“Actually Nathan, I can’t have kids, it’s impossible”
“Oh that’s too bad, I guess you can’t have everything after all” he said coldly.
“What the fuck Nathan” said Marc stepping forward.
Nathan laughed “Relax Rambo, this is the way we communicate, right sis?”
“Marc you have that meeting at one, you should go” I said.
“Yeah Marc, and say hello to Pam for me” said Nathan “Actually we have to get going as well, but sis it’s been unreal seeing you like this. How about I come by your office next week to discuss things” he said.
“Alright, speak to my assistant” I replied.
“See you soon” he said and left taking the elevator down.
I began to hyperventilate and I lost my balance. Marc held on to me just before I was about to fall.
“Why the fuck does he want to meet you?” he asked.
“He wants money, he knows about us, and he will tell Rob if I don’t give it to him”
CHAPTER SEVEN
When I got home I took another shower and tossed everything I was wearing in the wash. Washed all the towels and the sheets, I didn’t want a hint of smell other than mine in the house.
I took a long bath, removed all my makeup, cleaned the kitchen tidied up and went to bed.
He’d be home around midnight and he was driving himself home form the airport.
While I was in bed I checked my messages. There was one from Victor and another from Pam.
Victor: “Guess who the new head designer of men’s wear is!!”
Me: “Congrats!!! I knew you could do it!”
Victor: “Can’t wait to see you this Friday!!”
Me: “J”
Pam: “I bet you can’t wait till Rob gets home tonight”
Me: “Yes I miss him so much”
Pam: “Well at least one of us is getting fucked tonight :/”
Me: “Wear something sexy, perfume, nothing to bed”
Pam: “Tried, tried and tried. He’s already asleep and its 10 o’clock!”
Me: “Wake him! Get on top of him, give him a blow job!”
Pam: “eww!”
Me:”??”
Pam: “Blow jobs are for hookers and desperate women”
Me: “I’m neither one of those my dear Pam”
Pam: “Oh lol…the other day he asked me to and I did, then he wanted me to swallow, I told him to fuck off”
Christ! I rolled my eyes.
Me: “Ok good night Pam”
Pam: “Eww I never knew that about you!”
Me: “I never knew you were such a prude”
Pam: “Fuck you! I love you, good night”
I cleared all my messages and turned off my phone. I knew I wouldn’t use it until Friday morning. That put a smile on my face.
I woke up later that night to my husband kissing me. His strong hands holding my face while his tongue was dancing inside my mouth. He was very sensual and he smelled phenomenal. I wrapped my arms around him and he was still wearing his suit “You should take this off” I whispered. He groaned. He took off his jacket but left his vest on, unzipped his pants and undid his belt. He sat on the bed looking beautiful waiting for me. I kissed him and put my hand inside his pants. He was hard and ready to go “I’ve missed you’ I whispered “Not as much as I’ve missed you Alexandra”
I took out his cock and sat on him, sliding it inside me. He grabbed my hips and I began to thrust on him, fast and deep. We were both moaning and loving it. “We sealed the deal for $25 billion” he exhaled.
“Oh my, that’s a lot more than you expected” I said going deep on him. He lifted me up still inside me, cleared the dresser tossing everything on the floor and sat me on it. Put my legs up over his shoulders and fucked me hard. “I owe you a vacation” he began, I was moaning uncontrollably “I’ve booked us a week in Cairo, in two weeks” said “What?” I exhaled “I cleared it with your assistant, it’s a done deal” he said pounding hard on me. “Rob” I screamed as I was about to come “Come for me baby” he groaned thrusting harder and deeper into me until we both climaxed together. I felt like I melted into the dresser, I was covered in sweat. He picked me up again and kissed me hard, turned me around and laid me down on the bed face down. He took off the rest of his clothes, grabbed my hips putting my ass up in the air and entered me again. He continued until 5am when he finally fell asleep with his giant arms wrapped around me. He looked so peaceful, so relaxed, letting go of all his work related stress. I was so glad he was finally home, I couldn’t live without him, and he was my everything. I watched him sleep until I eventually dozed off.
