***
The United States. New York. It’s about eleven o'clock. For the past three days, Edward has just been talking in those places where there are almost no people or locked himself at home and stayed there all day long, wishing to talk to nobody and not to share what he is worried about. But today the man went to visit his friend Christopher. It goes without saying, Morgan is glad to see the one he knows as Justin Ledger, but he was not ready for his visit. And to the happiness of Edward, this man does not know about the situation in the MacClife family. He does not know anything about his friend, who belongs to that family. Though, MacClife, Jr., understands that he will have to reveal his real side early or late. “Honestly, I didn’t expect your visit,” Christopher confesses after greeting Edward by shaking him by the hand, hugging him amicably, and letting him in the apartment. “Hm…” Edward frowns slightly and crosses his arms over his chest. “So, you aren’t happy to see me?” “No, no, not at all!” Christopher quickly closes the door and goes to the living room with Edward. “I’m really glad you came. But you could call me and ask me if you could come. What if I was gonna leave. Or I was here with a girl.” “Is there someone here?” “No, now. So, you’re very lucky.” “Lucky in just something.” “I hope we will talk well this time.” “Yeah…” Edward pronounces in a low voice, fixing slightly his brown wig that he put on as well as brown lenses. “I’d like to talk to someone… Everybody’s been too busy lately and hasn’t been able to find time to talk to me, at least for two minutes.” By this moment, Christopher and Edward come to the living room, where a small, thin TV is working at a low volume, and sit on the sofa next to each other. “You’re kind of too depressed, Justin,” Christopher frowns slightly. “Even more depressed than the last time.” “I can’t deny it,” Edward replies quietly. “So much has lately happened…” “Don’t you wanna tell?” “A long story. But everything got much worse in my life.” “Sorry. But aren’t ya gonna drink as hell and start an affray at a bar, just like you did it the last time?” “You know, Chris…” Edward pronounces thoughtfully, scratching the back of his head. “It would be great… Let’s go somewhere and drink one glass? Something strong! To become fucking high!” “Yeah, and then will I have to take you home? Wake you up, and break my back when trying to carry your body to the bed after you puke and pass out? No, guy, don’t even hope! I’m no longer gonna do that! And I will not let you do what you did the last time.” “Oh, okay, okay,” Edward raises his hands in front of himself without emotions on his face. “Don’t get excited. I just said I wouldn’t mind.” “When you’re able to control yourself, we will talk about drinking.” “I got it, don’t continue.” Edward exhales sharply, running his hands over his face. “Actually, I came to you for one thing. Wanna ask you something and hope you will help me.” “Sorry, dude, but I have no familiar girls, who I could introduce to you,” Christopher throws his hands with a slight smile. “If you wanna have sex with a dolly, you’ve gotta find a cutie by yourself.” “Huh!” Edward chuckles quietly and runs his hand over his hair. “Calm down! I don’t need your girls. And I don’t panic from thinking I have nobody to fuck.” “Okay. Tell me what you wanna know and then explain why you mind a chance to meet girls and fuck a cutie.” “Oh, Chris…” Edward moans quietly. “Speak out, why you came.” “Okay… Listen, Morgan, I’d like to ask you… Could you find me some housing and a job? A cheap apartment to rent and a place where I could earn something not to die from hunger.” “A housing and a job?” Christopher looks at Edward surprisingly and frowns slightly. “But why do you need it? Do you wanna start living on your own?” “Sort of. Somehow you helped me with a job, and I’m grateful to you for that. And now I’m asking you about the same thing again.” “Well…” Christopher starts stroking his chin. “As for housing, I can suggest you move into my bachelor home… You can live with me for some time before I find someone to rent off an apartment…” “Thanks, but I’d like to live alone. I don’t wanna burden anyone.” “You wouldn’t bother me. Vice versa, I’d have much fun. I’d have someone to watch soccer, hockey, and basketball on the TV with. Turn pages of a fresh issue of Playboy, watch porno… My apartment is small, but there’s enough place for the two.” “We could do all of that without moving. When you want, you can call me, so I can make a company for you.” “Well, okay… As you want…” “I wanna live in a cheap rented apartment. And have a permanent job to pay for that and spend money on what I need.” “As for a job, I need to think a little ‘cause I can say nothing now. I should ask my friends and familiar people…” “Maybe, some employers are required at your work?” “Nope, all the vacancies are kind of taken. But if they’re free, someone takes them quickly.” “I agree for any kind of job,” Edward makes sure with some despair. “A seller, a waiter, a delivery guy… I even agree to wash dirty toilets. But please, find a job for me. I need any money to pay for the rent of an apartment or a room and buy food and everything I need.” “So… I shall think about it and ask my familiar people. If there’s an offer, I’ll let you know.” “Anything, Chris, I can’t be picky now and do agree to anything just to start earning money and living by myself.” “I get it,” Christopher pronounces thoughtfully. “Wanna become a real man that depends on nobody?” “The case is not my independence,” Edward replies thoughtfully, scratching the back of his head. “I just wanna change something. I’ve been on a volcano all my life, but now I wanna live quietly. I’ve experienced too many adventures. Enough ‘till my death day.” “Hey, I hope, aren’t ya gonna become something like a vegetable that’s gonna be lying on the bed and splitting at the ceiling all day?” Christopher frowns slightly and crosses his arms over his chest. “No, Chris, I’m not gonna become a vegetable,” Edward replies quietly. “I just wanna live alone. Want to start earning something, not to jump from one flower to another, having only one-sided jobs. It’s time to end it!” “As if you didn’t live as you wanted.” “I didn’t really live as I wanted.” Edward sets his dead eyes aside. “But now I wanna change everything in my life.” “Listen, dude, don’t worry about the breakup with the girl if you’re restless because of her,” Christopher says cheerfully, clapping Edward on the shoulder. “There are many beautiful girls that could make you happy! Or those, who you could have fun with… Sleep… Flirt…” “I did say I did not need other girls. I need only one.” “Fuck, stop being stuck on the girl, who betrayed you. I completely understand your feelings, but since she betrayed you, give a fuck about her and live your life.” “It’s not the truth,” Edward says quietly. “As it turned out, she didn’t betray me.” “What?” Christopher rounds his eyes. “Didn’t betray? But you said she cheated on you!” “I had thought so before she told me everything,” Edward confesses gloomily in a low voice. “Everything is much harder than I imagined.” “What do you wanna say?” “I wanna say someone had me wrapped around a finger. They made me believe in what never happened.” “Hey, hey, wait, Jus, wait.” Christopher shakes his head sharply, gets straight quickly, and sets his confused gaze on Edward. “Wait, I understand nothing! Let’s talk about everything in order. At first, you said she betrayed you, and you left her ‘cause you didn’t wanna be with the betrayer. But now what, I don't understand?” “The case is that, Chris, someone mocked that girl cruelly,” Edward replies tiredly. “And then some bastards used the situation and framed her, making me believe in what I believed for one month.” “Excuse me, but I don’t understand you. How did someone mock that girl? Who framed her? Why? How? Explain everything the fuck well!” “It’s too hard to explain,” Edward replies in a depressed voice. “And it’s disgusting for me to think about it… But I can say one thing. I started to understand I did a very bad thing to her and can’t be with her anymore.” “So, okay, buddy, tell me about everything in order. First, tell me, did that girl cheat on you or not?” “No, she didn’t cheat on me,” Edward replies in a low voice, shaking his head. “And she hardly wanted.” “Okay. And now tell me, how did you know that?” “I do say, she told me that!” Edward replies loudly and excitedly. “That girl told me all the truth!” “Quiet, quiet, buddy, don’t be so nervous,” Christopher says softly. “Speak quietly and slowly.” “I am quiet. I’m just telling you the truth. I recently decided to talk to her again and try to find out why she left me. And that girl told me everything. Yes, I had to make many efforts to convince her to tell me everything. But luckily, I found out the reason.” “And what’s the reason?” “A personal one. But that situation was shown so that it seemed she cheated on me with that hairy gorilla that I told you about.” “So, was there not a betrayer? Someone just framed that girl?” “Yes, true!” “Yes!” Christopher clicks his fingers with a wide smile. “I did know something wasn’t right about this story! She could not react to the charges of cheating like that. If that girl had wanted to leave you, she would’ve gotten out a long time ago. I mean, if you had, for example, money, and a lot of houses, cars, steamboats, and other shit, I could think better.” “Maybe…” Edward shrugs. “But I’m not rich. I don’t even have my own home. Not only money and a car.” “Hey, why did ya decide to talk to Emily, or what’s the name of your girlfriend?” “Her friend pushed me to that talk. She knew what happened well, but didn’t tell me that. She wanted Emily to tell me everything. But I won’t deny that I started to think about it much earlier, when the people began to say that something wasn’t right about that story literally at the same time. Including you. I thought about it, but didn’t wanna believe it was the truth. But… The talk with her friend pushed me to do it.” “Not gonna judge you, but you could think about it without someone’s kicks on your ass. I completely understand your feelings, and I got over that. Jealousy is a disgusting thing, I can’t deny it. But even at this moment, you should control yourself and keep your mind cold.” “You don’t understand.” Edward doubles over and leans on his laps with his elbows. “When you really fall in love, you’ll start saying different things. When you start to fret because someone dares to attempt on what belongs to you. When you start to think your beloved person doesn’t appreciate you and does stay with you for their goal.” “Well, if it’s so, are you sure everything is really over?” “Sadly. Even though I still madly love her.” “But if you love her so much, why are you running away from your feelings?” “Because I’m afraid to give her pain again,” Edward replies in a low, depressed voice. “She deserves much more than she has. And I’m madly ashamed of all the insults and humiliations that she heard from me.” “Are you ready to give up so easily?” Christopher rounds his eyes. “If you love and want to be with that girl, fight for her ‘till the end.” “No, Morgan, it’s excluded.” “Why?” “Because I hurt her!” “Let’s talk about it soberly, buddy. You aren’t the only one to be guilty of your breakup. Emily is not holy, either. I’m sure your friend knew that it would lead to your breakup if she hid the truth from you. And she probably understands it.” “There’s only my fault for that. I should’ve understood that something wasn’t right. I shouldn’t have dared to doubt her loyalty. But instead, I showed the worst side of myself and started to insult and humiliate her shamelessly. Tell everyone she was a nasty slut that got lots of men or a nymphomaniac that couldn’t get enough sex.” “She should’ve expected that reaction. If that girl had told you the truth earlier and proved she didn’t cheat, nothing would’ve happened.” “Don’t blame her, dude, that girl is guilty of nothing. She’s a victim of the situation that she got into against her wish.” “At least that’s cool she confessed everything. It means she isn’t still indifferent to you.” “Maybe, she loves me, but she will hardly forgive me.” Edward locks his fingers and sets his gaze on the floor. “In this case, I have no other choice but to let her go.” “Excuse me, Justin, but you’re acting like a milksop! What stops you? Stubbornness? Cowardice? Hesitation? Fear of getting rejected?” “You answered these questions.” “Do you think your problems would be solved, and that girl would come to you and ask you to come back to her after burying your head in the sand? No, buddy! You’re the only one, who can change and impact everything! Your life is in your hands! And you’re the only one to be able to make it what you want to see.” “Oh, Morgan…” Edward tiredly glances at Christopher with a quiet moan. “You understand nothing… I’m afraid to look into her eyes after how meanly I behaved toward her! I’m getting tortured by this fucking sense of shame! The fear of getting rejected! And sometimes I think I won’t be able to accept this loss… Losing that girl would be like the death of one of my close people. Although Em and I dated only for three months, I already got attracted to her.” “If there’s a chance to fight, you must fight, not let everything happen as it wants. You can give up only when there is no single way. But you weren’t openly told everything was over, and trying to fix something would be worthless. Right?” “Yeah, but…” Christopher exhales sharply and claps Edward on the back with sadness on his face, saying: “Listen, Jus, I completely understand you and know what you’re feeling. But you shouldn’t act like this. You’re a man! A strong, adult man! Do men act like this? If they want something, they must reach for their goal, despite nothing. Yes, it’s hard for you, and you feel guilty about Emily. But I’m assuring you that it’s not too late to fix your mistakes.” “But what can I do?” Edward throws his hands, looking at Christopher surprisingly. “First, talk to her and say you’re ashamed of her. Tell her how much you need her. Yes, she may refuse to listen to something, kick you out, and tell you to go to the fuck and leave her alone. But if you prove your love to her, she’ll notice it. I think many people told you girls loved when guys acted like knights. They’ve loved it since the old times. Don’t run after her and chase her anywhere. Just ask her about a talk and explain everything. If she isn’t indifferent to you, she will let you know she wouldn’t mind coming back to you.” “How easy everything is,” Edward smiles falsely and chuckles quietly. “Well, I know why. You’ve just never run into something like this. For you, girls are just fun. If you want, you hang out with one. You decided to forget her, no problem. It’s like getting a prostitute, who would please you for money. She’d get the money, give you a blowjob, and get out.” “Trust me, Ledger, there was a strong love in my life. Yes, I was hurt after we broke up. But later, the pain was gone, and I felt I was ready for something new and interesting. For new relationships, at last.” “I haven’t gotten better for the past one and a half months… After the breakup.” “Because you don’t want it. Seriously, Justin, you’re kind of doing your best to remember her. And you ain’t definitely gonna get rid of everything related to her. The one, who really wants it, shamelessly gets rid of everything that reminds them of their former love.” “You’re kind of right. But I understand I’ll have to accept it, forget her and get rid of everything that has to do with her. Because there’s no hope for the best.” “Oh, Justin, I don’t know how to make you sure not to give up.” Christopher moans tiredly and runs his hands over his face. “I don’t really like to see you so depressed. Put yourself together, buddy. Why did you get so broken? You’re acting like a boy, who fell in love for the first time and lost sleep, appetite, and head! Fell in love with the one, who he wasn’t destined to be with.” “Maybe, I’m really in love like a boy and lost my head. I never loved anyone stronger.” “And even despite that, do you wanna fold your hands and stay aside? Think, Ledger, think! Are you gonna suffer because of the girl and lock your heart away from others just because you think of the one, who didn’t give you happiness? You’re a young boy, but you wanna destroy your life! That’s wrong, buddy! Really wrong!” “Thanks a lot for the support, Chris,” Edward replies amicably with a slight smile. “I really appreciate that you worry about me. But sadly, what’s done is done. Trying to get what’s lost forever is worthless.” “Don’t give up, buddy.” Christopher claps Edward on the shoulder, looking at him with sympathy. “If you want something, you should fight ‘till the end. And now I don’t mean your ex-girlfriend. I mean everything. You must fight for anything. Not only for the love of a girl.” “Hard to deny it.” “You should know that everything is not easy. Life is a fight for survival, in which only the strongest and most enduring people survive. When you relax a little and give them a reason to touch you, you will be dragged down and fall to the ground. Life is like a moving crowd, in which only those, who know how to do it survive. When you slip up and make the wrong step, you will fall down, and they will run over you. People will show no sympathy and not help you get up. Don’t let yourself fall because you will hardly get up. While you can stand, do it. While you can breathe, breathe. While you can fight, fight. Use any chance that life gives you. Because who knows if you can get it again.” “Thanks, Chris,” Edward thanks truly with a shy smile. “I’ll try. But I promise nothing.” “If you don’t whine and do keep fighting, you’ll get happiness,” Christopher assures. “You’ll get your girl back, find a job, and rent a cool apartment.” Meanwhile, the news issue is being translated on TV. A girl, who is doing the news, tells people about some events, an arrest of someone, or a trial for a long time. But later, she starts talking about the story of Michael MacClife. “…Now about what people care about much more! Three days ago, on September, 23rd, the owner of the shipbuilding company ‘The MacClife Shipping’, Michael MacClife, got arrested. The police charged him with a few articles of The Criminal Code of The United States of America and got proof of his fault for a few events…” After hearing the familiar name, Edward glances at the TV, sees the photos of his uncle, and gets quite nervous with the thought that Christopher will know who he is. And to his sadness, Morgan gets definitely interested in what the host says. “Oh, it seems like another man got arrested!” Christopher chuckles. “Was he caught on getting a bribe or fraud?” “Do you really care about it?” Edward asks in a little shaking voice, fingering over nervously. “Damn, this old man went crazy in old age!” “Oh, Chris, give a fuck about them! Turn on something interesting. Maybe, they are showing a movie?” “No, I wanna listen to what that man did.” “But, Chris…” “C’mon, let’s listen! I’ll make the sound louder!” After taking a remote control placed near him, Christopher makes the volume louder and starts watching the news, showing a great interest in the news about Michael’s arrest. Edward gets sharply white, starts to breathe heavily, and tenses all his muscles, while his eyes are chaotically running from one side to another. “…Mr. MacClife got charged with the attempt to kill his younger brother, Jamie MacClife, the father of the actor and vocalist of the band ‘Against The System’, Terrence MacClife. Michael also got charged with the attempt to kill the younger brother of the actor, Edward MacClife. And we have the information that Michael was also planning the murder of two more people: the fiancée of Terrence MacClife, the famous model, Raquelle Cameron, and her friend, Natalia Rochester, the daughter of the fashion lawyer, Letitia Rochester, and the fashion journalist, Anthony Rochester, the owners of the firm that creates clothes and the girlfriend of Edward MacClife…” “Huh, holy shit, a list of crimes!” Christopher chuckles. “And yeah, the last name MacClife is so familiar to me… But where could I hear it?” At this moment, the photos of Terrence, Raquelle, and Natalia are shown on the screen of the TV. “Wow, that’s Terrence MacClife!” Christopher opens his mouth. “The dude from ‘American Love Affair!’ The daughter of one man from my work dinged into his ears about Mason, who Terrence played. Right, that’s him! And I know his fiancée! Raquelle Cameron! A real cutie! Walking sex! And the blondie is pretty good…” But when Christopher sees photos of Edward, he stops smiling. He falls into a stupor because the man in the photos is very similar to his friend Justin Ledger, who is sitting next to him and looking terribly excited. The only difference is that Edward has a perfectly smooth, shaved face, and Justin has a very noticeable bristle. But everything is the same: hair, hair color, a face… Even the clothes. “My gosh…” Christopher pronounces and starts to look at Edward and the photos on the TV. “Listen, Ledger! That guy looks kind of similar to you!” “I dunno…” Edward shrugs. “I think, no…” “I do say you’ve kind of shown up on the TV! If you had the same hair and eyes as his, you would be his absolute image.” And while Christopher keeps being surprised by the strong resemblance between Justin and Edward, and MacClife, Jr., tries to keep calm, the host keeps broadcasting the reportage: “…We have the information that Michael MacClife made an attempt to kill his brother with the help of his accomplices and also Edward MacClife, the younger son of his brother. We do not know how the arrested one tried to kill them… We also know that Michael was harming all his relatives for a long time, including his brother Jamie, his sons, and the sweethearts of the men. As the captain of the police, Victor Johnson, says, Michael stole the shipbuilding company ‘The MacClife Shipping’ from Jamie for revenge. The arrested one dishonestly took the house, the money, and everything his brother owned… After, Michael tried to kill Edward MacClife, who survived, as well as his father. And the fact that Edward and Jamie stayed alive did not stop Michael from going further. There were the attempts on Terrence MacClife and Raquelle Cameron, who, fortunately, did not suffer. Later, he organized the kidnapping of Natalia Rochester. We know that Mr. MacClife was holding the girl in his house for four days, and then he asked Terrence and Edward to go to his home, where he tried to kill the three.” By this moment, Christopher starts watching the reportage with the same dumbfounded eyes as Edward’s, who gets more and more nervous as long as photos and videos of him and all those people are shown on the screen. “…This story could have ended badly if the police had not come to the house of Michael just in time. The source confirmed that Raquelle Cameron brought the police to the house of Mr. MacClife and tightly collaborated with the law enforcement officials. Along with her and the policemen, Jamie MacClife came. At first, he had entered Michael’s home and had been there for some time before the police got Mr. MacClife and those, who helped him commit bad tricks. Thus, Michael MacClife and his accomplices were brought to the police station and put in a cell. Now, all the members of that event are fine and expecting the first hearing, which is supposed to start somewhere in one month. And as captain Victor Johnson says, one of the accomplices of Michael, Eugene Wainwright, got charged with violence against Natalia Rochester, who already confirmed the fact and gave the police proof of his fault.” Every new second, Christopher is listening to what the host says more closely and starting to suspect the one, who is sitting next to him, is Edward MacClife, not Justin Ledger. “…In addition, as the unconfirmed information says, Edward MacClife will also be one of the defendants. The twenty-five-year-old guy is charged with the murder of Nicolas Carter, the friend of Jamie MacClife, who was killed on January 19th, 2010. The police staff got MacClife arrested because a pistol with the fingerprints of that guy was found near the corpse of the killed man. And the fact that Edward was holding the gun and got caught in a crime became another reason to get him arrested. Mr. MacClife himself denies his fault for the murder and says he just saw Nicolas being killed and took the pistol accidentally. Besides, Edward charged Eric Brown, one of the accomplices of Michael, with killing Mr. Carter and saying there were other fingerprints on the gun. And the police promised to check this version…” Christopher opens his eyes widely, sometimes trying to say something but being so dumbfounded that he cannot say a word. “… The case of the murder of Nicolas Carter has not been closed yet. The investigation will be restarted, and the jury will announce the sentence for the killer. And although Edward MacClife was released on bail and declaration that he would not leave the country, he will become a defendant in the trial. If the proof of his fault is found, and MacClife’s charges for Mr. Brown are false, the brother of Terrence MacClife will go to serve the sentence that he will get from the judge and jury members. We know that he might get a twenty-year sentence. At the moment, this is everything we know now. But we will be watching this story and giving you any information that the reporters of our channel will know.” The host continues to tell about other crime people. But Christopher and Edward still stare at the TV with dumbfounded eyes. And two seconds later, MacClife, Jr., glances down shamelessly, and Morgan closely looks at his friend. “What a resemblance!” Christopher exclaims. “Dude, that guy in the photo is really similar to you. If you shave off your bristle, you will look like the guy in those photos. I don’t care about the hair color and the eyes color!” Edward says nothing, while his widely open eyes start running from one side to another. “Oh, shit, couldn’t it happen that you’re the younger brother of Terrence MacClife?” Christopher asks. “You’re really similar to Edward! Similar to Terrence MacClife!” “Chris…” Edward pronounces hesitantly in a quiet, shaking voice. “Hey, second… Are you not the one you’ve been pretending to be all this time?” Getting pale, Edward hesitantly moves his scared look to Christopher, starting to breathe heavily. “Are you not Justin Ledger?” Christopher asks quietly. “Your name is Edward MacClife? Is this your real name?” Edward says nothing and keeps looking at Christopher as if he is guilty of him. “I repeat my question again: what’s your name?” Christopher asks quietly. But this time, Edward does not give an answer again. That’s why Christopher gets irritated, crosses his arms over his chest, and looks at his friend with suspicion. “Hey, how long will you be silent?” Christopher asks irritably. “Who are you: Justin Ledger or Edward MacClife? What does it the fuck mean?” Edward says nothing again and just swallows up nervously. “Speak the fuck out!” Christopher demands loudly and irritably, taking Edward by the shoulders and shaking him. “Which secrets did you hide from me? Can you explain who the fuck you are, and what your real name is?” “Quiet, Chris, quiet,” Edward decides to speak, as his hands are shaking slightly from the excitement. “Don’t get so excited.” “What does it all mean? Who are you? What’s the hell happening?” “Calm down, please, I’ll explain everything now. Just don’t get mad and just listen to me.” “Well, alright.” Christopher crosses his arms over his chest, looking at Edward gloomily. “Speak. I would really love to hear your explanations about this bullshit.” “You’ll get them. I promise.” “Alright, let’s start with a little thing. Tell me your real full name.” “My real full name is Edward Robert MacClife,” Edward confesses quietly, gets the lenses out of his eyes, and takes his wig off in front of Christopher, who opens his mouth. “I’m not Justin Ledger, as I introduced myself to you. My name is Edward.” “Holy shit! And why did you call me a false name? Was there a meaning of calling yourself Justin, while you were not Justin? And why did you the hell wear a wig and lenses?” “I just didn’t wanna say who I really was, and what kind of terrible story I got into.” Edward glances aside for a second. “That’s why I called myself by another name and hid the information about my family… About my life… I lied about almost everything… I created an image and kept it.” “So, didn’t you live in Atlanta?” “Nope, I've never been to Atlanta. I’ve never left New York.” “And didn’t your parents die?” “No. Mother and Father are safe and healthy. Now, you saw my father in the photos. I mean, not only him. But also my family.” Edward inclines his head. “Terrence MacClife is my older sibling, and Raquelle Cameron is his fiancée… Michael MacClife is my uncle… Jamie MacClife is my father… And Natalia Rochester is the girl you and I talked about… She is the one I used to date.” “So, it happens that her name is not Emily?” “Emily is Natalia’s middle name. Natalia Emily Rochester. This is how her full name sounds.” “And the reportage said Edward MacClife was twenty-five. So, aren’t you actually twenty-one?” “Nope, I’m twenty-five. I took a few years off, using the fact that I looked much younger.” “Wow… I wouldn’t have thought you were much older. I really believed you celebrated the legal age. And you’re younger than me…” “No, twenty-five is my real age. And yeah, I’m older than you.” “Fuck, what a twist…” Christopher shakes his head, while his dumbfounded, widely open eyes are running from one side to another. “Fuck! You’re Edward MacClife! A member of the MacClife family! The brother of Terrence MacClife!” “They didn’t know it at first.” “What?” “Those people knew me as Edward Lockhart.” “Edward Lockhart?” “I changed my name at the age of nineteen. And I slightly changed my appearance with this wig and lenses. When I met my family, they saw me as a brown-eyed guy with brown hair.” “And why did you do it?” “At first, I wanted to win the trust of my brother, mother, and their familiars. That’s why I didn’t give them any hints that I was actually their relative. But some time ago, I had to reveal the real me. Get rid of my costume, as my uncle said one day.” “What a twist…” “It’s a long story. But I promise I will tell you everything.” “You’re surprising me, man.” “I know it’s hard for you to accept it and trust me. But after they showed the reportage, pretending to be another man doesn’t make sense anymore. I mean… Supporting one of my personalities.” “I was wondering why you reminded me of someone,” Christopher confesses thoughtfully, stroking his chin. “When you and I met, you reminded me of someone, but I couldn’t remember who. Though, now I can confidently say you reminded me of Terrence MacClife. I do know that actor ‘cause, as you heard, the little daughter of my colleague dinged into his ears about him.” “Really?” Edward wonders. “I thought every single dog knew me and recognized me as the younger brother of Terrence MacClife. Everybody says we’re very similar.” “And it’s the truth. You’re really very similar to him. Maybe, you look like a baby and have a little naive gaze, but you two are really the same.” “Thanks to the wig and lenses, nobody came to me outside and didn’t ask me if Terrence was my brother. But I had been getting the questions about it from everyone before I changed my appearance.” “Oh, dude, after this reportage, everybody will recognize you! And if you started to make everyone sure that Terrence MacClife wasn’t your relative, nobody would believe it. Only a blind person wouldn’t guess you’re connected by family ties.” “It’s strange that my half-brothers aren’t similar to us.” “Wow, you have more brothers?” “Yes, two younger brothers from my father's second marriage. But I haven’t spoken to them for ages since my father split up with my stepmother, who took them with her.” “M-m-m, yay, buddy, as it turned out, you’ve got lots of relatives!” Christopher smiles shyly. “Though, you were pretending to be a poor, unhappy guy that had nobody.” “It was the side of Justin Ledger. The side I created to hide my real life. Hide everything that happened to me and my family. I wanted to distract myself from all of that, and I was pretending to be Justin. Not Edward.” “My gosh… I thought I knew everything about you…” Christopher falls into silence for two seconds, while Edward looks at his hands, but then he glances at his black-haired friend again. “Hey, what about the story about the arrest of Michael MacClife? How did you get involved in it? Did he really do what the host talked about?” “Oh, Chris…” Edward leans back in the sofa with a quiet moan and puts his hand on his forehead. “I don’t even know where to start from. How to tell you how many sufferings that man gave us. That cad. The curse of the MacClife family.” “Start from the beginning.” “Okay.” Edward exhales sharply and gets straight quickly. “I will say a couple of words… So, Father and Uncle have hated each other since childhood. My uncle did his best to turn the life of my father into hell. Because of him, Father had almost nothing. Yes, he saved something, but Uncle wanted to get that, as well. That man was obsessed with the thought of revenging Father and destroying his family, which was allegedly guilty of making his life worse. Later, Uncle Michael tried to kill me and then my father. We survived, but we were hiding from everybody for a long time. But Uncle found out that I stayed alive. And we found out that my father was also alive three days ago. When something that was the reason why all of us almost died happened.” “Who?” “My brother, father, ex-girlfriend, and me. Uncle really kidnapped Natalia. I mean, his people took her away under from my nose. And four days later, he got me and my brother caught in a trap by asking us to go to his home.” “What kind of trap? What are you talking about?” “Terrence had to leave his fiancée Raquelle alone. And it was good for Uncle, who wanted to send his people to my brother’s home, so they could bring that girl to him. Because my brother is ready to tear anyone for her, he wouldn’t have let them take Cameron away… And Uncle knew it all.” “Oh… Wow…” “I’ve always been terribly afraid of Uncle ‘cause he could betray what I had to hide for a long time. The murder of Nicolas Carter… I was afraid that man would make it look like I really killed the man.” “So, didn’t you kill Nicolas?” “No, Chris, I swear I killed nobody! I just saw Nicolas being killed. And when the killer ran away, my friend, who was with me, and I couldn’t help him.” Edward swallows up nervously, locking his fingers tightly. “And I, idiot, took the pistol left by the killer and left my fingerprints on it. I was so shocked by what I saw that I forgot that my fingerprints would be on the gun. And… I paid for it by the two weeks of the arrest and the cruel tortures that the investigator and my cellmates put me under.” “Cruel tortures?” Christopher gets horrified. “Were they beating you?” “Much worse. I left the prison half-alive. Uncle got me out. Who made bail for me and gave a bribe to the investigator, so the investigation was temporarily suspended. I was released after I was made to sign a declaration that I would not leave the country. And then Uncle said something: I should’ve become his right hand and dance attendance upon him and work off the money that he paid for me, or I’d die in prison or because of his pals. I was playing time, not wishing to work on that sick bastard, but being terribly afraid that my close people would know everything. And it was getting harder because Uncle was pressing on me strongly. He knew all my weaknesses. He knew what to press on to break me down.” “But why didn’t you tell the police the truth?” Christopher wonders. “You were in prison for nothing!” “I tried!” Edward replies with despair. “But nobody believed me! The investigator refused to believe me, a nineteen-year-old guy, and tried to make me confess that I killed Nicolas by force. But if I had done that, it would’ve been a lie. I’m sure many people don’t believe me… When Father heard that, he said he’d refuse to call me his son if it was the truth.” “Yeah?” “I’m not guilty, I swear! But I have no chance to prove it! Only one person could save me…” “But why did he do nothing? And what happened to him after it happened? Did he get arrested, as well?” “No, I made him run away from the crime place. I didn’t wanna get him involved in the business connected with my family.” “And what happened to him?” “I don’t know, I haven’t spoken to him since the day of the murder. It’s been six years.” “The reportage said the killed man was a friend of your father, Jamie.” “Yes, Nicolas was the best friend of Father. And that man treated me very warmly and always showed interest in me and my life. Much more than my own father, who hated me all his life and paid attention to me only when I was guilty of something.” “And your uncle?” “I can’t say they were enemies, but Uncle disliked him.” “And the one, who you called a killer, was working for Michael?” “Yes, I know exactly that Nicolas was killed by Eric Brown, the main kiss-ass of Uncle, who literally looked into his mouth. I saw that man and his pals, who were beating him and shoot Nicolas twice.” “So, did Michael have to do with the order to kill Nicolas?” “Uncle Michael denies all the charges and says he didn’t tell anyone to kill Nicolas. But I don’t exclude that it’s the truth, and Eric had business with Father’s friend.” “Well… If he’s guilty, he must go to prison. The police must drop the charges off you.” “I told about my charges to Captain Johnson, who was shown on TV. And he promised to take a note of it. He said they’d get Eric’s fingerprints to check them with those that are on the pistol. It will be a little chance to stay free. But I will have to come to the trial as the defendant. Alongside those scumbags, who the police caught.” “Didn’t you think of trying to find the person, who could prove your innocence?” “I wanna find that man, but I don’t know how or where.” Edward throws his hands up. “It’s been so many years since we met. Many things could change. I do live like shit on the water and can’t go anywhere. But my friend could use a number, move to another city or country, and actually forget about me.” “Find that guy, man!” Christopher exclaims confidently. “He’s a witness of the murder, who could confirm your words. The killer will hardly recognize his fault and will keep saying you killed him. Even if a good proof is found. And if you have the witness, your chance to be found non-guilty will get bigger. Of course, it’s not a guarantee, but some hope.” “I’ll try to, but I ain’t sure I could find him,” Edward replies hesitantly. “Now I have only one thought – to call his mobile number. I still have his number.” “Very good idea! I don’t think some people would change their numbers often. Unless they didn’t lose it or get annoyed by calls. If it doesn’t exist, the robot will tell you about it. And if you reach the one you need, there’s a chance that the guy will answer you. You’ll explain the situation and ask him for help. I think he won’t refuse when he knows what kind of trouble you got into and will do his best to save you from prison.” “I think I will do it. At the nearest time. Nobody knows when the trial starts.” “You don’t know?” “No, I don’t,” Edward shakes his head and runs his hand through his hair. “We haven’t been told the date.” “Then do it, guy,” Christopher replies confidently. “For you, that man may be your salvation. Don’t ya wanna spend all your life in prison for what you didn’t do?” “I’m afraid they’ll make me wish to kill myself if I’m back there.” “Then don’t dare to do anything. Do everything you can. Otherwise, no experienced lawyers will help you. Even appealing the sentence won’t help you if you don’t find a way to prove your innocence. The fact that the gun has your fingerprints may be enough to put you in prison for twenty years.” “I’ll try. I promise.” “Oh, okay, let’s think you made it clear…” Christopher says thoughtfully. “But what about the attempt to kill your brother, his fiancé, and your ex-girlfriend? How did your uncle want to kill them?” “The reportage told the truth. And I’ve already said Uncle kidnapped my ex-girlfriend and then made me and my brother come to him, planning to send his people to take Raquelle.” “Did she really bring the police to the house of your uncle, as the host said?” “Yes, she was lucky to some extent,” Edward replies hesitantly. “Because she had started to look for ways to end this story some time before everything happened. Raquelle secretly asked her friend and the familiar of my father, who were working in the police, for help. With their help, the police, my father, and that girl went to my uncle’s home where I was with my brother and ex-girlfriend. If not for Cameron, we would’ve hardly stayed alive. She literally saved all of us! Saved us from what could’ve happened to us.” “And as I understand, did she find out your father was alive much earlier?” “Exactly! She knew it but said nothing and wanted Terrence and me to see everything ourselves. And Father had been collaborating with the police before Raquelle asked for help. Besides, a person from the police was sent to Uncle Michael’s home on purpose… The girl, who got the trust of my uncle, was always aware of his plans and told the information to the police, and they told my father everything.” “Wow! What a story!” “That story could’ve ended badly, but everybody is safe and sound, luckily. Though, I haven’t spoken to anyone for three days and don’t know what’s happening to those people.” “Yea-a-ah, buddy…” Christopher hesitantly claps Edward on the shoulder. “I don’t envy you… I’m surprised you’ve been living with this shit for many years.” “My parents tolerated much more from Uncle than my brother or me. Though, that stinker ruined our lives when we were kids. For example, Uncle turned the little Terrence against his father, whom he hated all his life. Because he believed the lie about his father treating his mother badly. He found out the truth three days ago.” “Wow…” “And it’s a little part of what he did. If I start telling you everything he did, it will take much time.” “Yeah… Now I understand why you’re trying to run away from all of that. And I guess why you decided to pretend to be another man. I’d also prefer doing everything to stop being a part of such criminal dramas and live a quiet life.” “Yes, to some extent…” Edward replies thoughtfully. “For a quiet life, I’m ready to change everything in my life. Even ready to stop being Edward MacClife and become someone, who doesn’t have to do with the MacClife family. To become Justin Caleb Ledger, whom I was pretending to be for you.” “Did you tell nobody that you had become a suspect in the murder of Nicolas and may go to prison?” “Nobody. Nobody knew I’d become the defendant alongside Uncle and his herd of sheep. But when Uncle told Father, Terrence, and Natalia my secret, I had to confess everything. But Uncle didn’t know that Eric killed Nicolas and truly believed I did it. I could tell him the truth, but they wouldn’t believe me even if I had proof.” “And what are you gonna do if you are found innocent?” “Disappear. Disappear for my family forever and stop calling myself a part of it. I madly love them, but it would be better if I wasn’t one of them. After what happened, I can no longer call myself one of the MacClifes.” “Wanna hide just because you’re gonna get a mark of a person that was in prison?” “Actually, there are very many reasons. The case is not only about the shame of confessing that I was among prisoners.” “Well…” Christopher frowns slightly. “I already understood you were afraid to show up for your ex-girlfriend after you left her. But I think you shouldn’t run away from your family just because you were in prison. You did kill nobody! Why would you be ashamed? Many people may get arrested for nothing, but then the police drop charges off them. A mistake! Anything happens!” “I wanna run because I’m ashamed of my brother, parents, and soon-to-be sister-in-law,” Edward confesses