“What do you mean if I don’t come through?”

" I can’t complain when I get to gang bang you.  You were amazing.”

“What are you talking about?” I asked.

“Why don’t you ask Mark?  I am sure you remember that he asked you to murder his wife last night.  You said you came through and as your payment, you were to gang bang everyone.  If you didn’t everyone is going to see the pictures and videos.”

“Who?” I asked horrified. 

I didn’t know Mark was married.  I guess that was the reason he always stayed at my house.

“Mary, you know Mark’s wife.” Johnny went on. 

Mark had played me this whole time, calling me mistress only because I liked to be gang banged and how the punishment had unfolded.  I never knew that he was married. 

“Mark was married?” I gasped.

“Don’t you remember anything, Stacy?”

“I thought Mark and I were dating!”

“Mark date?  He has a harem of girls he says that to all the time.  You are just one in a million.  He always goes for the college girls that end up screwing up by having drugs on them.  What no one knows is the fact he is peddling them just as fast as you are buying them.”

I looked horrified at him.  Mark had made me feel loved as if this was real what we had.  My body had craved his attention, and I was still curious enough if I killed his wife or not.  A part of me didn’t even want to know what they got me to do.  I was sure if Mary was dead, that I would be the first to find out. 

I found myself quiet in class as I refused to make eye contact with Mark, even when he called on me to answer questions.  My mind wasn’t anywhere close to here at the moment.

By the time class ended he knew that there was something going on.

“Where are you going?  We are supposed to be going on a date tonight.  You can’t exactly where that.  I told you to wear one of those short dresses that I like.”

I let out a sigh.  “I met up with Johnny; actually he was waiting by my car.”

“Oh, that’s good.  I didn’t see him when I left.  We are going to be late for our picnic if you don't hurry.”

I was suddenly the timid person who was trying to shy away from Mark. 

“I can’t even fathom what I found out about last night.  I knew my mind was blurry, and I couldn’t understand it.  I found out you were married, and you had me kill your wife.”

“I am not married?  Did Johnny really tell you that?  He was nowhere near us last night.  You drank too much vodka and you passed out on our bed for crying out loud.”

I wasn’t sure what to think, but I knew that someone was lying one way or another.  I wasn’t sure at the moment if it was Johnny or if it was Mark.  All I knew was the fact I couldn’t remember what happened either way. 

I tried hard not to think that Mark could be capable of doing this to me, but tears were springing down my cheek. 

“I don’t think I can handle this.  I don’t think I can handle killing people or being told that if I don’t follow through that pictures and videos will surface.  My whole life has been turned upside down since I saw Johnny this morning.

Mark reached into kiss me, and I pulled away.  “I don’t know who Mary is, but I will find out sooner or later if I killed her.  If I did, don’t even bother coming home.”

I left him standing there still waiting to kiss me as his erection was protruding from his dress pants.  I made my way for the door.

I bent down to pick up my books I dropped.

“Let me remind you of our love,” Mark whispered.

He quickly unbuttoned his shirt, and he slipped my skirt up. I knew the race was on to see who could get naked first, even though I was mad at him. 

He scooped me up and placed me on the desk. 

“Let me show you how much I love you.” 

I was positive he would have been more romantic if it weren't for the fact that we were stuck in his classroom.  I no longer was fighting the urge to run away as I felt the gentle and kindness in his arms.  His hands were caressing my cheek as he kissed me all the way down to his neck.  My desire was becoming a reality again as I forgot all about who Mary was or even if there was a Mary at all. 

He pushed his fingers between my legs, and I let out a moan as he entered.  My body began arching wildly as I began to buck my hips and drive him deeper inside me.  It wasn’t a surprise that both of us were showing the pleasure quite from this.   My heart was beating faster. 

I felt the strange sensation that Mark was slowly taking over my body once again as he began to tantalize me with the rhythm of my heartbeat. 

Mark lightly tapped my butt with his hand.  I let out a moan that was filled with pleasure.  I didn’t have to tell him to go harder.  He already knew when to thrust himself deeper inside me. 

“I was never married.  I have the proof if you want to go to town hall.  They keep records of who is married and who is single.  I don’t know what Johnny was talking about, but I am sure it is because he was jealous.”

My body was quivering each time Mark began to pulsate inside of me and then give a deep thrust.  I was sure everything was going to be okay now that Mark and I had made up.  He had shown me once again even though we lived a cruel and hurtful life, which we were both still madly in love with one another.

Falling For A Thug

 

There was something about falling in love with a bad boy that women can’t resist.  I was one of them that couldn’t resist it at all, no matter how hard I tried.  In fact, I had been beating the desire to get involved with Tony for a long time. 

Tony had been my best friend since we were in school together and although we went different ways in life, we seemed to always seem to keep crossing paths no matter where we are.  I keep trying to tell myself that although I am smart and sweet, Tony is the opposite.  He is a successful billionaire, but there is a little more to him than that.  He also lives the thug life that most didn’t know about, except for me.  We had always been one another’s secret keep ever since I could remember.

