Truth or Lies

by JA Johnston

  My breath hitches and I pull on my restraints as my legs lift a little. “Keep your legs down Amelia”, Lucas demandingly whispers. He rubs his scruff across my chest as he makes his way to my right breast. Again, he sucks my nipple into his mouth with a moan.

  I feel the bed spring back as Lucas gets off the bed. I feel my right leg being lifted and my foot placed on his left shoulder. Then my left leg is placed on his right shoulder. He places kisses up the left side of my thigh, then up my right. Lucas’ hands are up by my hips, kneading me.

  My breathing is becoming harsher. There’s a warm feeling deep inside me and a longing between my legs as I anticipate his next move. His tongue licks me from bottom to top, then he sucks my clit into his mouth with a moan. “You taste so good.” He mumbles. He continues to suck and lick while using two fingers to stretch me inside. The warm feeling is now ablaze with want; I push my feet against his shoulders. I pull harder on my restraints. My breathing is deeper; I can feel my release building. Lucas sucks my clit one last time and my climax releases! I can feel fluid running down my ass.

  “Damn!” Lucas exclaims when he releases his mouth. “You’ve never done that before.”

  “What? What did I do?” I say gravelly.

  I feel Lucas stand, he leans over me and removes the scarf from my eyes. He slowly comes into focus as I stare at him. “What?” He’s grinning ear-to-ear and he’s drenched.

  “You squirted.” He’s beaming. “You’ve never done that.” He’s rubbing my legs, “I can’t wait any longer Amelia. Damn that was so hot!” He’s holding his erection and places it at my entrance. He enters me as fast as he can.

  “Oh GOD!” I shout. He’s moving so fast; my climax is building again. I’m on the edge, my desire for release is burning and climbing faster and faster with each thrust. He uses his thumb and rubs my clitoris. “Oh shit!” I squeeze my legs around him.

  “Come on Amelia, give it to me again.” He demands with a fire in his eyes.

  “Lucas!” I scream my release, my breath hitches, I pull my restraints as my eyes roll in the back of my head. I see stars and feel as if I’m floating. I close my eyes. My breathing heavy. What the hell was that?

  “Amelia. Fuck!” I hear Lucas yell as he stills inside me, filling me with his release. His hands rub the top of my thighs and he slowly moves inside me.

  I slowly begin to open my eyes, only to find Lucas staring at me in amazement. “That was the hottest thing ever!” he says lovingly. He reaches over and unties each wrist while still inside me. He’s leaning over me resting his elbows on either side of my head. “Are you ok?” He kisses me.

  “I don’t know what you did, but I am more than ok.” I’m still out of breath. He chuckles against my neck.

  Seventeen years, four months

  I WAKE UP wrapped in Adams’ arms. The warmth of his front against my back makes me feel safe, loved. I haven’t felt this in so long, that I forgot what it feels like. His right hand is resting between my breasts, so I place my hand on top of his and trace his knuckles. My left-hand goes in search under the pillow for his left hand. He must be awake because he grasps my hand, the palm of his hand on the top of my hand. We entwine our fingers.

  “Good morning” he moans in my ear and pulls me closer to him.

  I rub my bottom against his morning erection. “Good morning.” I say heavily.

  He groans, “How long have you been awake?”

  “Not that long” I squeeze his hand. “I enjoy waking up like this, with you, in your arms.” He squeezes me tighter and nuzzles into my hair. He places a kiss just behind my ear.

  “I enjoy this too.” Now he’s kissing my neck and grinding his erection against me. His right-hand moves to my breast, he squeezes it and begins to pinch my nipple.

  “Mmmm…” I moan. I slide my hand down my stomach, between my legs and begin to stroke my clit.

  “Are you touching yourself?” He asks huskily.

  “Yes.” I whisper, as his kisses glide over my shoulder and his hand guides the way. I move slightly, but he stops me, “No, stay just like this.”

  He removes my hand and replaces it with his. “God, you’re so wet.” He slides his index finger into me, pumping it in and out. He alternates pumping his finger and flicking my clit. “I need you.”

  He removes his hand and takes my leg and places it on top of his, so now I am open wider. We’re still on our sides, him behind me, as he places his erection at my entrance. “I love you” he whispers as he enters me.

