So I had a heart to heart with Jessica and laid down the rules of engagement if you will. She wasn’t too happy about that and from the shit she was saying as I left, I got the idea that she hadn’t given up on her dream of her and I having a happy little family together.
She brought up Alexandra but I shut her down before she went too far. No way in hell was I going to discuss my woman with her. I finally admitted to myself that I was pissed that she was going to have my kid. It’s the reason I’d always used protection with all the women I took to my bed in the past. I didn’t want just anyone bearing my seed. A fuck was one thing, my progeny quite another. The fact that I never once thought of putting on a rubber with Alexandra says a lot.
I probably should care how Jessica felt carrying my child while I was in love with someone else and had no plans on leaving her, but I didn’t have it in me to be such a damn hypocrite. I hated like fuck that she had any part of me, and was not looking forward to the next eighteen years of having to deal with her.
Alexandra had once made the comment that I didn’t know Jessica, but I knew enough. Nothing I couldn’t handle. As long as she kept her shit away from Alexandra we were all good.
Her latest call was just a few short hours ago when she called to invite me to dinner to talk. I guess her many trips to my office where she was repeatedly turned away had finally gotten to her. I declined of course. Because I like my balls just where they are, and the hellion had threatened them with grave harm if I even looked in Jessica’s direction without her there.
She was afraid a lot and trying to hide it from me, but I knew her too well. She was trying to be brave and mature, but she couldn’t hide the fact that each time the child was mentioned it broke her heart.
There was nothing in the world I could do about that, so I tried even harder to give her all of me. It seemed to be working for now and I mean to keep it that way. I just need to keep that she witch at arm’s length until after the baby was born, and then we’ll see what needed to be done.

Alexandra
I should’ve known that something like this would happen. It’s always been this way in my life. First my mom, then my dad and stepmom. Everyone I love is always taken from me. Now I’m going to lose Solomon just when we found each other as lovers. It’s just not fair.
I don’t know how much longer I can keep up this front, of bravery, but I’ll do it for him, even though I feel like I’ve already lost. Those few weeks we had in the beginning will always be my most cherished memories. That was the only time I had him all to myself. No matter what happens now, I’ll always be sharing him with her and her child.
It’s mean and I’ll probably burn in hell for thinking it, but I hate them both. I don’t want to share him with anyone, he’s mine-he’s always been mine, since I was eleven years old and he held me that first time while I wept for my dad.
He didn’t know it, but my young impressionable heart had fallen at his feet way back then. Of course I loved him with an innocent love. It was enough just to be close, to do everything together. Back then he kept his women away from the house and it was a while before I knew he even dated.
I remember the fit I had that first time after picking up the phone and the female on the other end was cooing some not so innocent things into his ear. I’d ran down to the garden and beat my hands against the dirt until they bled. It was the only way I knew how to release the pain.
Solomon took one look at me as I came in and whatever plans he’d had with that loose woman were forgotten as he took me up the stairs and took care of me himself. I’m ashamed to say that after that incident I tried the same stunt in different variations from time to time.
I’m not sure he ever caught on, but I started to feel guilty the older I got and the shame was more than I could stand so I stopped. It was the fact that he gave so much without question, and here I was sabotaging his life. I was smart enough to know there could never be anything between us. From all the talk I heard around the school yard, I knew that men and women did things that little girls had no business even knowing about.
So instead I held my dreams in my heart, looking forward to the day when I would be old enough for him to notice me. It wasn’t easy having to pretend that I liked his girlfriends, and I lived in constant fear of him marrying one of them. But one innocent question to grandma had put my fears to rest. I’d simply asked had she met the latest girlfriend, I think I was fourteen or fifteen at the time.
Her answer that he’d only introduce the girl he was going to marry to his family and that no she’d never officially met any of the women he’d dated since he became a man, had lightened my heart considerably.
Of course after that I kept a close eye on his affairs and until Jessica I never felt that fear in the pit of my gut again. I could tell that he was fond of her, if not that he was ready to start a family of his own. The old me reared her ugly head and I was willing to do anything to take him away from her.
I didn’t know the first thing about winning a man’s affections, and so one day I broke down and told grandma what had been in my heart forever. Of course she shot down the idea, but she didn’t dash all hope. She was right, I was too young, but I was afraid that if I waited much longer Jessica would get her hooks into him and I’d be left all alone again.
Had Jessica been a better person I maybe would’ve felt an ounce of remorse for going after her man, but I’d seen her true face once too often. Like the way she’d sneer and bully me when Solomon wasn’t in the room, but once he returned she’d be all smiles again and showing an interest in how I was doing in school.
She was forever treating me like a child in front of him, like any seventeen year old wanted to be patted on the head and spoken down to like she was an imbecile. I hid my hate of her well, but I’d followed grandma’s rules, I’d done as she asked and my year was almost up.