hesitantly. “Something that made my relationship with them sharply worse happened.” “Do you think they judge you for leaving your girlfriend?” Christopher wonders, opening his eyes widely. “Not only. It happened that they understood my wish to fight with Uncle wrongly. They thought I allegedly wanted to rob and kill them for money.” “What do you mean?” “I gave them a reason to think so. I had to be silent about much and even lie because I couldn’t tell them the real reasons for the fight with Uncle. I mean… I was fighting with him to get at least my part of the inheritance, which my father bequeathed me, but which Uncle wanted to get. Though, I did almost nothing, ‘cause I was terribly afraid of that sick man, who was constantly insulting and humiliating me. I could go to the police, notary, lawyer, or someone else to be sure I would keep my money. But I was a coward.” “So, were you pretending that you were fighting. Were you just working your mouth?” “Let’s think I just wanted to get attention. That’s why I started that show. However, there’s a part of the truth about it. I really wanted to get the money that Father bequeathed me. But after I found out the truth about what happened to Natalia, and when Uncle’s people took her away, I gave up on this wish. I was ready to reject anything in order for her to stay alive and healthy. I didn’t care about money and wished Uncle to choke on it. Just to know the girl I love and all my close people didn’t suffer.” “Oh, wow!” “Yes. I know I shouldn’t have meddled in the conflict between Father and Uncle. But… I couldn’t stay indifferent… Couldn’t… I wanted to restore justice and prove to everybody that I wasn’t worthless. Because nobody needed me. But I wanted people to thank me. To say nice things to me. I wanted everyone to see I was worth something. Nobody paid attention to me. I was always like a shadow. And I was born accidentally. Just because my parents didn’t think of abortion after they found out my mother was pregnant with me.” “Well… I kind of understand you…” “But my wish to try to get money and destroy Uncle led to my fight with all my relatives. First, I told them a part of the story, but then I had such a big fight with Natalia that I stopped controlling myself and let them know that I needed the money and wealth of my family. Well… They got mad at me, and I was so angry that I didn’t deny that. I eventually fought with my ex-girlfriend, Terrence, who attacked me with fists, and Raquelle, who stood by her fiancé and friend. It was too late to explain something. And I applied many efforts to convince them to forget about offenses and help Natalia.” “Didn’t you really want to kill and rob them?” “No, c’mon! I don’t need anyone’s money! I just wanted to get what belonged to me. I didn’t even think about doing that to those, to whom I was strongly attracted. And I made much more sure about it when I succumbed to my fear because of Uncle and nearly killed my brother, who was saved by my ex-girlfriend. She… Pressed on me much more and asked me to shoot at her.” “What, what?” Christopher shakes his head sharply, opening his eyes widely. “Hey, minute… Wait… What do you mean you nearly killed your brother, and your ex-girlfriend asked you to shoot at her?” “I’m very sorry about what happened.” “Did you really wanna kill them?” “Not at all, Chris, I swear!” Edward replies with despair. “Uncle Michael was the one to blame! He put the pistol in my hand by force, pointed at Terrence, and told me to shoot, threatening that my brother and my ex-girlfriend would know about the arrest. I was terribly afraid of being judged. I was afraid that if I said I killed nobody, the people would believe that bastard, not me. I felt horrified from thinking I couldn’t prove to everybody that I was arrested by mistake. And everything was much worse because my hesitance prevented me from going against Uncle. That man was making the accent on the fact that I was a cowardly, worthless, and talentless piece of shit with the thought that he could make me shoot at Terrence.” “And were you ready to kill your sibling because of cowardice? Your uncle made you weak, and you succumbed to him!” “Maybe, I would’ve really made the worst mistake in my life. But as I said, Natalia meddled and tried to stop me with words when Uncle kept pressing. But then she pointed the pistol in my hands at her and started to beg me to kill her. And that was what became my last drop. I realized I couldn’t act like a cowardly bunny anymore. I started to understand that I should’ve stopped bending under Uncle. When my ex-girlfriend started to beg me to shoot at her, I gave a fuck about what Uncle would do to me. And I gave up.” Christopher exhales slowly and says nothing for a few seconds, reflecting on the situation, trying to formulate a point of view, and running his hand over his face. “Wow…” Christopher pronounces quietly. “Just wow…” “You can’t imagine how horrified I felt at that moment,” Edward confesses in a little shaking voice. “I wanted to shoot myself not to feel shame and horror… I was terribly afraid to look into the eyes of my brother and ex-girlfriend, who… Who I almost killed with my own hands… Even if I didn’t want it. I swear, Christopher, I wanted to kill nobody! I didn’t want!” “You know, buddy… On the one hand, I wanna judge you for what you did. Because you acted disgustingly toward your family. But on the other hand… I’m really sorry about you… You experienced the horror that nobody should experience. It’s really horrible…” “You don’t believe me?” “No… I believe you… And I’m glad you went against the will of your uncle and saved yourself, your brother, and that girl from death. Despite everything that had happened, you showed some strength.” “I won’t get mad if you start to judge me.” Edward inclines his head guiltily, sometimes looking at Christopher scarily. “You have a right to think I’m a horrible man.” “I won’t pretend your actions are right. Although you’re my friend, I can’t close my eyes to your tricks.” “If you want, I can leave your apartment and don’t speak to you anymore. Just let me know it. And don’t worry, I’ll think up something about housing and a job. I’ll find a way to make my life better… I’m used to living in hard conditions. I’ve lived like this since I was seventeen. It’s okay.” “No, no, it’s okay,” Christopher says quietly, showing the palm of his hand to Edward. “Don’t go.” “Will you hate me as well as my family and some of my friends?” “If the case had to do with me, and you did such a disgusting thing to me, I’d definitely start to hate you and end our friendship. I will not meddle and stand by someone’s side. Solve it with your family yourself. But I will keep neutrality. Though, I’ll say one thing: the most important thing is that you realized your mistakes at the right time and fixed some of them.” “It definitely gives me relief,” Edward says quietly, calming down a little but still looking very tense. “Probably, the people will understand you later. At least, they’ll understand you didn’t wanna harm your family and acted like that just because of fearing your uncle.” “Ah, Chris…” Edward doubles over and leans on his laps with his elbows. “Maybe, you did, but the others will not do. They’ll never forgive me for what I’ve done. I’m sure everybody is gonna think of my sins and start to judge me.” “Maybe, they understand it all when they calm down a little? Now your family knows the truth and just should accept it.” “I doubt. Nobody will longer wish to speak to me: Father and Mother, my brother and his fiancée, my ex-girlfriend, and their common friends… I can’t count on the forgiveness of Terrence and Natalia. The first one believes I betrayed him and gave a fuck about his feelings, and the other is mad because of all my insults and humiliations.” “Well, I can understand Natalia’s offense, even if, as I’ve said, she should’ve understood what her silence would lead to. But do you really think Terrence wouldn’t forgive you?” “Now, I can’t say I didn’t betray my brother. When I tried to kill Terrence, I betrayed him. Even if I told my brother about Uncle’s wish to make me do it before that meeting.” “But you said you barely convinced him and your brother’s fiancée to help you when your ex was kidnapped.” “Convincing Raquelle was easier. For her friend, she was ready to forget everything. But everything was much harder with Terrence. He was ready to kick me out of his home like a dog. And he would’ve done it if Cameron hadn’t stopped him. Though, it didn’t stop him from attacking me with fists. But I didn’t answer him. Because I knew I was guilty of him. I had no right to deny something. I didn’t wanna provoke another scandal.” “But he did agree.” “I doubt he wanted to help me. Raquelle just convinced him. For her, my brother is ready for anything. Even to overcome pride and offense. He adores that girl and is entirely in love with her. I still remember how Terrence suffered when they almost broke up. That’s a long and unpleasant story, but it ended well, and they saved their marriage.” “I think you’re wrong, buddy. If Terrence hadn’t wanted to see you and had dreamed of kicking you out, Raquelle wouldn’t have stopped him. He would’ve grabbed you by the collar and kicked you out. Your brother wouldn’t have listened to anyone, especially, a girl. Being furious, he would’ve just closed her mouth and told her to stand aside, and she would’ve been able to do nothing.” “No, Chris, he was tolerating me all the time just for his fiancée. Even Mother, who is worried that we fought, wouldn’t change his mind.” “But how did you and your brother speak before fighting?” “Very well. We got on well and understood each other well. That man has always been my best friend, whom I highly appreciate and respect for what he is and for what he’s achieved. One day, he accepted me as a friend and let me become his close person. But I really doubt that Terrence will accept me as his brother.” “And how did he behave after you gave up and didn’t kill him?” “It’s amazing, but too well. He didn’t get mad at me for almost shooting him. He didn’t believe Uncle when he charged me with the murder of Nicolas. Terrence didn’t even let me shoot at myself when Uncle suggested I do that, saying I wouldn’t be able to live after what happened quietly.” “Holy shit!” Christopher wonders. “And after that, do you keep saying your brother did a favor for you and his fiancée? He even saved you from a self-murder!” “That was a moment of despair. The moment when we thought only about surviving. To survive, we should’ve been together. Terrence wasn’t the only one to succumb to that feeling. Natalia, Father, and I were obsessed with it as well.” “No, man, I don’t think so. Terrence did that because you weren’t a stranger to him. You’re his sibling, whom he truly loves at heart. No matter how much you fight, this feeling won’t get weak. If you were always attracted to each other, that affection will not be gone. Especially after he found out about his family ties with you.” “He loved, but he does not do it now. I don’t deserve forgiveness after what I did.” “Stop, buddy. If Terrence had given a fuck about you, he wouldn’t have forgiven you for almost killing him and wouldn’t have saved you from an attempt to shoot at you. Even despite the offense, he remembers you’re his younger brother and still cares about you.” “Oh, younger, older – who cares!” Edward replies in a broken voice with a quiet moan. “Terrence barely tolerated me when we had to unite. And now he’s probably happy he doesn’t have to see me.” “And do you want everything to be the same? Want your brother to really hate you for your cowardice?” “I don’t. But sadly, nothing can be changed.” “Wrong, you’ve got a chance. Just talk to him when you’re ready and apologize. I’m sure that getting his forgiveness is gonna be easy ‘cause he’s a man. We aren’t usually as offensive as girls. Of course, there are exclusions, but there are not so many.” “No, Chris, I can’t,” Edward shakes his head. “I understand that it’s gonna be hard for us to be on trial in this situation. But when everybody calms down, nobody will listen to my excuses. And especially save and protect from sick bastards like Uncle Michael.” “If you’re hiding, you’ll become a coward sooner. The coward, whom nobody will believe. No matter how much you say you’re sorry, nobody will believe your words are true. If you wanna prove your fault, you must show it, not hide in the bushes.” “I am a coward. A pathetic, insecure coward that was born accidentally. Father and Mother never waited for me, and they say their lives got much worse after my birth.” “They told you about it openly?” “Father… He said my birth made the hard situation in their family worse.” “Yeah, but they don’t hate you and don’t consider you a curse. You did think it up.” “I’m telling you the truth. Everybody treats me as if nobody really needed me.” “Well, I don’t know how everybody treated you, but I’m sure you thought up very much. And I think you shouldn’t run away from your family. It’s stupid to reject your close people because of fear of looking into their eyes. It’d be okay if you fought with them like a cat and a dog. But you got along well with everybody. So, you should openly talk to everybody: your brother, his fiancée, your ex-girlfriend, father, mother, and friends…” “Even if I wanted, it wouldn’t happen now. Because I’m not ready to see anyone now. I don’t want to run into anything that reminds me of what happened. It all made me super exhausted. I was so worried about my ex-girlfriend that I felt empty. As if someone took all my strength.” “Well, okay,” Christopher shrugs. “Then wait for a while. They say time may solve many problems and treat many wounds. Maybe, it’s your case. Live your life, do your business… Relax a little… But when the time comes, you’ll talk to everybody and solve this situation.” “I can wait, but how long will I have to wait? It all may take very much time!” “At least, try to find the courage to talk to everybody before the trial. Otherwise, it’ll be very hard for you morally. You’ll be sitting with defendants and having lots of eyes on you.” “Ugh-h-h, I’m even afraid to think about it,” Edward shakes slightly. “When I imagine it, I feel bad. I’m especially worried about my parents… I’m afraid to show up as the defendants alongside Uncle and his gang.” “It’s gonna be okay, buddy, don’t worry,” Christopher claps Edward on the shoulder. “Just don’t give up and do your best to save yourself from the sentence you didn’t deserve. And I promise I will come to the trial to support you if it’s open to everyone.” “Thanks, Chris,” Edward smiles slightly. “I’ll definitely need support when I’m in the courtroom.” Edward slowly moves his sad eyes aside. Christopher watches him for a few seconds and exhales sharply, saying cheerfully with a slight clap on his laps: “Okay, buddy, let’s not talk about bad things. If you came to me, I’m suggesting we spend time together… Watch a movie, go somewhere… Or get a couple of tickets to a friendly soccer game.” “Or drink a glass?” “Well, I’d drink a glass of something strong with pleasure… But knowing what happened the last time, I don’t even know if I should let you drink or not. Because you can’t control yourself in it. And you get drunk after the first glass. But after three ones, you actually turn into a crazy man.” “Oh, Chris, don’t start it, please,” Edward moans quietly, rolling his eyes. “That time, I drank so much because I was too depressed after another fight with my ex-girlfriend, a fight with my brother, and a worthless talk with Uncle. But you called just in time and literally saved me.” “Oh, yeah, saved…” Christopher blunts gloomily, crossing his arms over his chest and leaning back in the sofa. “If I hadn’t been with you, you would’ve drunk so that you could’ve ended up in a hospital or died right at the bar. Or started an affray and gotten arrested by the police.” “Oh, c’mon, stop it!” Edward moans, running his hands over his face. “I promise I’ll no longer drink like that. And I wasn’t gonna do it on that day. It just happened. I felt so desperate… I was so shocked by what happened that I wanted to get lost for a while.” “Hard to believe.” “C’mon, Morgan, I’m not a child and know what to do. Don’t worry about me so much.” “Oh…” Christopher exhales sharply, relaxing his shoulders. “Okay, you won! I will let you drink. But only if you promise to drink one glass for the whole evening.” “I promise!” Edward replies confidently. “I am swearing solemnly, respectful Christopher Morgan!” “Oh, wow!” Christopher laughs quietly. “Well, as you called me by the full name, I can trust you.” “Now you can believe everything. I will no longer hide the truth about me.” “Well, thanks, Justin!” “C’mon, forget about Justin,” Edward smiles shyly. “Call me Edward. By my real name. This is what I really am.” “Deal… Edward…” Christopher chuckles quietly. “I’ll definitely need time to get used to your name. To one of your personalities.” “If I wanna stop being a part of the MacClifes, I’ll take that name. So, you don’t have to forget it forever.” “Oh, boy…” Silence settles in the air for two seconds, during which Edward and Christopher chuckle quietly, and then the latter gets up slowly from the sofa, saying: “Okay… In this case, let’s start saving you from grieving and yearning.” “Suggesting watching a movie? Or going to a friendly soccer or hockey game?” “We’ll see.” Christopher goes to his room. “But you and I will surely go to a cool place.” “Wanna get off me soon, huh?” Edward laughs shyly. “How I’d dare to get off my friend! Who is a little crazy but wonderful enough companion.” “Well, thanks for being true and nice to me, Mr. Morgan.” “Thank you for revealing your dark side… Ju… I mean… Edward MacClife… Yeah… Edward…” “Get used to my real personality, buddy.” “I’ll try. Nevertheless, I’m glad I know your real name and who you are. Well… And I exhaled with relief because the danger of being killed by Terrence MacClife’s younger brother doesn’t threaten me.” “Oh, Chris…” Edward moans tiredly and closes his face with his hands for two seconds. “Shut up, please… And never remind me of me nearly killing my brother. I do feel fucking bad… And the fact that I’ve got tons of problems with my family, ex-girlfriend, and even the law makes me wish to strangle myself.” “No, don’t strangle yourself. I said everything would be okay.” “Let’s not just think about it at the nearest time. Otherwise, I’ll go insane… I need a little bit to explode.” “Okay, okay, buddy, I’m silent!” Christopher returns to the living room with his hands raised up, wearing a black shirt, dark blue jeans, black shoes, and a dark blue coat. “From this minute, we don’t think about your problem.” Christopher takes his mobile phone from a small table placed near the sofa. “Instead, we will be having fun and getting pleasure from life. So, Edward, get your ass off the sofa and follow me before I change my mind about playing the role of someone not to let you fall into yearning.” “Aw, dude, what I would do without ya…” Edward smiles shyly and gets up from the sofa lazily as he takes his wig and his lenses. Edward follows Christopher, who starts telling him about something funny with the hope that it will make his friend smile and make him forget what happened to him at least for a while. And when the guys leave the apartment, Morgan makes MacClife, Jr., laugh and smile wider, even if the man still feels sad and lousy from thinking that he might lose everything.***
