him.
    Why did he have to be
so handsome?
    Lily didn’t care about
his age, and if she was honest, she didn’t care about her
situation. Her family hated her, and the situation she was in left
everything to be desired. A child though, a big step even for her.
At only twenty-one, she wasn’t sure if she was ready for such a
huge commitment.
    “I’m not ready for a
child. I can’t do that on my own,” she whispered. All the time her
fears reverted to being alone.
    “Baby, I’ll never let
you be on your own. I’m in this with you till the very end.” He
took her in his arms and hugged her. Lily held on not knowing what
else to do.
    She could be carrying
their child.
    The thought filled her
with fear and immense pleasure.
     
     

Chapter
Thirteen
     
    The weekend went by
without another hitch, and Wayne was thankful to the heavens for
giving him such a small grace. Lily remained tense around him, but
in time, she would come to see he wasn’t all that bad.
    They made love at every
turn, and Lily always found the time to take a shower or a long
bath. He knew what she was doing, but all he could do was sit back
and watch. Lily was younger than he was. He needed to respect that.
He refused to wear a condom. It made him a bastard, but then he
lived up to his nickname, Beast.
    There were times he
caught her staring at him. He could sense her attraction. Her
feelings were growing toward him but, like always, she’d back off
and continue with what she was doing.
    It infuriated him. All
he needed was time. Time to show her who he really was and time for
her to love him.
    At the office the
following Monday, Tony and Richard waited for him. Both of his
friends were becoming the thorn in his side.
    “What can I do for you,
gentlemen?”
    “We’re just two men
coming to see how married life is treating our friend,” Tony said
while Richard started laughing, drawing attention from the three
waiting women.
    “Come into my
office.”
    They all settled in,
and his personal assistant brought them each a cup of black
coffee.
    “I’ve got the deeds and
the documents you need to sign for the house,” Richard said.
    Wayne took the papers
and signed everything before handing it back and sipping his
coffee.
    “So, how did it go in
dream land with the missus,” Tony asked.
    “Well, besides the
little glitch of children being mentioned it went really well.” He
sipped his coffee thinking about his wife.
    “You know it’s only a
matter of time before she figures out how you screwed her in the
contract,” Richard warned.
    Wayne glared at him. He
didn’t want to hear about it. He knew his friend disapproved of
what he’d done but any other man would have done it in his
position, wouldn’t they?
    “Has she met your
family?” Tony asked steering the conversation from the sticky
subject of his wife and how tightly bound to him she actually
was.
    “No, and if I have my
way, she never will.” His parents lived on a remote island where
they couldn’t hurt any more people. Consumed by drink and drugs, it
was safest to keep them out of the way.
    “She’ll find out
eventually.” Richard spoke this time.
    “Yeah, and she’ll
realize the type of monster I truly am, not just some fucked-up
Beast people like to call me.”
    “Don’t give us that
shit, Wayne. You’re nothing like your parents, and besides, you’d
never hurt a woman,” Tony said.
    “Yeah, all the women
you’ve fucked over the years are speaking praises of you. The only
bad shit they got to say is you fucked them and then left,” Richard
added.
    Shaking his head, Wayne
didn’t need to think about this. Their situation was bad enough.
The distance between them already, never mind the bleakness of his
past.

    When he got home that
night, he looked around and saw how clinical his apartment was.
    “Lily, baby?” he
called.
    “I’m in here,” she
replied. Wayne walked through to the kitchen to find her whisking
up some kind of sauce.
    “What are you
