Chapter 14
When Oliver had come home, he'd finally decide to tell me about the celebration, I didn't mention the fact that I already knew. I wore a long red mermaid dress; thin straps, slit up to my mid-thigh and strapped sandal heels. It showed off a good amount of cleavage and hugged my body in all the right places.
Oliver wore blue casual pants and a blue and white stripped button shirt with dark leather shoes. His hair was slicked back as it usually was, and I left my hair in its natural curls since I was being lazy. He didn't like my hair choice, but we had to leave if we wanted to arrive on time, so I didn't change it.
When we arrived, he held my hand to show people we were here together. I was tired as hell, but I still wanted to be a decent wife and show up for him. "Athena. Still as lovely as I remember." He, Albert, took my hand and kissed it.
"Thank you." I smiled falsely and pulled my hand away when he let his lips stay on for too long. Oliver introduced me to all of his collogues and work friends, even ones I had already met. "It's good to see you again, Gina." I hugged her and she hugged back.
"You as well, Athena. I hope you do well with this case."
"Thank-"
"She sure will. She is my wife after all." Him and Chase laughed at the not funny joke while Gina and I smiled awkwardly.
"Thank you, Gina. How are the twins?"
Her face lit up at the mention of her children, "Fine. I miss them so much although I see them every day. They've become the little tricksters though." She chuckled.
"I can't wait to have my own kids." Oliver looked over at me, telling me to change to a different subject.
"They'd be beautiful babies, especially if they get your genes."
"They better! I don't want to carry a child for nine months if they don't look like me." We laughed and Oliver cleared his throat.
I see a lot when we go to events like these, friends of Oliver's with their mistresses instead of wives, them with their wives and still flirting with other women. The next person we talked to was Alex. "Athena, you look beautiful in this dress. Your body is outstanding."
"Thank you." Disgusting shit.
"Oliver. It's good seeing you again." They discussed business matters and I just stood, nodding when they asked something and laughing when they told a joke they thought was funny. I was like an accessory when I stood beside Oliver, I didn't feel like he showed me off because I was his wife but because it was good for the company's image.
"Can we go sit at the bar now? We've met over a hundred of your friends."
"It was only a few, Athena."
"I've met them plenty of times before. Who else do I have to say hi to tonight?"
"You've barely engaged in conversation with any of them."
"I have, actually. And plus, their all creeps who keep looking down at my breast." I fixed the straps of my dress.
"I mean you do have a dress on that's giving them the chance to see."
"So it's my fault they don't know how to keep their eyes up? I mean you have been doing it all night."
"Because I'm used to seeing them and I'm not saying that. I-"
"Oliver!" Someone said as they came over.
"Nick." He greeted back and they shook hands before giving each other a hug.
"Valentina." I smiled.
"Athena." She smiled back, she looked like she wasn't having as much of a fun time here just like me. "How are you?"
"I'm fine. This case is stressing but it's going well so far."
"That's good. I'm sure you'll win it; you are the best lawyer I know."
"Thanks. How are you?"
"Great, actually. I've been really happy with how life is going for me right now." She blushed. Oh, you have, have you? Just like the other couple's Oliver and Nick talked business and jokes, Valentina and I laughing at them just to be polite. Valentina was a very beautiful woman, I don't see how someone like Nick could have swiped her off the market.
"You and Valentina have always gotten along."
"Yeah, she's always been polite."
"Do you still think my co-workers are creeps?"
"I do. You can't change my mind about that."
He rolled his eyes. "They are all just being friendly."
"Too friendly. Did you not see them glancing down at my breast or the exposed part of my leg? Some of them even kissed my cheek, a little too close to my lips."
"You're not all that, Athena so stop acting like it. Just smile and look pretty." He said, just as someone's hand touched my lower back. His hand.
"Alessandro Sinclair." Oliver wrapped his hand around my waist and pulled me closer to him. He was acting weird, possessive.
"Athena Escarra. Pleasure to see you again." He didn't even acknowledge Oliver and just grabbed my hand and kissed it.
"Pleasure to see you again as well. The company seems to be doing great."
He nodded, "It is. You look... words can't even describe your beauty."
I smiled, "Thank you."
"So, Sinclair, do we get to know who this butterfly is?" Oliver said, moving his hand from around my waist and putting it in his pocket.
"No. She isn't comfortable just yet."
"You seem comfortable to just have her on call when your in meetings. I hope she knows how unprofessional you are."
I looked up at Oliver, "That's enough."
"No, no it's fine. She tells me all the time, but I don't care because this is my company and if I want to talk to her I will." Alessandro took a step closer, downing his glass of whiskey.
"A company that can be snatched right from under you." Oliver took a step closer. The tension between the two was so thick you could cut it with a knife.
"Let's act like we all have some sense and be cordial." Oliver's phone started to ring and even though he didn't want to take it, he had to.
"I'll be back, Athena." He kissed my cheek and sent one last glare to Alessandro before leaving.
"I'm this close to terminating this entire deal." His thumb and finger were basically touching.
"Why are you doing this if you don't like him?"
"Because it gives me an excuse to see you."
I sighed, "There are so many single women. Why are you so hung up on me?"
He chuckled and set his glass down. "Follow me. Top floor." I furrowed my eyebrows as he walked towards the elevator.
Your married.
Your married.
Your married.
Oh what the fuck am I doing.
I set my glass down and went to the elevator once it came back down. When I reached the top floor, I went into an office that looked like it was his from how dark it was. He was standing in the middle of the room, an empty glass in his hand. "Alessandro, what are you-" In a swift and quick motion, I was pushed up against the wall and his lips were on mine.
"You want to know why I can't fucking get you out of my head?" He mumbled as he kissed down my neck. "Because your everything I've ever wanted in a woman; you reached way past my standards." He hooked my leg around his waist.
"W- we can't do this. Not a- again." Stop fucking stuttering.
"Beautiful." He started, kissing my neck and putting love bites I'd have to hide.
"Talented. In many ways." He kissed my lips roughly, biting on my bottom lip.
"Smart." He moved the strap of my dress down and kissed down my shoulder, softly biting at the skin on my arm.
"Educated." He took one of my breasts in his mouth and I used my hand to muffle a moan.