Terrence preferred spending his free time with Raquelle. The young lovers went to the abandoned beach, their favorite place, which somehow reconciled them. Due to all the problems, they were not able to spend time at the place where they loved walking together. But now they finally have a wonderful chance to remember they have each other. They are wearing similar denim suits and white sneakers. The girl did more or less bright makeup and put on a light blue plaid shirt, little silver earrings, and a thin rose gold necklace, and made her wavy hair loose. And the man picked up a simple dark blue t-shirt and a watch gifted by his fiancée on their first relationship anniversary. Terrence and Raquelle are sitting in front of the storming ocean and watching it. While the girl is sitting between the man’s legs bent at his knees, and presses herself as close to her fiancé as possible, slightly touching his cheek with the top of her head, he puts his chin on her shoulder, wraps his arms around her waist, and tightly presses her to his chest. In the strong but tender arms of her beloved man, she feels absolutely relaxed and is enjoying what she has lately lacked. “Gosh, it’s been a while since we were here,” Raquelle says in a quiet, soft voice, watching the waves brought and carried away by the storming ocean with a slight smile. “We forgot about this place that means so much to me. I wanted us to come here together so badly.” “Me too, my sweetheart,” Terrence agrees, holding Raquelle tightly, pressing her to himself, having his arms wrapped around her waist, and watching the ocean. “That was my dream. Though, I was here some time ago. Well, just one time. I thought about this place and decided just to walk here.” “Yeah, I was here one time, too. Alone. But I can’t remember when.” “But we’ve finally solved this mistake and come here together,” Terrence smiles tenderly, snuggles his face in Raquelle’s hair, and kisses her cutely on her temple. “I’m gonna spend the nearest time with you.” “I dreamed about it for a long time.” Raquelle does not hide a slight smile when Terrence runs his hand over her soft hair, and closes her eyes for a second. “Very long…” “I’m all yours, babe.” Terrence leaves a couple of kisses on Raquelle’s cheek and runs the back of his hand tenderly over another. “Ready to do anything for you.” Terrence hugs Raquelle tighter with both arms, slightly opens a little part of her shoulder, kisses it tenderly, and runs his lips over it, making the girl laugh shyly. “I guess you feel better if you want to play a little,” Raquelle says through a shy laugh. “Having such a girl by my side, I know I can quickly come to myself,” Terrence replies in a soft, low voice, running his lips tenderly over Raquelle’s ear and slightly grabbing her earlobe, decides to leave her hair alone and just hugs and presses the girl to himself. “When you’re with me, I feel better. And thanks to you, I can forget about that nightmare, at least for a while.” “Agree, we really need to get lost,” Raquelle sighs heavily and snuggles her face in Terrence’s neck for a moment, feeling the incredible smell of his skin, which makes her feel a little dizzy. “Who knows how much time and strength the trial will take…” “Oh, yeah…” Terrence stops smiling and creases his eyebrows. “The trial… I shake when I hear this phrase…” “Me too. I’m already imagining how much patience we will have to pass that test.” “I don’t wanna go to the trial. I just want to wait for the sentence and meet the lawyers, who will be telling us about the process. But sadly, it’s impossible… Since we are pronounced witnesses, we’ll have to speak for ourselves.” “It seems like nothing is hard: going to the courthouse and telling them what happened and what you know. But everything is actually gonna be much harder.” “And we’ll have to answer questions of not only our lawyers, but also questions of the lawyer of Uncle and his pals. He will definitely be pressing on us much.” “I hope we’ll have the strength to take it…” Raquelle sighs heavily and leans her head back, putting the back of her head in Terrence’s chest. “But at least, there’s one good thing about all of that… Now we can be quiet ‘cause nobody’s threatening us. Nobody’s chasing us… Well, not saying about paparazzi, journalists, and reporters…” “Oh, yeah, it’s gonna be hard to talk to those guys. And if they’re too insolent, we’ll have to show some cruelty. Until the story of Uncle Michael ends, they’ll be very insolent. Much more insolent than before. They’re gonna examine every single pimple to create a scandal. They need a sensation! Need attention! They earn a lot of money for the exclusive. If they tell everyone a secret of a celebrity that is well hidden from everyone, and get their reward.” “A truth is a truth…” Raquelle replies thoughtfully and moves a thin strand of hair off her eyes. “Hey, do you know everybody’s talking only about the arrest of Michael MacClife? All the magazines, newspapers, sites on the Internet, news…” “And I even read what they wrote. Today’s morning, I was checking something on a laptop and reading the news on the Internet. Though, they wrote nothing new… Moreover, they wrote about half of what really happened to us.” “Yeah, I also found nothing new. But I noticed people were actively discussing this situation on all social networks and in comments under the posts about Michael’s arrest.” “They quickly found out that man was my relative. There was no word about him, but journalists did find out that I was his nephew.” “Or they knew it a long time ago but didn’t care about him much. Moreover, he showed up somewhere. The firm ‘The MacClife Shipping’ wasn’t so unknown. So, as your last name is rare, anyone, who has the same one could be called your relative.” “Well, I dunno…” Terrence replies thoughtfully. “But now everyone will be talking about Michael. And they can’t wait for his trial and the day when we'll hear the sentence.” “How do you think long the process will last?” “Well… Not one or two weeks, clearly! I can say nothing ‘cause I’ve never been in court. But as far as I remember, the judge gave Simon the sentence quickly enough.” “I believe it will last about one month. Or more. Everybody should speak, give proof… It will take a lot of time… Moreover, they will be hearing a few cases that Uncle and his pals have to do with. I dunno if they will be hearing them by one or at the same time. But in the first case, the process will last for months.” “I couldn’t disagree,” Raquelle says quietly. “In the nearest month, we all will be shaking from thinking that we will have to see Michael and his pals again and be in the same room with them.” “Oh, yeah, holding ourselves down is gonna be super hard. We’ll have to keep ourselves under control not to tell him a couple of bad words. Though, you will get tons of insults about my family.” “Yeah… He does hate all the MacClifes too much.” “And jealousy of Uncle over my father, grandmother, and grandfather was the one to blame. He went insane just because his brother got all the best. Though, he didn’t remember that nobody was gonna praise him without a reason.” “Maybe, I’m gonna say a crazy thing, but I’m sorry for Michael to some extent,” Raquelle confesses hesitantly. “What? Sorry?” Terrence sharply moves his widely open eyes to Raquelle, weakening his hug. “Raquelle, you’re serious? Are you sorry for the one, who has done nothing good to anyone for all his life?” “I’m sorry for him because he became cruel against his wish.” “What if he’s always been the one?” “Children aren’t born bad. They’ve been good and kind since birth. Some things just make someone worse. Some people wake up to the worst side of themselves. And someone’s attitude might also turn them into monsters.” “So, do you think Uncle became so cruel because Grandmother and Grandfather paid a little attention to him and gave all the love and care to my father?” “To some extent… Yes…” “Well…” Terrence pronounces thoughtfully. “It’s actually a good explanation… But I think any child would show their character when being a newborn baby. Someone’s quiet and obedient, and someone screams at the top of their lungs for any reason and refuses to listen to their parents… I doubt Uncle was good and nice when he was a baby.” “Maybe, you’re kind of right. But I think everything depends on the education.” “I think Michael has always been the one.” Terrence hugs Raquelle again and pressses herself to himself, setting his little sad gaze on the ocean. “But jealousy over his parents made the situation worse. It’s always hurtful when your parents love you less than your brothers or sisters.” “So, Michael started to hate your father so much that they became great enemies.” “And I think the problem is also his character. Uncle is a king for life. The king, to whom everyone should give anything on a plate. He wants everyone to walk on tiptoes in front of him, please him, and say how Mr. MacClife is good…” “That man loves himself too much and has always been too egoistic. He was happy he’d no longer have brothers and sisters, but then his parents gave him a ‘gift’ by giving birth to your father. And it made him furious.” “Yeah, it happened.” “Although I know he did nothing to deserve praise, I don’t understand why parents sometimes love one child more than another. Did Michael’s parents really never love him? Did they think only of the well-being of your father?” “Maybe, Grandfather and Grandmother loved him but didn’t show it ‘cause they knew there was no reason to praise him. If Uncle had been a good son, he would’ve gotten what he wanted.” “But why did they give a damn about him? I understand he’s by far not an angel, but that’s bad to treat your own children like that. You should love your children in the same way, no matter how many you have.” “Only Grandmother and Grandmother could answer this question. But sadly, they are no longer living in this world.” “And your father?” “Well… Maybe, he could say something… Explain why Uncle was doing what led to the horrible consequences. For all of us.” “So horrible that we will not forget them for a long time,” Raquelle replies with sadness in her eyes. “Agree,” Terrence nods and glances at Raquelle with a slight smile. “But I’m glad everything is over. Now we can relax a little and give some time to the people we love.” “I can’t deny it.” Raquelle presses herself much closer to Terrence with a cute smile, while he touches the top of the girl’s head with his cheek and kisses it tenderly at some moment. “We’re finally able to live one of the best moments in our lives.” “Any moment is wonderful for me if you’re with me.” Terrence hugs Raquelle tighter, locking his hands on her chest, runs his lips tenderly over a curve of her neck, and leaves a couple of kisses on the nape of her neck, while she closes her eyes with a wide smile, feeling that a nice shake is getting over all her body. “Any moment…” “Aw, my playful guy…” Raquelle, putting her hand on Terrence’s cheek, wants to kiss him on the lips cutely, but eventually kisses him at the tip of his nose, and runs her hand over his hair, looking into his eyes with a tender smile. Terrence answers Raquelle with a slight smile and softly rubs the tip of his nose against her nose, making the girl laugh shyly. “Hey, sweetie…” Terrence says thoughtfully, steps back from Raquelle, and moves some strands of hair off her face. “I still think of what you did for all of us. How you saved us by going to the police. If you hadn’t done that, we would’ve hardly stayed alive.” “Help found me by itself when I met my friend and a friend of your father,” Raquelle replies shyly. “Yeah, as it turned out, Father is quite smart. He quickly realized how to get benefit from the murder attempt. You should’ve seen how Uncle Michael got green when Father showed up in the office alive and healthy! I thought he’d explode from anger!” “That’s what Mr. MacClife wanted – to confuse all the cards of Michael. And he didn’t fail it and planned everything brilliantly.” “Despite losing almost everything, that man stayed loyal to himself and kept doing everything to get revenge on Uncle.” “Not only revenge him, but also save his family from the worst things. And… Make amends for his actions.” “I’m so awkward for him…” Terrence confesses with sadness in his eyes. “I was so unfair to him for so many years. Because of Uncle, who turned me against him.” “I’m sure he understands it.” “I should’ve listened to Mother and talked to Father much earlier. I should’ve protested against that meeting. Who knows, maybe, we would’ve avoided at least a bigger part of the problems. At least, Father would’ve been a good person for me.” “You’ll have a chance to talk to him and apologize. You haven’t said farewell yet. Early or late, you’ll wish to talk about the current situation.” “I don’t even know…” Terrence says thoughtfully. “For three days, there has been no news about Father. I’ve heard nothing about him since the day of Uncle’s arrest.” “We’ve heard nothing about anyone ‘cause we’re hiding at home like mice.” “He left so quietly and secretly. Father was swallowed by the ground after everything ended.” “But your father gave Michael a wonderful hit,” Raquelle chuckles quietly. “In all senses. He ruined all his plans and knocked him out.” “Oh, yeah, the hit was brilliant!” Terrence nods confidently with a slight smile. “And Father has a good psychical education. He was fighting well with Uncle and didn’t look like an old, helpless man. If not for signs of aging on the face, I wouldn’t say he’s about fifty.” “I guess you, the MacClifes, just have wonderful genes.” “The MacClife family is unique. It’s not the Smiths, Millers, or Sanders.” Terrence softly grabs Raquelle by the chin and turns her head on himself, setting his look into her eyes. “So, you’re very lucky, cutie. You’re gonna become a part of the unique family.” “Who said I wasn’t lucky?” Raquelle laughs cutely. “And actually, you’re lucky twice.” Terrence tenderly runs his fingertips over Raquelle’s neck, still looking at her with a slight smile on his face. “Because you got a truly good piece.” “You know, I didn’t need it not for anything at first.” “But you, good girl, understood what you could’ve lost.” Terrence caresses Raquelle’s cheek. “You will not find such a unique and irresistible man like me.” “M-m-m, it seems like my beloved MacClife is returning,” Raquelle smiles mysteriously and playfully slaps Terrence on the nose with a finger. “I recognize the handsome guy, who is too sure he’s perfect.” “Actually, he wasn’t gone. Just… It wasn’t just a good time to praise my uniqueness. But I never forgot how lucky I am to have what nature generously gave me.” Terrence softly runs his thumb over Raquelle’s open mouth. “And be proud to have the same gorgeous beauty.” Terrence waits for two seconds before he touches Raquelle’s lips softly with his lips and squeezes tenderly the top and bottom ones with his mouth, feeling that her breath is getting louder and heavier. “Who is also very brave and determined,” Terrence purrs, caresses Raquelle’s cheek tenderly with a warm hand, and leaves a little peck on her lips. “No matter how much time is gone, I’ll always be grateful to you for saving all of us. Uncle would’ve killed us ‘cause we three annoyed him so much that he lost his patience and exploded.” “C’mon, Terrence,” Raquelle replies shyly. “I did nothing special. Nothing to be so praised.” “Don’t be shy, my sunshine. If not for you, you wouldn’t be sitting here with me.” “I just did what I thought was right… What we should’ve done a long time ago. What my conscience wanted. What I wanted to do was prove my love for those, who got into trouble.” “If you hadn’t wanted to ask your friend about the case of the MacClife family and hadn’t met the friend of Father, we wouldn’t have done away with that sick old stinker.” “And I wouldn’t have found out that Michael got you out of the home to separate you from me on purpose.” “And again, I was an idiot when I didn’t listen to you,” Terrence says guiltily and snuggles his nose on the top and his cheek on Raquelle’s head. “I didn’t listen to your suspicions…” “Stop, honey, don’t blame yourself. You’re guilty of nothing.” “No, Raquelle, I am guilty. You’ve lately been always right, and your presentiments haven’t been groundless. You’ve asked me not to do something so many times, but I didn’t listen, did it, and eventually got in trouble.” “Do you think making mistakes constantly is bad?” “Every time I make a mistake, I just feel bad,” Terrence replies hesitantly. “When I did everything I wanted, even despite your warming.” “If you did, you did – is this the reason to be so depressed? Don’t seem perfect, and be afraid of every little mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. Nobody’s holy. As well as me.” “I’m noticing that I’ve lately shown stubbornness too often. I don’t listen to you. I think I’m doing the right things. I could listen to someone quietly, but I went against the good things.” “And you say I am headstrong!” Raquelle chuckles quietly. “Got infected from you!” “I infected you with my stubbornness?” Raquelle sharply steps back from Terrence and half turns her face on him. “Yes, you! People are right when they say you aren’t who you were born, but who you eat with. So, I’ve lived with you for one and a half years and became as headstrong and rebellious as you.” “Really?” Raquelle opens her eyes widely. “I thought you had always been the one! The indomitable mustang that is impossible to be tamed. Too headstrong and too insolent and very self-confident.” “What’s wrong with being self-confident? Confidence hasn’t done bad things to anyone yet. When someone shows they’re confident, people start to respect and be afraid of them. They know that they shouldn't mess up with them.” “I would’ve thought better before agreeing to marry you.” “But I don’t lose hope to tame you someday and make you a sweet and obedient girl that would never get loose and always do what she’s asked about.” “Yeah?” Raquelle chuckles. “Well, hope, sweetie, hope. Waste your time for nothing.” “It’s okay, cutie, I shall deal with you.” Terrence hugs Raquelle tightlywith both arms, presses her to himself, and kisses her on the top of her head. “You’ll be doing what I tell you.” “Go to hell, plucked rooster,” Raquelle blunts, rolling her eyes. “I hear everything!” “Alright, calm down! You kind of got too excited.” “How could I stay quiet when I have such an attractive girl by my side? Who can drive crazy by doing nothing.” “Try hard, pretty boy,” Raquelle replies in a low voice with a sly smile, and runs a finger over Terrence’s cheek and chin. “Try…” “Asking for trouble? If you do, you will get them.” “I can ask you the same.” “Oh, yeah, I…” Terrence does not finish his thought because Raquelle grabs him by the back of his head, sharply presses his face to herself, and gives him a tender kiss on the lips, every one of which she later softly grabs with her mouth, feeling his hot, heavy breath. And after stepping back, the girl looks at the man with an innocent smile. “Asked for trouble,” Raquelle says and strokes Terrence’s hair down. “Here’s the proof that you love asking for trouble and doing what you want.” “In this case, I know I will not regret it,” Terrence replies with a sly smile. “I know that by asking for trouble, I will feel very good and nice.” Terrence squeezes Raquelle in his hug much tighter and stops smiling. “But I will definitely regret doing what I want and framing myself and even you,” Terrence adds and kisses Raquelle cutely on the cheek, against which he rubs his cheek. “Very much…” “Gosh…” Raquelle sighs quietly and leans back, pressing her back to Terrence’s chest. “Just don’t tell me you’re gonna see nightmares of making those mistakes.” “I won’t be surprised,” Terrence says thoughtfully. “Besides, I just stopped seeing the nightmares you know about.” “Wow… I didn’t know you were such a sensitive and tender guy.” “This guy just needs some love and warmth.” Terrence rubs his nose against one of the curves of Raquelle’s neck and leaves a couple of kisses on it. “I want someone to have him under their wing, press him to themselves and make him feel like a little boy.” “As if you don’t get enough love and attention,” Raquelle laughs shyly. “But I would like more. How could someone leave such an irresistible and unique man without attention, love, and care?” “Oh, shit, don’t become similar to your uncle and demand that everybody gives you all the attention.” “Maybe, we’re kind of similar because of that. I can’t hide that I’ll feel very bad if nobody notices me. If nobody feels sorry for me and caresses me like a puppy or kitty…” “Yeah, should I read you tales for a night? Buy tons of childish tales written and read you by one every day?” “I wouldn’t mind it,” Terrence pronounces in a low voice with a sly smile. “Maybe, I’d sleep better and see only good dreams. After which, I wouldn’t wake up with a cold sweat and think where’s reality and where’s fantasy.” “You should just think about it less. Especially when you go to sleep.” “I try, but I can’t.” “Try, my dear, try.” “If you caress your beloved man, I will feel much better.” “Only if you’re a good boy.” “I am, sweetie, I am, promise.” “Okay them. I will do my best for my cat to feel good.” “Aw, my beloved girl…” Terrence hugs Raquelle tighter and puts his head on her shoulder for two seconds, entirely enjoying the pretense of the beloved person. And then he watches the ocean for a few seconds, while the girl breathes in the fresh air with closed eyes. The warm wind with a little bit of the fall coldness is blowing her face nicely, and the warmth of the masculine body relaxes every single muscle of hers and gives her a sense of easiness. But at some moment, MacClife, Sr., moves his eyes off the ocean and looks at his fiancée, who is watching the waves brought and carried away with a slight smile. “Raquelle, tell me the truth…” Terrence says thoughtfully, while Raquelle moves her eyes to him. “When you decided to help the police get Uncle and his pals arrested, did you think about the meeting with Simon, at which I went along with the policemen?” “I can’t hide that I was thinking about it all the time,” Raquelle confesses quietly. “You decided to thank me?” “Yup. I always wanted to do something to thank you for the act that saved my life. To prove my love and loyalty to those I love. Especially you. Sadly, I didn’t have a reason to do something grandiose to show that you meant very much to me. And… And when I got a chance to save you and my friend, I couldn’t miss it.” “Nice to hear it.” “But don’t think I did it for a sense of duty for you. It was done for love. For my wish to show care and love.” “I don’t doubt it at all. I do know you love me.” “With all my heart,” Raquelle smiles shyly. “But I wanna tell you again that you’ve saved me many times.” “Yeah, I know, but I thought it wasn’t enough to prove that my love was real. I wanted to do something grandiose that would leave nobody indifferent.” “I think that act was truly grandiose. Although only Father could’ve brought the police there, he would’ve hardly done it in time… If you hadn’t met Father’s friend, you wouldn’t have found out that there was a trap for us.” “Yeah, if not for Mr. Johnson, I would’ve never known I could’ve seen you the last time,” Raquelle replies with sadness in her eyes. “When that operation lasted, I could do nothing. The only thing I could do was to pray about the good end of the events.” “You were the only one to be free. So, we put all our hopes on you. We wanted to believe you’d think something up. That feeling got much stronger after we recalled your strange behavior. And you really saved us.” “I asked every one of you not to give up… Begged you to fight ‘till the end and believe the help was close. Expecting seemed endless… But when I was allowed to go and see you three, I was ready to jump from happiness. That you were all safe and sound. I was terribly afraid that one of you would suffer because of Michael.” “But everything ended well,” Terrence smiles slightly, takes Raquelle’s hand, and starts caressing the inside of her wrist tenderly, still hugging her around the shoulders with a free arm. “Yeah… And I’m madly happy…” “I know it sounds a little stupid, but I thought I heard your voice in my head,” Terrence confesses. “As if the wind brought your words to me, telling me not to give up and to believe in my salvation.” “Really?” Raquelle opens her mouth. “Yes. And thanks to that, I found the strength to hold on.” “My gosh… I really thought about that! About you being my hero! My role model! I was imagining myself talking to you and saying all those things to you.” “Hard to believe it… But it’s definitely the truth.” “I thought you could feel it and decided to try to tell you my mind.” “That’s what gave me confidence and a wish not to give up ‘till the end. Gave me