I scrub my body fiercely. My cock is so hard it is painful. I have no option but to take myself in hand.
I lean one forearm against the cool tile of the wall and grip myself. I find a rhythm quickly and am soon thrusting against my hand. Usually, I find sweet relief at the point of ejaculation. But this time it is almost painful as I feel my body grow tense. I bite my lips hard, stifling my groans as my hot juice splashes against the tile. I am literally trembling and weak in the knees as I try to recover. Rather than satisfaction, I feel empty. And I know why. I want more. And I want it with Summer.
I rinse my body and towel off before crawling into bed. I have another meeting in the morning with another potential partner. This time, it is someone who is looking for a silent investor in an already existent club. I have been watching this club for months and seeking an audience with the owner. I cannot afford to be late for this meeting.
I barely get any sleep and am a bit ragged in the morning. I leave Summer and Ryan at breakfast with a promise to be back by lunch. But the meeting runs overtime and I have no choice but to call and cancel my lunch plans with Summer and Ryan.
“Ryan’s already had his nap and is back at the pool with Susan. Would you like me to meet you for lunch instead of you coming back here? I think we need to talk.”
Summer’s tone is cool and collected and I have no doubt what it is she wants to discuss. Damn! I had to go and get my desires involved and now I may be losing the best nanny for Ryan.
“Okay. I’ll send the car for you.”
I try to keep my thoughts on the discussion at hand but all I can think about is what happened between Summer and me last night. I feel as giddy as a teenager. And a bit out of control as well. This is not me. I cannot have a mere slip of a woman taking control of my thoughts like this. Nevertheless, as soon as Summer texts to let me know she has arrived, I cut the meeting short.
“Thanks for seeing me, Les.”
“The pleasure is all mine, Lucan. And I look forward to our partnership. So, as soon as you want to continue this discussion, I’m ready.”
I hurry to the elevator, my heart racing. I am preparing myself for the inevitable discussion of her quitting. In my mind, I brace myself for the backlash from Sylvia.
“What did you do? I leave you alone with her for one week, one week, and you chase her away. Do you know how hard it’s going to be to find someone like this for Ryan ever again?”
And I will have no choice but to grin and bear it. Furthermore, I will not dare to tell her the real reason Summer quit.
The town car that I took this morning is waiting on the curb, the driver at the door. I’m walking toward it when I catch a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of my eyes. Ten years have not changed a thing about him. Something rushes through me as I turn hoping I am wrong but knowing I am not. Anger clouds my visage. Tommy.
By the way he turns to face me, I know he has seen me. A grin covers his face as he walks toward me.
“Well. If it isn’t my old friend and partner, Lucan Forbes.”
“Well. If it isn’t my ex-friend, ex-partner, and traitor, Tommy Barrett.”
“Lucan! Where’s your sense of love and forgiveness and letting bygones be bygones?”
I sneer. “Really, Tommy? How exactly does one let bygones be bygones when one comes and finds one’s girlfriend and business partner, who was supposed to be a friend, fucking in one’s bed?”
“You created that situation, dude. You were gone for far too long. Marlene got lonely.”
“I was building a business and an empire!” I scream at him, not caring that we are in the middle of the sidewalk and more than likely drawing attention.
“At the expense of your relationship. You claimed you loved her, but you neglected her. She was young and needed attention, and I gave it to her. Admit thatthatis what pissed you off! I treated her better than you ever did! And you hated me for it!” He smirks and my blood boils even more.
“What I hated was the fact that you went sneaking behind my back!”
“With how you had your head buried in the club, there was no need to sneak around. Or have you forgotten the times you would get caught up in the club and ask me to take her home?”
I went cold. “What are you saying?”
He comes up into my face. “What I’m saying is as soon as your back was turned, we were getting it on in every possible way. In the elevator, in the car, in your bed, in your garage, in your kitchen, your couch, your office, everywhere, anytime. I just had to say the word and her panties were off.” He has the nerve to smile. “There was this one time when you were down by the bar in a meeting and I had her up against the wall giving it to her. What made it sweeter still was when your meeting ended and you were on your way upstairs. Man! That was the fastest climax ever!”
“You bastard!” I pull my fist back and without a second thought, I send him flying across the concrete. He is not down for long and I brace myself as he manages to land a punch on my jaw. I see white lights. But my fury fuels me. We trade punches and I am vaguely aware that we have drawn more attention. But I am livid at the thought of the depth of Marlene’s betrayal.
Finally, we are pulled apart. My knuckles feel swollen and I am sure there will be some bruises on my face later. I feel a gentle hand on my shoulder and turn to find Summer, worry etched on her face.
“Lucan! Stop! Please.”
Barrett laughs as he looks Summer up and down. “Is this your new thing? You’re cruising college campuses now? Don’t waste your time, love. If you don’t have strobe lights and a dance floor, he won’t give you the time of day. When you want a real man, just ask for Tommy Barrett. Me and Marlene won’t mind a threesome.”
