 Two months later, Julia looked in the mirror just wearing a white bra. Her belly was growing by the day and she was panicking more as the days went by. Her relationship with Dave was still strained. Each day he tried to be cheerful about it and bringing her whatever she craved. Brandon was still overjoyed and excited at the prospect of a new baby. Brett couldn’t wait and she smiled remembering his enthusiasm. She sifted through her underwear drawer looking for new clothes - then she froze. 
 The envelope. The envelope was missing. Where could it be? Who could have gone through her things? She paced around the room, clutching her belly, confused. She quickly walked back to her dresser. She yanked all the drawers open throwing her clothes on the bed. Nothing. It wasn’t here. She knew she should have burned it when she had the chance. Luckily she didn’t spend the night with anyone tonight since she was sick all the time and wanted to be alone sometimes. This was not good, she thought. She threw on a maternity dress that hugged her body. 
 She walked into the living room seeing Brett pour water into the tea kettle. She could hear Dave’s music in his room as he was working out. Frantically, she looked all over the coffee table, the kitchen counters and even in the garbage. It was nowhere and she felt her heart sinking. 
 “Hey Juli, what's up?” asked Brett, looking at her concerned. She looked at him, her eyes studying him. Nothing changed about him. It didn’t seem like he knew about the picture. 
 “Hey, baby. Nothing, just looking for a lost earring,” she said, her knuckles turning white as she clutched her blue maternity dress. Her breathing was erratic as she walked back into her room. Grabbing her phone, she dialed Eva’s number. 
 “Hey sis, I’m at school,” said Eva who sounded bored. 
 “The picture’s gone,” said Julia breathless. “I can’t find it anywhere.” 
 “Wait, the jail one?” 
 “Yes,” said Julia. 
 “Why the hell did you keep it for?!” 
 “I wanted to use it against the cop in case he didn’t keep his word,” said Julia. 
 “What the hell does that mean? You need to find it. One of your men found it and you need to figure out who,” Eva exclaimed. “Anyways bye, I gotta go now.” 
 “Bye,” said Julia, hanging up and frustrated with herself. She decided to go shopping to clear her mind. 
 Going to the front door she passed by Brett, who seemed to always be in the kitchen. 
 “See you later Brett,” said Julia. 
 “Later, see you tonight. If you’re feeling better, we’ll just cuddle,” said Brett hopefully. 
 “Maybe,” said Julia. 
 She got into her car and put on her favorite music to calm herself down. She needed to think clearly as she drove. She drove to a nearby shopping center, happy there weren’t too many people here. She went to the baby section, not sure what to buy. Not knowing the gender of the baby was giving her anxiety. The shopping part was most possibly the best part about having a new baby to dress up in cute little clothes. As she turned an aisle, she crashed into a broad chest. 
 “Sorry, excuse me,” said Julia. The person was quiet. Julia looked up and gasped when she saw who it was. 
 “Hey Julia,” said Anthony. “Long time.” 
 Julia nodded, trying to walk past him. His hand reached out and grabbed her arm. His grip was like steel and wouldn’t budge as she tried to pull away. 
 “What do you want?” she asked, looking around. The aisle was empty, but she was ready to scream if need be. 
 “I want ten thousand dollars,” said Anthony. 
 “You know full well I don’t have money,” said Julia gritting her teeth. 
 “And you know that your precious Dave has money,” said Anthony. “Get me that ten thousand from him.” 
 “Or else what?” said Julia, shaking her arm from his vice-like grip. Anthony released her arm, pulling something white from his back pocket. It was her envelope folded in three. Her eyes widened. 
 “So?” she said. 
 “It’s your slutty picture,” said Anthony. “Give me the money and the guys won’t find out about this.” 
 “How did you get that?” 
 “I still have the keys to the house if you don’t know that yet,” said Anthony. Julia pictured herself stealing from Dave and the men never knowing she cheated on them. Or she could risk it, and not give him a penny. 
 “Give me the envelope,” said Julia with an outstretched hand, stalling for time. 
 “Not happening. You have one week,” said Anthony, turning his back and walking away. 
 Julia leaned against the shelves in the store, staring at the colorful little containers baby food, her heart racing. She was sick and tired of the control Anthony had over her. She wondered what had gotten into him? Why was he being so difficult and bitter? She paid for her purchases and left the store. Looking back constantly, she made it to her car safely but out of breath. If the men knew about the picture then she was over. 
 She would have no one and she wasn’t prepared if that happened.

 At home, when everyone was playing chess in the living room, Julia feigned being sick. She walked to the master bedroom to organize her thoughts and her plan of action. It wasn’t Dave’s night but she needed to somehow get him in this room tonight. Brett would be upset but it is what it is, she thought. This needed to be done. She dug into her closet and found red hot lingerie. Stripping naked, she put it on- the lace flowing over her pregnant belly. Then she walked over to her bed and went under the sheets. 
 “Dave!” she called weakly, half closing her eyes. 
 “Yeah?” said Dave, opening the door and walking in. 
 “Can you lock the door please?” said Julia, her hand over her eyes. She heard the door closing and the lock clicked into place. 
 “What’s going on?” asked Dave concerned, walking over to the bed, and lifting the sheets. Julia heard him gasp when he saw what she was wearing. 
 “I’m horny for you Dave,” said Julia. “I know it’s not your night but I want you.” Dave narrowed his eyes. 
 “I don’t believe this. You’re up to something,” said Dave, lightly brushing his hands over her neck. “But whatever it is, I’m game.” 
 Julia smiled, pleased this was working so far. She sat up and kissed the exposed part of his neck. She felt a little sick to her stomach tricking him but this was the only way. The only way she got to keep all of them. Dave, now aroused, grabbed her face kissing her soft lips. Julia pushed him down until she was on top of him. Feeling his hardness under her hands, she was grinding on top of his pants and over his hard penis. She gyrated slowly, grinding hard against him until she could see his eyes filling with desire. 
 “Let me take off these fucking jeans,” said Dave. Julia lifted herself off of him as he hurriedly yanked off his jeans and boxers. He pulled off his shirt next. Now he was completely naked. Muscles rippled in the dark as Julia climbed on top of him again. He caressed her pregnant belly as she slowly inserted his penis inside of her pink wet slit. Feeling herself moisten as she rode him up and down, she grabbed his hand, fingering herself with it. Dave took over and fiercely rubbed her clitoris until she squirmed. 
 “I need something from you,” she said, breathlessly, pausing. He was looking at her with shock in his eyes. 
 “I’ll give you anything. Keep going, damn it,” he growled. He grabbed her hips to keep grinding on his penis but she wouldn’t budge. 
 “You promise to give me what I ask after we’re done,” she said. 
 “Yes I promise,” he panted, his eyes wild with desire. “Keep going.” 
 Julia rested her hands on his strong chest, jiggling her butt slightly to adjust herself. He groaned again. She rocked harder against him. Then faster, up and down over his rock-hard throbbing dick. It was ramrod straight inside of her, hot and warm. Her pussy clenched hard around him, drenched and gushing over his fingers. She had to keep going. He wasn’t climaxed yet. Up and down, she went faster until he groaned loudly bucking his hips against her. Pushing deep inside of her until every inch of his dick was covered and hugged by her clenching vagina. His sperm shot straight inside of her while his hands were on either side of her pregnant belly. 
 She leaned back in ecstasy. Sex was just so good, she thought. Slowly getting off of him, she wrapped one leg around his body. She waited for his breathing to slow down. 
 “Do you remember your promise?” she asked, her heart beating fast. She didn’t like doing this one bit. 
 “Tell me what you wanted that you couldn’t get any other way?” said Dave eyebrows raised. “This is not your style so I’m curious.” 
 “Umm..well…I need ten thousand dollars,” said Julia. 
 “Uhh, why the hell would you need that much for?” said Dave, turning his body towards her, incredulous. 
 “I want to get a new car, make a down payment,” said Julia. 
 “I’m sorry Julia but you have a nice car already.” 
 “I barely ask for stuff and all you greedy men can’t stand to share anything with me,” said Julia, deciding she needed to play dirty. 
 “Come on Julia, don’t be like this,” said Dave. “I only said no because we still need to pay off this house. I keep track of everyone’s finances for a reason. We need to be secure in our future especially with a little one on the way.” 
 Julia sighed. “Fine, okay.” She wasn’t going to push him. 
   