hope and belief that I had all the time.” “I couldn’t get rid of the horrible presentiment that wasn’t leaving me for a second. I thought Michael was doing something horrible to you, Natalia, or Edward while I was on the way… Or something more horrifying than I imagined was happening there.” Raquelle sighs heavily with sadness on her face. “And I wasn’t wrong…” “Yeah, I was under a threat to die from a shoot several times,” Terrence replies, moving his eyes to the ocean, recalling the moments when a cold gun was pointed at him, swallowing up nervously with a feeling of tension in his whole body. “It’s terrible when someone points a gun at you, and you understand your life is about to break. I was really scared.” “I don’t even wanna think about it…” “But do you know what’s more horrifying?” Terrence glances at Raquelle. “That’s the moment when your close people may die before your eyes.” “I understand. Death of your close people is always terrible.” “But the most horrible thing is that you think you’d have to see it. See someone’s death.” “It doesn’t matter if you watch or not. It scares you and makes you feel terrible anyway.” Raquelle glances down and sighs heavily. “I do know well what losing close people is… And knowing how they died…” Raquelle gets sadness in her eyes when thinking of Elizabeth and Jackson Cameron, her late parents, who died many years ago in a car accident because of Simon Ringer. Terrence kind of reads Raquelle’s mind, presses the girl to himself, and puts his chin on her shoulder, sometimes touching her cheek and temple with his nose and leaving a couple of short kisses on them. “I get it, my happiness,” Terrence says softly and moves a couple of strands of Raquelle’s hair off her forehead. “Losing your parents is a great pain. But the most terrible thing is when they don’t die from natural causes. When the cause is provoked by someone or something. It makes the pain much stronger.” “I’ll probably never accept everything that happened,” Raquelle replies quietly and exhales sharply. “It shouldn’t have happened. If not for that stinker Ringer, my parents would’ve been alive and healthy.” “Sadly, sometimes people go crazy over love and are ready for anything, not thinking that someone doesn’t need it. So, Ringer gave a damn about your mother’s feelings and refused to accept the fact that she chose another man.” “Ah, Terrence…” Raquelle grabs Terrence’s arms with her hands, while he hugs her around the shoulders, and caresses them. “You’re so lucky to have both parents. Even if you haven’t spoken to your father, you have him and a mother.” “Agree, I’m really lucky I have both parents. That I’m not alone and can ask more experienced people for help or advice.” “Appreciate them, sweetie. Appreciate them now, while they’re alive. And don’t forget them when their time to die comes. Do your best to make them happy. Because you never know what might happen tomorrow.” “You know, Raquelle…” Terrence pronounces thoughtfully. “When Edward said Father allegedly died, I started to think that I did an unfair thing to that man. I did really start to regret not saying goodbye to him, and I thought I’d regret that ‘till the end of my life.” “Would you have agreed to talk to him if you’d known he was about to die?” “I think, yes. If I’d done it, I would’ve hardly regretted not listening to my mother and not contacting my father.” Terrence falls into silence for two seconds, looking at the ocean with sadness in his eyes. “However, I started to think about it when Edward hinted that I could be deceived. When I told him about the conflict between my parents. And the false death of Father made me think about it much more…” “And don’t you still wanna see him?” “I do, but I need to get ready for that. I’m not ready to see him yet, and I want to come to myself a little. Though, I know I have very little time. I’d like to solve this problem before the start of the hearing not to feel embarrassed.” “In this case, you must make a decision by yourself. Everything depends only on you, Terrence. Sadly, I can’t impact you.” “I don’t think you wouldn’t impact me. Sometimes you hit the bullseye and say the right things. So, I must ask you for advice when I need to know someone’s opinion.” “Yes, I know, but in this case, everything depends only on your wish. On your wish to speak to your father. Nobody will make this decision for you. This time, you should think about everything and decide it.” “I know, Raquelle. But I’ve said what I’m thinking about it.” “Nobody rushes you. I think now your mother will not insist and will wait for you to get ready for this talk. If you know all the truth that she wanted to tell you, there’s no point in rushing.” “Sure.” “And remember, no matter what kind of decision you make, I’ll support you anyway. If you wanna speak to your father, I’ll be happy. And if you decide you can’t forgive him, it’s your right.” “Thanks a lot, my sunshine,” Terrence smiles shyly and kisses Raquelle tenderly on the forehead, holding her by the back of her head. “Thanks for supporting me.” “It couldn’t be otherwise,” Raquelle smiles widely. Terrence, hugging Raquelle tighter, snuggles his nose in her shoulder, and she tenderly caresses his head and kisses him cutely on his temple. Silence settles in the air for a few seconds that might be broken by the sounds of the tidal waves. “Listen, maybe, we should stop talking about bad and sad things?” Terrence suggests with a slight smile. “Actually, I was gonna forget bad things.” “Well, if you really want it, I’m ready to help you a little,” Raquelle replies in a low, nice voice with a slight smile. “A little?” Terrence smiles mysteriously, looking at Raquelle. “Sorry… I, naive idiot, hoped you’d help me get lost… Show me how beautiful life could be. Especially when you have your beloved person by your side.” “As if I mind it.” “Well, I don’t know what’s on your wonderful head.” Terrence caresses Raquelle tenderly on the head and slaps her slightly on the nose. “Maybe, you planned something.” “Oh, dear Mr. MacClife, I’m gonna say more! I planned something grandiose a long time ago. Something that you’re gonna love.” “And what’s that?” “Aha, I don’t wanna tell you!” “At least, hint on what to expect from you,” Terrence says with pity in his eyes and moves some part of Raquelle’s hair off her shoulder. “Beauty… Don’t be bad…” “Gonna say nothing!” “But why?” “You’ll know much!” “Please…” Raquelle does not let Terrence speak and shuts him up softly with a tender, continuous kiss on the lips. But when she steps back, she leans her head back, leaning on his shoulder with the back of her head, and looks at him with a sly smile, while he chuckles quietly. “Don’t think if you shit me up with a kiss, I’ll forget what I wanna know,” Terrence says in a low, nice voice. “I’m not gonna hide it,” Raquelle replies thoughtfully. “You’ll know. Later. When I want.” “Want me to show everything I can and remind you who rules everything?” Terrence tenderly caresses the front of Raquelle’s neck with his fingertips, using the fact that her head is leaned back and placed on his shoulder, while another hand slides down to her crotch, which he caresses with his fingertips. “If you forgot who I am, you’ll quickly remember that.” “You will remember who you messed up with. Remember, you messed up with the girl that wouldn’t dance attendance upon you and look into your eyes like a dog.” Raquelle swallows up nervously and exhales loudly when Terrence grabs her by the throat and barely touches her lips with his lips. “Of course, I madly love you… But honestly, it’s gonna be boring to obey you and be a good girl. I don’t wanna die from boredom, you know…” “Yes, that’s my girl!” Terrence exclaims with a sly smile, hugs Raquelle around the waist from behind, and runs his lips tenderly over her half-open mouth. “The reason I love you is your unruliness. I’ve always gotten attracted to bad, untamed bitches. They’re madly interesting. It’s cool when you don’t know what to expect from a girl: either she’s gonna be a shy and innocent cutie or become a confident, fateful woman that would slay anyone.” “You’re the one to blame for that, sweetheart,” Raquelle smiles innocently. “You got what you wanted.” “Am I guilty that nature made you such a hot chick? That loves making me nervous.” “Actually, I was planning to spend my life with a shy and decent guy. And I never dreamed of a volcano of emotions.” “Your grandfather planned it. But at heart, you wanted something different.” “Oh, yeah, I did want an unfamiliar man to feel me up on the first meeting and try to kiss me!” “But you did like it!” Terrence leaves a short kiss on Raquelle’s lips and squeezes her breast tenderly with one hand, making her exhale sensually with a feeling of a stopped heart. “You liked the way I caressed your gorgeous body.” “Yeah, and what?” “I quickly realized that you were much hotter and sexier than it seemed.” Terrence runs his hand through Raquelle’s hair two moments later, feeling how it’s soft and nice to touch. “So, I couldn’t miss a chance. And you’ve become my girl. And soon, you will become mine by law.” “Oh, gosh, it’s been one and a half years, but you’re still the same.” “I hope you got time to realize how lucky you were to get me.” Terrence gets Raquelle involved in a tender, continuous kiss on the lips, which she answers with a sensual moan. His hand holds her strongly by the throat, but then it squeezes both of her breasts confidently. That’s why she feels the warmth between her legs and presses herself instinctively much tighter to the man’s body. “Haven’t you forgotten you’re still the reason why I’m still alive?” Terrence asks softly, leaving a few kisses on the curve of Raquelle’s neck. “Never forget it,” Raquelle replies with a smile, caresses Terrence’s cheek softly, and closes her eyes when his lips touch tenderly the skin on the front of her neck. “You’re the reason why I’m living…” “Aw, sweetheart…” Terrence runs his fingers through Raquelle’s hair and lets them go through the soft strands. “And I will always be proud of you because you can be very brave and confident when the case is about your close people.” “It seems like I hear some madly nice music.” Raquelle rolls her eyes with a slight smile and rubs the top of her head against Terrence’s cheek. “M-m-m…” “It's the case when the person has all the best: beauty, brains, kindness, and bravery. And how loyal you can be. What you can do for your close people.” “Yeah, you forgot to mention that I’m terribly headstrong, a little capricious, and absolutely untamed.” “I love you anyway, even despite these shortcomings. Your dignities outstand them. And I don’t think being untamed is a weakness. As I said, that’s what I madly like about you.” “Terrence…” Raquelle gets blushed. “It’s true, my love.” Terrence hugs Raquelle tightly with both arms and snuggles his nose in her shoulder for two seconds. “If I had to die for you, I would do it without a doubt.” “Me too,” Raquelle smiles shyly, takes Terrence’s hand, and starts drawing some senseless patterns on it. “I’d give my life for you if I had to. I’m really ready for any sacrifices for those I love. Even put me in danger.” “I believe you.” “Family and friends are very important to me. And I’m terribly afraid to lose at least one of my close people. I have only those, who I’m sure about, by my side. Who would never betray me. Would never go against me for their goals.” “And, am I one of them?” “Undoubtedly,” Raquelle smiles widely. “Could you think you’re not?” “I didn’t think. And I’ve never doubted that you love your close people with all your heart. No matter what people say, you’re the best and most beloved one for me. And I love you, no matter what you do or say.” “Although you sometimes act like an egoistic peacock and show too much aggression, I love you anyway. Whatever you are. Your mistakes don’t make the feelings that I have in my heart weaker. Moreover… I think the more time is gone, the stronger I love you. I don’t know if there’s a limit to the power of love, but now I understand I can’t live without you. Without you, there won’t be the other part of me.” “You described what I feel for you,” Terrence replies with a smile. “But you know it well. I don’t have to remind you of my love, which is getting stronger every day.” “But you do need it. And I have the pleasure of making your wish come true, and not to let you forget you’re irresistible and loved by me.” “Yeah, this is me…” Terrence raises his head proudly raised. “Maybe, I will become quieter someday. But the thing that will never change is my wish to be necessary for someone and hear that I’m a hot-blooded horse that could do anything.” “I can’t deny it.” “You won’t dare to!” Terrence smiles mysteriously, running his hand over Raquelle’s cheek and a curve of her neck. “And if you don’t wanna make my wish come true, I’ll quickly fix it, and you will call me my king.” “Yeah, your fateful side would always get out. When you show some sentimentalism, you later become too passionate again.” “You underestimate me ‘cause I can be different. Absolutely different. Of course, my passionate side will always dominate. But if I want, I can easily show something different.” “Prove it, then,” Raquelle suggests with some challenge in her eyes. “Show me how tender you can be.” “Easy! I can speak beautifully and always know what to say to make any girl smile.” “Not by words, my honey, but by actions.” Raquelle runs her fingertips over Terrence’s cheek and then sets her half-closed eyes on his lips, slightly biting hers. “Or will you make me get control of everything? But if I dominate, I can’t promise that I’ll stay a shy and sweet girl.” “Well, if you want it, I will have the pleasure of showing you everything I can,” Terrence replies in a low, nice voice, tenderly caressing Raquelle’s cheek. “Today, I wanna have much fun and forget everything…” “Go then!” Raquelle puts her head on Terrence’s shoulder, leaning on it with the back of her head, and confidently looks into his eyes with a smile. “I’m all yours.” Terrence and Raquelle look into each other’s eyes for a few seconds. She is tightly holding the man by his hands, which he locks on her chest, and he moves a strand of hair off her face at some moment. But after hesitating a little, MacClife, Sr., softly grabs the girl by the neck and confidently shortens the distance between their faces. At first, he caresses her fiancé’s cheek and then tenderly touches the hair on the back of his head. And after examining her face better, Terrence softly touches Raquelle’s lips with his lips, tenderly squeezing, pulling, and sucking both of them. The girl, leaning her head back, tenderly runs her fingers over the man’s hair and moans quietly from pleasure, feeling that she gets a little dizziness, and all the muscles of her body get tense. At first, this kiss seems very tender and sweet. But slowly, they make it deeper and start forgetting about the tenderness they showed first. The man softly holds the girl by the throat and caresses tenderly the front of it with his fingertips and her collarbones that show up slightly for some time. While his other hand caresses her hair, shoulders, and arms, and stays on the inside of the lady’s thighs. But then Raquelle turns on Terrence, puts one arm around the man’s neck confidently, and gives much more pressure to the kiss that she continues. At this moment, she is caressing his back, playing with the hair on his head and caressing his cheek with another hand, and putting one of her hands on his wide, masculine shoulder. Terrence does not rush to let his passion out and literally eat the girl that drives him crazier and becomes the reason why his heart is beating much faster, and his breath is getting much heavier and more uneven. His hands just caress and grab her face and neck, get through strands of her hair, and caress her shoulders and forearms, doing all of that very slowly and smoothly for a wish to enjoy this moment as much as possible and examine every single centimeter of the beloved girl better. “Damn, you’re so imitable,” Terrence purrs with a wide smile, starting to kiss Raquelle’s lips, some parts of her face, shoulders, and arms. “Stunning… Just a goddess…” “You always know how to make good things for me.” Raquelle rolls her eyes with a shy smile, while her fingers get through the black strands of Terrence’s hair, and exhales sharply when he leaves a couple of kisses on the area a little lower than her chin. “Yeah…” “And you dared to ask me to be tender and forget about passion.” Terrence chuckles quietly and gives Raquelle a short but confident kiss on the lips. “How could it actually be possible? How could I stay quiet when I’m with a cutie that can wake up all my instincts and emotions? I already wanna eat you entirely!” “But if you learned to control them and let them out at the right time, you could get greater pleasure.” “I don’t wanna contain it. I want you. Only you.” Terrence grabs Raquelle’s face tightly with a heavy breath and gets her involved in a passionate kiss, stopping holding himself down and making any of his wishes come true. If he wants to caress the girl’s mouth with his tongue, he quietly does it. Bite her lip or two – no problem. Suck them a little – with great pleasure. The smell of her body and the flower perfume cloud his mind more and more, make him feel slight dizziness, and make his heart beat much faster. And as long as he is getting excited, the man gets looser and starts to caress the curves of the girl’s waist and her tough thighs, which he squeezes with pleasure by this moment. Raquelle herself does not hold down her emotions and expands the zone of caresses, running her hands over his arms, shoulders, neck, face, head, and tough, wide chest of Terrence, moaning from pleasure sometimes and feeling how it’s hard for her to breathe. “And it’s just a beginning, babe,” Terrence says with a mysterious smile and runs his lips over Raquelle’s cheek. “The further I go, the better you will feel.” “Oh, c’mon!” Raquelle chuckles shyly. “Don’t worry, I don’t rush.” Terrence leaves a couple of short kisses on the curve of Raquelle’s neck and runs his open mouth over the skin of it. “I can caress you for hours.” “Turned on the self-confident rooster mode? Started to think I’d be lying at your feet after you looked at me?” “Don’t provoke me, Cameron. You know how it will end for you.” “I can pretend that I got scared and put my tail between my legs.” Raquelle starts running her hands slowly over Terrence’s chest with a sly smile. “I can do a lot… I can do something that you’ll never forget.” “I’ll give you a chance to command. But now I do rule everything.” Terrence grabs Raquelle by the throat tightly but softly and raises his head proudly, showing his absolute confidence. “And you will have to do what I tell you.” “You said I was untamed. So, pretty boy, you’ll waste your time.” “We will see it. As I said, I still have hope to make you a good girl. And I shall get it in any way.” Terrence sharply strikes Raquelle on the sand, raises himself above her, and does not give her time to understand, kissing her on the lips greedily. She gets strongly tense at first, moans something quietly, and resists, but later her body sharply relaxes, and she answers to this hot way to show passion. The man tightly grabs her wrists and presses them to the sand to make her motionless, and caresses the girl’s lips with his mouth and tongue, sucking them, biting them tenderly, and pulling them slightly. And some time later, he grabs tightly the face of the brunette making sensitive sighs, and keeps kissing her lips and examining her mouth with his tongue. Raquelle puts her arms around Terrence’s neck, caresses or scratches his back, and strokes his little disheveled hair. Her breath is getting heavier and more uneven. The heart starts beating much faster. Its sound echoes somewhere in her head. All the muscles of the body are tense. And there is some easiness in the head. The anxiety and bad thoughts are gone. All the attention is on the emotions she is getting from her beloved man. At some moment, Terrence puts his nose in the curve of Raquelle’s neck and slightly rubs it against it. That’s why she feels a slight tickle and shyly laughs. But her laugh quickly gets replaced with quiet moans and loud sighs when the man just runs his lips over the curve of her attractive neck and covers every single part of it with tender kisses. Later, he leaves slight bites and pinches on it and runs his tongue over some parts, on which he breathes with a cold and hot breath. All her emotions, feelings, and reactions of the body are getting stronger, and she feels relaxed and enjoys what’s happening. A little later, Terrence covers Raquelle’s collarbones with kisses, tenderly squeezing and caressing the girl’s breasts. That’s why her moans are getting louder and more sensitive, and she bends her back backward with closed eyes. One touch of the man’s lips to any part of the feminine body is enough to make her feel unearthly pleasure. His skillful caress drives her crazy and causes a strong wish to get closer to this man. Who makes her shake and feel a tormenting tension somewhere in her abdomen when he opens a part of her belly with his nose and caresses it tenderly with both hands. “Oh, my gosh…” Raquelle pronounces in a little hoarse voice at one breath and unconsciously gets her thighs tense with a sensual sigh. “Damn… Oh… You’re so imitable…” “Did you dare to doubt me?” Terrence asks in a low voice with a sly smile, and leaves a few more light kisses on Raquelle’s belly, as his hands caress her thighs. “Of course, I didn’t doubt it. I don’t doubt you’re gonna bring me to a heart attack someday.” “And I didn't doubt you’d give in to me anyway.” Terrence exhales with enjoyment, running his lips over the skin on Raquelle’s belly, holding her by the curves of her waist. “Damn, baby, you drive me crazy, baby… Your smell is fucking dizzying… Oh, yeah…” “Bastard…” Raquelle exhales sharply, breathing heavily and loudly enough. “You know my weaknesses… Ah… Holy shit…” “You’re awesome, as well, bitch!” Terrence massages Raquelle’s breasts tenderly, runs his lips over the part that