Molly:
“I don’t think we should be here, Kate. We should probably go home and rest up for tomorrow,” I said to Kate through the loud music as she gulped down the contents of her glass.
“Come on, you’re no fun!” Kate said in an ear-splitting tone, and then she let out a giggle. She then took another shot and squeezed her face against the burning sensation, after which she laughed. “You should celebrate freedom tonight,” she said, passing me a shot, which I declined.
She shrugged and gulped the contents. We needed to get on a plane as soon as possible because Bruno and his men would come right after us. Here I was paranoid, and my best friend was unbothered.
“What if Bruno and his men find us?”
“Shh,” Kate said, putting a finger to my mouth before wrapping her arm around my neck.
“Have this,” she said, forcing a glass of liquor down my throat.
As I felt the burning sensation down my throat, I squeezed my face, but as soon as it was over, I felt great.
“You know what? Perhaps you’re right; I’m just overreacting,” I said, taking another shot.
After a few more shots, everything spun.
“How do you feel?” Kate asked, and I turned to see that there were two of her.
“There are two of you... and ooh, another one,” I said, attempting to catch all three of them at the same time.
“I have to pee,” Kate said, and I shrugged.
As soon as she walked away, a man approached the bar where I sat. Then I heard him order in his husky tone. I was too drunk to see his face through the neon lights, but I could tell he had a muscular build and could probably crush the shot glasses in one go.
“Hello,” he said with a short wave, and I waved back sluggishly before placing my head on the counter. I noticed him gulping down six glasses at a time and realized immediately that something was wrong. He was probably drowning his sorrows like I was.
“One more,” I mumbled to the bartender, raising my left hand. When he handed it to me, the man next to me clicked his glass against mine, and we both gulped at the same time.
“Let’s dance,” he said, and I took his hands in mine.
He dragged me up and onto the dance floor. I saw Kate coming back the moment we left, and she gave me a thumbs up. I shook my head in disbelief, then turned my gaze to the man in front of me. He wrapped his hands around my waist and I felt a waver down the length of my spine, like electricity running through a conductor.
It was as if our souls were connecting because all I could think about was kissing this man. My waist fit perfectly into his hands, and he drew me in closer, my hands on his chest.
“So…what is a pretty lady like you…”
“No... no... no... stop right there!” I said to him, and he gave me a raised-and-arched eyebrow look. I vowed to myself that I would never fall for another man’s ruse again.
“If you’re here to make me fall in love with you, you’ve failed,” I said, continuing before he could respond.
“I’m on the run from my fiance, who has been cheating on me for quite some time. I humiliated him during the wedding by playing a clip of them fu...” I said and then I realized I was giving way too much information to a stranger.
“Oh my God, I should stop talking,” I said, and he looked at me with a straight face.
When the situation became too awkward, I crashed my lips against his. That didn’t help the situation; in fact, it exacerbated it. I immediately pulled away, muttered, “I’m sorry,” and started walking away.
He came after me right away.
“Wait!” he said, grabbing my hand from behind.
When I turned around, he claimed my lips.
“We… are drunk and…”
“We should make you forget about your horrible fiance,” he said to me.
Then he lifted me into his arms and deepened the kiss. He carried me up the stairs to one of the club’s motel rooms. The moment we got in, he shut the door with one hand while carrying me firmly on his other arm. Then he let me down and slipped his hands into my panties, which caused my breathing to quicken.
“You’re fucking tight and wet,” he moaned sluggishly.
Then he trailed kisses down my neck.
“That’s because my stepfather won’t let me have my first time unless I’m married,” I explained, feeling a brief but pleasurable pain.
My body craved this man right now, and I wasn’t sure if it was the alcohol or the fact that they had sexually starved me for the past twenty-three years. He immediately lifted me up and threw me on the bed. Then he kissed me from my legs to my thighs. I couldn’t hold back as the tension between us grew, so I let him ravish my body hungrily because I also longed to experience this moment.
****************
I opened my eyes to the rays of sunlight that had crept into the room. My head was throbbing, and my female organs were aching. When I turned around, there was a naked man lying next to me.
