  “About you having clothes on. Even though my dick was so hard it felt like it was going to burst, I think I like having you naked around me.”

  “Nope sorry. Once you tell me to put clothes on they don’t come off again. You’re stuck with me this way now.”

  “What forever?” he says opening his eyes wide and putting his hand to his chest like he’s having a heart attack.

  “Yep, you’ve done your dash now.”

  He puts his hand up to his forehead and pretends to faint. I shake my head at him and roll my eyes. “You’re so lame.”

  He looks back at me and smirks wickedly. “You are.”

  I laugh a belly laugh, and for the first time in ages I feel nothing but complete happiness. Nothing is overwhelming me or making me question what I’m doing. I just feels right, really tacky and lame, but right.

  He takes my hand, smiles and interlaces our fingers. A heat surges through me and I love the way this feels, and even though I’m guarding my heart, I will let myself love this feeling.

  “Thanks for this,” I say picking up a triangle of toast with my free hand and raising it in the air.

  “Well, it’s the least I could do. Seeing as you keep satisfying me, I thought I might try to satisfy you, in every way, including your hunger.”

  I smile and a tingle runs up my spine making my body shiver. I bite and swallow the toast and take a sip of my coffee. It’s delicious and just the caffeine hit I need. I’m never normally up before one and today I woke up at ten, so I’m still a little sleepy. Midas strolls in and rubs up against me, looking up with his big brown adorable eyes.

  “Hey Midas, where you been all morning?”

  Hudson chuckles as I pat Midas’ head. “Probably out chasing the neighbour’s cat around the backyard. I swear that’s where he gets most of his exercise.”

  I chuckle and look back up at Hudson. “So what time do you have to leave?”

  “In about ten minutes, but I’ll message you when I get a second to see how your day is going.”

  “Okay cool. Don’t try to sext me though. I’m a lady, not some chick you picked up in a trashy bar. Oh… wait…” I joke.

  He laughs and shakes his head at me. “No sexting, got it.”

  “You can, however, send me naked selfies anytime you like.”

  He laughs and tightens his hand on mine.

  “You really are something special, you know that, Vee?”

  “Nah, I’m just normal, plain old Violet. There’s nothing special about me,” I say because it’s true. I’m definitely not special because of my past and I’m sure if he found out that I was having sex for money for three and a half of those five years, he wouldn’t think I was so special after all.

  “Shut up, I’m always right and I’m the man in this relationship and what I say goes and you must abide by my rules. I will control you and blah, blah… here’s where I bang my chest like an ape, right?” he jokes.

  I laugh and roll my eyes. “Like you could ever control me, Rock. I don’t abide by anyone’s rules except my own. If you wanna act like a Neanderthal typical male, then you picked up the wrong girl, Mister,” I reply.

  He smirks and shakes his head. “I told you, Vee. You’re all woman. Definitely not a girl, and I was never a fan of the Neanderthal anyway, they have too much hair and don’t manscape like I do,” he teases.

  I laugh and he smiles at me adoringly. I know that look because it’s the same way I’m looking at him. Even through the witty banter, I can still see that he actually likes me and the feeling is definitely mutual.

  He pulls up my hand in his and kisses the back of it softly. I smile and then he picks up a piece of toast and starts to eat his brunch. So I follow suit. We eat in silence, but our eyes are on each other. We are both smiling and I know he’s thinking about me being naked under him, just like I’m thinking about him being naked and over me. It seems to be where our minds always end up around each other. We’re a couple of horny teenagers, well we’re acting like it anyway, and I guess thirty and thirty-two aren’t dramatically far apart from being a teenager.

  Oh, who the hell am I kidding?

  Normal thirty-year-olds don’t act this way, ravaging each other every chance they get. Most thirty-year-olds have a family, a mortgage and some extra kilos making them feel unsexy. I guess that’s why Hudson and I are so unique, we’re kinda the same. And I couldn’t be happier about that.