 *** 
 Julia was running out of time. It was almost the end of the week and she still didn’t get the money. She was making pancakes and coffee for herself. Then an idea hit her. She wondered why she didn’t think of it before. She left the kitchen, walking through the empty house. Going into Dave’s room she rummaged around his things looking for his checkbook, stepping over exercise equipment. Maybe if she just wrote a check, and put Anthony’s name on it, Dave would never find out. His blankets and sheets were strewn around in all different ways, then she finally spotted the checkbook peeking out from under the bed. 
 Grabbing the checkbook and a pen from his dresser, she sat on his bed. She filled out the amount section and was about to write the name of the recipient when his door suddenly burst open. Her hand shaking, she dropped the pen to the floor and flipped the checkbook upside down. 
 “What are you doing in my room Juli?” said Dave, eyes narrowing. He stalked over to her and grabbed the checkbook from her hands. She watched silently as his eyes scanned what she wrote. She could see his face falling, becoming sad. It broke her heart to see him discover such an evil side of her. “Julia, why?” 
 “I’m not a thief,” said Julia. 
 “Then why?” 
 “I had to. There was no other way,” said Julia, her voice shaking. “I’m sorry, please forgive me.” 
 “Something is up. Something that you are not telling me,” said Dave. “You need to tell me now.” 
 “I can’t. Trust me, you don’t want to know,” said Julia. Dave shook his head. His feelings of disappointment and sadness seemed to fill the room. Julia’s face was turning red as he read the unsigned check again. 
 “I can’t believe this,” he ripped the check into four, letting it fall to the ground. “I trusted you with my soul and even proposed to you.” He punched the wall with his fist, making a dent - Julia jumped in alarm. 
 “Dave please forgive me,” she said. “I swear to you it won’t happen again. Just let it go; as if this never happened.” Dave paced around the room, his breathing erratic. Then he stood in front of her his hands deep in his pockets. 
 “Julia,” said Dave. “I can’t do this anymore.” 
 “Do what anymore?” Julia’s heart pounding wildly. 
 “Us. This relationship. I want to break up with you,” he responded. 
 Shocked, tears poured down Julia’s cheeks. “Why Dave?” 
 Dave put his forehead to hers, cradling her tight in his arms. 
 “I can’t trust you and let you think there’s a future,” said Dave. “I thought by the time we had kids, you’d be done with these boys and we can have a real life. I don’t see a future in this mess. Trust me, I’ve been thinking of this for a very long time.” 
 “What if the baby’s yours?” said Julia, sniffling. She couldn’t believe this. Her world was crumbling. Her heart was shattering, and she could feel it. She breathed in his essence one last time. His musky sweat and cologne filled her senses. 
 “If the baby’s mine, I’ll send you child support and whatever else you need from me,” said Dave. “I will always love you, babe. Be happy.” 
 “No,” said Julia. “You can’t leave me.” 
 “Then you need to choose. You need to choose who you want to be with forever,” said Dave. “Having to share you with multiple men was hard. Not only hard, but it was also difficult.” 
 Julia shook her head, biting her lower lip. Letting go of Brett and Brandon who loved her just as much? Was it worth losing Dave? 
 Dave nodded in understanding, knowing her unsaid answer. He touched her cheek with one hand and with that last touch, he slowly walked to the door. He gently closed it shut behind him. Her hands were clenched into fists on her sides as she heard his engine roar to life. 
 That was when she lost it. She howled into the empty house. She crumpled to the ground, crying until she felt she couldn’t cry anymore. She was breathing hard, unable to catch her breath. She felt her protruding belly. The baby was kicking as if to tell her to calm down. She couldn’t bring herself to stand up. The tears were relentless, her emotions in high drive. Dave was her first boyfriend, so this hurt her like no other. 
 Flashbacks of abandonment tore through her heart, punching her in the gut. She wanted to run out there and chase him. Bring him back to her, but he had to be free. She ran to the door and into the living room. She opened the front door, but it was too late. His car was already speeding down the road away from this life, away from her. Julia sat on the front steps, staring, shocked. 
 A car pulled up in the driveway, it was Brandon. He rushed out of the car and ran to Julia. 
 “Julia, what’s wrong?” 
 “We broke up. Dave and I,” said Julia. She felt as if she could not move. Every muscle in her body wanted to sit there, looking at the last spot where he was last. Her heart shattered into a million pieces. She was gasping for air. 
 “Julia, calm down,” said Brandon, rubbing her back. “Breathe. Come inside.” Julia tried to force her body to cooperate with her mind and to stand up. Brandon helped her upwards, grabbing her arm. Julia felt numb all the while as he led her inside. 
 “I can walk,” said Julia, walking to the kitchen to get a drink. Then suddenly, she felt light-headed and before she could catch herself. Her world spun and the last thing she saw was black.

