67. Oh, Yes. Oh, Yes Yes Yes

Chris

Juliet sat facing me in the bed. I had a full view of her perky breast. It was difficult not to take a peek. I forced myself to hold out as long as I could.

“You could have gone with me to Canada…You or Louis could have gone with me. I asked you to take me, and you didn’t. You put me into another man’s arms… again.” I turned around, away from her planting my feet on the floor. She was going on and on. I was desperately trying to fight with her. But all I wanted to do was kiss her.

“I pushed you into your husband’s arms, not some new addition… So what… You can just do what you want. But we’re supposed to stay faithful?”

“Didn’t you sleep with Sita?” I shook my head. “But you did go to meet with her… That’s why I left, isn’t it… And then what?”

“You’re avoiding the question. Why can’t I even talk to my ex, but you can sleep with someone else.”

“Because I’m jealous! You know that. And what has she got to do with this?”

“Everything… She is why you’re angry… Now answer the question?”

“You want Sita back in your life?”

“Don’t change the subject… Answer me!”

“You can have as many women as you want… You’ll probably go home at any moment and have to marry a hundred Riphath girls prettier than me. With bigger breasts.”

She glanced down at her chest. “Where the hell is my top?”

I picked it up off the floor and held it up. It was all ripped. Her mouth fell open. What am I supposed to wear…?” I walked to the cupboard in the corner. I was disappointed in myself. I would give her something to cover herself up with.

Opening the doors, she pushed past me. I did take a peek. “That’s mine…! This is all mine…! Every time something went missing, it was you?” She started taking things out and putting them back into the closet. She grabbed her favorite top that I stole first. I loved her in it. It drove me crazy… But I won’t tell her that.

She put it on, and I almost lost control… reaching out to her… just to take it off again.

“What?” She asked. I bit the inside of my mouth, staring at her. Stupidly I shook my head from side to side.

“You don’t even want to make our relationship official in any way! I don’t even know what we are? Sita has more claims on you at this stage. At least she is you’re x-wife.”

“But I’m not sleeping with her, remember.”

“Then what happened? You going to tell me she didn’t kiss you?” I stayed quiet. Juliet’s jaw flexed, nostrils flaring… “You didn’t have your hands on her at any stage in any way?” My eyes cast down to the ground. Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea. She just had a setback the previous night, and I talked about the one thing she hated most on earth. Maybe second-most.

“I didn’t sleep with Michael… I was pregnant, remember.” My head snapped up.

“Really!! We did a lot of stuff that didn’t involve… that. Everything else is still cheating!”

“Yeah, well… I owed him for the drugs he gave me.”

I choked out a laugh with indignation mixed in there. My eyes were wide and my mouth open. “He what? I’ll kill him… I’ve been looking for an excuse to just squash him and suck him dry.”

“No!” She yelled. I spun around before I crossed the threshold to call Warden into existence.

“Why not?” She was grasping at straws. It made me so happy. Her fumbling for an actual excuse. But it wasn’t an excuse she was searching for. She did feel something. She was just not saying. And she didn’t know how to say the next part either.

“I owe him… again.” That time the words stung a little. Like he had some kind of right to her.

I walked over to her and shook her. “You won’t ever go anywhere near him again, do you understand me. I’m also jealous.”

“What is wrong with a few BJ’s and handjobs… It’s not like you were the first in everything.”

I shook her again. That time a little bit harder. “Not the right answer! Try again.”

She laughed lightly. “This is all you’re fault anyway.” Her laugh disappeared as quickly as it came.

“What? How do figure that?”

“You didn’t… go with me… You told me to make right with Louis, and then you didn’t come… You could have just come at any time… I was a one-minute trip away.” Tears pooled in her eyes. “I told you that I won’t wait anymore. If you don’t want to be with me… I’m sure I can find someone that wants to. If you want to be with… Sita… then go! Be… freaking free.”

“You’re waiting for Marcus.” She scoffed and walked past me. “Your head is so far up your ass that you know nothing of what's going on… I’m not waiting for anyone… You ignored me for months. You Let Michael hide my phone… You pushed me away… You lied to me… Treated me like a child… There is no pill for stupid people.”

“You’re lying to yourself about Marcus… Where are you going?”

“I need to pee! Do you mind?”

I made room so she could pass me and walk outside. “To the back.”

“Where the hell are we…?” She opened the little wooden door. “Why am I peeing in a long drop?”

“We needed to give you space, so you didn’t stress again. Marcus and I had to sort out that whole ordeal… Who’s head is up their ass now. Louis had to finish Charlene's freaking house. He did everything you see alone, Juliet… Your sister needed a house. We needed a place to train. Do you think we wanted to leave you there?”

“Eeeek!” She screamed, running outside. Stumbling out with her pants around her ankles. I burst out laughing. But she was up so quickly. Frantically picking up her pants all the way. A snake came slithering out. Manifesting, I teleport her out of there.

“That’s and Aspic Viper. It’s venomous.” I held her in front of me. Her back pressed against me. I was breathing in the scent of her hair. My lips glided over the soft flesh on her one shoulder that was still not covered in leather.