  “Oh Adam” I manage to get out when he enters me. He begins to pump in me and I move with him. He brings his hand back towards my clit and rubs. I moan.

  Faster and faster he thrusts. Our breathing is heavier. I can feel my orgasm building fast. “I can’t hold back much longer Amelia.” I squeeze his left hand as my release overtakes me and scream into the pillow.

  Adam’s release follows right after mine. He gives one last thrust and holds it, squeezing me closer to him. He moans into my neck. We lay there, still embraced catching our breath. I don’t know how long we remain this way, I lean my head back and he places a kiss just below my ear.

  “As much as I really enjoy morning sex, I don’t like how quick it is.” I sigh. “I also miss kissing you first thing.”

  Adam chuckles. I can feel his chest vibrate with laughter against my back. “I don’t like how quick it is either,” he brings our hands together between my breasts, “as far as kissing you, I thought you didn’t like morning breath?”

  “I don’t like morning breath. It would ruin the mood and the sex.” I say.

  After we finally manage to get out of bed and shower, I brush my teeth. I enter the bedroom, just as Adam pulls up his pants. I grin and walk towards him. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him. His arms come around my waist and pulls me towards him as our kiss deepens. We finally finish our kiss and we look into one another’s eyes. “Good morning.” We both say at the same time and laugh.

  “How late are you working today?” I ask as my hand glides down his torso.

  “Not that late, we’re having dinner with my brother, Lucas, and Alex” he says. “You didn’t forget, did you?”

  “No. Are you sure you’re ready for me to meet your friends?” I don’t know what he’s told them about me.

  Adam wraps his arms around me again. “Yes. You’ve already met my parents. My brother will be there tonight and my friends. Why wouldn’t I want you to meet them?”

  “What have you told them about me?” I whisper my question.

  “If you’re asking about the escort company, no. You were honest with my parents and told them. I’m sure Ben knows now.” He puts his finger under my chin and tilts my head up. “I want you to be yourself. The woman that has captured my heart.” His eyes are smiling.

  I bite my lower lip. “Okay.” I smile up at him.

  Adam and I are the first to arrive at the restaurant. We are seated, talking about our day while we wait for the others. I hear some men approaching, “There he is!” I hear a deep voice say.

  Adam stands and turns around, locking the man in a friendly embrace. I stand and turn around, he looks familiar. “Ben, this is Amelia. Amelia, my brother Ben.”

  I extend my hand towards Ben, which he looks at and shakes his head. “Anyone able to put up with this guy deserves a hug.” He wraps his arms around my shoulder and squeezes. My hands on his waist.

  I laugh, “um, thank you.” I grin. What am I supposed to say to that?

  “Okay, hands off her Ben.” Adams says in a light tone. “Lucas, Alex, this is Amelia.” Ben steps out of the way and oh shit! You’ve got to be kidding me.

  “Amelia?” Lucas says questioning. “Nice to see you again.”

  “Hi, Lucas.” I say

  “You two know each other?” Adam asks, looking at me.

  “Amelia and I had a class together in college, Public Speaking to be exact.” Lucas grins.

  Adam grins and shakes his head. “Alex…” h
e motions his hand towards me.

  I extend my hand toward Alex, “Hello Alex, how are you?”

  “Very good Amelia. You look very well too.” Alex adds.

  “You two know each other?” Lucas asks looking between the two of us.

  Crap! I’m about to speak when Ben cuts me off; “Now I remember. You were with Alex at the meeting a couple of months ago.”

  “What meeting?” Adam questions looking at me, again.

  “Amelia needed to meet with me over an important matter and I had the one with you and Ben; which you did not attend I may add. So, I thought it was easier just for her to attend that one, then go directly into what she and I needed to discuss.” Alex states.

  I’m staring into Adam's eyes. Please don’t ask anymore. You promised you did not want to know who my clients were if we ever met any. Please, please, don’t ask any more questions.

  “Is that the day I ran into you in the elevator?” Lucas asks.

  “Yes.” Is all that I can manage to say.