It was almost as if every day I partially lost myself looking in Tony’s eyes.  He made me feel whole where no one else seemed to be able to come close to that.  I didn’t care that he had a darkened part of his life.  I was battling the fact I had strong feelings for him no matter what.  I wasn’t with him though and we weren’t even lovers. 

I couldn’t help but to wonder where I went wrong in my life.  I was stuck with a man who barely could stand me.  I knew that as time had gone on, life eventually took its course.  I just wasn’t prepared for how the outcome would be.  My husband was Rafael and the far opposite of what Tony was in personality and profession.  Rafael was a lawyer, which I hated the fact that he seemed like he was always working constantly and long hours.  Tony was a self-made billionaire.

It had been five years since I had married Rafael, and it seemed as if the love I once had for him was dead long ago.  My husband and I met shortly after college.  I was a waitress for a diner that wasn’t far from where he was interning as a lawyer. 

Often I find myself wishing that I was in Tony’s arms instead of laying next to Rafael every night.  I knew that Rafael had been cheating on me for a long time.  It was obvious the way he would come home with female’s perfume and lipstick on his clothes.  I sat there and took every moment of it because that is how I would rather do things instead of facing the truth.  I didn’t want to be alone and leaving somehow meant I failed.

I looked at myself in the mirror.  My dress hung to my body and showed off all my curves.  In Rafael’s eyes, I wasn’t supposed to wear dresses because I wasn’t perfectly built.  I wasn’t a ‘stick’ I was ‘curvy’.  He hated that about me and it seemed like every holiday or birthday I got another gym membership from him, as he told me how much he loved and appreciated me.

I was hoping to meet up with some friends today at the corner bistro.  My friends would go on and on about their life, which most of the time made me feel empty.  Every now and again as we sat and I listened how great their life was, I would catch a glimpse of Tony walking around as he would have a business meeting there.  It is in those small slivers when I saw him, my heart would skip a beat.  Rafael no longer held that feeling over me anymore.

My cell phone rang and I looked down to see it was one of my friends that I was meeting up with.

“Hi Gabby, I promise I am on my way!” I said as I grabbed my keys off the sideboard.

“Good!  I can’t wait to see you!  Everyone has been wondering where you have been hiding!  I bet we won’t even recognize you since it has been so long!” Gabby joked.

“Gabby, it has only been two weeks since the last time you saw me.” I pointed out.

It was hard to meet up with anyone when you sported a black eye.  My husband seemed to have quite the right hook, which he often used to keep me from going places.  Since he was a lawyer he knew every single law and would have ruined me.  I knew this without having to be told by anyone, perhaps it was because he often reminded me of the fact he would often.

My friends had mixed feelings about Rafael.  Most of my female friends loved him and thought he was the greatest thing.  Tony was one of the few hated him. 

Today would be no different than any other time that I went with them to the bistro.  My friends would ask about Rafael and how he was doing and then proceed by telling me how their life was going.

“I am sure tonight you will join us for lady’s nights and catch up in one of the clubs.”

I rolled my eyes.  I hated going to the clubs.  I wasn’t as young as I was used to, and besides Rafael didn’t like me going to the clubs.  I was on a very short leash that Rafael restricted me often doing stuff. 

I put my little silver sports car in gear. 

“When are you going to get here?” Gabby asked.

“I will be there in less than ten minutes Gabby.  Geez, will you be patient?  I am driving down Sunrise Boulevard right now.”

Half the conversation that Gabby was rambling on about, I wasn’t even listening to.  I was just agreeing every now again so it made me sound like I was listening.  I pulled into the parking spot next to the bistro and got out.

“You look stunning, Naomi!” Gabby screamed, which was in surround sound since she did it both in the phone and ten feet away from me.

I smiled at her as I hung up the phone.  Gabby always seemed to be the one that had everything going for her.  Her face seemed to be perfect, she was well stacked in the chest department and had just the right about of booty to make guys stare at her.

“You look amazing as well!  It looks like you lost some weight.” I said.

Gabby smiled as she wrapped me up in a hug.  Most of the time you could tell how happy she was because she hugged everyone when she was happy.  Her long fingernails seemed to embed themselves into my skin as she squeezed me. 

The rest of my girlfriends smiled.  I really hadn’t been looking forward to this moment of gathering and listening to everyone voice how they had a perfect life.  I felt as if I didn’t even fit in any longer. 

I painted a fake smile that painted on my face which was accompanied by the knots in my stomach. 

“It has been such a long time since the last time we saw you!  We were wondering if you would even show up!” one of my other girlfriends, Vanessa, said.

I slightly glanced at her and smiled. “I guess I surprised everyone being here.”

“We were talking all about the good times and the places we have been together.  It made me think we all need to take a road trip or vacation again that are just for us.”  

