for it. I will make sure of it. I have dinner with him on Thursday.’
    ‘Is that when it’s going to happen?’
    ‘Yes. It is.’
    ‘I want to be there.’
    ‘I know darling. And that is why I’m telling you. You will be. I’ll have my driver pick you up.
    ‘Great.’
    ‘Are you up for it?’
    ‘No. But I want to see the fear in his eyes when he realises.’
    ‘And you will my love. You will.’
    She turned forward and sat with her thoughts. Once they arrived back to her house he took her by the hand and led her up the stairs.
    ‘Wait.’ She took a step back. ‘I’ve got to get a drink. I’m sorry.’
    ‘That’s fine. I’ll wait right here.’
    She smiled. Headed back downstairs and to the kitchen cupboard that housed the alcohol. The vodka was down her throat in no time. The thought of rehab a mile away. The immediate effect of the alcohol was all that mattered to her. Once Freya was satisfied she headed upstairs to join him.
    ‘Come here,’ he held out his hand sat on the bed.
    Instead of responding immediately she began to strip off her clothes.
    ‘Hmm, that’s nice.’
    She bit her lower lip as she lowered the trousers and finally the shirt. Freya stood in her panty and bra.

‘You look so sexy. I want to eat you up, now come here.’
    She walked towards him and was in his arms. They fell back into the bed and he began to ravish her body. Freya was taken in by his amazing touch. She loved the way his lips explored her neck. She loved the way he smelled and the way he continued to reassure her that he would never hurt her.
    A moment later she pulled away.
    ‘What’s the matter?’ he asked concerned.
    ‘I love you,’ she smiled.
    ‘I love too, now let’s finish what we started.’ He pulled her back and she giggled as she enjoyed the way he continued to explore her body.
    He was gentle at first but as things began to heat up he became a little more demanding. It didn’t startle her because she knew he wouldn’t hurt her. Within moments they were soon united and all the things that had been on their minds had been long forgotten. Her life felt different when she was in his arms. She didn’t feel like she had to be anyone but herself. Their bodies reached a high before coming back down.
    ‘Oh yes! God yes,’ she let out at the end of it. ‘That was awesome.’ She fell back into the bed.
    ‘It was indeed.’ He too was out of breath and lay into the bed. ‘We’re going to have a wonderful time together,’ he said.
    She turned to him and looked at him. For a moment he kept his gaze on the ceiling, but then turned to meet her eyes.
    ‘I think we are!’ she smiled. ‘I think I need a drink.’ She shot up suddenly.
    ‘You wait right here and I’ll get you one.’ He kissed her cheek. ‘Love you.’
    ‘Love you too.’ He left her.
    Chapter Ten
    Lewis left the office a little earlier than usual to get ready for his big meeting. He was excited and couldn’t wait to close a big deal. He drove home deep in thought. He’d also taken the time to find out more about Mr. Banks. The more he found out the more excited he was about selling him the most expensive cars.
    He arrived home to his wonderful wife and kids. He gave her a kiss and let the kids know he wouldn’t be around to put them to bed.
    ‘But why daddy?’ asked one of the twins.
    ‘Because daddy’s got work to do, but I will make it up to you. If daddy can sell a car, he’ll buy you that game you wanted.’
    ‘You will!’ he squealed.
    ‘Absolutely.’
    ‘What about me?’ asked the other twin.
    ‘I will get you whatever you want.’
    ‘Even a unicorn?’
    ‘Sorry darling, I can’t get that.’ He took him into his arms and gave her a kiss. ‘You know I can’t, you silly pumpkin.’ He tickled him.
    ‘Yes you can,’ he giggled.
    ‘No I can’t.’
    ‘Okay, come on. Let daddy get ready for his important meeting,’ said his wife as she took them away.
    ‘Thanks honey. I’ll just jump into the
