THE FAMILY ESTATE AND THANKSGIVING: CHAPTER 11: An Unexpected Meeting

YVETTE (1) It is several degrees warmer than it was back home when we touch down at the Manhattan airport. Thankfully, Rosetta mentioned a beach being close to her family house. Perfect for Thanksgiving Dinner.The car pulls up to the sprawling beach house on the beach just as the sun dips low over the Pacific. Rosetta’s family estate is ridiculously large with stories of glass and white stone, and a private beach access. For one, I’m glad I chose to come here for Thanksgiving Dinner rather than spend the holiday with my newly married mother and her husband. The last thing I want to walk in on is both of them humping away on the couch. Ew. I step out with my duffel bag, inhaling deeply as the salty air hits me. Rosetta steps up beside me, grinning. “Welcome to Thanksgiving hell, Yvette. Try not to die of boredom.”I laugh, hoping that she is merely joking. I didn’t leave the bustling city to come and snooze away at a place like this. “By the time I change out of these sweats,

CHAPTER 12: Stolen Glances

YVETTE (2) All those feelings I buried, including the passion and the hunger, the way he used to make me come so hard I saw stars…For fucks sakes, he is married now to my best friend’s sister and I am here as a guest. I swore he was dead to me after months of no-contact. But here, watching his muscles rippling beneath that tropical shirt, realization hits me smack-dab in the face:I still want him. ***The long dining room is set with crystals and fresh flowers and it is the only thing between me sliding my fingers onto Marcus who is seated opposite me. Elena jostles around the table to refill wine glasses and she’s laughing at every joke, bursting with joy. The perfect, completely distracted hostess. It’s a good thing. She doesn’t need to see the tension every time me and her husband, my runaway ex, look at each other. I try to focus on the food but my pulse is already racing. Meanwhile, Rosetta is on my left, chatting animatedly with her cousin. I smile every now and then

CHAPTER 13: Unfinished Cravings

YVETTE (3) As the night wears on, Rosetta texts me that she’s heading to a bonfire party down the beach with some old high school friends. “Come if you want,” she writes. I just replied that I’m tired and will see her tomorrow.That’s a lie. The truth is, I’ve been restless since what Marcus said to me. Hell, since I came here and saw him. I pour myself another glass of wine and slip out onto the balcony overlooking the ocean. The cool night air feels too good against my sensitive skin. I lean on the railing to try to steady my breathing and forget the way that Marcus looked at me during dinner.Or the deliberate way he brushed against my body in the kitchen.Or perhaps I’m over thinking it?“Fuck,” I whisper to the ocean. “This is harder than I thought.”Hearing footsteps behind me, I turn around to see the man I’ve been trying to avoid. He’s holding two glasses of whiskey. “Elena went to bed early cos of a headache and the rest of the relatives have gone back to their condo

CHAPTER 14: The First Forbidden Taste

YVETTE (4) The sky is still dark when I slip out of the house at 5:16 a.m. I could not sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I felt Marcus’s fingers under my dress on the balcony. The way he pressed against my soaked panties and whispered my name like he used to in the past. I need air. Barefoot and wearing only a thin oversized sweater and panties, I walk down the private path to the beach. The sand is cold and damp under my feet, doing absolutely nothing to cool this hunger inside me. The sounds of waves crashing softly fills the air around me. No one else is awake yet. Even perfect. I walk towards a small cluster of boulders that creates a natural alcove hidden from the main beach. Letting my back press against one, I close my eyes and drag much needed air in. The silence is broken by another’s footsteps on the sand. Approaching me. It’s Marcus. He’s wearing sweatpants and a hoodie with his hair messy like he barely slept either. He stops a few feet away with his hands i

CHAPTER 15: Breaking The Rules

YVETTE (5) The dawn breaks when I’m in bed lying awake with my toy right by my head. I tried to use it but my body still craves the man I should not. Somehow, I manage to put it away and get myself prepared for the day. Some of Rosetta’s cousins spoke about wanting to visit the local market and we all agreed. By the time the day is over, I clap myself on the back for being around Marcus and not even sparing him a single glance. It’s better this way, I say to myself. The day breezes by very fast and soon it’s midnight. The house is finally very quiet. I’m laying in my room as the memories of Marcus brushing my thighs during dinner and what we did on the beach crashes through me. 1:47 a.m. I push a pillow between my legs when the door clicks open and Marcus slips inside. I jump up from my position. “What are you doing here?” I hiss. “This is risky and you know it. What if someone sees you?”He moves toward me without a sound, not even bothering to turn on the light. He’s bar

