Stolen Kiss (Erotic Thriller)

Chapter 20

*~*Two Months Later*~*

Lexi: What time will you be home?

David: You're there??

Lexi: Of course, silly. I wanted to talk. Can you come home?

David glanced over his phone at Natalie and Raiden watching their movie. He returned Nat's smile, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear and typed his reply. "Give me about 20 minutes?"

Lexi: I'll be here waiting

His heart pounded and mouth went dry. Lexi was at the house and wanted to talk. But what about Natalie? She had agreed to try again and David had her right where he needed her. But Lexi...fuck...Lexi was his wife and Mistress. When the Mistress demands her submissive, you don't keep her waiting.

David cleared his throat and stood from the sofa, uncomfortably aware of the eyes on him. "Sorry, gorgeous. I need to get home," he said, leaning over to kiss Natalie briefly.

"I thought you were staying over tonight," Nat replied, furrowing her brow in confusion.

"Daddy stay!" Raiden exclaimed.

"Something's come up, kiddo," David said giving his son's hair a ruffle.

Natalie raised an eyebrow at him. "What's come up?"

"Just some business discussion that I need to deal with," David shrugged, "Nothing you need to bother yourself about."

"This late?" She questioned. "It's eight o'clock at night."

"So? Look, I said you don't need to know, so let's drop it, huh?" he snapped a little. "I promise I'll make it up to you tomorrow night, babygirl."

Natalie's lips tightened into a hard line. "Is there something you're not telling me?" She watched as David slipped on his sneakers and grabbed his leather jacket from the coat hook.

"Fuck, Nat," David said, "It's Lexi, okay? She wants to talk about the divorce papers. I...I have to go. I'll talk to you later, baby."

"That's fucking bullshit, David, and you know it," she growled, storming over and pulled at his arm. "You said you wanted us to try again yet you go running at her beck and call?"

"She's still my wife, so..." he sighed and threw his hands up, "I gotta deal with her too."

Natalie snapped her hands to her hips, rolling her eyes. "Must be such a difficult life," she replied dryly and snatched his keys from the table. "You don't need to deal with anything. Not tonight."

"Give me the keys, Natalie," he said, a slight chill had entered his voice and his face changed as though a mask of indifference had fallen over it.

She turned back towards the couch and dangled the keys from her finger. "Make me, you selfish prick. You're the one who came crawling back to me, begging for another chance."

"Selfish? Who kept my son from me for all these years?" he spat back, "Now I'm going to ask you one more time to give me my keys back."

"Or what?"

David strode swiftly over to the couch and pushed Natalie back by her shoulders and snarled out, "I said give me the fucking keys, bitch."

"Daddy no!" Raiden threw the bear he was holding at David's head.

"GO TO YOUR ROOM," David yelled at him, his eyes flashing with icy fire. The boy yelped in surprise and started crying inconsolably.

"Don't fucking yell at him, asshole!!" Natalie shivered as David's eyes glazed over, the bright blue darkening. It was the same look she'd seen many years ago when David... "Oh god...Raiden, it's okay. Go upstairs. I want you to shut and lock your door, okay? Can you do that for mommy?"
