Ivy
Maverick was true to his word. We made a stop and got me a bagel and juice. It’s been a while since I had apple juice. I almost forgot how it tasted. It was crisper than I remembered it and I wanted another glass of it as soon as I drank it.“Is apple juice your favorite?”“I don’t have a favorite; it’s been a while since I had apple juice.”“I’ll include it with your breakfast in the morning. I’ll take your garbage when you’re done. We’re here and we can’t have people waiting for us.”I gave him my garbage and took his hand when he held it out for me. He helped me out of the car and walked me across the street to a nice small boutique.“Remember, you can get anything you want and need. I already told the owner that you are looking for pants and that you may need underclothes.”“Thank you.”I couldn’t believe he was taking the time to make sure I had the clothes that I only needed, but wanted. I couldn’t wait to wear jeans again. I’ve missed them. I can’t wait to wear colors and patterns. It’s almost overwhelming.“Thank you for choosing my shop, Mr. Ronan.”“It comes well recommended. The goal is to find Ms. King some clothes that she is happy with.”“Of course. I’ll do my best. Would you like to have a seat and a glass of tea, Mr. Ronan, as I get Ms. King taken care of?”I couldn’t help but smile at the use of my last name. It’s been a while since I’ve heard it and it brought memories from home flooding back.We left Maverick in the waiting area, while the owner shuffled me around the room.“My name is Elaine, and all you have to do is tell me your likes and dislikes.”“I want nothing to show off my back.”“Is that your only requirement?”“Yes. I’m open to anything else.”“Can I look at your tags to get your size?”She walked behind me and pulled at the tag before walking over to a rack of clothing.“I’m not sure I have anything that small. Your shirts may be a little bit big.”“That's alright. I prefer them to be a little bigger.”“I can see why,” she mumbled under her breath.A few minutes, she returned with some shirts and a few pairs of pants.“Would you like any dresses?”“Yes, please.”“Try these on and when you come back out, I’ll have some dress for you.”I walked into the dressing room and took a deep breath. I was getting way too excited over new clothes. I had to keep calm and not embarrass Maverick.The pants fit like a glove and I ran my hands over the material several times admiring them in the mirror. I haven’t worn jeans in over a year. They felt foreign and fresh.It didn’t take me long to try on the other clothes and I came out long enough to get the dress she picked out. I wasn’t too excited about the dresses, but being with the Ronan brothers, I knew I would need dresses.“How did they look?”“I’ll take these two dresses, all the jeans and the floral shirt, the green shirt, and the long-sleeved shirt, and do you have a pair of sandals?”“Yes, just one moment.”She came back and handed me a pair of white sandals with cloth bows on them.“Can I change into these and wear them out?”“Yes. I’ll get Mr. Ronan and close out the purchase.”“Thank you.”I quickly changed into a pair of pants and the floral shirt. I was ready to ditch my work outfit. I would be happy if I never had to wear it again.“You look nice. Did you find everything you wanted?”“I did. Thank you so much for this. I didn’t get underclothes.”“We can stop somewhere after lunch. Are you ready to eat?”“Very much so.”***MaverickIvy looked amazing in the jeans you picked out. I can’t stop staring at her ass and I’m currently walking around, trying to hide my erection.The place I wanted to take her for lunch was within walking distance, so I decided it would be best to walk next to her instead of behind her.“Where are we going?”“I figured you could use a big lunch, so I’m taking you to Caglione’s. They serve amazing pasta.”“Why are you doing all this for me?”“I want to prove to you I’m not the asshole that I came across as the other night.”“You need to do more than treat me to nice things. I want you to put forth an effort to make things better.”“I am. I’m getting the doctor to come out to look at the other girls.”“That’s not enough. That’s only the beginning of it. We are more than treated unfairly. We are abused, often in more ways than one. I’ve been lucky with my placement, but some girls got more than lashings at their last place of service. Men usually take what they want and leave us to deal with the aftermath, and I’m tired of it. If you want to be with me, and if you want me to forgive you, you’ll need to change the way things are done. You have the power to do that.”“Change takes time.”