I was sitting at the kitchen table drinking my morning coffee, still in the sweatpants I’d slept in. I felt a little self-conscious considering how beautiful she looked. I asked her why she’d chosen to come in so early and she laughed, saying she’d thought I might need some help getting the kids up after the late night and she’d learned a few tricks over the past few weeks. I was happy for the help as I still needed to finish packing my own clothes and getting ready.
I could hear her waking the kids up and it made me smile the way they laughed as she clearly tickled them awake. It had been awhile since I’d heard the sound of my children laughing so early in the morning. To be honest, I hadn’t spent nearly enough time with them lately. I guess it was just easier to deal with work issues than it was to be alone at home with them hoping that they didn’t have any questions that their mother would have been better at answering.
But with Tessa there, it all seemed so much easier. I knew that if I’d had to get them ready, pack my own bags as well as theirs and get them dressed, we probably wouldn’t have left on time. She was a lifesaver and I wanted her to know that.
We all piled into the old cherry-red Jeep I kept in the garage for long-distance driving with the family. As soon as we were leaving the city, Tessa connected her phone to the car’s BlueTooth. “I made a playlist I think we will all be happy with,” she said simply.
“I doubt it,” I muttered.
She made a joke of poking me in the ribs with her elbow. “Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.”
The first song that came on was “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey, and the little ones went crazy singing along. It turned out that Tessa had been teaching them the art of singing along very loudly to classic rock songs in the car. I couldn’t help but smile broadly. The playlist was pretty spectacular, given that I was used to playing kids' music on road trips for years.
The drive up was beautiful and there were very few other cars on the open road, which made driving extremely pleasant. We arrived at the house at around noon. The house was huge. I mean, driving to it from the gate took a good twenty minutes. For a holiday home, it was more of a mansion than anything else. The lawns were manicured and the bushes had been clipped to resemble various animals. It was very clear that Daniel Abel liked to show off that he had money. But just because it wasn’t my way of doing things, that didn’t mean that it was wrong.
They welcomed us with snacks, champagne, and orange juice for the kids. David was already there. Typical of him, he even had to arrive at a vacation quicker than me. I introduced Tessa as my wife and I could see the smirk on his face from the background. One day, he would have to retire and I wouldn’t have to deal with him ever again.
The afternoon went by perfectly fine. In fact, it was quite enjoyable. We all sat on the veranda drinking cocktails and playing cards. Daniel’s wife, Sheila, took Tessa around the grounds, showing her all the different types of flowers she was growing there. The kids were playing in the massive playroom they had set up in the house with a nanny. Time flew by and soon it was dinner.
We ate and chatted and drank some more. The meal was delicious. It turned out they had a full-time chef at the house. David, of course, brought up that I liked to “live simply” and hid my money… didn’t even have a personal chef, unlike him who had a full staff at home. That wasn’t true. I spent my money on things that mattered, like donating to worthy causes. I just didn’t believe in excess.
That conversation upset me and I was glad when Daniel and Sheila announced they were going to bed. Apparently, they had a big day planned for us the next day. Tessa and I said goodnight to everyone and walked toward the bedroom we’d be sharing.
She turned to me with a mischievous smile as we walked in. “Look what I stole…” She was holding up a bottle of Lagavulin scotch.
“How did you possibly sneak that up here?” I asked, genuinely having no idea.
“Having curves and a long dress helps.” She winked at me. “Besides, I could tell that David was getting to you and thought you could use some cheering up.”
She was right.
“After my dad retired, he thought he’d have full control over the business, but my dad left me with his shares and a seat on the board. It annoyed the hell out of him. I mean, I deserved it. I’ve worked there since I graduated and had put in all the required blood, sweat and tears to do my job to the best of my ability. But that guy hates me. I can’t do anything without him watching my every move.”
We drank and talked about everything under the sun. Finally, we were ready to go to bed. That’s when we realized that we hadn’t discussed sleeping arrangements. I told her that I would take the couch. But she laughed and said that we were both adults and could sleep in the same bed comfortably.
She went to the bathroom to change out of her dress. She’d accidentally left the door open an inch or two. I could see her struggling. Suddenly, I don’t know what came over me, but I walked right in and placed my hand over hers to help her unzip her dress. And while I slowly pulled the zipper down, I kissed her neck.
She stood there silently, not moving. I hoped I hadn’t been stupid and ruined everything by reading the signs incorrectly. Then she turned around and kissed me deeply. It was a moment of pure magic. Her lips were soft and she tasted like whiskey and honey. I stepped closer and wrapped my arms around her gorgeous body. The only thing holding her dress up was her voluptuous chest pressed against mine. She pulled her face away from mine, her eyes staring deep into mine, and took a step back. Her dress fell gracefully to the floor and all of a sudden, she was standing in front of me wearing nothing but her lingerie.
