“Are you having trouble sliding it in?” Felix asked, whispering in her ear.“No.” Cassie lied trying to steady her hand.They had managed to sneak out of the ball and book a room for themselves in the same hotel. This was it. They were going somewhere more private, just as Felix had suggested and just as she had agreed to. Throughout the entire ride in the elevator and during the short walk that they had taken on the corridor, Felix had continued to whisper lewd promises in her ear that had left her cheeks flushed and her toes curled. She wanted the soreness that would come after an encounter with him. She wanted him in her, on her, by her and under her. She wanted to choke on him and be choked by him. She wanted him.Maybe if she could just pull her attention away from Felix’s hardening length on her ass and his hand drawing abstract shapes on her inner thigh, she might just be able to concentrate just enough to slide the keycard and grant them access to the penthouse.“Do you need a

The ride to the hospital was tense and silent. Felix divided his attention between the road and checking on Cassie who was wringing her hand anxiously while absentmindedly staring out of the window. He couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease as he watched her. At the backseat, Eliza sat silently – which was more than odd for her – with her hands on her knees in a fruitless effort to prevent blood from getting on the car’s fancy interior. It took them less than ten minutes to get to the hospital but it felt like an eternity. When they finally arrived, they first thing that they noticed was that the hospital was so small, it was basically a clinic. It was an early Saturday morning in December and multiple cars were already present in the parking lot belonging to people who had hurt themselves doing something stupid while drunk the previous Friday night, people that had gotten into accidents on the slippery roads, people who had fallen through thin ice while skating and every other cate

“I hope you’re proud of yourself, you fucking idiot.” Eliza mumbled.“Don’t be so hard on him.” Cassie pleaded, rubbing her fingers over Felix’s knuckles.Eliza scoffed. “That’s going to be hard considering how much of a fucking idiot he is. Next time, when a doctor asks if you’ve eaten, you don’t lie.”Felix groaned in response and took another spoon of the bland pudding the hospital had given him. He had donated a pint of blood for Isabel, meeting all the requirements of a donor except for the nutritional aspect. As a donor, he was expected to have eaten a healthy, low fat, iron rich meal at least two hours before donating blood but apart from chamomile tea and a bagel for breakfast – and Cassie’s pussy for dinner – he hadn’t eaten anything. So after donating blood, he had stood up and immediately fell flat on his face. As the outstanding relative that Eliza was, she had taken multiple pictures of him, passed out before she had attempted to help. Luckily, after his head had collided

Isabel lay in the hospital bed with her head turned toward the window so that she could watch the sun rise. With the snowy weather outside, the sunlight was just barely managing to penetrate through, appearing as golden shards of light piercing out from fluffy grey clouds. It felt pleasing to look at something nice while her life was anything but. At the moment, looking at the sunrise was the only thing she could do that wouldn’t send her into a fit of panic.Shortly after Felix, Eliza, Cassie and the ICE officers had left the hospital the previous day, she had been visited by a police officer, Deputy Grayson. Isabel had known that it was the police’s job to investigate murder attempts but still, she had found it strange that they had thought it worth their while to try to figure out who had shot her. Wasn’t it another branch of the government that had come to her room just a couple of hours before, telling her how she was going to be deported?The police officers had given brief and

The beginning of the new year was the start of many new things. Cassie, the twins and Snowflake had all fully moved into Felix’s house, each adding their own form of personal touch to the place. The changes that came with all of them living together could be seen in the house and in their lives. Felix had had the closet in the mastered bedroom remodeled so that Cassie’s clothes would fit into it. The twins’ room that had once been blandly colored and sparsely decorated during their first nights there, had been transformed into an age appropriate setting, bursting with colors and toys for Aaron and Lily, complete with an enormous dog bed to accommodate Snowflake who had grown to the size of a baby pony and according to the vet, wasn’t even up to her full stature as a Tibetan Mastiff. To cater for the number of people that were now residing with him, Felix had gotten a car large enough to accommodate all of them at once comfortably. Eliza had harassed him about how whipped he was once s