   Chapter 3 
   
 Julia heard the sound of machines beeping and the sound of bustling carts. The sound of muffled voices all around her. She opened her eyes, realizing she was in the hospital. 
 “You’re awake,” said Brett, sounding relieved. He was sitting to the right of her bed and she looked down seeing her hand in his. 
 “Juli, how are you feeling?” said Brandon’s deep voice from her left. Her left hand encased in his big strong hands. 
 Her mouth felt dry as cotton. She blinked a few times to get her bearings. She realized she had intravenous fluid inserted into her upper arm. 
 “I’m good,” she rasped. “I’m thirsty.” 
 Brett let go of her hand, rushing to grab the cup of water sitting on a table across from them. The room bathed in yellow light and the walls were a comfortable light green color. He brought the cup of water to her mouth, the feeling of the cold liquid feeling good on her tongue. She grabbed the cup and chugged the rest of the water down. 
 “Slow down,” said Brandon, a concerned look in his eyes. It was too late, she already drank it all. 
 “What happened?” asked Julia, rubbing her head. She felt woozy. She rubbed her belly which was even larger than before. 
 “You fainted, and I caught you before you hit the ground,” said Brandon. “Do you remember fainting?” 
 “Yes,” said Julia, her memories hitting her like a truck. She remembered the dreadful moment when Dave confront her in his room wanting to break up with her. She squeezed her eyes shut, her tears threatening to emerge. She could feel Brett patting her arm on the right. She felt the baby moving around inside of her. “The baby’s okay.” 
 “You’re strong, you’ll get through this,” said Brandon. Julia opened her eyes and nodded. 
 It was a couple of days before Julia was healthy enough to go home. Julia lay in her bed, at home,  looking around and on edge. She remembered when Anthony made his promise to show the men her picture, but nothing so far. If the plan was to make her nervous and paranoid, then it was working. The week he had given her was long over, so she was looking for any signs of his arrival. 
 “Did you change the locks?” Julia asked Brett. He was using his laptop, sitting next to her in bed. 
 “Yes babe,” said Brett. When he realized she was awake, he put aside the laptop. He kissed her hair, then her lips.  “Why did you want me to change all the locks? It took forever you know.” 
 “I want to feel safe,” said Julia. “Anthony could come back again.” And that’s all she told the men. She never told them about the picture or what Anthony wanted her to do. Brett laid a hand on her belly, wanting to feel the baby kick. Julia four months pregnant now. It made her happy when any of her boyfriends wanted to talk about the baby. Julia, exhausted these days and liked nothing better than to sleep all day. 
 “Looks like baby is sleeping,” said Brett, kissing her bare belly. 
 “Yeah after keeping me up all night kicking,” said Julia smiling. “Now she decides to sleep.” 
 “Are you sure it’s a ‘she’?” 
 “I have a feeling it’s a girl,” said Julia. “Today we’ll find out for sure.” 
 Brett pulled aside her loose maternity shirt, exposing her breasts. He kissed her breasts until her nipples stood at attention. 
 “You’re so beautiful,” he said, taking her left nipple in his mouth. He cupped her other breast in his hand, Julia feeling a warm flush going down her body. She loved Brett’s boyishness and carefree attitude. 
 She ran her hands through his blond hair that he cut short. He proceeded to trail kisses down her stomach until he reached the line of her underwear. Using his fingers, he pulled down her underwear, while kissing her thick thighs. 
 “Oh Brandon,” she moaned. 
 Brett jerked upwards. “What did you say?” 
 “Oh my gosh,” said Julia, shocked at the slip. “Both your names start with the same letter. I messed up.” 
 “It’s cool,” said Brett. The mood was gone. “I’ll go take a shower and make us breakfast.” 
 “Brett, no come back,” said Julia. “I didn’t mean to say that.” 
 Brett shook his head as he walked to the bathroom, ignoring her. What the heck was wrong with her? Julia thought. She couldn’t even get it right with only two men. She decided to finish the job, forgetting about Brett. She spread her legs wide on the bed and proceeded to finger herself. Then she remembered she had bought a new rabbit vibrator and she wanted to try it out. Pulling the vibrator from her dresser, she pressed the power button. The purple vibrator started to vibrate in her hand, powerful and with speed. She brought it down towards her clitoris, moaning as the vibration tickled it. Fully aroused now, she stuck the vibrator into her pussy loving the feel of the rabbit ears on her clitoris. 
 It vibrated inside of her and she increased the speed. The vibrations coursed through her entire body, her vagina was as happy as can be. Who needed a man after all when you had this? Julia thought. Then she added the speed to the highest and she almost shrieked when she climaxed. Her entire body quivering as she came all over the vibrator. Pulling the vibrator out of her vagina, she laid it on her dresser and laid back down on the bed. As she waited for the shower to be free, she concentrated on slowing down her breathing. She planned on what she would do if Anthony showed the men her slutty picture. 
 When Brett stepped out of the bathroom, he wouldn’t look at Julia and she decided to give him space. Ignoring him as well, she walked into the bathroom and ran the hot water. Stepping under the shower, she felt her muscles relax almost immediately. Had Anthony forgotten about her? Like Dave did? It would be a great thing then, she thought. After showering, she combed her hair out and wore a pink maternity skirt. She threw on a black blouse over her bra. Excited, today was her appointment at the doctor’s. She would be finding out the gender of the baby today. She grabbed her pink clutch before heading to the living room. Brett was already eating breakfast at the wooden dining table. Her sex chair was sitting in the corner abandoned with the mirror in front of it, collecting dust. She wondered how it would be to have a monthly meeting with just Brandon and Brett. It wouldn’t be as hot, she thought sadly. 
 Brandon was rifling through a bunch of papers on the coffee table in front of the TV. 
 “Hey Brandon,” said Julia. “What are you up to?” 
 “Looking through all our bills,” he said looking up at her, stress lines on his face. “Oh, you’re already ready.” 
 “Yes, but what’s wrong with the bills?” she asked. 
 “With Dave and Anthony gone. It’s not possible to afford this house anymore,” said Brandon. “Dave made the most and Anthony took on some bills but with them gone now…” 
 “Oh, do you think we’d need to move?” 
 “We’d have to at this point,” said Brandon. “This house is way too large for us anyway.” He looked over at Brett, narrowing his eyes. Most likely wishing Brett was gone too, thought Julia. 
 “The appointment’s in ten minutes,” Julia reminded him. 
 “Okay let’s go.” 
   
 In the ultrasound room, Julia’s large stomach was exposed and covered in a gel that felt cool against her skin. She was lying on the upright bed with Brandon beside her. The ultrasound technician was looking at the screen above them as she placed the machine over her belly. The baby’s heartbeat was reverberating around the room in short fast bursts. Julia looked at Brandon, his face in a large smile, listening. He looked like he was going to be emotional. 
 “Are you both ready to hear the gender of the baby?” asked the ultrasound tech. 
 “Yes,” said Julia. 
 “Wait, Brett isn’t here,” said Brandon. 
 “That’s fine,” Julia replied curtly. 
 Brandon nodded. The ultrasound tech set down the scanner and stood up. 
 “You are having a baby girl!” 
 Julia’s face broke into a smile. “I knew it.” 
 “Ha,” said Brandon. “I was hoping for a boy. But now hearing the gender makes it so much more real.” He had tears in his eyes. 
 “Aw stop Brandon,” said Julia touching his arm lightly. 
 “I’ll give you two a moment,” said the ultrasound tech smiling and leaving the room. 
 Brandon leaned over on the bed and kissed Julia on the mouth. Julia’s fingers wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer. 
 “I’m so happy,” Julia whispered against his mouth. 
 “I’m glad,” said Brandon, running his hand through her long hair. He brought his other hand down to her thighs, gently caressing her. 
 “No, not here,” said Julia, slapping his hand away. 
 “I need you now,” said Brandon, bringing his hand back, hiking her skirt up to her knees. 
 Then a knock on the door and Julia hastily pushed him away, her legs still in the open. The tech looked at Julia’s legs, wide-eyed looking at Brandon. Then she pretended like nothing happened. 
 “I have good news. There were no abnormalities or anything like that. Please come back next month for your next checkup,” she said quickly like she wanted to escape from the room. Julia, mortified let her legs hang there, exposed. After the tech left, Julia sat up wiping away the gel with the wipes that the tech provided. 
 “Ugh, that was so embarrassing,” said Julia. 
 “No it's fine,” said Brandon, re-assuring her. He didn’t look embarrassed in the least. “But we’ll finish the job when we’re out of here, trust me.” 
 He helped Julia get off the bed and he pressed his body against hers. She felt his hardening penis press against her back. She bent over the hospital bed and proceeded to grind her booty against him. He pushed aside her hair exposing her neck. He pressed up against her harder and kissed her neck. 
 “Uh uh, let’s go,” said Julia. “I was just playing.” 
 “It’s too late. You bad girl,” said Brandon. He was breathing heavily as he lifted her skirt exposing her ass cheeks. He gasped. 
 “What’s wrong?” she asked. “We need to hurry before anyone gets back.” 
 “You’re not wearing underwear! Oh there’s no way I’m waiting till we get home,” said Brandon in a demanding tone. 
 He roughly pushed her skirt up further, the scent of her vagina in the air. 
 “Fuck me, daddy,” said Julia, knowing her words would make him even crazier. He slapped her butt cheeks, then he spread them. He licked her in between, Julia feeling his tongue exploring, probing. His hand rubbed her vagina and he licked. Julia knew she was ready now for him. She wanted him just as bad as he wanted her. Not too long after, his penis pushed inside of her as he bent her over lower. Julia’s thighs hit the table, as he pounded into her, grabbing her hair. 
 “Baby, clench around me,” said Brandon. Julia clenched her muscles tight around his dick and he groaned. “I’m about to cum.” He pushed deeper into her and pounded into her until he orgasmed inside of her. 
 “I’m close too,” said Julia, feeling her legs wobble. Brandon pulled out of her and used his finger to rub her off. She climaxed all over his finger and when she was done, he brought his finger to his face, smelling her. She laid against the bed, spent. After a few seconds, Julia regained her composure and quickly pulled down her skirt. The sound of Brandon zipping up his jeans made her smile. 
 “Damn,” said Brandon. 
 “What the hell did we just do?” said Julia laughing.

