Stone (The Forbidden Love Series Book 1) (8 page)

“Yeah, I have to go. I’ll be back.” I said rushing out of there before she noticed my erection.
Too much pussy in one place
. I needed to get the fuck out of there before someone got hurt.

     I hailed a cab to the PO’s office. I was late and shit, I was going to hear it from this guy.

     I raced up the stairs and low and behold, who did I run into?
HIM.

“You’re late Joseph.” He said sternly. I wanted to push him down the stairs, but I held on to the railing as tightly as I could. The urge to push him was too much. No one has called me Joseph in years. The only person that called me Joseph was my father.
Only my father. Only him.

“Yes, I apologize. My little brother passed away. I over slept, sir.”
Fuck you asshole. I’m late and so what.

“I’m sorry about your brother. But, you’re still late. Don’t let it happen again.” He continued to walk down the stairs, his cocky attitude invaded the air. I wanted to kick him so hard, my foot would stay wedged up his ass. “I have another appointment. Consider this one a freebie.” He walked out of the staircase towards the front of the building. He pushed the door knowing that I had followed behind him and let the door slam in my face. I ran behind him and pushed open the door before he disappeared out of view.

“Thanks, sir. See you next week?” I said politely, wanting to push him in front of a speeding car.

“Sure thing, and Joseph dress to impress next time. You look like a fucking bum.” He smiled and got into a sleek silver BMW that pulled up and waved at me as if I were his best friend.
DICK. I hope he crashes his car and totals it.

     I turned and looked at the reflection in the glass window of the building. He was right.
I was a fucking mess
. I looked like shit and I felt like shit. I had no money and no job. I was worthless right now, but I knew I wouldn’t be for long. That guy gave me an idea, now I just have to think how I’m going to get it done without going back…
to jail.

Chapter 5   Madison

“Jeez, Who.Was.That?” Clarissa sighed.

“Who? Stone?” I said laughing.

“Stone? I’d love to get stoned with him. I’d let him put it anywhere!” She grabbed her big ass and licked her lips.
Jesus, what’s wrong with this bitch!

“Take it easy there sister, that’s my brother you’re talking about.” I eyed her up and down with hate bubbling inside of me for a moment, but I knew I couldn’t take her seriously. She was my best friend and had been there for me when no one else was.

“He’s not your brother. You don’t know who the fuck he is. I know your story.” She said smiling. “I’d like to fuck him right there near the windowsill where everyone can see.” She was practically drooling and I knew she meant what she said.
This bitch was horny…all of the time.
She had a different guy every week take her out. I mean, I don’t know if she let them get it in, but she went on way too many dates and that was just plain insane.
Or maybe…I was just jealous.

“He
is
my brother. I mean, half-brother…at least. I’m not sure, just…don’t use him. Even though he’d love it.” We laughed in sync. I glanced over and stared at her beautiful porcelain face and tight, curvaceous body. I was jealous and I really
did
want her to stay away from him.

“Damn girl, you look good. Look at you, working at that corporate office has changed you. You look like a million bucks. I’m sure your boss is ready to sink his teeth into you today. Have you thought about his offer?” She looked out of the window pensively. I was thinking the same thing she was, but, I have the kids and that offer can’t happen…just yet. Especially not today. Today was Bryan’s birthday and I couldn’t face Andrew or anyone else at that job.

“I have to go. Everything is in the fridge for the kids.” I stopped breathing for a moment. Clarissa stood staring at me and I lowered my head. “I miss him Clarissa. I really miss him. Today’s his birthday.” The tears spilled onto my cheeks ceaselessly. I felt the stabbing pain in my heart a mother would feel for her child. After all, I did raise Bryan alone after Stone got locked up.

“I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you. If I would have received your text, I wouldn’t have left to go see my mother.”

“It’s okay. It’s not your fault I didn’t have phone service in the hospital and besides, your mother needed you.”

“You know I loved Bryan and you needed me more. Be strong. They need you. Happy Birthday Bryan, I know you’re an angel in heaven.” She kissed my cheek tenderly. I held her around her shoulders tightly and whimpered like a wounded puppy. My Bryan was dead and he was never coming back.

Something I couldn’t fathom.

Something I just couldn’t comprehend.

“I gotta go. See you tonight. Hands off Stone.” I said seriously. I kissed Daniel and Alyssa on their foreheads and headed for the door.

“No promises there.” She giggled and closed and locked the door behind me.

     I headed to work driving the car that Andrew leased for me. A white 2015 Audi A6. I was nervous about seeing my boss. On top of being intelligent, rich, and gorgeous, he made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. This internship job was exactly what I needed to land me a huge corporate position at
PrivateCom
and not to mention all the free text messaging I could ask for and completely private. This job had its benefits, but I needed to make a choice. Andrew made it clear that even though I worked for him and was his personal maid, I owed him…everything, and If I didn’t make the right choice I would be paying for it…with the kids
.

         I arrived at work just on time. The parking garage was full and I ran as fast as I could to get into the elevator. I yelled for the person inside to hold the door.

“Hold it please!” I shouted.

“Sure.” The deep yet soft tone came from the one and only…my boss
Andrew Turner
. I glanced up at his beautiful face, chiseled cheek bones, square jaw and the perfect lips. His green eyes glowed in the dim light of the elevator and his brown hair was neatly combed to the side.

“Thanks.” I smiled, my heart still pounding against my chest from running.

“You made it just in time.” He grabbed my hand. He wasn’t shy about anything. He was confident, strong and intimidating. I liked that about him. He reminded me of Stone.