"You are the perfect woman for me." He took my other breasts in his mouth, and I tugged at the strands of his black hair. "I want you. And I always get what I want." He looked up at me as he kissed a line down to the center of my legs.
His eyes moved down there, my leg now on his shoulder. He kissed on my thighs and kissed around my pussy before lightly touching it with his tongue. I moaned and he wrapped his entire mouth around me. My back arched away from the wall behind me, and I closed my eyes, grabbing ahold of his hair.
My toes were curling in these heels as he sucked on my clit harshly, putting in two fingers. He groaned against me as if he was gaining pleasure from the sounds of moans. "I- I'm close. Shit." I threw my head back and rocked my hips on his mouth. My walls tightened around his fingers, and he started pushing them in and out at a quicker pace, his sucking becoming rougher.
Just as I was about to come all over his mouth, he stopped. Completely stopped and left me in a sexually frustrated state. My breathing was heavy as he fixed my dress and let my leg to the ground. "I won't let you come until your mine. Until you see you want me to." He whispered against my ear before kissing my lips again.
Oh hell.
CHAPTER 15
Alessandro Sinclair was menacing.
He was everything I was supposed to stay away from as a teen and as a wife. The piece of candy I wasn't allowed to have because it was bad for me. The more I couldn't have it the more I wanted it. I was going to be the reason my marriage was going to fall into shambles and break.
I'd already cheated by dreaming of him touching me. Touching myself and wanting my hands to be his hands. Being touched and wanting him instead of the man I tied my life to. I tried to miss Oliver. I tried to feel anything I did when I was younger with him, but I didn't.
I turned my car off and sighed. Leave it at home, I reminded myself. Deal with it later, it's about Brinda and Bella right now. I grabbed my purse and stepped outside, my Christian Louboutin's sounding against the concrete. I wore cropped red slim fit pants, a black lace top that was tucked in and a matching red blazer, my hair was in its natural curls once again.
I didn't have to be searched anymore, thank God, but only because I was a regular guest and Brinda trusted me. Court was tomorrow so today I'd review the video and photographic evidence with her. Even with all this evidence this case could still take up to several months but I'm hoping it would be a lot less long.
Brinda wore a long sleeve brown dress that reached just below her knees and her hair was tied into a neat and tight bun. "Athena. How's your day been?" She shook my hand.
"Brinda. It's been good so far, you?"
She sighed and took a seat back on the sofa, "Quiet. Bella's been in her room all day, anticipating what to say so she doesn't 'fuck it up' as she said."
"She'll do fine." I assured. "But you'll both do even better with that evidence." She nodded and led me to her security room. I aspire to be Brinda rich one day. Her security pulled the video up but waited for Brinda's approval to play it. After a few deep breaths, he pressed play.
Bella was the first to walk in, giving her mom a kiss on the cheek then going straight to her room. Zac went into the kitchen and popped his first bottle of beer. "Brinda." She stopped walking and unzipping her dress and turned to face him, who was already on his second bottle quickly downing that one as well. "Who was that man you were talking to?"
She looked at him for a moment before saying, "Hank? Oh, he was just asking questions about your business, wanting to know if he should make a proposition to join it. Very funny man." She chuckled and went to turn around but him throwing his bottle to the ground stopped her from moving once again.
Zac had about four bottles now and was started on his fifth. "You were fucking flirting with him!"
"No, I wasn't. I was simply making conversation and trying to help you out." She started to slowly back away, seeing his drunken state, as he walked towards her. "I- I swear. I would never flirt with another m- man." Her voice cracked.
"Fucking liar." He slapped her before punching her, then grabbing her arm and throwing her onto the table, the vase falling just like Bella said.
"Please." She begged, "I love you and only you." He grabbed her again, ignoring what she said before, and pushed her down onto the couch. "Baby-"
"Shut the fuck up. You don't love me." He started ripping her clothes off. "You're a whore. You must want attention."
"No, please stop." She tried fighting him off but even in his drunken state she still couldn't get him off. "Zac please!" He hit her in the face, weakening her and started to move his pants off.
"You want attention? I'll give you your fucking attention. Fucking whore."
At this point she had given up, "Bella's still awake. B- be quick."
He slapped her again. "Don't tell me what the-"
"Mom?" Bella had now walked into the frame and Zac immediately looked in her direction.
"Go to your room Bella!" He yelled and she looked at her mom who had turned her face away from her.
"I'm fine sweetie, go lie down."
"Dad get off of her." Bella said, not listening to Brinda.
"Go back to your fucking room, Bella!" He warned once more.
"Get off her!" She yelled and went to pull him off.
He pushed her off as Brinda yelled, "Bella please!" Zac was now off Brinda and was fighting back as he threw punches her way. Just like Bella said, he picked her up and threw her against the wall, "Zac stop!" He was about to go back to Brinda, but he paused, as if something in him switched, and went back towards Bella.
He started to take her clothes but wasn't able to get glimpse of her body when Brinda jumped on his back. He pushed her off and she grabbed the lamp, throwing it against his head as hard as possible. She and Bella stared at him for a while, most likely thinking he was dead, but when he groaned, they both flinched away.
She went over to Bella asking if she was okay before she quickly slipped on clothes and they both ran out of the house. He paused the video and sighed, "I'm sorry we couldn't protect you, Ms. Dubois. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you from him."
She patted his shoulder, "I don't blame you and like I've said a thousand please call me Brinda."
"Of course, Ms.- Brinda." They smiled, staring at each other for a bit too long. He was handsome, tall, tan skin and plump lips, his eyes were a pretty light brown. He stood, still looking at her before taking a deep breath and leaving.
She looked over at me, a blush crawling up her neck. "I have the photos on my phone." We walked back downstairs, and I didn't bring up that heated eye contact back there. She handed me her phone and I swiped through a few of the many photos.
The first photo I saw was her with a hand bruise around her neck and a busted lip. The second was similar but she had a black eye. The third had blood trickling down her chin, lips busted, and a broken nose. The fourth was a full body photo, her legs had purple bruises all over them, her arms bruised as well and her eye black.
She left and went to get a cup of water while I went through the photos and picked the ones that would be better used for evidence.
My heart twisted at the sight of these photos; seeing all of the things that happened to her was saddening. Her court date was tomorrow so I gathered as much photographic proof of abuse, mainly the ones that would catch the jury's attention.
