Falling for Dr. Knight: A Falling Novel

by DL Gallie

  CRESS: What is your obsession with my ass?

  PRESTON: Have you seen your ass? How can I not be an ass man?

  A laugh breaks free at his reply and another evil thought once again appears. Pulling my one-piece up into my ass crack, I lean over the counter to enhance my ass, and quickly snap a pic.

  CRESS: **attaches photo**

  From where I’m standing, I hear Preston moan. Score one, Cress, I think to myself as I carry out the salad and plates. Placing them on the table, I wink at Preston and walk over to Lexi. “Let’s go wash up for lunch, Munchkin.”

  “Can I finish this episode first?”

  “Nope, hands now, missy.”

  “Fine,” she huffs.

  Turning off her iPad, she places it on the table and I follow her inside. We are in the bathroom washing her hands, when I think about what I did in here just a few moments ago, my cheeks darken and I shudder.

  Once our hands are sparkly clean, we grab some drinks and head back outside to join Preston. He’s dishing up and seeing him all domesticated causes another shiver to wrack through my body.

  “Mmmmm, smells great,” I say, as I push Lexi’s chair in.

  He winks at me and takes his seat, handing me my plate. Our fingers brush and an electrical current zaps through me, my already pulsing clit now throbs. I swallow a moan but Preston notices, he smirks at me and I mouth ‘asshole’ at him.

  After lunch, we laze in the kiddie part of the pool. The day has been amazing. Preston and Lexi get along like a house on fire, watching them together makes my heart happy. We have one final swim and then we head inside to clean up and watch a movie.

  Lexi and Preston are sitting on the sofa arguing over which Pony is the best. With a smile on my face, I leave them to it and set about loading the dishwasher and tidying up. It's only fair since Preston cooked.

  Closing the dishwasher, I step into the living room to join them and I stop mid-step. The scene before me is gorgeous and takes my breath away. My Little Pony is on the TV, Preston and Lexi are both on the sofa. He’s lying on the chaise and Lexi is snuggled into his side, his arm wrapped around her and both of them are sound asleep. Someone’s snoring and I think it might be my daughter. Clearly all the swimming took it out of them both.

  Grabbing my phone off the counter, I snap a photo and set it as my screen lock photo. I’ve just set it when my phone pings with a text.

  CREED: I’m at your place, where the fuck are you?

  CRESS: Out

  CREED: When will you be home?

  CRESS: Later

  CREED: I want to see Lexi. Get your ass home now

  CRESS: I’ll be home later. How about tomorrow?

  CREED: I want to see her now. Get the fuck back here now, bitch

  CRESS: We will be home later.

  CREED: You better be or I will see to it that she lives elsewhere

  CRESS: Don’t threaten me, Creed

  CREED: Or what? Huh?

  Shaking my head, I sigh in frustration. I know not to engage him otherwise we will just go round and round in circles. Him threating to take Lexi has really pissed me off but it’s also scared me, he’s never threatened that before.

  CRESS: We will see you tomorrow, Creed

  CREED: Make sure the squirt is ready when I get there

  Dropping my phone back onto the countertop, I rest my hands on the edge, lower my head, and sigh. My heart is racing right now. I know I’ve enraged Creed but he needs to know I’m not at his beck and call anymore…I just hope I haven’t pushed him too far.

  Preston

  After my little catnap with Lexi, I look over to see Cress sitting in the armchair. I lie here and watch her for a few moments, she’s deep in thought and I don’t like the look on her face. Carefully, I ease Lexi off me and I walk over to Cress. Sitting on the coffee table, I place my hand on her knee and she jumps six feet in fright.

  “Shit, Preston, you scared me.”

  “What’s wrong? You were so deep in thought you didn’t even see me walk over here.”

  “I’m fine.”

  I scoff, “Cress, when a woman says she’s fine, she is anything but. What’s happened?”

  She picks up her phone and hands it to me. Scrolling through the text thread, I read the messages from Creed, my blood boiling with each message I see. “He’s threatening you?” She nods at me. “Has he done this before?” She shakes her head. “Cress, are you worried?”