“Yeah, just made it.” I looked at my watch to avoid eye contact with him, afraid he might ask me to get on my knees and give him a blow job right there in the elevator. The elevator doors opened and he grabbed my hand tightly. We walked through the corridor to his office, my hands already sweating from the prospect of heading in that direction. He glanced around the hallway to see if our colleagues were watching, then he opened the door quickly, pushing me inside the room and against the door using the weight of my body to close it shut. He pressed his body hard against mine, reminding me that he had the right to do what he pleased. I could feel every inch of his body nestled into mine. I gasped as he placed his hand around the back of my neck and grabbed me by the hair tightly.

“What are you doing?” I asked almost exhausted from just looking at him.

“Just giving you a taste of what’s to come if you accept my offer?”

“I’ve had a taste of what’s to come Andrew. Blow jobs, orgy’s, borderline slavery. I can’t say that I’m very happy with that.” I said softly, placing my hands against his chest and pushing him away from me gently. He grabbed a fistful of my hair making sure he had a tight grip on it.

“You little bitch,” He whispered in my ear. “If you want to stay here working at this corporation, getting paid, me paying your rent and feeding those orphaned kids, you’ll give me what I want, when I want…and you will
obey
me. Do you understand what the fuck I’m telling you?” His eyes met mine and as much as I wanted to kick him in the balls, the moisture between my thighs was undeniable. I hated how vulnerable he made me feel. He smelled so fucking good, like a million dollars and Dolce and Gabana all wrapped up in one. “Do you?” he whispered sliding his tongue tenderly between my lips.

“I…I’m not ready, Andrew.” My body shook. “I’m…afraid.” His eyes blinked as if he couldn’t believe what I had just said. I was lying,
well in a way
.

I’ve never been afraid of anything in my life…except for that day. The day before Stone came home and found me…The day I knew what it felt like to feel helpless and almost violated from HIM.

     Andrew frightened me, like
He
did. When he’s nice to me…he’s beyond nice…with birds chirping and rainbows filling the sky. He could kiss me and turn me into a hot, sopping, mess in a second. He doesn’t even have to be inside of me to make me orgasm. As a matter of fact, we’ve never made love. He was so experienced sexually. He made my body feel good, but my mind confused. He could force himself on me, but he never did. He could’ve drugged and raped me if he wanted to, but I’ve always woken up safely in his arms.

He’s a double edged sword, someone you want to believe in, believe that he’s going to change…he
can
change, and yet, you know the truth…He never will.

“Afraid?”

“Yeah…you know.” I glanced down at his tie.

“From the first day you walked into this office I knew you were meant for me. There’s nothing to be afraid of. I’ll do anything for you.”

“Why did you choose me, out of all those applicants? Highly qualified applicants for this internship.” He released his grip on my hair.

“You were special. I knew it.” He smiled at me.

“What about the kids? What about Stone? What will happen to them if I take you up on your offer?” I whispered.

“They’re not
your
kids. We can have kids of
our
own. Your
brother
, Stone, can take care of them now. You’re too young and beautiful to have so much responsibility. Let me take care of you. I’ll be everything you want me to be.” His green eyes hypnotized me as his hand slid up my dress and found its way between my thighs. His fingers slowly pushed my lace panties to the side feeling the moisture on my sweet, virgin flesh.

“I
love
those kids. Can’t I take them with me?  I promise I’ll do anything you want. They won’t be a burden.
Please.
” He stroked me gently, massaging me slowly as he stared into my eyes. I was completely lost in him. He won every time.

“No, but they can visit and so can Stone.” He whispered. He kissed me tenderly on the lips and for the first time I opened my mouth and let his tongue explore mine. We never made out. His kiss was everything I had hoped for and more, soft, sensual and hot. I really liked him, when he treated me well, or maybe it was just lust. I had to make up my mind and now I had a new problem.
Tiny
…I mean Stone. He’s here…with us. His offer may sound perfect but there’s no way I’m leaving those kids.
No way.

“I can’t.” His face turned red with anger.

“Don’t make this hard Madison. You’re not leaving this place until you are Mrs. Andrew Turner or I’ll make sure those kids end up in foster care and your brother goes back to jail. I’ve spent a lot of money on you. Money’s not free.” He yanked my hair hard slamming my head against the door. The shock of the slam frightened me and my eyes welled up with tears. “You know those guardianship papers are bullshit, right?” He chuckled as he walked over to the enormous floor to ceiling window. “No one in their right mind would have given you and Stone custody of those kids. My lawyer drew up those papers to save your ass. You.Owe.Me.” I swallowed hard trying to shove the ball that was choking me down my throat. I cleared my throat.
What a fucking liar. He said those papers were legit.
“I’m sorry.” He said as he rubbed the back of my head with his hand. “Don’t make me hurt you, Madison. I…
love
you. I don’t want to hurt you. We’ve had a trying year. Let’s make this better. You’re so called brother is back. Let him take the kids.”

     My body was still engrossed on the sensation between my legs. Somehow his assault didn’t register until I walked out of his office and headed towards my desk. I rubbed the back of my head gently. He stared at me as I walked away like an abused puppy. I’m sure everyone in the office knew what went down and that to me was the worst part. I’ve never taken shit from anyone, but this guy stirs something in me that makes me feel like I can’t and won’t get anyone else better than him. He’s everything any girl would ever want and he wants
me
. He even covered up for me and made that lawyer put his job on the line to draw up those custody papers, even if they are fake.
Why am I fighting him? Why?
