051. DESMOND'S POV

Can a business related emergency make her leave her house by this time to meet me at the park? I sigh. Fuck it, there's only one way to find out. I call the first time. It rings but goes unanswered. I try again, and on the third ring she picks. "Are you home?"

Her voice is low and drowsy when she answers the call. "Huh... who's this"

"Desmond Smith. Your boss." I tune my voice to sound as authoritative as possible.

"Holy crap." Her voice comes alive immediately, like she's finally woken from sleep.

"There's been some issues with Moore's payment." The line rolls out perfectly. I have no idea why I'm doing this.

"Shit!"

"Can you meet me at the park in 20."

"It's night." She whines in protests.

"It's a work emergency." I counter.

"Expect me in 20." She says, mumbling something inaudibly before hanging up."

I sit in the park alone for the next twenty minutes, staring at the skies and thinking of all the impossible decisions I've made. This one tops it I know how mad Mo

  • In Bed With My Step-uncle    254 - Engagement Ceremony

    Today was my engagement day. I should feel happy, but I didn't. I stared at my reflection in the mirror. My tousled black hair was gelled lightly to perfection, my shirt clung tightly to my skin, and my tie felt like a rope around my neck. My mom wanted everything perfect, she said this day would bring pride to the family. I didn’t feel proud, I felt trapped.The stylist stood behind me, fixing my collar. "You look great, sir," she said with a small smile.I nodded, even though I didn't really care. I kept thinking of the club and Xander. I knew we would never meet again, but still my body craved for him and I guessed that scared me more than I could possibly imagine.Grudgingly, I stepped out of the room. The house smelt of flowers and the garden was already set. There were gold ribbons everywhere, and fairy lights hung from the trees. Waiters walked past, carrying trays of champagne and sweets.My mom spotted me from across the room. "Elias! Finally!" she said, walking towards me, a

  • In Bed With My Step-uncle    253 - The Dance.

    I couldn't believe what had just happened.Priss had somehow gotten under my skin. His eyes, the way he moved... I tried to shake the feeling off, but it wouldn’t go away. It didn’t make sense. I wasn’t supposed to feel this way about a man. It was... wrong, right?I ran my hand through my perfectly tousled black hair, trying to clear my head. I couldn’t sit there, staring at the stage, I couldn’t be thinking about him. I called the manager over, I needed to distract myself."Get me a girl," I told him, trying to sound like my usual self, but my voice came out weak. "A pretty ass and bring her to the VIP."He nodded and walked off, leaving me sitting there, frustrated with my own thoughts.A few minutes later, a girl walked into the VIP section. She was a short girl with electric-blue hair, full kissable lips and perfect fit, yet nothing about her turned me on. Even when she smiled flirtatiously at me I felt rather disgusted. Damnit, what the hell was wrong with me?Pulling her closer

  • In Bed With My Step-uncle    The End.

    Naomi The next day, Micah and I went to his parents’ house. I had hoped, maybe prayed, that things would change. Maybe his mother would finally accept me, even though I was divorced. But deep down, I knew it wouldn’t be easy.We walked into their home, and as usual, his mother was already there, sitting in the living room, her eyes had a dark glint in them, and were filled with judgement. His father was sitting next to her, a much softer man, but I could tell the tension in the room. His mother had her arms crossed tightly over her chest.I knew what was coming. Micah sat down beside me, and I tried to breathe through the nerves. "We need to talk," he said, his voice calm but serious.His mother raised an eyebrow, but she didn’t say anything. Micah looked at her directly. "Mom, I love Naomi. We’ve been through so much together, and I’m asking for your support."His mother’s eyes flicked to me for a moment before she turned back to Micah. "I don’t approve, Naomi is divorced, Micah. Sh

  • In Bed With My Step-uncle    250- Rose Visit.

    Naomi The next few days went by quickly. Micah and I barely even spoke, we were both so lost in our thoughts. I could tell Micah was trying hard not to let his guard down. He'd been through alot, likewise me, but now, we both knew Dawson wasn't just going to walk away, especially without a fight and we were ready to fight, or were we? I couldn't help the doubts that creeped in, each time I thought of this subject. Dawson was dangerous, sure, but he was also deadly, especially when he had everything all planned out, plus he had kidnapped me once, he could surely do it a second time."Are you okay?" Micah asked softly, as he came up behind me, his arms wrapped firmly around my waist. I shivered, feeling that instant electric current I always felt each time he touched me."I don't know, really." I said, after a minute of silence. "Dawson's dangerous, what if he tries something crazy." I mumbled, now turning to face Micah. His eyes were filled with so much warmth and love, as he pulled m

  • In Bed With My Step-uncle    249- A call from Rose.

    The days felt like they were dragging on. I could see how much stress Micah was under, and honestly, it was starting to wear me down, too. The constant worry, the fear of losing everything, I could feel it all building up, but we still had to keep fighting.It was late one evening when my phone rang. I was sitting on the couch, next to Micah, both of us lost in our own thoughts. We had just finished talking to the lawyer again, and things were looking even worse than before. The weight of everything seemed too heavy to carry.I picked up the phone without even checking the caller ID. It was a habit, but when I heard the voice on the other end, I smiled a little."Naomi? It’s Rose!" her voice was cheerful, but I could tell something was off. There was a slight edge to it, like she knew something was wrong."Hey, Rose! How are you?" I asked, trying to sound normal."I’m good, just checking in on you guys," she said, her tone shifting as she spoke. "I haven’t heard from you in a few days
