JAMES
I followed Maddie to her apartment after work to make sure she got in her door, then drove back to Jersey. The house was quiet when I arrived home. Lucas was staying over at Micah’s house tonight and I was feeling like time alone would do me some good.
Even though I loved spending time with Maddie, I had some work to catch up on before court next week, and I wanted to focus and prepare. Sauntering to the liquor cabinet in my office, I took out the bottle of Dalmore 25 Yr Scotch, pouring a full glass. My phone buzzed in my pocket, and I took it out, seeing two message notifications from Maddie. Smiling, I opened our text thread.
Just sending you something to use tonight if you want them
Below the message were five photos of her naked, in various suggestive positions. The first was her blowing a kiss the same way she did in that photo that drove me insane. The next two were her playing with her tits. The fourth, her legs spread and touching herself. The fifth, she had a dildo deep inside her. The only command I’d give her tonight was she was allowed to play with herself but couldn’t cum, no matter how bad she wanted it until I was with her.
God, you’re so fucking perfect. I’m one lucky man.
Definitely using these before I go to sleep tonight.
Grinning, I set my phone on the desk next to me as I sat down and opened my laptop. My mind wasn’t done with her yet. There was no way I would’ve been able to focus on work until I came. I picked my phone up again, scrolling over to my gallery, wanting to see the photos and video she took of us together.
I watched my cock pumping in and out of her mouth while she recorded herself that night. My dick stirred, and I craved to take her to my room and fuck her for days. Soon, I sighed, massaging the outside of my black track pants.
Front door opened.
What the fuck? Closing my phone, I pushed back from my desk, and marched toward the foyer, hearing heels clicking on the marble. Damnit. I halted the moment I saw her. “What are you doing here, Alicia?”
She held up a key. “My code wasn’t working. Good thing I have a master, right, lovey?”
“You need to leave,” I ordered. “I could have you arrested for being here… or worse.”
“Oh, James.” She waved her hand frivolously. “I know you're not going to do anything. You'd never lay a hand on me, and you’d never put yourself in a position to look bad to your children for having me put away.” She cackled. “Plus, we both know you're not as innocent as you want people to think you are.”
Jaw rigid, I leaned in the archway, crossing my arms high on my chest. “I'm not even going to entertain you by asking what you mean. You need to leave. You live with your boyfriend and that's a choice that you made. You chose to cheat and betray me. This isn't your home anymore, and it hasn't been for a long time, so I think it's in both of our best interests if you leave before shit hits the fan.”
“I'll have you know. I don't have a boyfriend any longer. We broke up.” She swayed towards me almost in slow motion. “I know you've been seeing someone and don't worry, I forgive you.”
She came to a stop in front of me and I lowered my hands to my side, ready to defend myself if she struck me. Even now, I'd never lay a hand on her, but at this point, I wouldn't stop my best friend any longer. I'd had enough of her bullshit.
“Give me your keys and go.”
“Jamesss,” she crooned, “come on, seriously? Let’s go to bed, baby. I can give you whatever she’s not giving you.”
Yeah, a fucking headache. I leaned back on the wall, sliding my hands deep into my pockets. “You don’t need to stay here. You have your own bank account I put money into even after I found out you cheated on me, so use that and get a hotel room. Just get out of my fucking home.”
“Wow,” she scoffed, “she has you whipped.”
I remained silent.
“Does she play into your sick fantasies?” She taunted. “I know you’re fucking someone else!”
“Well, that makes two of us.” In a split second, I snatched the keys from her hand, removing my house key from the ring and shoving the cluster back into her. “Get. The. Fuck. Out! And do not make me tell you again. This is your final warning! My patience with you is long gone!” The only time I’d ever raised my voice at that woman was when I was defending Elizabeth or Lucas. “I don’t care if you and him broke up. That’s your coffin to die in, and you’re not dragging me down into the grave with you.”
Her nose wrinkled, and she snarled like she was about to lunge at me. “I’ll see you in our bedroom, James. Lock up and come join me. I’ll play into those stupid sex games you wanted me to.”
She spun toward the staircase, but I reached out, seizing her arm. I escorted her toward the exit as forcefully as possible without hurting her.
She pressed her palms to the door before she spun around. “I swear to God, I will ruin your fucking life. The shit you think you’re hiding will come out when you least expect it and it’ll destroy you and our kids. Understand that, you piece of useless shit?”
“I’m not worried about a scandal any longer.” And I wasn’t, because by the time the public found out about my new relationship, my family would be well adjusted. “Bring whatever you got. Just know, I’m done letting you abuse this family, and you’ll get what’s coming to you.”
“Scandal?” She guffawed. “No, darling, you just wait. Just remember, I owe both you and Eliza a little payback for making me look bad in Turks and Caicos. And you can threaten me all you want. You won’t do shit because you have no backbone. No one’s abused you. Don’t be dramatic.” She whirled around, yanking the door open, and marched to her car.