 As Brandon drove, Julia was teasing Brandon about his hair. 
 “Why don’t you cut it?” she said, playing with his man-bun. 
 “All the girls think it’s sexy,” said Brandon. 
 “Who are you trying to impress?” 
 “Haha, why didn’t you want to wait for Brett for the gender reveal?” he asked. 
 “We got into a minor argument,” said Julia. “Not a big deal.” 
 “Are you going to tell him now?” 
 “Maybe,” she said. When they pulled up to the driveway, Julia saw two cars in the driveway she thought she’d never see again. Anthony’s car was parked on the street and Dave’s car was parked in front of the house. Her heart started to pound faster. 
 “What the hell?” said Brandon, parking the car. He jumped out of the car, his face furious. Julia slowly stepped out, her legs not willing to cooperate faster. She grabbed the hood of the car in case she collapsed with nervous anxiety. She walked to the open front door. She could hear Brett talking. 
 “I called them,” said Brett. “Remember it was your idea to get everyone together to discuss money and bills?” 
 Julia entered the living room, seeing Dave and Anthony sitting on the dining room chairs. Dave waved in a lighthearted manner. Anthony smiled wickedly. 
 “Get out,” said Julia, her hands trembling as she set her purse down on the coffee table. 
 “Looks like you broke up with Dave too, I wonder why?” said Anthony sarcastically. 
 “Shut it,” said Brandon, flexing his arms. 
 “It’s pathetic you’re still with her,” said Anthony. “At least Dave had some sense knocked into him after I left.” 
 “It was nothing to do with you,” said Dave, turning to him. “I still want to be friends Julia. I don’t hate you in the slightest.” 
 Julia sighed and looked around at everyone. “Just talk about what you all need to talk about and get out.” 
 “Wait, wait, wait. Not so fast dear,” said Anthony. He stood up and paced around the living room pretending to think. Julia could feel her face starting to turn red. He better not tell them, she thought. “There’s no point to this meeting.” 
 “Why?” said Brandon. 
 “What if I told you…” Anthony paused, looking at Julia, relishing in her disgrace. Julia bit her lip. “What if I told you that our little lady here was being unfaithful to us?” 
 “Yo Anthony, stop making shit up,” said Dave. “Just leave her alone.” 
 Anthony let out a short bark of laughter. Then he slowly pulled an envelope out of his back pocket. Julia crossed her arms, knowing he was intentionally trying to torture her. 
 “Stop,” said Julia. 
 “Why? Are you going to tell them yourself?” he said. Julia became quiet. He whipped the picture out of the envelope and held the picture up. Julia looked at it. It was up in the air, her ass on display in full glory behind bars. Her face directly facing the camera as she turned around to moan for the prisoner who fingered her ass and snapped her picture. 
 “What the fuck?” said Brett. He walked up closer to the picture. “Was this when you were at the jail?” 
 Julia nodded, still standing in the middle of the living room. Dave slammed his hand against the dining table. 
 “You let a random touch you?” Dave exclaimed. 
 “I mean, look at our lives!” said Julia. “It’s not exactly honorable is it?” 
 Brandon was slowly shaking his head. Anthony was enjoying this, a sparkle in his eyes. Dave had already left the house. 
 “I thought we were enough for you,” said Brandon. “You’ll go off with any guy?!” 
 “I’m getting the fuck outta here,” said Brett. “I’m not paying for this house anymore, you can take me off of it.” He stalked to his room and Julia could hear him throwing stuff around. Julia shut her eyes tight, she couldn’t take this anymore. 
 “What do you get out of this Anthony?” said Julia. Anthony merely smiled at her. Brett came rushing out of his room wearing a backpack and carrying bags in his hands. 
 “Bye Julia,” said Brett. Julia walked over to him, grabbing his arm. 
 “Just stay, I can explain,” she said. 
 “There’s nothing to explain. That picture was loud and clear you can’t keep your legs closed for even a second,” said Brett. “I’m sorry but this is the last time you’ll be seeing me. It was fun while it lasted.” 
 It felt like a slap in the face. Julia’s head kept shaking, denying it. “Please.” Without another word, Brett left through the front door. 
 “I need a break from you Julia,” said Brandon. Julia’s heart dropped. He had no idea how strongly she felt about him out of everyone. 
 “Brandon. It was only once,” said Julia. “I felt ashamed afterward. I would never do it again.” 
 “I believe you,” said Brandon. “But I need time.” He then calmly walked to his room. She could hear him packing things away as well. She knew Brett had family here and a place to go back to. Brandon didn’t have anyone. He barely even had friends. She ran to his room. 
 “Please don’t go,” she begged him. Tears were starting to stream down her cheeks. “I’ll do anything to make it up to you.” He continued throwing things into his suitcase. 
 “Julia, I don’t like to see you like this at all,” said Brandon. “But what you did, was a betrayal. With us, you agreed to date all of us and didn’t do it behind anyone’s back. This is different.” 
 Julia nodded slowly. “I get it.” She slowly walked towards her room, seeing that Anthony already left the house. She was numb as she sat on the edge of her bed. She lost everything, she realized. All the men she had ever loved. She listened as Brandon’s car sped off and away. 
 Away from her. Forever.

