I didn't think you'd show up.”“I'm the one who reached out first. Why wouldn't I show up? Also, I'm desperate.” My mind wanders back to William. “Very desperate.”He offers a warm smile. “You are interested in the theory part of it.”“Yes. I know my way around the…” I think of ways to describe my expertise with ropes, paddles, and other tools. “...practical side.”He chuckles. “Good.”He then gestured toward a pair of leather armchairs set near a towering mahogany bookcase."Come sit, Elias," Julian said.I let out a heavy breath and move to where he had ushered.Julian settled opposite me, resting his forearms on his knees, studying my face."You mentioned the practical side is your comfort zone. I'm not surprised. The physical side of submission is easy. Like stepping aside and letting someone pass or holding your t
Elias"But I want to help him," I said, continuing to throw the ball against the wall."Stop doing that. You'll break something again," Leon said.Ever since that night at Arthur's place, my dear William had put even more distance between us. I hated it. I hated his brother, and don't even get me started on Arthur himself."That isn't part of your job description," Leon offered.I let out a low groan and rolled onto my stomach. "I need to help him.""Why? Because you think he'll like you more? Here's the news,petty boy,it won't work out like that. He'll probably just give you a lecture about butting into his business.""He can be stubborn, but that doesn't mean he…""No, no, no," he cut in. "You are not going to do anything. You don't know what kind of family feud you'd be dragging yourself into, and as you know, those things are never pretty."I sighed, his little lecture getting on my nerves.He laughed. "You're angry. That's why you're quiet. But think about it, there's nothing you
Elias“If you don't want to tell me, just say so,” I snapped, crossing my arms and glaring at the counter. “No need to exchange secret looks like that. Geez.”"Elias," William called sternly. "Drop the attitude.""I'm not having an attitude," I muttered, though I didn't look at him. "I'm just pointing out that I cleared your entire afternoon, handled your work, and drove across the city, only to find you having a cozy little nap while your ex treats me like a stray dog."Arthur let out a soft chuckle from the stove, setting down his spoon. "I treat stray dogs much better than I treat you, Elias. And also, you get paid to do that. Except the last part, you should have saved on the gas""Arthur, stop poking him," William sighed, resting his forehead in his hand. He turned his head slightly to look at me. "Barret went to Arthur's eastern office as you already know. He was asking questions about my personal life. He's looking for proof that... that my marriage to your mother isn't what it
EliasI was feeling a lot of different emotions, but happiness was definitely not one of them.It had been more than seven hours since William left the office. He hadn't picked up my calls, and he hadn't returned a single text message. For some unknown reason, I was beyond furious.An hour past the end of the workday, I marched straight to Arthur’s apartment building because I knew that was his initial destination. If I found William there, I’d be twice as mad and I actively refused to ask myself why I even cared that much.I rang the doorbell and stood in the hallway, forcing myself to stop tapping my foot against the floor.The door opened a few minutes later. No, exactly seven minutes later.“I know you were watching me through the peephole and you enjoyed keeping me waiting,” I snapped the second Arthur opened the door.He smiled, looking too relaxed. “Good to see you again… um…”“Elias. And I know you remember that,” I snapped, brushing right past his shoulder and walking into th
ElliasI sat in the very last row, the mahogany bench feeling like a church pew at a funeral I wasn’t allowed to mourn. All my muscles were tense. A part of me was thrilled my mother was walking into this. Another part was scared because the man will be around every single day.I could successfully
Ellias3 months laterSharp, rhythmic rapping against my bedroom door dragged me out of a dreamless, heavy sleep."Elias. Wake up. The first of the town cars are pulling into the drive."My mother’s voice was as crisp as the morning air, devoid of the tremor I’d been carrying in my own voice for nin
ElliasAfter he'd drunk up and I had us cleaned up, I got in the covers next to him.He quickly shifted to the other side of the bed and stared at me with a skeptical look on his face. “What are you doing?”“Aftercare. I was going to hold you.”“Cuddle me?” he asked, cocking his head.“Yes.” “Uh-uh
WilliamHe took the blindfold off and I blinked even though the room was dimly lit. Did he say three? Was he crazy? I wasn't sure how I had survived the last one but I had no energy to fight him so I just laid there."Do you have any idea how beautiful you look right now?"I've never been self co
