“Beau…” Sophie groans next to me in warning.
SOPHIE MY LIL BABY. THIS IS WHAT IM HERE FOR
“You got yourself killed with those reckless moves,” she argues. “Which I clearly warned you against, but you’re a barbarian through and through. Destroy, smash, kill,” she says, obviously mocking me. “I thought that was the point.” “You obviously need more guidance. What you need is a girlfriend who you’ll actually listen to for once. Find her and bring her to D&D night.”
I’m gonna cry laughing
“What kind of older brother would I be if I let you go to D&D night without me?” “Technically…I’m closer to being your step-aunt.”
God I love you Sophie
“The girls?” I ask.
THE FAVS ARE HERE
To Emerson: Yes, sir. ;)
Maggie.

“What else do you want me to do? You’re in charge, remember?”
SINCE WHEN CAN YOU DO THIS MR.
“Yes, ma’am.”
THE WAY THIS IS KILLING ME SHHDVSBABSB ALL I CAN THINK ABOIT IS CHARLIEEEEE
God, I want to kiss her again. Just for fun. Just because it feels like something I’m not supposed to do
I WAS GONNA SAY ARE YOU GONNA BE A BRAT OR WHAT
I keep my eyes on her as I slowly lower to my knees.
Oh you and Charlie would have never worked out lmao you are TOO alike
Rule #12: When you’re unsure, consult the professionals.
Eden ? 👀
Eden St. Claire is sitting across from me
LETS GOOOOOOOO 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
“Oh yeah,” Charlie replies. “Ask me anything.”
I’m gonna CRY this is hilarious
I’m sending you homework.
Girl you’re a natural at this
Nothing. I’ve seen this before. Where? I’m feeling strangely curious and a little wary. Doesn’t matter. I’ll fill it out.
AAAHAAHAHAHAHHHHHHH SJENEBKDBFBD
IM GOINg TO PISS DONT DO THAT
struggling to stay still until, at one point, she set a fucking cup of tea on my head.
Maggieeee did we talk about degradation
“I’m nothing like you, Charlie,” I say, but
Baby boy I’m gonna hold your hand when I say this
Once he’s gone, I throw his underwear in with another load of laundry and start the machine.
I can’t suggest anything or force her to do it.
You can, it just doesn’t have to be given
Then I get a wicked idea. I am a brat, after all.
I’m gonna kill you.
“Can we get out of here, please?” I ask as our mouths finally part.
What about soph
But with Garrett on the mend
The mend from what what happened to my boy
“But if being your sub has taught me anything, it’s that I don’t take enough time to worship…the woman I’m with.” I bite my lip, slightly pained at the mention of other women.
He didn’t mention other women babe
It’s some time past midnight and still raining outside. Normally, I’d be home by now, but I can’t seem to get off this couch. I’m facing Maggie, who’s scrolling through her phone in nothing but her underwear, while I’m busying my hands with a sketch on my tablet. It’s of her, and all the perfect parts of her stretched out before me.
OBSESSED with this
Things with Maggie are easy, like she was made just for me, to make being me a little easier.
LIKE YOUR DAD SAAAAAAAAID
The day goes by in a blur of sex.
I’m lowkey gonna cry if your forget about Sophie
“Why are you ignoring Sophie?” Charlie snaps without a greeting. “What? I’m not.” “She’s been texting you all day. Now she’s in her room crying and won’t come out. She’s sensitive, Beau. I know she’s just a kid, but she was just starting to get close to you, and she doesn’t need another man in her life to let her down.”
WHAT DID I SAY BEAU
The feeling that settles in my gut with that image is worse than guilt. Much worse. It’s shame, regret, self-deprecation, and remorse all rolled into one, and I have never hated myself more than I do in this moment.
Mmmm I’m seeing the dynamic where they weren’t good for each other
She shrugs, sadly chewing on her nails. “He just doesn’t respond to my texts.” “That little asshole. Let’s go to that game night and kick his ass.”
Neither did you beau
“Is that Kyle? Is he with another girl?” I shout. My blood starts to boil, seeing the hurt wash over her. “I don’t care,”
I fear Mr cheated on Charlie isn’t exactly in the right here
I cheated on Charlie twice and she only knows about one. I fucked the other girl and Charlie in the same fucking day.”
OKAY YOURE BREAKING MY HEART WITH THE DETAILS BABE
whisper to Eden when I find her standing alone at the bar, reading a worn-looking paperback that I’ve seen make its rounds at the club, starting with Isabel, of course.
Hilarious
“Do I have a choice?” Her brow furrows. “Have you ever put your personal life before your work, Maggie?” “Work is my life, and I don’t feel bad about that.” “I’m not saying you should feel bad, but you’re trying to live two separate lives.” “So, what do I do?” I ask. It’s only slightly weird that we’re having this deep conversation while I’m cuffed to the wall in my underwear. “Take him with you. Don’t you think he’d go?”
This sent me spiraling into thinking about secret phoenix time book UGH
I’ve been looking forward to tonight all week: the club’s weekly masquerade night. It’s the only
OH MR IM NOT KINKY IS SUDDENLY EXCITED FOR SALACIOUS
In my head, I’m chanting to myself, be like Emerson.
No baby
“I don’t want you to leave,” he says as he pulls away from my kiss.
Okay hear me out Charlie and Emerson go to phoenix for their honeymoon
Maybe I should think this through more, but at the end of the day, I trust her, and I’m more than willing to throw caution to the wind and put everything in her hands. I can’t get over how good that feels, letting her have control. Especially since she wants it. And not just during sex, but for my entire future.
Mmm
the same tux and stand next to each other. That’s something I’m going to have to unpack later.
LMAO
and pegging is just a little too far out of the realm of vanilla, where he’s spent all of his life.
So have you though
“Meet me in the office in ten minutes,” I reply, just as the song ends.
YALL ARE GOING TO GET CAUGHT ON CHARLIE AND EMERSONS WEDDING AND BOYYYYYY
“Wear that dress to the club,” he says from my garage as I climb out of my car. “Wear that tux,” I reply.
Oh no y’all are sloppy
A bad idea brews in my mind. I’m definitely going to be punished for this, but I can’t help myself. I mean…all of the people I know that my dad works with are probably home asleep or drunk off their asses, definitely not here. No one would recognize me. So why can’t I peek around a little bit?
Uh oh bud
hope we have something like this at our club.
THEIR CLUB
When that thought makes its way through my head, I pause. Our club. How long have I been seeing it that way?
THATS WHAT IM SAYIN
I know she’s afraid I’ll fight with him, but that’s not what I want at all. I just want him to understand. I want him to stop giving so much hate to my family, when this place offers anything but.
Oh baby I’m proud of you but you r still got some learning
So, with that, I pull up Emerson’s contact.
Oh my god it’s his wedding night
“No, you need to sleep.” When she leans down to press her lips to mine, she softly pulls back and adds, “Behave.”
I thought he wasn’t supposed to sleep
“That I can’t just be a real man. I know you know the truth now. Maggie is my Domme. I’m her sub.”
Babe you’re projecting he literally has not said this and wouldn’t
things to me that I see him thinking. “Bullshit,” I bark at him. “It bugs you, doesn’t it? To find out I’m not as masculine as you thought.” “Beau, stop it,” he bellows, loud enough to send his voice echoing through the room. My mouth shuts in a tight clench as I glare at him. “The only thing that bugs me is you thinking that my love and support for you has anything to do with masculinity. You think I care about how submissive you are to your partner? You think a real man can’t be submissive? Then I’ve failed you as a father, and that bugs me.”
THAT’S MY MAN EMERSON
