“Sure! That sounds great! See you tomorrow.”

“Bye,” I said and breathed out as I ended the call. I just wanted to dive back into my book.

—tells their child that they will go to hell?” he asked, sounding condescending.

It made my gut wrench. I hated feeling that way, especially after just giving him my virtue. I didn’t want him to be mad at me. I also didn’t want my family to be mad at me. I turned silent, holding in my tears as I waited for him to speak again.

“Sarah, baby, you know I love you. God, I love you more than I ever thought possible to love anyone. But I’m having a really hard time here. I thought after I gave you my ring that you would tell them. I thought for sure that after what we did tonight you would tell them.”

“I will tell them. I just have to do it in my own time.”

“Well, I just hope time doesn’t run out.”

My breath was caught in my throat as my tears let loose. With tears racing down my face and falling to my chest, I asked, “What does that mean?”

“Nothing. Goodnight, Sarah. I love you.” And with that, he hung up.

I couldn’t help but think he had only proposed to me to get in my pants. Regret began to suffocate me as I laid awake in bed for hours, questioning my decisions and morals.

I rubbed my bleary eyes and figured it was time to go to bed. Tom was still sulking out in the living room because of the American Express bill. Fuck him! One good thing came out of it, he gave me inspiration for a much-needed fight scene. Readers love their angst.

It took me three hours to get ready to meet Missy. That wasn’t even factoring in my weekly hair and nail appointments. Okay, bi-weekly, but my Facebook fans thought it was weekly. I loved posting pictures of my newly painted toes and designs. Missy was supposed to pick me up in twenty minutes, so I needed to hurry and finish getting ready.

Tom still wasn’t speaking to me and I was glad. It made my going out that much better. It was as if I was doing it to spite him. He kept staring at me, trying to figure out where I was going, but he was too proud to ask. Ha!

“Missy’s here,” Tom called.

Now he knew what I was up to, I smirked. He would probably act like nothing was wrong in front of Missy. Everyone leads a double-life if you really think about it. You don’t divulge certain details of what goes on behind closed doors. I knew Principal
fucker
took it up the ass, but you didn’t see her announcing that at a staff meeting. See… double-life.

“Hello,” I greeted Missy as I grabbed my clutch from the counter near the front door. I hugged her since she came toward me and it was evident that was what she expected.

“You two have fun! Stay out of trouble,” Tom warned and took me into an embrace. “I’m sorry that I got angry. We’ll talk later, okay?” he whispered into my ear. Then he kissed me patiently and stuck his tongue in my mouth and moaned.

Total gag-worthy!
Okay then. I smiled sexily as he closed the door behind us. At least we had made up. Not that it would have ruined my evening anyway.

“Are you ready to have some fun?” I asked Missy as she drove us to the bar. It was an entertaining venue. There was a large dance floor and it got pretty crowded on the weekends. None of the folks from my small town would frequent it, though. That was an easy prediction to make.

We talked the entire way and Missy told me a little more about her childhood. Some of the things she told me were shocking. But instead of feeling sorry for her, I was deliciously excited about the new material I had gathered for my book. Yeah, that might be wrong, but I didn’t care.

Once we made our way through the small crowd to the bar, I looked for Keegen. I didn’t see him yet.

“Keegen, your bitch is here,” one of the bartenders called.

Nice!
I thought and inwardly grimaced, but kept a sexy smile firmly in place on my face.

“Sorry about that.” Keegen leaned over the bar and kissed me.

When he stuck his tongue in my mouth, I sucked on it. It was deliciously sexy and I knew everyone was staring, which made me deepen the kiss and stick my tongue down his throat.

He groaned. “Little girl, you’re giving me a hard-on.”

“Down boy.” I sat back down on my stool and grinned at him. “I’ll fix you later.”

I looked over at Missy and she looked like she might faint.

“This is my lover, Keegen,” I introduced him. “This is Missy, a friend from high school.”

“Nice to meet you,” Missy whispered. I was waiting for the color to come back to her face.

