“He needs me to, right now. I can do it for him. Don’t tell Cyprian, please. He already looks at Peter like he wants to tell him off more often than I’d like. I can’t have Cyprian starting a battle with my husband over how he treats me. I’m used to it.”
“Because he’s beat you down to accept it,” I say as my hackles have risen.
“Shit! Don’t tell me you’re going to be a problem too! I only wanted to talk to you about it. I don’t want anyone to say a thing to Peter. Please.”
“You ready?” Cyprian asks me.
I smile as I recall him telling me he only wants to hear the word, yes, come from me tonight. “Yes.” I turn my attention back to the phone call. “Got to go, sis.”
“Okay, bye, you guys have fun.”
I put the phone in a gold clutch he’s handing me and take the arm he’s offering me. As we leave the bedroom, I’m filled with worry for myself and my sister.
Are we both fools over men…?
Chapter 5
CYPRIAN
I’ve never been more nervous in my entire life!
My palms are sweating as I grip the small box in my inside jacket pocket. My father is looming ahead and Cami is looking a little frantic as she takes in the blue lights that are reflecting off the disco ball that still hangs above the dance floor of my father’s ballroom.
He’s smiling as we approach him and I find my mother swooping in from the right. “Oh, you can speak freely, Cami.”
She looks at me and winks. “Do you really think I didn’t know that?”
I laugh, nervously as I watch her eyes grow bright. “Damn, I love the shit out of you.”
Her mouth quirks into a half smile. “And later you will show me.”
“You have no idea how much I’ll show you.” I make a growling sound as she runs her hand over my ass.
My father meets us with his hand extended. “Corbin Girard, Camilla. Nice to meet you.”
She shakes his hand and nods but can’t say anything as my mother is next to him in a second with her hand extended as well. “Coco Mason.”
“It’s nice to meet you both,” she says as she shakes my mother’s hand.
“My son tells me you’re going to be a scientist someday,” my father says.
I pick up a couple of drinks off a passing tray and hand one to Cami. She looks at me with thankfulness in her pretty eyes then looks back at my father. “I am going to be doing something in that field, yes sir.”
“Such a beautiful woman, she is Cyprian,” Mother tells me. “I can see why you like her.”
“I more than like her, Mother.” I look at Cami and push a few of her curls away from her face. “I love her.”
Cami’s hand on my cheek sends tingles all through me as she caresses it. “And I love him.”
“How strange, huh, Corbin?” Mother asks as she looks at us.
“He does look happy.”
Cami smiles as she turns to look at them. “Does he?”
They nod and it makes her laugh. I take her in my arms and spin her away as a song comes on that I like and take her out to dance with me. “You make me happy, baby.”
She giggles as I touch her bottom and moves my hand up to her waist. “You make me happy too, naughty boy.”
Nuzzling her ear, I hiss, “You have no idea. Now, back to no talking, wench.”
She giggles then goes quiet as she looks into my eyes as I spin her around the half-empty dance floor. Silently, we gaze at each other as I think about what I’m about to do.
The music slows as the DJ changes the song. I pull her in close, she leans her head on my shoulder and I see a throng of women cascading into the ballroom. The escorts have arrived and I wanted to be long gone before they got here.
It’s been a good while since I’ve been at one of Papa’s parties. No one ever discusses people who aren’t present, so I know none of them has been told that I’m off limits. My presence in the middle of the dancefloor has several of them targeting me.
“Shit!” I hiss as I try to dance away with Cami before any of them can get to me. I hurry, moving Cami backward until I get to the stage, then I stop dancing and take her by the hand and go up on the stage with her looking at me with complete confusion.
“Cyprian, what the hell are you doing?” she asks me as I wave at the D.J.
I grin at her. “No talking except when I ask you something, remember?”
She nods and looks around at all the people who’ve shown up, suddenly. The DJ comes to me and I whisper, “Can you end the music for a moment? I need to make an announcement.”
He gives me a thumbs up and the music stops, immediately as he explains, “Cyprian has something he’d like to say.”
Looking at Cami, I can see she’s nervous as hell. Her eyes are the size of saucers. I give her hand a gentle squeeze to try to calm her down a bit.
She jumps as cheers come at me from the women who have crammed themselves near the stage. Shouts come from them, asking me to pick them. One flashes her tits and I decided it’s time to quiet them all down. “Ladies, and gentlemen, I have something I’d like to tell you all.”
“You’re hosting an orgy in your bedroom and all are invited!” one of the women shouts.
Cami looks at me like she thinks this is insane, which I know now, it is. “It’s okay, baby.”
“It’s not,” she whispers.
As I hold her hand, I look out at the crowd of people and say, “The lady next to me has done an amazing thing.”
“I can do amazing things too, Cyprian. Let me show you,” another woman calls out.
“No!” I shout. “No, don’t show me anything. Let me finish. You see the amazing thing this woman, Miss Camilla Petit, has done without even trying to, is show me a man who was hidden inside of me.”
“I knew he had to have more men inside of him,” another lady shouts. “There was just no way only one man could bring that much pleasure to so many!” Laughter follows her words and I find Cami tugging at my hand.