 Day after day went by quite slowly it seemed. Every day was the same. Julia was stretched out on the couch, phone in hand and surfing the web for jobs. Hunting for cheap apartments wasn’t easy. Julia’s phone rang. It was her sister, Eva. 
 “Yeah?” Julia answered. 
 “Stop moping around depressed all day,” said Eva. “I think you should go to therapy. You lost an entire family. Wouldn’t be your first time.” 
 “You’re probably right,” said Julia grumpily. “But I don’t need therapy.” 
 “Well I think you do,” Eva replied. “Have you found a job yet?” 
 “No.” 
 “Do you need me to come over?” 
 “No.” 
 “Alright then, let me know if you need anything,” said Eva, sighing on the phone. 
 “I will,” said Julia. She hung up and threw the phone across the couch. It was true. She lost motivation for everything. Living and going through every day was tough. She felt completely and utterly empty. She missed Brandon the most and their daily talks. 
 If therapy helped her forget about this then it could be worth it. Getting up, off the couch with her large pregnant belly was hard. She was now six months and still trying to navigate her large body. She picked her phone back up and called her doctor. Dr.Morris referred her to a clinic that specialized in depression and would do an evaluation. The simple act of changing into clean clothes was difficult. She threw on a black hoodie and plain jeans. Knowing any other day, she would never be caught in those clothes, she realized something was probably really wrong with her. 
 Driving to the office was mental torture for Julia. Ugh, the gas was almost finished, she realized. The last of her savings were dwindling. She barely even ate food since that would cost money. She would mysteriously see cash sometimes left under her front door, which was weird. If any of the men still cared for her, why hadn’t they come back? She reached the clinic and parked her car. 
 At the office, she sat across from a man who looked to be in his thirties. He had light-brown hair and green eyes. He was hot, thought Julia. Was it because she was so men deprived? His eyes were dreamy, his jawbones sharp. She suddenly wished she was more dressed up. 
 “What brings you here Julia?” asked the man. “My name is Evan.” 
 “I think I’m depressed or something,” said Julia, suddenly pulled back to Earth. 
 “When did it start and what caused it?” 
 “I dated four men at once before and after they all left me; that’s when I couldn’t do anything useful,” said Julia. “I feel like I’m not whole anymore. Like my heart is ripped in two.” 
 “In two, but not into four,” Evan tapped the pen against his lips. “Could you have fallen in love with just one person then?” 
 “I don’t know,” said Julia. 
 “In these meetings, you need to be as honest as possible. Or else we will go nowhere,” said Evan. Julia nodded. 
 “It could be possible,” she said. “I still didn’t process Brandon leaving me. I don’t want to think about it.” 
 “You will be okay,” assured Evan. “Why do you think you needed to date more than one man?” 
 “I wanted to. I don’t want to be alone,” said Julia. 
 “Why do you think that is?” 
 “I was always left alone as a child,” said Julia. “I don’t like losing people.” 
 “Hoarding men is the not answer and is not healthy,” said Evan. “Your homework for today is to write a letter to Brandon explaining how you feel. It’s to help you process your mixed feelings.” 
 “Okay thanks,” said Julia. That would be hard, but if it helped her, she would just grit her teeth and do it. She walked out of the therapist meeting feeling worse about herself. Was it wrong to love more than one man? Wasn’t it just a lifestyle she chose and people needed to accept it? Deciding she wasn’t going back to the therapist again, she drove towards home. She contemplated just doing what the therapist said. Her lifestyle choice was tough and she did want to just live normally. For the sake of her baby, at least. 
 At home, she said down at the dining table and grabbed her pink notebook. She wrote: 
   
 
 Dear Brandon, 
 
 
 It hurt me when you left. I know you probably don’t think I like you any differently from the men, but I do. I’ve always loved you, more than anyone else. More than even Dave. I wish you were here so we can talk about everything. About our baby, about our life and your man-bun. I could go on forever but my heart hurts too much. 
 
 
 Sincerely, 
 
 
 Julia B. 
 
   
 Julia set the pen down on the table, her tears threatening to splash all over the letter. She sighed heavily and pushed the notebook away from her. She read once that masturbating was a major stress reliever. She walked towards her room, intending to try just that. She rubbed herself between her legs as she walked, turning herself on. Pulling her jeans off, she grabbed a pillow from the bed and sat on it, like she would ride a horse. She humped on the pillow feeling the soft cotton rub against her underwear. It wasn’t hard enough. 
 Grabbing her vibrator she turned on and decided to try something different. She wondered how it would feel against her asshole. Turning the vibrator on to a light-speed setting, she dropped it inside her underwear and sat on it. Feeling the vibrator buried between her ass cheeks felt incredible. The vibration shook her asshole until she felt a warmth and heat spread throughout her body. Even hornier now, she slipped her hand inside her underwear to crank up the speed. Pushing the vibrator in deeper, she gasped at how powerful it was against her small asshole. Wanting to put something inside her vagina desperately, she looked around the room. There was nothing. 
 She decided to go to the kitchen and find something. She got up slowly, not wanting to dislodge the vibrator working its magic on her butt. As she slowly walked to the kitchen, she had to pause every few minutes. Looking around she couldn’t see anything that could immediately go inside her vagina. She opened the refrigerator. The cucumbers looked too large and she was terrified, even though there were stories of women using that. Then the purple grapes caught her eye. Grabbing a ziplock from on top of the fridge, she threw ten grapes inside of it. She sat on the kitchen floor and spread her legs wide. Putting her hand inside of her underwear, she squeezed the grapes one by one inside of her. The cold hardness of the grapes made her gasp. The ziplock provided a nice cover as the grapes popped inside of her clenching vagina. 
 “Oh,” she moaned, pulling the ziplock out and inside of her feeling the makeshift beads squeeze inside of her. The chill of the grapes made her so horny. The coldness didn’t bother her. It didn’t matter. She was so close. She cranked up the speed of the vibrator even more, feeling her ass hole clenching against it, fighting the invasion. Using her forefinger, she rubbed her clitoris as the grapes were now all inside of her vagina. She screamed in pleasure as she fingered her engorged clitoris harder, feeling her body release. Panting on the kitchen floor, still wearing her underwear, she smiled. That was a long time coming, she thought. She pulled the little vibrator out of her ass cheeks intending to wash it later. Slowly she grabbed the end of the ziplock and pulled it out. The bulging grapes, opening her up as they escaped, felt like large beads. She needed some real sex toys in her life.  
 “Hmm, a bitch in heat,” said a male voice behind her. Julia gasped, spinning around. Behind the kitchen wall, Anthony emerged, Julia recognizing his Nike shoes first. “We can fix that.” 
 “What are you doing here?! Get the hell out of my house,” said Julia, standing up and throwing away the wet bag of grapes. 
 “Yuck,” said Anthony. 
 Julia rolled her eyes. “Get out. Why are you stalking me still? You got what you wanted.” How could she not have heard the door opening? 
 “How does it feel? To be alone?” Anthony walked towards her. His looming presence, towering over her short body. She remembered her phone was still in the bedroom. Anthony then jumped towards her, stuffing a rough stinky cloth over her face. The smell of chloroform hit her nose before she could fight him. 
 Then darkness.

  Chapter 6 
 
 
   
