Chapter Seventeen

Terrence Teller’s house was cleaned by staff who were rarely seen. They cleaned the place while I was at school and remained in their own wing once their duties were done. My mother was loving playing lady of the manor. She was instantly elevated in her social status amongst her friends and at the country club.

Teller had never had one of his woman move in with him before.

She was on her best behavior, and that made me suspicious as to how many of her symptoms she could actually control. Or maybe he just never did anything wrong or to upset her…

Dad’s apartment was nice. It had a bedroom for me to stay in if I wanted to. But he seemed to be spending all of his time with Anna, and I felt like I was intruding by being around them. Terrence traveled a lot with his business and Mom went with him, leaving me alone in this huge house. But that was okay, it was easier to breathe when she wasn’t around.

And it was easier to invite Joseph over.

We had spent the night of the party talking and making out. Apologies and talk of the future dominated our conversation in between kisses. It was amazing how he alone could take me from despair the day before to a state of near euphoria. I don’t think that I had ever felt so happy.

I introduced him to my mother. She gave him her best superior smile before waltzing away to her hair appointment. I had expected a sneer at least at his worn jeans, hoody, and bruising. But she was polite in the way she was to people who she thought were beneath her and I never heard any more about the matter. She obviously found her own love life far more interesting.

She certainly didn’t know about the hours we spent together on my bed. We were always fully clothed. But I know she wouldn’t have approved.

I lived for those times.

I sunk back into the pillows as Joseph moved over me. He seemed to put so much concentration into kissing me like it was the most important thing in the world. I’d feel myself get lost underneath him and everything else melted away into nothing. His hands began to wander and he rubbed against me as a hand worked its way underneath my top.

“Joseph,” I murmured between kisses. “Joseph!”

“Sorry.” He rolled off me, panting. “Sorry, I got carried away.” He threw his own head back onto the pillow beside me and grinned at me. I grinned back at him.

“I like kissing you,” he told me.

“I like you kissing me too.” I reached forward and put my lips on his again, but his phone buzzed, interrupting us.

“Shit,” he huffed. “Who’s that?” he asked after the third text message had come through. He sat up and reached for his phone, scrolling through.

“Hey, sorry. I had better go.”

“What is it?” I leaned over to look at his messages. The name Katrin glared up at me.