  We all take our seats and order drinks. Adam’s hand grazes the top of my thigh and squeezes it. I look at him and he smiles at me. I place my hand on top of his and we entwine our fingers. Thank god! He’s not going to ask any more questions.

  “So, Amelia, what do you do for a living that you would need to discuss business with my Uncle?” Lucas asks.

  I take a deep breath and squeeze Adam’s hand under the table. “I run an escort service.”

  I believe I’ve stunned them. They’re all silent and staring at me with wide eyes. Ben clears his throat; “You’re an escort?” he questions me then looks at Adam.

  “No, I’m not an escort. I run an escort company.” I say, tightening my grip on Adam.

  “Is that how you met Adam?” Lucas asks in a serious tone.

  “No.” I chuckle and look at Adam, who also chuckles. “I ran into Adam at the park.”

  Shaking his head, Adam laughs; “She ran right into me and fell backward.” He’s looking at me smiling. “We introduced ourselves, but then she ran off. I didn’t see her again for another month when she walked into me.” He beams.

  “Getting coffee.” I grin up at Adam.

  “How do you know Alex then?” Ben questions breaking the spell Adam and I are under.

  I look to Alex. I cannot say that he’s a client. He knows this and he’s just staring at me. “You’re a client?!” Lucas states questionably towards Alex.

  Alex turns his attention to Lucas, “Yes, I am.” He sighs. He looks towards me, “I had some concerns over one of her employees and wanted to bring it to her attention.”

  I’m relieved. I had no idea what Alex was going to say. I’m not sure how Adam would handle Alex having been one of my clients.

  Crisis adverted and thankfully the conversation has changed topic. This was a very strange evening to be sitting across from Alex, while I’m holding my boyfriend’s hand.

  As we get up to leave, Lucas asks if I have a business card. “Did you just ask for a business card to an escort service?” Ben asks jokingly.

  “Yes, I did.” Lucas sighs and runs a hand through his hair. “I’m busy a lot, so I don’t get to date as much as I would like. Then functions come up and I have no date. I bring my mother or secretary.” He shakes his head.

  I pull a card out of my purse and hand it to him. Ben gestures his hand for one as well. This has been a very unusual night, and I’m ready to go home.

  We walk into Adam’s condo when he says; “Alex.”

  I turn and look at him; “Alex, what?”

  He walks towards me slowly, hands in pockets; “was he your client?”

  “Adam, I thought we agreed that you did not want to know who my clients were?”

  “I don’t know, it’s just…” he sighs.

  “I can’t tell you anyway. As an employee, we sign non-disclosure agreements.” I place my arms around his mid-section, “does it really matter?” I look up into his eyes. “I don’t want to know all your ex-girlfriends.”

  He’s staring down at me; his hands are still in his pockets. He sighs and pulls his hands out and places them on either side of my head. “You’re right. I don’t want or need to know.” He places a kiss on my forehead. “You’re mine.” His hands find their way into my hair and he pulls me in for a long deep kiss. Our tongues are entwining, he’s pulling my hair, we’re moaning, and my hands are roaming up the top of his chest, toying with his shirt buttons. When all of a sudden, RING! RING!

  “Ignore it!” Adam moans and pulls me in tighter. Moving his hands from my hair down my back, across my ass... RING! RING!

  I stop the kiss, Adam groans. I push off him and grab my phone from my purse. “Hello.” The voice on the other end sends all the dirty thoughts I was having of Adam out of my mind.

  “Amelia, it’s Phillip, there’s a problem.”

  Seventeen years, four months

  LUCAS AND I are walking hand in hand towards the elevators, “Hold the door” he calls out. We step inside and there’s Alex, Adam, Ben and Dan. Dan is holding a drink carrier filled with coffee. I walk over towards him and sniff the air above the carrier. “Mmmm…”

  “Um, Mels.” Dan chuckles.

  I look up at him and growl. “Whoa! Who woke you up?” Dan looks at Lucas with a smirk.

  “Not me.” Lucas holds up his hands smiling.

  “Is that pumpkin lattes I smell?” I ask with a euphoric groan. I really miss coffee!

  “Yes, but I thought you don’t like the taste of coffee right now?” he asks grinning.

