A J. S. Cooper Box Set

“Would it be too hard to see your whore with her husband?” She laughed. “Or would it be harder to see the disappointment in her eyes when she figured out the truth. You’re just as big a jerk as she thought you were.”
“You’re a bitch.” I shook my head and turned away from her. “I’m going out.”
“Where.” She touched my back and my body instinctively flinched. I couldn’t even hide my distaste for her anymore.
“None of your business.” I scowled, and I walked to the door. I made the mistake of looking back at her and she looked sad.
“Did you ever love me?” she whispered and a part of me felt broken inside as I replied.
“No. Never.” I shook my head and hurried out of the door and to my car.
* * *
I caught a cab to Jessie’s apartment without thinking. Traffic was bad as it always is in New York and I tried not to think about Saskia. These were the only times that I actively tried not to think about her. Jessie and I had been sleeping together for the last two years. It wasn’t anything I was proud of and I didn’t love her, but she fulfilled a need. Don’t judge me. I’m a man. I like sex. I do what I have to. I’m not saying that I’m perfect. I’m just saying that I’m me. I didn’t have to buzz once I got to her apartment. I already had a key to Jessie’s place. I walked in quickly; I was always scared that Saskia would see me with Jessie. Especially now that they had met. I didn’t want Saskia to know about our arrangement. I wasn’t sure how she’d take it.
“You’re early.” Jessie walked out of the bedroom wearing a pair of boy shorts and a tank top. I could tell she had no bra on as her nipples were poking out.
“Needed to get out.” I shrugged.
“I don’t know why you don’t just leave that bitch.” Jessie walked up to me and kissed me on the lips as she pressed herself against me.
“The time isn’t right.” I shook my head and ran my fingers to her breasts and squeezed. “I told you that already.”
“You’ve told me a lot of things.” She rolled her eyes and flung her blond hair across her shoulders. She was pretty in her own way. Not the way I liked. She wasn’t Saskia, but she knew what I liked.
“So, my attorney said that Aiden isn’t going to take the agreement.” She pouted as her fingers reached down the front of my pants.
“He’ll come around.” I comforted her and closed my eyes as her fingers came into contact with my cock and squeezed.
“He better. I need the money.”
“And he has the money.”
“Yeah, but he doesn’t want to part with it. Thank God, I got him and Dominic to do threesomes.”
“Hmm.” I remained silent. That had never been a part of the plan. If I had known that Jessie was going to go rogue, I never would have used her to help me out.
“I know that you didn’t want things to get too complicated, but I’ve got to do what I’ve got to do.”
“It’s fine.” I pulled her tank top off and stared at her naked breasts. “I don’t want to tell you what to do.” I leaned forward and took her nipple in my mouth and sucked. I didn’t want her asking too many questions. She couldn’t know my ultimate plan and goal. In fact, she already knew too much. I was scared that if she found out everything it would be over. She didn’t know that I knew Tom. She didn’t know that I knew and loved Saskia. There were so many pieces of the puzzle that I needed to come together, yet I couldn’t let any of them know.
“Come.” She moaned and grabbed my hand. “Let’s go to the bedroom.”
“I can’t stay long,” I muttered as we walked to the room. I knew that she expected cuddling after sex, that’s what she liked, but I couldn’t give her that. I didn’t want intimacy from her. I just wanted sex.
“You can never stay long.” She pushed me down on the bed and pulled my pants down. I grinned at her aggressiveness. When Jessie was horny, she had no problem taking charge. I watched as she pulled off her boy shorts and panties. Her hands came to my cock and she rubbed and tugged it for a few seconds before I handed her a condom. She slipped it onto me and then got on top of me, sliding down on my hardness eagerly. We both groaned as I filled her up and she started rocking back and forth. I lay there and let her ride me. I suppose you’re disappointed in me. Women are always disappointed by the truth. In a fairy tale, I’d be celibate and saving myself for Saskia. I wouldn’t be able to get hard for anyone that wasn’t her. Like Saskia told you before, this isn’t a fairy tale and I’m no Prince Charming. The sooner you realize that the better. I’m not even close to being a top-notch guy. I’m not going to lie. I do love Saskia, but I’ve done shit. And yeah, I enjoy fucking Jessie. She’s got a tight little body and she has no inhibitions. She lets me do whatever I want and she also does whatever she wants. It’s nice to have a woman take control. I’ll tell you this though, once I have Saskia, l’ll be done with Jessie. Once I have Saskia, I won’t need anyone else. Once I have Saskia, I’ll be free to live my life as I really want.
