“Nothing I did was good enough. If it wasn’t Bree, it was her dad that picked on me. My clothes were distasteful. My job wasn’t fancy enough. My car wasn’t expensive enough, and yada-yada. You know the kind.”Catherine nodded with the most sympathetic glance ever.“After eleven years of hell, I finally mustered up enough courage to file for a divorce. I was scared shitless that her dad would hire a hitman or have someone to beat me up, but for some reason he didn’t. And later I found out what that reason was.”I laughed sadly.“She’d found another man. Actually, she’d been seeing him behind my back for almost two years, and he was immediately accepted by her parents. He probably had the right relatives, job or car. I don’t know. But at least he made it easier for me to leave, and for that I was grateful.”Catherine smiled, but it didn’t reach her eyes. They were big and compassionate.“You know... When Jake told me that he’d found a girl and that you were going to get married, I was c

“But I haven’t seen him since this morning, Marty! How can I...”“You should have come home at five like you promised! I even made dinner for you while I waited for you to show up. A dinner I ended up eating alone. And you didn’t even pick up the damn phone when I called. Where the hell were you?”Great. Now I felt even worse for going over to Allison.“I was on my way home!”“And it took seven hours extra?! It’s way past midnight, Jake! It only takes one to get to Fairfield where you were!”“I know that. We just... We had a lot of fun and lost track of time, that’s all.”Catherine groaned and said something I couldn’t hear, and the curious part of me wanted to crack the door open so I could hear better. Then I felt bad for eavesdropping, and instead took note of how easily people could hear what was going on inside my apartment. Jake and Catherine were yelling quite loud, but still. You never know what kind of people who were lurking outside.“I told you to come with us, Marty. But y

“Hello, Satan.”“What do you want?” Bree barked.“Why did you cancel Martina’s order?”She laughed overbearingly.“Oh, that... Those flowers were hideous. Who wants to have Lilies of the Valley at their wedding?”My jaw dropped. The audacity!“You canceled the flowers, too?” I asked in disbelief.“Uhm, yeah? Someone has to take charge around here when you don’t. As always, you’re too busy screwing around to be useful at all.”“Me? How about leaving it to Martina? She’s the bride.”Once again, that mean chortle.“Yeah, right... She doesn’t have a clue what she’s doing. She even admitted so, and that’s why she asked for help.”“Help, yes. To pick out the napkins and arrange who should sit next to each other at the reception. Not you turning into the wedding planner from hell!”“Like you would know anything about that? You didn’t even help at your own wedding. You barely participated at all. And when you finally showed, you were hungover and disgusting. If it wasn’t for dad literally thr

“What?” I asked and shrugged.“You’re drinking a lot.”“No, I don’t.”She didn’t reply and that made me slightly insecure and quite pissed.“I like to drink, but I’m not an alcoholic if that’s what you think.”“Doesn’t matter. It’s unhealthy.”I groaned.“Everyone knows it’s bad for you, you don’t need to lecture me. But it’s a slow and delicious death.”I smirked and sat back.“I don’t only drink alcohol, though.”She raised an eyebrow and waited.“I drink a lot of tea. Actually, I even eat it.”I thoroughly enjoyed her confusion.“How is that possible?”“Oh, it’s possible.”I nodded to myself and signed for the waiter for another drink, just to piss her off. This date was actually starting to get interesting.“No, seriously. How can you eat something that is wet?” she pushed, and I already knew she’d hate the answer. Did I care? Not at all. It was funny as fuck. So I leaned forward on my elbows and locked my eyes with hers, while I grinned mischievously. Then I lowered my voice as i

She was close now. I knew from the way she was clinging to me, and how badly her legs were shaking. And I could hear some of her incoherent nonsense, just like last time.I stopped when she was about to tip over the edge. Every single fiber in me was screaming to be inside of her. To feel her velvety muscles clenching around my girth as I carefully pushed inside her. To bring her even more pleasure than I already did. So I pressed my forehead against hers and made her look at me, and grabbed her hand and placed it on my bulge. And just by the use of my gaze I made her understand what I wanted.“Yes.”One word that barely reached my ears, yet spoke in volumes so loud that it made my body explode. A slow explosion that kept building until it felt like I couldn’t take it anymore. I have never been as hard as I was now without bursting, and I already knew I wouldn’t last long. But I hurriedly pulled down our pants and underwear just enough to get access, and I continued rubbing her while
