Page 27 of Destroying My Ex

I felt empty after I came the third or fourth time and pounded the ground as I cried and screamed. I always get like this after we fuck. The shame and the repulsion for myself and him always break me down.

I pulled off his cock and turned around, and smacked him. He smacked me back just like I knew he would; he always does. I hit him harder, and he dragged me up from the ground and kissed me. My juices were on the go again.

I wrapped my legs around him, and he backed me into the side of the old farmhouse and fucked me again. “Do you think my son will ever fuck you this good?” I came at his words and bit into his neck. He can explain to his wife how it got there. It wouldn’t be the first time.

“Mom, where did you get this? It’s beautiful. Is it as big as hers, do you think?”

“Shh, keep your voice down. I’ll tell you later, but you can’t tell your Dad. I promised your grandparents.”

“My grandparents? Which ones?” I looked down at the ring on my finger and wanted to jump for joy.

It wasn’t the same shape as Lily’s, but it was just as big as hers, I think, though this diamond was pink. That’s okay, I like pink. “I said keep it down. Come here.” She dragged me into the walk-in closet and closed the door.

“Listen, I went to your grandparents and begged and pleaded with them to be fair. They asked me not to tell your father, so you can’t say anything to him about this.”

“Why not?”

“Just don’t, or I’ll take it back. This is the first time they’ve given us anything, so hush.”

I nodded my head and went back to admiring my ring. “If I’m not supposed to tell Dad, how can I wear it?”

“You can wear it without saying anything about where it came from. Just say Grayson gave it to you. By the way, you can’t tell him either. Just say you got it from my side of the family.”

I snorted because Mom’s family couldn’t afford something like this, even if it was fake. But then again, Grayson doesn’t know that because, just as with Lily, I always made it a point to keep that side of my life separate from him.

I was ashamed of them and not sure what my feelings were about her and him meeting, but given the latest events, I was right to keep those two apart. They don’t even know each other, and it’s giving me heart palpitations just thinking about the two of them being in the same room together.

For the next few days, I took every opportunity to show off my ring. My friends were duly impressed, and I didn’t have to hear anything more about Lily’s ring. I’d finally gotten to see and talk to Grayson because I needed to explain the ring to him. It was so cute how he wanted to be the man and get me my ring, but I assured him he could make it up to me in other ways.

Mom and I are going full steam ahead with the wedding planning these days, and I barely have time to think about anything else. I’m just pissed that she won’t let me post my ring on my socials. She keeps saying I should wait. It’s almost as if she’s afraid it might get stolen before the wedding or something.

Whatever, I went dress shopping, but since Mom thinks Lily might have her dress custom-made, we decided to go that route as well. I don’t know anything about her wedding; she’s being very tight-lipped and there’s nothing posted anywhere about it, except I think someone said it was going to be held outside of the country.

I wish I knew more than that so I could make sure my wedding and reception were better than hers but not even Dad knew what was going on. I knew nothing about her guest list, but I knew that all of my Dad’s business associates were going to be at mine, thanks to Grayson.

He had invited all the important people from the company as well as some people I didn’t know and didn’t care about. By last count, there were almost two thousand people on the guest list, and of course, Mom and Dad had paid extra for the country club at such late notice.

That place is booked well in advance, but we were able to get a cancellation, or Mom did something to make that happen. It doesn’t matter as long as my day goes off without a hitch. I made sure to add everyone I knew to the list because I wanted everyone to see me on my beautiful day.

“What’s she doing here?” I’d come to pick up some last-minute things for my honeymoon and ran into Lily. It was still a month away, but I didn’t want to leave everything until the last second, and besides, seasonal things don’t last that long on the shelf.

“Excuse me, I have an appointment,” I called out to the saleslady when she didn’t come to me as soon as I walked in.

“I’ll be with you in a minute.” She didn’t even look up at me as she showed Lily some stupid nightgown that looked like it was for an old maid. I just rolled my eyes and sat on one of the chairs with my two best friends sitting on either side of me.

This place was the best in the city for wedding trousseaus, and you can’t get in the door without an appointment; most of the places I’ve been to are like that, but for some reason, I seem to keep running into Lily all over the city when we never used to see each other this much before.

“Oh, hi, Lacey. I didn’t see you come in.” Why is she always wearing that stupid smile when she sees me these days? I bet she heard about me getting the ring and now wants to butter me up because soon I’ll be close to my grandparents as well. Grayson said they were even more impressed with the job he’s been doing, and Dad can’t help singing his praise.

I made sure to hold my hand in a way so she could see my ring. “Beautiful ring. Why does it look so familiar?” I started to flaunt then ring, then hid my hand behind my back at her words. I can’t remember if Mom had said anything about her knowing about the ring.

Now that hers was right in my face, I realized that it was bigger and prettier than mine, which I’m sure is what she wanted me to notice.
