Autum's Lost (A letting go series) (19 page)

“Does douche bag need to be here, I mean he isn’t even family.” My rage comes back looking at Curt.

“He stays!!! And for your information, he is
my
family!!” I look down at the desk and out of the corner of my eye see Michael tilt his head and gives Curt a fuck you smile. Elaine, Todd and Jess come back into the office. Todd stands by the door arms crossed and Elaine sits on the other end of the couch away from Curt. Jess comes over and stands next to me.

“Now, the money Curt. Daytona tells me you owe fifty grand correct?”

Curt sighs heavily and looks at the ceiling. Tapping his foot, he responds flatly. “Yes.”

“How do you intend to pay your dealer? I know for a fact that she isn’t the dealer.”
With that last statement he looks over at her eyes wide.

“What do you mean
, she isn’t the dealer?” I can hear the worry in his voice. I look over at her and she is still looking at the ground.

“Yep Curt, seems you owe someone else the money. Like I just said she is the runner. She just happened to fall in love with you.” Curt’s eyes are big and he is breathing heavy.

“Daytona, look at me.” Worry now evident in his voice “LOOK AT ME!” She jumps at his tone.

“Knock it off Curt!! The dealer will only speak to me. She was summoned here to find out where you were. I know you don’t have the money.”

“How the fuck would you know what I have? HUH? You left the house and shacked up with tool bag over there.” Michael’s face is red as is mine, but it was Todd that spoke.

“Curt
, you need to shut the fuck up right now!” Curt’s face drops and he leans back into the couch. One thing I know about Todd Baxter, he loves his son but will put him in his place in less than a second. Looking over at his son there is pain radiating across his face. “While you were in jail for bashing Addison’s face in, you’re Mom and I heard all about the drugs, the women, the parties throughout the years. Addison deserves happiness. You both lost a daughter.” At that his voice cracks, he shakes his head, clears his throat and continues. “Addison is like a daughter to me and I will not have you disrespecting her in my home. So I advise you to shut your mouth and listen so we can figure this epic cluster fuck out!” Curt is chewing the inside of his mouth, a twitch he has when he is pissed. Finally he looks at his dad.

“Your right Dad
, let’s get this figured out.” Even though the words are calm the tone is anything but. Curt has mastered this fake calm over the years and I know the end result is never good. My stomach drops. He smiles up at his Dad and Todd looks back at me pleased with his son’s fake bargaining. I give him a tight smile and look back at Curt.

“Like I was saying, how are you paying for this Curt?” He tilts his head and smiles like a snake in the grass. I don’t even look over at Michael, I know he is fuming I can feel it.

“You know, Addison, funny you ask about that because I know for a fact that YOU have the money.” He looks at his fingers and plays with his nails for a moment before looking back at me with icy green eyes. “For years your Father has been investing money for you…well actually us since we are still married,” he sneers, looking right at Michael with that last sentence. I walk past Jess and she grabs my arm before I get to Curt. I have had it with his games and bullshit.

“Married!! Are you fucking kidding me Curt? You have no idea what that word means! I fell in love with you, married you, cooked, cleaned and had a child with you!! What did I get in return? Tell me Curt!! This isn’t a hard answer for you, here let me finish this sentence. NOTHING!!!!!” I scream in his face. I am breathing hard and realize that Jess has let go and Michael is at my side holding me back. I relax for a moment and look over at Todd. Slightly shaking my head I look up at Michael and he lets go of my arms. I look over at Curt.
“You are right about one thing, my father has always taken care of me. My whole life that’s why I have the money. Not you though, through everything you just did the bare minimum. I feel bad for your lovely parents.” I look over at Elaine and then over to Todd. “They had no idea what was going on. All the times I brought Auty over here to stay, they were thinking it was so we could have time alone.” I laugh once and look at the floor. “Well they were right about the alone part,” Looking back at Curt I continue. “Unfortunately it was me that was alone. Auty loved them like she loved us, with her whole heart.” Even though the tears are streaming down my face it doesn’t seem to stir anything in Curt’s eyes. I look over at Todd. “I am sorry for this debacle being brought into your home. I will pay Curt’s debt.” He nods yes and smiles a tight smile. I look over at Elaine with her red puffy eyes and tear stained cheeks. “I love you Elaine, and I am very sorry this has happened. I never in a million years thought it would be this way.” With that I look over at Curt and wipe my tears, never taking my eyes off him I talk evenly.

