Heart's Betrayal (19 page)

“I do believe you, that’s what’s scaring me.” he said softly as he held my hand and led me to the hallway.

“You do?”

“Yes, I do.”

“I’ve seen it from the very beginning, but I never wanted to ruin your friendship with him. I trusted you, but I never trusted him.”

“He was never like that with me until I met you.”

“I knew he was jealous.”

“Look I don’t care about me. But if he hurt Margaret, maybe he tried to hurt me, too.” I whispered.

“You don’t really believe that, do you?” His eyebrows furrowed.

“It’s a possibility. I just don’t know. I don’t know what to believe. He has me twisted because…because…I love him so much. That’s why.” I said as tears brimmed at the corners of my eyes. I held my breath. I didn’t want to cry.

“Jenesis, you know that we’ve both had a bounty on our heads since the Danielson case, why would Dave kill Margaret or even try to kill you when there’s somebody out there who’s been wanting to hurt us? This is getting crazy. Do you know what you’re saying?”

“It’s a cold case in a month. How’s that possible?”

“That could happen…that’s not that unusual.” he said convincingly.

“Okay listen, maybe I’m jumping the gun, but this is all too coincidental, don’t you agree?”

“It’s not at all. You’re just hurt, Jenesis. You’re hurt and that’s it. Dave disappointed you…that’s all. He loves you Jen. No matter how much we run, we just can’t get rid of him.” He grabbed me by the waist.

“Michael, it was your idea. Now you brought him back. Something is wrong. If it’s not Dave, then who? We have to be careful.” I started to pace back and forth.

“I know.” He seemed nervous and had his hands folded as he placed his elbows on his knees while sitting on the couch.

“I’m going upstairs.” I walked upstairs, and Michael followed me.

“I’m sorry.” Michael slowly slid his hand down my back.

“Stop with the sorry, Michael, for God’s sake. It’s not your fault. I don’t understand what’s been happening over the last couple of months, it’s like a black cloud over my head”. I hung my head towards the floor. “I lost my babies…Dave is acting crazy…Margaret is dead…Tilly is gone…my parents are gone…and Vivian, freak accident? What’s next? You…me…I can’t take it…I just can’t take it.” I began to sob, leaning into his chest covering my face with my hands.

“Jenesis, please, baby, I love you…I know this is hard, but we’ll have another baby. I’m not going anywhere…I love you.”

“Promise me, Michael… you’ll never leave me. I wouldn’t be able to handle it. You’re all I have in this world.”

“I promise.” He stroked my hair and kissed my lips tenderly. The sensation of his lips on mine made my body tingle. He gently laid me on the bed.

“I need you Jenesis. It seems like forever that I made love to you. As much as I want to fuck you senseless right now. I want to make love to you. Please?” He whispered.

“I’m so afraid. I don’t want to even think about getting pregnant.”

“We can’t be afraid. If it happens, it happens.” He slid his tongue in my mouth and I grabbed a hold of it with mine. The tender, velvet strokes of his tongues ignited the heat in my body. I slid my hand down his pants and felt his large, hard arousal against my palm. I wanted him so badly, but I couldn’t get myself to undress.

“Promise me you’ll pull out Michael, please.”

“I’ll pull out.” He whispered against my lips.

   He slid his hands around my waist and used his thumbs to pull my pants down slowly. He was admiring my body as he slid my pants down to my ankles then threw them on the floor. He gently slid the palm of his hand in my silk panties, gently massaging me between my legs. His slid his finger inside of me as I gasped at the feeling. I was tight.

“You’re so tight, baby. You feel so good.” He whispered.

     I placed my hand on his and pushed his fingers inside of me deeper. He moved his fingers slowly, in and out, a slow gentle rhythm that rocked my core. He kissed my neck tenderly, making his way down to my breasts. He slid his tongue down between my breasts grabbing on to my nipple with his teeth, licking and sucking on it until it stood in attention.

