CHAPTER 8
Carina
The sound of the guests milling and chatting on the other side of the velvet curtains clashes with the thump, thump, thump of my heart. I run my hands down my sides, pushing up onto my toes as my insides tremble and my mouth goes dry.
The evening has been perfect so far. Everyone loved dinner and then Gennero changed into his Santa suit and gave away gifts for two hours while the handful of younger children hopped on his lap and whispered their wishes into his ear.
He worked his way toward me when things were wrapping up, and he asked me if there was anything I wanted to tell Santa.
I stuttered as he leaned down next to my ear. âSanta will be stuffing you full of his big present later tonight. Iâll be coming down more than the chimney this Christmas, honeysuckle.â
Once the gift giving and dessert was over, it was time for Lucy and I to sneak away, get changed and warmed up for our version of The Nutcracker on the new stage.
Itâs not just the new auditorium, everything feels different. I took my grandfatherâs cum inside me last night. More than once.
That changes things. A lot.
I could be pregnant right now.
That thought blinds me. How reckless are we? Having this fantasy lust-life with him is one thingâ¦but making a family? Of our own?
Iâm not thinking straight. But, God, how I want to believe there is a happily ever after for us.
Even now, thereâs a wet reminders seeping out of me and the taste of my pleasure dances on my tongue from when he kissed me after I soaked his face.
I focus on Lucy moving under Alikâs guidance.
Is that a tremor in her pirouette?
Lucy never, and I mean never teeters. Her grand jeté, usually soaring with effortless grace, began with an uncharacteristic stumble, and the extension of her leg, a tad too high, disrupted the fluidity of the movement.
Whatâs happening? Itâs five minutes before we go on for the high point of the party. We canât screw up. I want everything to be perfect.
I find myself mentally counting beats, my internal metronome racing to keep up with my own routine, trying to synchronize my moves with Lucyâs missed steps during the pas de deux we have perfected over time.
Weâre dressed in matching pale pink leotards with white tulle tutus and slippers laced up our calves in white satin ribbon. Our hair is in a classic bun with our faces touched up with blush and rose-colored lipstick. We should be ready, but somehow, I feel weâre not.
Lucyâs distraction is putting me on edge. In the place of her usual practiced perfection, there are mistakes she would never makeâher timing is off, her lack of posture is more like a duck than a swan and sheâs not even extending properly.
Yet, who is Alik picking on?
âCarina!â His sharp voice makes my shoulders tense as I almost lose my twirl. âAt least suck in your belly.â
I hesitate for a moment. Tonight, his insults have lost their venom.