“Daytona.”

“Ye…yes?”

“Call the dealer
and let her know I am paying her today.”

“O...Ok
ay.”

“Also tell her
that if Curt does this again, he will be the only one responsible for the debt.” With that Curt laughs.

“Well Addison, I have to hand it to you. When it comes to drama you pull that off in spades.” Michael grabs my hand and leads me to the door
, Jess following behind me.

“So, that’s it? Addy and Mickey leave with their pet dog behind them.” Before I can grab Jess’s arm she is over in front of Curt and knees him in the balls.

She kneels down next to his ear. “Have a good day pin-dick! RRRUFF!” Standing she walks over to me and we continue to our cars.

I hug Michael as soon as we are in the driveway.

“Meet me at my house, beautiful.” I look into Michaels hazel eyes and can’t read them.

“Ok
ay.” I say softly. He takes my hand and kisses it and walks to his car, gets in it and drives away.

“Is he ok
ay Addy?” Jess comes up behind me.

“I hope so, did you call him?”

“Yeah, I did when asshat showed up. I told him we were here and Curt showed up and the line went dead. The next thing I know Magic is in the office.” I look down at the street and wonder what is up with Michael. The thought that he can’t handle me and Curt at the moment paralyzes me and I just stare down the street.

“Addy, ADDY!” I jump at Jess’s tone

“Yeah…sorry I was lost in thought.”

“Here is the address, Daytona gave it to me when Michael and you were talking.” She hands me the note and I stare at the paper. The address is one that I know very well and the nausea overwhelms me.

“Addy, what’s wrong? You look like shit!” I look up at Jess and shake my head and start laughing. ”You are scaring me, Addison, what’s going on?”

“This address
, my friend!” I hold the paper in front of her and Jess looks at me with confusion. “This fucking address, is the address of one Lexus I-fucked-Addison’s-husband- Winters.” Jess’s face goes flat.

“Are you serious? That makes no sense!! She is the dealer?”

“I have no idea Jess. This is all such a cluster/fuck/debacle ménage à Trois. I just need to go see my Britty and see if I can salvage us.” Jess gives me a hug and takes my face in her hands.

“I know he loves you Addy, there
is no reason to think any different.” I hug her back.

“I will call you soon.”

“Okay, love you babe.”

“Love you.” With that I get in Michael’s car and make the agonizing trek back to his house. So many thoughts of him, and his beautiful smile, his hazel eyes shining when he looks at me.

As I pull into the driveway and park the car, my stomach takes another nose dive. What if this is all too much for him? I walk up the steps. What if he wants time away from this madness? Tears are in my eyes as I open the door, what if….

“Jesus Christ
, Addy!!” Michael’s warm arms circle me and he picks me up. I wrap my legs around his perfectly formed hips. All my worries fade away as he takes my lips and kisses them with the need of a man dying of thirst. He walks us over to the couch and I slide down his front. He sits down and I straddle him.

“You scared the shit out of me today! God
, beautiful!” Michael is shaking and I take my hands and place them on each side of his face. I place my forehead against his and my tears slide down my face.

“Please tell me you want me
, Michael. I know this is all fucked up and I didn’t intend…” He cuts me off with another searing kiss.

“Hush
, Addy,” He lets out a breath that he was holding in. “I got the call from Jess and I just about died. The thought of him doing anything to you again…” He shakes his head and hugs me close. “I will kill him before he hurts you again.” With my head in the crook of his neck I nod yes. “You are my future Addison, my forever and always.” I sit up and look into his eyes.