After my meeting with her, I went back home to continue to put everything together. I had to make sure everything was behind perfect because the of the smallest thing goes wrong then the whole case is going downhill.
CHAPTER 16
"I want you to fuck me. Just for tonight, I'm not Mrs. Escarra, I'm not Oliver's, I'm not married. I'm yours. Just for tonight."
Hours earlier...
I wore light pink cropped tailored trousers, light pink lace top that was covered by my neutral color blazer, and I paired the whole outfit with champagne color stiletto pumps. My hair was in its natural curls, they weren't trying to straighten like I wanted them to today so i just left it.
"I'll be home late tonight. I have a dinner with my mom then some more work at the company." Oliver said as he rushed downstairs, bright and happy.
"You seem happier than usual about being home late tonight." I grabbed my coffee and brought it into the living room.
"I'm just having a good morning that's all baby." He kissed my cheek and I smiled. "Have a good day." He said before rushing out of the door. Weird.
Just as I was leaving, my phone buzzed with a notification and I quickly set my bag in the passenger seat and my coffee in my cup holder.
Alessandro
I hope you make big progress with your case today. I also hope you fucking bury Nate and his pathetic career, have a good day butterfly.
I blushed at the text.
Me
Thanks. I hope you succeed in whatever a company needs to succeed in. Have a good day, Sandro.
I hadn't even thought about the nickname until after I sent the message and I literally wanted to punch myself.
Alessandro
Sandro... last time I heard you call me that was when I was pleasuring you. I like the nickname. It's... cute.
Me
Im never saying it again.
Alessandro
We'll see about that. Destroy Nate today in court. I have faith in you.
Me
You always do and I appreciate it.
Alessandro
Anything for you, my love.
I set my phone down in the passenger seat as well and distracted myself with music before I was late because I was flirty with my side-piece.
I pulled into the parking lot of the church and quickly got out. Paparazzi didn't waste any time in swarming me but I got into the building just as they were getting close. It's like running from a herd full of children.
Brenda and I walked into the courtroom, being right on time, and stood as the Judge walked in. "Please be seated." Everyone sat down and Judge Matt nodded in Nate's direction. This whole day has been weird.
"Let's begin-" He started but the doors opening in closing interrupted him. Everyone looked back, including Brinda and I, and I couldn't help but smile at the sight. Alessandro came. He came to watch me in court.
I was making myself more nervous by trying not to be nervous.
Even as everyone watch him sit right behind me he maintained eye contact with me and smirked. I had to turn away to not cause any ruckus or speculation but I'm sure he saw the blush that was creeping up my neck.
After marking everyone that was needed in the court present, we started. "I'd like to present my first piece of video-graphic evidence." I said as I stood and fixed my blazer.
"I hope you have the means to present this evidence?"
I nodded. "I do, your honor."
"Then you may proceed." Nate whispered something in Zac's ear and he put his head down nervous. He couldn't even hide the fact that there was something incriminating on the video even as he told Nate there wasn't.
A TV was rolled out and the officer powered it on, showing the entry way of the mansion. "The events in this video happened two nights ago." The video started.
I stayed standing and watched how Zac leaned back in his seat angrily as the video showed him drinking and putting his hands on Brinda. When the video had gotten to the clip where Zac went for Bella he yelled, "Objection, turn this off!"
"Overruled!" The judge said back and Zac had no choice but to remain quiet. "How much longer do we have to watch this?" He asked irritatingly.
"There's just the last few seconds were Brinda defends her daughter, Bella, by launching herself towards Zac Dubois. She knocked him out and they both ran."
"Objection!" Zac yelled once more.
"Overruled."
"I rest my case." I smiled, looking over at an distressed Zac and his lawyer. If your lawyer looks stressed then you aren't doing so well. They aren't doing so well.
"Six minute recess."
"All rise." A fucking recess. Court is so difficult for no reason. We walked out, I hadn't forgotten Alessandro had come but my focus was on Brinda. "We're doing great. Did you see Zac and his lawyer? If we have them scared then we have the power. We have the power in this situation, okay Brinda?"
She nodded and took a deep breath. "I need to make a call."
"Okay. Hurry back." She nodded before going in the direction of the bathroom. I sighed and sat on the bench. "Athena."
My gaze shot up to the handsome devil towering over me. "Hi. I didn't know you'd be here."
"Wanted to surprise you. You looked surprise." He sat beside me and leaned back on the bench, never taking his eyes off my face. "In the papers and on the blogs you look sexy in court but in person..." He blew out an exaggerated breath. "Hot. Not lowercase hot but uppercase hot."
I smiled, "It means a lot to me when you show up. Even if it's in the smallest ways, it means a lot. Especially since the only person whose ever come to my trials was Serene."
"Oliver never came?"
I shook my head, "He was always too busy. This morning he didn't even wish me well, I don't know if he even remembered I had court today." I sighed.
"Your husband is one dumb fuck." I raised my eyebrows at him. "Sorry. Said I wouldn't talk down on your husband. Your husband is one smart fuck."
I laughed at his sarcastic ways and he just looked at me with a smile and eyes that looked like he was in a trance. "You should laugh more. I like the sound of it."
"My laugh? Stop lying, I sound like a pig."
He rolled his eyes, "We've talked about this Athena. Stop talking down on yourself."
"Sorry, can't help it." I looked down for a moment before looking back at him. "How was your day? Shouldn't you be at the company?"
He shrugged, "I stayed up really late last night and finished up a ton of paperwork so I could come see you so I'm free for a few days."
"You lost time on sleep so you could see me in court? I must really mean a lot to you." I chuckled, still looking at him.
"That you certainly do." He smiled. He knows exactly when to say the right things, what tone and facial expression to use and everything.
Brinda had come back with a smile on her face just as the officer did. "The judge is ready." Alessandro held the doors open for Brinda and I but as other people were about to come he let the doors close.
We sat back in our respective seats, "All rise." We stood up and sat back down once the judge was settled. "We'd like to call our first witness. The officer who responded to the alleged incident, Brandon Barnes."
Alleged incident. Alleged my ass, there's literal video proof. "As seen in the video, my clients face was never visibly or clearly seen. Officer Barnes," He started to walk up to the witness. "when responding to the incident, what did Mrs. Dubois say happened to her and her daughter?"