is seen from her shirt, and covers one of the curves of her neck and the front of it with kisses with a heavy breath. “Doing everything to drive me crazy. Even if you were lying like a log, you’d drive me insane with just your look.” “But I don’t…” Raquelle makes a loud moan with closed eyes and bends backward slightly when Terrence leaves a kiss in the hole of her throat. “Ah, fuck!” “Ar-r-r, I’d take the clothes off you and fuck you right now!” Terrence gives Raquelle a continuous kiss on the lips, caressing her breasts like a boss and confidently getting his hand underneath the lady’s shirt. “M-m-m… Yeah, babe…” “Oh, yeah… Do what you want to me.” Raquelle rolls her eyes with a shake when Terrence caresses her ear with his lips and leaves a tender kiss on the area behind it. “Damn… Oh… M-m-m… Ugh…” “Quite, quite, beauty, don’t yell so loudly,” Terrence says quietly, softly closing Raquelle’s mouth with a hand, while his other hand raises her shirt much more, and caresses the lady’s naked belly. “Que-e-e-et…” Terrence moves his hand to Raquelle’s crotch and caresses the inside of her thighs tenderly. “It’s okay… It’s okay…” “M-m-m…” Raquelle makes a loud, sensual moan, starting to move her thighs slowly and bending her back with the feeling that she gets an electric shock in her body. “Sh-h-h, relax, sweetie, relax,” Terrence says quietly, caresses her crotch confidently, and gets his hand underneath the lady’s jeans to tease her with a little stimulation of the clitoris. “Sh-h-h-h…” Raquelle makes a loud moan again with closed eyes and a feeling that her heart stopped for a moment. The way she is bending like a cat literally gets Terrence charmed. He is entirely enjoying the process and not hiding his pride when seeing the reaction of the girl, who gets obsessed with an all-embracing ecstasy. “Breathe quietly, don’t be tense.” Terrence continues to speak with a sly smile, tenderly massaging Raquelle’s breasts, caressing her belly a little when she raises the bottom of her body, placing his hand on it, and feeling how much her muscles are tense. “Come on, babe, relax! Why are you so tense?” Raquelle cannot answer because Terrence still keeps her mouth closed with a hand and can only moan, bend backward like a cat, and shake her thighs, breathing heavily enough with dizziness and shaking after every single touch of the man’s hands. And he teases the girl much more, caressing her crotch and the inside of her thighs tenderly and stimulating the lady’s tough nipples. “It’s okay, I'm doing nothing bad,” Terrence says in a low, soft voice, breathing quite hard and feeling a little tense but confident, and slaps Raquelle tenderly on her thighs. “Relax your butts… Don’t get so tense.” Terrence runs his fingertips over Raquelle’s collarbones, the front of her neck, and the hole in it, while she moans quietly and rolls her eyes, feeling that the nice warmth is spreading all over her body. “Sh-h-h… Relax and get pleasure…” Terrence leaves a tender, exciting kiss on the front of Raquelle’s neck and caresses it with his lips. “You aren’t wet enough for me to get you now. You ain’t ready yet…” Terrence, not letting her have time to understand and say something, sharply kisses Raquelle on the more or less big red lips, holding her face with the palm of his hand. That’s why the girl shakes with a feeling of a stopped heart, but answers him back immediately, putting one hand on his shoulder and running another through his hair and starting to pull it slightly. She starts caressing his mouth with her tongue first with a sensual breath, pleasing the man’s ear with her quiet moans, pressing her fiancé as closely as possible to her, and running her hands over his back. At some moment, Terrence leaves a couple of kisses on the area behind Raquelle’s ear that he tenderly grabs with his mouth, and on the chin. Then he just runs his mouth and the tip of his tongue over the curve of her neck, slightly bites some places, and kisses literally every single centimeter. His hands are still caressing the breasts and belly of the girl. And his fingers get through her hair covered with sand and stimulate her nipples. Later, he goes back to kissing her abdomen and uses the tip of his tongue, which slides over some part of this beautiful part of the feminine body. While its owner keeps ruffling the man’s hair and caressing his blushed face, not holding herself down in expressing her emotions. At some moment, when Terrence wants to kiss Raquelle on the lips again, she, still lying on the sand, sharply presses the heated man to herself and gets him involved in a hot kiss, pulling her fiancé’s hair strongly, running her fingers through his soft strands, caressing his back with both hands, and holding or caressing the face or neck of her sweetheart. And when he loses control of the situation and gives in to this fateful beauty, she easily strikes down the sand, sits over him, and kisses him on the lips much more passionately and greedily, starting to bite, pull, and squeeze every one of them, feeling super confident and being persistent. MacClife, Sr., does not even think of resisting the one that makes his blood rush in his veins, running his hands over her back and confidently caressing her thighs and squeezing her buttocks. He does not hold down a quiet moan when her tongue ends up in his mouth and starts to work in it skillfully. The minds of the two are blown away by strong excitement and incredible emotions. None of them tries to control themselves or even think of resisting. It’s impossible to stay indifferent to such skillful caresses of the most sensitive areas. Their breath is uneven, their faces are red, their smiles are true and wide, and their hair looks disheveled. The heart keeps beating crazily, the dizziness is still up, and the body gets obsessed with a strong heat and shakes after every single action of the one, who knows what to do. “Damn, you’re so wild!” Terrence exhales sharply during a short break and smiles widely when Raquelle tenderly looks at him from up to down. “Yes, I’m wild,” Raquelle replies with a sly smile and bites her lip slightly, while her hands are confidently rubbing Terrence’s tough chest. “Because of you. You made me the one.” “I did?” Terrence chuckles quietly and smiles innocently. “I actually did nothing! I’m lying quietly on the sand and getting pleasure… But you got so excited as if I was caressing you for two hours and touching all your most sensitive areas.” “Just one gaze of you is enough for me to dream of tearing your clothes.” “Right. I should caress you only for five minutes for you to be ready to do anything for me.” “Now, you will get so excited that you’ll be whining loudly and begging me to stop doing it.” Raquelle grabs Terrence’s ear with her lips, tenderly kisses the area behind it, and brings her face to it to whisper. “Get ready to take your pants off, babe. You’re gonna feel very good soon.” Raquelle kisses Terrence on the lips again, tightly holding his face in her hands, while he keeps his hands on her buttocks and sometimes caresses her thighs. And after a short, passionate kiss with a tongue, the girl bites, sucks, and licks both of his lips. Then she leaves a few kisses on the curves of his neck and the front of it with sensual moans, bending her back backward. That’s why he rolls his eyes with a heavy breath and feels he shakes slightly, and his heart stops after every single touch of the feminine tender lips to the thin, sensitive skin on this part of the body. “Oh, yay, babe, you know how to drive your lord insane…” Terrence rolls and closes his eyes with enjoyment and a wide smile, and exhales sharply when Raquelle slightly bites the area on the curve of his neck. “Keep doing this, yeah…” “Well, if you want it and are still able to take it, it’s okay,” Raquelle smiles mysteriously. “I’d be happy.” Raquelle goes lower, covering Terrence’s open collarbones with kisses, getting her hands underneath his T-shirt, and starting to caress his stomach with great pleasure. She can feel his tough six-pack and understands how much his muscles are tense. Being red from the excitement, the man starts breathing louder and heavier when his fiancée raises his t-shirt and starts covering his stomach with kisses, giving special attention to his abdomen, which is very sensitive to this type of caress. It makes his body shake strongly and get much tenser. And MacClife, Sr., himself gets obsessed with a wave of heat and slight dizziness. “Damn, sometimes life can be wonderful,” Terrence says in a little hoarse voice, while Raquelle decides to give attention to other parts of the man’s torso, covering them with kisses and caressing them with her lips and hands. “Ah, fuck… Bitch… I’m gonna die… if you don't stop…” “As you often love to say, wait, babe, I just started it,” Raquelle replies with a sly smile, leaves a couple of kisses on Terrence’s chest, and runs her tongue slowly over the area under his navel. “Oh, fuck…” Terrence shakes. “You’re so hot and sexy.” Raquelle leaves a few kisses on Terrence’s neck, cheeks, and areas behind his ears. “Of course, I can start from the end and caress your penis enough. It’s so tense… And you’re so impatient and get hot literally two minutes later. But I want to torture you longer. So, you, asshole, whine and beg me to fuck you.” “Anyone would be impatient if he had to deal with such a stunning, sexy cutie, against whom even the log that’s worthless at love things couldn’t resist.” “Maybe…” Raquelle starts slightly rubbing her buttocks against Terrence’s crotch with a sly smile, seeing he is getting quite nervous and starting to breathe unevenly, while his eyes are set on her. “As I said, you wouldn’t tame me, but you can drive me crazy for a few minutes.” “The secret is simple – I’m just incredible at these things,” Terrence says with his head proudly raised, while Raquelle’s hands are sliding over his chest, and she is covering every single part of his face with kisses. “Nobody taught me. I learned it by trial and error.” “I believe you.” Raquelle leaves a few kisses on Terrence’s lips. “I do…” “Actually, I’ve never made mistakes. I’ve always known how to get any girl excited. How to make her shake and moan with just one touch of my finger. Anyone would be ready to become mine in five minutes or less. Any caresses and sex have always made girls delighted…” “Stop, MacClife, stop talking and praising yourself,” Raquelle cuts off confidently. “I don’t have time to listen to all of that.” When Terrence wants to say something, Raquelle shuts him up with a passionate kiss, tightly holding his face, applying quite a strong pressure, and sometimes moaning quietly. The man’s hands play with the girl’s hair, caress her shoulders and back, get underneath her shirt, caress her thighs confidently and squeeze and massage her buttocks tightly. She generously gives him different kisses on his lips, face, and neck: from tender and innocent to aggressive and forceful. She goes down to his stomach again, over which she runs her soft lips, and which she does not leave without exciting kisses. Moreover, the brunette gives some attention to his tough chest and nipples. It makes him breathe heavier, moan much louder, and feel a stronger affection for his fiancée. A little later, Raquelle goes back to Terrence’s stomach and slowly reaches his abdomen. She leaves just a few kisses on it and suddenly stops doing it, getting straight slowly and looking at the man with her shoulders spread and her chest sticking out. “No, no, no, don’t stop, please,” Terrence whines with a heavy breath. “Please, keep doing.” “Are you sure you want it?” Raquelle asks in a soft voice with a mysterious smile, slowly running her fingertips over Terrence’s abdomen. “Really want… Don’t stop… Continue…” “Really? Well, alright… You’ll get pleasure…” Raquelle smoothly moves her hands to the groin of Terrence, who is looking forward to something grandiose, but then she sharply moves it off, to his disappointment. “But not now!” “What?” Terrence opens his eyes widely, amazingly staring at Raquelle, who sharply gets off him. “Hey, I didn’t get it! What does it mean? Raquelle!” “I got a little tired.” Raquelle lies on the sand next to Terrence powerlessly and glances at him with a heavy breath. “It’s hard to deal with you, my sunshine. A few minutes before I’m powerless.” “Are you gonna end it now?” “If I don’t come to myself in the next five minutes, you’ll have to forget about pleasure. Sorry.” “You are crazy! How did you dare?” “Huh, so, you’re allowed to break my pleasure, but I am not?” Raquelle resents, opening her mouth. “Are you allowed to do anything?” “Yes!” “Ha! Here’s the lord!” “Actually, I am your lord, Cameron,” Terrence recalls with pride and caresses Raquelle’s naked belly with his warm hand. “Did you forget who you messed up with? The one, who must get an incredible service.” “Maybe, you go to the fuck, self-called lord with a big ego!” Raquelle sets her gaze on the clear blue sky with clouds in different forms, still breathing heavily as if she ran a long cross and just reached the finish and fell to the ground powerlessly. “Just because your name is Terrence MacClife doesn’t mean everybody must fall at your feet and say you’re wonderful.” Terrence looks at Raquelle kind of slyly for a few seconds before he slightly raises himself to his elbows with a proud gaze and says: “Alright, you can have some rest.” Terrence smiles slyly when Raquelle glances at him. “But later, I will deal with you. You will pay for every word like this, and remember well who Terrence MacClife is. Understand that you must take care of such a man like me like the most expensive diamond in the world.” “Relax, MacClife, better look at how beautiful the sky is,” Raquelle changes the topic, looking at the sky and biting her lip slightly. “And agree that it’s cool to lie on the sand in front of the ocean and enjoy the warm wind and the sunny weather.” “Fucking bitch!” Terrence chuckles quietly. “It’s okay, I will have some rest now and deal with you.” Raquelle says nothing and just laughs shyly and puts her hand on her belly, still looking at the blue sky and clouds. Terrence watches her for a few seconds and looks at the whole feminine body that he finds incredibly attractive. And seeing her graciously bend her leg at the knee, he swallows up because he finds it exciting. Well, every little movement of this beauty seems attractive. For example, he is delighted by the way her small, beautiful breasts raise and lower when she breathes in and breathes out. But later, he lies on the sand and sets his gaze on the sky, folding his hands on his stomach. Though, MacClife, Sr., glances at his fiancée at some moment, tenderly runs his fingers over her cheek, runs his hand through her thick hair on the top of her head, and strokes it for some time, looking at every little strand. It makes Raquelle smile shyly and close her eyes with a feeling of absolute relaxation. “Gosh, it’s so good…” Raquelle says with enjoyment. “Due to our problems, we sometimes forget what kind of happiness a human may feel. And don’t notice that there’s so much interesting around us.” “Agree,” Terrence smiles shyly and runs his thumb slowly over Raquelle’s lips, looking at them like charmed. “Sometimes we have so much to do that we forget what it means to be truly happy. Though, every single moment you spend with your beloved people is truly priceless.” “I’m very happy now.” Terrence takes Raquelle’s hand and slightly squeezes it in his hand. “Much happier than I would like. Thanks to you. The one, who became the best thing that’d ever happened in my life. I wasn’t probably as happy with someone else as I am with you.” “You speak all my thoughts.” “Maybe, I didn’t use to appreciate the time I spent with you much. But now everything is otherwise. I appreciate all the moments that we’re living. And… I can’t lie, it’s the best time of my life.” “Hey, stop saying what I’m thinking about!” Raquelle exclaims with a shy smile and slightly claps Terrence on the hand. “I’m telling the truth, sweetheart. Why should I be silent when I wanna say how lucky I am to find the one, who inspires me and supports me when I need it?” “Well, you know…” Raquelle turns onto her stomach a little lazily, while Terrence raises himself to his elbows. “I’m madly lucky to meet the one, who made me feel what I had never felt before. Who made me feel beloved and wanted. More confident. Beautiful. And… Make absolutely sure that people see what I do.” “Don’t dare to say you’re insecure and believe you’re not beautiful. Such a fucking beautiful and sexual girl just can’t be the one.” “Now I don’t doubt it.” “You must not do.” Terrence lies down again and runs his fingertips over Raquelle’s cheek. “I chose the one, who knew who she was and could slay anyone by her beauty, charm, sexuality, and ability to show herself.” “It’s definitely music for my ears…” Raquelle smiles shyly. Terrence answers with the same smile, creeps closer to Raquelle, also rolls onto his stomach, hugs her around the shoulders with an arm, tightly presses her to himself, and kisses her cutely on the temple, while she puts her head on his shoulder. Some time later, the man rolls onto his back again, puts one hand under his head, and slightly bends his legs at the knees, and the girl presses closely to him, hugging him tightly with both arms, putting her head on his chest, and clearly hearing his fast heartbeat. While MacClife, Sr., feels a nice warmth in his whole body, and there are no bad thoughts in his head. The lovers lie in this position in front of the ocean for a few seconds, looking at the sky and hearing the nice sounds of tidal waves. But later, Raquelle slowly sits up, gets up on her feet, shakes the sand off her clothes, and runs her hands through her hair to move the sand off. Then the girl slowly comes closer to the ocean and watches the waves with a slight smile, enjoying the light wind that is nicely blowing her face and hair. “What a beauty…” Raquelle pronounces quietly and smiles much wider. At some moment, Raquelle squints down and runs her hand over the surface of the water, seeing a ripple that shows up and disappears later. The girl does it several times before she gets up and starts walking across the coast. Meanwhile, Terrence, still lying on the sand with his legs bent at the knees and his hand placed under his head, looks up to the sky with a slight smile and at what is around him. But later, he glances at the girl, who is skipping near the edge of the ocean with a wide smile on her face. The man starts watching her with interest and gets busy scanning the lady’s body, imagining how much pleasure he would have kissing and caressing it. “You have a good mood?” Terrence asks. “Even too good,” Raquelle replies cheerfully. “You can’t imagine how happy I am! I am! Happy! Yea-a-a-h!” Shouting it happily, Raquelle turns on the ocean with a feeling of easiness, smiles shyly with closed eyes, and raises her hands and head. She likes the way the light cold wind touches her face tenderly and blows her loose, disheveled hair is nice to her. Terrence watches her all this time, leaning on the sand with his elbows and not being able to hide his shy smile and quiet chuckle. “Why are you so happy?” Terrence asks, paying attention to a part of Raquelle’s naked belly that looks out of the clothes when she raises her hands up. “Our problems haven’t been solved, but you’re happy as if the bad things stayed in the past.” “But the worst things are really over,” Raquelle replies happily and quietly starts to walk and skip across the coast from one side to another, sometimes fixing her hair blown by the wind. “We can stop being afraid that we’d be killed somewhere at a dark time. All my close people are safe and sound, and I have finally started to live a quiet life. My fiancé is by my side… Could I wish for more?” “Ah, my darling, I think you’re too funny,” Terrence shakes his head with a slight smile. “Of course, I’m madly happy you’re happy, but we shouldn’t relax, ‘cause the worst things are still waiting for us.” “Gosh, MacClife, what are you talking about?” Raquelle turns to Terrence and looks at him questioningly. “What’s wrong with you? You did say you wanted to distract a little!” “Yeah, but…” Terrence lies on the sand, placing his hands under his head, and starts looking at the clouds with a gloomy gaze. “I don’t wanna forget about problems.” “Damn, don’t say we’re gonna start talking about everything that’s lately happened.” “No, of course. I just think we should express happiness only when the jury returns a verdict that will be good for us.” “And would you let yourself be sad and gloomy because of that?” Raquelle, folding her hands behind her back, goes to Terrence with a wide smile. “No, sweetie, it’s wrong! Since you wanted to distract, do it then! Let yourself relax. Forget about all the problems! Otherwise, you’re gonna go insane. I know it well.” Raquelle graciously opens one of the top buttons of her shirt and sticks her chest out with her head proudly raised, running her hands slowly over them with a mysterious smile and saying in a low, velvet voice: “Could you really reject it? Reject this beauty?” Raquelle raises her breasts with both hands and massages them tenderly. “Kiss… Caress… Do whatever you want… Huh, Terrence?” “Do you think this beauty would leave me indifferent?” Terrence wonders and bites his lip slightly, looking at Raquelle from head to foot with his lusty gaze. “Such a sexy bitch…” “You can sit, but I can caress myself. Like this.” Raquelle keeps squeezing her breasts tenderly and stimulating her tough nipples with sensual moans, showing her thin, gracious neck, and keeping her back straight. “M-m-m… Like this…” “Don’t worry, babe, I shall see your gorgeous body,” Terrence says in a much lower and deeper voice. “You will not get off me so easily…” “Of course, you’ll get a chance,” Raquelle smiles slyly and kind of accidentally raises the edge of her shirt, while Terrence’s widely open eyes stop on the open part of her belly, and who swallows up nervously. “But now I’m not allowing you to undress me right now. Enjoy what you have, my sweetie.” “Well, then start a little