“Are you ok?” Jeff whispered in my ear.
“Yeah,” I smiled.
After the kids last sugar high Jeff and I decided it was time to leave the aquarium. Jeff’s truck was parked next to mine in the parking lot. We loaded the kids into our vehicles. I started my kids’ favorite movie then stepped in front of Jeff, who waited for me near the back of our trucks. Jeff glanced inside both our vehicles then back down at me. His hands swept up my back as his lips took mine. My fingers gripped his sizeable biceps. Jeff’s dick rested above the waistband of my jeans. Moans escaped my lips as I pushed back from him. Jeff pulled me into his embrace.
“I had a great time today. It felt good being with you and our children.”
Jeff and I took a step back.
“I can’t wait to see you again Sierra.”
My warm gaze met his. “Me either.” Slowly my fingers brushed over his massive muscular chest.
“We better get going before one of their heads pops up over the back seat.”
“Ok.” My hands fell at my sides.
Grabbing my face with both hands, his lips crashed into mine with need. His tongue forcefully took mine, my fingers gripped his abs through his button-down shirt.
Jeff pulled back, kissed the side of my head then walked away. He didn’t need to say goodbye. I could tell in our brief time alone together, he was having a hard time waiting to make love to me. Still standing where he left me now touching my lips, I snapped out of my daze when I heard Jeff start his Suburban. Quickly, I climbed behind the steering wheel of my truck, glancing at my babies through the rearview mirror. They were still engrossed in their movie.
Twenty minutes into my drive Jeff called. I placed my wireless earbuds in my ears then answered my phone.
“Hello.”
“How are you doing? I thought you weren’t going to get into your truck back there.”
I blushed. I was embarrassed. His tough demeanor and Jersey bad boy swagger showed me a glimpse of what I’m in for when we have sex. I don’t think I’m ready. “I’m fine. My kids are fast asleep. What about yours?”
“Dillon is beginning to doze off. Lily is out of there.”
I laughed. “Standing outside in the sun while watching the sea lions probably began wearing them down.”
“Good, that means they will sleep well tonight. I love creating lasting memories with my kids.”
I smiled. “Me too.”
“Do you want to watch tv together later on?”
“Sure. What are we watching?”
“How about a classic episode of Criminal Intent?”
“Oh yeah! I can’t pass that up. Which one?”
“We’ll pick together around 10?”
“I’ll be ready. Gives me time to take a nice long bubble bath.”
“Ah ok. Send me a pic of you in the tub.”
“Oh no. So that one can end up as a screen saver too?”
“Baby, one thing about me, ain’t no other man going to be drooling over my woman especially not in my presence. If one of my guys even thinks about you in that way, you don’t want to know what I would do to them.”
I began laughing. “Ok, I will send you a pic.”
I couldn’t stop laughing. He was so serious. “Do I get another pic of you?”
“Nope.”
“Why?”
“What did I tell you? You don’t get to do what without me?”
“Oh shoot! Jeff, come on.”
“No, I’m not joking.”
“Then I’m not sending you a pic.”
“Suit yourself. Don’t do it, you’ll be punished. Do what you’re told then I’ll possibly reward you.”
“Baby, a reward.” My face lit up.
I began thinking of all the ways I could be rewarded. Maybe at lunch on Monday he will reward me by eating my pussy. No maybe eating my pussy and afternoon sex. A grin spread across my lips so wide.
“Sierra, Sierra.”
“Huh?”
“Baby, focus on the road. We’ll talk later.”
“Ok, bye.”
I felt beads of sweat sliding down my forehead. Swiping the back of my hand across my forehead, I felt my pussy lips clench. “I need to keep my mind out the gutter.”
CHAPTER FORTY
JEFF
Sierra tried to make a deal with me with that whole picture swap shit. I told her, she will only cum for me with me. I’m not giving her my picture so she can hang up the phone with me then play with her toy so she can cum. Won’t happen. I’m a greedy son of a bitch. She will soon learn.