"They were attacked by there husband."
"Could you please be more specific?"
Officer Barnes cleared his throat, "Brinda here, says that her husband tried to rape her then she knocked him out."
"Did she ever say anything about something happening to her daughter?"
"Not that I recall."
"No further questions. Your witness." When he turned away from the judge he sent me a cocky wink.
I stood, ignoring his childish ways and walked over to him. "Officer Barnes, you say that Brinda, my client, never said anything about her daughter?"
"Correct."
"Could you explain to me exactly what was said to you during the time you asking her questions?"
He sat up straight, "Brinda said she, her daughter, and Zac were all coming back from an event. Once they had gotten home, he started drinking and accusing her of flirting. That's when he hit her then tried to rape her. Brinda told me that their daughter had come in and tried to stop what was happening but-" He stopped himself once he realized what had just slipped out of his mouth.
I looked at him, putting on a fake confused face. "Officer Barnes, did you not just tell the defense that my client never said anything about her daughter?"
He looked back and forth between Nate and I. "Answer the question." The judge demanded.
"I- I- I meant that she didn't say anything about her daughter almost being a victim of rape."
"I don't recall you being in here when that information on her daughter was released." He was red now. "Nor do I recall that information being leaked to the public. Officer Barnes are you lying to the court and on stand? Even after swearing to tell the truth with a hand on the Bible?"
"No!"
"You told the defense that Brinda never said anything about Bella, her daughter, but you were just going to tell me the exact words she said." I went back to my table and pulled out the report of the police file.
"Officer Barnes, could you read the highlighted portion of this document." I handed him the papers.
"This report says that Brinda stated her daughter was attacked by the defendant."
"Officer Barnes, did you or did you not hear my client say something, anything, about her daughter."
His breathing had become quicker, his face scared of what would happen. "No further questions, your honor."
"Objection! The witness could have just forgotten." I scoffed as I took a seat in my chair.
"Overruled. Defense, come to the stand." Nate stood up, head down and mumbling something under his breath. They started to talk, whispering inaudibly, and the Judge looked sympathetic while Nate was on the verge of yelling.
Once again, weird.
After a few moments, Zac went back to his seat. "Officer Barnes your dismissed. This testimony by the witness has been disregarded. The evidence presented by Officer Barnes is unreliable and not credible."
Nate was bouncing his knee up and down and glaring at me angrily. I kept up the eye contact with him but when he glanced behind me, he immediately looked down.
"The court would like to call their second witness, James Pratt." Brinda and I had already discussed the fact he'd testify. Zac looked confused for a minute before it dawned on him that we were going to use his security.
He whispered something in Nate's ear and he nodded, his lips tugging into a small smile. After swearing to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, I stood and walked over to James. "How are you today, Mr. Pratt?"
"I'm fine. Thank you for asking."
I nodded, "Now, it's come to my attention that you may have witnessed a domestic violence act that happened against my client?" He nodded, "Before we get into detail, what is your relationship with the defendant?"
"My time working with him he's always payed well. He was polite when he wanted to be, but could be stuck up at times."
I nodded again, "Back to my client. What is your relationship with her?"
"She was the nicer one. Whenever he'd scream or yell at me and the rest of security she'd say sorry on his behalf. We never had to worry about being talked down on when we guarded her."
"Okay, this incident you saw, care to explain it to us?"
He nodded and sat up straight, "It was in the afternoon and I was surveilling the home. When I walked into the living room they were arguing but it was a regular occurrence to hear. I was about to leave when I heard a loud thud and when I turned around she was on the floor. He then threw a bottle at her before storming out of the house."
"And what did you do when you saw this event occur?"
"I stood there. She didn't want me to come and I knew that by the way she looked at me when I saw the scene unfold. After he left I immediately went to her aid, though."
"No further questions." I went to sit back down as Nate stood up.
"May you say again, for the court, your relationship with Mrs. Dubois?" He started out
"Strictly professional."
"Are you sure?"
"One hundred percent."
"Have you ever looked at Mrs. Dubois inappropriately or thought about her in that way?"
"Objection! What he's suggesting has nothing to do with the fact at hand." I stated waving my hand in his direction.
"Overruled. Answer the question, Mr. Pratt."
"No, I haven't."
"My client tells me otherwise. Mr. Dubois states that you and his wife have an ongoing affair."
The people in the bleachers started making noise, "Quiet! Quiet!"
"That isn't true. I have never, nor will I ever, look, speak to, or touch Mrs. Dubois in that manner."
"Mr. Pratt you are under oath. Don't lie to the court."
"I would never jeopardize my work to have an affair with Mrs. Dubois."
Nate leaned against the witness stand with a smirk, and whispered something loud enough for everyone to hear. "Come on man. I mean look at her, she has the body of a God."
"Fine. Leave." He stopped.
"What?" He turned around to face me.
"Leave. I'm not going to force you to stay when you clearly have more important things to tend to. I'm leaving as well anyway."
He furrowed his brows, "Where?"
"None of your concern. Have a nice dinner." He looked at me for a moment before finally leaving. At first, I lied saying I was going somewhere but when I downed the rest of my wine and he came to mind I only wanted to be with him. Under him.
Remember what I said about Alessandro being the candy I wasn't allowed to have? Yeah, well, I'm craving a taste of him.
A sinful desire that I will, at one point or another, indulge in. That desire that I so badly crave is the exact reason I stand outside of his door. I crave him. I want him. And I know he wants me to.
Before any thoughts of me backing out of this invade, I knock on his door and wait for him to answer. I was about to knock again but I heard the locks and put my hand back down. He looked annoyed at first but when he saw me and the outfit I was wearing, a smirk tugged at his lips.
"Come in." I did just that when he stepped aside. His penthouse was dim, all of his decorations black or a dark grey.
I turned to see him slowly eyeing my outfit before his eyes landed on me. I set my purse down on the table against the wall. "What are you doing here, Athena?"
"Are you not glad to see me?" I said, moving my attention across his home.
"I'm very glad to see you. Just curious."
I looked back at him and slowly walked towards him. "I missed you. I missed it. The way you made me feel and I want to feel it again."
I was standing right in front of him now, moving my hands down his bare chest. "Are you sure?"
