be on me in one way or another. Drying me with a towel, playing with my hair, holding my hand. A series of small, sweet gestures that never failed to make my heart flutter. Sadly, I wasn’t able to enjoy the feeling for long. A horrifying revelation suddenly came to me. I gasped and immediately grabbed my clothes off the floor, scrambling to get dressed. He watched me, confused. "Is something wrong?" "I forgot to meet the cleaners," I said, exasperated. "I’m already super late. I have to go. I'll meet you downstairs for dinner." I rushed out

    Tell him what I did with Victor? I could feel myself blushing just thinking about it. Don’t get me wrong, I could understand why Jack wanted to know, but that still didn’t make me any more comfortable with the idea. I shook my head, setting my wine glass on the edge of the bath.He sighed softly. “I understand. As I said, I certainly won’t force you to tell me anything.”I could feel my body starting to relax as he said this. At least, until his teeth grazed against my neck. I shivered a bit at the feeling. He pressed a couple more soft kisses to it.“However,” he teased, “I don’t necessarily

  • The Stranger In My Bed   A Nice Bath

    My heart was still racing, as he closed the door behind us. However, I didn’t have much time to dwell on this. He didn’t waste another second before he pulled me close and pressed his lips to mine.Kissing Jack always made me feel dizzy. Like my body was losing all its strength. I had to lean against him to support myself. As he pulled away he kept my body close so I wouldn't collapse. His fingers played with my hair."You know what sounds good after walking around in that hot sun all afternoon? A nice, relaxing bath,” he commented.My mind was still hazy from his kiss. I barely even registered what he was saying. It was like my brain auto-piloted right back into my caretaker role."Should I draw one for you, Sir?" I asked.

  • The Stranger In My Bed   Racing

    I saw a couple of the housekeepers scurrying around as we came back. They didn’t even seem to notice us as we walked past them. I guess I could understand why they acted that way though. After all, they were here to clean, not look after us. That was my job.The cleaners might not have been the best companions, but something about just knowing they were around made the house feel a little more lively. I wondered how lonely it would feel tomorrow. Just the two of us.Although considering his earlier request, I might not mind having some privacy tomorrow. I blushed a bit as I remembered the husky tone of his voice.As if he could read my mind, he suddenly leaned in and kissed me. I pulled away nervously. My face felt hot."Mr. Weston, the cleaners!" I reminded

  • The Stranger In My Bed   The Basics

    As always, the garden looked beautiful. It was just too bad that I couldn't enjoy it. I hated my mind. The moment we stepped outside the dream I had last night popped back into my head.I didn't want to feel anxious in the garden. I loved the garden. It was the place where Victor and I had walked before, where Arthur and I took photos, where Jack and I first met.Yet as I looked around, all I could remember were the hundreds and hundreds of agonized faces that had surrounded me. All of them crying out, begging me to choose them. I almost shuddered just thinking of it. Would I ever feel comfortable here again?"Are you alright, Anna?" Jack asked suddenly.I sighed. I felt like I was getting that question a lot lately. How did I somehow manage to make

    I felt the warmth of his body as it pressed against mine. His fingers kept inching closer and closer towards my aching clit. My mind was a mess. Fulfill his request? For my body?My stomach was a flutter of nerves at the idea, but I wasn’t sure why. After all, hadn’t we done this all before? I'd already seen his body, and we’d definitely done more than just some light petting by now. So why did I feel so nervous about doing it again?It was stupid to ask that question. I already knew the answer. It was because this would be my first real time doing something like this with Jack.Different men in the same body. I understood that now better than ever. Jack wasn’t Victor, and Victor wasn’t Jack. The way they spoke to me, the way they teased me, the way they touched my body. The

    I said before that I liked how kind and gentle Jack was, but there was another thing I really liked about him. His patience. I was taking a long time to answer, I knew I was, but he never once tried to rush me. He just stood there, patiently waiting for me to respond.I swallowed a few times, trying to clear the lump from my throat. I took a shaky breath and finally forced the words out of my mouth."Not yet.”"Alright, good. And do you feel the same way about the others?" He asked. I nodded. "Then that's all there is to it.Anna, I said I wasn’t going to make you choose between us and I meant it. Your relationships are your relationships. It wouldn’t be f