I almost screamed, but then I remembered what had happened the night before. It disgusted me, but I couldn’t help but admire the man beside me. He had a well-groomed mustache and jet-black hair, and he actually had the physique of a Greek god. I wanted to run my hands down his perfectly sculpted abs because they were so appealing.
He would definitely cringe, knowing he had sex with someone like me. Maybe he was a sex worker, I reasoned.
When the thought of being deflowered crossed my mind, my heart skipped a beat. I was about to freak out when I noticed a used condom on the floor. Then I relaxed, knowing that I wouldn’t be pregnant soon. I jumped out of bed and hurriedly changed my clothes before dropping a hundred dollars and a note on the bed beside him.
My phone beeped with a text from Kate as soon as I stepped out of the room.
“Where are you? The plane takes off in an hour.”
When I read the text, I hurried over to her apartment.
************
When I arrived at Kate’s apartment, I rushed up to the front door and lightly tapped on it. Then I pushed open the door to find Kate still in her nightgown, staring at me blankly in her living room. I creased my brows immediately and walked in.
“What was all of that, Kate...” I was about to finish when someone grabbed me from behind and covered my face with a hanky. I struggled for a few seconds, then felt myself becoming very weak, and my eyes slowly closed until I passed out.
Farrell:The irritating sound of my phone ringing woke me up. I groaned several times because I was suffering from a throbbing headache. I reached for my side table but couldn’t feel anything, so I forced my eyes open to see that I was in a motel.Last night’s memories flooded back as I looked around the room. Her sweet taste lingered in my mind, and it made me smile. I reached for her on the other side of the bed, wanting more of her but finding an empty bed.“What’s this?” I said aloud as I grabbed the piece of paper and money from the bed.“I’m sorry about last night. Take this and forget it ever happened,” I said, reading the contents of the paper.My lips curved wide because I found it amusing that she didn’t know who I was. “Sir!” My smile faded as I heard Martin’s voice from the door.I was the most ruthless and feared man in town, so I couldn’t be caught slacking and smiling because of a woman.He walked in shortly after opening the door.“Are you fucking mad!” I yelled. I the
Farrell:“Andrew Waterson, today is your day of reckoning!” I said with a growl as I removed my hat.When I looked up, I noticed how chaotic the situation was. There was a girl bleeding from her leg. Andrew backed up to the wall like a coward, and there she was—my golden goose. They dressed her in a wedding gown, but she was unhappy. Her face was red and swollen. Tears streamed down her cheeks, and a man clutched her tightly.“Please help my friend,” she pleaded, reaching out for me, but the man yanked her back.Then I hazily remembered everything she had said in the club the night before, and I concluded the man was her fiance. I became enraged, and I cocked my gun and shot this man in the chest without hesitation. His blood splattered all over her white gown. I saw her eyes widen, and she gasped for air.Then I ordered Martin and Perez to take the bleeding girl to the hospital.“Bruno!” Molly screamed as he crashed to the floor. She grabbed him and rocked him.“You... you killed him
Molly: I cried myself to sleep at the foot of the bed, still dressed in my bloody gown. The sound of the door opening jolted me awake, and I leapt to my feet, eager to see his face and learn what he had in store for me. But when the door opened, a young lady walked in. She was dressed in a black gown with a white apron and a white cap. I could still see her beautiful black curls through the cap. "My name is Rose, and I'm here to prepare your bath," she said her eyes darting along my body and the corner of her lips raising. She then locked the door and approached me. I remained still the entire time as she moved past me to the door on the left. She opened it and shut it once she was inside. I collapsed onto the bed and stretched my hands. At this point, I couldn't say if I was fortunate or unlucky. I was fortunate to have escaped Bruno and my pathetic excuse for a stepfather, but Farrell was no angel. The lady emerged from the room after a few moments and approached me. "Your bath