“Don’t stop.” I grabbed Jessie’s hips as she gyrated on me. “I’m close to coming.” I grabbed her and pushed her down on the bed and onto her knees. I slapped her ass hard before entering her from behind. She screamed out as I plunged into her hard and fucked her. This was how all our lovemaking ended, she thought it was because I loved doggie style so much, it was really so I didn’t have to see her face. When I fucked her from behind, I could pretend she was Saskia. She moaned as my cock pounded her and I pulled out and pulled my condom off so I could come all over her ass. I grinned to myself before collapsing onto the bed. Jessie hated me coming on her, but I loved it so I didn’t give a shit. Let her clean my cum off of her.
“Hey,” she moaned. “I didn’t come.”
“Play with yourself.” I shrugged and sat up.
“Always the gentleman.” A dry voice spoke from the doorway and I froze.
“Dominic,” I nodded as I stared into his face. “What are you doing here?”
“I came to see my favorite girl.” He grinned. “Or should I say our favorite girl.”
“I didn’t think you and Jessie were still seeing each other, now that you’re married.” I frowned.
“Old habits are hard to break.” He shrugged. “You should know that.” He walked into the room. “You still need to meet my wife and son.” He grinned as he loosened his tie and walked toward the bed.
“Yes, I suppose I do.” I jumped off of the bed. I had to avoid the meeting. I couldn’t afford for Saskia to find out.
“I think she’ll be pleased to meet my cousin,” he continued. “Seeing as I can’t really have her around my dad, fear of them fucking and all.”
“Yeah.” I nodded and looked away. The last thing I wanted Saskia finding out was that Dominic was my cousin. If she found that out, it would be all too soon before all my other secrets came pouring out and I couldn’t afford for that to happen. Not ever. I had to have Saskia. I had to move to plan two, and I had to do it now. Time was running out. I told you before that I’m willing to do anything to get Saskia. I didn’t tell you exactly how far I’ve already gone. That I’ll save for a later date when I know you a little better.
Chapter 28
To say my life is complicated is an understatement. My life is a lot more than complicated. It’s fucked up. Maybe even more fucked up than Saskia’s life. Maybe that’s why we’re so perfect for each other. We’re both as crazy as each other. Though I don’t know that that’s a good thing. I couldn’t believe that she had married Dominic. I wondered if it turned her on in a way to know that I was so jealous; even though I knew she loved me. Some part of me wondered if he knew, but I was pretty sure he wouldn’t be cool with me if he knew everything. It felt weird standing in front of him, listening to him talking about his wife, while I planned on making her my wife. Yes, I needed to sort out my life first. And that included divorcing Natasha as soon as possible. She’d be hard to get rid of, but I was willing to do whatever it took to get out of my marriage to her. I
only lived for one thing and that was being with Saskia. I’d gone to great lengths to keep Saskia single. My plan had always been to marry her. And I knew the only way that could happen would be if she remained single. It killed me to know that she was married to Dominic. He’d gone and fucked everything up. I didn’t even care that Tom had fucked her. I mean I cared, of course, I cared, but I was able to ignore it. I knew she would never marry Tom. Even though, he would have died for her. It puzzled me that she never realized just how much Tom loved her. How could she be so blind?
“So what do you say to dinner, Brad?” Dominic asked me and I shook my head.
“I don’t want to meet your wife. I’m not sure I can look her in the face, knowing you’re already fucking another girl.”