I woke up to Rob getting dressed. He had already showered. He wore a pair of beige slacks and an Armani navy golf shirt. “Where are you going? You look good enough to eat” I said.
“Meeting Marc for lunch, he picked up two kegs for me yesterday and he has them in the back seat of his car, so I figured I would at least take him out for lunch” he replied putting on his Rolex. My heart sank and my mouth went dry. Robert was friends with Marc because of Pam, however they only hung out together when we were around. Marc wasn’t the type of person or I should say a person with the social status that Robert would hang out with. Doing favors for each other was new.
“Why didn’t you just have them delivered?”
“Because, last time I saw Marc he offered to do this for me for the next time, so I took him up on the offer” he began.
“But don’t worry, I’ll be back soon for part two, unless you want to join us” he said.
I shook my head “That’s ok I’ll eat something here and take a long bath” I smiled.
“Um Rob, I didn’t want to tell you over the phone but I lent Pam and Marc five thousand dollars. I guess Marc’s brother cut back his hours and they were behind their mortgage plus they needed some car repairs”
He was looking in the mirror brushing his beautiful black hair, but didn’t say anything.
“I told them it was a loan, they are having marital problems over it” I added.
He put his comb down and looked at me with his piercing blue eyes, but I couldn’t read his facial expression.
He smiled “I was wondering what that was all about, I checked our financials while I was abroad”
“Oh, is something wrong?” I asked.
“No, nothing at all, I will see you later, I love you Alexandra” he said giving me a quick kiss on the lips and he was gone.
Other than the shopping spree I had with Pam on Saturday, the only money I spent was on the corporate credit card from my company and Rob had no access to that. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath “Alex, stop being so fucking paranoid”.
About two hours later I heard Rob’s Maserati pull up and another car with it. I looked out the window of our master bedroom and there was Rob with Marc opening the trunk of Marc’s car. Fuck!
I was wearing nothing but my bathrobe at this point. I closed the bedroom door and put on a pair of panties, my beige Benetton skirt and a black tank top. As I was pulling my tank down, my bedroom door opens. “Sorry I’m late, Marc had the rest of the day off, so we went to the liquor store to pick up some stuff for this Friday and we picked up a new barbeque. He’s going to help me set it up, shouldn’t take us more than a couple of hours” he gave me a hug and kissed me on the lips, my heart was raising and my mouth went dry again.
“Did you two have lunch?”
“No, we didn’t get to it, and I’m starving”
“I’ll make you something, how about some cold meat subs?
“That sounds great” he began “Anyway, why don’t you put your bathing suit on and come downstairs for a swim, the pool man came by this morning and already cleaned it”
I swallowed “I don’t own a suit, I have bikinis, remember?” And every single one of them is skanky.
“I don’t care, wear a wrap or something.” He said shrugging.
“Alright, well let me make lunch first and t
hen I’ll change”
He left the room, I took a deep breath and went downstairs.
As soon as I made it downstairs, Marc crossed my path. “Hey Alex” he said giving me a quick hug.
“Hey” I said and walked toward the kitchen. Rob was there standing over the granite counter, the exact same area Marc and I had our first encounter, looking over the instructions. I walked passed him patting his back. “These instructions are ridiculous” he muttered, just then Marc joins him and starts laughing. “Yeah, this is going to take all afternoon” he said and glanced over at me. I closed my eyes and turned the other way.
I opened the fridge and grabbed the cold meats, veggies, mayo, mustard and ketchup and set it on the island. Grabbed the second largest knife and cut the bread open. “What do you want on yours Marc?” I yelled out over the two of them talking. “Lettuce, tomato, mayo, and mustard please” he replied.