“It does, but it can’t happen if you don’t plan for it to happen. You’re quietly waiting to take over before you make changes. That’s not how it works.”“It’s the way it has to work.”“No, you have power. “You’re the son of Mathias Ronan. People respect you because of your birthright. You have the power to change things now. Don’t be a coward.”I grabbed her wrist and pulled her to me before getting into her face.“I’m not a fucking coward and you better watch the way you talk to me. I won’t tolerate disrespect, especially in public.”“What are you going to do, lash me again?”“Don’t tempt me.”“Did you enjoy hitting me? Did it turn you on? Are you itching to do it again?”I pushed into the alley and against the brick wall before slamming my mouth onto hers. She let out a hiss but kissed me back. I grabbed her by the throat and broke the kiss.“Watch what you say to me in public,” I said, a little calmer, but the grip on her neck tightened. “Don’t make me find other ways to shut you up. Now turn around and let me see your back.”I was thankful to see that she wasn’t bleeding. The bandage the doctor put on her must be protective. I grabbed her hand and pulled her with me.“I may let you get away with talking like that to me in private, but in public, you’re walking a thin line. I have a family reputation to uphold, and you will learn to acknowledge that.”I didn’t know if I should be angry or turned on. Her defiance was fucking confusing. She was far from being submissive, and if I’m not careful, it’ll cause problems.Maddox“What the fuck is going on?”“Your brother thought it was wise to let the girls see a doctor. He said we haven’t been treating them well” Dad’s voice was laced with anger.I looked at Maverick.“Is it true? You’re doing all this for the help?”“Yes. Ivy said they weren’t being fed regularly and that some of them haven’t seen a doctor in years. They need to be looked at. We can’t expect them to do the work we want them to do if they’re not healthy. We don’t’ even provide them with enough food. Most of them are underweight, Maddox.”“This is ridiculous. This is wasting everyone’s time.”“It’s not wasting your time. You and dad can still get work done.”“Maddox, meet me in my office.”My father didn’t wait for me to answer. He walked off, and I followed.“You can’t have their girl running you guys all over the place. You need to make sure she keeps her opinions to herself. We can’t allow her to use you and your brother to gain privileges for everyone.”“I’ll talk to her and I’ll m
IvyThose bastards have kept me in this suit for three days with nothing to do. They have someone bringing me food and someone to tend to my wounds, but they refuse to talk to me when they are here.“Have you learned your lesson?” Maddox asked as he opened the door.“Yes.”“Good. You’ll be free to leave the room starting tomorrow. Maverick and I will be back tonight. Don’t mess this up, Ivy.”“I won’t. Can I please have a book or some kind of puzzle?”Maddox walked over to me and gave me the book I was ready back.“If you want more books, you can start spending time in the library on the second floor starting tomorrow. Tell one of us where you’re going and when you expect to be done.”Maddox turned around and was heading back towards the door.“Where are you going?”“I have work to finish. I’ll be back later.”“I want someone to talk to.”“It can’t be me. I have shit to do. You can talk to Maverick when he comes up in a while.”I thought working all day and not being able to see anyon
IvyThe warmth of Maverick’s body calmed me. It felt nice to be held. It didn’t matter if it was by a person who I wasn’t sure of. I at least felt wanted, which is something that I haven’t felt since coming here.I rolled over to face him.“I’m sorry for getting you in trouble.”“Don’t worry about it. I’m a big boy.”“I thought maybe we should be political about the changes we want to make.”“What are you talking about?”“You don’t want to carry on your father’s legacy and I don’t want to live this way anymore, so we should make it political. Your father through a coup, why can’t we?”I could see Maverick’s eyes search my face for any signs that I was joking. I was serious. Why couldn’t we overthrow his father?“We could get people on our side. People would listen to you.”“My father will kill you.”“I’ve thought about that, and I’m willing to die for something I believe in.”“What about Maddox? He won’t agree to this.”“Your brother wants power. If we agree to give him power, he’ll g