Spending time with Sierra and our children was nice. We had a good time today. It will be nice for us all to hang out again soon. The girls got along well. Dillon’s whole week was made by being able to watch the sharks swim right by him.
FLASHBACK
For the last couple of days, the lie I told Sierra keeps playing in my head like a warped record. I didn’t have a choice to feed her that load of bullshit about my parents. After I left Sierra’s office, I sat in the parking lot at work reading Newark, New Jersey online newspapers. My keyword search terms were New Jersey governor and his family.
Luckily, my mom was alive and kicking. My dad was still the Governor of New Jersey. My mother appeared older in the pictures and so did my dad. While I was at it I looked up Dominic. He was in college in California. I’ll have Tony check on him from time to time. My little sister. The sister I never met attends a well to do private high school. Neither me nor my brother are there to look after her. I’m sure my father has it handled.
I took a snapshot of my family’s Christmas card. It was taken last year. My brother was probably home for the holidays on college break. The Christmas cards were mailed out to other government officials during the holidays. I didn’t even realize I’d been sitting in the parking lot for an hour until my secretary knocked on the window.
“Are you ok boss?”
Deleting the photo quick, I turned to her, “Yeah, I’m coming in now.”
“Ok, Joe needs you to check the final wing of the building.”
“Ok, thanks.”
I convinced myself I did the right thing by lying to Sierra. She’s a smart woman. If I told her anything different, she’d probably dig into my past. I also keep thinking about the news Tony enlightened me on. Uncle Mickey was found buried near Lake Draper. I wonder why they buried him. Usually when someone’s wacked, their body is chained to a cement block and you watch them disappear under water. After the fish eat at them there’s really nothing left.
Filippo, the sick motherfucker wants my father to come after him. He’s in for a fucking rude awakening. It’s only a matter of time before my father kills that piece of shit.
What do I do? Pay a visit to my family. ‘Hey dad, turns out, I’m not dead. Tony and I just faked our deaths to keep the peace.’
Nope, that shit won’t work. I can’t have my father mad at my mother, the love of his life. No can do. I had to put my past out of my mind once again. Keep my focus on building a future with Sierra. That is my plan.
PRESENT
Driving into the garage, I ponder on what I will cook for dinner.
“Dillon, Lily. We are home. Time to wake up.”
They were groggy. Dillon climbed out of the truck then walked into the house. Lily crawled across the seat into my arms. I kicked the door closed as I entered the house. Dillon was lying on the couch watching television. I sat Lily on the opposite end.
“I’m going to cook dinner. After dinner we can watch a movie. Dillon, it’s your turn to pick the movie.”
“Yes!”
“Tomorrow, we’ll play soccer.”
“Yay! I can’t wait,” said Lilly.
“Dad, we are going against you. Lily and I are going to win!”
“Oh, you think so? We will see!” I pointed between the two of them.
“Don’t forget your backpacks or your mom will have a fit tomorrow evening.”
“Ok, dad we won’t!” th
ey yelled.
~
The kids and I enjoyed popcorn, juice, and our movie. They were asleep by 9:30 p.m. I didn’t finish taking a shower until around 10:15.
I called Sierra around 10:30. We chose the Criminal Intent episode we wanted to watch.
I opened my eyes around 12:06 a.m. My cell was under my arm.
“Sierra?”
“Hmm?”
“Get some rest we’ll talk tomorrow. We are both exhausted.”
A sexy moan escaped her lips. “Ok, goodnight.”
“Good night, baby.”
∞
Stepping into Lindsay’s atrium, I dropped to my knees, pulling my kids into my embrace.
“Daddy had the best time with you guys this week!”
“We did too,” said Dillon.
“Don’t leave daddy,” Lily cried.
I heard Dillon sniffle too.
I glanced over at Lindsay.
“If its ok with mommy, I’ll drop you both off at school in the morning and I’ll drive you home.”
They stepped back all smiles. I swiped the tears away from their little cheeks.
