When I come out of the stall to wash my hands, I am confronted by three women from the party who clearly followed me. At first, I decide to ignore them and focus on my hands, but they don’t seem to like that. “Oh, look it’s the escort.” “Hmm yes, and it seems that she thinks she is too good to acknowledge us.” “What a joke. Women like her are a disgrace. Taking all our men for themselves.” “I don’t even know why they call themselves escorts. We should call them what they are. Overpaid whores.” I snap, that last comment was the last straw. I’ve heard of high-end escorts and even looked into how they earn their fee and none of them includes sex in the contract. They are purely company for bachelors who need to attend a function with a date and nothing more. “If I were you, I would do more research before slinging insults and accusations at people.” They stare at me as though I am an alien after I speak. “Who are you to speak to us like that?!” The screeching is hurting my ears

“That is the best thing I have heard all night. There is no way that a girl like you is dating a man like my husband. Look at you! There is nothing about you that would draw a man from this circle to you for anything more than a quick lay. So, enjoy this night while it lasts because I can’t see you attending anymore. I growl low in my throat in anger at Rita’s words. So much of what she just said is wrong but also, she insulted my woman directly in front of me and I will not accept that. “Ex-Husband.” The room freezes as she utters those two words and I swear you can hear a pin drop as everyone is watching us waiting for what is going to happen next. “What?” “You heard me. Grant is your Ex Husband because he threw you out on your lying, cheating, botox-filled ass and now that he is looking to someone else for happiness you cannot stand it. But Rita there is something you need to understand.” “And what is that?” I can hear the anger and indignation in Rita’s voice as she speaks

However, my respite is short-lived as I feel his hands under my arms lifting me up and onto his lap, my knees straddling his hips. A small squeak of surprise leaves my lips as I am lifted but it is swallowed in the next moment as his lips crush into mine and he kisses me deeply. When we separate, we are both breathless, but he is not done with me. He turns and drops my body onto the bed then settles between my legs as he kisses down my jaw, neck, and collarbones. Over my breasts, through the valley between them, down my sternum to my belly button and then licks the line where my thong sits. I shudder from the sensation and begin to beg, “Ah, please sir, please.” “Mmmm what is it you want my pet?” “You sir. Please” He growls but I feel the smile on his lips as they are still pressed against my skin. “I was going to punish you for teasing me so much. But you have made me very happy so I will forgive you this time and instead give you a reward for your efforts.” His words make m

I wander back through the mansion and up to the bedroom to fetch my phone. Knowing that Lobo is still outside I take my phone to the kitchen and sit at the island as I dial. “Mmm hello?” “Hi, Jack.” “Angel? Baby girl, why are you calling so early on a Sunday?” “I need a friend.” “What happened?” Immediately his tone shifts from sleepy and curious to alert and concerned. I even hear Simon in the background. “If you have to go just go. I set up the spare room days ago.” I chuckle hearing his words but then a sob leaves me hearing his kindness. “Angel, speak, you are freaking me out.” “I-I don’t, I don’t know what went wrong.” “Shh it’s okay I’m here. Tell me what happened.” I take a few deep breaths to control my growing hysteria that I can feel rising through my chest. “Last night was amazing, but he seemed to think that I want to end our relationship.” “Why would he think that?” “I can only think that it is because I want to return to my flat tonight.” “You do?” “Well

I feel embarrassed that I offered him a meal but then was not able to provide one. But he doesn’t seem worried about it and is quick to suggest ordering in. “I don’t mind. But I do order from Rising Sun Chinese quite often.” “Chinese it is then. What would you like?” I tell him my usual order and he makes the call while I choose to start clearing out the abomination that is now my fridge. How I managed to keep my stomach down when I opened it, I will never know. “What can I help with?” I look over my shoulder and see him standing close by rolling up his sleeves and I chuckle. “Could you fetch the bin for me? I don’t think much of this is going to be salvageable. I also need cleaning supplies, over there under the sink.” He nods and does as I ask, quickly bringing me the bin to throw things into before fetching the cleaning items. We spend the next thirty minu