MaverickWhen I woke up this morning, Ivy was still lying next to me. Her body was still naked from last night, and I couldn’t help but smile. It wasn’t planned, but I’m happy it happened.“We need to talk.” Maddox angrily stated as he barged into the room.“Can’t this wait?”“No.”His jaw was clenched as he was looking at Ivy laying next to me.“Fine. Let me put some clothes on and I’ll meet you in the living room.”“What is he angry about?” Ivy asked.“It could be anything, but it’s probably about what you and I did last night.”I kissed Ivy on the head before walking into the living room to talk to Maddox.“Why did you do it?”“Do what?”“Fuck her. Why did you fuck Ivy?”“Because we wanted it, it wasn’t planned, and I didn’t do it to get back at you. It just happened.”“She was supposed to be mine first.”“Ivy is a person; she isn’t a toy. She sleeps with who she wants and when she wants to.”“You’re stealing her from me.”“No, I’m not. She hasn’t decided. Why are you upset?”“You
IvyI agreed to this game because I need to have a little control and if this is how I get it, then I’m willing to play.Maddox had cuffed my hands behind my back and my torso was on the bed with my legs over the edge. I couldn’t see what he was doing, but I could hear his movements. Maddox walked up behind me and placed a hand on my ass.“Your body is beautiful, Ivy. Your pale, smooth skin is something I cherish. It’s easy to leave behind evidence of our time together.” He then smacked my ass, causing it to sting and causing me to grunt out from the force. What confused me the most was how my body reacted to it. I felt the moisture pool between my legs after the smack and the next one made me moan out in pleasure.“It looks like my girl likes a bit of pain. Is that why you took the whipping so well? Do you like the pain?”“Yes.” I moaned out.Maddox slipped his hand between my legs and started rubbing my pussy, hitting my clit every time he slid his fingers up. It wasn’t long before
MaverickToday I’m meeting with a friend from college who shares the same ideas and I’m hoping I can convince him to join us. I told him it was an important private matter, and he agreed to meet with me at his home.“I didn’t think I would see you this soon after leaving university,” Collin stated.“I heard you are already expecting a child.”“I am. Lacy got pregnant while we were still in school. It’s a girl, which isn’t surprising. So, you said you needed my help with something.”“I do, but what we discuss has to remain between the two of us, even if you decide to not help me.”“I can make that promise.”“Maddox and I want to overthrow my father and take over. We want to make changes. We want our future wives and daughters to have the freedom to live life the way they want to, but we need more men to help us.”“Say no more, I’m in.”“It’ll be dangerous.”“I don’t care. As long as it gives my daughter a chance at a better life, I’m in.”“We don’t’ have a plan yet.”“Even better, I’m
IvyThe house that Maddox and Maverick picked is better than the one we were staying at, or at least it was for me. I didn’t have to worry about Mr. Ronan and I felt like I could get more freedom here. Part of me still believes they’ll turn out like their father.“What do you think?” Maverick asked“I like it.”“I know it’s not as big, but it fits us.”“I really like it, Maverick. It’s perfect.”“Good because Maddox and I would like to talk to you about something.”“Am I in trouble?”“No,” Maddox assured me. “We want to talk to you about us. I want you to come and sit next to us.”I took a seat between Maddox and Maverick on the couch. The house came furnished so we didn’t have to do anything unless we wanted to.Maddox placed his hand on my thigh while Maverick held my hand.“Maddox and I have been talking and we both agree that we want to be with you, and neither of us is willing to give you up.”“So, you’re asking me to choose now?”“We are asking you to be with us, let us share yo
MaddoxWhile we were gathering up a group of people to help us overthrow my father, we did small things that would go against him. My plan was to make small policy and law changes, starting with fertility appeals. My father doesn’t check them unless there is a complaint, so I’m going to approve all the appeals as they come to me.“Why are some girls taking lunch instead of doing what I told them to?”“I told them from now on they are to take a rotating lunch starting at eleven. This will make sure they’re not too tired to do the work we require of them.”“You know the rules. They get to eat when they are done with their job.”“You realize I can cancel their lunch and make them go back to work?”“It works both ways, father. They’re afraid of us and will listen to whoever is in their presence at the moment to avoid punishment.”“You’re spending too much time with your brother. You’re the one with the backbone. The one that will carry on my legacy. Don’t fuck this up.”“They will forget y
