"Marcus returns home and finds a surprise guest."
Thursday, 8:51 pm
The SUV drove away, leaving Emily and me in front of
the doors of the building I now lived in-what I'd learned
was called the Liberty Elite. It was occupied by a
diverse collection of residential and commercial tenants.
The first floor was a prime spot for high-end shopping
and dining. Several stories above that were reserved
for parking. More commercial space and some
government offices took up the next twenty to thirty
floors, with the remainder used as residential spaces,
including my apartment, which took up the top
remaining floors.
As we approached the ostentatious glass and black
marble entry, a concierge opened held the door for us,
and said, "Have a good evening, Mr. Upton!" He looked
to be in his early twenties, unlike the older gentlernan I
had met when first arriving. I did a double take, then
gave him a nod and a smile; I was surprised he knew
who I was. Whoever managed the operations of this
location was doing a hell of a job.
"Your own doorman?" Emily asked after we passed into
the lobby.
"Well, it's the building's doorman, but yeah."
She spun around, taking in the beautiful design of the
massive lobby as we headed toward the elevators. "Oh
my god, Marcus!"
"This is just the lobby, Em. Wait till you see the actual
apartment."
The elevator ride to the top was faster than anyone
had a right to expect from a sixty-story journey. The
first time, I had Danielle and Erin to keep my company
and had been too busy checking the new girl out to
notice how long it had taken to get to the top. This
time, it was just me and Emily. Not to say Emily wasn't
distracting. I'm sure she turned the heads of every man
she came across. She was a tall, fit woman with
captivating looks, a kind smile, and a lovely personality,
but she was my sister and one of my best friends. At
sixteen years old, when was nothing but a bag of
boiling chemicals ready to explode at anything
resembling curvature, it was impossible to ignore how
her jeans molded to her
ass, but I was a little more in control of my penis these
days. A little. Besides, I had a foursome with three
impossibly gorgeous angels only a few hours ago. My
libido was mostly in check..
The doors eventually opened and Emily stepped into
the impressive open-floor living room complete with
balconies, rich furniture, and a breathtaking view of
New York's city skyline on the opposite end from
where' we stood. The sun had already set, so
approaching the window revealed the twinkling cosmos
of The Big Apple's vibrant nightlife. The apartment was
illuminated by sconces on walls and columns, and an
inferno was blazing inside the fireplace, giving the
apartment a sense of coziness.
There were two people other than Emily and me
currently in the apartment-one I had expected, and
another I hadn't. Erin was currently roarning the kitchen
and taking stock of the current situation. After
recovering from the foursome, I took the time to make
sure she was alright. After things heated up at the pool,
Danni and I moved to the master bedroom while Erin
was occupied eating out Helen. They joined us a little
later, and I'd taken Erin's compact ass with her consent
and Helen's insistent and enthusiastic urging. My
assistant swore she was fine, and after enough
interrogation, I believed her, but that didn't stop me
from feeling at least a little guilty about the entire thing.
I was growing attached to Erin, and the last thing I
wanted to do was hurt her or give her cause to leave.
The other two women had stayed in bed while Erin and
I had our heart-to-heart downstairs, By the time I left,
Erin was going through resumes for bodyguards and
we heard moaning from upstairs; the other two hadn't
had their fill yet.
That was hours ago, and I suspected those Danni and
Helen were long gone. It made sense that Erin would
still be here, but what didn't make sense was the other
person in the room. Ashlee VanCamp had been sitting
on my new couch and scrolling through her phone. As
soon as the elevator door opened and we stepped out
into the lobby, she looked up from her device and over
the back of the couch toward us. She had a large,
warm smile for me and looked like she was about to
say something. Then she noticed Emily and her smile
faded.
"Marcus! Your new home is lovely," Ashlee said, ending
the sentence in a tiny frown. She recovered quickly
enough and banished it, standing up and coming around
the couch.
"Thanks," I said, more than a little confused. I glanced at
Erin, who was rummaging through one of the drawers
at the kitchen island. I looked back at Ashlee. "It's good
to see you. What brings you here?"