  He takes the last bite of his toast and sips the last of his coffee as I drink the last of mine. Even though the last five minutes has been in silence, it has been comfortable, no awkwardness, nothing but a comfortable vibe surging between us. I pass the last piece of my toast under the table and give it to Midas. He happily takes it from me and walks off to the other room to eat it.

  “You spoil him,” Hudson says breaking the silence.

  “Yeah, but he’s so cute how could I not?”

  He smiles and kisses my hand in his again and then lets it go and stands from the table taking the toast plates and his mug to the sink. I stand and follow behind him wrapping my arms around his waist and pulling his back to my front.

  “I hope you have a good day at work, honey,” I whisper in his ear and then bite on his lobe.

  He chuckles and turns in my grip facing me. “You too, sweetie pie. Have a wonderful day and I expect dinner on the table when I get home.”

  I roll my eyes and click my tongue on an exhale. “Neanderthal,” I say.

  He leans in close to my lips. “Only for you baby.” His hands grip tightly onto my arse cheeks as he spins us around so I’m leaning against the kitchen counter. He grinds into me moving his hands up and into my hair forcing my mouth to his. My hands run up his muscular back inside his jacket and up his shirt, feeling all his muscles tensing against me. His tongue glides against mine, while he kisses me so full of passion and wanting it takes my breath away. A low growl echoes through his chest and he slowly pulls his lips from mine and rests our foreheads together. I look into his eyes and they’re burning with an intense lust for me. It makes my panties wet, again.

  “If I don’t leave now, I’m going to get sacked for never going back into work again. I’ll be too busy fucking your brains out to go back in, so on that note,” he kisses me again quickly and then backs away forcing our bodies apart, “I better go, but I’ll message you later on and send you a naked selfie of me leaning on my Harley.”

  “Okay deal. I’ll leave at the same time—”

  “You don’t have to leave just because I am,” he interrupts.

  “No, it’s okay. I need to go home and have a shower and change my clothes before I go into work,” I reply and he nods taking my hand and walking with me to the front door.

  “I’ll just grab my bag.”

  He nods and I run back into his bedroom and grab my handbag. I walk back out to the front door to see him squatting down and smooching with Midas. I stop in my tracks and look at him as he caresses his dog’s fur.

  “Do you like her boy?” He pats him a little more. “Yeah, I like her too,” he says and I smile and bite my bottom lip. “What’s that? You think you could do her doggy style? Yeah, me too bro,” he says making me laugh out loud. “I saw you there watching me, thought I’d make a joke of it,” he says as I walk across to him. He reaches out to take my hand. “C’mon Miss Dyson, let’s get you out of here before I change my mind,” he says pulling me toward the door.

  I chuckle and walk outside. It’s a beautiful summer’s day. The birds are singing while a slow breeze wafts all around me filling my senses with the smell of fragrant flowers. I look back at Hudson as he locks the door.

  “Isn’t it beautiful?” I say looking back out at the gorgeous day.

  “Violet, you’re far more beautiful and breathtaking than a summer’s day. Looking at the weather today does nothing for me. Looking at you naked in my kitchen, however, well I’m getting hard now just thinking about it.” I laugh and he looks down to his crotch where a bulge is star
ting to form.

  “Well, it’s a shame that’s going to waste. I feel like getting on my knees and sucking you so hard that your eyes bulge out of your head and your balls constrict so tight that they want to implode while you fuck my mouth… hard,” I whisper in his ear.

  He opens his eyes wide and scratches his head. “Fuck Vee, I think I hate you a little bit right now. That and the fact I might’ve come in my pants a little,” he says.

  I chuckle and lean in kissing his lips softly. “Have a good day at work.”

  He shakes his head. “Fuck no. I’m not going to work now. We’re going back inside right now.”

  I smirk and shake my head. Running my hand along his collarbone and across his shoulder, then I walk away from him toward my car.

  “No, Mr. Stone. You have to go to work and so do I.” I continue toward my car, he stands there rearranging his cock in his pants while staring at me with his mouth open and his eyes wide.

