CHAPTER EIGHT
TESS
Iâm lying alone on my bed, and my mind is racing about what just happened. Novakâs retreated to his room and hasnât stepped out since our escapade, and for some reason, I canât shake the building feeling of sadness inside me. Iâm being stupid, I guess. The texts we sent werenât some kind of relationship-building, they were Novakâs way of keeping his dick hard until he got home.
Heavy wind thrashes against my bedroom window and distant deep rumbling thunder says this storm isnât passing anytime soon. The weather reflects my mood â grey and glum.
The doorbell rings a muted, tinny hiss through the falling rain. Itâs seven-thirty and I wasnât expecting anyone. Novakâs probably invited friends around because of our parents being away. This fricking guy. He could at least have told me, so I wouldnât parade through the house in a half-torn French maid outfit.
It rings again.
âAre you going to get that?â Novak shouts. His room is one over from mine, so I can hear him as clearly as if he were standing right in front of me.
âItâs not for you?â
It rings a third time.
âGo answer the fucking door,â he roars. Daddyâs playtime is over. I put up with this macho bullshit while weâre having sex because itâs out of this world.
However, the fear of getting a few more lashes for insubordination makes me lift my ass off the bed, tighten a gown around my waist and drift lazily through the house, down to the door.
The doorbell rings a fourth time as I approach, and I hear Novakâs groan from down the hall.
I open the door to see Dale standing in front of me, with a box of chocolates and a bushel of roses tucked in one arm. Heâs soaked from head to toe, with bullets of water pouring down his face.
âHey, Honey-bug,â he says as if this is a totally acceptable thing to do.
âDale? What are you doing here?â I ask, before I usher him inside.
âYou told me your folks were away,â he says. âI thought Iâd surprise you. Letâs just the two of us have some fun.â He raises a quizzical brow.
âMy brotherâs still here.â
âAh, Novak? He ainât gonna be a problem.â
But he is. Heâs going to be a big problem. Iâve kept Dale a secret from the family over the past few months, because I canât see a world where Novak would let our relationship happen. He might act tough, use me for his darkest depravities, and then piss off, but he isnât the sharing type.
âIâve got work tomorrow,â I say.
I have to diffuse the situation and get Dale out of the house. I can come up with a bullshit story of who was at the door later. Maybe I can say it was the Jehovahâs Witnesses going door to door. Itâs early enough, right?
âBesides, Iâm seeing you on Wednesday for dinner with your family.â
Dale scans my nightgown and lets out a sigh. âI thought this is what you wanted.â
âWhat on Earth gave you that idea?â I speak in a hushed whisper.