Molly: “Have you had anything to eat yet, my darling?” He inquired, and I looked at him blankly. I was still terrified by what he had said, and he was simply changing the subject. “If you’d rather have me for dinner, just say so; gawking at me with no words is a little strange,” he smirked. “Oh, don’t flatter yourself,” I said, folding my arms, turning to walk away, but he gripped my waist. “Rule number two, never walk away from me when I’m talking to you,” he said in a vile tone. “So..?” he asked. “I haven’t eaten yet,” I said, my face turned to the side. “Very well then, dress up and come to dinner with me,” he said as he let go of my hand. I sighed deeply and headed to the pink bed to sit as he left the room. Then I remembered I never even inquired about the location of the wardrobe. I looked around the room, assuming that one door was the door to the closet. I stood up and made my way to the first door on the right. Then I yanked it open, and what I saw startled me. It was
Farrell: I awakened with a tightness in my chest. Then I realized I was naked to the chest and sleeping on cold tiles. This could only mean one thing: I was still sleep walking. The elderly lady’s incessant cry for her daughter overwhelmed my ears, causing me to force my eyes open. I rose from the cold floor and inspected the room, seeing that she lay with her eyes closed on the bed. I approached her and examined her aged skin. I wrapped a blanket around her because the coolness of the room was causing her lips to chatter. Then I touched her silky gray hair softly. “I’ll find your daughter,” I whispered, and the corner of her mouth raised. The incident happened about ten years ago, yet every time I slept walked, it felt like yesterday. After correctly tucking her hands into the blanket, I turned to leave. I opened and closed the door softly. Then, as usual, I locked it. “Hey,” Molly said quietly from behind me. She kept a poker face when I turned around to face her. “What brough
FARRELL:I slammed the door and scrunched my face as I stared at Cassie, who had a smirk on her face. Cassie was the thorn in my rose garden and my ex; unlike the other women I had dated, she was the most fearless. I met her shortly after losing my wife, and her submissive but haughty demeanor lifted me out of my depression.She was still stunning, with her large sky-blue eyes, long lashes, and those juicy kissable lips that were always ready to give some lips. But Cassie was bad news; she embodied the adage “all that glitters is not gold.”She satiated my strange sexual desire, but she never let me heal properly.“Mr. Gustavo,” she said seductively, spreading her long, spotless legs on my table to reveal her underwear.“Can you explain how you got in here, Cassie?” I inquired, my brow furrowed.Then I took off my jacket and hung it on a hook near the door. “I am not here to play games, Cassie; please tell me how you got in!” I said this with a growl and marched straight to the table.
Molly:I was such a fool to pay him a surprise visit. What in the world was I thinking? That he was Prince Charming, and I was Cinderella? This man clearly wants me only as a sex slave.“Molly!” As he took heavy steps down the hallway after me, Farrell yelled in a husky tone.That we were supposed to be legally married bothered me even though I did not love him.. As I ran through the corridor, my heart felt as if they had placed a heavy stone on it, and my legs felt shaky.How could he? Why did he marry me if I could not satisfy him with just one woman? He could have made me his whore or anything else, but married me against my will.He caught up with me just as I was about to press the elevator button and enter it.“I told you to wait!” He growled, yanking my hand violently, causing me to wince in pain.When I turned around, I slapped him across the face, my eyes glistening with tears. My hands were weak, so it did not do much; he just clenched his jaw and glared evilly at me.“Pay at
Molly:I smiled warmly at the two men sitting directly across from Farrell—the one I had met and the one I did not know. Then I whispered to the bothersome presence beside me.“Probably what everyone else is trying to do, Farrell,” I said, quirking my brows at him.“Not in that dress, you are not. Why are you wearing it?” Farrell inquired, his gaze darting down my body and back to my face.Why was he making such a big deal about a dress? He did not hear me announce I had caught my husband and his ex-girlfriend kissing.“Is this a business meeting or an interrogation?” I asked, tilting my head slightly and motioning to his associates. “They haven’t left.”He glared at me, then let go of my arm and cleared his throat, as if the reminder had reset his senses.“I am sorry, gentlemen, this is my wife, Molly,” he explained. Farrell introduced the person I had met as Ernesto Russo and the person I had not met as Theo Campbell.“It is a pleasure to meet you both,” I said as I stood to shake th