  “No way, Vee. You can’t say something like that and then leave me hanging all day,” he says as I pull the keys from my bag and unlock the car.

  “Have a good day, Hudson,” I smirk as I look back at him while I get into the car.

  “Violet wait,” he calls out and starts to jog over to my car.

  I chuckle slightly. I know what I did was mean, but I still got a thrill out of it. He reaches my door and his hard cock tenting in his pants is in line with my face. I smirk as he bends down to bring his face in line with mine.

  “I need a kiss to tide me over,” he says as he squats.

  “Okay, one kiss.”

  He smiles leaning in and kisses me passionately. So passionately it makes me start to rethink about going back inside and sucking him off. His tongue collides with mine as his hand pulls my face into his. I moan slightly and he starts to chuckle while he’s kissing me. I break away from the kiss and look at him creasing my eyebrows.

  “What?” I ask defensively.

  “We can’t help ourselves can we?” he says making my scowl turn into a smirk.

  “No we can’t, now fuck off and go to work.”

  He chuckles and leans in kissing me quickly one more time before he stands up and shuts my door.

  “I’ll see you tonight?” he asks, obviously looking for reassurance.

  I smile. “Yep tonight, I’ll come straight after work.”

  “Have a good day,” he says, standing back while I start my car.

  “You too,” I reply and then put the car in reverse and pull out of his driveway. I look back in the rearview and he’s standing in the driveway watching me drive off while rearranging his dick in his pants. I giggle to myself and then look back at the road ahead and drive home.

  I pull into my driveway and park in the parking garage. The roller door comes down and I get out of the car and make my way inside the house through the side door. When I get inside, something feels different. Odd. I feel cold, not the usual warmth I get whenever I walk in here. I swallow the lump that’s formed in my throat as unease washes all over me. This place is one of my sanctuaries, it’s my place to be with my boys and I always feel like they are here with me whenever I am here. But right now, I feel so completely alone. I look around my house and see the pictures of Danny, Caiden and me together as a family and it feels almost foreign. Like that was another life, or maybe a lifetime ago. I don’t like the feelings washing over me. I always found this place to be one of calm and peace, but at the moment I feel slightly panicked and anxious because for the first time ever I can’t feel Danny with me, and that scares the shit out of me. I start to walk toward the bedroom and even though the house is filled with light, it seems dark somehow.

  I walk in and pick up our wedding photograph and I look at his face. He’s smiling so happily and usually looking at him makes me smile. Instead, I feel like I’m betraying someone, but I can’t figure out if I feel like it’s Danny or Hudson I’m betraying? I’ve never felt this uneasy in my life and I don’t like it one bit. I swallow hard as I stare at the photograph. I try to remember what Danny smelt like. What it felt like when he touched me, but all my senses are filled with Hudson. I shake my head and put the photograph down on the dresser. I have no idea what the fuck is going on right now.

  My sanctuary is suddenly feeling like a hell I want to escape. I never thought I’d ever feel so alone here, and it’s only now that I realise how completely and utterly alone I have been for the last five years. Sure I felt Danny was with me, but in reality could that even be possible? Was the dream I had just the wake-up call I needed to make me see that the life I’m living, is one of solitude and regrets? I can’t live like this anymore. I can’t watch my life fly by wishing like hell every day that I could have them back. That’s never going to happen. It’s not possible.

  They’re both dead, Violet. They’re dead, and you need to move on with your life!

  I exhale loudly and shake my head to clear my mind. This place that I thought of as my haven is now like a strange place I’ve been to once, but I can’t quite remember how or when I was here last… if that even makes sense? I bite my lip as I look around the room at all of Danny’s things.

  I don’t want to let him go.

  I don’t think I ever can.

  But a part of me feels like I need to push him to the side, not remove him completely, but just make way for something new. Something different, and all I can think of is Hudson, and maybe he is that something new to bring me back to the here and now and out of the lonely rut of a life I was living.

  I take a deep breath and walk to the shower to wash away all my nervous energy.