  She looks up at me and sadly nods, a tear cascades down her cheek. She looks so frightened right now. “Preston, he’s threatening to take Lexi from me, how can I not be worried? She’s my everything, Preston.”

  “I won’t let that happen,” I say.

  Standing up, I lift Cress up, sit down and place her on my lap. Hugging her tightly to me, her body shuddering with fear. Kissing her temple, I run my hand soothingly up and down her leg. Resting my head against hers, I ask, “Tell me what I can do.”

  “This works for now.” She snuggles farther into me.

  “What’s wrong, Mommy?” Lexi asks.

  We both look up to see Lexi staring at us.

  “Nothing, Munchkin, just snuggling,” Cress says, any hint of her fear hidden from her daughter. She really is a remarkable mom.

  “Can I snuggle too?” she asks.

  “I don’t think so,” Cress says, while at the same time I say, “Sure, come on up, Munchkin.”

  Cress lifts her head and looks at me, while Lexi takes the opportunity and climbs onto my lap too. She snuggles in and the three of us sit here in silence.

  “I like this,” Cress murmurs.

  “Me too,” I confirm, placing a kiss on her head.

  “And me, don’t forget me,” Lexi adds.

  “How could we forget you, Princess?”

  “You think I’m a princess?” she asks

  “All good little girls are a princess, right, Cress?”

  “Exactly,” Cress agrees. “I was a princess when I was your age too.”

  “What are you now, Mommy?”

  “A queen,” I reply.

  Cress lifts her head and stares at me, for the first time since I woke up, she smiles and it reaches her eyes.

  “Well, where’s my crown?” Lexi asks.

  Cress and I both laugh. “Well, we better do something about that then,” I say, “Next time I’m in the crown store, I’ll get you one.”

  “And one for Mommy,” Lexi says. “A queen needs a crown too.”

  “I will be sure to get two of their finest crowns.”

  “Good,” Lexi says. “Can I have a lollipop, Mommy?”

  “Of course, you can grab one from my bag.”

  She hopes off my lap and races away. I watch as she skips off, without a care in the world. Ohh to be five years old again. She returns with three lollipops and hands them to us. “Can you open this for me please, Dr. Preston?” she asks, as she climbs back onto me.

  “Of course, and you know you can just call me Preston,” I say, as I open the wrapper and hand it back to her.

  “I know,” she says matter-of-factly, “but you are my doctor friend.”

  “Can’t argue with that,” Cress adds, as she slides the candy into her mouth…my mind goes to dirty town and I remember that blowjob from the other morning. From the look in her eyes, she knows exactly what she’s doing.

  ‘Minx,’ I mouth to her.

  She shrugs and continues to suck the lollipop as if she was sucking my cock. My cock twitches, he feels each and every suck and lick. A low groan builds in the back of my throat.

  “Mommy, I think we are crushing Dr. Preston. We should hop off him. He groanded.”

  My eyes widen because if Cress hops off, my cock will be standing to attention and that’s the last thing I need, or want, Lexi to see.

  “It’s fine,” I say. “I like having you two in my arms.”

  They both nod. The three of us quietly sit here. The moment is perfect.

  “Wanna suck?
” Lexi asks, offering me up her lollipop.

  I shake my head side to side, “Thanks, but I prefer pink ones.”

  Cress scoffs and shakes her head.

  “I like pink ones too but I prefer purple ones,” Lexi says, popping the sucker back into her mouth.

  “How about you, Cress?” I look down at her. “What do you prefer to suck?”

  “I like hard purple ones,” she says, her eyes locked on mine as she says this. I subtly shake my head at her.

  “Me too, Mommy, can I get a hard purple one?”

  Cress and I both burst out laughing, not wanting to be left out, Lexi laughs too. This makes me laugh harder. “Who knew lollipops could be so funny?”

  “And dirty,” Cress quietly adds.

  Lexi hears the theme song to My Little Pony and she leaps off my lap, dives onto the sofa, and watches the TV intently. Completely forgetting about hard purple lollipops.

  “Wow, she really does love that show.”

  “You have no idea,” Cress replies.