“Everyone cheats,” I spouted. “It’s not a big deal.”

“Who am I to judge?” Missy shrugged her shoulders and took the seat beside me, but still looked white as a ghost.

“What can I get you two to drink?” Keegen grinned. He had a small sheen of sweat over his body, and his shirt was off, tucked into his back pocket. It was beyond sexy as hell. I silently wished I could fuck him over the bar that very instant. I felt a familiar stirring between my thighs and knew I needed him sooner rather than later. Now I had to figure out a way to distract Missy.

“I’ll have
Sex on the Beach
,” I said with a sensual grin and winked at Keegen.

Missy looked momentarily panicky. “I’ll have the same,” she finally got out.

“Haven’t you ever been to a bar?” I asked her.

“Of course,” she scoffed.

But I couldn’t tell. She was definitely hiding something. I was good at telling when people were hiding things, I had firsthand experience.

Keegen served us our drinks and before Missy could take a sip, she had a handsome older man hitting on her. Since she was distracted, I decided to try to get Keegen alone.

“I’m going to the bathroom,” I whispered to Missy.

She nodded without even looking my way. Guess she was enjoying herself!

I pointed to the hallway when Keegen looked my way and he nodded slightly, so only I could see it.

I grabbed my clutch and headed for the restroom. It was a familiar path, since we did this frequently. I couldn’t help it. Whenever I saw Keegen I had to have his body next to and inside of mine immediately.

I went inside and locked the door, waiting for Keegen. The bathroom was singular, so there was no one inside to witness what happened, although I have to admit that having someone witness us fucking would be a turn-on. I felt myself getting wetter by the minute.

Knock, knock, knock.

Three knocks; I knew it was Keegen. I grinned as I opened the door.

He grabbed me before I could even ensure it was him. Lips were pressed against mine and as soon as I felt his soft, familiar lips, I knew it was him.

I groaned as I heard him click the lock back into place. He jammed my body against the wall and I clutched my arms around his back to hold on. Even his back was muscular—it was unbelievable!

He grabbed my chin and kissed me frantically. I couldn’t tell who wanted whom more. We were both sensually intoxicated.

“I need you,” I choked out. “NOW!” I practically screamed. I felt feverish with need.

He ripped my panties off and I didn’t even flinch. I wanted him inside of me, that was the only thought that invaded my mind.

I heard him unzip his pants and I nibbled his neck. It tasted salty and I started to lick him and suck his ear, which produced a moan. “Baby, you have to stop that. You’ll make me come right now.”

I chuckled. “No you won’t. You fuck like a bronco and have an endless supply of energy.” I continued my nibbles, licks, and sucks until he entered me.

I gasped; his size always shocked me. No matter how many times he fucked me. He was so gifted. I had never seen another dick like his, even in porn.

I closed my eyes and gripped him as he fucked me against the wall. He grunted as he picked up speed. I expected nothing less. I loved it when he fucked me hard. My pussy was stretched as far as it could go. All of my sweet spots were touched over and over and over again. With each thrust, he brought me closer. I felt the familiar stirrings and couldn’t wait to find my release.

I needed this.

I needed him.

I needed the release.

He fucked me deep and that thrust pushed me over the finish line. I screamed as my orgasm hit me. My pussy pounded in sweet abandon.
It was so good!

He grunted and then held himself deep inside me. I felt his fingernails enter my body and knew he had experienced an excellent orgasm himself.

He slowly backed away and then disposed of the condom discreetly. He washed up and then kissed me on the tip of my nose. “I have to get back,” he said regretfully.

I nodded and started to clean myself up so I would look semi-presentable. There was nothing I could do about the
just fucked
smile on my face. That was for dang sure.

“Are you okay?” Missy greeted me, then took one look at my face and gave me a knowing grin.

“More than,” I answered her and finished my drink in one breath. “I’ll have another!” I announced and she hollered that she would, too.

