Their Tangled Lust by Catherine Tramell
Kelly
I open my eyes when Elijah suddenly pauses from breathing. He only does that when something deep is bothering him. Business problems don’t get into his nerves. So, I know it has something to do with me.
Allyson. My insecurities refuse to fade after seeing her picture with Elijah. Some of our acquaintances saw my husband taking Allyson to a baby store. I also noticed that the latter held a bag from my favorite lingerie shop. She only earns less than $2000 monthly as my flower arranger. She also has to raise her baby with that salary. There’s no way that woman will spend at least $300 for a set of lingerie.
But I have no reasons to doubt Elijah.
One: It’s against our agreement. We agreed to have our “me” time. During that time, we can do anything we want; no permission needed; no questions asked. For this month, I used my time to find my new slave and visit a friend who introduced me to the BDSM lifestyle. It’s a secret – a sin – I kept from Elijah for almost four years. Initiating an inquiry about what he does with his time might lead to the discovery of my secret.
Two: Elijah has always been honest with me. When I confronted him about the image sent to me, he was calm. No sign of panic or guilt. He explained that Allyson won a gift card for the shop, and they met there when he was buying a gift for me. Elijah needed to buy a christening gift for his friend's child and met Allyson again. What a coincidence, right?
Elijah claimed that Allyson couldn't afford the good-quality baby monitors. So, he offered to buy her one. My jaw clenches as I remember Allyson's face. She's a beautiful young girl. Brown hair, big brown almond-shaped eyes, olive skin. She has high cheekbones that make her look like a foxy Asian beauty. Little Fox.
I believe my husband but not that woman. She has the face of a fox, and I have a feeling she's as cunning as one. Elijah might think it’s a coincidence, but this sly bitch is stalking my husband. I've seen young girls flirt around Elijah, but my husband always ignores them. But Allyson has something those other young girls don't have. She has a baby.
The one thing Elijah wants the most is a child, but I couldn’t give it to him.
On the night of our wedding, my obsessive suitor, Nicholas Aracelli, got mad that I chose Elijah over him. He and his goons ambushed us in a cabin we rented for our honeymoon. There, he raped me before I could give myself to Elijah. That sick asshole made my husband watch me being ravished by him and his men. Worse, he left us alive to live with that nightmare.
Elijah wanted to make him pay for his crime, but I could not – I was afraid to face the embarrassment of being taken by other men before my husband. So, we decided to run away and leave New Orleans. We settled in Houston, and Elijah began to build a life and fortune for the two of us.
But a few weeks after the incident, I found out that I was pregnant. I don’t know who among those rapists fathered the child. I couldn’t bear the shame of letting Elijah raise a child from that nightmare and decided to abort the fetus without his knowledge. The heavens punished me for my sin by giving me a severe complication. One that will bar me from giving Elijah a child forever.
Elijah did not say anything about my decision or my condition. He only remained by my side and promised that I'll be his world. My foolish husband promised not to have a child unless I'm the mother. So, to keep his promise, he had a vasectomy a few years ago, even when I didn't ask him.
My husband could not have a child, but it doesn’t stop him from being obsessed with kids. Elijah will always have a glowing smile every time some kids interact with him. He will have a jealous look on his face every time he sees a father with his kids. And the one thing I hate the most – regret shows on his face when he sees a mother holding a child.
I don't know if Elijah has met Allyson's baby. But he always starts his day by watching videos on how to be a father after Allyson works for me. When I caught him once, he explained that it was an advertising proposal for his Cargo Company. I shrugged the issue off to avoid any misunderstandings between us. I also didn’t want Elijah to feel guilty for wanting something he wished for.
A buzzing energy swarms in my chest when I remember Allyson's child. The baby has the same beautiful gray eyes and blond hair as Elijah. I raise my head to look at my sleeping husband. Suspicion, anger, and disbelief stir all over me. No way. Allyson’s baby is not a year old. Elijah had his vasectomy even before the baby was conceived.
Allyson! That woman is getting on my nerves. How in the world did she have a child who would have looked like Elijah’s son? Has Elijah met the baby? I wonder. Is it why he feels a connection to Allyson?
I roll away from Elijah and carefully take my phone from my drawer. My lips curve into a wicked smile as I enter the secret website for Delilah's, the new, elite BDSM club I discovered. The club is located in Houston. Since it caters to VIPs, it has a good confidentiality reputation. Despite being in my home city, I can be sure that my secret life as a sadist-dominatrix remains a secret – especially from Elijah.
How will he accept that his wife, who was abused by many men, enjoys making other women suffer from the pain? Elijah will be disgusted with it. But with the hefty penalty stipulated in the contract, the management of Delilah's will keep their end of the deal.
But the best thing about Delilah's is Allyson. The bitch is a commercial slave. She probably couldn’t find a Sugar Daddy and realized that Elijah will never want someone like her, so she signed up for this program. After Elijah and I return to Houston, Allyson’s slave agreement will be finalized. She will be my slave for three months. I blow an angry sigh. I’ll make the most of my money’s worth with her and make sure she’ll never want to be near my husband again.
