Chapter 27
The following Thursday Mallory enters Sebastian’s office with his coffee.
He is on the phone, a business meeting she had scheduled for him a few days earlier.
They haven’t talked about Grant and he hasn’t asked to see her since they’d returned home.
Maybe he is finished with her. Maybe she should work on healing her shattered heart.
She returns to her desk and is going through emails when her desk phone rings.
“Come to my office,” Sebastian tells her in a dark voice.
Has she done something wrong? Quickly she stands and rushes into his office. He is standing, looking out the window that overlooks the city below.
“Your father is aware I am seeing someone,” he finally says without turning to look at her.
“How would he know that?”
Slowly Sebastian turns around and studies her for a long moment. “Because your father frequents the same underground clubs that I do and I haven’t been there in a while.”
He waits a moment to allow her time to process exactly what that means. “My mother?” Sebastian shakes his head no.
“My father, does he partake in things at the club? Does he cheat on my mother?”
“Your mother and father have an understanding amongst one another.”
Mallory’s heartbeat quickens, her breaths shallow as she feels her mind race with a thousand questions. “Does he know about me and you?”
“He does now. I had dinner with your father last night. I will not lie to him. He does not know the extent of what we have explored together. He only knows we are seeing each other.”
“What did he say?” Mallory steps forward, laying a hand on his arm.
“Your father only asked that I take care of you while you belong to me. And if it grew serious then to let him know she he can speak to your mother about us. The age difference might be hard for her to understand.”
Mallory is shocked her father is okay with this relationship. She was certain he wouldn’t be. But then again, she would never guess he belonged to underground sex clubs.
“Do you want to be serious?” Mallory finally speaks.
“With you, yes, I do.”
Shocked washes over her face as her eyes meet his. “Really?”
“In the beginning I did not, but now I can’t get enough of you and would like to see where this all goes.”
She is quiet, thinking over his words.
“Answer me this, peach.” His index finger lifts her chin so her eyes meet his. “Do you want to be serious with me as well?”
“Yes, sir, I do.”
“Fabulous. “Do you want to be serious with Grant as well?”
A gasp escaped her. “You mean more of you and Grant? At the same time?”
“Yes.”
“But how would that work?”
“There are no rules here. Anything goes as long as we are all happy. We will figure the rest out as we go along.”
“A Daddy and a Sir? All for me?”
“Yes, little peach. We would both be yours. We spoke. He doesn’t want to live in Paris without you. So he's coming here.”
“What?”
“We can discuss the details later. All this is yours, peach. All you have to do is say yes.”
“Yes. Yes yes!” She squealed.
“Good girl.”
THE END!