The drinks kept coming and we laughed so hard, my cheeks hurt. We were just chatting about nothing really when this guy came up behind me and put his arms around me.

“You’re so pretty,” a male voice slurred in my ear.

It was an unfamiliar voice and made me go on high alert. I tried to unsuccessfully jar his arms loose and started to panic when they refused to budge. My breath started coming out in pants and I started to feel lightheaded. He was holding me so tight that I was having a hard time breathing.

Missy was chatting to the guy next to her again and didn’t even notice. I knew she was a selfish bitch.

The guy brought his face close to mine and tried to kiss me. I moved my mouth away and screamed. It wasn’t a loud scream, due to my lack of breath, but Keegen heard it anyway. He jumped over the bar in one leap and the guy was instantly removed from my sight. I bent over at the waist and put my hands on my knees. I felt completely wrung out and pissed. That guy had completely ruined my buzz.

“Are you okay?” a nice gentleman asked me. He was sort of cute.

“Yes, thank you.” I managed half a smile.

“Let me get you some water and a new drink.” He winked at me.

Well then. The night was looking up! I sat down next to him and was still struggling to gain control of the situation. I felt grumpy and my tolerance for anything was low.

“Are you all right, Sage?” I looked up and met the worried eyes of Keegen.

“I’m fine,” I assured him. “This nice man has offered to buy me a drink.”

“The hell he is. She’s mine, dude. You need to leave. Now!” he exclaimed adamantly.

I hid my smile. I loved jealous Keegen. He was aggressive and confident. He also fucked me hard.

My breaths were coming out normally now and I was starting to feel better. “What time is it?” I asked Keegen, who was now on the other side of the bar.

“Almost midnight, is your carriage going to turn into a pumpkin?”

“No. I’m my own boss, you know that,” I said insolently.

“I know that you like to think that you’re your own boss, but in all honesty, you aren’t. Your husband owns your ass and dictates what you do,” he said angrily.

“What is wrong with you?”

“I just don’t like the situation you have put me in. Now I’m trapped and we can never have a relationship together.”

“Relationship? We already have a relationship. We have the perfect relationship, one that I thought we both benefited from.” I was so confused! He had never insinuated that he wanted more. I would never be able to be with him. He was a poor bartender that could never afford to pay my American Express bill. I craved the security that Tom provided, even though he couldn’t satisfy me in the bedroom.

“What if I’m not happy with that any longer?” he challenged me.

“Are you being serious right now?” I was baffled. I thought he had been completely happy with the way things were. We had mind-blowing sex and he didn’t have to worry about any of the other headaches that came along with having a girlfriend. It was a guy’s wet dream!

“Yes, I’m serious!” He ran his hands through his long blond hair and looked distraught. “I want more,” he said through gritted teeth.

Well, fuck!
This was not how I had foreseen things going.

“Can we go now?” All of a sudden, Missy looked green.

“Yeah,” I turned back to Keegen. “We’re going to have to table this discussion until I see you again.” I started gathering my stuff to leave.

He sighed and looked completely lost. “I’ll see you Monday night,” he stated.

I nodded and turned to leave. Shit! I couldn’t meet him Monday. I was supposed to meet Craig on Monday. Shit, fuck, damn! What was I going to do? “I can’t on Monday.”

“You’re kidding me!” He looked pissed.

“I’m sorry,” I said and I really was. He looked devastated. “Let me see if I can change my appointment,” I sighed.

I ushered a very drunk Missy out and refused to look back at Keegen. I was confused by the feelings he had stirred inside of me by stating that he wanted more. Did I want more? I loved my life with Tom—well, not loved. But I was satisfied—well, not satisfied.

Fuck! I was confused! But it was the perfect mix of emotions to add for Ben and Sarah. That was enough to ease my worried mind for at least a little while.

I had gone three days without seeing Ben. We barely spoke on the phone, either. My prepaid minutes were running out and so that only left us the ability to text. Even those were few and far between as I tried to keep my love life and home life separate. It was beginning to get harder and harder for me.
