During the day I'm doing things with the boys, so I decided to write at night. But my youngest had different idea and he keeps waking up every hour. This has been like that for the last few days. Every hour he wakes up screaming and in pain, but he's half asleep so i can't ask him where or what to do. he says it's his legs. sometimes his throat. I think it's growing pains, but I am so damn tired. I even let him sleep in our bed, just so i didn't have to get out every few hours, but he still woke up several times. I've given him painkillers, rubbed his legs, giving him honey... I hope this passes soon, for him and me! And yes, his dad helps, but he's a mommy's boy and only wants me.
Ripley’s povGod, had I missed Cas. I had missed this feeling.I let go of everything, only focusing on his mouth, which was masterfully licking and sucking on my core.Soon I felt my orgasm start to build; my body tensed and then began to tremble as I came undone. But the strangest thing happened when I did. It wasn’t like a dam broke, and as soon as the euphoric feeling of my orgasm passed, tears started to flow, and I began to sob uncontrollably.Cas immediately pulled me off him and hugged me close. I tried to scold for using his arms and stomach to lift me off him, but I couldn’t talk. All I could do was cry.“Fuck, Ley. Tell me, what did I do wrong?” Cas asked, concerned, and I shook my head as I sobbed against his chest.This was what Oprah called ugly crying. There was snot, tears, damn hiccups, and whimpers. I had not cried like this in a very long time.Cas held me, touching my back with his large hand up and down, while he gave me kisses on top of my head. When I finally cal
Cas’ pov“And now, breaking news.” The news anchor said.It had been a struggle to watch the news, because Ripley said that wasn’t relaxing. She had dragged our matrass to the living room, got a bunch of pillows from god knows where, and placed them everywhere.How many pillows does this woman have? It’s fucking insane, but it’s also cute as fuck. She made a nest or something out of the bed. Pillows everywhere, and she tucked me in with a very soft and fluffy blanket. She tucked me in! Like I was a fucking child, yet I loved it.Then, she made me breakfast in bed, and when I complained about the crumbs in our bed, she said she’d change the sheets before we’d go to bed at night. River and Rose joined me in bed for a bit before they got dressed and started to play.I couldn’t get dressed, though. Ripley had been fucking strict about me staying in my pajamas. I don’t even own pajamas. So it was basically sweatpants and a shirt, but fine. It was more comfortable than the rest of my clothes
Ripley’s povHow horny can one person be? I mean, I get it; he’s been in the hospital, and now I’m telling him he has to wait, but damn... It's like he has sex on his brain all the time!Even after the news segment that shocked me to the core. Okay, maybe not that much, but it was a big surprise. But even after the news that Kennedy has helped imprison her father and we’re almost out of this mess, he still can only think about sex.It’s going to be intense when he is fully healed, though. I’m almost scared of what he has planned, but excited at the same time.Not as excited as he is, though... That’s on another level entirely.I had gone to the kitchen to calm my thoughts and prepare lunch for my little monster and my big, sex obsessed monster when I heard Cas’ phone ring again.His dad would not let this go. And it was fully understandable that he would be pissed. He was blindsided by this news. I mean, we were blindsided, but at least we knew there was a possibility that Kennedy wou
Ripley’s pov To be clear, it wasn’t my choice to move here. I mean, of course, it’s a nice city. But that’s not why I moved to this city. A city I know nothing about, a city where I get lost all the damn time because every building looks the same to me. Maybe it’s because I’m bad at directions; I get out of a store, and I immediately forget if I came from the left side of the street or the right. Or maybe because I’m from a small town and I’m not used to skyscrapers and shopping malls everywhere. It’s a beautiful city, though, and it’s nice to be somewhere where nobody knows who you are or where you came from. But no, I didn’t come to this great and wonderful city for a specific dream or reason, other than the fact that it’s the farthest away I can legally move from my former parents in-law. “Ripley?” The kind lady across from me said. Her black hair was in a top knot, and she looked about forty, but I have always been bad at guessing someone’s age. “So, why did you move here?” O
Ripley’s pov Dropping the girls off at daycare went surprisingly better than suspected. Maybe it was all the toys, or maybe they weren’t fully awake yet. I know, I am not. This job starts early, and I could barely sleep last night. Although this job was good news—a chance at a new start for me and the girls—I was still really nervous. All night, I prepared for every possibility in my head. It was something that I had always done, but it became worse once I had kids. Every scenario and every thing that could possibly go wrong had entered my mind. I had countless conversations with people that didn’t even exist. Conversations about my girls, my late husband, and my life in general. Things that would probably not even come up. Yet, I had practiced every response to every stupid question I could think of. I yawned behind my hand as I walked towards Allison. I had already gotten dressed in the uniform she had laid out for me. It wasn’t a classic black-and-white uniform like in the mov
Cas’ pov Married? Yeah, right. That woman looked barely older than twenty. And she had been eyeing me all fucking day. No way she was married. She was a handful, though. It had been a while since someone had spoken to me the way she did. Normally, I would have made sure she was fired on the spot, but she intrigued me. There wasn’t really anything special about her. She didn’t have big boobs or a great body. Her ass looked all right when she was picking up the trash, but other than that, the cleaner was pretty basic. Short brown hair, while I preferred long blonds. Brown eyes and little to no make-up on. Her hair was all over the place, like she didn’t give a fuck how she looked. Maybe that’s why she intrigued me. Because she didn’t care. Every woman and man cares who I am. I am Cassius fucking Hemming, the richest man in town. The guy who owns most of the buildings in this damn city. It’s hard to tell who actually wants to get to know me or who wants my money. That’s why I usua
Ripley’s pov“Heather will be training you this morning because Mr. Hemming has requested your services today.” Allison told me, first thing when I arrived.She looked so proud, while I felt mortified. It was my second day, and I knew that there was no way in hell that Mr. Hemming had good intentions in asking me to work in his room.That man had only shown arrogance and irritation around me. Besides, I was nobody to him. So what was his deal?Heather rolled her eyes at me and put an obvious fake smile on her face. “I’ll show you how everything is done.”Okay. Does that mean she’s going to purposefully tell me the wrong way to do things? Because it sure feels like it.Maybe I’m just not as trustworthy as I used to be, but it was clear that Heather wasn’t happy I was taking her job over. Which she proved in the elevator going up to the penthouse.Heather came into my personal space, standing way too close for my comfort, and scoffed at me.“I don’t know what you did, but this won’t las
Cas’ pov Fuck! Shit! What a fucking mess! The whole point of asking Ripley to come here was to annoy her. And now I was the one who was annoyed. Not just annoyed. Frustrated. No, fucking pissed off! How dare she reject me? How dare she get into my head? The way she says my name. Fucking hell. I didn’t even think; I just told her to call me Cas. Nobody calls me Cas. One of my favorite nannies used to call me that, but other than that, everyone calls me Cassius or Mr. Hemming. She didn't even realize the significance of my allowing her to call me that. It was like I had no effect on her at all. But she had a fucking effect on me, that's for sure. Even if I didn't want to admit it, Ripley was getting to me. Crawling on all fours, bending over the bed like that. Smelling so damn good and looking at me with those eyes that were just begging me to kiss her. Did she not realize she was teasing me? Was I a stupid game to her? I scoffed. That was my plan. To play a dumb game before get