 Feeling like a thousand pins were prickling her body, Julia slowly opened her eyes. She saw darkness. She tried to move her arms which were tied above her head. Wriggling her wrists maniacally, the sound of chain links banged against each other. Eyes adjusting to the dark, Julia looked around frantically. She was standing over a slab of cement in a basement. The walls were dripping were a crummy looking liquid. Sounds of mice scurrying filled her ears and her soul with fear. 
 “Hey!” she yelled. “Get me out of here!” She shook the chains on her wrists, the sound deafening against her ears. She paused and heard the sound of someone walking down the steps towards her. With bated breath, she listened. Her eyes trained on the door in front of her, fear of the unknown panicking her. 
 The door opened and she saw a belly enter in. Then his red beard followed in through the door. It was the cop. The cop who assaulted her, saying he needed to check for ‘drugs’. She swallowed. The bile threatening to rise from her throat. 
 “Why hello there my young promiscuous lady,” he greeted. “I’m Tommie, in case you forgot my name.” 
 “Release me,” said Julia. “I’ll do anything you want. I’m pregnant and I have a family.” 
 “You don’t have a family Julia,” said Tommie, scratching his beard. “I’m here to give you exciting news.” 
 “What’s that?” 
 Then another man stepped into the basement. He wore khaki shorts and a blue shirt. His face was young about in his late twenties but he seemed old. He had a hooked nose. 
 “Recognize me?” said the man with the khaki shorts. Julia instantly recognized him as the creeper outside of her home taking pictures. 
 “Who are you?” she said. “Why the hell am I here again?” 
 “I’m Justin,” he said, extending his hand. Then he saw her hands were tied up. “Oh oops.” He giggled. 
 Then more steps down the stairs and Anthony emerged, smiling. Julia tried to pull her wrists downward but it wouldn’t give. 
 “Back to what I was saying,” said Tommie. “We are here to help you. You lost all your men. We are going to be your new family!” 
 Julia’s heart sank. She had no chance against all three of them, sizing them up. Maybe the little guy named Justin. 
 “I don’t need a new family,” said Julia. 
 “You need three new men. You have us,” said Tommie, smiling excitedly. “We will not release you until you agree to be part of our family.” 
 “I’m not doing it,” she replied, gritting her teeth. 
 Tommie walked over to her and pulled a small knife out of his front shirt pocket. Julia’s heart almost stopped as he traced her bare neck with the knife slowly. Her eyes focused on his hairy arms. Then he brought the knife upwards and ripped the front of her hoodie and down her pregnant belly. She gasped. He barely missed her skin, but now she was exposed, sweater ripped open down the front. The tip of the knife pointed at her belly. His face locked in a grim determination to possibly exterminate her baby. 
 “Stop. Please don’t,” Julia begged him. 
 “You’ll do as we say,” threatened Tommie. “Are you going to be the woman of this family and agree to sleep with all of us?” 
 “Yes,” said Julia meekly; her eyes trained on the knife. 
 “Good,” said Tommie satisfied. “Kiss me.” 
 Julia’s eyes widened in horror, looking into his beady eyes. His beard was full of crumbs and he smelled like gasoline. She looked over at Anthony and Justin. Both looked amused, Anthony’s hand over his mouth. She closed her eyes, puckering her lips. Tommie’s lips were wet as it collided with hers. Then he pushed his tongue into her mouth which felt like a slug invasion. Julia nearly gagged a thousand times, until he withdrew his thick tongue. 
 She smiled at him, pretending she enjoyed the kiss. But she sighed with relief when his face pulled away from hers. 
 “Can you unchain me now?” she asked. 
 “Sure thing darling,” said Tommie. He grabbed a wrench from the back pocket of his jeans and started to work on the chains. 
 “Who is she going to spend the night with?” asked Justin eagerly. 
 “First myself, since I brought her here,” said Anthony. “Right Tom?” 
 “I’m not liking that idea,” said Tommie. 
 “No we made a deal,” said Anthony. “I get to fuck her first.” 
 Julia’s right arm fell to her side as Tommie unchained that one. Not long after, her other arm followed and she was finally unchained. 
 “Yeah whatever,” Tommie grunted. 
 Anthony made his way over to Julia and grabbed her neck, leading her up the dark stairs. His hands had a vice-like grip at the back of her throat. She kept her head down, forcing one foot in front of the other as she walked up the steps. When they finally made it out of the narrow stairway, Julia saw a living room with a wall painted red behind the couch. The couch was yellow and frayed. The walls were torn up. He led her through a narrow hallway and shoved her into a room. She lost her balance, falling sideways onto a bed. 
 “Anthony,” said Julia trying to make eye contact. He didn’t look at her as he walked back to lock the door. The room smelled like socks and there were laptops everywhere. “You don’t have to do this.” 
 “I do,” said Anthony, clicking the lock in place. 
 “Why? I didn’t do anything to you!” 
 “You broke my heart when you brought Brett into the picture. I was supposed to be your last,” said Anthony, turning back towards her. He started to take off his Nike sneakers. Julia looked towards the window and saw it was dead into the night already. Looking for any kind of weapon, she couldn’t find any. Anthony ripped off his shirt next, exposing his tanned brown muscles. 
 “You used to love me once. Do you remember?” said Julia. 
 “That’s long over,” said Anthony, kneeling now in front of her. “Take off your clothes.” 
 Julia looked down at the ripped sweater she was wearing, seeing she was half-naked already. She was just wearing underwear. She didn’t want to antagonize him, so she slowly removed the rest of what was left of the sweater. 
 “Anthony, if you get me out of here, I’ll be your one and only,” said Julia. “I always liked you the best from everyone else.” 
 Anthony narrowed his eyes, pondering. His eyes took in her naked big breasts and her bare thighs covered by her large belly. He grabbed both breasts, stroking her nipples. “I’ll think about it. Take off your underwear. Now.” 
 Julia’s hands were shaking as she stood up and peeled her white underwear down. It was stained from her last orgasm with the vibrator and grapes. 
 “It can be like old times,” said Julia desperately. “If you take me out of here.” She looked into his face, for any semblance of mercy. 
 “Lay down on the bed. I want to look at you,” said Anthony, ignoring her. Julia didn’t move, so he pushed her down. Her back flopped onto the thin lumpy mattress. She was now fully naked and exposed. Anthony grabbed her legs and spread them, looking into her vagina. He started to lick his lips, Julia breathing harder. She couldn’t help being turned on even though her mind was fighting against him. She didn’t want him to hurt her. 
 He then pulled her legs upwards until he could see her asshole. He slapped her butt cheeks, Julia feeling the impact from his hands. She could feel him spread one butt cheek away from the other. The cold air hit her asshole making her shiver. Now she wasn’t sure if it was from the cold or pleasure. His head was inching dangerously closer to her butt. His eyes fixated 
 “Please stop,” said Julia, but inside she knew she wanted him to. 
 “Shut up.” 
 His tongue sliced between her ass cheeks, her asshole now quivering in anticipation, slick with his saliva. Julia let out a light moan. He laughed at her reaction. Then he laid a finger directly over her clitoris, just letting it sit there. It was torture for Julia. She wished he would just get it over with instead of playing with her. Suddenly, there was a hard knock on the door. Julia’s felt his hand leave her clitoris and she sighed with relief. 
 “What do you want?” barked Anthony. 
 “Some dude popped your tires and ran off,” the voice belonging to Justin. Julia looked at Anthony and waited with bated breath. He got up and threw on his clothes as fast as possible. 
 “Fuck this shit,” said Anthony. “You stay here. We’re not done.” 
 Julia nodded, as compliant as possible. He rushed out of the room in a blur, closing the door behind him. She sat up in the bed, then she scooted to the edge of the bed. The filth of this room worried her. Something caught her eye below her feet. She looked down to see it was the corner of Anthony’s phone. He must have dropped it. Excitedly, she went down on her knees and unlocked his phone. She knew his passcode after having to beg for it before. Looking through his contacts, she found Brandon listed as a contact. 
 Her hands shaking, clicking on Brandon’s name, hitting dial. She hoped against hope Brandon would answer.

