Mister Moneybags(56)

“What?”

Dex shook his head. “Nothing.”

“You were about to say something then stopped.”

“I was. I was about to say something…but it’s so important that I don’t feel like now is the right time. I don’t want it to be tainted by your anxious state.”

Hmm.

“Well, my anxiety isn’t going to pass until I decide to confront my mother.”

“I think I should be there when you do.”

“My mother’s birthday is this Sunday. Alexandra wants to have us over to celebrate. My sister really wants to meet you.”

I’d told Alexandra all about Dex’s identity but hadn’t had a chance to break the news about our mother’s affair yet.

“Well, then I’ll go with you to the party,” he said.

“The problem is, I don’t want to make a scene on my mother’s birthday, but I’m not sure I can hold it in, since it will be the first time I will have seen her since finding out.”

“Why don’t we just take it one moment at a time and see how things go?”

“Alright.”

Making a wish, I finally blew out my candle.





“I just can’t believe this,” Alexandra said. I could hear that she was crying.

“I know. I’m really sorry to have sprung this on you tonight, but I didn’t want you to be caught off guard on Sunday in case I lose it with Mom.”

I’d decided to call my sister and tell her the full story about our mother and Dexter Sr. She was just as shocked as I’d been to learn the truth about how the demise of our parents’ marriage really went down.

“Honestly, it just makes so much sense,” she said.

“How so?”

“Why Dad always seemed so sad when he was supposedly the one who’d had the affair.”

“You know, you’re right. That never did make much sense.”

Alex sniffled. “I hope it was worth it.”

“The affair?”

“Yes. It cost her marriage, cost us everything.”

“In a weird way, though, it brought me Dex. If it weren’t for my thinking that his father wronged Mom, I might not have ever volunteered so hard for that assignment. It’s like the universe gave me something in return.”

“You really care about him, don’t you?”

“We’ve been through a lot, but yes, I’m pretty sure I’m falling in love with him.” It was the first time I’d admitted it aloud, but there was no doubt in my mind how I felt about the man. “In fact, I’m certain of it.”

“Wow. I guess it’s definitely time for me to meet him, then.”

“Yes…long overdue. You’ll love him. He’s extremely charismatic and down-to-earth. Mom took to him right away. Of course, she had no clue who his father is.”

“Well, that’s about to change. The sooner you tell her, the better.”

“Okay, Sunday it is, then.”





Dex stood just outside of my bedroom with his arms crossed. With a seductive gaze, he watched me intently as I tied my hair up.

Wearing a black, button-down dress, you would have thought I was going to a wake instead of my mother’s birthday party. I was definitely not in the mood to celebrate anything, and my nerves were acting up because I knew that once the celebration wound down, I would be talking to her about the affair.

“You’re extremely tense,” he said, slowly approaching my spot at the mirror.

“I am.”

Dex came up behind me and placed his hand on my ass. “Don’t be. I’ve got your back.”

I pushed my tush into his hand. “That’s not my back.”

He squeezed. “You have the most amazing ass, but I was being serious.”

I turned to him and wrapped my arms around his neck before giving him a peck on the lips. “I know.”

Dex looked into my eyes for a while before he said, “I want to help you relax before we leave.”

“How are you going to manage that?”

“It’s time your * became acquainted with my mouth.”





I’d started out just teasing her. As she lay back on the bed with her black dress hiked up to her waist, I kissed up and down her thighs and over her stomach. Her breathing was heavy, and it was hard to tell if that was from anticipation or nerves.

There was only one way to find out and that was to press my tongue against her clit. The moan that escaped her was all the confirmation I needed that she was more than okay with this.

With each movement of my tongue, I wanted her to know how badly I’d wanted this, how good it felt to finally taste her. My cock was beyond ready to explode as I dove my mouth into her while she moved her hips beneath me. I pulled her thighs toward me to bring her body up closer against my face, and inhaled her.

It felt so good to give her pleasure that I’d almost forgotten it wasn’t supposed to be about me. This was about getting her to come so hard against my face that she had no choice but to be relaxed tonight. Yet, I was the one with the rock-hard erection and an insatiable need to keep devouring her, to prolong this.

I’d always loved going down on women, but I could honestly say that never before had I felt like I could come from the act alone. With Bianca, it was different. Giving her intense pleasure, watching her bodily sensations override the thoughts in her mind was truly as arousing as it was fascinating.
