Chapter 35
Matt
I pour myself a hard drink. Something to get the party started.
My cock is hard and tense already against my pants, just thinking of seeing Meg all dolled up.
We’ve been planning this day for a while—or rather, she’s been planning it. Meg has seemed genuinely pleased that we wanted to do this party for her. Little does she know it’s just another excuse to spend time together.
I’ve seen the decorators come and go. Meg’s vision is decidedly dark. There’s lots of mystery and intrigue going on at this party, marked by the fact that it’s a masquerade ball.
I’ve seen candelabras coming in and out of the mansion and all manner of expensive fabric and seating for around the pool. We told her not to care about money, and she hasn’t. I’m happy to say she knows a thing or two about style, and no expense has been spared.
I don’t love the idea of wearing a mask, but I would do anything for Meg and anything for a bit more excitement in our lives.
It’s been far too long since I’ve had a taste of her, and I’m hoping all of that will change tonight. I know she still hasn’t decided between my brothers and I, but the day is coming quickly upon us. And she better choose me, or I’ll go fucking crazy.
The house is humming with the buzz and excitement of the upcoming party. It reminds me of days past when my father was around.
He loved this kind of thing. He loved people to take advantage of the estate, and he loved to entertain people. He was charismatic by nature.
One thing’s for sure, having Meg here has definitely lessened the blow of losing my dad. She’s made everything light up. Her mere presence is a pleasure—and yet it’s also made me become somewhat obsessed.
I enjoy being at the mansion and being able to watch her every second. She spends lazy days by the pool and time in her room. She works out and walks the ground.
I’ve virtually become a master at recording Meg’s life. I like to be under the same roof as her, so I can keep an eye on everything and to make sure she’s safe.
I know, I know. What the fuck is this unguarded sentiment I find in myself, right? I’ve never felt this way before about any woman—and yet with her all things are different.
I adjust my tie and put my suit jacket on while taking the whiskey down in one shot. I always have a bottle of the best stuff on hand in my quarters. It’s a little something I learned from my father.
I leave my wing of the house and make my way towards the party, which is already happening in full swing. I walk through the center of the house and see all manner of people arriving in their best gowns and masks and tuxedos. It’s an elaborate affair, as it always should be.
“Hi, Matt, how are you?” A woman pulls me aside.
“Hey, Heather, it’s been a long time,” I say, kissing her on both cheeks.
This is a woman I bedded a long time ago—but she’s never forgotten me for an instant. Every time I see her, she tries to make that one night repeat itself. She was a good lay, sure, but I’ve had better.
I tear myself away from her, so I can greet the other incoming guests.
“Hi, Priscilla, John, nice to see you again,” I say to a couple that always comes to our parties.
“Darling.” Priscilla kisses my cheeks. “How have you been? We’ve been thinking of you so much after the death of your father.”
“Thank you. That means a lot, especially coming from you. Things have been fine. Both the mansion and work are running as smoothly as ever,” I say to her.
It’s nice that people have such an interest in our well-being. A lot of the people here are friends of my father’s who come to these parties all the time. As I look around, I realize Meg did a very good job of making sure the party’s standards are of the very best quality.
“John and I were just saying how very lovely this party is. It’s different than the ones your father used to throw. But we just love a masquerade ball,” she says, taking note of the velvet curtains that have been erected in all directions.
“That’s just what I was thinking,” I say, thinking of Meg. “We had a new set of eyes determining the theme of this party. Please enjoy yourselves.”
I haven’t even made it outside yet, and already, there are so many people I know. It’s nice to be the center of attention. I used to revel in it much more than I do now, though.
I like being the focus of attention for women and the envy of all men, but tonight is different. Tonight there’s only one person whose opinion I care about: Meg’s.
I finally make my way outside, sticking to the outskirts of the party to avoid meeting more people I know. I’m anxious to set eyes on Meg and to see exactly what she’s up to tonight.
