Vows of Deception: Something old, new, borrowed, and BLUE... (14 page)

“Don’t cover up. I have seen it all before anyway.” Sliding the chair back from the dinette table, Mark gestured for Danni to sit on the table.

“Mark, I am too heavy for that table.” She blushed profusely.

“I assure you that nothing but the sturdiest furniture is in this room.” Danni was effortlessly lifted onto the table top. Hissing from the sudden coolness on her backside and heated core. “Lay back, open up, and relax.” Mark demanded. Knowing the kind of positions he has had her in before she was anticipating a serious coochie beat down.

“So thick and appealing.” Mark said huskily never taking his eyes off of her peach.

A blush quickly spread over her body accompanying goose bumps from the coolness of the room. Covering her flushed faced with her hands for a second she looked up to the ceiling. Her legs were pushed further apart with his hands as she heard an appreciative grunt come from deep within him. A shiver sped down her spine feeling his thumb brush across her lower lips. Biting down on her bottom lip to hold back the moan from his touch. Instantly her clit started to harden with no further prodding. Further embarrassed from the appreciative noises coming from Mark.

“Damn you smell so damn good.” Mark leaned in sniffing her inner thighs. The feel of his breath over her center caused Danni to hiss. Automatically she tried to close her legs but failed miserably because of Mark’s strong hold.

Before Danni could imagine his next move, Mark sat down, scooted his chair up to the table, and yanked her body to his. Her legs were placed over his shoulders, thighs braced with his strong hands, and face buried deep into her goodies. Arching her back, Danni could only shriek at the shock of it all. The skills he showcased in the bedroom with his lower half was remarkable but his munching skills were terrific. Although she was so tired of comparing him to Lamont, she couldn’t help herself. Since she’d only had one other sexual partner, that’s all she had to go on. Lamont wasn’t an oral person so to have her toes curling was all too damn new.

“Mmm…Marcus.” Danni moaned feeling so good. Now she was purring his whole name. “What are you doing to me?” She questioned absentmindedly. Mark only chuckled.

“You want me to stop?” He asked lowly. Danni’s head snapped up with irritation clearly written on her face. “I guess not.” He chuckled licking his lips before continuing with a new form of urgency.

His skills were driving her mad. He caused her to buck, clutch her thighs, arch her back, and gasp moan after moan. Before long the shyness she once had evaporated. Making her grab at his head to grind into his face more if she could. After the first orgasm she was damn near in tears. He would alternate between slow, gentle, fast, and rough until she was begging for something. Too bad he only chuckled at her constant pleas because they were not clear at all.

“Cum for me baby.”

“SHIT! Again?” She sighed afraid she may pass out.

“Hummm…” Mark hummed opened mouth against her core causing her to see stars.

“Ahhh!” Lapping up all of her release, he didn’t stop until she was limp against the table.

“So damn good.” He gave her one last smack of the lips loudly. They both laughed a little to that. Danni felt all girly and giggly. “Come on let’s get you cleaned up.”

“I can’t. My legs feel like jello.”

“I’m sorry baby. It was just so damn good. I couldn’t stop.”

“It’s obvious you couldn’t stop. What about you?”

“You complaining? And I will be fine.”

“No.” They worked silently to get themselves together before proceeding to leave the suite. “I feel like such a slut-puppy.”

“Why?”

“I just engaged in a quickie of sorts on my lunch break. In one of the rooms upstairs at that. Never mind that I still didn’t get many answers.”

“I’m a business man Danni. I dabble in a little everything honestly. I dress the way I do most of the time because I don’t think I have to dress the part in order for others to know I’m successful. Is that what you needed answers on?”

“I suppose.” They rode down on the elevator together in silence.

“I will see you at home.” Danni only nodded.

“Perfect timing.” Beverly squealed when they stepped into the lobby. She must have come down on the other elevator. The look the other woman gave Danni should have made her turn to stone it was so harsh. “I am starving shall we eat.”

“Actually I already ate.” Danni choked on the gust of air she sucked in hearing him say that. “Maybe I can summon the room for a small bite. Don’t want to take away from the business we have to discuss.”

“Of course.”

“Thanks for lunch.” He caught up to Danni and whispered lowly. Obviously the other woman caught some snippets from the conversation because she looked at her with so much envy.

“How was your lunch break?” The other attendant asked.

“Fine.”

“I bet. That Mr. Jones is beyond fine. And rich.”

“Rich?”

“Yes honey. I think he is part owner of this hotel. Where have you been? What I wouldn’t give to have just a small piece of him or his fortune?” The woman by the name of Debbie gushed.

“He owns this hotel?”

“Yes amongst other venues I have been told but that’s mainly hearsay. I wouldn’t know. He doesn’t brag about his accomplishments so I guess you wouldn’t know unless he told you for sure. What did you two discuss while on lunch?”

“Oh nothing. He was just welcoming me aboard. It seems we have someone in common we both care about. Just catching up is all.”

“You are lucky. Although he comes in from time to time for business meetings and such, none of the employees have ever had legit conversations with him.”

“Oh.”

Danni went the rest of the day on autopilot not knowing what to make of the new found information. The gossip mill is a place she didn’t frequent often because of how messy the truth could get when it’s passed from person to person. Somehow this rumor made sense though. Mark seemed to be a well-rounded, resourceful man. A vision of her father came to mind. ‘What if I asked him to do a background check on him?’ Danni quickly dismissed that notion. Mainly because it was so unnecessary to have him investigated when she could ask him herself. He gave her the opportunity but she wimped out.