“Eh, she wouldn’t care.” He shrugged. “She knew I was fucking Jessie, and she still married me.”
“She knew you were still fucking her or had fucked her?”
“Guys, I’m here. I’m not just a piece of meat.” Jessie interrupted us and we both looked at the bed. Jessie was lying on her back with her legs spread and her fingers rubbing her clit. “Anyone want to assist me here?” She moaned and I saw Dominic giving me a look.
“Go ahead.” I shrugged. “I gotta leave anyway.”
“You’re leaving?” Jessie made a face, and I rolled my eyes. As if she cared if I left.
“I already told you I couldn’t stay long.”
“You’re a pig.” She glared at me and I laughed.
“You’ll get over it.”
“I’m surprised your wife hasn’t left you as yet.”
“I wish she would.” I laughed bitterly and nodded at Dominic. “Have fun, man. I’ll see you later.”
“Later, man.” He wasn’t looking at me at all as I walked out of the door. I needed to make a call, but I didn’t want to. I didn’t want to talk to him. I didn’t want to acknowledge what I’d done, but I had to make sure he kept his mouth shut.
“Hello.” His voice sounded happy, as if he didn’t have a care in the world.
“Hey, Uncle Aiden, it’s me.” As you know from Saskia’s diary, his real name wasn’t Aiden. However, I’m not going to tell you his real name either. He’s way too rich and powerful for that. You’d most probably know his name if I told you. He’s known in the media as a happily married man; I guess you know why he’s so happily married.
“Brad?” He sounded surprised. “I haven’t heard from you in a while.”
“I just saw Dominic.”
“Oh, that’s good.”
“He’s married to Saskia.” My voice was accusing. “What the fuck is up with that?”
“She ended it with me.”
“She caught you and Dominic fucking Jessie.”
“Don’t mention Jessie to me, do you know that slut tried to sue me? Tried to blackmail me and tell me she’d go to the newspapers with her story if I didn’t give her a million dollars.”
“What did you say?”
“I just let her know I’d release all the videos we’ve made. And let’s just say we’ve made many. She won’t come across as looking like anything but a major slut. She’d be finished in this town.”
“Don’t you think that’s a bit hypocritical?”
“Do you think I care?”
“I guess not.”
“What did you want, Brad?”
“You weren’t meant to leave Saskia. You knew the deal. You weren’t meant to let her get married.”
“Things got complicated.” He sounded irritated. “What are you going to do?”
“You knew the deal when you met her. You knew the deal when you helped me take care of my situation”
“Life changes. Her time as my mistress was done.”
“Uncle Aiden, you knew the deal when I mentioned her to you. I never would have told you about her if I thought you’d renege on the deal.”
“What do you want, Brad?” He was getting angry. “I’m the one that helped you when you fucked up. You should be thanking me.”
“I didn’t give you twenty percent of my shares in the company for you to just give her up and dump her on Dominic.”
“She was disrespecting me, Brad. I don’t waste my time with women that disrespect me.”
“How was she disrespecting you?”
“She had men in the apartment while I wasn’t there. I’m even sure there were a couple of times that there were men in the apartment while I was there. I wasn’t giving her ten grand a month to be every man’s whore.”
“You weren’t giving her ten grand a month from your own money. You were giving her ten grand a month from the money I gave you. You were fucking around with Jessie and who knows who else as well. Don’t bloody try that bullshit with me.”
“What can I say? It is what it is and we’re done.”
“You need to get her and Dominic to break up.” My voice was angry. Setting up my uncle with Saskia was the worst move I’d ever made. I know, I know, what was I thinking? I’ll tell you what I was thinking. I was thinking that if I set my uncle up with her (unbeknownst to Saskia, of course) that would mean she’d remain single and she wouldn’t have the opportunity to meet a nice guy who might actually want to make things official with her. I knew my uncle would never leave his wife. She was the money behind his whole business and she wasn’t about to let him go. No matter how fucked up in the head she was. I thought it was the perfect solution at the time. I couldn’t have Saskia, but it allowed me to make sure she was with someone that it wouldn’t get very serious with. I’d used the inheritance my grandparents had left me to pay Aiden each month. He gave Saskia her monthly “salary” and paid her rent for her. Of course, she thought it was all from him. She thought he was her sugar daddy. She didn’t know he was a cheap ass. Everything had been going well until Dominic had hit the scene.