Yes.
I grabbed his chin with my hand and brushed his lips with mine before pressing them against his. His hands moved down to my hips and he gripped them.
His lips were so smooth but rough and forceful. He let me take full control over the kiss and by the way he groaned into it I knew he liked it.
"Does that answer your question?" I said once we parted. His breathing had increased and his hands were still gripping my waist when he asked, "What do you want me to do, butterfly?"
"I want you to f*ck me. Just for tonight, I'm not Mrs. Escarra, I'm not Oliver's, I'm not married. I'm yours. Just for tonight."
CHAPTER 17
Alessandro
Athena Escarra was standing in front of me in nothing but the light pink lace bra and panties that I liked so much.
She is the definition of perfect.
The way her breast sit so perfectly, how her hips curve, that beautiful ass of hers, and most of all that fucking face that needs to be on Vogue. I love everything about her, from her light birthmark that sits on her ass to the stretch marks on breast, ass, and hips.
"I want you to fuck me. Just for tonight, I'm not Mrs. Escarra, I'm not Oliver's, I'm not married. I'm yours. Just for tonight."
I didn't waste anytime in picking her up by her thighs and wrapping her legs around my waist. Those sweet cherry lips melted on mine and she pulled me closer to her by my neck.
I've been craving this woman the moment she stepped out of my penthouse and I wasn't going to waste a single moment I have with her.
She reached between us, putting her hand in my sweatpants, and started stroking my cock. She moved quick and I thrusted into her hand. Just her hands could push me over the edge.
She pulled my dick out and moved her panties to the side. "In. Now." She demanded and I smiled into the kiss.
"Not yet, love." She whined when I set her back down on the ground, making me chuckle as I tucked my dick back in my sweats. I pecked her lips then kissed along her jawline and neck, leaving as many marks as possible. I ripped her bra off and was amazed by the way her breasts bounced at the action.
I captured one in mouth and massaged the other, emitting a moan from her pretty lips. Her breasts even tasted like cherries and it made me grow hungrier for her. I repeated the action before kissing along her stomach and down to her panties.
I looked up at her with dark eyes and she looked back down at me with the same lustful look, waiting for my next move. I brought her thigh up to my shoulder, now being on my knees, and placed hickey's all over the fat flesh. I set that thigh down and repeated the same action with the other before slowly sliding her panties down.
Her wet pink cunt was on full display for mine and my eyes only. I kissed around it then brushed the tip of my tongue along her slit. "Stop teasing."
"I'm not teasing. I'm savoring." I did it again then, finally, placed my mouth around her clit. She let out the most beautiful sound and moved her hand to my hair. I kept my eyes on her as I ate her at a teasingly slow pace.
Athena's eyes were closed, her head to the side, and her hands tugging at my hair. It was the sexist sight I'd ever seen and will ever see. I sucked at her clit faster and rougher and put two fingers in her hole.
I sucked at her pretty clit, moaning at her taste and closing my eyes. My fingers moved in and out of her at medium pace, not too fast but not too slow, as I pleased her dripping cunt.
"S- Sandro... oh fuck..." She arched her back from the wall and started moving her hips. "I- I want you inside me. Please." I moved my fingers at a quicker pace before putting in another and stretching her tight little hole out.
Her pussy tasted like a foreign fruit that could only be tasted be the riches. It was so fucking addicting and I could never get enough of tasting her.
Her cunt tightened around my fingers and she moved her hips quicker, still shoving my face into her. I groaned against her and she let out a whimper as she bit her lip. "I- I'm close. Oh fuck, I'm so close."
I curled my fingers and bit softly at her clit. She climaxed all over my mouth and hands and I couldn't have it any other way. I swallowed every bit of her juices and continued to suck at her sensitive clit even after she finished.
She tried pushing me away but it only made me grip on her hip more. Her body shook as she came on me again, almost as hard as her first orgasm. I made a line of kisses up her body until I reached her lips.
Athena moaned at the taste of herself on my tongue. I wrapped her legs around my waist and I could feel the eagerness radiating off of her as we walked to my bedroom. The kiss never stopped even as I laid her on my bed and slid my sweatpants off.
When I felt her lips stop moving against mine, I opened my eyes and saw her staring at my cock. "Don't worry, baby." I tilted her head up so I could see those beautiful brown eyes.
"You got... bigger."
I chuckled, "It'll fit. Just spread your legs for me." She opened her legs but not far enough so I pushed them open a bit more.
She looked extremely nervous.
I kissed her again and she melted into it swiftly. I moved my cock up and down her hot cunt and she moaned into the kiss. "Are you in yet?"
"No."
"What-?" Just as she broke the kiss I shoved my cock balls deep and she screamed so fucking loud. I groaned, almost cumming on the spot, at the feeling of me inside of her.
Her eyes were closed and she gripped at my arms. Her walls felt so tight and hot around my cock it took everything in me not come.
"I'm going to move now, is that okay?" She nodded, her eyes still closed and her nails still digging into my skin. I started off slow so she'd get used to my size but once I felt her muscles relax I sped up.
My hands were beside her head, her hands roaming all over my chest and her legs wrapped around my waist. "Harder. Please go harder." I did what she wanted and my head fell back at the sound of her moans. She was so wet I could hear it every time I pounded into her sweet cunt.
It was because of me she was feeling all of this. It was because of she was about to come for the third time tonight. It was because of me her eyes would be rolling in the back of her head tonight.
Her husband was a fool to treat her the way he does. This goddess of a woman needed to be treated just like a goddess.
"You look so beautiful under me." I bent back down and whispered praising words into her ear.
She clawed at my back and her moans grew louder as she tightened around me. I groaned in her ear, picking up my pace. "Mierda Sandro..." Athena speaking Spanish sounded so fucking sexy. Her accent, the way it slowly slipped off her tongue.
I was the cause of that. Not her husband.
Her mouth fell agape and she threw her head back as her orgasm approached. "Hold it." She protested, as her legs started shaking with the increased speed of my thrusts. I pushed myself further into her and once I found my spot I kept thrusting into it repeatedly.
"I c- can't. Oh God, I can't, please." I kissed her chin before going down to her breast and sucking and biting at the nipple. Her nails drew marks along my back and her legs shook around my waist.