“Baby yours as usual?” I asked, but Rob didn’t respond. I looked back again to talk to Robert, and Marc was looking at me, I blinked and walked up to Rob, put my hand on his back “Baby?” I asked
“What is it?” he asked, his voice stern “Should I make yours as usual?” I spoke softly, he looked at me, and his eyes vacant “Yes” he finally said.
I quickly went back and made the sandwiches, as fast as I possibly could, put them on plates, opened a bag of chips and put some on the side, set the plates down near them and walked away. I raced upstairs put on a blue bikini I had with Hawaiian flowers, a blue wrap around my waist, grabbed my Vogue which I’ve been meaning to read since Saturday and my Jackie O Fendi sunglasses, went back downstairs and went outside, and sat as far away from them as possible.
I could hear them swearing and bitching over the instructions from where I was sitting, I went back inside to grab my iPod and when as I was going back outside, Marc was coming in and winked at me. I just walked on. I sat back on my recliner and turned the music all the way up.
About an hour had passed and I was nearly the end of my playlist and I was melting from the heat as the sun had moved and was beating over me. I looked at the boys and they only had the shell together. I was dying of heat and I needed to get in the water or I was going to burn badly. So I stood up, took off my wrap and jumped in the pool, I went under and stayed in there as long as I could. I came up for air and swam towards the boys. “You know you could have hired someone to do that for you” I remarked
“Alexandra please” replied Robert “Yeah where’s your faith on two more than capable men?” asked Marc smiling.
“Just saying, they make those instructions difficult on purpose, just so the buyer pays the retailer to put it together for them” I pointed out.
“Ok smart ass, if you have something to say, why don’t you come here and help us then” remarked Rob turning around to look at me, he was angry.
I stared at him intently and looked away went back under the water and got out, grabbed a towel, put it around me, grabbed my sunglasses, my Vogue and my iPod and started to walk back inside. Rob quickly got up and grabbed me by the arm pulling me toward him “I’m sorry” he said and kissed me deeply “I’m hot, I’m extremely annoyed, and I’m still jet lagged” he said looking into my eyes “Yeah ok” I said and smiled.
“Please don’t be angry with me”
“I’m not, but I’m going in, I’m going to get a sunburn out here if I stay” I said breaking free of his hold.
“We should be done shortly” he called out as I was making my way back inside.
I went upstairs and took a shower, I felt tired and mentally exhausted.
I put on one of Rob’s t-shirts and laid down, and eventually dozed off.
When I woke up, it had just began to get dark, I looked at my watch and it was 7pm, I sighed.
I looked outside and Marc’s car was still here.
I got dressed again and went back downstairs. Rob and Marc were outside in the back yard having beers and the kitchen was a mess. Burger meat in the sink, the cutting board had remnants of onions and tomatoes, and beer bottles all over the counter. I guess they finished the barbeque. Rob saw me from outside and called me to come out.
“Did you have a nice nap?” he asked grabbing my ass.
“Yes” I smiled.
“Come here”
He grabbed me and sat me on his lap, and he reeked of beer.
He grabbed my face and kissed me deeply and lustfully “Are you hungry?”
“No, I have a bit of a headache actually” I lied, I was dying to go back inside away from him and away from Marc.
“I was just telling Marc about the deal in London and our trip to Cairo”
“It’s quite something” I said looking at Marc.
“Indeed, you two are very lucky” he replied looking into my eyes.
“How’s Pam?”
“She’s good, we’re working things out, in fact she’s letting my mom look after the kids this Friday to Saturday which is a big deal, you know how she is, she trusts no one”
“Well then you should plan on staying here over night, so you two can let loose, we have five spare bedrooms, I’m sure a few will be staying” Rob piped in and I looked at him in shock.
“Maybe, I’ll talk to her” replied Marc.
“Don’t look at me like that, I’ll call the maid service to have the place cleaned on Sunday” said Robert looking back at me.
I raised my eyebrows and tried to get up but he held me down.
“Don’t leave, I haven’t seen you all week” Rob whispered sliding his hand too far under my skirt. I could feel Marc staring but I kept my eyes on Robert, feeling slightly humiliated yet thrilled.