  We hop up and join Lexi on the sofa. Cress snuggles into my side and Lexi snuggles into her. Absentmindedly I play with her hair, her body relaxes into me and I smile. She was so worked up earlier due to the messages from Creed, it’s nice to see her back to normal. But if I’m honest, those messages scare me. I know Cress is tough, but this Creed guy seems crazy and I fear for her and Lexi. I know she wants Lexi to see her father but if he’s like this, I think she’d be better off without him. It’s not my place to say anything so for now, I’ll bite my tongue but if things continue, I’ll step in. I care deeply for Cress and Lexi, and I won’t let anything happen to them.

  They have just left, I had such a great time today and Lexi is a little firecracker, but then again, Cress is her mom so I wouldn’t expect anything else. Popping the last of the dishes into the dishwasher, I turn it on and head into my bedroom and get ready for bed. I have a morning shift tomorrow so I need an early night.

  Lying down, I stare at the ceiling, sleep eludes me right now. My phone pings with a text, picking it up I smile when I see it’s from Cress.

  CRESS: Thank you for a wonderful day. Lexi and I had a great time

  PRESTON: My pleasure. I had a ball too. Look forward to doing it again

  CRESS: It? or me?

  PRESTON: You are such a minx, I’m pretty sure you know what I want to do

  CRESS: I may need a reminder

  PRESTON: Next time we are alone, I will show you **wink wink**

  PRESTON: PS. When can I get another tango lesson?

  CRESS: Soon, grasshopper, soon…you are my most favorite dance partner

  PRESTON: Well, YOU are my most favorite person when it comes to persons

  CRESS: Aww, you say the sweetest things. Nite, Preston

  PRESTON: Nite Nite, Queen Cress

  Placing my phone down, I hop up and grab my Mac. I quickly order a present for my two royal ladies. I wish I could be there when they open them, but if I know Cress, she will send me a pic. With a smile on my face, I drift off to sleep, happy and content. My life is pretty perfect right now, nothing can bring me down.

  Cress

  A few days after our amazing day at Preston’s, a package arrives addressed to Princess Lexi and Queen Cress. Popping it on the dining table, I decide to wait until Lexi is home from school and we will open it together. I’ve finished mopping the floors when there’s another knock at the door. Looking through the peephole, I sigh when I see it’s Creed on the other side.

  Opening the door, I put on a fake smile. “Hey, Creed.”

  “Dollface,” he replies, the sound of his voice grating on my nerves. “Where’s the squid?”

  “At school.”

  “Ohh, thought she’d be home.”

  “Creed, you know she finishes at 11:45 a.m.”

  “I have an idea as to what we can do to pass the time.” He winks suggestively at me.

  “Thanks, but no thanks.”

  “Are you turning me down again? A slut like you always wants a piece of this.” He grabs his junk and thrusts his hips toward me. “Come on, Dollface, it's been ages since I sank myself inside of your cunt.”

  “Creed,” I warn, and just like the other week, he steps inside. He backs me into the wall, I have nowhere to go. He rests his hands either side of my head and licks along my jawbone.

  “I forgot how good your skin tastes,” he says, sliding this pinky down my neck.

  Closing my eyes, I shudder and thankfully, a car door slamming in my driveway startles him and he pulls back. A few seconds later, Mom walks inside. Never have I been so thankful for her to pop in unannounced.

  “Cress, everything okay?”

  Nodding my head, I smile but I know Mom realizes it's fake. “Yeah, all good, Mom. I was just telling Creed that Lexi is still at school. I was about to offer for him to meet us at the park after I’ve picked her up, but you arrived before I could do that.”

  “Yes, it would be lovely for you to join us,” Mom says, her voice void of any emotion.

  “If she’ll be there,” he flicks his finger toward Mom, “I’ll pass.” He looks back at me. “Cress, you and I will fuck soon, there’s no stopping it. You know it as well as I do. Just give it to me and then everyone wins.”

  He turns on his heel and leaves. Mom slams the door behind him and I let out the breath that I was holding.

  “You okay, baby?” Mom says, stepping to me, she rests her hand on my arm; her touch instantly calms me.

  Nodding, I lie, “Yeah, I’m fine.”