“Alright, its settled. I will see you both in the morning!”
The sunlight disappeared from the living room and sitting room windows on either side of us, leaving a gloominess in the house. I flicked the light switch on.
The kids hugged their mom then ran up the winding staircase.
I swooped their bags off the floor, sitting them on the bench next to the staircase. “I washed their clothes. Their nanny can put them away.”
Lindsay walked toward me. “Great, thank you for everything.” She stood on her tippy toes kissing my cheek.
My eyebrows wrinkled when she stepped back.
“I’m just being cordial Jeff.”
“Ok. Just so you know Sierra and I stopped taking things slow the afternoon you stopped by my office.”
Lindsay placed her hand over her chest. “Really?”
“Lindsay, what did you expect me to do? Never fall in love again.”
Lindsay’s eyes widened. “Wait! How can you be in love with her? You haven’t known her that long.”
I pointed my finger toward her. “Doesn’t matter! I’m letting you know, whenever I fall in love again it will be with Sierra. She’s not going anywhere.”
I turned on my heels toward the door.
“Jeff, she may just want sex.”
Quickly, I turned, stepping to her. “Oh, you mean like you did! You used me for sex, to have my babies, and to make that country singing motherfucker jealous!” I yelled in a whisper.
“Don’t you ever compare yourself to Sierra! She doesn’t need me for shit! Doesn’t expect me to take care of her. She makes her own living!”
“Bullshit! Her ex-husband pays for her lifestyle. She will always and forever be Mrs. Jeremy Crawford!”
I stood over her. “Oh, you think so? We’ll see. Once she’s my wife having my babies ain’t no more fucking Mrs. Jeremy Crawford bullshit! She will be Mrs. Jeffrey Westbrook!” I stepped back.
“So much for being cordial Lindsay.”
Storming out the front door, I was careful not to slam it shut. Fuck, she knows just how to get under my skin. The sky opened up just as I climbed into my new Suburban. I needed to breathe. Getting away from Lindsay’s house was the priority, now.
CHAPTER FORTY-ONE
JEFF
Next week some of the guys are coming over to my house. They are going to help me install workout equipment in a spacious room in my house. Working out at the gym will be over. I have a beautiful house on a sizable lot. It’s time I utilize what I have.
I arrived at the gym twenty-minutes later. The free weights was where I began my work out. Sometimes I go for a run, but today I needed to hit the weights, hard.
Two hours later my workout was complete. Driving home sweaty wasn’t what I planned, but I made the decision to shower at home.
My cell buzzed. While sitting at the traffic light, I glanced at my phone. Sierra left a voicemail. I’m shocked she called. She never calls. She always waits for me to call her. I pressed play:
Hey Jeff, sorry I fell asleep last night while we were watching our show. I really just wanted to hear your voice. Call me later tonight.
A smile curled my lips after listening to her call.
I wasn’t going to call her today. Truthfully, Lindsay got in my head. Moving forward with Sierra was still the plan. I just wanted some time to myself tonight. Am I punishing Sierra? I feel like I am. I remember the way she hugged me when I informed her about my past. She felt at ease. If she only wanted sex she wouldn’t have cared about my past.
∞
Later, that night I called Sierra around 10 p.m. I couldn’t help calling her, I needed to hear her too.
She answered the phone on the third ring.
“Hello.”
“Hello Sierra. How was your day?”
“It was good. The kids and I played in the backyard.”
“How was your day?”
“It was ok. Dillon and Lily teamed up against me on the Soccer field. I dropped them off at home, then worked out.”
“Jeff, you sound a little tense. If this is a bad time we can talk tomorrow.”
“No… Lindsay and I got into an argument.”
“Oh. You don’t have to tell me what it was about.”
“It was about you.”
“Jeff, was it about our trip to the aquarium?”
“No. But she is jealous of you.”
“Do you need to stop seeing me? I don’t want to get in the way and mess up anything with your children.”
