grandmother sounds amazing.”
“She really was. She wouldn’t take any crap from anyone, and I just loved her. My mom wasn’t a big fan.”
“She’d have been your father’s mother, right?”
“Yes. It used to annoy my mom with how often my father saw his parents. They didn’t like her, and they tried to hide it when I was around. I loved my grandmother. When I was with her, she’d make sure my mother stayed away. A lot of my summers were spent with her.” Addison laughed. “There was this one time that my grandmother was visiting my dad, and Mom didn’t have a clue she was there. I’d been put on a diet because she’d caught onto the bullies calling me fat and all that. I was weighed every single week to see if the strict diet was working. I’d put on a couple of pounds, and she was ranting, raving at me. Grandma came out of the kitchen, and she tore a strip off Mom.”
“What did she say?”
“Dorothy, if you say one bad word against that girl, I will make sure the entire world knows where you come from. You can take the trash out of the gutter, but you can’t take the gutter out of the trash.”
“Why would she say that?”
“Mom came from the streets.”
****
Holy shit, Shaun hadn’t known that.
“Seriously, your mother came from the streets?”
“Yep. Dad did some kind of charity work when he met her. One thing led to another, and before they knew what was happening, he’d taken her off the streets. Grandmother said Mom found a meal ticket and worked with it.”
“I bet. It’s something we could use to get her off our backs.”
“You’re thinking of blackmailing my mother?” she asked.
“After the shit she pulled in that interview, I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get her off our backs.”
“Good luck with that. I doubt Mom would even be bothered by it now. It was so long ago.”
Shaun didn’t agree. “She’s a woman who deals with image. It’ll bother her.”
Running his hands up and down her back, he cupped her ass.
“I wished I’d met your grandmother.”
“She’d have liked you, and she’d have made you think you were always doing something wrong, and watch you try to beg for forgiveness.”
“Sounds like a minx to me.”
“She was. Granddad said he always had to keep one eye open. She was a prankster, and always kept him chasing after her. The key to a good marriage is to always keep them guessing was what she’d say. Did you ever meet your grandparents?”
“Not so much. They were always busy building up the empire that is the Woodside.”
“Your father wasn’t much of a business mind. How bad was it when you took over?”
“It was bad.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. It was so bad that I believe if your father knew how bad it actually was, he wouldn’t have let me marry you.”
Addie smiled, cupping his face. “I never thought I’d say this, but I’m so damn glad that we’re married.”
“Good. I love being your husband.”
Lifting her off his lap, he stood, taking her hand, and leading the way toward her bedroom. He flicked the light on, and took her to the center of the bed.
“Lie in the center of the bed, and spread your legs wide. I want to see your pretty pussy.”
He watched her climb onto the bed, and she grew comfortable before opening her thighs.
“Wider.”
She opened her thighs only slightly, and he growled for her to open them even more.
Addie spread her thighs wide, and he stood at the bottom of the bed, staring at her cunt. The light showed how wet she was.
Crawling up the bed, he stroked his hands over her thighs. He started on the outside, working his way inward, and gripping her thighs. She gasped out as he moved further up to land inches from her pussy.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes. I’m fine.”
“Sensitive?”
“A little.”
Smiling, he covered her mound with both of his hands, and opened the lips of her sex. Her clit was swollen and slick with cream. His mouth watered, and all he wanted to do was
