CHAPTER FIVE
FLORA
“Catch your breath baby,” his voice is low as it rasps around the room, his hand cupping the back of my thigh and hooking it over his hip. I am panting, my chest rising and falling as I am still piecing myself back together again after he shattered me into a million pieces. It has never felt that good with Travis. I watch, wide-eyed as his long, thick cock bobs from his boxers. “Because I am about to fuck it right back out of you,” his tone has promise ringing around it as he slides the thick head of his cock into my pussy and I gasp, the way he stretches me, his hips slamming forward as he fills me to the hilt.
“Fuck,” I hiss, as he begins to move, my body getting accustomed to his size.
“Tell me baby,” he hums, his eyes on me as his cock slips in and out with ease, my arousal coating him. “Tell me he fucks you like this,” he groans and I whimper, shaking my head from side to side. “What a pathetic excuse…” he trails off just as we hear the front door slam.
“Edward,” I try to push him off me, my own pleasure coating me.
“You need to come for me,” he whispers, his lips on mine as he slows down, the torturous ache in my stomach growing as he slips in and out of me ever so slowly, teasing me.
“Edward,” I moan just as my fingers find my clit, trying to rub the ache out that he put there, trying to dampen the fire that is burning through my veins.
Pound. Pound. Pound.
Hard.
Slow.
Punishing.
Pounds.
“Come Flora, before they find us,” he whispers, stroking his cock in and out of my pussy.
“Keep going,” I pant, eyes falling to where he is filling me and my eyes roll in the back of my head, fingers dancing across my clit and I freefall into the abyss.
“Yessss,” his own head tips back as he slams into me fast, his cock pulsing as he comes inside of me, slowing his thrusts down until he is pulling out, lowering my leg and covering my cum filled pussy with my panties.
He leans in, kisses my forehead and whispers, “This was only the beginning,” before walking out of his office and towards, I am assuming, his brother and daughter.
I stand, dumbfounded that I have just let my boss fuck me.
That I have just given him what he wants.
That I have never orgasmed as hard as I did in my life.
That I have just cheated on Travis.
That this is about to become a full blown affair… and I don’t want to stop.
I kept out of Edward’s way after the weird tension on that first day. I gave into a temptation I never knew existed until four hours ago.
For the rest of the day he worked away in his office and I pottered about with Delilah.
Dinner was served and I ate in silence and as the hours passed, the more guilt ate me alive.
What had I done?
I bathed Delilah and read her three books before tucking her in. As I slipped out of her room, Edward slipped in and I took that as my cue to leave.
I snuck out the door like a dirty little secret and into the waiting car.
My phone buzzed and I saw his name.
Edward
Where did you go? I wanted to see you
Me
Book club, then home. To my boyfriend. This should never have happened.
Edward
It was inevitable.
Me
Screw you.
I shoved my phone back into my bag and thanked Edward’s driver as he dropped me outside where Hallie worked. Moving quickly across the pavement, I am grateful to be inside and spot them sitting in our usual spot.
“Hey,” I wave, plonking myself down in a winged armchair as Hallie passes me a cocktail.
“How’s work going?” Lily asks me and I feel everyone’s eyes on me.
Do they know?
Harper gives me the eye and Bella just sits looking as beautiful as ever with her cute baby bump.
“Good, I think,” I give a nod and take a mouthful of my drink.
“Thirsty?” Lily’s brows raise and I nod.
“Gasping.”
“Is the infamous Edward really that bad to work for?” Harper asks and I shake my head from side to side.
“He is actually really kind,” a smile paints itself across my lips.
“See, not all bad then,” Hallie places her hand on my knee and gives it a gentle squeeze.
“Nah, I suppose not,” I sigh and reach forward for our book club read. It’s a short but very spicy Halloween novella; masks, degradation… it has it all.
After our session, Lily gives me a ride home and I look up at my apartment. All the lights are off. Another lonely night for me.
“You seemed a little preoccupied tonight, everything okay?” she asks me, cutting the engine and I can see the concern on her face. Lily is older than us, but she is such a beautiful person inside and out. She calls herself the mum of the group.
“Yeah, I’m just tired. Feel a little out of routine but that will come,” I nod as I open the passenger door. “Thanks for the lift, I’ll see you next week,” I smile as I step onto the pavement and close the door behind me.
She gives me a wave through the window before disappearing into the night.
A heavy sigh passes my lips once more as I trudge my way into our apartment block. Riding the lift, I fish for my keys out of my bag and push them into the lock.
“Hello?” I call out, and smile deeply when I see candles scattered around.
Be still my heart .
Travis has never done anything like this and honestly, I am so grateful that he has.
Guilt consumes me whole as I step closer, I shouldn’t have slept with Edward, but things just kind of… happened? Little by little I close in on the ajar bedroom door where I see rose petals sprinkled on the ground.
I hear a groan come from the room and I stand a little taller. Pushing the door, my stomach falls and my heart follows.
There Travis is, riding a girl with dark brown hair and long legs that are wrapped around his back.
They don’t even know I am here.
I clap loudly, which has Travis pulling back and tugging our bedsheets up with him.
“And there was me thinking this was all for me,” I half laugh, half choke.
His eyes are wide, his mouth opening and shutting like a fucking fish.
“How foolish of me,” I drop my head and ignore the searing pain that scorches through my heart.
“Flora…” he begins and I hold my hand up, shaking my head from side to side.
“Don’t waste your breath,” I smirk, “I’m out.” I twist on my heel and walk for the door, the sound of his bare feet slapping against the tiled floor following me.
“Flora, please,” he reaches for me but I shove him back.
“Don’t touch me,” I give him a look of pure disgust. “You wanted to get caught, why the fuck would you bring her here?”
“Edward told me you were staying late tonight.”
I blink at him, realisation settling into my chest.
“What?” I whisper.
“Said he needed you to stay over.” I shake my head slowly. “I didn’t expect you home,” and I see the shame slapped across his face.
“The working late… was that ever a thing?” Travis looks away from me, a heavy sigh escaping.
“Only the last week… but before that…”
He wanted me to catch him .
“Before that, you were just lying so you could fuck another woman. You asshole,” I step towards him and slap his cheek, the air whooshes past his lips.
“I’m sorry, Flora.”
“Go choke on your own dick,” I turn and yank my front door open and storm down the hallway towards the lift. “OH!” I shout out as I turn to face Travis once more, “I fucked Edward today.” I see the way my words hurl towards him like bullets, sinking into his skin.
And that’s when I walk away, but it’s not until I am in the lift that the tears fall down my face.