"Fuck." I mumbled under my breath at the sight of her beautiful breasts jumping with each of my thrust. She looked stunning. A work of art.
"Come. Come around my cock, butterfly." She bit down onto my shoulder, her legs closing tightly around me, and screamed as her orgasm washed over her. I continued to pound into her as she orgasmed, overwhelming all of her senses.
Even with her legs tightly closed around me they shook vigorously and her scream wasn't all to muffled, no matter how hard she bit into my shoulder. She came all over my cock and was panting, fighting for breath, as I continued to thrust into her. "S- stop. I'm gonna c- come again."
"One more time. Come for me one more time." Her toes curled, her nails dug deep, her back arched and her eyes rolled to the back of her head. Her legs shook harder and she held onto me for dear life as she came. I had the most beautiful woman under me, cumming around my dick and I fucking loved it. Whatever Oliver did, I'm glad he did it.
I followed after her, pulling out and coming on her stomach. Her eyes were closed and she still had her arms and legs wrapped around me. "That was fucking amazing." I chuckled and placed a kiss to her lips.
"Bath or shower?" I said as I slowly slid out of her. She winced a bit.
"Bath. My legs feel like they could fall off at any minute." She laughed, a sound I wish I could hear for the rest of my life. I kissed her forehead before going to the bathroom and turning on the water in the oval bathtub.
She deserves someone better. Someone whose willing to spend time with her without her having to ask or beg. Someone who supports her in everything and anything she does. Oliver isn't that someone.
He's a boy. He can't handle all that Athena brings with her and he never will be able to. Athena is to much for an immature and insecure boy like him. She could do so much better than him and I know she knows it.
I heard her grimacing in the room and smiled at it. She was hurting from the pleasure I had given her, I'd take care of her, of course, and make sure she was okay before we went to bed.
"Let me carry you." She didn't have time to protest before I lifted her into my arms bridal style. She giggled and wrapped her arms around my neck, setting her head on my chest. I set her in first before getting in behind her.
"Are you tired?" She asked.
"Are you asking for another round?"
She laughed, "I'm way to sore right now. You don't have to stay up with me. It's fine I'll understand."
"Okay." I kissed her luscious lips for a moment. "Serene is going to have a blast when she hears about this." She laughs at herself as her fingers skim the water.
"You talk about her a lot." I set my chin in her hair and watched as she played with the water.
"I grew up with her. She means a lot to me."
"You know," I started, "I don't know much about you."
I saw a smile form on her lips. "What would you like to know?"
"Favorite childhood memories?" I asked.
She sat quiet for a minute, continued to play with the water. "I don't have a lot. But there's one where we were in New York at the time and we were walking around. I wanted to jump over the water that sprayed up but I was to small so my dad picked me up, I acted as if I was flying and he'd bring me up over them. One of the best times I had with him."
Her face was sadder now. Fuck, Alessandro your such an idiot. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up anything hurtful."
"No, no it's okay. Have more questions?"
"Do you write?" At this point I was just asking random questions to hear her speak. I just wanted to hear her voice for as long as possible.
"I used to right poems. They were representations of things I couldn't say aloud to anyone as a child."
"Can you remember any?" She laid her head back on my chest.
"I think I named it something like Escape." She took a deep breath before starting. "I wanna run. Run as far as possible. Away from the reality I live in. But I can't. No matter what life is always there, caging me in. So, instead, I sleep. The only escape I'll ever truly have forever. An escape that will never leave me. A place where I can dream."
I stared down at the woman who played with her hair. That poem alone explained to me a lot of her childhood, why she didn't have many favorite childhood memories. "It's beautiful. What does it mean?"
"How do you know it means something?"
"Because everything has a meaning. A poem especially. Poetry can stir a lot of emotions in someone and the way you wrote tells me it has a strong meaning behind it."
"Going into the depth of poetry are we?"
"Only if you allow it."
"At thirteen, I thought I didn't have a reason to be mad at my parents. They gave me food, clothes, a roof over my head. They didn't have to do any of that but they did. But as I got older, I noticed how toxic my family was. The constant bickering and fighting... it was a lot.
"Yep. Like you, it allowed me to communicate with different parts of myself on personal levels."
She smiled, and no not the small smile but a big one. "I'm glad someone else gets it." She laid her head back on my chest. "Anything else?"
"Did you always want to be a lawyer?"
"Oh God yes. Ever since I was a kid I'd watch my mom on TV putting away all the bad people and I wanted to do that same thing. It looked fun... challenging."
I played with her soft hair, "Do you plan on being a lawyer forever?"
"As long as possible." I hummed in response in response and continued to play with her hair. She took on of my hands and started fiddling with the rings as we fell into a comfortable silence.
"One condiment for the rest of your life, go." I smiled and started to think.
"Relish." She looked at me with the most disgusted look ever and I laughed at it.
"Ew! That's so nasty. I would never go near that disgusting-" She made a fake puking noise and rolled her eyes at me. "You could've chosen honey mustard."
"Yeah, that's disgusting."
"Your disgusting."
"Relish is a supreme condiment."
"No, honey mustard is way better. How many people do you know would pick Relish over Honey Mustard?" I was quiet. "Exactly."
I chuckled as she interlocked our hands, hers significantly smaller than mine. "Being a lawyer comes easy to you."
"No, Honey Mustard is clearly just the smarter choice." I brought her hand to my lips and pressed a kiss to her soft skin. "I have the big and bad CEO acting like a romantic."
I chuckled and rolled my eyes, "Only for you, my love. Only for you."
After washing our sins away we got out and went to my closet. I pulled on my boxers and pair of sweatpants that hung very low on my waist. Athena dropped her towel and grabbed one of my black dress shirts.
I walked out and threw her towel in the hamper. As I was walking back into the bedroom she was as well and was buttoning up one more button. The shirt fell all the way down to right below her knees and she look stunning in my clothes.
My eyes fell down to the marks on her neck and legs and I smirked. "Stop being nasty."
"I can't help it. You look overly beautiful with my marks on you." She laughed and got under the dark grey comforter. We were facing each other, just staring into the others eyes.
Athena Escarra had to be the most beautiful woman on this planet. Her nose, cheeks, ears, brows, smile, hands, legs, body, hair, eyes, lips, everything. I was obsessed with everything about her. She was absolutely magnificent.
