After that day Tony hasn't exactly stepped foot at the manor and for that, I'm extremely grateful. He has been placing calls about a million times a day to me for Michael- that boy has his father already wrapped around his baby finger- and each time he tries to make the call personal and apologize, I hang up. Yes, I know I won't be able to do it for much longer, there's only so much he'd take, and one of these days I'd have to take the bull by the horns.
He said something about coming to see him today and that was the only reason why Harry didn't take him to work today, to think I need permission to keep my son.
I was in the playroom with Michael when the doorbell rang, I stood to answer the door and Michael trailed behind me singing all the way. Tony stepped in and Michael immediately ran to him.
"Daddy!!!"
I was going to close the door when someone pushed me aside.
"Didn't you see me coming in?"
She looked me up and down and I swear if she doesn't stop with the condensation she was going to get bitch slapped.
"Who are you?"
"Eugenia, Tony's sister."
I raised an eyebrow at Tony, who did this guy think he was?
"Oh. Tony, I don't remember any relations agreed in our little agreement."
"Yeah, she insisted on coming."
Okay then, I guess I could bear one rude sister for a couple of hours.
We sat in the sunroom and chatted away, well more like they chatted away because Eugenia kept making snide remarks like "... you should stop eating cake, it's starting to show..." and "... is that a wrinkle I see? Are you forty?"
I decided that I have had just about enough and after sending Michael on an impossible mission to my room to fetch my keys that I had hidden behind me, I reckoned it was time to send them on their way.
"Eugenia, Tony, you little fucktards have overstayed your welcome. Get out!!!"
Eugenia opened her mouth as her hand flew to her neck while Tony looked like he had been expecting it.
"You have no manners."
"You don't either, now get off my couch and get the fuck out!!"
"That is no way to treat a true Lady!"
Oh really?!
"I think I have an idea on how to treat a lady, how would you like the dogs to see you out?"
She looked at me in shock but I think she must have realized that this wasn't my joker face because she sprung to her feet and was out the door leaving her brother behind.
"Amanda..."
"I don't ever want to see your face in this house or anywhere around MY son again, if you feel like you can do a better job you can argue that in court. Now get out!!!"
He stood for a few seconds before turning on his heel and following his sister out the door.
All things considered, that went well.
Honestly, it didn't.
...
The affairs of yesterday must have worn me out because immediately after dinner I was out like a light, I even had to leave Michael's bath to a maid. Something I've never done.
My phone beeped again, this was the tenth time this morning alone and about the hundredth since last night. I sluggishly opened my eyes and they immediately connected to the clock opposite my bed, it read past nine, it was time to get up anyway.
I picked up the offensive device and read through my texts, all were from Tony. Well, the guy truly was sorry if he left over a hundred messages and voice notes. Oh well, let him beat himself up, he deserves it.
It was Michael's birthday in a week and of course, Harry wants the best for his great-grandson and that's why we have the best of the best event planners running around the manor with Harry overseeing progress.
You don't want to get my grandpa upset. You don't. For a man his age, he was a force to be reckoned with when angry.
I did my morning routine and saw to Michael's before we both made our way to the dining room, the table was already set and Harry sat waiting patiently for our arrival and as per usual, Michael ran to his great-grandpa and forgot about me.
"Good morning princess."
"Good morning grandpa, sleep well?"
He nodded, we started on breakfast and just as we were rounding up, the butler came in with a bouquet of red and white roses followed by about 10 other house helps with their hands filled with flowers. I gasped as Mr. Jeremiah handed me his bouquet and I smelt it.
It smelt wonderful, On the card was writing I didn't recognize but the wordings and the single letter showed that it was Tony, it read "... I'm sorry, let's talk..."
Leave it to Tony to make an apology and still appear arrogant even on paper.
"Oohhh, someone likes your Mommy, Michael."
"Really?"
"Yes, he even sends her flowers."
"Who is he?"
Harry whispered a name in his ear, now I don't know what he told him but I got teased the rest of the day.
It was finally Michael's birthday and he was hyped. He kept running around looking at all the people coming in, looking at all the presents and of course the cake. Tormenting the organizers.
I decided that this was a kid's day and there was honestly no need for me to go all out so I settled on a baby pink knee-length gown with thin straps and a little v in the front, showing just a little bit of cleavage and a pair of nude heels. I put my hair up in a high and loose bun on my head. Just as I was about to wear my accessories, Mr. Jeremiah came in and handed me a jewelry box, and left before I could even say thank you. I guess that settled that then.
The necklace was a simple sapphire drop choker with drops of the black diamond all around the necklace, and the earrings were just simple black diamond earrings. Harry always goes all the way for me, this must be very expensive!!!