“I should go” said Marc suddenly getting up.
“If you must, thanks for helping me out today buddy” said Robert.
“No problem, see you two on Friday”
“Bye, say hello to Pam for me” I called out.
He looked at me and smiled.
As soon as he was out the door, Rob slid his fingers inside my panties “You’re wet” he remarked almost accusingly “I was asleep waiting for you baby” I replied. He groaned, picked me up and took me upstairs.
CHAPTER EIGHT
The next morning, I woke up alone, there was a note on my night table on top of my cell phone.
“Alexandra, I’ve been called in for an emergency meeting over the London deal. I should be back before lunch, Love Robert”
I put the note aside and grabbed my phone, turned it on and waited for the messages to load.
Pam: Did Marc spend the entire day at your place?
Me: “Yes, he was helping Rob with the new BBQ”
Pam: “What time did he leave?”
Me: “Shortly after 7 I guess, why?”
Pam: “Ok, I didn’t believe him, now I’m gonna have to apologize...fuck!”
Me: “Lol, sorry, Rob held him hostage”
Pam: “K, see you tomorrow”
Marc: “How are you?”
Me: “You shouldn’t be texting me”
Marc: “He’s an arrogant prick Alex”
Me: “Goodbye Marc”
Marc: “I miss you, I hate seeing you with him”
Me: “STOP TEXTING ME!”
I waited and nothing. I cleared the messages and turned off the phone again.
After I cleaned up I went downstairs for breakfast. To my surprise Rob had cleaned up all evidence from last night. That was the thing with Rob, it wasn’t so much taking control over me but he would take control over everything and the one thing he hated the most was me being mad at him. So he always did his best to take care of things before that happened.
I poured myself some cereal and went outside to eat. The sun was shining and it was going to be another hot one today. It was only 9 am and the sprinklers were already going in our massive back yard. I hadn’t spent much time there this year. Rob hired new gardeners and they really knew what they were doing. Everything was blossoming and the fragrance of the flowers was int
oxicating.
The phone rang just then, and it was an unknown number.
“Hello”
“Hey Alex” said Marc
I sighed “what do you want?’
“I miss you”
“I’m hanging up now”
“Don’t do that, just talk to me, I know he’s gone”
“How you could you possibly know that?”
“Because his car is gone”
“Leave, you need to leave” I said getting up and headed toward the front window. I looked outside and there was no one there.
“My car is hidden at a vacant lot, two houses down from yours, it is well hidden, you can‘t see it from the road”
“I have no idea when he’s going to be home, and why aren’t you at work? Your brother is going to fire you” I reprimanded.
“I don’t give a fuck about my brother, stop wasting time and go out for a jog Alex”
I exhaled “You’re too much” I smiled.
He hung up.
Three minutes later I was out the door with my iPod. Jogging fast towards my lover.
The lots in my neighborhood were large and far apart from each other. They were all separated by large oak trees, bushes and flora. I kept going until I found the empty lot, I looked around and jogged down the long driveway toward the house that wasn’t built yet. There was heavy bush and gravel everywhere. Suddenly my hand was grabbed and pulled toward the bush on my right side. His lips were locked with mine, his hand on the back of my head and the other on my back holding me close. “I’ve missed you so much” he whispered kissing my neck and the side of my jaw “I couldn’t go another day without touching you” he said looking into my eyes. “What you wanna do it right here in the bush?” I asked mockingly.
“No, I just want to kiss you, be with you, and hold you Alex” he replied.
He knocked the wind out of me.
“Where’s your car?”
“It’s just behind the bush over there”
“Let’s go” I said reaching out for his hand.
When we sat in the car, we continued kissing, deeply and intensely. In a matter of days we went from naughty unadulterated sex to innocence. It was weird but it felt good, it felt right and for some reason the guilty feeling I had, was gone. It excited me to see him, he gave me butterflies when he was near, and my heart raced when he stared at me.