runaway for me.” Terrence leans on the sand with his elbows again, looking at Raquelle with a mysterious smile. “Walk here for me as well as you do it on a runaway. What do they say? From the hip! And I won’t mind if you add some sex or something like that to your model walk.” “Walk like on a runaway?” Raquelle starts wrapping a strand of hair around her finger. “At least once. What if I don’t get a chance to see you walking on a runaway in a couture dress at a fashion show at the nearest time.” “Well, as you want it, I can’t refuse.” Raquelle raises her head proudly and moves her hair aside graciously. “Such a handsome guy that I wanna eat so badly.” “You’ll eat me later. Now walk here, shaking your hips.” “Okay.” Raquelle steps back at some distance with a shy smile to have more space to walk, and then, recalling everything she can do and imagining herself at a fashion show, starts walking straightly as if the beach is a runaway. She does not forget to keep her shoulders back, stick her chest out, and suck in her guts, keeping her chin straight and looking absolutely relaxed. While walking, she makes wide steps and places her legs overlapped, and shakes her hips slightly to drive Terrence crazy. While he is watching her with a wide smile on his face and not hiding his admiration for the one, who adds some sexuality, fire, and grace to her walk. After reaching a certain point, Raquelle stops and shows three poses, acting like she is at a fashion show: putting her hand on her waist, putting one finger in a belt on her jeans, and turning her side on with a slight, flirty smile. Then she turns around along with quiet applause from her fiancé, and goes straight. “Magnificent!” Terrence exclaims with admiration. “Just incredible!” “Everything’s for you, honey,” Raquelle replies shyly, stopping in front of Terrence and moving her thigh aside. “Glad you liked it.” “Walk here like this again. Please, beautiful, do this for me…” “I’d walk ten times for you.” Raquelle walks straight across the ocean again, deciding to make her walk more provocative and positive. Terrence watches the dark-haired beauty and bites his lip slightly, while his eyes are sliding over the girl’s body, paying special attention to her shaking hips that he tenderly caresses and squeezes tightly in his dreams. “Ar-r, the hellcat is good!” Terrence pronounces with a quiet growl. “My fiancée is too hot… I’d fuck this bitch right here!” “Stop staring at my backside!” Raquelle exclaims when she reaches a certain point, turns, and goes back. “And if you wanna take care of your nerves, don’t better stare.” “It’s impossible, cutie.” “Come on?” Raquelle rounds her eyes, raising the edge of her shirt kind of accidentally, showing a little bit more of her naked belly and slowly running her fingers over her breasts, and smiles slyly when seeing Terrence getting tense, and softly touches her lips. “I do nothing for you to sit here and be so restless.” “No, Raquelle, you are doing…” Terrence replies in a little hoarse voice with a heavy breath. “You’re really doing… You’re doing your best to provoke me… You do want me to take those clothes off you and possess your body right here.” “Ah, Terrence…” Raquelle laughs shyly, running her hands over her naked belly and breasts. “If I wanted you to fuck me, we’d be lying naked and coming to ourselves. After you’d caress my breasts, thighs, butts… Kiss everything… After the incredible sex…” “You reached the right place, babe. I can make all your wishes come true. Even those you’re afraid to talk about. So, as your body reacts to my caress well and shakes from just one touch of my finger, you’ll surely get much pleasure.” “Alright, stop talking!” Raquelle replies cheerfully. “It’s time to shake up a little!” “I know only one way to shake up. To let your beloved man caress your body and do the same to his body.” Terrence strokes down his hair with a proud look. “If you leave it to someone to know how to do it, you can get unforgettable pleasure.” “Yeah, but at first I wanna play a little… Fool around… Feel like a child, at least for a while…” “Okay… And what are your suggestions?” “I have one idea…” Raquelle steps back from the sofa with a mysterious smile and starts to go backward slowly, looking at Terrence as if she tells him to follow her. “C’mon, MacClife, get up! I’m gonna get the bad things out of your mind.” “Oh, did you decide to start a race on the whole coast?” “Maybe, I did,” Raquelle replies with a mysterious smile in a lower, deep voice, still going backward with a challenge to Terrence. “It’s good for your health and gives you some energy…” “M-m-m…” Terrence, squinting his eyes slightly, sits up slowly and starts shifting his weight on one arm. “You’re starting this game to ask for trouble, Raquelle Cameron. You know well who runs better. You know I’d catch you for a few seconds.” “I am ready to risk!” Raquelle says confidently and half rolls the sleeves of her denim jacket. “And do my best for you to get a little tortured.” “So… Okay then… You asked for great trouble. So, come here, my sweet girl.” Terrence gets up on his feet quickly, shakes the sand off him even if he still has it on his clothes, and takes a step forward. Raquelle quickens a step and then actually starts running when the man begins to chase her. She does not stop laughing playfully and sometimes looks back, seeing her fiancé does not leave her behind. He got a goal to catch his fiancée and deal with her in his way. However, they get tons of positive emotions, are running on the coast, and are playing catch with pleasure. Raquelle runs some distance straightly and then starts running in circles and making sharp twists, smiling widely at Terrence unsuccessfully trying to catch his fiancée, who provokes him and wakes up the passion inside him. Every time he catches her, she sharply moves off and runs to another side with a laugh, and sometimes splashes water from the ocean or throws sand. But the girl notices that the man gets less gloomy, not being able to resist the sonorous laugh and stunning smile of the beauty. This run continues for some time before Raquelle makes a step slower to have some rest. But when she turns back, she does not see Terrence, who kind of disappeared in the air, even though there is only sand and the ocean around. “MacClife!” Raquelle pronounces loudly with a heavy breath. “Where are you! Show up now! Terrence! Where are you, the lord of roosters?” But Terrence does not show up a few seconds later. “Hey, where did that lusty male go?” Raquelle chuckles quietly, putting her hands on her hips. “Terrence, where are the fuck you! Oh… Wait, pretty boy, just try to show up here. I shall kick your ass, so that you remember it! You will not hide from me.” Raquelle looks into the distance for a few seconds before Terrence, who was hiding behind a big stone placed far from here, creeps quietly to her from behind, closes her mouth with a hand for a few seconds, and tightly hugs her by the waist with both arms. Although the girl makes a quiet squeak and shakes slightly, she does not get scared and smiles when she feels how the strong and warm arms are embracing her confidently, and when her beloved man puts his head on her shoulder and then puts his nose in the curve of her neck and rubs it tenderly against the one. “Ah, there you are!” Raquelle exclaims. “You’ve lost, Raquelle Cameron…” Terrence says in Raquelle’s ear in a low, deep voice with a sly smile. “I did tell you not to mess up with me.” “Aha, it doesn’t count! You made me distracted by deceiving me! It’s not honest!” “It is honest! Don’t forget, when you make me run after you, I can easily catch you anyway.” “Huh, you were running like a snail this time!” Raquelle chuckles. “Like a turtle! I had very many chances to catch you and kick your ass. That deserves a good kick.” “Oh, oh, how rude you are…” Terrence gets a hand underneath Raquelle’s shirt and caresses her belly tenderly, while another hand is massaging her breasts. “Be careful with words, baby. Otherwise, you will ask for trouble.” “Ah, I’d ask for trouble one hundred times for this…” Raquelle exhales slowly with closed eyes, leaning her head back and shaking when Terrence tenderly kisses her on the area behind her ear, breathes on the area he kissed with a hot breath, and touches it with his lips. “Oh, gosh… Ah…” “So, like it?” Terrence runs his lips slowly over the curve of Raquelle’s neck, strokes the front of her throat tenderly with his fingertips, gets another hand underneath her jeans, and caresses her crotch, not hiding his wide smile when he sees the girl getting quite tense and making sensitive moans. “I did tell you that I got the perfect skill of seduction and caressing ladies’ bodies. No girl has been able to resist this enjoyment.” “Shit, what a scumbag you are,” Raquelle replies in a low, little hoarse voice with a quiet chuckle, breathing heavily enough and feeling a strong tension in her body, while Terrence is caressing her breasts incredibly and feels her clitoris that he slowly stimulates. “I hate you… I hate…” “You know, cutie, I got better.” Terrence squeezes Raquelle’s breasts much tighter, actively starts to stimulate her tough nipples, and leaves a few kisses on the curve of her neck and the area behind her ear, over which he runs his half-open mouth. “Come on?” Raquelle makes a quiet moan with a heavy breath and closes her eyes, feeling the muscles of her stomach squeezing strongly. “Thanks to you. Thanks to the fact that you distract me and make me think of something good and nice.” “I had a goal to shake you up. And I got it, as I think…” “You did.” Terrence grabs Raquelle by the hips with both hands and leaves a couple of kisses on another curve of her neck, while she leans her head back. “At least, now, I can tell all my problems to go to the fuck and remember that there are little things that could give you great pleasure.” “Nice to hear it,” Raquelle replies with a slight smile and moans quietly when Terrence leaves a few tender kisses on the front of her neck, while his hands are placed on her belly. “And I hope you’ll help me spend the best day in a while.” Terrence tenderly caresses Raquelle’s cheek. “Really, beautiful?” “If I didn’t wanna help you, I’d get into my car and go home,” Raquelle laughs with a sly smile and falls into silence for a second, rolling her eyes. “And leave you here!” “Leave me here?” Terrence moves sharply his surprised look to Raquelle and moves his face off her. “What?” “If you’re behaving badly, I’ll have to do it,” Raquelle replies in a low, soft voice, fixing Terrence’s hair that got disheveled because of the strong wind and a too wild caress. “You’re my very bad boy, and I need to kick you at least at times. So, you don’t go too far.” “Why am I a bad boy? I am the best and most obedient one! Ask anyone – everyone could confirm it!” “I asked. And everybody says you’re a very bad boy that must get his ass kicked regularly.” “Said by the girl that someone must punish a little, as well.” Terrence sharply turns Raquelle on himself, touches her nose with the tip of his nose, and runs his open mouth slowly over every single part of her face, tightly hugging her by the waist, while she puts her hands on his forearms. “Though, I wouldn’t call it a punishment because she goes insane when she gets such passionate rudeness.” “Maybe, there’s a part of the truth about it…” “I wasn’t wrong when I thought you’d be freaking hot and passionate.” Terrence grabs Raquelle by the throat and by the hair tightly but softly with the other hand, but she stays quiet and keeps looking into his eyes confidently. “But my magnificent skills helped you discover what was hidden somewhere deep inside you.” “I can’t deny it… You, bastard, made me as insolent and confident as you.” “Ar-r, how sexually bad words about me sound from your mouth,” Terrence groans with enjoyment, letting Raquelle’s hair go, running a free hand over her back and stopping it on her buttocks that he tightly squeezes. “It gets me so-o-o excited…” “I couldn’t expect anything else from the crazy man,” Raquelle smiles innocently, softly steps back from Terrence, turns her back on him, and goes a few steps back. “A sick, lusty male…” “Not a sick man, babe, but a hot horse full of fire.” Terrence comes to Raquelle and puts his arm around her waist and puts another around her shoulders, hugging her as tightly as possible, tenderly kissing her on the curve of her neck, and slightly biting a thin skin on it. “Although I can be a romantic, the passionate side of mine dominates much more.” “That’s why you’ll never be a good guy,” Raquelle replies confidently, wrapping Terrence’s arms, with which he is embracing her. “I don’t wanna be a good guy. It’s boring. Being a bad boy is cooler and more interesting!” Terrence runs his hand underneath Raquelle’s shirt and caresses her soft, flat belly, confidently looking into the girl’s eyes, while she understands that her heartbeat echoes in her head. “Ar-r-r, damn, you drive me crazier and crazier… Your smell… It’s just incredible…” “Get your lusty thoughts out of your mind. Whatever you want, I’m not going to be a part of your lusty fantasies.” “Are you sure?” Terrence squeezes Raquelle’s breasts tightly with a free hand and gets another underneath her jeans and feels the clitoris that he starts to stimulate slowly, feeling that the girl moaning quietly and squeezes her thighs slightly. “You could get much more than this… Could you really reject this? I’d personally give anything for your soft lips to kiss me, and your tender hands to caress my ‘pal.’” “I don’t even need to look at you to be sure you’re planning something perverted.” Raquelle glances at Terrence smiling slyly and looks at him closely. “Yeah, I thought so.” “Yup, I agree…” Terrence replies thoughtfully, rolling his eyes. “Now I wanna have some fun and play the fool.” “What if I say, ‘no’ to you?” “You will not dare.” Terrence leans Raquelle’s head back with one light movement, kisses the front of her neck several times and her attractive collarbones, running his half-open mouth over these parts and leaving wet paths on them with the tip of his tongue. “Only a crazy girl could reject this pleasure.” “Think I’m crazy!” Raquelle steps back from Terrence softly with a mysterious smile. “You can kick and kiss me one hundred times, but it won’t be enough for me to be ready to make any of your wishes come true.” And when Raquelle goes two steps back and keeps going backward, Terrence starts going on her, not stopping smiling and looking into her eyes confidently. “I’m sure about my success like nobody else,” Terrence says confidently. “I’m sure about mine not less than you, honey,” Raquelle replies not less confidently. “Stop playing these games and pretending to be a hard-to-reach one.” “Calm down, Terrence, I’m not gonna play something with you.” “You did start it all! If it’s so, I’m going to bring the case to an end and deal with one bad bitch that I must kick a little for not being obedient.” When Terrence does a sharp step forward, Raquelle sharply runs aside with a sly smile. The man shakes his head with a quiet chuckle and starts chasing the girl, who is not stopping to thrill with loud laughter. A little later, MacClife, Sr., looks around, gets some water in his hand from the ocean, catches his fiancée for a few seconds, and sprays her. Though, she avoids it with a funny shout. Then he does the same two more times when the water gets on her. So, she gets some water in her hand and throws it over the man. But Terrence sharply jumps aside like a boiling kettle. Thus, they splash water over each other again and again, not holding down a wish to whoop loudly. They almost always dodge. The water gets on their denim clothes two or three times and leaves wet tracks on them. However, the lovers do not care about it and are much busier with the process of this game. At some moment, Terrence gets water in his hands and splashes it over Raquelle, getting her denim clothes wet. That’s why the girl yells loudly and opens her mouth slightly. “Ah, you?” Raquelle resents, putting her hands on her hips and showing an offensive face. “Alright, mangy cat, now I will give you a fresh shower! We will see how you will shout after that!” Raquelle gets as much water as possible in her hands and splashes it over Terrence, who quietly avoids the attack of the wonderful opponent and splashes some water over her from head to foot. But a little later, he decides to run away, laughing sonorously and then showing a couple of funny faces and his tongue to the girl. “Stop, I said!” Raquelle yells loudly. “MacClife! Stop right now! I haven’t dealt with you yet! Come here! You hear what I say! Take your gorgeous ass to me!” “Won’t catch, won’t catch!” Terrence exclaims funnily and shows his tongue to Raquelle again and ears on the head with his hands, slightly shaking his hips and jumping happily twice. “La-la-la-la…” No matter how fast Raquelle runs after Terrence, she cannot catch him. She cannot hold down a laugh when he sometimes shows her funny faces. But a little later, the man gets so busy showing something funny that he does not react to the girl catching him and slapping him on his buttocks. However, MacClife wakes up quickly and runs away, making his fiancée catch him again and making threats to deal with him after catching him. “So, cutie, your legs got weak?” Terrence teases. “Why are you so slow? C’mon, add some gaze! Show me everything you can!” “I shall reach you, son of a bitch!” Raquelle threatens. “If you give me a little reason, I will deal with you!” “Try then!” Terrence splashes water from the ocean over Raquelle. “MacClife!” Raquelle yells. “C’mon, what are you waiting for?” After splashing the water over Raquelle again, Terrence runs quickly again, making sharp turns and making the girl think he wants to go on one side but running to another at the last moment. They splash water over each other or throw some sand many times. The lovers hit the bullseye only two or three times and even fall because they do not always look down and get too busy with it, focusing only on their goal. But later, Terrence decides to commit fraud and catch Raquelle, after whom he starts running. At some moment, the man sharply stops and starts waiting for the girl to reach him. And she rejoices that the man, as she thinks, decided to give up and smiles slyly, looking forward to what she is going to do to him. But when she needs a little to strike her opponent down the ground, he sharply grabs her so that his fiancée’s arms are tightly pressed to her body and holds her for a few seconds. Cameron yells loudly and starts resisting, trying to get out of the strong grip of her fiancé and feeling helpless because her arms are motionless. “Hey, let me go!” Raquelle demands with a sonorous laugh. “Terrence! Let me go! Hear me!” “So, my sunshine, you wanted to deal with me?” Terrence purrs quietly, tenderly touching Raquelle’s ear with his lips. “You met the wrong guy! You were deeply wrong if you naively thought you could catch me and strike me down.” “I ain’t gonna give up! I swear, I shall catch you! I will!” Raquelle magically gets out of Terrence’s grip. She starts slapping him with her hands and splashing the water from the ocean over him. He tries to avoid these attacks with a loud laugh and squeaks, and starts fighting back in the same way. But at some moment, the girl starts running away and shows him a couple of funny faces. It encourages Terrence, and he easily catches Raquelle some time later, tightly grabbing her by the waist from behind and pressing her closer to himself. “No, no, stop!” Raquelle yells and starts laughing quietly because Terrence tickles her neck with his nose. “No tickling! Stop! No! MacClife!” “Next time, you will obey me,” Terrence smiles slyly and slightly bites the skin on the curve of Raquelle’s neck. “And you will not think about going against the will of your fiancé.” “Go to the fuck!” Raquelle chuckles kindly. “I will do whatever I want! And nobody will stop me!” When Raquelle steps back from Terrence, he tightly presses her to himself again and tickles a curve of her wait, while she shouts and bends backward. “Ah, that’s how!” Terrence exclaims. “Alright, bitch! Since you don’t want to listen, I will work on your education better.” Terrence slightly slaps Raquelle on her buttocks several times, while she thrills with laughter and tries to get out of the man’s strong grip. “Stop!” Raquelle exclaims through a laugh. “Bad girl, bad!” Terrence adds, getting much pleasure from slapping Raquelle on her tough buttocks. “Will you listen to me? Will you do it, I’m asking you?” “I will not!” Raquelle says confidently. “I am a free bird! I don’t like when someone limits my freedom.” “I shall teach you to obey your future husband. I will do!” “Hey, stop slapping me on my ass! Stop, I say! Hey! MacClife! You hear me, you, wet rooster!” “It’s okay, I will make you a good girl.” Terrence squeezes Raquelle’s buttocks tightly, slaps on them slightly, and caresses them tenderly, while his free arm is wrapped around her waist. “So, you remember that joking with Terrence MacClife is bad.” “Oh, look, someone’s come there!” Raquelle exclaims excitedly, pointing aside. “Who?” When Terrence glances aside, Raquelle runs away from him. The resentful man starts running shortly, catches the girl for a few seconds, grabs her by the waist from behind, and tightly presses her to himself, while she is resisting and slapping him on his arms. Then MacClife, Sr., sharply turns his fiancée on him, places her above his shoulder, and goes right to the ocean, not being afraid to wet his sneakers and the edges of his jeans. “No, no, not in the water!” Raquelle shouts loudly, beating Terrence on his back with her fists and shaking her legs. “No, Terrence, don’t do it! MacClife! Who I’m talking to! Place me on the ground! Don’t dare to throw me in the water! I swear you will regret it!” “The sooner you get wet, the sooner you’ll take off your clothes and give me pleasure,” Terrence replies with a wide smile, standing in the water up to his ankles and caressing Raquelle’s buttocks tenderly, while she is shaking her legs and trying to