I stand looking at myself in the mirror, glistening silver grown flows over my body, the slit up the side exposes my leg. With Marcus, finding a dress was quick. He picked which I am grateful for because I am not comfortable with the price. I knew the moment we walked in the shop, one or two of each dress at the most, champaign in glasses. I knew the dresses would cost too much, and I felt uneasy choosing knowing he was paying.So, when he walked in picked up the dress and said this is perfect, I looked and agreed, because well I guess I do. The dress is perfect what more can I say? Nothing really can I when that is the truth. The truth though, had I gone alone I wouldn't have even looked at that shop."Thinking hard there aren't you." My body jumps at the sound of his voice as he slowly stalks towards me, his eyes taking in the sight of my body in the gown."Now, I don't like to gloat, but damn I made one hell of a good choice with this." He rubs his hand against my exposed legs, sto
I stand staring at him, what is he doing? Alena looks at us both confused."Would you ever leave Jackson for me, Alena?" She looks at him shocked and shakes her head,"You know full well I would never choose you over Jackson." Her face shows she means it but at the same time she is sad, she has clearly hurt him by saying that."Right, and have you begged me before to come back and get back into the same arrangement as before?" She looks at me, and it is like a lightbulb moment."Yes, and you refused totally, Anaya, you have nothing to worry about, I have lost Marcus and it is something I am learning to live with, and I will never leave Jackson for him." Jackson is simply standing there watching and listening."Here it is Alena, and you, Jackson. From now I will not join you again, ever. If Anaya walks out and leave,s I still won't. The whole point of this was to distance myself, to get my own life and one day walk away, and today is that day."Alena's eyes spark with hurt, then she lo
Waking up I smile, sweet and tempting memories of last night flooding my mind. Rolling over my arm reaches out, Marcus is no longer by my side, I continue smiling though. He stayed until I was asleep clearly before going to his own room, something I'll get used to quickly.It is part of the contract, one I'm sticking to although something inside me is telling me soon that will change.Sitting up I look around at the room, it is beautiful, elegant and the erotic paintings somehow don't appear to be only okay for adults to see. Getting up I walk into the shower, my mind on last night, Alena flashing in briefly before I push her away. The sound of the door opening makes me turn to look where Marcus stands. The shower door blocks my view. I'm just about to see his outline."I thought I heard movement, we have business to deal with today kitten, so once you're ready we will make our way." Smiling at him I nod, no idea why when he can't see me. My mouth opens to reply then I remember someth
Standing up I grab a bag and pack some clothes, walking out of the room I can hear Marcus talking, sitting on the top step I listen."Everything, I told her everything well nearly." There is a pause while someone replies."I know, but I had to tell her how could I not? I don't even know the woman, yet I feel like I'm losing her like I lost Alena, it hurts." My head lowers as she is clearly replying."I don't know, I just felt like I needed her, something about her, just like Alena had me falling for her. I've lost her. As I said, everyone, I love leaves or chooses someone else." His words make me look up, he loves me?"No, I don't think even you talking to her would help, I'll pop by tonight once she leaves and see MJ at least he can't leave me, not yet anyway." Standing up I walk back to my room, I feel stuck. Anyone in their right mind would run, and fast and not look back, yet I can't."I'll drive you where you need to go," his voice full of hurt, standing I turn to look at him. W
Waking up in Marcus's arms, it feels strange. My eyes glance down seeing his tattoos, I never really took time to look at him. Of course, I noticed the tattoos, his muscles and the scar on his face but I never took time to see them.The dragon going down his arm looks amazing, the feel of him shifting behind me alerting me he was awake. His arm wraps around me tighter, pulling me closer to him."Good morning kitten" his voice soft against my ear.The water holds meUntil I can't breathe at allAs my heart believes it's lost againWaiting for you to walk out that doorThen the sun shined downYour beauty burning meAs you decide not to walk out that doorYet stay here with me forever moreMy heart can love once more.Marcus speaks quietly the poem within my ear, my heart understanding his pain. We don't say anything, just lay together in silence as time passes by, I know today I'll have to tell him everything. The sound of his phone ringing ends our moment. He rolls over and answers, m
The house isn't small, far from it. Getting out the car, Jackson comes out the house, followed closely behind by a few men."Okay, you go in kitty, I'll introduce you to everyone when I get in." Nodding I walk through the door Alena stood there smiling. "Anaya, welcome. This is Georgina, one of my closet friends and now Jackson's sister in law." Georgina smiles at me, she reminds me of someone who finds it hard to bite her tongue and the look she's giving me confirms that.Standing, I feel awkward, I wish Marcus would hurry up."So, Anaya? Isn't that a bit weird?" Alena shoots Georgina a warning look."What? It is weird, I am happy she took Marcus so things can be normal, but come on Alena, really?" Georgina's hand points at me, this was a big mistake. I should leave, turning Marcus walks back though, he looks at me then towards Georgina and Alena."What the fuck have you said? Invite her to the party you said then you go and give her shit?" Marcus moves to my side his arm wrapping a
I have not held a baby since Evie, it feels amazing, but it hurts, everything flooding back slightly."You killed her, didn't you?" I look up to see Marcus's face full of humour."No actually, I spoke to her inner bitch, and realised she is actually nice." He looks at me shocked."Great, I am going to lose you to blondie as well." He laughs and walks in sitting down on the bed."Honestly though, is she okay? We are thinking of cancelling tonight, Alena already has most of the kids in bed." I shake my head looking at him."No, go out and take Liam with you. Do you honestly think the best thing to do is send them back home together? She needs time to talk to women about whatever is going on and no doubt he needs time to moan that his wife hasn't had sex with him in six months." I highly doubt any good would come from cancelling tonight."If you say so." He gets up and walks towards the door looking back at me."The baby style suites you." He winks and disappears around the corner. Not a
I stand and watch as he scans his thumb, the door unlocking. Pushing it open we walk through, I turn and see Alena walking from her room. She smiles at me, but I can see pain in her eyes. Stepping in the door closes. The room is beautiful, yet at the same time hair-raisingly daunting, Marcus stands to the side simply smiling at me."Okay, I want you to walk around, choose a few items you want to try out; we will only use those items though, so make sure you choose wisely." Well, that I can live with, nodding I walk further in."Also, tonight won't be like I am with others, not until we have built up enough trust and I know your body language enough, I don't want to take risks." Nodding I stay quiet. Something about this room draws me in, makes me crave it more and more, walking around I look at everything, my mind wondering why I am choosing. The excitement of not knowing what will be used is better, but I guess this way it will help. I grab a collar and lead, then walk around and gra