“I thought that you wanted to take a break from this fucked up situation. I was dying the whole way over here.” At this point my tears are streaming down my face. Kissing my tears, Michael gives me his beautiful soft smile.

“No, my love, I am going nowhere. I wanted to tell you how brave I thought you were with him. He wanted to bring you down like he does all the time, I could see that all over his face. But you, my brave girl, gave him a middle finger like a champ!” I throw my head back and start laughing like a hyena.

“And here I was worried you were going to tell me you wanted me to stay with Jess.”

“NEVER! You are mine, and I protect what is mine. Don’t ever question that, okay my lovely?” Michael kisses me and wipes my tears away with his fingers. I lean into kiss him slowly and his hands grab my ass under my light skirt.

“God Addison, I need you now. I have to be buried in you, to feel you move against me.” A small moan escapes my lips.

“Yesss, please.” With that Michael takes my shirt and pulls it over my head I lay my chest against his and he runs his hands up my back to my bra. He makes quick work of my bra and I slide it off my arms. I grab his green tie and undo it as he nibbles on my neck and rolls my nipples gently with his fingers. I moan louder and the ache in between my legs grows. I undo his shirt one button at a time and spread it out. I pull up his under shirt and start kissing his well-formed abs down to his happy trail. I sit up and undo his belt and sit forward to snake my hands down his dress slacks and grab his hard cock.

“Fuck Addy! Yes.” Michael, in one fell swoop, has his slacks unbuttoned and unzipped. I watch as he closes his eyes while I grab him and work the pre-cum over the top of his cock. I stand and slide my skirt down my legs revealing my satin pink and black polka dot panties with lace trim. Michael pulls his slacks
and boxers off. His hand is now on his cock stroking himself as I grab the waist of my panties and slowly pull them down. Standing back up I look at Michael stroking himself and think that is the hottest thing I have ever seen.

“Step forward beautiful.” I get closer to the edge of the couch and Michael sits up. He takes his fingers and run
s them up and down my slit taking the wetness to my ass. I throw my head back and run my fingers in his hair. Two fingers plunge in me and I pull him closer to my chest breathing heavy; he continues his slow torture of in and out all the while his other hand roaming the valley of my ass.

“I want this right here
, Addy.” Michael’s fingers are in between my cheeks and with the wetness from my pussy he slides one into my tight hole.

“
Fuuuuuck, Michael.” I moan. My body is on fire and he continues his achingly slow assault.

“You are so beautiful when you are aroused Addy. Do you like my finger in your ass? It’s so tight just like your pussy.” He takes a nipple in his mouth and sucks hard then bites down. I grab his hair and moan louder. “Such a naughty girl. MY naughty girl. Tell me I’m yours Addy” I am breathing heavy, my orgasm is building like a wildfire, wanting to consume all of me. “Are you mine
, Addy?”

“Yes…I’m yours. Always yours
, Britty.” With that, Michael sits back and pulls me to him, I straddle him and slam down on his hard cock. I look into his eyes that are dark green with arousal. “You like me fucking this big cock of yours?” I move up and down clenching with every movement. He takes his hands and moves them onto my ass cheeks. Spreading them he fingers my hole. Michael is breathing heavy.

“I will fuck your ass Addy. Not today beautiful, but soon it’s mine, all of you
..
mine!”
His words make me wetter and
I ride him faster as he fingers my hole with the same vigor. I explode on him screaming his name. Michael pulls me closer and I can feel him releasing inside me. Breathlessly Michael whispers, “I love you so much Addison. I will never let you go.” I hug him tighter and I know whatever I was questioning before will never happen.

“I love you so, so much Michael.” He tips my chin up with his fingers.

“I
will
marry you, Addy. I know that it may be too soon for you, but I will. I want you as my wife and there is nothing that will change that fact, no matter what kind of bullshit you are going to have with asshat. I’m here and I’m not going anywhere. Don’t ever question that.” I lean in and kiss Michael with my heart soaring for love of a man that I never knew existed.