“Michael, I love you.” I whispered. I followed the rhythm of his fingers with my hips as I stroked his erection. The warm juices from his tip made my hands slippery. I wanted him inside of me.

“You’re never going to know how much I love you baby…never.” He placed his tongue on my belly button, giving me baby kisses and circling it with his tongue. I spread open my legs for him and allowed him to sink his tongue inside of me. Each stroke of his tongue on my swollen clit made me tremble inside.

“Oh, God.” I whispered.

“Hmmm…” He gently swirled his tongue finding that spot that made my head dizzy. It swelled up in seconds and I felt the pressure between my hips. I pushed against his beautiful lips and tongue and grabbed on to his hair, as my body throbbed in ecstasy.

“Look at me, Jen.” He whispered. “I love you. No matter what…I love you.”

He grabbed me by the waist and slid his body up against mine. He placed his arousal inside of me, and I jolted from the pressure of his large manhood as he entered me slowly. I gasped and with one delicious thrust he filled me completely. My heart was drubbing with pleasure and soon our rhythmic dance took over our bodies. The sweat dripped from his forehead down to his lips. The taste of me on his tongue in my mouth made my arousal even stronger. His hands caressed my body, searching me, making sure not to miss a single crease as he worshipped me. He picked me up off of the bed, still inside of me and placed me up against the wall gently. He lifted me up and down by the waist, pulling out then sliding back in, grabbing on to my ass, as the slick, warm moisture that was released from us both, slid down our thighs.

“Oh baby, I’m gonna come.” He whispered against my mouth.

“Come Michael, come.” I whispered. He slammed into me hard and fast and I yelled out his name as I shattered around him. My muscles contracting hard as I fell limp in his arms. I held on to his shoulders as I woke up again as he rammed into me at full speed.

“Oh God! Baby!” He yelled. “Yes…fuck…yes.”

     My heart was pounding and the explosion of relief made me so exhausted, I could barely hold on to him. We held each other while leaning against the wall.

“You didn’t pull out.” I smiled.

“Who could pull out of someone as beautiful as you? I never want to pull out.” He smirked. “Hmmm…Let’s stay like this forever.”

“Forever is not enough, Michael.” He kissed me hard and I began to cry.

“Come on. Don’t cry. Loving you is forever. There’s nothing more than that. Nothing.” He wiped the tears from my eyes and carried me to the bathroom. He washed me gently between my legs, dried me up and carried me to the bedroom.

“I’ll be right back.” He whispered.

     We slipped under the covers and Michael held on to me all night long. This night was different. It felt like the beginning of a new relationship, and I was happy to grab a hold of the moment, and never let it go.

     I was adamant on finding out what happened between Eddie and Tilly. The curiosity was killing me, and Dave’s odd behavior was killing me even more. I called Tilly’s number and it
was
disconnected. I looked through Michael’s phone while he took a shower to find the message from Dave giving him Eddie’s number. I jotted down the number just in time before Michael came out of the shower.

“Hey.” Michael wrapped the towel around his wet waist tightly. I was almost distracted by the bulge under his towel, but I needed to stay focused.

“You left your cell phone on the table, here.” I handed him the cell phone.

“Oh, my cell phone, thanks, I didn’t want to forget it.” he said as he planted a kiss on my forehead and rubbed my shoulders.

“Michael, do you think…”

“Hold on.” Michael checked his phone as I stood nervously watching him check his messages.

“I have to go to work tonight. Someone was just killed near Hunter College. They arrested a suspect. Are you okay? You seem…anxious.” he said as he started to get dressed.

“I just finished telling you why I was feel this way…aren’t you listening to me?” I said aggravated.

“I’m losing it. I’m sorry. I’ll see you later…something new to worry about. I love you.” He walked out to the driveway and opened the car door and sat in the driver’s seat, he lowered the window and blew a kiss at me.

“See ya,” I said coldly as he drove off.

    I waited until he drove out of the driveway to call Eddie. The phone rang and he picked up,

“Hello?” his voice was low.

