The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 63: HIS WIFE
VANESSAJeremy's hand cupped my breast and squeezed gently as he moved his dick inside of me. I turned my head into the white satin pillow to muff my moans of pleasure. He took that as an opportunity to nibble on my ear lobe. He knows how I feel about that. Maybe he doesn't remember.I giggled immediately and turned my head to look at him."That tickles."He smirked before capturing my lips in a kiss and swirled his tongue with mine sensually. This is what it's like waking up to him in the morning. Sweaty sex at sunrise lasting hours and making us both late for work. Every touch from him made it worth it. All of it was worth it. I moved my fingers through his dark hair and looked at him, his gorgeous intense green eyes stared back at me. His eyes I'm sure had many people cower at his feet over the years. He wanted it that way. Jeremy flipped us over so he was laying down and I was over him. My hair flowed down in soft morning curls from the shower I had the night before. The shower
The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 64: SECRETS TOLD
VANESSAI walked out of Jeremy's office building and into the bustling streets. I told him that I was okay with him staying behind to work some more. He seemed like he needed it and I have some things that I would like to do as well. Things that I would rather do alone. As I slipped into my Uber, my mind was occupied with so many different things...Jeremy, Colin, The ballet and all those secrets that I'm keeping. Some big and some small, but secrets all the same. My Mom used to warn me not to keep secrets, that the truth is better coming from me, rather than someone else's mouth.She may be right about that. In this case, I think the truth will do more harm than good, why hurt the people around me over something that can't be controlled.The driver stopped the car and I slipped out onto the sidewalk, outside of the building I used to live in. I was dreading this — truly I was. I can imagine that there will be shouting on his part. He probably hates me for what I've done and I wouldn
The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 65: THE AUSTIN OCCASION
VANESSAI woke from my sleep to the sound of the doorbell ringing... again... and again... and again. It's Saturday morning, Maria's day off, which means no one is answering that door but me. It's going to keep ringing unless I get it. I groaned as I got up from Jeremy's bed. In the bed that he chose not to sleep in last night, I thought he would change his mind and join me but he didn't. I'm guessing he didn't get over his rage to come and talk to me.I rushed down the stairs and towards the front door dressed in one of Jeremy's T-shirts that hung slightly lower than my bum. I didn't bring nightwear with me — pyjamas are not something that I've needed. His words -- not mine. The bell had been ringing, so putting on extra clothes wasn't something that came to mind. Whoever was at the door was going to get a view of nipples and long legs. I opened the door and saw Jeremy's father standing in front of me on the porch."Tom..."He looked at me with furrowed brows."Vanessa, What are you
The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 66: NOTHING SAYS I LOVE YOU LIKE JEWELLERY
VANESSAWhen the landlord opened the door to Colin's apartment we walked inside. As my eyes scanned the room, no alarm bells were going off in my head. It looked exactly like it did the last time I was here. It's been a while but I remember.I was afraid to go towards the bedroom because I didn't know what I would find there. Colin never struck me as the type of guy who would be suicidal but that's what came to mind. He told me the night at the restaurant that I broke his heart... maybe he couldn't take it. This whole situation makes hurting him so much worse. I just wanted to end things peacefully and be happy moving on with my life... but it seems nothing is ever that simple. Not in my life. "The bedroom.."Miss Garrett walked towards the bedroom and I walked behind her nervously. If it was me opening that door I would be hesitant but she walked straight in.The anxiety grew within me as I walked into the room. I felt a great relief not finding him inside, I didn't expect to find h
The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 67: THE MASK SHE WEARS
VANESSA"You're such a bitch!"Natasha said with a cheeky grin on her face She eyed the diamonds around my neck in jealousy."On my wedding day, you're going to be wearing better diamonds than me. Ollie is going to be in trouble. That Mr Austin is making him look bad."I chuckled."I can leave it at home. I don't want it to take any attention off you on your wedding day.""Yes, you will. This necklace is from the man you love, of course you're wearing it."She smiled."My bestie is happy again. I'm so happy that you two are back together.""Me too. I never thought that it would happen, but here were are."The past still haunts me, but I want to be with him so I'm willing to work on things. Jeremy makes me happy regardless. "True love. So what do you think about this dress then?"She asked, whilst looking at me in the mirror."I think it's fucking hot... and it fits you like a glove so I don't think we'll need to alter it.""It's perfect."I thought of Jeremy when I looked at myself wearing my
The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 68: THE CREDIT CARD
VANESSAMy ballet partner held me in the air with both of his hands fanned out on my stomach for support. Wesley's arms were a little shaky trying to hold me in the air in a steady position, but thankfully he hadn't dropped me yet.The lift that Wesley was nervous about we paid the most attention to, practising it over and over again. Even after rehearsals were finished we continued going because we both wanted to give it our best. We were both adamant to get it right. Our choreographer Mags watched on as we finished our routine, keeping in mind the many mistakes that I'm sure she's going to bombard us with any minute now. I wasn't in the mood to be quite honest. "Okay, Guys. I think we'll leave it at that for the day. I'm tired just watching you two."Mags said and we stopped what we were doing."I know you both put in a lot of hard work, but we need more of that."I nodded my head slowly taking the opportunity to catch my breath. I agreed, of course, we weren't our best today. But w
The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 69: NIGHTMARE
VANESSAI woke to hear the sound of banging from my kitchen and I lifted my head off my pillow. It was one of those mornings where I longed to stay in bed until evening with my duvet and coffee refills until wine time. All of which was needed in my life right now. The space beside me was empty and going by the banging I heard from the kitchen, I'm guessing Jeremy is in there making breakfast. I reached across and looked at my alarm clock. "6:30"I groaned and lay back looking up at the ceiling. I have to be at the studio at 8. Having him here was like having a backup alarm clock in case my actual alarm fails me. Jeremy never does. He's an early riser... I like that about him. I like that he's making the effort to say at my apartment too, even though he'd rather be at the mansion sleeping in expensive Egyptian cotton sheets and having his maid make his meals and wash his clothes. Here he has to do that for himself. I heard footsteps down the hallway and I sat up in bed moving my han
The Austin Arrangement CHAPTER 70: IN A MOMENT OF PANIC
JEREMYFunerals I've never been fond of. Sitting in a church for an hour or two listening to a priest talk about things that I have no interest in hearing... That's a nightmare to me. But I'll suffer through it for her. I've never been religious. My mother is, she would always try to force it upon me growing up, as mothers tend to do with everything. The funerals I attended were of Grandparents and friends of my parents, and some of my Aunts and Uncles too. None of which were like today. I've seen funerals be both sad and joyous at times, talking fond and happy memories of the deceased. One last party to see the person off. Colin's funeral was grim from start to finish because everyone here knew that he didn't have a peaceful death, he suffered, and he wasn't ready to die. He was murdered.Like I said — today was different.Vanessa intertwined her fingers with mine as we walked away from the grave. She asked me this morning not to hold her hand or kiss her in front of his family. Gi