Her lips curled up into a seductive smile and she grabbed my collar and pulled me back toward her. She was completely in control of me in that moment and I liked it. I’d been celibate for far too long and I couldn’t imagine anyone I’d want to break my dry spell with. I kissed her back and let my hands roam around her body. She moaned as I slid my hands over her breasts and I could feel her nipples hardening beneath her lace bra. Slowly, she guided me out of the bathroom toward the bed. I sat down and she straddled me while unbuttoning my shirt and kissing my neck. I could already feel my cock getting harder by the second.
Chapter 11: Tessa
I could feel his erection already stiff beneath his pants and I was becoming more and more turned on. I ground myself against his crotch and he let out a growl of pleasure. I knew he was just as ready for this as I was. I removed his shirt to reveal gorgeous, sculpted abs and a six-pack that had me salivating. By the way he kissed me, I could tell that he was tired of me being in control.
He picked me up with very little effort and pushed me down on the bed. With one hand, he managed to unclip my bra and my breasts sprang free, grateful to be out in the world. His other hand made its way down to my panties and he gently parted my thighs and worked his fingers inside my pussy.
He smiled as he realized that I was already wet and ready for him. But that didn’t mean he was going to skip foreplay. He stroked my clitoris with his thumb as he let two fingers explore inside. I let out a gasp as he started building up rhythm with his hand. I reached down to try and unbutton his jeans, but he smacked my hand away with a grin on his face.
As I started to breathe more heavily, he began to kiss my breasts, flicking his tongue against my perky nipples. Then he worked his way down, kissing my stomach and then, finally, he was between my legs. He kept fingering me as his tongue flickered against my clit. I was so worked up that my back was beginning to arch. I knew it wouldn’t be long until I had my first orgasm and he wasn’t anywhere near finished.
His tongue eagerly explored my pussy and I closed my eyes as things began to get a little blurry. I wanted more but also wanted to pleasure him as well. It took all my willpower to do it, but I managed to use my palm to push his head back. He looked at me like I was insane.
“I want you to take off your pants,” I said, my tone stern yet sensual.
“H
ow about a please?” he joked as he stood up and dropped his jeans. As he removed his underwear, I was a little in shock. I’d had a feeling that he would be large, but I had no idea how big his cock would be. I got excited all over again. Before he could get back on the bed, I sprang up and pushed him into a seated position.
Chapter 12: Jack
I could tell that she was impressed by my size and that turned me on even more. She made a show of forcing me to sit down and then slowly lowering her head. She started by kissing the head of my penis, making me moan uncontrollably. And then her tongue was out and she was licking my rock-hard cock in short bursts. She was teasing me and when I didn’t think I could take it much longer, she took me in her mouth as far as she could. She might have looked like a well-mannered good girl, but she knew what she was doing. She sucked and worked my cock with her tongue and then she moved her head backward and forwards with increasing speed.
If she didn’t slow down, I knew I was going to come and I had to make her scream before I would allow that to happen. I managed to pick her up and pin her down beneath me on the bed. I held her two hands in one of mine while I separated her thighs with the other hand. From the quickness of her breath, I could tell that she wanted me more than anything at that moment. And with that, I entered her. I heard her gasp as I made sure she took all of me inside her.
Chapter 13: Tessa
The slight bit of pain due to his size only added to the pleasure as he slowly started to move himself in and out. He let go of my hands as he kissed me and began to rub his thumbs over my nipples, bringing me to my first climax. I couldn’t stop moaning as my vision blurred and it only made him fuck me harder and faster.
Suddenly, his arms were around me, his hand on my lower back, pushing me up until I was straddling him. Then his hands were gripping my ass, pulling me up and down as he moved beneath me. It was surreal. I’d never been with such an energetic lover. He was so attentive to my needs. It was like he knew exactly what I needed and when. Just as I felt my second climax coming, he placed his thumb over my clitoris and added pressure. I couldn’t help it, I was screaming out in ecstasy.
His lips moved to my left breast as he took as much as he could inside his mouth. It was just too much for me to take without losing my mind. He was clearly close to orgasm as well as he moved faster and added more pressure. His hands gripped my ass even tighter as I bit gently into his shoulder. I ran my hands through his hair and he groaned intensely. He wasn’t ready to give in to me just yet.
Chapter 14: Jack
I could feel her pussy tighten around my cock as she came close to her second orgasm. I wasn’t far off from ecstasy myself, but I was trying to make sure she climaxed a second time. I slowed down the rhythm I’d built up, becoming a little more gentle as I released my grip on her ass and lay her back down.
I kissed her sweetly and started to massage her clitoris with my thumb as I eased in and out of her. I could tell she was only seconds away from coming, so I began to speed up again. The harder and faster I went, the more I could feel myself losing control. It was like something else was taking over my body. All I could feel was an intense pleasure.
I kissed her deeply, and I could feel her moan into my lips as she came. Seconds later, I was over the edge and came inside her.
Chapter 15: Tessa
We slept soundly in each other’s arms. And when I woke up in the morning, I leaned over and gently kissed him on the cheek. He slightly opened his eyes and pulled me closer, kissing my neck. Unfortunately, we heard the kids running toward the door and we had just enough time to pull the covers over us before they came in.
