me.
    “Move up on your knees and spread yourself open.”
    I did what I was told as he grabbed my hips and
pulled me towards him, in and out, in and out. Drew picked up speed and vigor,
hissing and moaning as he fucked me. I knew it was just a matter of time. He
slid out of me, pulled me to the floor by my arm and stroked himself on my
lips. Jerking himself to come, he moved me back to the bed, slid into my pussy
and pumped ferociously in an out, trying to make himself come. As soon as he
felt the sensation again, he pushed me back to my knees and I swallowed him.
    “Drew,” I called before he closed the door, leaving
me alone.
    He turned to me with regret already showing in his
eyes.
    “I never put you on a pedestal,” I quietly said,
lowering my eyes from his just like I would have before my accident, when he
treated me like my father treated his mother.

    “Marta, please don’t do this. I need you here.
Nicholas loves you. I don’t trust him with anyone else,” I begged as Marta
packed up the last of her things.
    “Look in the mirror, Morgan. I’m not going to stand
around here and watch this anymore. You need to get away from him before he
really hurts you. I’ll help you. Please, Morgan. Get out of this house,” she
begged right back.
    “I’m not going to leave him, Marta. I can’t. Not
right now.”
    Marta turned her attention back to her packing with
a sad look. “I’m going to read about your death in the paper,” she sadly spoke,
walking past me and right out of my life.
    I knew Drew was watching from his office. He never
came out to stop her. He just let her go. Now what was I supposed to do? It
wasn’t like I couldn’t take care of Nicholas myself. I could, but it was still
nice having someone there to do the cooking and take him when I needed a moment
of me time.
    “Why is Celeste working downtown this week?” Alicia
asked as soon as I answered my phone.
    “I don’t know. Ask her.”
    “I did. She said Drew told her not to come to the
house. Why can’t she come to the house? Something’s going on. I can tell. Are
you okay?”
    “Yes, I’m fine.”
    “Leave Nicholas with Marta for a little bit. Let’s
go get some lunch or something.”
    “I can’t today.”
    “Why? What are you doing?”
    “Marta is taking a couple days off, and Nicholas is
teething. He’s so fussy right now. I want to stay home. We’ll do something
later on in the week.”
    “Give him a freezer pop. You know the ones in the
plastic wrappers? Let him chew on that. That’s what we did for Vincent.”
    “Okay, I’ll try that. I’ll call you later. He’s
crying,” I lied.
    “Okay, but hurry up. I’m bored.”
    I didn’t really lie. As soon as I hung up, I heard
the baby monitor come alive. I walked upstairs and to his room. After changing
him we sat in the rocker as I gave him a bottle and rocked him back and forth,
contemplating my life. Drew had been distant since his episode the day before.
He didn’t even sleep in our room, just like old times, he left me alone.
    Nicholas sat up after his bottle, and played with
the black sea glass necklace around my neck. Pulling his clasped little fingers
away from the delicate chain, I sat him on the floor and turned to get him some
toys. I sucked in an audible breath when I turned back to him on all fours.
    “What are you doing, big guy?” I smiled. “Drew, come
in here,” I called, knowing he was watching us. He always watched us.
    Sitting on the floor, I placed the red truck away from
him, encouraging him to crawl to it. I looked up through the slit in my eye to
see Drew. He squatted behind me as I leaned into him, wanting things to be
okay.
    “Come here, baby,” I coaxed.
    “He’s doing it,” Drew exclaimed, excited when Nicky
moved towards us with a giggly squeal. It took him a little bit to figure it
out, but he did it. He crawled the three feet to us, reaching his prize that
instantly went to his mouth.
    I turned to smile at Drew
