He told me at the resort he would ruin me, and I thought he had. Hell, I even believed he had ruined me, but maybe he was the ruined one. I just had a mind-blowing orgasm, and I still couldn’t get Cam or Jared off my mind.

If I were ruined, I wouldn’t have let him walk out the door… would I?

I feel like I always have to shake Adrian after we are together. There was a moment of vulnerably between us, but once that moment faded, he went back to being the same ‘ol man as before.

He didn’t seem to be worried that I was out an about not following his guidance, so I was going to take full advantage of this freedom. Screw the men after me, let them take me. I have nothing to offer them, so it would be their loss.

Sending a text, “Hey girl, wanna grab a coffee?”, I decided to go see Jenny.

I needed her opinion.

“Ummm yes girl! I have a break in about an hour. River Street Café?”, she replied giving me time to change and walk over to that area.

“See you there!”, I put back on my shorts and went to grab a new top.

It didn’t take long to get out the door giving me over 50 minutes to walk around before I had to be at the café. I took the longer route to window shop and kill some time. And boy was I glad that I went this way today.

There were many shops, business suites, and medical practices down this particular block. I was shocked when I walked by this cute little adoption agency. I love looking in the window and seeing all of the children’s photos with their new adoptive families.

It warmed my heart, but at the same time I wondered how their picture-perfect life was going. My adoptive mother looked like she came from the home and garden section of a magazine, but she made my life a living hell.

I was about to walk away when my eyes focused on the last desk in the building. There sat Monica and my mind ran wild with thoughts about what she was discussing. Her hands were flying, and you could tell that her voice was two octaves too high for the setting.

Typically, I stray from getting into other people’s business, but if she were giving up Adrian’s baby, he deserved to know. I stood at the door with my hand on the handle trying to find the courage to confront this monster. She really was a bad person, so I don’t know what he saw in her.

“This is absolutely unacceptable for what I am offering to pay. I can take my money elsewhere and have you….”, her voice echoed condescending with dash entitlement.

She stopped speaking when she saw me walking over.

“Hi Monica.”, I smiled as she frowned.

“Look what the cat drug in. Do you allow street trash to just walk in here at any moment?”, she asked the adoption rep.

I gasped, “I was adopted through this company.”, she turned back around.

She stood tall and proud of herself, “Well I can understand why your parents didn’t want you either.”.

“They died.”, hoping that would shock her.

It didn’t faze her, she turned back to the rep, “We are not finished here and there is more money if you do what I say.”.

The young girl looked scared, but I know how small agencies like this one rely on the large donations. People tend to get away with jumping the line or get first pick of families. It’s cruel and unfair, but it happens all the time.

Monica pushed the chair back with her legs and started to walk away.

“Know your place trash.”, her face displayed no emotion.

“He deserves to know you were here and what you are planning to do.”, I spoke loud enough for others to hear me.

She stopped, pausing briefly before turning around and walking up to me. She was taller than me but didn’t bother bending down.

Looking down she tipped her sunglasses, “Know your place. You are a fling and we have been together for years. He will grow board with you eventually, he always does. If you so much as speak of seeing me here… I will show you that I am a lot scarier than three armed men.”.

My heart sank and I didn’t bother replying. How did she know about the men? Adrian must still talk to her or involve her in his business.

She left and I turned back to the adoption rep, she just sat there staring at me.

“Are you really going to do business with a woman like that?”, I asked her.

“She’s not even the worst client that I have had.”, she was letting out little bits of information.

I know there is a level of confidentiality she must maintain, so I didn’t press her.

“Whomever adopts her baby, hopefully signs a closed adoption contract.”, she tilted her head to the side at my words.

Not waiting for a reply, I walked out. I needed to get to the café to meet Jenny.

I went ahead and ordered our drinks to save us time standing in line, and I found a cute little table nook in the corner. Jenny showed up looking like a runway model, per usual.

“You need to come see me at the salon girl!”, she giggled as she sat across from me.

It had been over six weeks since my last appointment. I knew I was looking rough, but this confirmed it.

“Girl, it has been crazy.”, I confessed.

