Free Forever Mine Box Set (BWWM, African American, Interracial,and Multicultural) by Erica Storm

spot. Like a girl who had been caught by her parents making love to her teenage boyfriend on their expensive new couch.
    “We will have two Crown Royals on the rocks.”
    “And nothing for him?” I shot back. “I’m ordering for Matt.”
    Looking at Matthew I said, “Since when have you turned into her lap dog?” And I stepped away holding back tears.
    When I made it to the bar and after turning in the order, I felt Matthew standing behind me. He reached for my arm leading me into the hall.
    “What are you doing here?” he asked.
    “Don’t ask me what I’m doing here. I’m working.”
    “You don’t have to work. Come home,” he whispered in my ear.
    “If I was thinking about going back to you, you fucked that up by being with that cow.”
    “Why are you talking that way, and where are you staying? I text you and asked you several times to give me your address...” I interrupted.
    “So you can know where I am at all times, and you don’t have to tell me what you’re doing with Alecia at this hotel.” He held my hands pressing his body next to me. His nearness is overpowering. His breathing intense, and I feel his penis throb against my leg under my short skimpy ruffle skirt.
    It was theme night once a month and tonight’s theme was Paris. Edith’s Pilafs music was piped in and playing throughout the hotel corridors.
    “I miss you so much. I want you in bed with me. I want to see you when I wake in the morning and when I go to bed at night,” he said to me.
    “Are you sure you are talking to the right person because it appears you are with her. From what I see, you want it all, but you can’t have it all.
    “You couldn’t have me when I turned eighteen because you were married. I knew when I sat on your lap and you had pre-come dripping from my dress, which I could have given myself to you and you would have welcomed it, but you knew, and I knew it was wrong, and now you’re no longer with her, you were supposed to be devoted to me, but you are still carrying on a relationship with Alecia. Is it because you two have an unspeakable connection that I know nothing about?”
    “You don’t understand, Amanda,” I look up and the bartender is hailing me with a raised arm.
    “Your drinks are ready, and if you don’t leave me, I can lose my job. And if you cause me to lose my job, just when I’m trying to become a woman, and depend on myself and not you like a child, I will never forgive you.” I walk away from him with my heart broken. I brought the drinks to the table and Alecia and Matthew were gone. On the table under a small chandelier like light set five hundred dollars and a note on a napkin.
    Baby,
    If you need anything, I’m here for you. Please call me.
    I love you,
    Matthew

    I made it through my shift and woke the next morning upset. I was too tired and too saddened the night before to be able to function. I just dropped in bed in the small office and stayed there, but when I woke, I lumbered into Seth’s bedroom. It was airy with large bay windows and one window overlooking the bay. It was the first time I ventured in there. We usually sat around and played video games when we weren’t working or going to school in the living area which housed a television, a sofa and four chairs, a table, and a computer.
    “Seth,” I called out. He turned over in bed, mumbled something and held on tight to his pillow. He was still in dream land and I hated to bring him back to reality.
    “What? What are you doing sitting there? What time is it?” he asked. “It’s dark,” he ran his hands over his eyes removing his blindfold. “That’s better” he took a deep breath. “I thought it was the middle of the night. I guess I can get up now.” He stretches and looks at me with narrow eyes raking his hands through his long blond hair. “Have you made coffee? You know I’m a bitch without my coffee.”
    “I’ll make some,” I said and I stood up teary eyed, and he pulled me back to