“Sierra, you have nothing to worry about. It’s my problem. Ok.”
“Ok?”
“Today, was my last day working out at the gym.”
“Why?”
“I’m building a home gym.”
“Oh, that’s great! Do I get to come over and work out with you?”
“Absolutely baby. I almost forgot. Can you get a babysitter Tuesday night? I find out if my company wins the construction deal or not. If you can I will send a car to pick you up. I am getting shit faced either way.”
She laughed. “Yeah, I can ask my in-laws to watch the kids and take them to school in the morning.”
“Good, we are going to have some fun!”
“I can’t wait.”
“Alright, lets watch the latest episode of SVU.”
“Now, you’re talking,” she sang.
~
I was on pins and needles most of the afternoon. Kyle finally arrived at the office around 1:30 p.m.
“Hey Eva,” he said strolling past her desk.
“Kyle,” she said as she continued to work.
My legs were crossed stretched across the edge of my desk, ankles crossed, while I scrolled through employee timesheets. Busy work was all I could do at the time. Kyle plopped down in one of the chairs across from me, leaning back.
“What the fuck are you doing over there watching porn?”
“Kyle, that is your question? All the times I caught you watching twisted sex videos of you and one of your MILFs.”
Kyle and I both laughed hysterically.
“Jeffy, guess what?”
“What the fuck Kyle?!”
“We won the bid! The job is ours!”
I jumped out of my seat, slapping his hand.
“Yes!”
“Jeff, we are most definitely celebrating tonight!”
“You fucking know it!”
I retrieved a bottle of Jim Beam from the bottom desk drawer. Placing three low ball glasses on my desk, I began to pour.
“Eva, come join Kyle and me for a toast.”
She smiled as she strolled over.
We raised our glasses. “Here’s to continuing to build nothing but the fucking best!”
“Nothing but the best!” they yelled.
After swallowing the harsh content’s, we slammed our glasses on the desk.
Placing the Jim Bean back in my desk drawer, I sat the empty glasses in the sink.
“Alright, Kyle, Eva, let’s inform the team of the great news!”
~
“Guys, we would like to share some news with you. Step over!” I yelled.
The guys gathered around. “First Kyle and I want to thank you all for your hard work and for meeting the deadline. Everyone here has a special skillset and you all take pride in your work. We won the bid for the Carter project!”
“Yes!” They all cheered.
“At the end of the week our current project will be complete. Next week we’ll be on vacation. The following week we will break ground on the Carter project. Again, thanks! Back to work!”
I turned to Eva. “I’m gone for the rest of the day.”
“Alright, boss.”
Kyle and I walked across the parking lot towards our trucks.
“I’ll have Sierra meet us at the bar around 8 tonight. Bring a date if you want.”
“I can’t wait to meet the woman who has Jeff’s nose wide open,” Kyle laughed.
“Fuck you Kyle. And hey save the embarrassing stories,” I smirked.
He rolled his eyes upward. “I’ll consider it.”
Placing my hand over my eyes to block the sun, I walked backwards toward my truck.
“Kyle, do it and I promise I’ll tell the guys your obsession with MILFS!”
Kyle turned up his middle finger then jumped into his Silver Dodge Ram.
CHAPTER FORTY-TWO
JEFF
Kyle and I sat at the bar. I wore a charcoal brown suit, white dress shirt, and brown Oxford shoes. Running my fingers through my curly brown hair was how I managed my locks. No comb needed. It was obvious Kyle dated often. His blonde hair was freshly cut and moussed perfectly. He wore a gray suit, white dress shirt, and black Oxfords. It’s not that often I get dressed up.
I slammed another shot of whiskey down my throat as Kyle and I watched the basketball game.
“Man can you believe we’ve been friends since freshman year?”
“Kyle, its been a long time. Thanks for being the face of our business.”
“Shit, there’s no better place to be. There is a plethora of women at these fucking benefits you send me to. I’ve got enough women to last awhile.”
