Saving Sarah (Mafia's Gem)

Chapter One

She turned towards the stairs, obviously missing the smudge of lipstick on the rim of one of the cups, and the black chunky heels that laid carelessly under the sofa and near one of the feet of the coffee table.

Slowly taking off her shoes in order not to give her presence away as she quietly ascended the stairs, Sarah bit her lower lip in anticipation as she got to the landing. The soft music was a bit louder now as she walked through the short hallway towards his bedroom. Her heart was beating fast. What would he do when he saw her? Would he be as excited as she was? She bet he surely would.

The door stood slightly ajar and she could now properly hear the lyrics of the music, it was indeed one of their favorite music during lovemaking. She rolled her eyes; he must really be missing her that bad to be playing this particular song all by himself.

She presumed that since the house was almost too quiet, he would be in the shower humming it while he washed himself. This gave her a perfect idea and she decided that she would strip herself naked and when he came out of the shower, he would find her on his bed. What a splendid way to get eaten!

But her thoughts came to an abrupt halt when she heard low husky voices coming from inside the room.

"Is that the best you got?" It was a female voice. Sarah's smile suddenly vanished now. She was beginning to doubt what she had heard when she saw the ends of a black brassiere on the floor peeking out from the little gap between the door jamb and the door.

"No Darling! I've got a lot more surprises where that came from." She heard Fred give a sultry chuckle.

"Some surprises which you showed Sarah?" The woman spoke again. "You know that I'm more sophisticated than Sarah will ever be, and if you've got more surprises as you claim, it had better be something more exciting and worth it."

"I told you Sarah and I don't do this kind of stuff. She practically freaks out when I even blindfold her." He answered with a hint of distaste in his voice. "She's too jumpy and too fragile and paranoid."

"Really?" The voice feigned surprise. "I totally forgot what a hysteric person Sarah is... She has always been the soft and prudish one; never trying out anything new and always quick to run to her daddy and be a crybaby. Gosh! I still wonder how I tolerated her all these years." The female voice groaned in bitterness and frustration.

"That's why I fell for you instead. I mean, we just connected without even having to try so hard. You are not only willing and adventurous; we practically share the same fantasy and you hold nothing back." He said softly then his words were soon followed by a kissing sound. "We know what we both want and we are just like two sides of a coin and it makes me wonder why I wasn't lucky enough to meet you first."

"Does she know about us yet?" The woman asked in a serious tone now.

"No, not yet. This has to remain our little secret." Fred answered. "I'm ruined if she finds out."

"I'm not some sort of experimental fuck-toy to you, Fred, am I?" She sounded offended and her tone had raised a notch. "Sarah is for the keeps and I'm just for the roll in the hay?! Is that all I am to you, the one who fulfills all your sexual fantasies?!" she asked in indignation.

"C'mon, sweetness" Fred cooed, trying to pacify her and Sarah grew giddy at the mention of that pet name. That name was supposed to be special. He only called her that name. She had her back flattened against the wall, her head cocked towards the opening of the door and she was too shocked to move nor make a sound. "Don't go getting upset on me now and ruining this sweet moment for us." He continued, "It's not that I love her anyway; you know whom my heart beats for. You know why we have to keep this as discreet as possible. Not only is her father is fucking rich, but he has also got all the right connections to the right people and that's what is keeping me going. I have got a lot to lose here if I don't play this game right. I'll lose my exalted position in her father's firm, lose the house in Illinois and the cars, lose the right to be his joint heir and other benefits if I don't end up marrying Sarah." He paused, then added. "And talking about fuck toys, Sarah is the little fuck toy here...not you. My being honest with you should be enough proof that I'm not fooling with you."
