Chapter 20 Hope
He laid me on the plush rug that sat in front of the fireplace.
“I need you,” he said. The way that he said me told me that he really felt it.
He eased his dick inside me of me, making my back arch. He felt amazing inside me. He moved his dick around, like he was trying to make a figure eight inside of me. My pussy tightened, gripping him as he slid in and out of me. Before long, we were both pumping hard, breathlessly. I could feel my pussy beginning to pulsate.
“I’m coming!” I yelled.
The orgasm washed over me in waves that sent me soaring. I had never felt anything so satisfying.
When it was over, I laid there, staring at the ceiling, in complete shock. My body shook for several minutes afterward. Darren caressed my face and hair, letting the waves die down, watching me carefully.
He was so sweet and gentle. I couldn’t believe that anyone would ever see him as a monster.
When I got back home, I sat in the car in the driveway for a long time.
How was I going to break the news to my mom about what was happening?
I still didn’t know as I walked into the house. She was standing at the door, waiting for me.
“Hope! I’ve got great news! The doctors ran some tests and found out that the reason that I’ve been having so many headaches is due to a deviated septum, which they can easily fix. It looks as though things are starting to get better already.”
Her hopeful smile made me happy and sad all at the same time. I was glad that she was getting better, but wasn’t sure how the news that I was about to give her would affect her.
“What’s wrong?” she said, her smile fading as she read the sadness on my face.
“Mom, we need to talk…” I walked into the living room and sat on the couch, my hands folded neatly in my hands, waiting for her to join me. She slowly walked from the foyer into the living room and sat down.
“Hope, what’s going on? You’re scaring me.”
“It’s not bad, mama,” I said, patting her hand. I took a deep breath and prepared myself to let it out.
“I’m going to go live at Dar…Mr. King’s house to be his live-in maid.”
My mother blinked a few times like she was trying to process what she had heard.
“Why? What do you need to do that for?? You can be his maid and live here!” My mother was starting to get upset just by that little piece of news, so I decided that I wouldn’t mention anything about the baby at all. She would not understand and I knew it.
“He just wants me to be there to help him out more. I guess he’s going to be doing more at the house and he wants someone who can live there with him. I told him that I have two younger brothers and about your health, so he doesn’t want to impose on you.”
“But, he’s perfectly fine with imposing on YOU? Hope, you are so young. You have your whole life ahead of you. I never wanted you to get roped into my life like this. I only agreed to let you help temporarily. Now you’re talking about moving in with one my clients? I do not like it at all and I’m not okay with this! Please don’t do this!” She burst out in tears, sobbing loudly.
“Mom, no! Don’t cry! It’s okay! This is only going to be a temporary thing until he finishes with a few of the projects that he’s working on. And you haven’t even heard the best part. He’s going to be sending a payment over of $50,000 for my services as soon as I move in.”
Her sobbing slowed to sniffles.
“$50,000? Wow. That’s a lot of money. Why he is being so generous?”
“I’m not really sure,” I lied. “But, you know that this would be amazing for our family right now. We can finally get a handle on some bills. And it will even help me to pay toward my tuition and set up a college fund for the boys. They will definitely be needing one in the next handful of years.”
I could tell that she was thinking about it more rationally.
“That’s very true,” she said quietly. It sounded good, but I could tell that she was still torn.
“And besides,” I continued. “It’s not like I can’t come home to visit. It will be like I’m staying at college and can come home on the weekends.”
Her tears had completely stopped.
“Well, that’s good.”
We sat in silence for a few minutes. I waited for her to talk.
“Well, okay, we can always try it out. And if it doesn’t go the way that he hope, you can always come back home and we’ll just have to figure out another way to take care of our bills.”
“Yeah,” I said, smiling weakly. I knew that I was lying, but I couldn’t bear to see her cry anymore. I figured that I would just deal with things as they came.
“Congratulations on your new job,” said my mother, hugging me tightly.
I hugged her back, knowing that it would be one of the last hugs that we would share for a very long time.
