before.
Oh God. I knew what was coming next. He
lowered his face to her tear stained cheeks and gently kissed one
and then the other; he kissed the tip of her perfect turned up
nose. He smiled looking down at her still. She laced her arms
around his neck as his mouth lowered to hers.
I watched as he wrapped his strong arms
around her and pulled her close to him; their tongues found each
playfully and passionately. This kiss continued to last for what
seemed like forever. Her hands lowered to his ass, gripping it and
pressing him in against her. I heard her moan his name.
I wanted to move but I was frozen to this
spot. What had happened between Trey and I that he would fall
victim to this manipulative bitch? Beautiful women had always paid
attention to Trey; he had seemed impassive towards it. This was
different. Trey had clicked with Amber from the start. Perhaps he
had clicked with her in a way that he never could with me. He liked
that she was his intellectual equal; he liked her spirit and her
love of law. He liked that they shared the same passion for it.
I watched as Trey finally pulled himself
from her. My eyes studied him; I saw that he had grown hard for
her.
"I can’t do this," he rasped, wiping her
lipstick from his mouth.
"Make love to me, Trey," she said softly. "I
want you. Come to my place. No one will ever have to know."
He looked torn and indecisive; it was a look
I was not familiar with in Trey. He put his hand on the back of his
neck rubbing it as if contemplating his next move; he turned away
from her taking several steps back.
That is when he saw me at the window. Our
eyes locked momentarily; I saw the look of panic that crossed his
face; God only knows what he saw in my eyes.
I was suddenly able to move again. My legs
were making up for lost time as I turned from the window and raced
across the yard. I got to the pasture and continued running toward
the horse barn. The wind was at my back as if to help me to get the
hell away from what I had just witnessed. Everything was blurry and
I realized that my eyes had filled up with tears. I needed to get
away from the pain. That was all I could think about at the
moment.
I threw open the door to the horse barn
screaming for Marcus. He finally came out of the tack room with a
look of alarm on his handsome face.
"What is it, Tylar? What the hell is
wrong?"
"Take me away from here Marcus, please?" I
sobbed. I buried my face into his chest. "Please take me to Gina's
now."
"Tell me what happened," he insisted.
"There isn't time," I shrieked, "I need out
of here now please!"
He grabbed his jacket from the hook and
pulled the keys from the pocket of his jeans. We headed out behind
the barn where his truck was parked. He opened the door for me as I
climbed in.
As we pulled down the long graveled drive to
the road I saw Amber's BMW pulling out. Trey was outside crossing
the pasture that I had just raced across.
"There's Trey," Marcus said, looking over at
me. "Do you want me to drop you here?"
"Keep driving," I stated firmly.
"Tylar," he said, "I don't want to face his
wrath. You know how he is about me being too friendly with
you."
"Marcus, I just caught Trey with another
woman. Trust me; you have no reason to worry. Please take me to
Gina's. I'm just as much your employer as Trey."
"You got it," he said as his truck blew past
Trey. Neither of us glanced over.
Marcus walked into the apartment building
with me to make sure that Gina was home. I had let my Blackberry
die in my purse. I didn't use it nearly as often as I had before we
had moved to the country. My father generally called on the
landline as did Gina since our cell reception wasn't the best out
in the country where our house was located.
The doorman buzzed Gina and Tristan's
apartment. She was home and I went up. I thanked Marcus and told
him not to worry about any repercussions from Trey. I told him to
tell Trey I threatened him with his job.
"Yeah right," he laughed, "He knows
