I led her into Laura and Rays bedroom. Laura was as I left her but tired, her back was sagging from so long on her hands and knees.I told Rachelle to...crawl on the bed with Laura. Both of them had wild eyes and horrified looks. I leaned down and whispered in Rachelle's ear, "I know it is a shitty thing to say, but you know I know deep dark sexual secrets about you" Rachelle tensed. I said sternly, "Rachelle, get on the bed slut!" Rachelle complied. I told her to turn doggy style facing me.. "This whole mess is my fault and I fully take the blame and any ass kicking you feel like dishing out." Nikolai said as he ran his hand through his recently disheveled hair."Wait. You two know each other?" Ivy said in confusion as she hopped down from the counter."Of course we do. Niko and I are friends, not to mention he's your silent backer for this place." As Cole spoke he turned his head in Ivy's direction.Ivy was stunned into silence at hearing her father's comment. Nikolai looked away. ‘The pancakes were great, Sally. Thank you,’ said someone from the crowd. ‘Yeah, the food was really good,’ echoed another voice in the crowd of a couple hundred. ‘God Bless you,’ said someone else. ‘I asked you all to gather around, not to pray, but for an announcement that I need to make. I mean, of course, we will all say a prayer together later, but I wanted to tell you what is happening that directly will affect you,’ she said looking from one to another. Many of the faces in the crowd. ”“Like I said, it is complicated.”“As complicated as you want to keep fucking me?”“As complicated as that relationship is the closest I can be to you and have you as my own.”I growled in frustration. “You always say that, and it’s bullshit. Look, I appreciate you putting this much work into convincing me of that, but I’m not going to be fooled into this again.” I began to rise and he stood too, palms outstretched.“No don’t go, please, I made all this myself. If nothing else please just have.