I was suddenly very nervous. This was the first time
Ashlee had been around any of the other women in my
life other than Helen. I was starting to suspect that the
young paralegal was chasing after a wealthy, eligible
bachelor. How was she going to react around someone
like Erin? Or Danni? Would she cause some sort of
scene if she felt slighted? Were Danni and Helen still
actually here? 1 mentally kicked myself for not checking
in with Erin before coming back to the house, especially
with my sister.
Emily was my other concern. I wasn't exactly thrilled
with my sister finding out that I'd been fucking every
good-looking woman I'd come across lately. I also
didn't want her to bear witness to any drama that
Ashlee might bring with her. If things went poorly here,
I would probably never hear the end of it.
"Helen returned to the office to work with insurance
and get the appropriate things taken care of on your
behalf. Something came up for her, so Roger had me
finish everything and bring it over for you to sign."
Roger. She must have meant Roger VanCamp. Also
known as Ashlee's father and Helen's husband. Every
time his name came up, I remembered this was the
man that not only knew I was screwing his wife but
had given his blessing. Had Richard kept Helen from
completing the due diligence on my apartment? What
kind of situation had come up to keep Helen away? Did
it have something to do with our arrangement?
"Thanks," I said, "but couldn't you have just emailed it
over?"
"Eh... Daddy's a little old-fashioned," Ashlee said,
"besides, I heard about the new purchase and had to
see it for myself! Marcus, this is amazing!" As Ashlee
approached and interacted with me, her body language
and stance made it clear that she was trying to exclude
Emily from the conversation.
"Thanks, Ashlee," I said, growing more uncomfortable
with things by the minute. "This is my sister Emily. She
showed up at my apartment and decided to tag along
so she could see the house"
As soon as I said the word 'sister', Ashlee's entire
demeanor shifted. That full, genuine smile she'd first
displayed returned, and her eyes shined with genuine
interest. "Oh my god! It's so good to meet you!" she
exclaimed and reached out to take one of Emily's hands
in both of hers.
Ermily, who looked confused at first, mirrored Ashlee's
warmth and returned the handshake. "Thank you,
Ashlee! Same! How do you know my brother?"
"Ashlee works at my law firm," i explained.
"Oh cool! So you'll be working with Marcus pretty
regularly," Emily said.
"I hope so," Ashlee returned with a giggle. "God, you're
so tall, Emily! And gorgeous! Where do you get your
makeup?"
That was my cue. I backed out of the conversation
about makeup. and approached Erin, who had quit
rummaging through the cabinets and was watching the
situation unfold between the other two women. I
leaned against the island next to her.
"Are you guys the only ones here?" I asked quietly so
our conversation wouldn't disturb them.
Erin slowly rubbed her palms together, studying the
other pair of women as she said, "Yep. Danni and Helen
kept it up for about another twenty minutes. Then I
decided I'd had enough of resumes and jumped back
between them for a while. Danni got the brunt of it,
then she had a thing. Helen stuck around long enough
to kiss everything better, then headed back to her
office. No one here to make it weird for your sister."
Her eyes still fixed on the ladies, he leaned close and
whispered, "No one except Ashlee, anyway."
I snorted. "Thanks."
So the girls had continued without me? The images her
few words left in my mind were enough to get my
cock stirring in my pants again, and I wanted to ask for
more details, but before I could, Erin decided to change
the subject.
"Is there something going on with you guys?"
Something about her tone seemed slightly off, and my
concern about what happened earlier bubbled to the
surface again. I studied her, trying to gauge why she
would ask me about Ashlee like that. Was Erin
harboring a little bit of jealousy, or was there
something about Ashlee that she didn't like? I recalled
Helen meritioning that Ashlee and Erin knew each
other.
"If she had her way," I replied. "She offered, but I said
no."
Erin studied them for a moment longer then finally
looked at me for the first time. Usually nothing but grins
and mischief, this look was more subdued. Her dark
eyes were penetrating, and there was a note of caution
in her expression. It was a little unsettling. A closed-lip
smile finally crept onto her lips. "Okay"