The person she should have been investigating was her no good bastard of an ex. That snake had some serious tricks up his sleeve and now she was stuck taking care of it. Having taken all of her money she was stuck with the little money she received from pawning her wedding rings. She had her two emergency credit cards but she had to use those almost immediately. They ended up being used to pay her cell phone bill, outstanding car note, and insurance. Her job came right on time but if it weren’t for Mark she would have been up the creek without a paddle. Having no rent or utilities to pay was a life saver. Somehow she still felt it was like taking advantage of his kindness.

One thing Danni did decide to go to her dad about was to have a background and credit check done on herself since he had easier access to all of those things. According to everything Lamont had acquired, charged up, and owned was courtesy of her. Credit cards, boutique charge accounts, and an apartment was in her name. She was stumped at quite a few things that weighed her down in the credit department. Another thing that was odd was the amount of tickets that were under her driving record. Certainly she would have recalled getting any traffic violations. Someone was using her name to do plenty of dirt was the only thing Danni could think of.

This whole time she was under the impression that Lamont was the reason she wasn’t getting any call backs for jobs. When all along some of those if not all of them were because there was a crook screwing her royally. Dragging her once tarnish free name into the muddy river and leaving her drowning in a sea of debt. Now the question remains, who? Who would hate her so much as to do something like this to her? Who would have the brains to get away with this amount of sneakiness and not be found out before now? Basically it seems someone was using her identification to acquire nice things and made just enough payments that didn’t require her to be notified. One thing was for sure, when she found out who this person was, she would be pressing charges.

*****

It had been a couple of days since the incident at the hotel. Danni and Mark had been just missing each other due to being weighed down with business issues. The limited things her dad found out on the reports from her background and credit, she made him promise not look any further into it. Being a man of his word he just passed her the information she requested with a simple, ‘I’m here when you need me.’ Her mother on the other hand was kind of peed off about something but wouldn’t say quite what it was just yet.

“Hello Ms. Hunter. It’s nice to see you again.” Her lawyer Mrs. Jones greeted her warmly. It was time to have the first meeting with Lamont and his lawyer. She was not excited in the least bit. When Mrs. Jones’ secretary called to set up a date and time, Danni was a little confused. One because she hadn’t made any payments thus far so why was there any room for an appointment? Two, she didn’t have any money to give to her. She was under the impression nothing else was going to happen until more funds had been put towards the divorce.

“You as well.”

“You don’t seem as excited as I thought you would. Are you having second thoughts?”

“No. No. Hell no. That’s not going to happen.”

“Good because as I stated in the contract, I don’t issue refunds.” Mrs. Jones gave her a pointed look before ushering her to have a seat on her couch. “What’s bothering you?”

“Well for one I was under the impression there would be no further actions taken if the money had not been paid.”

“True.”

“Well I haven’t made any payments.”

“Are you sure?”

“Quite positive. If I did have the means, I would have but I don’t right now.”

“Hold that thought.” Mrs. Jones buzzed her secretary to bring in a report for the payments made towards her representation. “It shows here there was a payment submitted just last week. It was paid in full.”

“I didn’t make that payment. I don’t have that kind of money right now. Plus I haven’t been here since our first meeting.”

“It wasn’t paid in person, it was delivered by a courier service.”

“Maybe it was meant for someone else.”

“No ma’am, your information was written on the cashier’s check. No return address was on it so I placed your receipt inside of your file.”

“Well girl, looks like you have a secret donor once again. Either way, I can’t complain or should you.”

“I hate to put a damper on this mysterious savior but you two have to be at the meeting in ten minutes.” The secretary said with urgency.

“Oh shoot. Let’s go get this under way. Shall we?”

“Sure.” Danni didn’t know who her knight was… The thought that it could be Mark came to mind but she quickly dismissed that idea. Why would he do something like that? It couldn’t be. Could it?

Once they arrived in the conference room at the courthouse. They sat on opposite sides of the table with their litigators ready to get the negotiations on the way. It was hard for Danni to process that they were once a happily married couple. Or so it seemed. She was so blinded by the illusion that she was married to a man who loved her unconditionally. A man who worshipped the ground she walked on. Never bad mouthed her in a demeaning way, just to offer some words of encouragement. In his own way, Danni came to the conclusion he actually believed he had done no wrong. That he was the perfect spouse that he knew how to be. Too bad with this new found understanding of his actions she wasn’t dumb enough to forgive him. But still, she understood him just a little better.

“This should be quite simple as my client is requesting a simple divorce. Monies that were acquired during the marriage should be split down the middle as well as the debt should be taken care of accordingly. Although everything seems to be in my client’s name, it is only fair that your client takes part of the responsibility.” Lamont and his lawyer shared a few words amongst themselves before the other woman glared at Danni. From the looks she had been receiving from her since they came in it was evident he was sleeping with her as well.

“Although it may seem fair to share responsibility of the bills but Mrs. Graves didn’t see that as a factor when she tried to unlawfully extract my client from the premises. Because of that inconvenience Mr. Graves was forced to get a storage for his belongings for fear of his estranged wife destroying some of his other things during one of her drunken nights. My client is under the impression she was attempting to move in the man she had been having an affair with.”

“An affair? That’s bullshit and you know it. You lying, sneaky son-of-a-bitch. I have never cheated on you.”

“Danielle.” Mrs. Jones tried to calm her client. They had gotten the desired rise out of her already making her look like the bad person in this.

“Against my advice, my client has requested to attend counseling sessions. Her erratic behavior may be associated with her abuse of alcohol. He is concerned for his wife and her unpredictable behavior. It’s obvious she needs some kind of psychiatric help. She may be a threat to herself and others if not addressed.”