CHAPTER 16: Risky Daytime Filth

YVETTE (6)I jerk awake to the sound of my door opening and see Rosetta standing there with her jaw hanging open. “What are you doing?!”Shit. In panic, I toss my head to the side, horrified that we’d been caught in our dirty secret but when I look, Marcus is nowhere to be found. He has somehow… vanished. Thankfully. She saunters into the room. “You spent the night naked? Bro, if I tried it, my tits would freeze and fall off.”That was close. “Yeah, right?” I force a laugh, trying to be modest by covering my breast spilling free. “Except I was really hot at night.”Really. “Did you have a nightmare?” “Please, this isn’t a haunted house. I slept late after being up all night.”“Indeed. You were really working that shit, weren’t you?” She waved my vibrator in the air. “Drop that right now!” I hiss, half-amused, half-anxious. “Anyone could walk in here and see that, Rosetta.”“Gee, okay.” She set it down on the bed. “I just came to let you know about lunch. You looked very tired

CHAPTER 17: The Pull of Temptation

YVETTE (7)Rosetta is sitting on her towel by the time I return. She looks up at me. “Where have you been?” she asks, squinting against the sun. “You disappeared for like twenty minutes.”I plop down beside her on my towel, feeling Marcus’s warm cum still leaking out of me, slowly soaking my bikini. “Just needed to rinse off,” I say, trying to keep my voice steady even though my heart is beating fast. “The sun was getting to me.” “Oh, okay.” She nods and begins a conversation about her new job she’s about to resume after the holidays. I sit there as the truth dawns on me; I’m falling for Marcus again. And I don’t know how to stop. ***Elena calls our attention, still looking vibrant like we hadn’t been playing frisbee for an hour straight. “It’s dinner and game night, guys. Who’s ready?” I look at her in awe. “Where does she even get all that energy?”Rosetta gives a silent scoff. “While the rest of us look like we could drop, she doesn’t care about any of that. My sister is un

CHAPTER 18: Behind The Closed Cellar Door

YVETTE (8)The wine cellar is cool and dim with the thousand rows of bottles on display. It’s going to take a while before we find the perfect one. Marcus reaches out to a bottle, looks at it briefly and indicates, “This is the one.” “That was fast.” I said, smirking at him.He sets it down somewhere safe, coming over to me. “That’s just for precaution. We can take the time now to do other things instead.” The moment the heavy door clicks shut, he spins me around and slams me against the stone wall. His mouth crashes into mine filled with desperate hunger of the hours we spent apart trying to pretend we’re just innocent guests. Not lovers. It is torture watching Elena put her hands all over him and boldly stake her claim, while I have to wait at night for him to come to me. And if he doesn’t, it means my vibrator ends up with a low battery the next morning. I moan into the kiss as his hands shove my sundress up to my waist. Rather than bother with my panties, he yanks them to

CHAPTER 19: Girls’ Night Confessions

YVETTE (9) Right after dessert, the dining room clears up and Rosetta rises to her feet with an empty glass in her hand.She clinks it with a dessert spoon. “Girls only, to the pool house. Now. No, boys.”One of the men I recognize as Rosetta’s cousin clicks his tongue. “Sucks for you all. Men are fun to be around.”“Right,” says a lady with dark blonde hair as she flips him off. Elena laughs and grabs another bottle of rosé, one that Marcus had gone to fetch alone. “I’m in,” she says. “Sophia, Lila, Chloe, Isabella. Don’t think you’re all excluded on this.” A younger brunette speaks up. “I have to sleep early, Lena. How about you fill me in on the details tomorrow?”She looks like the youngest of us. “Not tonight, Sophia. You’re not ditching us for this one,” another blonde interrupts. I think her name is Lila. We walk across the lawn to the pool house. It is a sleek glass building with low lights and it grants us a splendid view of the ocean. I find out Sophia, the brunette,

CHAPTER 20: Desires And Consequences

YVETTE (10)The next morning, I’m up early and on the patio with a mug of coffee in hand. The whole house is still deep asleep when Rosetta finds me there. She sits across from me in her sleep shorts with a serious but gentle expression. Without a doubt, I recognize that she’s about to have another one of her boring conversations. Probably about last night.“Are you okay?” I ask, feigning ignorance. “Not really. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about what you said during girls’ night. About Marcus and him possibly cheating.”I take a slow sip of the burning liquid, keeping my face calm. “I was just saying the truth about men. They can’t be trusted. No one can vouch for them.”She rubs her face. “I know. But this is Marcus we’re talking about. You see for yourself how entirely devoted he is to her.”Indeed. “I see that. It doesn’t hurt to warn her to be cautious regardless.”She sighs, rubbing her temple. “Give me some of that.” After a sip from my mug, she continues. “Elena i
