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

  • The Stranger In My Bed   The Real One

    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

  • The Stranger In My Bed   Vision

    Thank god for all that wine I drank or I don't think I would have been able to sleep at all. It was light out when I finally woke up, but I couldn’t seem to make myself leave my bed. What happened with Victor last night was still stuck on a loop in my brain. I’d hurt him, and I’d hurt him badly.I sighed and covered my head with the pillow. I knew "Victor" wouldn't be here today, but I still couldn't stand to see Mr. Weston's face right now. I knew it would just make those painful memories even stronger.Besides, here today or not, it's not like he was gone forever. Victor would return eventually, and then what would I do? How could I face him again after everything that had happened last night? More importantly, what would I say to him? I already had a good idea of the things he’d bring up the next time he was here. The biggest be

  • The Stranger In My Bed   Emotions

    An individual. A singular person. Who just happened to share his body with about a dozen other “individuals.” I crossed my arms and sighed. How the hell was I going to make this work?"Ms. Walton, stand slightly to the left of center for me please.""Huh?" I barely registered his words as they broke me from my thoughts.He frowned. "Ms. Walton, please. We're wasting time here. Please move to the left of the center so I can line up this shot properly.”Blunt, to-the-point Arthur. I stood and moved to where he was motioning. He waved his hand until I reached the "correct" position. Once I did, he started snapping photos.I tried to stay focused on the task at hand, but it was a little hard to do. I

  • The Stranger In My Bed   Backup

    I sat there for a minute, trying to think of the safest way to phrase everything. I could tell Arthur was trying his best to be patient with me, but the way he shifted around behind the camera told me that patience was quickly running out. I sighed, trying to choose my words carefully."Well... 'a friend' of mine recently met a guy," I started slowly. He watched me intently through the camera. "He's really amazing. He’s intelligent, thoughtful, understanding, sweet. He’s pretty much everything she’s ever wanted in a man.The problem is he’s… sick. He’s very sick. In fact, there’s a good chance that he’s probably never going to recover. She knew this about him long before they started any kind of relationship, but that doesn’t mean it makes the situation any easier on her."

  • The Stranger In My Bed   Reactions

    Alright, I realized where I’d screwed up now. I just needed to find a way to show Victor that I understood.Which was the impossible part. He was already convinced that Jack was the only one of them I really cared about, and I’m sure that mindset would only get worse once I actually told Jack about Victor. It’s not like I could avoid telling him though. Even Arthur admitted I had to at least inform Jack about what was going on.I doubt Victor would believe that’s all I did though. Even if he did forgive me, there’d always be that doubt at the back of his mind. That little voice that said I was lying to protect his feelings and Jack was still my numb

    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

  • The Stranger In My Bed   Puppy Love

    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
