“Uhhh yessss!! f**k this pussy.” I cried out as Mr. Stranger rammed his thick c**k in and out of me
His left hand was on my left boob, caressing my rock-solid n*****s while his right hand was rubbing on my swollen clit
He was about to grab his c**k and withdraw out of me, but I found myself grabbing his hips. “In me. Come in me, please.”
“Miss Cole?”
“Miss Cole.” Someone touched my shoulder and I jerked, my eyes flinging open
Oh f**k.
I looked at the investors, looking right at me with questionable expressions.
My assistant, Darcy, leaned in from behind me, “Are you alright, miss? Should I cancel and reschedule?”
Of all places to have a f*****g s*x daydream, it had to be in the middle of a meeting.
I cleared my throat, forcing composure into my voice. “Gentlemen, my apologies. Darcy will finish the presentation. I’ll email updates later.”
Darcy helped me pack up my MacBook and iPad into my bag. I stood up, hoping that my dress didn’t have a wet patch behind and my knees wouldn’t wobble.
Darcy inched closer to me. “Miss Cole, are you sure you’re good? Do I have to schedule a doctor’s appointment? This is the first time you’ve been distracted at a meeting.”
The concern in her voice was genuine. “I’m fine. I think I just need a little rest. Update me later?”
She nodded, and I gave the men on the board a firm smile and walked out of the conference room. I exhaled as soon as I was out of sight and walked faster to my office, picked up my car keys and headed to the parking lot
Three years of iron self-control, and one nameless man had me daydreaming like a teenager.
I needed to go home and cool off
I couldn’t even blame Katrina and Cassie. I blamed myself for not immediately snapping out of whatever feelings of lust this was
My phone vibrating dragged me out of my thoughts.
It was my mom calling. A smile curved on my lips as I connected my AirPods, picking up and keeping my eyes on the road.
“Hi mom, how are you?” My voice bubbled
“Oh my princess, I’m doing okay. Except your father keeps making me raise my voice all the time.”
I chuckled, relaxing into my chair. I had gotten used to her always reporting my dad to me
“Enough about us, darling. How’s our little CEO doing? How’s work?” My mom asked
Work was fine. My sanity wasn’t. But I wasn’t about to tell her that.
“Everything‘s fine mom,” I responded simply, sparing her the details
“Raina,” my dad spoke this time, his tone serious—as always. “Your sister is getting married.”
My smile froze on my face. I hadn’t heard her name in a while, I wasn’t sure how I felt about hearing her name even though I had forgiven her.
“That’s wonderful,” I said, trying to disregard my feelings and be genuinely happy for her.
“She’s getting married to Shawn.” My mom dropped the bomb quickly
I instantly slammed on the breaks.
She was getting married to my ex?
Of all the men in the world, it had to be Shawn? Wasn’t it enough that she went behind my back to f**k him—on the day I was supposed to marry him?
“Raina?” Mom’s voice softened, nervous. “Sweetheart, are you still there?”
I forced a laugh. “Yeah. Just… surprised, that’s all.”
“Honey, are you okay?”
I inhaled before I spoke up. “Of course, mom. Why wouldn’t I be? I wish her a happy married life”
I resumed driving.
“We wanted you to hear from us before you saw it on the internet. The wedding procedures are starting in three days. You’re coming home to celebrate with the family?” My dad sounded like he was telling me rather than asking
Celebrate?
“You know we need to control the narrative. People are already speculating as to what happened between you and Shawn and with the news of Shawn’s wedding to your sister, people will talk even more. If you arrive with someone, the questions will lessen.”
Of course, my dad will always pick the family’s reputation.
“We know work keeps you busy,” my mum added even before I could come up with that excuse, “So, your dad and I set up a few dates—nice men, all professionals. You can pick who you like best.”
“We’d hate for people to….well, you know, assume you’re still…stuck on Shawn” his voice drifted off
I hadn’t introduced a man to my parents in three years, so they automatically assumed that I hadn’t moved on from Shawn
I was about to give them an excuse and save myself the torture, but my phone binged. Someone texted me
Shawn?
I eagerly opened the message, expecting… I don’t even know what. Maybe an apology. Maybe closure.
Instead, it was a photo. He and my sister, smiling like they owned the world. Her hand on his chest. His arm around her waist.
For a second, I didn’t feel anything.
I read the text attached: Save the date: June 12. We’d love you there. It wouldn't feel the same without you. Hope there’s no bad blood
Hope there’s no bad blood??
After f*****g my sister on our wedding day, he hoped there was no bad blood?
I couldn’t continue driving anymore, I pulled over.
The numbness cracked replaced by anger
My chest clenched so hard I thought I’d stop breathing. Three years later and he still knew how to aim for the soft spot.
Fuck him.
I wanted to scream, the anger finally finding its way out.
Fine. If he really wanted me at the wedding. I’ll be there. I wasn’t going there to make peace.
I was going there to make him look at what he lost
I was going there to make him choke on regret.
“Raina??” My mom called. “Are you there?”
“Yeah,” I whispered, trying not to seethe
“We understand how you might be feeling, but it’s your sister’s day, and it would mean the world to us if you could show up.”
They didn’t know what really happened that day.
Only Cassie and Katrina knew the truth.
I let them keep their version; their eldest daughter developed cold feet before her wedding and called it off
They never knew what it cost me to smile after that.
The last thing I wanted was to show up without a date and get sympathetic looks from everyone.
What better way to pay back than to show up, not only show up, but show up with someone so much better than Shawn could ever be in all his years of living
If Shawn wanted to see me at that wedding, then he’d see me glowing. Smiling.
And standing next to a man who made him look like a joke
“There’ll be no need to set up dates. I’ll attend and I’m bringing someone.”
There was a pause, then Mom gasped, thrilled. “ You’re dating someone?”
I swallowed, too deep in to take it back now. “Yeah. I am.”
I heard some background noise before my mom spoke up. “Honey, we’re so happy for you and we can’t wait to see both of you in three days. We have to go now, preparations for the wedding are ongoing and we have to oversee. We’ll talk later, okay? We love you.”
“Love you too.” I said back before she hung up and then reality dawned on me
I looked around my car helplessly. I didn’t know any man I could bring. Hell, I barely talked to men outside of work.
Where was I going to find someone that would agree to go to the wedding events and wedding and fake date me?
Or could I just step out and start talking to a man and hope he asks me out within three days?
As I was struggling with my thoughts, I caught a card. The one the stripper from the club gave me out of the corner of my eye
I reached out and picked it up. It had just his number written on it.
He was exactly the kind of man that fit what I needed. Do I call him?
Christ, I never thought a day would come when I'd contemplate needing the services of a gigolo. I was too deep to back out now
So I dialed the number.
