My heart pounds, and I am beyond anxious.

Thank you. That was fun.

“Fun?” I huff loud, pissed with the heartless and short message. “That son of a bitch.”

I pace, I process, and I think way too much. I am not confused about the trip or my feelings, but I am disturbed.

Forcing myself to not run upstairs, to not kick his door in, and to not demand an explanation is beyond hard. Really f-ing hard, but I need to know. Know how to feel. Know who we are.

Know if we are real, or if he and the last few amazing days was all just a show.

I pace, trying to understand what is going on.

Based on the verbal agreement to be his fake fiancée, and like in many countries around the world, verbal agreements hold up in a court of law, that should mean weare still legally engaged.

And that should mean I have access rights to him. Him, his body, his lips, and his eyes.

All of him!

Thinking on, I suspect the only issue or complication to that line of thought is that the deal had noted the engagement was a ruse. A trick. A scam.

My mind goes around and around, and I am close to vomiting.

I am about to storm up the rest of the marble stairs and demand we talk when the stupid bell rings again.

“Son of a bitch,” I huff, running to the message.

I lift it fast, my fingers shaking, my heart racing.

PS Can you please come up? It is time. Time I make you come.

I snap, and I see red. I am beyond furious, but furious and almost turned on.

Scribbling fast, with a shaking hand, I write.

FU. PS What time and how?

I put it in the stupid pipe system, and it wooshes away. I then yank hard on the dumb bell so he knows to check his end.

As I pace in the forming moonlight, confused, angry and excited, the stupid bell rings.

Vaulting across the bed, I snatch at the note.

Now and tongue.

I yell loudly, and it is not pretty.

Deciding clothes are not needed, and enough is enough, I yank off what I have on. That being comfy black yoga pants and a T-shirt, no bra.

I run naked, and I am pissed.

Enough is enough!

After streaking up the back two levels of marble stairs, I run down the polished oak hall. I pass old oil paintings, marble statues, and fancy antiques.

Suddenly, my eyes pop and I slow. “Fuck.”

I cover my breasts and try to look normal.