resist, even if she understands she has no place to run in this case. “You drive me so crazy, babe.” “You’re crazy!” Raquelle starts beating Terrence on the back with her fists much harder. “Place me on the ground now!” “Quiet, quiet, Cameron, stop beating me on my back.” “I said, let me go immediately!” “Never!” When Terrence takes two steps forward, Raquelle starts beating him on the back much harder and shouting much louder, not wishing to get wet because of her fiancé. “You went nuts?” Raquelle screams loudly. “MacClife! Let me go! NOW! WHOM I SAY IT TO! LET ME GO, IDIOT! PLACE ME ON THE GROUND!” “Okay, okay, cutie, why you got so excited,” Terrence laughs shyly, massaging Raquelle’s buttocks tightly and caressing her thighs. “I joked. Nobody’s gonna throw you in the water. Coward.” Terrence goes to the dry coast and places Raquelle carefully on her feet. And after this, she immediately attacks him with fists and beats him on everything she looks at. However, the man, who was ready for this reaction, grabs her hands and holds them tightly, while she resists and tries to break free. “Okay, okay, calm down, beauty, calm down,” Terrence says with a laugh. “I will give you a good shakeup now,” Raquelle threatens, unsuccessfully trying to get her hands out of Terrence’s grip. “Let me go, idiot. Let me go, who I say! MacClife, don’t make me enraged!” “Resisting is worthless, save some strength.” Terrence looks at Raquelle quickly with a little lusty look. “Look how you got red from anger. Your nostrils are inflated. And you look like a potato.” “But you look like a lusty scumbag, who I want to hit between his legs. So, he thinks of what he does next time.” “Do you know that the more you resist, the more it gets me excited? But if you also insult me, I do want to take these clothes off you and fuck as cruelly as possible.” “If you want it, I can tell you everything I think about you.” “Speak,” Terrence pronounces in a low, deep voice, lets Raquelle’s hands go, grabs her by the chin, and sets his confident gaze in her eyes, glancing at her little open mouth for a second. “Come on, bitch, tell me how much you want me. How much you crave this gorgeous body.” “I didn’t want, I don’t want, and I will not want!” Raquelle says with her head proudly raised, breathing heavily enough. “You want me, I know it.” Terrence puts a free hand on Raquelle’s abdomen, feeling how tense it is, and runs the fingertips of another hand slowly over her neck. “Your body speaks for itself and shakes when my hands and fingers touch it. It says it needs a little to be ready to get a strong orgasm.” “Everybody wants to believe in what they want.” When Raquelle turns her back on and wants to go aside, she sharply shakes when Terrence grabs her tightly by the throat from behind with one hand and caresses her thighs and belly tenderly with another hand. “We both want the same,” Terrence says confidently, as his hand gets underneath Raquelle’s jeans, and his fingers caress her clitoris. “Ha, c’mon…” Raquelle chuckles with a shake, feeling a slight tension and a nice tickle in her abdomen. “You just need to turn off the hard-to-reach mode.” Terrence tenderly kisses Raquelle on her neck and breathes in the smell of it. “And give your body to the one, who can use it not worse than a musical instrument.” “Yeah, I’m kind of running to…” Raquelle has to fall into silence because Terrence turns her sharply on himself and greedily kisses her on the lips, grabbing her by the hair, tightly hugging her by the waist with a free arm, and giving as much passion and fire to this kiss as possible. Although the girl resists at first and moans something, she later melts in his arms and answers his kiss with pleasure, running one hand through the man’s hair, starting to run another hand over his chest, getting it underneath his masculine t-shirt, and actively using her tongue. He pulls, bites, and licks her lips. But when he realizes that he won again, the brunet smiles widely and continues to caress the lady’s lips with a heavy breath. One hand of Terrence slides over a gracious curve of Raquelle’s waist, and another hand slides over her thigh. And while the girl runs her lips over his face and runs the tip of her tongue over the area behind his ear, which she tenderly kisses, and on which she breathes with a hot and cold breath, the man slides to her neck, which he covers with kisses and light bites with pleasure, letting his hands massage her breasts, slide over her belly, squeeze her buttocks, and caress her things. Raquelle cannot hold down moans full of enjoyment, shaking after every single act of Terrence, feeling a tickle in her abdomen and a light tension in her body. At some moment, she leans her head back and exhales sensitively when he runs his lips over the front of her neck and collarbones that are sticking out strongly. He also covers the open part of her breasts with kisses that are shown out of the shirt, massaging every single one and feeling how tough her nipples became. And while the girl holds his face tightly, kisses him on the lips with some greed, and slightly bites them, the man quickly opens all the buttons on her shirt and throws its edges aside, seeing a dark red bra that supports her breasts and raises them so that they seem a little bigger. His pupils immediately dilate when he stops his eyes on this breathtaking part of the body, and his breath becomes much heavier. Terrence does not hold down his wish to massage and caress the gorgeous feminine bust again. This unreal caress literally makes Raquelle feel dizzy and take her breath away. She understands that she can barely stand on her feet but does not forget to caress the man’s head, face, stomach, and back and puts her hands on his buttocks, which she slightly squeezes. A little later, the heated Terrence goes back to Raquelle’s neck with a heavy, uneven breath and takes the denim jacket off her shoulders, and lets it fall on the sand. And then she stays without her shirt, wearing only one bra and skinny jeans that perfectly fit her slim body. The girl smiles shyly and sticks her chest up, while the man is scanning the top of her body with widely open eyes, swallowing up nervously, feeling a hot flash, and forgetting how to breathe. “Fuck, what a woman…” Terrence pronounces quietly in a low voice, runs his hand slowly over Raquelle’s collarbones, and goes to her breasts, which he slightly squeezes, shaking slightly and feeling tormenting tension in his groin. “Just an eternal cutie…” “Why did you stop?” Raquelle asks with a quiet laugh. “You react as if you’ve never seen my boobs!” “Wait, let me admire this beauty…” Terrence smiles much wider and runs his fingertips down over Raquelle’s abdomen to her crotch. “That I wanna look at forever…” “Do you want me to get control of everything?” Raquelle gets her hands underneath Terrence’s t-shirt with a mysterious smile and caresses tenderly his naked stomach and tough chest. “Huh, pretty boy? Giving me a right to choose?” “Pose topless for me…” Terrence glances slowly at Raquelle. “Take off your bra and let me take a few photos.” “Erm…” Raquelle gets blushed. “Excuse me, what?” “I wanna photograph you topless. Every time I see you half-naked or completely nude, I get a wish to take a couple of photos. And now it’s such a wonderful chance for it… We’re in such a beautiful place where there is nobody… And… I’m imagining how wonderful the photos of you being half-naked would be.” “That’s how?” “Show me everything you’ve learned for the years of your modeling career and pose for me. I will admire the photos when you aren’t with me, and when I want sex…” “Yeah? Shouldn’t I do a blowjob for you right here?” “No, you’ll do this later.” Terrence runs his thumb over Raquelle’s lips. “But now let me photograph the beauty against such a beautiful background.” “What if I refuse?” “Are you shy?” “Nope!” “C’mon, Raquelle! Is that bad when a man wants to take a few shots of his half-naked fiancée?” “This man wants too much.” “Undressing in a bed and shooting in underwear for a commercial is super easy for you. But when I asked you to take off a bra and show me tenderness and sensuality, you doubted.” “I didn’t doubt.” “Don’t be shy of such a gorgeous body.” Terrence softly grabs Raquelle’s face. “It’s just incredible and was literally made to be photographed nude.” Terrence gives Raquelle a tender, continuous kiss on the lips, moving his hands to her shoulders and caressing her forearms tenderly. While she holds him under his elbows and moans sensually with a slight shake in her whole body. A little later, the man, holding one side of the girl’s neck, leaves a few kisses on another. That’s why she closes her eyes and presses herself tighter to his hot body. Next, Terrence moves his hands to the curves of Raquelle’s waist, caresses her back, feels the clatter of her bra, opens it, takes this thing off her, and lets it fall. Now the girl is wearing only jeans, and her fiancé caresses her nude breasts with great pleasure. He does not refuse to leave a few kisses on it, grab her nipples with his mouth, lick and suck them a little, making the beauty moan much louder, bend backward like a cat, and feel that shake spreads all over her body. “So what?” Terrence asks softly, hugs Raquelle with both arms tightly, and gives her a continuous kiss on the lips. “M-m-m…” Raquelle moans quietly, sinking her nails into the nape of Terrence’s neck. “Will you make my wish come true?” Terrence generously starts covering Raquelle’s neck with tender kisses.” “Yeah…” Raquelle leans her head back and makes a louder moan when Terrence kisses the front of her neck. “Okay…” “Excellent then!” Terrence smiles widely and kisses Raquelle on the lips. “Wait here, I’ll take the camera from the car.” “What? You took the camera?” “I did!” “So, did you, pretty boy, plan it?” “I thought that photos taken against the ocean would look magnificent.” “Oh, MacClife, you’re crazy,” Raquelle crosses her arms over her chest. “Okay, I’ll be back now. And you get ready, babe.” Terrence quickly goes to the car that is placed not far from here, while Raquelle stays all alone. She does not feel discomfort from walking on the coast with her naked breasts. Moreover, the girl even decides to take off her sneakers and leaves them along with the denim jacket and the shirt that she carefully places not far from herself. And by this moment, Terrence comes back here with an expensive photocamera in his hands, wishing to see photos of his fiancée in such a beautiful, as he thinks, look. “So, my queen, are you ready to show me everything you can?” Terrence asks, putting the belt of the photocamera on his neck and starting to change the settings. “Today, I’m gonna be your photograph.” “You look like a professional photograph,” Raquelle notices with a slight smile. “And you could definitely work on a photoshoot.” “I’m just gonna train and get pleasure from picturing such a gorgeous body.” Terrence completes setting the camera and glances at Raquelle with a slight smile. “And now show me everything you were given by nature. What only I got.” Raquelle looks around quickly and sits on the sand with her back turned to the sand, trying to strike a beautiful pose that would show her dignity, covering her breasts with her arm and setting her gaze into the camera, with which Terrence starts taking photos of the girl. He tries to take pictures from different sides and catches moments when she strikes the best poses. The girl looks confident enough and does not seem like an inflexible log, trying to pick up different poses that would express the beauty of her body. She does not also forget to use her eyes, which look especially attractive thanks to the bright makeup made of black and gray colors. “Yay, baby, you’re so imitable,” Terrence pronounces with enjoyment, taking pictures in a standing, sitting, and lying position. “Keep doing the same. Turn your back on me and stick your ass out.” Raquelle does what Terrence says, showing her gracious, perfectly straight, naked back, and moves her eyes down. The man gets delighted again and takes several photos, not being sick of pressing the shutter and twisting the lens not to get a blurry image. “Magnificent!” Terrence exclaims. “What about tenderness and sensuality?” While Raquelle is posing and showing different sides of herself, her hair is beautifully blown by the wind. That’s why the photos are more beautiful and alive. They do not look kind of bad. Yes, the photos are erotic. Because the girl is posing half-naked for her fiancé. But they do not cross a limit and cannot be called openly vulgar. Terrence turns out to be a good photographer, gets good photos, and picks up good moments and places to take a truly excellent shoot, working with a professional photocamera not worse than any photograph. He takes very many good photos and uses a moment to look at his beautiful fiancée from all sides, while she is posing for him with pleasure, without any shyness, and sometimes smiling at the camera or when she looks down. “Wonderful!” Terrence exclaims. “Magnificent! Okay, let’s take two last shoots. Show me sexuality and tenderness at the same time. C’mon, babe, you can do this.” Terrence presses the shutter two times. “Done, you’re incredible, my love,” Terrence says with a wide smile. “Excellent job.” “Will you let me look at what you got?” Raquelle asks shyly, getting up on her feet and shaking the sand off her jeans. “With pleasure. Come here.” While Terrence starts viewing all the photos, Raquelle decides to put on her denim jacket and then comes to the man, who is admiring the beauty of the young girl. “Ah, what a beauty…” Terrence pronounces with enjoyment, closely looking at every single photo. “I’m going insane…” At this moment, Raquelle comes to Terrence and, wrapping his waist with both arms and putting her nose in his forearm, views the photos that make her smile slightly. “You’re so beautiful,” Terrence says with admiration. “My gorgeous goddess! The goddess that I wanna look at forever.” “I think the idea to photograph me half-naked was pretty good,” Raquelle replies thoughtfully. “And now I have the stunning photos I’ll always admire. Pick up the best shoots and maybe print them. And if you don’t mind, I’ll be happy to post them on my Instagram and show the whole world how lucky I am to have such a gorgeous fiancée.” “Aren’t you afraid someone would bite you from jealousy?” “No, I’m not. I’m not guilty of being so lucky and taking the best in time.” “If they’re well retouched, we’ll get a magnificent result.” “These photos don’t need a retouch, ‘cause you’re imitable without it. Here’s such a gorgeous body: boobs, ass, and legs… M-m-m… I do feel how everything is getting tense inside me…” “Yeah, as it turned out, you take good photos.” “Ah, babe, everything I do literally burns in my hands,” Terrence replies with pride. “Even if I was worthless at something, I’d find a way to make it perfect. I’m not a photographer, but I can work with a camera.” “Praising yourself again?” “I thought you realized it a long time ago. Realized that you had a deal with a truly talented man, who was good at everything and could not only work his tongue and show off.” “I must confess it.” “Okay, when we go home, I’ll transfer these photos to the laptop and view them better.” Terrence turns off the camera and moves his tender gaze to Raquelle. “Moreover, I have a wonderful chance not only to admire you but also caress and touch your gorgeous body.” “So, are ya gonna undress me?” “Would be great.” Terrence takes the belt off his neck, puts the camera on Raquelle’s shirt, and, coming closer to the girl, looks at her from head to foot with a sly smile. “Damn, you can’t imagine how excited I get from just looking at your body.” “You say, excited?” “And you want me to stay quiet and teach you to hold myself down! I’m literally dying from a wish to caress and kiss this beauty!” “I understand. I understand everything…” Raquelle shows her breasts a little with a mysterious smile, tenderly runs her hand over them, and runs her fingertips over her belly. “It’s hard just to stand and watch, huh?” “Yeah…” Terrence pronounces in a low voice, twirling the belt of his watch and watching the movements of Raquelle’s hands. “Right…” “Ah… I must confess that sometimes my body also drives me crazy.” Raquelle makes a sexual moan with closed eyes, massaging her breasts with both hands. “When I caress my breasts… My neck… My belly… M-m-m…” “Can I caress all of it?” Terrence asks in a low, hoarse voice, leaving a few kisses on the curve of Raquelle’s neck, breathing on it with a hot and cold breath, as his hands are tenderly squeezing and caressing her naked breasts. “And kiss…” Terrence leaves a couple of kisses on Raquelle’s breasts, sucks her nipples with his lips, and breathes in the dizzying smell of the skin on her neck, tightly hugging her by the waist in passion. “Damn, I need a little bit to stop controlling myself… You, bitch, are gonna kill me…” “Me too…” Raquelle pronounces quietly at one breath, taking her breath away, starting to scratch Terrence’s back with her nails, and shaking slightly after every single touch of the man’s lips to any part of her body. “Damn… Terrence… Did you… Decide to kill me? I won’t take it…” “I feel bad, too…” Terrence moves his hands to Raquelle’s belly, and then one of them softly squeezes and caresses her buttocks, and the second hand caresses the inside of her thighs tenderly. “But I can’t resist this enjoyment…” “Oh, Terrence…” Raquelle exhales loudly, as her voice becomes very quiet, hoarse, and low, and grabs Terrence’s hair tightly when he gives her an exciting kiss on the lips. “Son of a bitch… Who drives me… Crazy…” “You’re gonna bring me to a heart attack, bitch…” Terrence easily takes Raquelle in his arms, confidently looking into her eyes, while she puts her arm around his neck. “I can’t resist the one, who makes me do what she doesn’t even think about.” “If only you knew how much I could still do for you.” Raquelle caresses Terrence’s cheek tenderly, as her eyes scan his face slowly and stay on his lips, which she caresses with her thumb. “In this case, my fantasy is super wild.” “Ar-r-r-r, my hungry tiger!” Terrence growls playfully. “The tiger wants something passionate and crazy. To remember it for a long time.” “Your wish is a law for me, baby,” Terrence replies in a low, soft voice and runs his lips over the curve of Raquelle’s neck, breathing in its smell that makes him smile widely and feel bliss. “For you, I’d be anyone and do whatever you want.” “Continue from where we stopped…” Raquelle runs her lips over all the parts of Terrence’s face, leaves a couple of kisses on his neck, and runs her tongue over his earlobe and the area behind his ear. “I promise to do my best for you to be delighted.” “With a professional like me, you will be more than just happy.” “I’m all yours, pretty boy. Do whatever you want to me. But don’t be too tender. Because I prefer some fire. I prefer a passionate, hot, and little rude horndog named Terrence.” “As you want, bitch.” Terrence and Raquelle look into each other’s eyes for two seconds, breathing in such an incredible smell that they could hardly confuse with another. At some moment, their faces get so close that the tips of their noses slightly touch one another. And then their lips slowly connect, and they give each other a tender, innocent kiss that quickly becomes more assertive and a little rude. They do not care about the wind that is strongly blowing their hair and clothes. At some moment, Terrence places Raquelle on the ground and tightly grabs her by the waist with both arms, caressing the small of her back, while she runs her fingers through his soft hair, caresses his face with one or two hands, just holds him by the shoulders, or tenderly rubs his tough chest. While Terrence is covering the girl’s neck with kisses with a heavy breath, leaves slight bites and pinches, holding her by the nape of her neck, caressing her naked, perfectly straight back, and not forgetting about the breasts, nipples, and belly, Raquelle takes the denim jacket off him and throws it where her things are. And when she drags him with her and lies on the sand, she leaves him without a t-shirt that she throws aside because he does not need it. Then the man, who proudly shows his gorgeous torso and perfect half-naked body, takes the denim jacket off her and leaves his fiancée in her jeans to get access to what belongs to him. Laughing playfully and smiling mysteriously, Raquelle lies down, and Terrence raises herself above her, tightly grabs her by the wrists and presses her hands to the sand. He keeps greedily kissing her on the lips, covering her neck, collarbones, belly, and breasts, which he also massages tightly, with kisses. He does not refuse to run his fingers through her disheveled hair covered with the sand, suck and lick her tough nipples, caress the curves of the lady’s waist and the inside of her things, and give attention to her clitoris. All of that drives Raquelle crazy and makes her moan loudly and exhale, bending backward like a cat. She feels it’s getting warm between her legs, and every single muscle gets nicely tense. The sound of her heart beating fast echoes in many parts of her relaxed body. The eyes are covered with a veil of sensuality, and the mind is focused on getting pleasure. At some moment, Raquelle turns Terrence onto the back, sits over him, and gives the man a madly passionate kiss on the lips, caressing his mouth with her tongue confidently. Also, she leaves tender kisses, slight bites, and pinches on his neck, collarbones, shoulders, stomach, and chest that she rubs with her hands. Besides, the girl does not forget to caress his nipples with her tongue and suck them tenderly. She also gives attention to his thighs, groin, and penis. Her fiancé has only to relax, smile widely and enjoy every single minute with a blushed face. His body gets covered with goosebumps from any action of the beauty, who knows all his weaknesses and does not pretend to be an inexperienced lady. And he gets much pleasure from caressing his fiancée or just keeping his hand on any part of her gorgeous, half-naked body.