"Your eyes are really pretty." She said, I had just now noticed her hand was on my face and her thumb was moving back and forth.
"Not as pretty as yours." She smiled moving her face so that our lips would be closer. Athena initiating the kiss made me want her again. My hand was on her hip and hers was tangled in my hair.
The kiss was slow but still rough and hard. I let her take over it again; I enjoyed the way she took control, it turned me on. She moaned when I pulled her lip between my teeth. I could tell she was aroused when she moved my hand to her ass.
We kissed for what felt like hours before she finally pulled away, her cheeks pink. "Can we... uh.."
"Can we what?" I pulled her hair behind her ear. She looked down pulled her bottom lip between her teeth. "Athena, you can ask me anything, okay?"
"Can we c- cuddle?" I smiled down at her; she had her eyes closed and head down, waiting for me to reject her.
"I'm not really a big fan of cuddling." I said, still looking down at her.
"Oh."
"Do you want to cuddle?" She nodded slowly and I wrapped my arms around her small body. Oliver was one dumb man to let a woman like this go. Athena was the dream woman of any smart man's dream. She was intelligent in every aspect of life, had her entire future planned, she gave so much love and only asked for the bare minimum, she was gorgeous in every way. Everything about her was astonishing and I wanted to learn more.
"Good night, butterfly."
"Goodnight, Sandro." I kissed her hair, she snuggled closer, and I tightened my arms around her. I fell asleep with the image of her face and beautiful smile on my mind. Athena was mine.
CHAPTER 18
Alessandro
Athena's hand moving over my stubble woke me up and I have never woken up to a more beautiful view. She was still asleep, her hand still subconsciously moving, her mouth parted, and her body relaxed. I've never really saw her relaxed, she's always tense when she's around Oliver or other people.
The sunlight coming through from the windows illuminated her perfect face, her skin glowing. She looked so peaceful.
I brought her closer to me and her hand fell down to my chest. Her hand was now in a loose fist and she scooted closer to me, her leg over both of mine. I moved her hair from her face so I could have a better view of her.
All I could do was stare. Even sleeping, she looked absolutely gorgeous. I kissed her forehead and got up from the bed. She tossed and turned as soon as I stood up so I placed a pillow under her. After giving her one more kiss on the forehead, I walked downstairs to start breakfast.
I found myself smiling as I started making her an omelette. I liked knowing she was upstairs and I'd be able to reach her whenever I could. That she was under my roof and that I'd be having breakfast with her. I liked the feeling of her just being around.
When I finished making her omelette and started on her bacon I felt small arms wrap around me and kisses on my back. "Good morning."
"Good morning, butterfly. Did you sleep well?" She hummed in response and peaked around. Athena watched as I made her bacon, patiently and quietly.
I enjoyed her company, even if we weren't talking to each other it was nice to have her around. She placed one last kiss on my back before hopping on the counter. "I didn't know you could cook."
"I have a lot of secret talents." I put the bacon on a separate plate and started on pancakes.
"That you do, Mr. Sinclair." I clenched my jaw and tried to ignore the way she said my name. She smiled, swinging her legs back and forth and acting innocent. "I'd like to explore one of your more... not so secret talents."
I looked at her and saw her slowly opening her legs. "Athena. Im making you breakfast."
"I'm a little hungry for something else." She bit her lip and leaned back a bit. I took in a deep breath and forced my attention back down to the pancakes, flipping them over. "Oops." She said when her panties fell onto the floor.
She was going to be the death of me.
She slid her hand up her thigh slowly and kept her eyes on the side of my head. Don't look at her. Don't look at her. Don't look at her.
I couldn't help but take a little peak that turned into a full on stare. She kept her legs spread open and started pleasing herself on my counter. My cock was twitching in my pants as she let her mouth fall open. She unbuttoned my shirt and started to massage one of her breasts.
"Oh Sandro..." She moaned making my dick harder than it already was. "I wish these were your fingers instead of mine..." I looked down at the pancakes to see that they were all done and quickly moved them onto a plate.
I walked over to her, she had a smirk on her lips as I stood in front of her. "You want my fingers inside of you, slut?" My hand moved up her thigh.
"Yes sir. Please finger me." She begged. My little butterfly was begging for my fingers inside of her and fuck was it attractive. She slipped her fingers out of her as I moved closer to her pretty pussy.
I took her hand and put her fingers in her mouth, she moaned her eyes still focused on mine. I rubbed my fingers along her slit, coating my fingers with her juices. "Please..."
"Please what?" I said, still rubbing her juices all over her cunt.
"Please finger fuck me." I slipped one finger inside of her hot cunt and she moaned. My cock was getting harder and harder as she made those pretty noises I love so much.
She grabbed onto my shoulder and I fingered her faster, using my thumb to circle her clit. "Oh yes..." She moaned, her head falling back. I attached my lips to her neck and bit on the spot, eliciting another moan from her lips.
I moved my kisses down her neck and pulled one of her nipples between my teeth. "Your so fucking wet." She moaned and leaned back against the cabinet. I bit down on it then licked and sucked it to ease the sting.
Her pussy clenched around my fingers and I moved back up so I could see her clearly. "Open your eyes, Athena." She complied, her eyes now open and her face full of pleasure. Her hand on my wrist and the other laying flat on the counter, her legs still spread and her back arched as her orgasm came.
Watching her cum over my fingers as her legs shook was one of the most beautiful things. She looked bewitching. I could've come just from watching her.
I kissed her cheek as she panted, "Breakfast is ready."
"No shit." I laughed and sucked her juices off of my fingers before making her a plate, adding fruits on it. She went to buckle my shirt up before coming off of the counter and looked at her mess. "I'll clean it. Go and eat." I kissed her temple and saw a smile on her lips as she went to go sit.
After I finished cleaning her orgasm off of my counter I made myself a plate and sat beside her. "This is really good." She said with a mouth full of pancakes and bacon. "Your going to make me gain an extra twenty pounds."
"And you'd still look beautiful." I kissed her temple as she smiled and drank some of her orange juice. "So... Colleen Hoover," I said after a moment of silence and us eating. "the author of It Ends With Us, Ugly Love, and some other books?" She nodded still eating. "Well, remember how you told me you could never get a signed book from her because you were always so busy?"