That’s when we came up with the plan to seduce him, starting with the night of my birthday party. Everything I’d done since then had led to this. We were happy, he loved me as more than just the orphan he’d taken in. He loved me as a woman, his woman. Being with him was ten times better than I’d ever imagined, and I had no doubt we would’ve gone on to have a happy life if not for her.
Now I was trapped in the house alone with her. If I didn’t know better, I’d swear she’d been watching to see when Solomon left to make her move. He’d barely cleared the driveway when she showed up. The staff had already gone since we were having dinner with his mom, and he’d left on a last minute errand while I was supposed to be getting dressed for the night.
“I told you he’s not here, maybe you should call him.” Like you do every damn hour. You’d think she was the first woman to carry a child the way she carries on. She’s not even showing yet and already her demands are mounting.
“Actually, I’m here to see you.” She moved around the room running her hands over the expensive antiques like she was pricing them for auction.
“Me, why?” She hadn’t said anything as yet but I was pretty sure she had to know that we were now a couple. The whole town knew for crying out loud. Was she here to tell me to back off? I’d thought of that once, for all of two seconds.
I didn’t want to deprive his child of his love having experienced it myself first hand. But I had no doubt he could love the child well enough if he weren’t married to the mother which I’m sure is what she was after.
“You are taking up too much of Solomon’s time. With the baby coming I need him at my side. You’re a big girl you can take care of yourself. Surely you can see how your clinging to him like a lovesick puppy is making it hard for him to be there for his child.”
Each word was like a dagger in my heart but I didn’t let it show. I had no answer for her so kept my mouth shut. I know what Solomon told me, knew what he wanted. But it was obvious that she wanted something far different. She was speaking as though they were going to have a life together, and I was too unsure of myself, of our
new relationship to say otherwise.
I wanted desperately to believe all those things he whispers to me as we make love. The reassurances that he’s made only last as long as we were wrapped together keeping the rest of the world at bay. But once I was away from him again, the fears and doubts returned and I was back to where I started until the next time we made love.
She was watching me now and I was beyond uncomfortable alone in the room with her. I was about to make up an excuse to leave when he walked in. I hadn’t even heard the front door open.
“Excuse me.” I started to leave but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back to his side. “I wasn’t expecting to see you here Jessica, is everything okay with the baby?” Her eyes followed our hands where they were joined and I saw a look of anger come over her face.
“We’re fine, I just wanted to see the father of my child is there a problem?” He squeezed my hand and I looked up at his face but the anger wasn’t showing there either.
“I’d just prefer you called ahead next time. Is that all? Alexandra and I have plans this evening.” Oh she didn’t like that at all. I held my breath and waited for her next move.
“Ask her to leave the room I have something to say to you that’s not for her ears.” He looked from her to me before kissing my forehead and placing a comforting hand on my side as he leaned into me to whisper in my ear.
“Go wait for me babydoll, I won’t be a minute.” I let go of his hand and left the room without a backward glance, but of course I stood just out of sight so I could eavesdrop.
“I don’t like that the two of you seem to be getting even closer than before. What’s with the hand holding and cute kisses? Anyone would think you two were an item.” Like you didn’t know that. What a snake.
“My relationship with Alexandra is none of your concern.”
“I beg to differ. I am carrying your child after all. The heir to the Magna dynasty.” I could almost hear the glee in her voice and wanted to throw up.
“You’re carrying my child yes, but you and I are never going to be the happy couple you have running around in your head. I was waiting for the right time to say this, but since you want to force the issue now’s as good a time as any.”
“I will care for the child of course, but as for marriage or anything else between you and I, that’s never going to happen. As to your child being my heir, the jury’s still out on that.” My chest swelled with so much pride and love in that moment I could’ve ran into the room and kissed his feet. But Jessica wasn’t finished.
“What do you mean? Of course we’re getting married. I refuse to bring a child into this world without marriage. Think how that would look to our peers. Why I’d be the laugh of the town.”
“I don’t love you. I think you know me well enough to know I won’t do anything I don’t want to, no matter who thinks what.”
“We’ll just see about that. What do you plan to do? Are you going to marry your ward?” I held my breath as she laughed. “Yes.” My eyes opened wide and my head snapped up in shock. My mouth formed the word ‘what’ but no sound came.
“You can’t be serious.”
“Very. She’s the woman I love. I guess you suspected as much, that’s why you made all those comments coming on to the end when you and I were still together. Well now you know.”
“It can’t be, you…what would people say? What about your friends? What about the business? Do you think anyone will stand for this? It would be a scandal…”
“You know better than that.”
“If you do this, I will be forced to abort this child.”
My mouth fell open in sick shock. The room was silent for the longest time after her threat and I held my breath in fear of what he would do next. I felt lost; she’d won. No way was Solomon going to let her destroy his baby. I turned and walked away before I could hear what else was being said. What was the use? I’m sure she’d said the one thing that was bound to bring him to heel.