“You need a day of being pampered. We should totally plan another vacation!”, she was always looking for an excuse to travel.

“I could use a vacation, especially since I spent this last week running, hiding, and avoiding being kidnapped.”, I had some more vacation time saved up.

“So! Dish, what is going on with your three hotties?”, she was eager to live vicariously through me.

“I hadn’t seen Cam since we flew to Canada, I spent the night with Jared, and Adrian teased me today.”, that’s seemed like the quickest recap.

“How did Jared act last night? It’s been over two years since you slept under the same roof.”, she sipped her coffee and waited for me to dish.

“He didn’t make a move on me, but I am not surprised. He is so submissive.”, I thought back to taking him in my apartment.

“Leah, you need to jump his bones!”, she ordered.

“His daughter is in the next room over. Isn’t that weird?”, I asked.

“No, parents have sex all the time.”, she laughed.

“I just don’t feel right. And get this, Adrian got that blonde pregnant.”, the tea spilled.

“Oh for fucks sake, that man. What is he going to do about it?”, she was asking what I wanted to know.

“I am not sure, but I saw her at the adoption agency. I think she is going to give the baby up for adoption.”, I told Jenny knowing she wouldn’t tell anyone.

“Good for her. She doesn’t need a baby. Cruella doesn’t even need a puppy.”, she wasn’t wrong there.

“Question is, do I tell Adrian I saw her there? She told me not to tell.”, I was looking for a sign to tell him.

“It’s not your business. You don’t have a relationship with that man. If he asks you outright, don’t lie… but don’t go out of your way to solve his problems. Plus, Cruella seems off her rocker.”, Jenny had a point.

Looking at the clock, I realized that I should get going if I was going to be back at Jared’s for dinner. We gave our goodbyes and she waved.

“Take the lead with him. Jump that man before I do.”. she winked before turning toward the salon.

I know she would never try anything with Jared, but maybe she was right. I need to take the lead because he won’t.

Stopping by my place to shower and change before dinner with Jenny’s last words on my mind.

I decided to put effort into myself this evening by curling my hair and putting on some makeup. The dress I picked out was a rusty orange deep V maxi that had two long splits up each thigh. The sleeves were ruffled, and the waist was sinched.

The perfect dress to hide lingerie under…

POV: Adrian

I made it back to my apartment, no updates from Hendrix yet. Wanting to make sure he got the video back up and running of Leah’s apartment. He was ordered to turn it off while I entertained her, he didn’t get the privilege of seeing her naked body.

Part of me wishing I had a video to remember the faces she makes when I push her to new limits. I had been with many women, usually just tossing them to the side when I was bored. She was different and I couldn’t keep myself away.

Addicted was the only word I had to describe my infatuation with her. I needed her and I wanted to make sure she stayed safe.

Catching up on business, I got a ping when she entered her apartment. There were no cameras in her room, so I could only speculate what I could see through the open door. It appeared as if she showered and then began laying clothes out on her bed.

“Damnit!”, I shouted.

No one here to hear my anger. She was still planning on going to dinner with him. I didn’t want to force her to be with me, but I hoped this afternoon persuaded her to stay with me.

I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. She walked out of her room with her hair let down and perfectly curled away from her face. The video was 4K giving me the most pixels per image and a clear view of her.

It was so clear that I could tell what makeup she had on and if her lips were glossy verse matte. In this moment, I was thankful that we had the best security cameras out there. What pissed me off was what she decided to wear under her clothes.

The way the bodysuit clung to her body had me instantly hard. It was a black lace one piece that dipped to her navel in the front giving a wide view of her large perky breasts. The back was a crisscross pattern that flowed down to a lace checky bottom.

It brought your eyes straight down to her ass cheeks. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her as she walked around her apartment in the lingerie. She went to the kitchen for a glass of wine and wrote on the caulk board.

*Jenny, I won’t be home tonight. I am taking your advice. I am going to jump him tonight!*

I clinched my fist and hit the table and then stood up to throw the chair across the room.

It was clear that the man she was going to jump in that outfit was Jared.