  Chapter 7 
 
 
   
 Pressing the phone against her ear. It just kept ringing and ringing. It went to voice mail. Julia decided to leave a message: 
 “Brandon it’s me, Julia. Anthony kidnapped me. I’m not sure if I’m at the cop’s house or not. “ She ended the voice mail there when she heard footsteps. The doorknob was starting to turn, so she threw the phone back under the bed. Tommie entered the room with a large sleazy smile. He shut the door behind him. 
 “Are you ready for me baby?” he said, eyes wide staring at her breasts. Her harsh breathing was making her breasts rise higher. She wanted to die, as he came closer. His stench of gasoline filling her nose again. He started unbuckling his pants, Julia looking away quickly. Her stomach turned as she heard the sound of his belt hitting the ground. She didn’t want to imagine how he looked like. 
 The door opened again, Julia looking up quickly. Anthony barged in the room. 
 “What are you doing?” he spun on Tommie. Julia looked at Tommie and accidentally saw a flash of his tiny pale flaccid penis beneath the folds of his pimply stomach. She nearly gagged. For the first time, she was glad Anthony was there. 
 “You were gone,” said Tommie, bending down to grab his pants. From the corner of her eyes, she could see his horrendously flat butt. “Man, you’re a cock-blocker ain’t ya.” 
 A ringing noise came from under the bed. Julia looked down to see it was the cell phone. Anthony bent down to grab it, Julia saw it said Brandon on the screen. She bit her lip and crossed her hands on her lap. 
 “What the hell does he want?” said Anthony staring at the screen. 
 “Answer it stupid,” said Tommie. “Tell him the girl has a new family now.” Julia prayed under her breath that he wouldn’t answer the phone. Anthony answered the phone. 
 “What are you doing to her?” said Brandon, his voice ringing clear through the room. His voice was full of fury. 
 “Fuck off,” said Anthony. 
 “If you do anything to her, so help me god. IF you do anything, I’ll beat your sorry ass,” Brandon threatened. Julia’s eyes started to tear up, Brandon still cared. Anthony hung up on him, then he looked at Julia. Her heart sank at the look in his eyes. He was furious and she knew that look all too well. 
 “You called him,” Anthony accused. Julia shook her head furiously. “Don’t lie bitch.” He quickly grabbed her wrist, twisting it. Julia yelped in pain. 
 “Stop Anthony!” she cried. 
 “We’re taking her back to the basement,” Anthony said to Tommie. “She obviously still doesn’t know who her new family is.” 
 Tommie cackled. He seemed to take pleasure in her distress. Julia’s wrist was in pain as Anthony grabbed her arm, dragging her down the stairs and into the basement, naked. All the while, she was pleading for him to stop. 
 “I hate you,” Julia said, trying to drag her arm away from his grip. Now in the darkness, Anthony flipped the light on. A small light bulb hung on the ceiling in the middle of the room. He let go of her momentarily to grab the chains. She looked towards the stairs and before she could contemplate running, he had her in his grip again. It didn’t take long for him to chain her arms upward towards the ceiling. Her cheeks wet with tears, she tried to slip her hands through the chains but her right wrist burned with pain. Anthony proceeded to chain her ankles to hooks on the ground. This was like a torture chamber, thought Julia. 
 “Have fun,” said Anthony. Then looking at her belly. “We’ll wait until its born then we’ll get rid of it.” Anthony kicked her in the legs, Julia brought her legs together in pain. Then he went up the steps, leaving her behind in the dim light of the room. 
 After he left, Julia sighed loudly. There was no way out of this. She shouldn’t have used his cell phone. Looking around, her eyes adjusting to the dark, she saw there was no way out. Naked, cold and alone was not what she envisioned happening today. It was better than being in Tommie’s presence. She was just starting to get her life together and go to therapy. Her legs hurt and she looked down seeing her thighs were red. She licked her lips, thirst overwhelming her. She stood there, hanging from the chains in silence. She would think of a plan tomorrow, she would need to rest now. 
 The next day, the sun shone through the dirt-encrusted windows. Only a few rays of sunlight were able to sneak through. She opened her eyes wearily. This was day two since her kidnapping and Julia’s stomach rumbled. Was she also supposed to pee here? Scared to call anyone down, she stood there with swollen feet for what felt like an hour. Hearing footsteps coming down the stairs, she looked up to see Justin. He was holding a bucket. He chuckled at her condition. He walked to her and grabbed one of her aching breasts. He rubbed her breast up and down. 
 “Ugh,” Julia groaned. 
 “You’re supposed to use the bathroom in this bucket,” said Justin, setting it down between her legs. He stood there to watch her. 
 “Unchain me and I’ll give you the best blow job of your life,” said Julia. Justin hesitated then he shook his head and proceeded to go up the steps. Julia looked down, dejected. It looked like he wasn’t that easy to trick. Then a crashing sound resonated through the room, and Justin came flying down the steps. Julia gasped, seeing his prone body lying on the floor. Did he fall down the steps and break his neck? Then running footsteps and she saw a face at the door that she thought she would never see again. Brandon stood there with an ax in one hand and a gun in the other. Her heart was elated to see him. 
 “Brandon!” said Julia. 
 “Baby what did they do to you?” he asked, as he used the ax to hit the chains loose from her bloody wrists. Tears of joy were streaming down from Julia’s face. 
 “I’m so glad you’re here,” she breathed. His beautiful face and his annoying man-bun was the only thing she wanted to see. 
 “That son of a bitch is going to pay,” said Brandon, fury in his eyes. He finally untied the last of the chains and she felt relieved to finally let her hands hang loose at her sides. The feeling was priceless. “Is the baby okay?” 
 “Yes, he wanted to murder it after it was born,” said Julia. Brandon now moved to her feet, bloody and torn. He untied the chains around her ankles, breathing hard. 
 “He finally came to the rescue,” said Anthony’s voice. 
 “Fuck off,” said Brandon, finished with untying the chains. Julia’s heart beat faster with fear. Brandon drew his gun on Anthony, Anthony stepping back. 
 “Calm down,” said Anthony holding his hands up in surrender. 
 “You hurt her,” said Brandon. “What did I say on the phone? You’re a dead man. I’d like to torture you first though.” He dropped the gun and wielded the large red ax with both hands, brandishing it. 
 “Brandon, no,” said Julia, grabbing his arm. “You’ll go to jail.” 
 “I don’t care,” said Brandon furiously, primal rage in his eyes. 
 “You should listen to her,” said Anthony, and in the next second he had his gun out. It was pointed directly at Brandon. Julia looked at Brandon’s gun, her hands shaking uncontrollably. The gun was right in front of her. “If anyone moves, I shoot.” 
 Julia screamed and jumped for the gun on the floor. A shot rung in the air, Julia still screaming. She grabbed the gun, the cool metal hitting her hands. She looked back to see that Anthony missed. Brandon was still standing. She threw the gun towards Brandon. After catching it, Brandon pulled the trigger. Anthony collapsed on the floor grabbing his leg. The sounds of police siren were outside. A rush of footsteps entered the house, searching. 
 “Over here!” screamed Julia. Within a few moments police swarmed the basement, and a blanket was wrapped around her body. A policeman started to question Brandon.  As she was led out of the basement, by a policewoman, she looked at Anthony who was being questioned too. “Tommie too. Tommie and Justin kidnapped me.” The policewoman took notes in her clipboard as Julia named the names. Justin was still lying prone on the floor. She stood in the living room waiting for Brandon to emerge. 
 “We should go,” said the policewoman. 
 “I’m not leaving without Brandon,” Julia said. 
 “Alright then,” said the policewoman. “But you do need hospital care right? You look very bruised up.” 
 “I’m fine,” said Julia, despite her broken wrist and burning legs. 
 Not too long after, Brandon emerged with a policeman following him. Anthony was handcuffed and led behind him up the steps. His face was twisted in pain as he hobbled on one leg. The policemen looked like they didn’t care. Brandon took Julia’s hand, leading her outside. 
 “Don’t look back anymore,” said Brandon. “Let’s get you to the hospital.” Julia nodded. Brandon looked at her face, concern in his eyes. He tilted her chin upwards, forcing her to look at him. 
 “What Brandon?” said Julia, looking into his soft brown eyes. 
 “I read your letter. I love you too,” said Brandon. “I always have. I was the one who left you cash at your door every day.” Julia’s heart was beating so fast, as his face neared hers. His lips descended on hers in a light kiss. His face left hers, making her want more of him. The ambulance was there now, and the paramedics led Julia towards it. Julia held onto Brandon’s hand, not wanting to let him go ever again.

