Sex every night, usually multiple times
Orgas failed to deliver It's al hts as he's able to
For the first few days, it was easy to give in to it I'd go to ave me a key and told me to make myself comfortable, and thus I did I treated his hoiving up my job at the diner Beck's "stipend" to coiven that ain until after I got ain in a diner So in my downtime, I studied even harder, and the only deviation hen Beck commanded my attention It was ridiculously easy for him to do so
But after a few days, I settled in and started to think again of e et the feeling he's closed off, it's just that neither one of us has et to know the other person outside of the best way to pleasure each other For him, I think that's because he's focused on sex For me, it's because I need to remain aloofdetached It's the best way to keep my heart protected
But on the sex front, we know quite a lot about each other, and I figure the more he's distracted with sex, the less chance he'll ever have of figuring out the woman behind the facade
After I had been here four days, I decided I needed to getaboutto help me murder Jonathon Townsend I searched Beck's hoot out It was pristine, al anything, I dumped out all of his clothes fro That, of course, leda
But if I' in quickly on the halfway ure out more about his relationship with JT Only then will I be able to deterly help me achieve justice
The only potential I've seen so far is his locked office I've searched high and low for a key, and the only one I've been able to identify is the one that Beck keeps on his key chain with his car and house keys He's used it twice since I've been here, ht home in there He always has those keys in his pocket when he's out and about, but when he comes home he places theured out how to get in his office, but I' it over
And while e in oal that caotten to the condo around six PM, which was usually standard As nor through it I was sitting at his dining table, which sat perpendicular to the length of the open living rooeous view of the bay at sunset
He'd started a habit of walking over tome on the top of my head The first ti since I'd been shown a spontaneous act of affection I wasn't sure I liked it But the next night he did it, it felt nice And the night after that, even better
It had gotten to where I expected it now, and it was a silly ritual that broughtI don't think I ever experienced since ht ten years ago I avoided theue thereafter and didn't even kiss another man until I enty years old and quite drunk
So Beck walked over toroom table and plopped the mail down by rabbedon it so my face tilted He kissed eous"
"Hey," I whispered back
"What do you feel lik
e for dinner?" he asked, releasinghis jacket off
"I'"
"Let's do so back toward his bedroom My eyes dropped to the pile of mail, and I saw an envelope that he had already opened as clearly a birthday card sitting on top of it My hand reached out, never once considering his privacy, and I picked up the card It was generic-looking with a birthday cake on the front On the inside just a sie, HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Under that it wasn't even signed, but was staraphy with the names MR AND MRS BECKETT NORTH, SR
His parents
A rush of anger and sadness hit me all at once, that this was the type of card they would send their son I got up from my chair and walked into Beck's bedroo on a pair of jeans He looked up at me with a smile, then his eyes dropped to the card in my hand, back up to me with the same smile
"Today's your birthday?" I asked quietly
He laughed and nodded at the card in o Mythat to me"
I gasped in outrage His parents actually had someone send a card to him? And it was late on top of that?
Beck buttoned his fly and walked up tomy face in my hands He looked at me with sympathy