“Eddie, hi, it’s me Jenesis.”

“Jen, oh my God, how are you? How did you get this number?” Eddie whispered.

“Dave gave it to us.” I was surprised, I thought he gave Dave his number.

“Really?” He seemed shocked and a little upset.

“You sound surprised.” I asked nervously.

“I am, especially since he’s been calling Tilly every day since I was in London with her.”

“What? Why was he calling her?”

“I don’t know. Jen, this may sound crazy but…I think Dave and Tilly had something going on.” I swallowed hard.

“What? You’re crazy.” I knew he wasn’t, but I needed to keep my mouth shut and mind my own business.

“Am I? Didn’t he want to fuck her with his eyes in the limo? I know it sounds crazy, but…she didn’t deny it.”

“No…you’re wrong Eddie, you’re wrong.”

“I’m not…and now I’m here in the states and he hasn’t called me once. I’m working at the precinct because he offered me a job in the file room, and then he acts like I don’t exist. I don’t understand this fucking guy.”

“Why did you ask him for a job? You don’t even like him? Plus, I thought he said you were working in Brooklyn.”

“No, one minute I’m on my way to his precinct, then all of the sudden, he transfers me to Brooklyn. I’m running on empty. My rich wife dumped me, I don’t have a pot to piss in, and Dave is the only one with connections, and he offered to help me…and now…” he sounded desperate.

“You son of a bitch! You’re blaming Dave because you can’t control your wife-to-be, and she dumped you! You’re broke? Is that it? You need someone to blame?” I growled at him.

“No! I’m telling you he’s fucking my wife! He’s fucking Tilly! That sick bastard! I think she’s…” he barked over the phone.

“Is Tilly pregnant?”

“She said she was…something about…it’s too complicated right now…I can’t be with you…I need to do this on my own. I mean, everything was set, our home, and boom…she’s pregnant…by someone else. I always had a feeling she was with someone else. We barely had sex anymore, but I really didn’t want to believe it. I loved her Jen, I really loved her.” he said as his voice cracked, confirming the pain in his heart.

“I don’t understand. My God, Eddie, I’m so sorry. I just don’t believe Dave would stoop so low and do something like that to you guys.” I was lying through my teeth, but I couldn’t tell Eddie about Dave and Tilly. I just couldn’t.

“She won’t tell me who he is …she refuses to…Maybe it’s Dave or it’s her ex-boyfriend, he lived in queens and last month she admitted she went to see him a couple of times because his mother was sick.”

“She told me about that, his mother was dying from lung cancer.”

“Yeah, I just don’t know why the hell this happened, then Dave just tossed me aside. I mean I hate his fucking guts, but he offered to help and I …was desperate.”

“Look, why don’t you come over tonight and eat dinner with us…you can stay for a couple of days and we can talk.”

“I don’t know…”

“Oh come on, we’re friends, remember. I’m sorry about what I said and Michael really wants to see you.” He hesitated for a moment.

“Okay…I’ll see you tonight.” He sounded relieved.

“I’ll text you the address, you can GPS it.”

“Okay, thanks.”

“Bye.”

    I called Michael to let him know that Eddie was coming over. Michael wasn’t as happy as I thought he would be. I guess he wanted to call him himself.  As I waited for Michael and Eddie to come, the phone call with Eddie kept popping into my head.
Tilly’s pregnant? By someone else? Dave, no less?

Michael walked in through the door.

“Hey babe, did Eddie show up?”

“Not yet, but dinner’s ready.”

“Good, let me take a shower, I’ll be right down.” He kissed my forehead then he ran up the stairs.

My cell phone rang, and I saw Dave’s name.

“Hello?”

“Jen, is Michael there?” His voice sounded troubled.

“He’s taking a shower…what’s wrong?

“It’s…its Eddie.”

“What? What happened?”

“Nothing…he just called me and told me he was on his way back to England.”

“What? Can’t be… he was coming over here to visit with us.”