“What I don’t understand is how Dominic met Saskia. It just seems very coincidental.”
“Nothing’s coincidence, you know that Brad.” Aiden’s voice was husky. “I knew that I was ready to move on. I didn’t know Dominic would be so foolish as to fall for her.”
“So he loves her?”
“What do you think?”
“You need to break them up. I don’t care how you do it, but they need to get divorced.”
“Listen to yourself, Brad. Are you really that obsessed? Do you really think that I’m going to break up my son’s marriage?”
“You’re a jackass.”
“It must run in the family. She’s a pretty girl, beautiful even, and she’s dynamite in bed. Why would I make my son leave her? He’ll leave when he’s good and ready.”
“I’ll make him leave if you won’t.”
“Good luck with that. Oh, and Brad.”
“Yes?”
“Lose my number and don’t call me again. I should have told you to fuck off when you approached me all those years ago with the name of a girl you knew would be down to be my mistress. I never asked you why you wanted me to be with her so badly and I never asked you why you wanted monthly updates on her. But I know now that she’s related to that lady you killed. The one you said had the accident. I took care of that for you, but I’m done with you now. I don’t know if I should tell Dominic about you or turn you into the FBI because I think you’re some sort of sick motherfucker. I’m not going to do either right now, but if I hear from you again or if Dominic tells me you’re trying to cause trouble, I will fuck you up. And I will tell Saskia how I happened to be in that bar the night that we met.” And then he hung up.
I sat there with my fists clenched. Everything was spinning out of control. I didn’t know what to do. Most people would say that now was most probably the time to step back. I mean, I was up shit’s creek without a paddle and the alligators were on their way to get me. I had no idea what to do. It seemed as if Saskia and I were doomed.
However, I loved Saskia. My heart beat for her and her alone. I couldn’t imagine living the rest of my days on the earth without her. I had
to take drastic measures. Only I wasn’t sure what to do. I knew that she wouldn’t trust me if she knew I was the guiding force behind her relationship with Aiden and even I knew how fucked-up it was that I got my uncle to date her and now she was married to my cousin.
It was a Jerry Springer kind of fucked-up. It was the kind of fucked-up that made people never talk to you again. It was the sort of fucked-up that sparked violence in some people. I couldn’t afford for Saskia to find out. I couldn’t afford for her to know I’d killed the grandmother that had pimped her out. She wouldn’t understand the rage I’d felt. Only three other people knew: Aiden, Natasha, and one other. Unfortunately, there was one of them I trusted to give away my secret if I didn’t give her what I wanted.
But I needed to be with Saskia and my son. To know that the fruit of my loins was out there and being raised by another man was almost too much to take. I knew that I was having irrational thoughts when I was standing in front of the building Saskia now lived in with Dominic. I sat in my car and stared at the doormen and wondered how easy it would be to get into the building, blindfold Saskia and kidnap her. I sighed when I realized I didn’t have a mask or a scarf to put on myself or Saskia. I was starting to think crazy thoughts. I couldn’t kidnap her. That just wouldn’t be okay. I couldn’t kidnap her. I just couldn’t. A small part of me didn’t care though. A small part of me wanted to run inside of that building, grab her and never look back.
“Hello?” I grabbed my ringing phone without looking at the screen.
“Why are you outside my building?” Saskia’s voice was low, and I felt my heart melting at the sound of her voice.
“What are you talking about?” I muttered.
“You’re standing outside of my building.”
“No, I’m not.” I shook my head in denial and then laughed as I realized she couldn’t see it. “I’m not.”
“You are.” She laughed and then there was a tap on my shoulder. I looked to the side and there she was. My beautiful Saskia.
“What are you doing here?”