  Chapter 8 
 
 
   
 Dressed in a flowy cotton white dress, Julia sat on the swing of the porch of her new house, cuddling with Brandon. 
 “Little Jessica is lucky to have you as a mom,” said Brandon, his arm wrapped around her. His strong thighs melded against her soft ones as they sat very close together. Julia turned around to look through the window. Jessica was sitting cross-legged on the living room floor surrounded by crayons. Her wild black curly hair was strewn around her face as she scribbled on her kindergarten homework with immense concentration. 
 “She’s lucky to have you too,” said Julia. “It doesn’t matter who her father is biologically, you’ll always be her father.” 
 “Mhm,” he replied, kissing her cheeks. “I’ll take you to therapy today.” 
 “No, it’s okay,” said Julia. She honestly didn’t want Brandon to get jealous if he saw who her therapist was. Evan was a looker that was for sure, but she loved Brandon. Brandon’s hand wandered down Julia’s back until it rested on her butt. “Not here.” 
 “I need you,” said Brandon suddenly. 
 “I can’t just have sex with you whenever you want,” said Julia. But her body contradicted what she was trying to say. Brandon’s eyes were on her nipples that were now poking from the white dress. He smiled broadly. 
 “Let’s go,” said Brandon, pulling her up. 
 “But Jessica,” said Julia. 
 “She’s busy,” said Brandon. “We can be quick.” 
 They went inside the house and locked the door. 
 “We’ll be back in a minute sweetheart,” Julia said to her daughter who was still playing on the floor. Jessica nodded quickly, too absorbed in her coloring project. 
 Julia went into their room and locked the door. Brandon was already unzipping his jeans. When his jeans fell to the floor he made his way over to Julia. He ran his hands over her bare legs under the dress. His hands squeezed her thighs as she leaned against the wall. His head suddenly disappeared under the dress. Julia gasped when she felt his tongue kiss her thighs, going upwards. Kisses trailed the inside of her thighs. She spread her legs for him, desperate for him to make it to her vagina faster. His mouth rested on her vagina now, over her cotton underwear. He kissed her again. 
 “I want to take my underwear off,” said Julia. Brandon growled at her. She pushed his head away and stripped out of her underwear. His head returned to its spot almost instantly. Julia felt his tongue exploring her, tasting her. His tongue flicked over her clitoris and she moaned. A finger was inserted into her vagina as he sucked her clitoris vigorously. 
 “Cum for me Juli,” said Brandon, then he resumed sucking. She felt her legs tremble with pleasure. He wanted her juices badly and she knew she had to give it to him. He would not let go until she did. “Relax and cum for me baby. I’m thirsty for you.” 
 At that point, Julia was so horny and about to explode. She shuddered as she was overcome by waves of her orgasm. She felt his tongue lapping and slurping her juices. When he had enough, he stood up, penis rock hard. 
 “I want you,” said Julia. Brandon grabbed her waist and lifted her as he pierced her with his dick. He kissed her on the mouth as he thrust inside her, grunting. He used one hand to lift her left leg upwards, opening her further. With each thrust, he grunted the words; 
 “I.Love.You,” he said, pausing between each word. His eyes held her gaze as he exploded inside of her, pushing deeper inside. 
 “I love you too,” said Julia, kissing his lips. He laid his head on her shoulder to rest. This was hands down the best and hottest quickie she ever had. 
   
 *** 
 At therapy, Julia was starting to realize a lot about herself as a person. Evan sat in his usual spot behind his desk as she sat across from him in a large armchair. 
 “How are you feeling now?” he asked. “I’m sure you’re slowly getting over the traumatizing events that happened a few years ago?” 
 “It’s taking a while but yes,” she replied. 
 “Have you felt the need to get into multiple relationships again?” he asked. If Julia was going to be honest, she used to fantasize about having Evan and Brandon with her in bed. Her body writhing between them, with Evan’s head between her legs. 
 “No,” Julia lied. 
 Evan tilted his head to one side. “Are you lying to me?” 
 “No,” said Julia more vehemently. Gosh, he was so hot when he looked at her like that. 
 “Then you’re doing a lot better. This can be our last session.” 
 Julia panicked. “I don’t know.” 
 “Don’t know what?” he said, a knowing look in his eye. “Tell me the truth, Julia.” The way he rolled the letter ‘L’ in her name, almost made her faint. 
 “I still have those feelings,” said Julia. “I want someone else and I want Brandon.” 
 “Yes those feelings can be hard to disperse,” said Evan. Then he walked around from the desk until he was standing next to her, looking out the large window behind his desk. His hand touched her neck, playing with her hair. Julia couldn’t breathe. The heat of his hand brushing her neck, filled her body with electricity and life. She grabbed his hand and pulled it away from her. She stood up slowly. 
 “I’m with Brandon, only Brandon,” she said softly. Then she walked out of the room, head held high, proud of herself for giving up the temptation. 
 “I respect that!” Evan called through the door. Julia looked back to see him give her a thumbs up with pride in his face for how far she’s come. 
   
 *** 
 “Catch!” yelled Jessica, throwing the yellow ball at Julia. Her five-year-old self fell as she threw the ball at Julia. Julia laughed. She loved her life with her new little one and Brandon. Julia decided to not get a DNA test for her child. She didn’t care about child support, she just wanted love and stability for her little family. 
 Julia ran after the ball and was about to toss it back to Jessica. Jessica was distracted though. Her black curls in a wild halo around her head. Julia looked to see where Jessica was looking and she gasped when she saw him. It was Evan walking down the driveway towards her. 
 “What are you doing here?” asked Julia. 
 “I can’t stop thinking about you Julia,” said Evan, his eyes focused on her face. “I know it’s unprofessional but I’ve never had a patient like you before.” 
 Julia’s heart almost stopped. She bit her lower lip. “Jessica go inside. I need to talk to my doctor.” 
 “Okay mommy,” said Jessica. Brandon would only be gone for another hour, Julia thought. After the door closed behind Jessica, Julia turned on Evan. 
 “You helped me become better,” said Julia. “Now you want to drag up old feelings?” 
 “So you’re admitting you have feelings for me?” said Evan. 
 “I don’t,” said Julia, arms crossed. She thought she was over him, but him standing was bringing back a lot of old emotions. He was the only one who knew her through and through listening to her stories, her past. She had thought this day would never come. 
 Evan turned her face upwards towards him. He brought his face down to hers and kissed her fiercely. His tongue ravishing her mouth until her body responded likewise. Her legs felt like jello as his hand rested on her butt, squeezing with force. She felt his penis press hard against her belly and she started to feel aroused. He pulled away as quickly as he had started. 
 “I needed to do that. Just once,” said Evan. Julia’s head was reeling with how fast this was going. “I’ll go.” He turned around and proceeded to walk to his car. Conflicted emotions, ran through her mind. 
 “Wait,” she called. Evan turned around, his eyes sparkling with a naughty passion, at the same time filled with hope. 
 “Yes?” he replied. 
 “Don’t leave me yet.”
