Chapter 72: Lance POV

“Every woman deserves a man who appreciates not only her lovely body and homemaking skills but also her witty and intelligent mind.” Anonymous


That massage was just what I needed to calm my nerves. My father and Buck are getting on my damn nerves. I have an e-mail from Buck. He is trying to figure out if I changed my mind about merging with him. I sent him a nice e-mail saying I am still declining his offer. I guess he thought my father would have changed my mind.


My phone chimed and it was Kay. We go back and forth. She seems eager to see me just as I am with her. Even though I have been lusting over Karma, I do miss Kay. After my conversation with Kay, I got back to work looking over signed contracts. I sent them all to Karma so she can print and file them when we get back. Looking at my calendar I noticed Karma is busy from two in the afternoon to four. I wanted what is that about. And just like that, Karma walked out of the room.


She explained why she was unavailable or partially did. She wouldn't tell me the whole story and I did not ask. Her phone started ringing and would not stop. If I had to judge by the look on her face, it would be an unwanted caller. The tone when she answers said it all. She knew who it was and did not want to talk. I had enough of hearing one part of the conversation which I know is pissing off Karma. I took matters into my own hands.


After the call, Karma broke down and cried. She is such a strong woman. And that asshole is still hurting her. All I could do to give her some comfort was to hold her. This dude is batshit crazy and needs an ass-whopping, something I want to do to him right now. I told Karma she needed to get a restraining order. She made the point that she did not know where he lived. That’s not a problem. I can find that out within hours. After Karma calmed down, she went to the pool.


While Karma was out, I called my private investigator and told him what I needed. He said he would contact me at our meeting tomorrow with all of the information. Next, I called my lawyer. He said once he has an address, he will have him served in whatever country Mike is living in. That sounded simple enough. I told him I would have it tomorrow after two. After I got off the phone with him, I got a call from my mom.


“Hey mom what's up?”, I asked.
“Baby why haven't you responded to my text or calls”, Susan said with a whine.
“Why are you calling me from my mother phone?”, I asked, annoyed as hell.
“Because you are ignoring me. Your mother thought it would be a good idea for me to call you from her phone”, she said. My mother and I will have to have a conversation.
“I am busy Susan. What is it you want?", I asked, gritting my teeth. She is a horrible woman.
“My father called me and told me you refused a business deal”, she said. So, Buck goes from complaining to my father to his daughter.
“Yes, I did and I declined his offer. What business of that is yours?’, I almost shouted.
“How could you? We are about to be family”, she said, appalled.
“Because me doing business with your father is never going to happen", I said, ready to hang up on me.
“But when we are married, we will be family. And family help each other out”, she whined.
“I am pretty sure you know what kind of man your father is. Raising a daughter like you tells a lot about the man he is", I said.
“What the hell does that mean”, she spat.
“Just like you took”, I said, then hung up.


That fucking bitch is getting on my damn nerves. And Buck needs to be put in his place. I said no to him and to other people. Why can't Buck take a damn no? I heard the door open and looked up and saw Jake. I told him about my phone call with Susan. As well as the phone call Karma had with that asshole Mike.


“Damn that sucks, That Mike guy needs an ass whopping”, Jake said.
“I am working on getting her a restraining order”, I said.
“Is Karma pussy that good that he is acting a fool?”, Jake said laughing.
“It's not fun, Jake. He is acting like a singing white male or some shit. Stalker and crazy”, I said, getting upset.
“A restraining order should keep him away from her”, Jake said.
“I hope so. A part of me does not think he is going to stop until he gets to her”, I said, shaking my head.
“You really like her, don’t you?”, Jake asked.
“Yeah, I do so much, so I asked her how does she feel about polyamorist relationships”, I said with a smile.
“Wait, so you planning on bringing Karma and Kay together at some point?”, he asked.
“I asked both of them about it actually”, I said with a shrug.
“And what did they say?”, Jake asked, a little eager to know.
“Surprisingly, they are both alright with it”, I said.
“So, Kay, is it okay with you bringing Karma into the fold? And is Karma okay with being brought into the fold?”, Jake asked, smiling.
“I am not sure I did not mention them to each other. I just threw that idea out there”, I said.
“So, you want to be greedy and have them both?”, he asked.
“Why? What's the problem you have, Dell?”, I asked.
“That I do. So how are you going to expedite this plan of yours?’, he asked.
“I am not sure. But when I get back, I have to see Kay. I still need to figure out a way to get Mistress Jakie to sell the business”, I said.
“More power to you if you can get everything you want from these women”, he said with a shrug.
“Where is Karma now?’, he asked.
“Pool”, I said.
“What are you going to do about Buck?”, he asked.
“I am two seconds from telling him off. He sent me an e-mail knowing his whore of a daughter was going to call me. As of right now, access to me is restricted. No calls, no e-mails, no pop-ups at my offices. I already sent the order to security and blocked him”, I said.
“Dell called and said you and I need to get dressed in my room. While he and Karma get dressed here”, I said.
“Why the hell do we need to do that?”, I asked.
“He said it is part of the mystery”, Jake said with a shrug.


Glancing at the time, I realized it was close to the time for me and Jake to get ready. I threw some clothes and other stuff in a bag, then me and Jake went to his suite. First, let me just say I know room service did not come to clean the room. The do not disturb sign is on the door knob. Walking in, I almost threw out. There are dirty clothes, old food, and some shit I cannot identify. I walked to the couch to put my bag down and almost flipped out.


“What the fuck Jake! Is that a used condom?”, I all but yelled. I am so disgusted with him right now.
“The maid did not come”, he said with a shrug.
“Because your dump ass left, I do not desire to sign on the damn door”, I said.


I am so grossed out. I walked towards the suite phone to call for room service. And almost tripled over a bottle of lube. I looked at Jake and shook my head. I called room service and told them to come as soon as possible. There is no way I am getting ready here. I told Jake we should go to the bar while room service cleaned up.


“So, the lube? Are you at the top or the bottom?”, I asked.
“Dude, that is so inappropriate to ask any person in a same-sex relationship”, Jake said, taking a sip of whatever the hell he was drinking.
“Fuck that. The way your room looks is inappropriate. So, answer my question”, I said, looking at him.
“I am at the top. How about you?", he said with a grin.
“I have never been with a man”, I said.
“So, you never let a woman stick a finger or two in your ass?”, he asked.
“No, never connected with someone on that level to feel comfortable with a chick doing it”, he said.
“Not even Kay?”, Jake asked.
“I would let Kay do it. Her and/or Karma”, I said, smiling.
“Hey, what are you guys doing down here? And not upstairs getting ready?”, Dell walked up to us and asked.
“Your man here has not had room service to clean his room since we got here. And the aftermath of your fun is still present. I can't sit with this filth. Please change that part of him”, I said to Dell.
“Where is our girl?”, he asked with eyebrows wiggling. That's when I noticed the bags he was holding.
“Yeah, she is upstairs”, I said.
“Damn, Dell, did you bring your whole inventory?”, Jake asked.
“Only one bag is for me, the rest is for Karma”, he said, happily making his way to the elevator.