“I guess we should take a trip together again.  When was the last time we went on a trip together?  It had to be before Maria got married.  Remember how we went to the Bahamas? Oh, that was such a fun trip.” Vanessa went on.

I nodded.  “It seems almost like a lifetime ago.  We weren’t all working crazy jobs and starting our own families back then.  It would be nice if we could go back and start visiting places around the worlds while just it being us again.  Where should we go this time?”

“We have to go somewhere that we can wear our bikinis while sitting in lounge chairs and basking on the beach.”

I watched as the bistro began filling up with the typical lunch crowd.  Outside I heard the familiar sound of Rafael’s voice.  I spun my head around to look out to the parking lot where I spotted Rafael’s car, but I couldn’t see who he had been talking to since the parking lot was already packed.

“It must be very exciting that Rafael won that high profile case.”

I looked back at Gabby.  “What are you talking about?” I asked.

“Didn’t your husband tell you that he had been trying to attack the corruption in this town?  I thought he would have said something since the case has been all over the news.  I am sure you would be very happy of him trying to set this city right.

I tried hard to think of any high profile cases that were in the news lately, but couldn’t recall any.  It wasn’t a very big surprise that Rafael didn’t tell me anything.  We seemed to be more like roommates compared to being married to one another.

“Of course I am happy for him with all the cases that he seems to win.  He shows me every single day how justice prevails.”

“Rafael told everyone at the office how you two are selling the house.  I was a bit shocked at that one.  I was going to ask you when you were going to tell me.” Vanessa pointed out.

I stared at her for a second trying to figure out when she began working for the same firm as Rafael.  She hadn’t told me that she had been working with my husband.

“When did you start working there?”

“Oh, I was sure I told you.  I have been working there for about six months now.”

I tried hard not to say a word, but instead I bit my cheek.  It wasn’t a big surprise that she seemed to think this was not important.  She had been trying to seduce Rafael since I started dating him. 

“When were you going to tell everyone that you are going to sell the house?” Vanessa asked again.

I let out a hollow laugh.  “I would tell you when I knew about it.  Last I knew, Rafael and I were keeping the house and there was no discussion going on in moving or getting another house.”

Vanessa smiled at this.  “I am sure you will be quite happy with the move.  I am sure he is only keeping it a secret since it will be a gift or something.”

I did everything I could not say anything about this.  How can a house be a gift?  It was something major that she has been discussed!  I didn’t want to move again!  It was bad enough that people seemed to know more about my personal affairs than I did, but finding out I was moving when I wasn’t seem to be preposterous.”

“What do you do at the legal firm?” I asked.

Vanessa smiled.  “I am a paralegal.  I get to follow Rafael all day and help assist him throughout the day.  It is very awarding being able to shadow a lawyer like that.”

I tried hard not to gag on the glass of water I had been drinking.  The only thing about Rafael’s assistant was the fact that he slept with them and spoiled them with lavish gifts.

“Why don’t you tell us everything that has been going on?  I am sure there is something that has been going on that you haven’t been telling us.”

I started laughing as I tried to hide the tension I was suddenly feeling as I glanced at the door to see Tony walking in.  My heart began to beat a little faster as we both made eye contact.  He flashed me a quick smile and my face lit up. 

“I am working as an accountant now and I feel like everything is going well in my life,” I said lying. I tried hard not to bring up about my husband.  Why would I want to talk about him since he nicely left a mark to remember when he gave me a black eye?

I watched as the waitress seated Tony a couple tables away.  I would have done anything to sit next to him compared to here with the girls.  At least Tony I could be someone that wasn’t afraid of showing who I really was.

“Do you see what I mean, Rebecca?” the familiar voice of Rafael filled the other side of the bistro. 

My heart suddenly dropped again as I looked through the crowded bistro to figure out who he was with and what he was up to.

“Who are you looking for?” Gabby asked.

“I keep hearing Rafael.” I pointed out.

“I am sorry, but I hate to point out the obvious I haven’t seen Rafael.”

I let out a sigh.  I knew somewhere in this bistro that my husband was here, but I just wasn’t sure what he was up to.  I seemed to fall silent as the girls continued to talk to one another.  I knew if I could have just got up and walked around, I would have been able to find Rafael in this crowded bistro, but I knew the girls wouldn’t allow me to do that.  Half the time it felt as if they were more his best friend then my friend at all.  They always seemed to be covering for him, at least this past year they had been.  Every time I was about to catch him cheating, they would divert the attention to one of them while Rafael snuck away.

“I have to admit my life would suck if it weren’t for you guys that are so damn amazing!  We have made such great strides in our friendship and our lives that it seems hard to believe how long we have known each other.” Gabby pointed out.

“Gabby, you say this every time we get together.  Can’t you calm down?  The rest of everyone will be in tears before you know it!” I mumbled.
