All Chapters of In The Dark: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

It was finally Wednesday afternoon and my stomach was in knots. I was dying, positively dying to see Chris again. I was desperate for his smell, his touch, and I hoped for a sleepover. My morning class was cancelled so I could definitely make the time ... for some quality time. We were having dinner with the same client I met the first time, and I was hopeful that the little miss full of herself would be absent. I visited the salon, and got a cute little red dress with black red bottomed stilettos I was sure to fall in. Chris loved my hair down, so I had it styled in big waves. I hadn’t eaten since breakfast since I was so nervous. I wanted to ask Chris about his path to becoming partner and how it was going, but I hadn’t so far spoken much to him about his work at all. It might sound too weird I decided. I just wanted to know him, I didn't want it to just be sex. I desperately wanted to know if he felt the

I quickly showered and got dressed. I ordered an Uber to take me to campus, not wanting to walk after a night in heels. I grabbed my checkbook and took off. I made it with 13 minutes to spare. I showed the clerk my badge and let her know I wanted to make a payment. My dad had been sending one or two checks a month to help since I lost most of my grant but I had no clue where I was at with my balance. I was just still working on this semester, then I would have the summer to work on saving for next year. It seemed daunting and impossible but I had to be hopeful. “Could I get my statement to see my recent payments and balance, please?” She looked annoyed that I would be asking for this at closing time on a Friday but she printed it off anyhow. I saw where my dad had been sending payments and my heart fluttered. I loved dad so much. I also saw where I had made a few small payments bef

I gaped at the interior of the jet, it was just as luxurious and breathtaking as his home. I was dying to ask where we were going and I hoped it wasn’t too far but then again if we were going to a yacht it would have to be somewhere warm. I sat down and buckled myself while Wyatt spoke to the pilot. “No, no darling, you’re with me,” he said, holding out his hand. There was a love seat looking row on the side and he sat down, twirling me into his lap, it took me by surprise and I giggled. "Now I have my in-flight entertainment," he said beaming. I fake grinned, but internally freaked out.What the hell did that mean!This wasn't normal, they're not supposed to have the expectation of getting laid. I don't care if other girls gave into him, I wasn't doing it! A stewardess immediately came with some glasses of champagne and we each took one. 

What a week this was, my head was all over the place! Every time I started thinking about walking away from Haven, something happened to calm me down and make me think I could keep going. The next couple weeks flew away, with more great dates and some I could have done without. Wyatt didn't request me again and I was relieved. I did see Martin twice but I didn't go home with him. I blocked off the two days before the ski trip to get my head together, finish a paper and project. Martin asked if I would stay over with him the night before we left since the flight was early. Why not, hell we were going to be sharing a cabin for a week. I just knew I would end up shagging Martin on this trip, it was inevitable. I made a mall run and hit a lingerie shop. Also got two pairs of decent pajamas, suitable for others to see. I did as Martin recommended and got another suitcase to take empty.I slept over at Martin's the night before th

Just as I started thinking about hollowing out some time to visit my family, I got a text from Haven asking if I could come in and see her today. I immediately got nervous that maybe someone had complained about me. I told her I would be there soon. I threw on some leggings and a hoodie and ran out the door, a bit nervous. She had a bunch of people in her office when I arrived but she cleared them out immediately and had me come in. "Is everything okay," I asked. She said, "yes! Oh yes, oh no sweetie did you think you were in trouble or something?" I said, "well I'm not sure, you haven't really ever asked to see me before." "Well that's true, you've done very well and I wanted to let you know we are going to move you to the next level of commission so you should be seeing a bump in your pay effective immediately." I grinned like an idiot, positively ecstatic. "That's wonderful, re