“Just be patient, baby,” I say as I hold her tight, not about to let her flee. “Okay, ladies, and I use that term loosely, how about you let me finish my tale?”
“Shush, everyone,” my father calls out from the back of the crowd.
A hush falls over them all and I go on, “This woman has brought out things in me I never knew I was capable of. She’s brought out love in me. True love, the likes I didn’t know existed until I found her.”
“Aww,” the crowd moans.
I reach into my pocket and pull out the little box and get on one knee, looking up at Cami. Her hands fly to cover her mouth and I see the tale-tale signs of tears pooling in her eyes.
Reaching up for her left hand, she gives it to me and I find it shaking. “Camilla Petit, you are a gift from above. Your kind heart, gentle spirit, and take-no-shit attitude have won my heart. It will forever be yours. So, I’d like to make this thing we have official. Camilla Petit, will you marry me?”
Her whole body is shaking and the room is so quiet you can hear a cricket chirping somewhere far away. Cami shocks me as she gets on her knees in front of me and nods as she says, “Yes.”
Slipping the ring on her finger, I say, “You have made me even happier than I was before. You are indeed an amazing woman and I am blessed that you’ve chosen me to spend your life with.”
Kissing her has everyone clapping and I lift her up as we kiss. When our mouths part, she looks out at the crowd with a huge smile. “Ladies, this man is mine! So, keep your hands to yourself, or you’ll have me to deal with. I do not share!”
Laughter fills the room and I gesture to the D.J. to get back to playing music. As we exit the stage I find my mother and father have made it to the front and are waiting for us.
“I never thought I’d see the day when my Cyprian would settle down,” Papa says as he pulls Cami into his arms for a hug. “Be good to him, please.”
“Not to worry,” Cami tells him. “I love him and will always be go
od to him.”
Mother grabs her up next as my father lets her go and shakes my hand. “Being married carries many responsibilities, Cyprian. That’s why I stayed the hell away from it. But, I suppose you’ve thought that all out. I suppose that’s why you’ve invested so much into her sister’s family. I hope that all works out for you.”
“Thanks, Papa.” I see my mother letting Cami go and tears are in her eyes for the first time ever.
She takes me in her arms and whispers, “Congratulations, my son. I hope you don’t plan on making me a grandmother anytime soon. That would spoil my reputation.” She laughs to show me she’s joking but I bet there’s a lot of truth behind her words.
“I am going to do my best to make you a grandmother as soon as I can talk that little spit fire into it.” Cami hears me and shakes her head. I nod and take her hand. “And now she and I must go. See you guys later in the week.”
They watch us as we leave and so do most of the guests in the room. Just as I think we’ve made it, one of the women from my past steps in front of us “Hey.”
“Trish, right?” I ask as if I don’t know
“Come on, Cyprian. Introduce me to the woman who has stolen you away from us all.”
“This is Cami,” I say then step to one side.
Trish takes Cami by her shoulder, making Cami stop and look back at her. “Can I help you?”
“I just want to know one thing, Cami. How’d you do it? How’d you get him to want you and only you?”
Cami looks at me then back at Trish. “I didn’t. It just happened.”
“That’s not true,” I say. “She stole my heart and she keeps it under lock and key.”
Trish cuts her eyes at me and frowns. “I’m sad to see you go, Cyprian.”
Cami looks down and I pull her close, wrapping my arm around her. “Everyone should grow up, sometime, Trish. Goodbye.”
Taking Cami, we walk away from the ballroom I watched parties going on in since I was a child. A thing no kid should’ve ever been able to watch. And I am happy to be walking away from that life. Happier than I’ve ever been.
How long can elation really last, I wonder…?
Chapter 6
CAMILLA
The ring on my finger weighs a ton. The diamond is huge and the platinum band is wide and full of smaller diamonds. “I suppose my finger will build muscle to be able to hold this monster up.”
Cyprian smiles and kisses the ring he’s placed on my finger. “I suppose it will have to because it’s never coming off you.”
As Ashton pulls away from Cyprian’s father’s mansion, I look at all the cars that have come in after we did. The place was filled to the brim and that was a weekend normalcy for the man who’s sitting next to me.
It’s not lost on me what all he has given up for me. Not one ugly woman was in that ballroom. All willing to give their bodies to Cyprian for the night or longer. And he only wants me. That’s hard to believe.
“Can you really walk away from that life, Cyprian? Can you really only ever want me?”
His fingers touch my lips. “Let’s go back to the no talking thing. Only say yes when I ask you something. I don’t want to talk about that place or that life. I want to talk about our future but, for tonight, I don’t want to talk about anything. I want to experience you and you, me. It’s been an eternity since I’ve let myself really feel you. So, what do you say to that?”
“Yes,” I say with a smile and find his mouth on mine.
Ashton drove us in the limousine, so we have complete privacy as he takes us home. The ride is about a half hour and from the way Cyprian is maneuvering me around, I think he has plans on starting this in the car.
Hoisting my dress up, he moves me to straddle him as I sit on his lap. His mouth leaves mine only long enough for him to say, “Set me free, baby.” His hands move mine to undo his pants then his move to my panties and he pulls them open. The Velcro snapping, loudly as he does. “Push.”
