Now You See Me

Chapter 12

Dany was tired and irritable as she descended the stairs of the subway station into an underworld of trash, piss, and bodily odors. Her feet were killing her after standing in five-inch heels all day while giving presentations to clients and it didn't help that her boss had been an absolute bitch, yelling at her in front of everyone at a staff meeting. The past few days had been especially draining as her public relations firm was in the midst of prepping for New York Fashion Week. She'd been working overtime every day; arriving early, leaving late, and barely having time to even take a lunch break. Now all she wanted to do was get home, crawl into bed, and go to sleep.

A few minutes later the train arrived. She stepped into the nearest car and took a seat, grateful that she wouldn't have to stand as other commuters quickly filled up all the available spaces in their rush to get home. Two stops later, however, an elderly woman hobbled aboard, leaning heavily on a cane. Dany looked around expectantly, hoping someone would give up his or her seat, but no one did as they carefully avoided eye contact while busying themselves with their phones. Feeling bad for the woman, Dany stood up and offered her seat, which the woman graciously accepted.

"Oh, bless you, child." She smiled, revealing a chipped tooth. "You're just a little angel, aren't you?"

Dany smiled warmly at her as she grabbed onto a nearby handrail to prevent herself from falling. "I try to be."

The subway ride seemed to go on forever as the train lurched and jerked at every stop, jostling her into her fellow passengers, and it wasn't long before she had a pounding headache along with throbbing feet. Her phone chirped, signaling an incoming text message, and she hastily dug it out of the side pocket of her purse.

Please don't be my boss. Please don't be my boss. She chanted inwardly, bracing herself for yet another ridiculous demand. To her pleasant surprise, however, it was Jon's smiling face lighting up the screen.

Jon: Hey, Babe. I'm home. You close?

Dany: Still about 30 min out 😭

Jon: Everything okay?

She sighed, clutching her purse closer as more and more people crowded onto the train.

Dany: Not really... bad day at work and my feet hurt like hell!

Jon: Aw, babe, I'm sorry. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything once you get home 🍆

She smirked as a host of naughty thoughts ran through her mind.

Dany: Can't wait 😏

The rest of the train ride was somewhat more bearable as she had Jon's lovely cock to look forward to. She couldn't wait for him to fuck all of her stress away. She sighed happily, imagining all the kinky things they were going to get into once she got home, and before she knew it, the train pulled up to her stop.

She stepped off the subway, climbed the stairs to the street level above, and walked the few short blocks to the townhouse she shared with Jon. She opened the front door to find rose petals scattered about the floor and a small, handwritten note waiting for her on a nearby table.

FOLLOW THE TRAIL

Intrigued, she did as her lover instructed, following the trail of rose petals as she made her way upstairs into their bedroom and finally the adjoining bathroom. She gasped at the sight that greeted her as Jon sat in the large, circular tub with damp, raven curls framing his face and a sexy smile teasing his lips.

Large candles glowed around the tub, giving the dimly lit bathroom a soft, romantic ambiance as the sounds of a sultry saxophone filled the air. Fresh rose petals floated in the water, giving off a delicious fragrance, and alongside the marble ledge stood a bottle of merlot and two full wine glasses.
