  TheaOf course, saying that I lost my savings isn't quite the real story, but I'm not ready to think about that right now. I sure as heck didn't misplace them, at least not without help.“I'm glad it's working out for you.” For the first time ever, I detect a hint of jealousy in Bella’s words, and I'm stunned. She's jealous that I managed to make it work with Blake and Azura?I guess the job does pay really, really well and maybe she's looking for a way out right now because I know she's going through the ringer with James. The man really does bring her to her knees and puts her in her worst mental well-being headspace.“Anyway, I should probably let you go. Azura is going to wake up soon. Love you! Bye.”She responds in kind, but with much less warmth and excitement and my heart sinks. I can't help but feel that maybe she's not as happy for me as she claims to be. That thought breaks my heart. I've never wanted anything but the best for her. And I have no doubt that she wants the bes

  TheaIt's first thing in the morning and I already can tell something is off with Blake.I can't for the life of me figure out what he could possibly be upset about. I’ve been doing my job and doing it well, and everything's going great with Azura. Maybe there's something personal going on that he hasn't discussed with me yet?Strangely enough, I can't help but feel worried about him.“Do you work today?” Even though he keeps his schedule handy so I can check it out and have an idea what's going on for the day, I still like to ask first thing in the morning when he's home because sometimes his schedule is variable and changes at the last minute. This just gives me an idea of how to manage mine and Azura’s days.He shakes his head as he sips his morning coffee and continues staring at his phone as we sit opposite one another at the high-end, sleek black table. His actions make me want to get out my own phone and do the same, but I decide to engage instead.“I was thinking that today ma

  BlakeI remember seeing her as I'd walked in, a pretty blonde behind the counter. “I think I saw her, the one at the front, right?”Rico nods. “That's the one. Well, he's been harassing her. Not overtly. It's not anything he's saying. He's just spending a lot of time up there talking to her and preventing her from working. Everyone else that works up there is getting annoyed, but she hasn't given the green light for the bouncer to deal with him yet.”“Maybe she's taking a shine to him.” That might not be a bad thing.A good woman could probably help Hunter turn his life around - not that that's any woman's job, of course, but it's not like the man's going to consider therapy. If somebody actually puts him in his place, he might decide to step up and do better and be better.“That's what I was thinking, but that makes me feel worse, not better.” Rico guides me around a couch with three people in various stages of undress pleasuring one another. “We both know how he can be.”Isn't that

  BlakeI'm lying in bed and look up to see Thea in my doorway. Confused, I ask, "Is there something you need?"She offers a seductive smile. "Yes... you." With that, she walks toward my bed, sliding the tie out of her long, dark, wavy locks and shaking them out before beginning to unbutton her blouse. Stunned, I sit up, well aware I'm in nothing more than a sheet and she's causing a reaction."W-What are you doing?" I ask, knowing very well what she's doing.Perhaps I should be asking why she'd risk everything by being so inappropriate.In all honesty, I don't want her to stop.She doesn't respond but keeps those dark blue eyes locked on me as her fingers move from one button to the next. I can't help but watch, seeing glances of her creamy skin peeking from the lapels of her shirt. When she's finished with the last button, she slips out of the silky material and drops it with a whisper of sound to the hardwood floor. The only thing she's wearing is a black lace bra that contrasts star

  Thea I'm at a loss. I don't know what to do next or how to handle this situation. Add to the fact that my brain, heart and body can't seem to agree on whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, and I'm completely frozen and unsure what to do now.“Thank you for that,” I say as Azura hurries off to go meet the chickens. I follow her, noticing Blake keeping step with me.“Nothing to thank me for.” He doesn't seem to think he's done anything, but oh my goodness, is he wrong.When the day finally comes to a close and Azura is winding down from her exciting day at home, I glance at Blake and ask point blank, “Do you want me to stay tonight or am I going home?”This has become the way that I pressure him to tell me the plan. It’s also the way I've been told for the last three nights to stay. I've already told him that being all live-in is highly inconvenient for me and he shot right back that Azura goes to bed much better when I'm the one that handles her bedtime ritual; plus, she wakes

  Thea“I’m just having a good time with you, you know, just the two of us.” She seems a bit flustered, as if she's having difficulty articulating what she's feeling, but I'm not about to judge her emotional state.“I'm having a good time with you too.” As I say the words, she lights up and does a tiny little dance with her shoulders and I recognize her need for validation and to hear that her company is enjoyable.“Azura!”We both turn as Blake walks up, his arms wide open and ready for her.“Just remember, your father loves you, even if he's not good at showing it.” I say the words as a gentle push, and Azura nods her head before walking over to her father and giving him a hug. He presses a kiss to the top of her head, hugging her tight, before nodding at me in a gesture of thanks. All at once, I realize he knows that I'm the reason she came over to hug him.That thought both irks me and leaves me feeling kind of warm. I don't like the thought that he is positioning me to get what he