I do as he says and feel the ball he placed inside me, slip out. The weight of it had me staying acutely aware of my sex and now that the object is gone, I ache to be filled with something much larger that can move.
Lifting me up, he puts me back down on his exposed erection and we both moan. He keeps me perfectly still as my body stretches to fit him and I find myself shaking with raw sexuality. My stomach is tight as he lifts me, slightly.
“Cyprian, yes,” I moan as I feel his silky cock move inside me and nearly fall apart with how damn good it feels. “Oh, how I’ve missed this.”
His lips press against my neck for the longest time as he holds me still then moves me again. “I have to go slow. My body has never been celibate this long and it’s threatening to erupt much too quickly.”
“The hell with it, baby. Get this one over with and out of the way. I know you can build up, quickly.” I move faster and push his shoulders back, so he can watch me ride him.
He pushes my dress off my shoulders, it pools at my midsection. He pulls the bra apart in the middle as the Velcro comes apart, unleashing my tits and his hands move over them as he groans, “My God, I’ve missed these.”
His large cock rubs parts of me that have been left alone far too long. It has me going over the edge before he does, but the spasms my body is making has him coming along for the ride. Simultaneously, we moan out, “Yes!”
Pulling me to him, he kisses me long and softly. Making little pecks, he says, “I love you. I love you so damn much.”
“I love you, Cyprian. More than you will ever know.” I feel his cock stirring back to life inside of me and move my body to encourage the growth.
More kisses we pepper each other’s lips with and before I know it, the easy kisses have turned passionate. He moves and I’m on my back on the floor. His movements are hard and pounding as he takes me.
I am his for the taking. This man can have me any way he wants me. For the first time, I have completely given myself away. Mind, body, and soul, yet I’ve never felt more free in my entire life.
With one chance meeting, I found the man who was the missing part of me. And he has me to fill the place in him that had lain empty all this time.
His movements are harsh and so is our breathing. The last of the street lights leave us in the dark and he hurries to meet his end, taking me to mine. With a grunt and a groan, he’s spilled himself inside me once again. “We’re about to be home.”
Getting up, he pulls me up with him and we secure our clothing. My hair’s a bit of a mess, so I know our little escapade will not go unnoticed by Ashton when he opens the door for us. As we pull up to the gate, I see we’ve both managed to put all our body parts back where they belong, beneath our clothes. “We did it!”
Cyprian laughs. “Did you think we wouldn’t?”
With a nod, I slide onto the seat and lean my head on his wide shoulder. “I had my doubts. You’ve made me feel so much better.”
“And it’s not over yet,” he kisses my cheek as we come to a stop in front of the house. Cyprian pushes a button that rolls the middle between us and the driver down. “I got it from here, Ashton. Thanks, see you in the morning.”
“Yes, sir,” Ashton says and I find myself feeling elated, I don’t have to face him with my hair wild and him well-aware of what we’ve been up to while he was driving us home.
As soon as he has me out of the car, Cyprian picks me up like I’m already his bride and carries me to the door. “Punch in the code, baby.”
I punch it in on the keypad that’s attached to the doorframe and in he takes me. All the way up the stairs and straight to our bedroom. Placing my feet on the floor, he steps back and spins his finger in a circle, a gesture for me to turn around.
As I turn around, I feel him move close behind me, pushing my hair to the side and kissing my neck. “I’ve missed you.”
His tongue travels up the length of my neck until he reaches my ear then he nibbles on the lobe. My body sparks and I’m ready for him again. How,
I don’t know, but I am.
Unzipping my dress in the back, he lets it fall to the floor. Then peels away my clothing until I am naked and he’s still dressed. Taking a step back, he looks me up and down and makes a growl as he points to the bed.
I walk away from him and get on the bed, lying back and waiting to see what he’s going to have me do. He makes his way to me, picking up the bag he brought home earlier and dumping the contents on the bed. I watch him as he picks up the small whip. “Do you trust me?”
“Yes,” I tell him as I’ve already tested the little thing. It’s not that I don’t trust him. Wait, that is exactly why I tried it out! But he doesn’t need to know that.
“Get on your hands and knees and bring your ass to the edge of the bed, wench.” He smiles to show me he’s not really being a prick.
I smile too and do as he says. Without a word, I wait for him to do whatever he’s going to do to me. One hand he runs over my ass, I quiver with desire and fight the urge to beg him to hurry things along. How he has me aching for him, I have no clue but he does!
I hear the sound of his zipper as his hand still roams over the hills of my bottom. The rustle of clothing lets me know he’s finally joining me in being naked and soon my eyes will fill with his fine form.
Pressing his cock against my ass, has me shivering with need for him. “Cyprian,” I moan as he toys with me.
A smack with the whip is what I get as he says, “No talking, wench.”
“Yes,” I say but it comes out sensual and he moans and smacks my ass with the whip again. “Yes, yes!”
“You like that, wench? You like it when I punish you?” He hits me with the soft leather again and I find myself soaking wet with how excited it makes me.
“Yes.”
“Do you belong to me?” he asks me and hits me again.