  Pulling Mom into a hug, I hold on to her. My body shaking as the fear slowly fades. Mom hugs me back and whispers, “Please talk to me, sweetheart.” She pulls back and grips my cheeks in that mom way.

  “It’s fine, Mom. Creed is just being Creed.”

  She nods but she knows I’m lying, she also knows I won’t talk until I’m ready, but I don’t want to talk about this. Not now, not ever.

  It's fine.

  Everything will be fine.

  But even as I tell myself this, I know it's far from the truth. Creed Dawson is a mean, narcissistic son of a bitch at the best of times, and I have just severely pissed him off. This is now the second time I’ve rejected him, but it's the first time I have stood my ground with him. I hope I haven’t wakened the beast.

  Mom helps me finish cleaning the house and then we go pick Lexi up. Lexi is excited to see Mom with me and we stop off at the park, just like I suggested to Creed earlier. I keep expecting to see him here too, but at the moment, he’ll be fuming and pissed off. Lexi will be the last thing on his mind, and I’m grateful for that. Never before have I not wanted him to see her, but now I don’t want him anywhere near my daughter.

  The time at the park is a blur, I’m thankful Mom was with us. My mind wasn’t where it should have been, focusing on my daughter. If anything had of happened to her because I was lost in my head, I would never forgive myself. Lexi is my everything and I will do everything in my power to protect her, that’s my job as her mom and it’s a job I take seriously.

  When we walk in the door, Lexi immediately sees the box on the table. She points to it. “What’s that, Mommy?”

  “It’s a package for us,” I tell her.

  She squeals in delight. “I never get presents unless it’s my birthday or Christmas. What is it?”

  “I don't know, how about we open it and see?”

  “Yes!” she screams in excitement and races to the table, pulls out the chair, and climbs up. She drags the box to her and pretends to read the label. “What does it say, Mommy?”

  “It has our address on it and it’s addressed to, Princess Lexi and Queen Cress.”

  “That’s us. Dr. Preston called us Princess and Queen on the weekend.”

  “It might be from him then,” I tell her.

  “Let’s open it, let’s open it,” she squeals in delight, the sheer joy on her face is priceless right now.

  Pulling at the tape, we op
en the box. Lexi pulls back the flaps and her eyes widen. “Ohh, Mommy, I’m a real princess now.”

  Peeking over her shoulder, I see two plastic crowns. A smile graces my face and I shake my head. “Preston,” I murmur to myself.

  “Can we wear them?” Lexi excitedly asks, her body buzzing with excitement.

  “How about we have our shower and then we can?”

  “Okay…and can we call Prince Dr. Preston to say thank you?”

  “We can try but he might be at work.”

  “Deal.” She jumps down from the table and races into the bathroom. First time ever she hasn’t argued when I’ve told her to have a shower.

  An hour later, we are both freshly showered, in our pajamas, and wearing our crowns. The lasagna is in the oven warming and we are watching, surprise, surprise, My Little Pony.

  “Can we call Prince Dr. Preston?” Lexi asks as the cartoon comes to an end.

  “Sure,” I say. Leaning forward I grab my phone and bring up Preston’s contact details.

  “Can we Face call instead?”

  “We can try.”

  Lexi settles on my lap and we call Preston. He answers immediately and I smile when I see he’s shirtless, his chest glistening with sweat. “Thank you, Prince Dr. Preston, I love my crown,” Lexi says before he can even say hello.

  “You are most welcome, Princess Lexi. You look beautiful.”

  “What about Queen Mommy?”

  “Queen Cress is also beautiful.”

  “Why thank you, Prince Preston,” I say, bowing my head down. He winks at me and even though I’m in my nightie wearing a plastic crown, I do feel beautiful. The hungry look in Preston’s eyes sets my insides ablaze.

  “No, Mommy, he’s Prince Dr. Preston.”

  “Ohh, I’m sorry, thank you, Prince Dr. Preston.”

  “I’ll let it slide just this time since you both look stunning in your crowns.”

  The oven beeps and Lexi wriggles in my lap. “Dinner’s ready. Bye,” she says, jumping down from my lap.
