“Really?” I do a little jump from excitement. “Mom, are we leaving? All of us?”

She nods eagerly. “Yes, we are all leaving together. We will go to Mexico and remain safe there under their protection. Julian can’t get to you there, and he’ll forget about you soon enough. You can even go to school there in Mexico if you’d like. If that is still your goal, they have nursing programs you can apply to.”

“Yes, yes. That is amazing. When do we leave? What do you think, Evie?” I look her way, and she doesn’t say anything, just shrugs. She’s been acting weird today. I won’t let her mood deter me from asking questions. “What’s the plan, Mom?”

She looks over at my dad. “Well, Uncle Andrés is going to come for us after graduation. Then we all load up into a car and leave everything behind. Just disappear.”

I let out a sigh, grabbing my hair in frustration. “I am supposed to go to dinner with Julian and his family Friday evening. Is this something I should still do?”

I look over to my mom and dad. They decide that, yes, I should continue to act what Julian considers to be normal. Okay. Then that is what I will do.

Julian mentioned that I should dress up since the restaurant that we are going to is a bit fancy. I apply my red lipstick like Julian likes and blot it with a napkin. I get a message from him when I pick my phone up to check the time.

Julian

I’m here.

Emma

Be right out.

I make sure not to take too long and kiss my parents. My sister isn’t home, but my mom said she should be back any minute. A minute is something I don’t have.

I grab my purse and shut the door behind me with a little pep, knowing this is almost done. Just one more day, and I’ll be in Mexico after graduation.

CHAPTER 5

Emma

Iapproach the SUV, and the driver opens the door for me. When I get in, I notice a young woman I didn’t know was in the car, too. The door shuts behind me, and I take my seat, looking at the scene before me, unsure of what is happening. The woman is kneeling in front of Julian. That’s when I realize what is going on. His pants are around his hips, and he is thrusting into this stranger’s mouth. He doesn’t even spare me a glance as he pushes this poor woman’s mouth onto his cock, forcing her to take more of him. I hear her gag, and he sets a punishing pace fucking her face and using her like a random hole to fuck. I try to look away, but he grabs my chin.

“Look, Emma, look at how far she takes me in.”

I hear the woman whimper as his movements become sporadic and his breathing picks up. This is his telltale sign that he is about to come. Another thrust, and he finishes, sending his load down her throat.

He pushes her off him, removes his handkerchief from his pocket, and cleans up before tucking himself back into his trousers. He tosses the used material to the young woman kneeling on the SUV floor. She begins to wipe saliva, cum, and tears from her face. I look at the woman, not commenting on thesituation but thankful that I didn’t have to please him before I saw his parents tonight at dinner.

“Pull over,” he says to the driver, and the SUV stops alongside an unfamiliar side street. “Get out.” He looks at the woman and moves his head toward the door.

I looked at him because I initially thought he was talking to me. He looks at the woman and tilts his head toward the door again, indicating that her ride is over.

She protests, but the driver opens the door and removes her from the vehicle. She is unceremoniously discarded from the car like a piece of trash. I hear the door close, and the driver returns to the SUV and drives off, leaving the woman in who-knows-where Brownsville.

I look over to Julian, and he just slides his finger down my cheek in a gentle caress as if I didn’t just witness my boyfriend getting head from a stranger in the SUV he picked me up in to go and have dinner with his parents. What a fucking head case.

“I didn’t want to ruin your beautiful makeup tonight when we are having dinner with my parents. I did that for you, Emma. She means nothing to me, just like the woman I fucked yesterday on my business trip. I won’t keep any of them, just you.”

I want to rage and scream at him about how fucked up this all sounds, but what do I care. I will be out of this situation tomorrow, so with that, I will give my Academy Award-winning performance. He must believe me because he kisses me lightly on the lips and goes to lift my skirt. He moves his fingers up my legs and onto the slit on my pussy where he rubs his finger back and forth along the fabric.

“Take these off, Emma.” I do and hold them in my lap. He takes them from me and puts them in his pocket.

I didn’t even realize we had come to a stop. As the door opens, Julian helps me out of the SUV. He holds my hand as wewalk into the restaurant. My only consolation is knowing my life will change forever when I leave here tonight.

We are dropped off in front of the swanky Argentinian steakhouse adjacent to the canals. Julian holds the door open and guides me to the hostess station with his hand on my lower back. The restaurant is busy, but when the hostess sees him, she smiles and greets him by name.

“Hello, Mr. Martinez.” She blushes and tucks an imaginary strand of hair behind her ear.

I look over at her and laugh to myself. Yeah, I thought the same thing too. She just continues to stare, and I clear my throat. This makes her snap out of it as she looks my way.