“Jul…” I couldn’t even finish her name. Her mouth was on mine before I could beg at her feet. Hands in my hair and around my neck. I picked her up on her waist and put her on my hips the way she liked it. She was like a vise grip. Hungry, kissing me everywhere as I carried her back into the cabin. My neck, my ears, fueling my own desires. Finding my lips again and again.

“F- Juliet! Never let me go….” Some tears rolled down her cheeks. But she didn’t let me get in one more word. My hands ran over her like I’d never kissed every part of her body.

“Do you think it’s healthy that every time we sleep together, we have angry sex?” I asked when it was over way too quickly… She climbed on top of me. Kissing me and letting them trail all over my chest. Biting my nipples, closing my mouth with her hand. When I was quiet, she stroked me until I was ready again. I put my hand on her cheek when she sat upright on top of me, pushing her lips into the palm of my hand.

“Juliet… I have to leave again.” Her head slumped down. I rake my fingers through her hair.

A few frustrated noises escaped her. She breathed in a deep breath and sighed heavily. “You weren’t there for the freaking birth of our son!” She grinded down on me and my eyes closed. “And now you sleep with me, and you’re just going to leave again… Where are you going?” Another hard grind as her hips moved over me. I grabbed her behind her neck and pulled her down, letting her hair fall over our faces as I whispered into her ear. Her body stiffened around me. She wanted to freak out. I lifted up my knees, keeping myself deep inside her. Pushing her hips down with my hands. “I will come back.” She kept her head at my ear. “And… Marcus and Samual almost killed Sita. I almost killed her… She didn’t have a good time… Marcus also saw her naked.”

“Seriously, Chris. Not helping! With me on top of you?”

“I don’t mind angry sex.” It got a giggle out of the little girl, making me moan.

Juliet

I had only slept with Chris once and then with Louis. My total sexual experiences were wrapped up into two nights of passion. Chris and I had sex twice in a matter of half an hour. I couldn’t get enough. Just letting go… feeling again.

“I saw the letter you got for your birthday. Michael asked you to marry him. Are you going to do it?”

“I’m never going to see him again. It was just a… moment of weakness and a cat. Why do you care… Is three your limit?”

Chris sat at the edge of the bed, naked. His one hand rubbed the other.

“So why did you say that this was a stuff up, and now you want to add another addition.”

“For heaven’s sake. Michael isn’t another addition. And I said that for Louis… It doesn’t seem like he can handle it… It doesn’t seem… like you can handle it.” I gestured to the cabin and watched him. But Chris was being serious. “Marcus… well, I don’t know what he’s thinking about all of this… It feels like at any moment you are all going to stand before me and ask me to choose.”

Chris got up, turning to the bed. He got on the bed, standing on his knees. He pulled me up, taking my upper arms in his hands. We were both at eye level.

“That is not what’s going on. I didn’t go to see you because you are too obsessed with me. I hurt you because you love me so much… You do nothing halfway and accomodating that is difficult….”

“I don’t know how to love you any other way.”

“I don’t want you to change… I’m scared that you’ll fall apart… because I could leave at any moment… Do you even try to understand what Louis is going through? He knows everything about everyone… And he knows things that he’s scared about… Things he won’t even tell Marcus or me. And Marcus is scared to death that he will have to take you and Louis to En-gannim. We’re all scared because we might never see each other again… We can’t do anything because Marcus is trying to keep his grandfather away until you change so he can be there for both of you. S- Juliet, there are so many things going on… That you having fifty husbands couldn’t make me bat an eye….”

Chris took a breath.

“I just want you to have someone you’re honest with. If you’re honest with me… I don’t care about Michael. But what you’ve turned into the last few months isn’t my Juliet that stalked me for years. Now… tell me the truth. What’s going on?”

I haven’t spoken to anyone in months. Just Charlene, but I didn’t tell her everything. “I’m… in love with Michael… I don’t want to choose… I want all of you… and I love all of you. Yes! I want to marry him. If he was here, I would do it.”

Chris got that cheeky smile. It was always so sincere with the dimples and his plump cheeks. He pulled me into his arms. “We have to know these things… Because… If he is suddenly family, we need to protect him… What else…?”

“I ate a person on the farm… and he was still alive.” Chris frowned, pushing me away so he could see my face. “And Michael did something to control me.” I took a breath and gestured to my mouth. “A plate or something… And I can’t remember. And now he’s not here… He delivered Caleb all by himself. He took care of me and protected me. Went searching for me for hours while I was getting drunk… He asked me to marry him, and I said yes. But I’m never going to see him again… I can’t live like this anymore because I just have a year left. All I have to do is pretend… I’m back… at the compound….”

Chris hugged me even tighter. “Don’t ever change, please… I love you so much like this.” He stroked my hair. “Everything will be okay… I can’t promise when but at one point in the thousand years, we will be alive… We will be happy… Okay?” He tilted up my chin and covered my mouth with his.