Anyway, the party was already in full swing. The kids were having crazy fun while the adults stood to a side bonding or making business deals, Tony arrived some moments later and looked surprised for a second before hugging me. I had to hug him back because well, every other person in here had their eyes on us but the hug feltgood too.
I know he wants to talk and that's why I have been avoiding him like a plague. I went up to Harry's private library with a bottle of wine, I closed the door and lay down on the day bed after taking my heels off and placed my arms behind my head. I drifted off to a peaceful place where everything went my way and where I didn't have a shitty father or the most infuriating stepfamily ever.
I didn't hear the door open or close so you can imagine my shock when I felt a pair of hands on my legs, I started and opened my eyes to meet Tony's.
"Relax, it's just me."
"Was that supposed to be comforting?"
He just sighed and shook his head at me. He sat on the daybed with my legs in his laps and began to give me a foot rub, I moaned loud and he chuckled, his hands felt so good.
"I see you wore the necklace."
"You bought this?"
"Yeah, and I left strict instructions not to tell you I sent it although I thought for a second that you might suspect it. Imagine my surprise when I saw it around your neck, you look great by the way."
"Thanks. Why would you buy me a necklace."
"Maybe because I just wanted to or maybe because I wanted to thank you for giving me Michael or... just maybe because I wanted a fresh start with you."
Immediately those words reached my ears, I tried to move my legs from his thighs to the floor but his hold on my legs only tightened.
"No, stay. I didn't mean to scare you. I guess I just want to be honest with you and myself too, I want you to be more than just Michael's mother. I want you to be mine too."
I stared at him like who the hell was this man?
I mean, yeah I can't deny that I'm attracted to him more than just a little but do I want to go down that road with him?
Why can't I go down that road?
I mean he's hot and all and can be a real gentleman when he wants to be but he can also be a real sweetheart like right now.
"I don't know..."
"I'll throw in free leg massages every day"
I laughed and hit his chest playfully.
"I'm still not sure..."
"Let me convince you then."
One second my legs were in his lap and the next minute one of my legs was in the air and my toes in his mouth. For some reason, that was arousing.
"Fuck..."
He continued his sweet torture on my toes, going from one foot to the other, and then he began to kiss up my leg up to my knee.
He moved over me, between my legs, and began to kiss me. His tongue explored my mouth and I could have sworn I was floating with the stars. He kissed down my neck and began sucking on the spot between my jaw and my neck and then he bit down on it hard and began to trace the bite mark with his tongue and sucked on it again.
"Ahh... Tony..."
Tony tore my straps off and pushed my gown down exposing my bare boobs as I had decided to go without a bra today. He teased my areola with his tongue before taking my nipple in his mouth and suckling hard then slow, teasing me.
"Just fuck me already, I'm not sure how much longer I can take this."
"Your wish is my command, my Lady."
He quickly disposed of his tee-shirt and belt and unzipped his jeans while I pulled up my gown, none of us had any time to properly undress. He ripped my panties off and threw them over his shoulder and he was in me in one thrust.
"Oh my... ah!!!"
"Fuck... Amanda!!!"
And then he began to move long and deep and then hard and fast. We were both a mess, I could feel the pressure building in my lower abdomen and then the unexpected happened. A tiny knock sounded at the door.
"Mommy, are you in there?"
"Oh, shit..."
My eyes widened and I tried getting out from under him but he wrapped his arms under me and began moving slower.
"Our son is at the door, what... are you... fuck... doing?"
"I can't stop even if I wanted to and I don't."
"What about Michael?"
"He wants to speak to his mother, answer him."
Yes, honey. I'm in here... ah... is there... mmm... a problem?"
"No Mommy, just trying to find you."
Tony thrust in deep, angled his hips, and began to grind into my hips, hitting my g spot each time. My eyes widened and I put a hand over my mouth to muffle my loud moans and also began moving my hips. He pulled out and thrust back in hard and a treacherous moan escaped from my mouth.
"Fuck yes!!!"
"Are you okay Mommy?"
"Yes love, Mommy's just really.... really... yes ah... busy right now okay?"
"Okay"
"Go to your room honey, I'll be there."
I heard his little feet hit the ground as he ran up to his room, thankfully.
"You're crazy, you know that?"
"Yes, crazy for you."
He raised his hand above my head and gripped the other end of the bed and began to move faster, my insides were coiled like a spring and soon enough I was let loose and Tony wasn't far behind.
We both stayed that way trying to catch our breaths, with Tony on me.
"So I guess that's a yes?"
"Yes"
The least I could do was give this a try.
