Trick Chapter Thirty-Three: Perfect Timing
HadleyThe door to the apartment opens and in spills Trick, the cat, and Riley. "Damn, it smells good in here," Trick moans as he herds Riley towards the bathroom. "Is it almost done?" "Just have to get the tortillas out of the oven, then it'll be ready. Y'all have perfect timing.""We need to wash our hands, and then we'll be ready to eat, right Riley?""I've got a man-size hunger," she tells me, rubbing her stomach. "He worked you hard huh?" I hear the timer go off, signaling my tortillas are done. "She earned her keep today," Trick grins. "But right now I feel like I could eat all those tacos on my own. Let's go get cleaned up, Sprite."The way she follows him, doesn't question what he says to her, and the way she looks up to him fills me with pride. She's such a good kid, and all she's ever wanted is someone to love her. That's all either of us have ever wanted. I dread what's going to happen when we run out of hours, and we don't have Trick anymore.Unexpecte
Trick Chapter Thirty-Four: No Other Place I'd Rather Be
TrickI hadn't meant to spring this on Hadley, hadn't even planned on talking to her about any of it tonight, but it felt right. I'm beginning to trust my instincts when it comes to her. So far, they've not steered me wrong. "She's out," Hadley whispers as she looks at Riley.The cat and girl are curled up in the chair. "Don't wake her up. You're both welcome to stay here," I whisper back. "The couch folds out. I'll sleep out here, and you two can take my bed. It's not a problem."I walk down the hallway, grabbing the extra set of sheets and the pillows I keep there. It's not often people stay with me. Every once in a while, I have a buddy who comes through town on a bike and will crash with me if it rains, or it gets cold, or they need to have some work done. It's probably been at least six months since anyone's slept on it, and I know tomorrow my back is going to kill, but to have these ladies with me for a little longer is worth it all.Hadley helps me fold the bed out, a
Trick Chapter Thirty-Five: He's Not Gonna Bite
Hadley"We can shut the door, but let's not lock it, in case she needs something," I nervously tell him as I run my hand through my hair."Hadley," he tugs on my arms, pulling me over to the bed. He has a seat so he's eye-level with me, and forces me to look at him. "I have no expectations for whatever this," he motions between the two of us, "is.""I don't either," I have to be honest. "But God, when I left this morning, I admitted to myself, I wanted to know what it would have been like to be with you, and when I picked up food to make for dinner, I got condoms."My face is burning, I mean positively on fire as I tilt my head to where they are on the bedside table. I don't think I've ever wanted anything more than I do at this moment. I want him to take charge and make me stop being a fumbling idiot. "But if this isn't what you want…" I let my voice trail off, giving him an out. "I can go sleep on the couch with Riley and we can head home in the morning.""Shit no," his voi
Trick Chapter Thirty-Six: So Deep
TrickGoddamn, Hadley's hot and wet, and so fucking ready for me, I think I could get her off by just letting her thrust against my fingers. Letting her though, would be so empty. Removing my fingers, I use the wetness to coat my cock, before bracing myself against the mattress and taking her in one thrust."Trick," she moans loudly, grabbing on to my shoulders, her nails biting into the straining muscles. "Son of a bitch, Hadley."She's everything I expected her to be. Tight. Warm. Fucking Heaven. Her hands move down my back, fingernails denting my ass as she wraps her legs around my waist, holding on tight. I've got to move, I've got to feel the way she releases me and pulls me back in. Gritting my teeth, I make the withdrawal, closing my eyes and dropping my head to her collarbone, panting against the heated flesh."Feels so good, Trick," she pants along with me, thrusting up against me as I push back in. Words aren't needed as we start the push and pull, the thrust an
Trick Chapter Thirty-Seven: You're A Sight For Sore Eyes
TrickInhaling deeply on the cigarette clenched between my lips, I sigh as I let the nicotine wash over me. I'm doing my best not to be high strung, to have this conversation as level-headed as possible, but there's no denying I'm pissed. Squinting against the bright sun, I keep my gaze trained on the exit of the neighborhood gym. A part of me had wanted to go inside and confront him, but I'm old enough to know he may have friends inside that I don't want to tangle with.Leaning against the brick, my feet crossed, I keep watch. Thirty minutes after I take up my stake out, I see G walking outside, head bent down as he texts something on his cell phone. Walking across the street, I'm beside him before he notices me. Putting my arm around his shoulders, I lean in. "You and I are gonna have a little talk. The diner up there okay with you?" I point my phone to an all-night diner a half a block up.He cuts his eyes at me, I can tell he's trying to figure out what my play is here. "Your
Trick Chapter Thirty-Eight: Face My Fear
HadleyI can't believe what I just said to him. Nobody has ever smacked my ass the way he did. It caused a reaction in me, one I hadn't been prepared for. Sure I've heard people at work, girlfriends I had, talk about their boyfriends doing it to them. I always smiled and nodded, but I never really got it. Not until his palm made contact with my jean-covered flesh. I'd let him take me over his knee any day of the fucking week if it gave me a jolt like that innocent touch had.Shaking my head, I try to get myself out of the lust-induced fog this man puts me in every time I'm in his presence. Never before, not even with my ex, have I been so attuned to a man, so conscious of how he makes me feel. If it were anyone but Trick, I think it would be completely disconcerting. With him, I'm willing to give a piece of myself up, let him help me figure out who's hiding under everything she's tried to cover up for so long.Paper after paper goes into the trash bag that I'm going to run by the
Trick Chapter Thirty-Nine: You're Stuck With Us
Trick"Jesus Christ," I huff as I pound my feet up the stairs. "I didn't realize how much stuff you would be bringing. I may have revoked my offer if I did," I turn around to grin at Hadley. She shoots me a scowl as she stands at the end of the stairs, trying to figure out how to bring up four bags at once. "I told you," she huffs herself as she starts. "We come with a lot of stuff, and I have to work."Once I get to the top, I take a breather, watching as she hoofs it up the stairs. When she stands beside me, I lean in. "I'm joking, you know that, right? I asked you to be here because I want you here. You and your five thousand loads of stuff," I laugh, groaning when she knocks me in the stomach."Riley, can you open the door for us?" She gives me a glare over her shoulder as she enters the apartment before me.It looks like Riley's made herself comfortable with Tux. That's right, I've given up calling my cat by his given name. He never responded to it, but he does respond
Trick Chapter Forty: Don't Be A Brat
Hadley"What do you mean you can't come?" I'm starting to panic as I look at my husband, seeing the unbending emotion in his face."Hadley, I told you when we had her, there would be times I couldn't participate, times I couldn't act like other fathers do."He cuts me down with sharp words, giving me a bored look as he continues putting his cufflinks in his button-down shirt. It infuriates me when he gives me this look. "You don't act like most husbands do, either," I'm pissed and he's going to see the fury, he's going to experience the full wrath of my disappointment."Don't be a brat," he grabs his suit jacket, putting it over the shirt."What kind of a man schedules a business dinner on the day of his daughter's ballet recital, but then doesn't even think about the fact his wife can't come? And can I add she does fucking ballet because it's what you want her to do, even though she expressed interest in piano? Yet you've never seen her do it?""She's three, Hadley, and do