  “I don’t, but I like the smell.” I sniff the aroma again. “You’re coming to my office with me, and this coffee too.”

  Everyone on the elevator is chuckling at me. “What?” I look up them. No one says anything, but they just shake their heads.

  “Before I forget, Sam will probably be calling you soon.” Dan states. I growl at him again. “Whoa! Now I know who woke you up.” He laughs, “what time did she wake you?”

  “Five thirty this morning.” Lucas yawns.

  “I am so glad I am not my sister.” Dan says with a whistle, then he looks down at me, “please remember that she loves you just as much as I do, so please go gentle on her.” I just groan at him.

  The elevator doors open on my floor; “Let’s go.” I pull Dan’s arm as everyone chuckles. Lucas stops me, “Love you!” he whispers with a kiss on my lips. “Love you too!”

  By the time we enter my office, Dan has only 1 cup of coffee left. “Am I allowed to drink this or do you want to keep this to sniff?” he grins at me as he sits down.

  “Drink it.” I say grumpily. I really miss coffee, but it all tastes horrible after the first sip. I sit down and Chloe brings me a mug of decaffeinated Irish Breakfast Tea. “Thank you, Chloe.” I take a sip, “Has Reynolds picked up the contracts for his meeting today?”

  “Yes, you just missed him. He told me to tell you that he would bring them back by this afternoon. The meeting was rescheduled for eleven.”

  “Okay. File them in the top drawer for me to check over. Lucas and I have a doctor’s appointment at one.”

  Chloe is smiling, “Are you going to find out?”

  “Yes, we are. Hopefully, they’ll be able to see.” I smile and bite my bottom lip. “I just want them to be healthy.” I say as I look down and rub my belly. It feels so strange when they move and my stomach looks huge.

  “I think that is what Sam is calling you about.” Dan smiles at me then takes a sip of his coffee. “She wants to talk about a ‘gender reveal party’ or something like that.”

  “What is that?” I ask. I’ve never heard of such a thing.

  “Oh, that’s the new thing.” Chloe says. “You can get a cake or cupcakes and when you cut into them the filling reveals the baby’s gender. Blue for boy, pink for girl.” She stares at me, “Guess if you have one of each, you could do two types.” She shrugs her shoulders, but I notice that as she was talking, she moved closer to Dan and her hand is no
w resting on his shoulder.

  I’m staring at her with my mouth open wide. “That just sounds gross. Blue filling, pink filling.” It really does. “I’m not going to eat something like that. Cake is disgusting.”

  Dan is laughing, “Since when?” his eyes are glazing with his laughter. “You love cake!” He leans forward and as he does, Chloe’s retracts her hand down to her side.

  I grumble my reply, “My taste has changed.” I sigh and sit down, forgetting to question what I just witnessed between Dan and Chloe. “Everything has changed. There’s food that I love that now tastes funny or disgusts me just looking at it. There’s food I don’t like and am now craving.” I lean back in my chair and close my eyes, “Same thing goes with drinks and smells.” I run my hands up my face, “Lucas read that it’s normal. But I don’t feel normal.” I whine into my hands.

  I hear the office door close and open my eyes. Chloe is no longer with us. “Are you ok Mels?” Dan asks with much concern.

  I look at my best friend and tears begin to stream down my face. Dan jumps up from his chair and kneels down in front of me. “What’s going on?” he takes my hands.

  “I don’t know.” Tears are spilling down my cheek. My hands begin shaking and I begin taking deep breaths to stop. “Last week I had a panic attack.” More deep breaths, “Lucas wasn’t home, and I didn’t tell him.” I look into Dan’s blue eyes, “I never told him about them.”

  Dan is rubbing his thumbs across the back of my hands. “Deep breaths Mels.” Dan continues rubbing my hands and taking deep breaths with me. I think back to the first panic attack I had. Dan was with me and ran to get Grams. My therapist told Grams that it had to do with the trauma of watching my mother die. I was too young to be put on medication, so he taught me this technique.

  Deep cleansing breaths, let go of the fear, love those who I have with me. Then he said if someone was with me whom I had a deep connection to, for them to touch me, soothingly. But not to smother, just small touches.
