“You should have called me,” she said. “If he gets angry that we are open, we might all lose our jobs.”
“I don’t think he’s that type of person,” I said, and she glared at me. I had never seen Sarah angry before, and it made me shrink back.
“You don’t work here that often,” she said. “You don’t know what type of person he is.”
“I know…” I said. “But...he just didn’t seem like that type.”
“Call me next time,” she said and headed to the backroom. I felt like she took any chance of friendship with her. I sighed and counted down the hours until my shift was done. I was only there for three hours, and I knew that Matthew would be out when I got home.
As soon as the clock hit noon, I raced out of there. I didn’t have a smartphone, so I had to go home to use the laptop. I was eager to look up this Jacob and see what he was all about.
It didn’t take long to find many details about him online. Jacob had been raised with the five other brothers who owned the Ursa ranch locations. However, a few years ago, he found out he was adopted and that he was a triplet. It seemed he and his new blood brothers had a fantastic reunion, and they now all ran this location together.
I thought that was such an interesting story. I didn’t know how I would react if I found I was secretly adopted and had two other siblings that had shared the womb with me.
I found a publicity photo of the three of them together and sucked in a breath. They looked just as handsome as I remembered them.
“Damn,” I said, as I looked over their muscles underneath their shirts. Matthew was lean muscle, and while I found that attractive enough at the time, it made me want to vomit now. These three burly men were an entirely different story.
I briefly fantasized about what it would be like to be with them. I knew it would never happen, but a girl could dream, especially if she wasn’t getting any at home. I had never had a threesome before, or anything close to a threesome, so it wasn’t like I knew what I was talking about. I suppose if I had all of them, it would be a foursome.
I didn’t think I wanted that. I was someone who paid a lot of attention to detail, so what I probably wanted was each of them individually.
I heard the key in the lock and jumped. I didn’t realize Matthew would be home so soon.
I rushed to delete my browsing history and shut down the computer before he came in. It wasn’t that I wasn’t allowed on the computer, but he could always tell when I was doing something I wasn’t supposed to. He had a long list of rules that I was supposed to follow. I couldn’t have my own bank account, I couldn't have any social media, and I couldn’t email anyone from my old life. He said it was to keep me safe, but I was well past thinking that. He wanted to keep me prisoner, and he was succeeding.
“What are you doing?” he asked when he came into the bedroom. I shook my head.
“Nothing,” I said. “Just napping after work. How was your day?”
He gave me a long stare.
“It was fine,” he said, and then headed into the kitchen. I breathed a sigh of relief. Today, I was safe from Matthew's rage. How much longer would that last?
I took Jacob’s card out and slipped it under the mattress. I was pretty sure Matthew would never look there because he never changed the sheets. That, like everything else, was my job. I just hoped he didn’t have a change of heart on that, or I would be sunk for good.
Chapter Six
Frances
I woke up with a start. This was not the first time I had dreamed about Jenny. For the past three nights, I had. Each time, though, I had dreamed about her in a new and sexy way. Each night, we tried a new position, or we had a new exploit in public. I dreamed of fucking her behind the cabin, or in plain view in the front of it. Of course, I had done things like that with women, but I never had dreamt about it.
I don’t know why I kept dreaming about her like that. I normally