They were too young to think anything of us sleeping in the same bed. I was thankful for that. It would be difficult for Jack to have to explain that. We promised the little ones that if they gave us enough time to get dressed, we’d meet them in the playroom to look at the pictures they’d drawn for us.
We took a shower together. Jack joked that it was to save time, but he was wasting time kissing me and washing every inch of my body. I could tell that he was getting hard again, so I had to stop him. The last thing we wanted was for the children to run in while we were making love.
We finally got dressed and made our way downstairs. David took one look at us and began to smirk. “Ignore it,” I whispered to Jack. I didn’t want him getting upset by the old man. He kissed me sweetly and winked. It was weird, this was all new to us. But given that we were pretending to be husband and wife, it didn’t look strange to Daniel and Sheila. And I didn’t care what David thought.
The morning went by quite quickly. We ate a delicious breakfast and went for a long walk. The other couple led the way with the kids and we hung back. David had stayed at the house because he said he couldn’t walk long distances anymore. We were glad because we could steal quick kisses as the others weren’t looking. Jack seemed to have a fun time squeezing my ass whenever he had a chance.
I knew that it should have felt strange and new, but it actually felt natural and exciting being with Jack. There had clearly been chemistry between us all along and now we were just allowing ourselves to enjoy it.
After we got back from the walk, it was time for afternoon cocktails. From the look of David, he’d already started without us. I could sense from the look on his face that he was going to be digging into Jack.
Chapter 16: Jack
David was a little drunk by the time we got back and it was only 3 p.m. He was bragging about the new yacht he’d just purchased when Sheila came outside. She looked a little uncomfortable. When Daniel asked her what was wrong, she just shook her head and smiled. A few minutes later, I could see them out of the corner of my eye talking in the kitchen. I was starting to worry that somehow they’d found out about my fake wife. More than anything, it would be embarrassing.
I was on my way to the bathroom when Daniel stopped me to say something, even though he seemed a little hesitant. I asked him what was wrong and he said that Sheila had a diamond-encrusted ornament that her father had left her in her study and that when she’d just been in there, it had been gone. They thought it might be the staff, but they fully trusted each and every person who worked for them. The only clue was that there was a mark where a whiskey tumbler had been sitting.
“Has David ever taken anything… just as a joke or as a sort of souvenir? I mean, I don’t want to blame him… but the maid said she saw him in there drinking earlier.” His voice was soft and he was honestly not trying to cause trouble… but clearly, the object had some sentimental value to his wife.
I said I didn’t think David would do anything like that, even though I realized that I didn’t know him that well. But why would he take an ornament from the person we were trying to get an investment from? I told Daniel not to worry and that I was sure it would turn up.
By the time I returned to the table, the subject had not been raised and Sheila was trying to smile and join the conversation as if nothing was wrong. David had managed to become even more inebriated and I could tell he was trying to make Tessa uncomfortable. He’d moved to the seat next to her, which was mine, and I was forced to sit in his seat. I didn’t like the way he kept leaning toward her.
“Tell me, what attracted you to Jack here?” he slurred.
“Well, lots of things. For starters, he’s a genuinely down-to-earth guy. He’s sweet and kind and cares about the people who work for him. And he’s also pretty much the most gorgeous man alive.” She added that last part with a laugh.
I felt myself smile broadly. I could tell that she actually meant those things. She really did like me.
“So it’s not the fact that he’s filthy rich?”
David had taken it one step too far. I caught his eye and gave him a warning. “Don’t start, David.”
“Start what, Jack? Are you worried I’m going to hurt her feelings? I mean, come on, she’s basically a prostitute. You are paying her to be here, after all.”
I couldn’t believe what he’d just s
aid. I completely lost my temper with him. I could handle any insult he swung at me… but he needed to stay the hell away from Tessa. Next thing I knew, I was swinging my fist into his face. He toppled over out of the chair.
“You bastard!” he yelled. “You spoiled little brat! It’s the truth. She’s not really his wife, she’s his nanny and he’s paying her to be here!”
His words would have caused some alarm with Daniel, but there was a lot more going on as he spat out those words. In the distance, lights were flashing and sirens blared, coming closer and closer to the property. And we all looked at where Sheila was staring. As David had fallen to the floor, a shiny, diamond-encrusted object had tumbled of his jacket.
In a matter of mere minutes, David was being yelled at by Sheila and then, suddenly, a van full of FBI agents pulled up in the driveway. Before we knew it, David was being handcuffed and read his rights. All I heard was “embezzlement.”
I’d known there had been an internal investigation going into missing funds, even though they tried to keep it quiet. But I had no idea they were getting anywhere and I was shocked to find out that it was David who was responsible for all of it.
Chapter 17: Tessa
We’d packed immediately after the FBI had left with David. It didn’t feel right to stay for the rest of the weekend. And anyway, Jack didn’t want to have to explain to them why he’d pretended to have a wife. We got the kids in the car and drove back to town.