Tears clouded my vision as I struggled down the hallway and up the stairs to my room, and threw myself down on the bed in agony. My heart was in a million pieces as I cried into my pillow.
I guess I always knew he wouldn’t be mine; he was too perfect. I was the daughter of a drug addict who’d sold herself to get high. Whatever made me think that I would find lasting happiness with someone like him?
All these horrible things went through my head as I imagined how he’d break the news to me that he had to let me go for the sake of his child. I was tempted to run before that happened, but my promise to him that I would never put him through that again kept me there. Waiting instead for him to come and destroy my whole world.

Solomon
I looked at the woman in front of me and did everything I could to keep my hands from going around her neck. “It’s your body of course, you’re free to do as you choose.” I could see my answer wasn’t the one she was expecting.
“What’re you saying? That you don’t care what happens to your own flesh and blood?” My expression didn’t change and neither did my stance. “If you think for one second that I would let you dictate my life you’ve lost your fucking mind.”
“Dictate your life? We’re talking about your child, a part of you. How could you be so callous?”
“You threatened, I answered. I’ve told you in no uncertain terms that I will not destroy my life for you, and marrying you will most certainly be destructive. I will not marry out of necessity. There will only be one Mrs. Solomon Magna in this lifetime and she’s it.” I pointed up to where I supposed Alexandra had gone.
“This is…” She clutched at her chest and her breathing became short and raspy. “Should I call an ambulance?” If she was a better actress she would’ve learned how to hide the spite in her eyes. It was because I knew her so well that I knew to always watch her eyes if I wanted to know the truth.
She straightened up as I headed for the phone as if to call for help. “No need, just a slight pain, it will pass.” Yes, use the child you just threatened, to get me to bend to your will.
“You made your play, time to go.” I held my hand out for her to leave the room, none of the burning anger showing in my movements.
She left the room in a huff and I waited until I heard the front door slam before picking up the phone to call my lawyer.
“Harry, I need you to get an injunction against someone.”
“Who and what for?”
“Jessica Paine, she plans to abort my kid I want her stopped. You have until tomorrow.” I hung up and went in search of Alexandra. I wasn’t sure yet how I felt about my unborn child but I knew I wasn’t about to stand by and let her destroy it.
Maybe I should start proceedings to take the child after it was born. She obviously had no uses for it except to trap me into marriage which she now knew wasn’t going to happen.
I gave it some thought as I went in search of my woman who wasn’t waiting for me by the door like I’d expected. I can only imagine what was going through her head. I wasn’t about to let that ass spoil another day though.
“Alexandra, where are you my love?” I took the stairs two at a time and went to our room. She wasn’t there and a check of the bathroom came up empty. “Alexandra.” I heard something as I passed her old room and looked in.
“What are you doing in here? Mom’s waiting, come on.” She picked her head up and I saw that she’d been crying. Her constant tears told me that words were not enough, with her only actions would do. Good girl! Words only give comfort to fools.
“Are we still going?” She sniffled and wiped the last of the tears from her cheeks.
“Of course, we promised.”
“But I thought…”
“You thought what sweetheart?”
I picked her up from the bed and headed for the stairs. I carry her around now more than I did when she was a child, my baby.
“Never mind.” She rested her head on my shoulder and wrapped her arms tighter around my ne
ck.
“You thought that since Jessica was here I would change our plans. I told you, that’s not going to happen. Have a little faith.”
Dinner at mom’s helped settle her a little and by the time we left she was smiling again. That night our loving was sweet, soft, tender. Instead of the hurried pounding lust we usually shared, I took my time and undressed her, stopping after each bit of flesh was revealed to pay homage to her beauty.
She responded just as beautifully to my ministrations as she ever did. “Play with my cock while I suck your nipples.” Her hand came down beneath me where I was lying over her with my arms holding me up.
At the first touch of her warm palm on my hot flesh I licked her nipple until it beaded, before taking it fully into my mouth. Her hand tugged at my cock until it grew harder, longer and I pressed her nipple to the roof of my mouth before dropping it for its twin.
“Release me.” Her hand felt too fucking good and I wasn’t ready to cum yet. When both her nipples were hard and red from my teeth, I licked my way down her center to her pussy. The scent was already in my nose and my tongue came away wet with the first touch.
“I’m going to make you cum in my mouth first before I fuck you.” Her pussy was already in need from the nipple play and my teasing her clit with my fingers while driving my tongue into her pussy set her off immediately.
I love the way she grabs my head and pulls me harder into her cunt. That’s when I know that it’s my cock she needs. That the place deep inside her where only my cock can reach is ready to feel me.
Tonight, though, there was no rush. I ate her pussy to two more orgasms until I’d had my fill of her sweet pussy juice and my cock was no longer willing to wait to be fed. “Watch me pierce you.” She lifted her head and looked down between her spread pale thighs where my cock was nosing around the entrance to her pussy.
