The words Rick Hamilton had said to me were still spinning through my ears, my father’s entire estate was gone. I’d spent the last year here trying to be a wonderful dad.I didn’t know Olivia's mom had spent it all, so our time together had been one big, fat lie. Silly me. I’d been an old fool thinking she loved me. But what Amber had said to me the other day was true. “I told him she had no money and she was here to take his, but he didn’t believe it. Just like her mother,” Amber said, her face still red from when Olivia hit her a few hours ago. Olivia had left. She rushed upstairs, I thought to change. We were all downstairs, and I thought she was upstairs cooling down. I went up to her room, and I was shocked to find that Olivia had left. She’d taken the bag she’d come with and not even left a note. Yet, she’d left her phone, as if to say that she didn’t want to be contacted. I sat listening to my lawyer, Rick, and Amber talk about her. Talk about the woman I love as if she was
Fuck, fuck and Fuck!I left my phone in the house. It was no good to me anyway. The line was cut off, it had been for weeks since I came to live in his house. I kissed David goodbye on his cheeks as he slept - I’m so going to miss the little guy - and then I came to the park, the one I’d been coming to with David on our daily walks. He loves it here, but I love it more. It’s so peaceful, and my plan didn’t get past what would happen once I left the house. I couldn’t think. It was as if I couldn’t breathe, the same way when I found out mom had left and the penny dropped that she would never come back.“I knew I would find you here!” I heard a voice shout behind me. Clark was in a black polo and matching pants. He’d changed from when I saw him earlier. I could run, but sports were never my forte. I didn’t know where to hide, so I thought I should just be the woman I’d been when I was with him and be honest. I stood up, no longer on the grass sitting and feeling helpless. But as I trie
OliviaThe last two years had flashed by, but our feelings for each other hadn’t changed. Clark pulled me closer to his body, and my legs slid into place around his waist. We were both naked in bed, taking full advantage of our free time. I could feel the heat there, where my center came to rest on the bulge in his pants. I was his for the taking and there was no resistance at all. His eyes raked over me, then down to the place where our bodies met. I saw his tongue flick out, and it made my core clench even tighter inside of me. I felt something twitch where he pressed against me, and knew it was his cock. He was as hard as a rock and ready for me in a way that was impossible to ignore. I could feel the heat of his desire as it radiated through our bodies. I wanted him to make me his. I needed it, and his body responded to that need. His fingers gripped at my hips tightly as he ground his cock against me in a way that left no doubt what his intentions were. The pressure was so exqu
I didn’t just want him for one night or maybe two. I wanted more as I found myself lost in my stepbrother’s love. Mom had been married so many times, but this time she was getting married to a rich man. One who had a hot son. A son whose emerald eyes traced my body from my head to my toes, every time our paths crossed.He was arrogant, with too many tattoos and sultry eyes that made me want to explore every inch of him. It was clear where our attraction was headed, and like a kid in a candy store, I couldn’t keep away from temptation.
Work, as usual, was tiring. Being a nurse, I always had something to do, but on nights like this, I worked myself to the bone. I worked hard, until I was exhausted, and I still had to keep going.The end of my shift seemed like such a long way away, but once it was time for me to clock out, I was reluctant, because I had several days off planned. Now, usually, this would be something to look forward to, because it meant I could get some rest, but I had prior engagements that I wouldn’t have minded getting out of.“Hey, Julia. You’re off now too, huh?”I turned around to see a fellow nurse and friend, Patty, coming up behind me. She looked about as exhausted as I felt, and I remembered we had most of the same shifts this week.“Yeah. I’m about ready to drop,” I admitted. I patted down my blond hair, twisted into a French braid, and knew it probably showed signs of how my day had gone.She chuckled. “It’s the price we have to pay to do our jobs. You have a bunch of free days coming up,
“Are you almost here, honey?”I rolled my tired blue eyes at my mom. Why was she calling me now?“I told you the last time you called that I was on my way. I know exactly where I’m going, Mom, it’s not like I’m going to get lost.”“But you aren’t here yet,” she said, with a hint of a whine in her voice.I held back a sigh. “Mom, I’m not teleporting there. Just give me time, okay? I’m not even that far away.”“Fine, then, but hurry up, okay? There’s still a lot left to do, and the wedding is really close.”“You should know better than to do stuff last minute, Mom.”“It’s not last minute, though! I’ve been working a lot on this, okay? All my friends are busy, too, so I’ve been doing it on my own. It’s a small event, anyway, so it’s not too big, but I could use the help.”“Give me ten more minutes, and I’ll be there,” I said.“Thank you, honey!”Mom hung up, and I put my phone away. I called it a trip, but I was really just going from the area I lived in, to Mom’s house. When I made the
Stephen was charming. More than my heart could take, even with both our parents there with us. It didn’t help that he would keep looking at me. I kept imagining the fire in his eyes, even when I looked away.He was also a little smug like he knew the effect he had on me, and he played it out well.Beneath his cool, polite exterior around Mom and Paul, and beneath that designer suit he wore, was a bad boy with tattoos and a love of hard sex.That last part, I knew because he turned my world on its axis one night when his dad took us out to eat. He’d got me to leave the table with a muttered excuse, nobody was really paying attention anyway, and I’d followed along, too curious to say no. The next thing I knew he had me backed up into a wall in a dark hallway. I had been trying my best not to look at him and failing at it, so when he undid his cuffs and rolled his sleeves back, I could only gape at the ink running down his right arm.Because I was so preoccupied, I didn’t even realize wh
What the hell had I been thinking?I hadn't been thinking, though, and wasn’t that the problem here? It was Saturday, the day after the wedding, and I’d already moved back to my apartment from Mom’s home. I didn’t have to be back to work yet, not until Monday. I didn’t have anything else to do, so I could only stay at my apartment and stew.The events from last night wouldn’t stop running through my mind. I hadn't consumed enough alcohol to get drunk, so my thoughts were pretty clear, and it was torture.I shouldn’t have been drinking last night. Not in such proximity to Stephen, knowing how he made me feel. I should have been paying attention, too, and tried better to avoid him the moment I realized I wanted him, from the first time I met him. Right then, I should have kept a polite distance between us. It wasn’t an impossible thing to do, even though we were now related. We were also still strangers. I’d only known him for a few days, and he’d turned my world upside down.It was my
