“Kitten…wake up…” My cock slithered in and out in furious thrusts. “Gisele,” I uttered. While my manhood was still buried within, I shifted my body so she was on her back and I was on top of her. Gripping her arse, my strokes deepened as I pushed farther into her depths, shoving past her barrier and into her womb.

“Jared.” Gisele let out a strangled groan, a mixture of pain and pleasure, as she slowly awakened.

My lips meshed with hers. It took her a bit of time until she kissed me back just as fervently while my cock began to fuck her in short, precise, deep thrusts.

“Hell, I can’t get enough of you and your snug cunt.” My length drove a relentless series of furious fucks, sawing in and out of her in a frenzy. Her moans grew in volume. My torrential pounding amplified. The telltale sign of orgasm gripped my scrotum before a heady rush of tingling ricocheted through my body. It went all the way down my spine, traveling lower in heightened pulses, before it momentarily throbbed in my balls, amplifying my thrusts into her body as my girth expanded into her tight tunnel then bursting out of my cock, drenching and bathing her womb with ropes upon ropes of my seed.

My mind-numbing release annihilated me, so much so that I had a momentary throb in the back of my brain before my lungs began to function once again as I heaved air into them. Her body never failed to gift me with such earth-shattering pleasure.

“My love,” I panted out, kissing her, intoxicated, drunk off my obliterating addiction to her body and the very woman herself.

“Do you like my pussy, baby?” Her hot breath brushed against my ear, hardening my half-mast state still stuck in her hole.

Stroking her gently, I readily said, “Yes. I love it. I can’t get enough of it.”

“I’m happy that you do. Remember how it feels because tonight’s going to be the last night you’re going to fuck me.” Her harsh voice made me halt as my troubled eyes linked with hers.

All the elation and sexual haze lifted off my fogged mind as I acutely bore into the eyes of my lover. “I don’t understand. I thought you said we were past it. Saturday night, I even came home to you. Am I missing something here, Gisele?”

“I will tell you, but first, you have to pull out,” she gritted out as she hastily tried to unsheathe her cunt, but my hips pinned her back down, confining her to where she belonged—with me.

“It’s either you speak or I’ll fuck it out of you. Take your pick, wife.” The nasty side of me was out. She was threatening to leave me again, and I wasn’t having it.

Bunched up hands tried to push me off, but I remained unmoving. “You selfish bastard! Even your mighty cock can’t solve this for you. The moment I wake up, those papers will be filed, and there’s nothing you can do about it!”

“Spare me the bloody suspense and fucking say why, damn you!” I snarled into her face, hating the idea of how hard I was and, at the same time, wondering what I’d done wrong this time.

“I find it funny how your dear Rose looks like Paige.” She pinned me with scathing eyes. “Funny how you also didn’t mention you bought her a house and how you fucking moved her out here so you could conveniently see her whenever you felt the urge to fuck. And, oh! How can I forget? She was rather sweet to inform me, too, that you two were in the middle of trying for a baby before you left for Japan, so before you roar your head off, claiming all sorts of bullshit, I’m saving us both by releasing you.” She instantly looked away, hiding her tears from me. “I spent most of the afternoon driving around, wondering what I’d do or if I was even overreacting again, but the truth is, no matter how I try to convince myself that I love you too much to let you go…I don’t trust you. Having you in my life has caused me so much unnecessary pain, and if I don’t save myself now, you’re going to drown me. GOD!” she choked out. “You were planning to have a family together!How do you think I felt when she screamed in the entire café, labeling me a homewrecker, huh?”

Why had Rose left the facility, and why had no one informed me? Rose probably begged them not to. God knows what she had spewed into her caretaker’s ears to set her free.

How did I get myself out of this? Would she believe me if I tried to reason with her? She had already made her decision. She had the ball rolling, and based on her stubborn expression, she wasn’t going to be deterred.

Set her free…

How?

My chest tightened to the point where breathing became a difficult task. Not knowing what to do, I burrowed my face into her neck, memorizing her smell. Her chest quaked against mine as she silently cried.

“Since you’ve already made up your mind, I can’t force you to stay with me. I’ve held you down, fought you every time just so I could keep you. But this isn’t what I envisioned my future with you to be like, Gisele. You’ve had one foot out the door, biding for the right moment to eject me for good. We both know you’ve been trying to get away from me for quite some time now, and as much as my heart, my mind, and body repels the thought of losing you, I have to do the right thing this time.

“You are your own woman, and if I can’t make you happy, then there’s nothing I could do to alleviate the problem. But I do want to clarify some things. Yes, I gifted her a home. Since I had informed you about her, moving her closer to me made perfect sense because my punishing schedule prevented me from seeing her as often as I liked. And you’re right, I was drawn to her partially because she reminded me so much of Paige. Somehow, I had felt back then that I was actually trying to revive the same feelings as well, but it never happened. It didn’t take long until I realized why.

“The baby—her mad idea came about while we were having sex. After leaving you, I would see her sloshed and out of my mind drunk, and as harsh and unfeeling as this may seem to you, I just wanted a body to fuck. It didn’t matter what I agreed on so long as she let me into her body. I’d wake up the next day and squash the idea, but the same thing happened during night time. I drank myself into a stupor so I could drown you out of my thoughts, and it also helped to stop me from driving back to you, past caring if Rinaldi was enjoying your body, a body that should’ve been mine. You promised was mine. Everything shifted for me that night.

“I’m not making excuses for my past actions. They are what they are. I’m not perfect. I’ve made countless mistakes where you are concerned. To be quite frank, I honestly had no clue how to deal with my riotous feelings for you, and I admit I’m not proud of how poorly I handled it. I’m sorry for all the grief I’ve caused you.” The heavy-laden weight in my chest delved deeply into my soul. The despair and senselessness were almost unbearable. It felt as though death itself was breathing down on me, slowly suffocating me. “Whatever you need, whatever you wish, just say the word and it’ll be yours. My lawyers will grant you everything.” Slowly, gently, I lifted my face off her neck before my lower body withdrew from hers, retreating, then strictly staying to my side of the bed.

Gisele remained mum. I supposed she had said her piece, and there was nothing left for her to say. Drilling holes into the ceiling, I was left paralyzed as I listened to her soft sobs. For a grave hour, I endured the eviscerating agony of drowning in her cries, and the second it died down, I died along with it.

“Jared?”

My heart thudded, revived at the sound of her calling out to me. Had she changed her mind? “Yes?” I responded in a measured tone as hope slowly flourished within me.

“When the time comes, do you promise to teach me and take me under your wing once I’m ready to work for the company?”

There you had it. If I needed any other confirmation, this was it.

Pressing my temple, I heaved out. “Of course, I’m always going to be here for you, Gisele.”
