Chapter 21 - A Secret

**Paul**

Being away from Serena was really pissing me off. It made me even more mad when I thought that if I hadn’t had acted out the last time I saw her, I would have had a few extra days with her. I needed to curb my temper around her. I wasn’t one to get upset by the slightest things, but she brought out so many emotions in me.

It was the first time I cared about a woman in this way. And now I couldn’t do all the things I wanted for her. I wasn’t there to make sure she had everything she needed. I wasn’t there to dote on her or fuck her. I hated not being able to touch her. Hear her moan, just for me.

I was being selfish I knew that. Devon and Garrett were taking fine care of her, making sure she ate and caring for her every need. I sent her gifts every few days to let her know I was thinking about her even though I spoke to her every night.

During the day I would have meetings with Devon and Garrett abut the business, but at night I was witness to their sexual encounters as well. Sometimes in the morning too, if I had a late meeting. I never beat off this much in all my life. There were places I would go usually in these distant cities, to find a woman to bed. But I had no desire to visit any of them because Serena was here with me in my mind, my heart and my soul. She was the only woman I thought of and the only one I wanted.

Women came on to me with astounding regularity. Many of them women I had been with previously, but I told everyone I was engaged now and most went away sad, but they went away. One particular woman didn’t take the hint and came to my hotel. Since I always stayed at the same ones in each city for conveince, I was easy to find. Especially because I had even fucked her here once. I had to ask security to escort her away. For Serena, I was faithful for the first time. My Baby Girl.

I implemented a punishing schedule and visited every office and warehouse we owned. Seventeen days later, I was ready to go home. Because I had moved my schedule up, not everyone was ready for me and the very last site I visited, I found a problem. And I seethed.

We manufactured plastic and plastic products using several different types of technology. The warehouse was cut into thirds to house the equipment and machines necessary to do the work. A few employees oversee the production and make sure everything is running smoothly.

I’ve arrived without giving advance notice. I’ve never done it before. I trust the management that runs each and every business we own. They were hired with scrupulous background checks and extremely favorable references.

I walked through each room, watching the machine work, the cacophony of the gears and hydraulic machines assaulting my ears. As I get to the last room, I see the machines working diligently, any break down would cost tens of thousands of dollars to fix and I’m grateful everything is working smoothly, until I see the final product, that I don’t recognize.

We are used by smaller companies that outsource their manufacturing. Perhaps they have developed a product but don’t have the resources to manufacture it themselves. They call us and we build and redesign the machines to make the component or the entire product for them. This isn’t uncommon. But the fact that I was just with the General Manager, and I read over the reports, and this was not mentioned. And, well, that just pissed me right the fuck off.

Someone better not be using our equipment for some underhanded, illegal or immoral deal at our expense. I have to go back to the GM’s office, and he has to call his sales team.
I miss my flight home by the time we figure out that a new contract has been signed and production started for a new company that hired ours. It wasn’t in the report, because I was early and the salesperson that had the signed contract hadn’t turned it in yet since it wasn’t due until the end of the month’s sales report.

I go wearily back to my hotel, which I had called to make sure I could have the room for another night. I also rescheduled my flight for first thing in the morning.

I called Serena and the guys after I had my shower and ordered room service for dinner as I had become accustomed to during the last few weeks. I had never seen the inside of whatever hotel room I was staying in as much as I had on this trip. I would always go to the restaurant downstairs or out into the cities. Sometimes I would walk until I found a street vendor or make a reservation somewhere fancy. This trip I did none of that. I ran straight back to my room so I could get my fill of Serena.

She or one of the guys would carry the laptop around so I could enjoy being with her and my brothers. Sometimes they would watch TV or Serena would read. I didn’t have to talk, I just wanted to be with her, no matter what she was doing. I was totally gone for this woman. I liked to watch her, no matter what she was doing. I even had her take the laptop to the bathroom so I could hear her pee. I didn’t want to miss a moment.

I had looked into getting married in another country, the three of us. I found that Nigeria allows this, in certain communities. I hired a man familiar with the area and its customs to smooth the way for us. I hoped that the large sums of money I was throwing at them would speed things up. Serena had already gone to apply for a passport.

This was happening but I hadn’t popped the question yet. None of us had, though I know the guys had been out to search for rings that would reflect all three of us and our love for her. We finally settled on having a ring made. I hoped that it was done by the time I got back. I wanted to be engaged at Dad’s dinner party this weekend. I confirmed with him just the other day that I would be back, and he set the date that none of us was looking forward to.

Devon was out tonight at a business meeting. That was a bit of a lie. Okay, a whole lie. He was meeting someone that might be able to give us dirt on Dad. We debated telling Serena. She was a jealous woman who guarded us zealously. One of the reasons why we all adored her. We were her men, and she didn’t let other women flirt with us. That sent a delicious shiver down my spine. I loved fucking her that time I had lipstick on my collar. She was wild for me after I explained. I could never tire of her being jealous for me.

The outing Devon was on would make her wild with jealousy and probably rage. He was meeting an old girlfriend for a drink. His ex was connected to some of the men Dad knew. I had agreed with him that he should meet with her to get her take on what Dad might be up to. A phone conversation wouldn’t do. We didn’t want any chance that someone might record it, but also, the woman still wanted Devon.

So, he would woo her a little for the information we needed. This wouldn’t work if Serena knew. She’d want to go, and it would ruin the whole plan. So, we kept it a secret. If Serena ever found out… Well, let’s hope she doesn’t or we’ll both be in the doghouse.

And I needed her badly.

Garrett took the computer with them while they got ready for bed.

And then I watched him make love to her.