  I pull up at work after having the longest shower in history. I spent my time in there just thinking, about everything. Everything that’s happened. Everything that could happen. I’m not in a great headspace right now and to be honest I just want to curl up on Hudson’s sofa in some comfy pajamas, in Hudson’s arms with Midas resting his head on my lap. I want that to be my new normal. Whether Hudson wants that, I guess I will have to find out, but what I do know is that he’s working his way into my system, and his dog has worked his way into my heart.

  I’ve packed a few things in a bag so I don’t have to go back home tomorrow morning. A fresh set of clothes and some toiletries. I think it will be easier to go to work from his house rather than going home and then into work.

  But right now I have to focus on today. I walk inside my building to see Angel is talking with Thor. She’s giggling and flirting which makes me smile. I still feel a little unnerved. Being at my home felt unnatural and I have never felt that way there… ever. I try to push it to the back of my mind and smile at Angel as I walk past her to my office. She looks back at me with a giddy schoolgirl grin and I shake my head while closing the door to my office, leaving her there with Thor. I hope they get together. I know Angel doesn’t like that fact that he’s a male escort, but her feelings are definitely there and I can tell he likes her just as much.

  Talking about office relationships makes me think of Star and Papi. I wonder how they’re going? I haven’t heard from him so I guess no news is good news, right? I open up my laptop while the curtains move gently in the soft breeze blowing in from across the ocean. The fresh air is helping with my nervous tension and I’m glad that this place still feels like a second home. I would hate it if I couldn’t stand to be here as well as home, that would just throw everything off balance.

  I take a deep breath and go to work on the accounts when I hear an almighty smash. I look up and wonder what the hell that was. I immediately jump up from my seat and rush to my office door and open it to see Thor holding Angel tightly and they’re both staring at the office window near the main entrance which has been completely shattered.

  “What the fuck?” I say loudly as I walk out to the foyer.

  “I don’t know what happened, Boss. I was talking to Thor and the next thing I know a brick is being hurled through the window. I wasn’t watching so I have no idea who did it, but we did hear a mot
orbike drive off straight after it happened,” Angel says. Thor lets go of her and walks over to the shattered window and looks up and down the street.

  “Fucking hell!” I say as I run my hand through my hair.

  A couple of the girls walk out and we all stand around in the foyer, not knowing what to do.

  “Do you want me to call the cops?” Angel asks.

  I exhale. I know I should, but I honestly can’t be bothered with their bullshit today. “No, they’ll just want to go through all our paperwork and licenses. I can’t be fucked with that today. Was there anything attached to the brick?” I ask as Thor picks it up and looks at it.

  He shakes his head. “Nah Boss, just looks like a normal brick. We really need to get those security cameras installed outside like we’d planned,” he states and I nod my head in agreement.

  “Yeah, I’m kicking myself I didn’t listen to you now, Thor. Can I leave you to organise it as soon as possible? Obviously someone has a grudge against this place and if this keeps happening then it’ll be good to get a view of the fuckers who are doing the damage. I just don’t understand why they’ve done it,” I say through gritted teeth.

  “Sure Boss, I’ll get on it now. Angel, are you okay?” he asks taking her in his arms.

  “Yeah, I’m fine, just a little shocked,” she answers and he nods, kissing her forehead and walking off.

  “Thanks, Thor,” I say as he walks past. He nods and I walk toward the window and shake my head. “What the fuck is going on around here? Is everyone okay?” I say as I look back at my girls. They all nod and I run my hand through my hair again. “Right Angel, call a glazier to get this mess fixed up as soon as possible. I don’t care about call-out fees or whatever just get them here, no matter the cost. We can’t have our building open for all to see in.”

  The windows are one way so we can see out, but passersby can’t see in. And now everyone can see everything. I’m so beyond angry right now and I’m pretty sure that this and the beating of Star are related. I need to call Papi and see what the fuck is going on. I shake my head and exhale again as I turn around. While I’m walking, my heeled shoes make cracking noises on the broken glass as I head back toward my office.