Her attention was on me now, "I do."
I got up and walked into the living room then walked back to her with a bag. "I got all of the books you have read and some you haven't signed by her." Her eyes widened and she shrieked as she ran towards me.
She jumped on me, wrapping her arms and legs around me, and kissing me all over my face. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" She kissed me on my lips the longest then hopped down, grabbing the bag and looking through it with excitement flooding through her body.
When I got closer to her, she hugged me even tighter with the biggest smile on her face. "Oh! I have your things in my car!" She was about to rum to the door but I grabbed her waist and brought her back.
"Woah woah, I'll have my men bring it up."
"My door is locked."
"Then they'll have to come up here and get your keys. I want you in my sight for as long as possible." She blushed, from her neck to her face, and wrapped her arms around my neck.
"I-" She paused. "I wish this could last forever."
"It can. If you let it. If you leave him." I despised seeing them together, in person and in papers. He didn't know how to treat her, hell he didn't even appreciate her.
She set her chin on my chest and looked up at me with the most beautiful eyes. "Like you said, don't think or talk about Oliver while I'm with you."
"Okay, pretty girl." She smiled and wrapped her arms around my waist, puckering her lips and closing her eyes. I chuckled before kissing her pretty lips. It was a quick few kisses but I still felt her lips on mine when she went to go retrieve her keys.
I went to answer the door and one of my men were waiting for her to bring her keys. "Here you go." She smiled sweetly and handed him the keys. He looked her up and down, stopping at her breast, before meeting her gaze.
I slammed the door in his face before he had the chance to say anything. Athena jumped back in surprise and looked up at me with a confused face. "He was eye-fucking you. I'm firing him."
She rolled her eyes at me and stretched as she walked into the living room. So. Fucking. Sexy. "Stop staring at my ass."
"I'm not staring at it, it's staring at me." She laughed and plopped down on the couch. When my door opened she instantly sat up and crossed her legs on the couch. "Take it to the living room. Look at her and your fired."
She shook her head at me but smiled as they placed bags on the table. They kept their eyes straight ahead, only one of them didn't. I stopped him when he was about to walk past me like he didn't just eye Athena with a smirk. "Your fired." I head her laugh as his eyes grew in fear.
"B- boss I- please. I need this job." He begged.
"Should've thought of that before you looked at my girl. Get the fuck out." He wanted to beg, plead for me not to fire him, but he didn't.
"He could've been looking at the gifts." I walked over to her and pulled her into my lap.
"He looked in your direction with a smirk. I doubt he wanted to fuck bags." She went through all of the bags before finishing and laying back against my chest.
Her eyes were closed, her body relaxed, and a small smile playing on her face. We fell into a comfortable silence and I took the opportunity to study her face. I'll say it for the rest of eternity, this woman is so fucking beautiful.
"I feel you staring at me." She mumbled and I smiled down at her. I wrapped my arms around her tightly and she put her small hands on them.
"I can't help it. Have you ever thought of modeling?" She shook her head.
"That was Serene's thing. I was afraid of being in the spotlight, having so many eyes on you, judging you. I preferred something low key." Her eyes were still closed as she spoke.
"You should try it. You'd be a great model." She shrugged when her phone started to ring. "It's probably just Serene."
I kissed her forehead and laid my cheek against the top her head, closing my eyes. Her phone rang again but we ignored it and stayed in this position. "Oh God." Athena groaned as she forced herself out from my arms and to her phone.
I stayed seated and watched as she walked back over to me while answering. "Yes?" She said as she got back in my arms.
I could hear Oliver's voice on the other end. "Where are you? Why aren't you home?"
"I'm with Serene."
"Come home. Now. We need to talk." I grew angrier and angrier at the way he spoke to her.
"I'm busy. Why do we need to talk?" She tried pushing my head away as I kissed her neck but eventually gave up and leaned her head back to give me access.
"Why do think, Athena?" He sounded annoyed with her, I bit her neck and she breathed out.
"Oliver, you had the chance to talk to me but decided to be immature and walk out." I massaged her thigh and continued to suck and bite on her neck.
"Athena, I don't want to talk about this over the phone can you just-" I took the phone away from her, fear and confusion in her eyes. I hung it up and threw it on the other side of the couch.
"Very delightful boy." She rolled her eyes but laughed at me being sarcastic. My phone started to ring so Athena got up so I could go answer. "Sit back down."
"It could have something to do with your company." I was about to protest but she raised an eyebrow at me, challenging me to question her. It was hot as fuck but she looks scary when she's serious so I went to answer the phone.
"Mama." I answered with a sigh.
"Alessandro, sweetie, your father and I want to come see you." You always want to come see me. Athena started grabbing bags and heading upstairs.
"I'm kind of busy right now." I held the phone to my ear with my shoulder as I picked up the rest of the bags.
"Your always busy. I just miss my son, that's all." Athena tried taking the bags from me but I held onto them tightly and she rolled her eyes as she walked upstairs.
I followed behind with a smile and a clear view of her round ass. "You just saw me yesterday." My eyes were practically glued to her ass as she leaned over on the bed.
"Actually I saw you three days ago. Please? I miss you." I had put her on speaker so I could hear her as I put everything away. Athena came up behind me and laid her cheek against my back.
I'd love to get used to this. To her.
"Okay. Not right now, though. I have company over."
"Is it another one of your one nights?" I looked behind me at the smiling angel and smiled back.
"No mom. She isn't one of my one nights." Her big brown eyes staring up at my silver ones.
"Really? When can I meet her?"
"Never, mom. Bye love you." I hung up before she said anything.
I picked up the giggling angel and set her down on the dresser. She put her hands on my face and smiled before pecking my lips. I let my hands move up and down her sides. "I have to go in a few."
I groaned and laid my forehead against hers. "How long do we have?" She took my phone, looking at me for permission to grab it and I shrugged. Her brows furrowed but she went to grab it and look at the time.
"Eh, about thirty to forty minutes."
"Well, how about we play a game of uno and whoever wins gets to be on top." She laughed that beautifully laugh of hers.
"Your going to get the ride of your life, love." She said, trailing her hand across my chest. I slapped her ass and let it rest there as we walked downstairs.
"I can't fucking wait."
