Well, that explained that mystery. “Baby, I really need you tonight.” On the way to the dining room, I explained what had happened with the tents and that we’d be putting in a late night to get everything ready. After the day she’d had, I half expected her to have a meltdown like my cousin.
“No problem, Daddy, I got your back. And while we’re busy setting up, you can tell me all about Bianca and why she looked at you like she wanted to eat you up.”
Oh boy, Hail Mary full of grace, I was up the creek without a paddle!
“Of course, can’t wait.”
If we came through this unscathed, it would be a miracle.
Chapter 15
Veronica
Sadie,Harmony, Catherine and I stood in the room designated for the bridal party, gushing over how amazing her dress was and how perfect she would look walking down the aisle.
“Thank you for stepping in for Jillian, Catherine, it means a lot that you would accept on short notice.”
“Anything to help make this day special that I can do, I’m here, and it’s my honor to stand with you as you make your vows.”
Harmony gushed her thanks.
There was a knock at the door. “Come in,” Harmony called.
“A light snack and drink for you, ladies.”
I was famished and couldn’t wait to stuff some food in my mouth. Last night didn’t go as late as we’d thought it would, but with Bianca sending me looks that could kill, I’d lost my appetite and spent more time pushing my food around on my plate than eating.
Despite suffering through the ground blizzard, the volunteers refused to leave a job unfished and insisted on helping Jacob and me set up the new venue, enabling us to finish and be back home by midnight. We didn’t, however, get the chance to discuss why Bianca was giving me death glares all evening until later at home, when the conversation finally rolled around to the topic.
My head rested on his chest, and the rumble of his voice every time he spoke moved it up and down.
“Do you remember our conversation about me having lots of experience in the dungeon, but not outside of agreed upon scenes?”
“I do. But what does that have to do with Bianca?”
“I ran into her at a BDSM club I had just begun going to. She was brand new and looking for someone to explore her fantasies with. I hadn’t seen her in years and at first, we caught up on each other’s lives and when I felt sure she was open to what I wanted, we played a scene together later that night.”
Shock was the only word to describe my reaction to his confession. Complete and utter shock.
“Wait, just a second. Are you saying you and Bianca were a thing?”
“Yes, but not in the way you’re imagining.”
I didn’t know if his insinuation should impress or insult me.
“Is that right? And what exactly is that? Hmm?” I hated sounding like a petulant baby, but I couldn’t help myself.
“You are imagining that it was more than it actually was. We scened together once a week for months. That was all I was interested in, and she never asked for more than that, thankfully.”
“Continue.”
“One night, we were at the same party, one of those snobby who’s-who parties that we all hated growing up. I ran into herthere and she insisted I go to the bathroom with her. She began unbuckling my belt, and I told her no, and reminded her that our time together was strictly at the club, not the real world. When I turned to leave, she called me Daddy and begged me to stay.”
“What?” I pulled away from Jacob and stood up on the bed, glaring down at him. “Please tell me you weren’t a Daddy to that bitch!” Where had that come from? Never in my life had I called anyone a bitch.
You could tell by his face I’d shocked him by what I’d said. Well, well, it was his turn for a change.
“Veronica De Haviland. You will not utter filth from that pretty mouth again.”
