Thanks for reviewing!
Very Adult Content... don't read if forced situations make you uncomfortable.
Jodi POV
I woke up the next morning and Dexter was still asleep. I sighed and glanced at the time. It was 6am and I couldn't sleep anymore. I wrote him a note, and slipped out. I got into my car and went to the one place I always went when I needed to think... the beach.
I walked up about the time the sun was rising, and it was beautiful. I had a towel and sat on the sand. I didn't have to wait long until I heard footsteps walking up to me. Becky plopped down beside me and hugged me. I had called her and asked her to meet me here. I needed a friend.
"What's going on?" She asked me and I held up my hand. She took a second before throwing herself on me in a hug.
"Dexter is back!" She sang and I chuckled. I am glad that someone was happy for me.
"Yes, and I said yes, but we told his Mom yesterday. She asked us if we were sure because sometimes we weren't always great for each other." I said and Becky wrinkled her nose at that.
"I don't think anyone is perfect for each other. I know me and Seth aren't but because we love each other and know we want to be together that it works even through arguments." She said and I nodded. I needed to hear that. I had to admit when Becky and Seth got together... I didn't think they would make it.
"Thanks." I said and she chuckled.
"What about his Dad?" She asked me.
"He was happy as hell for us." I said and she smiled.
"Don't say anything because the party I am inviting everyone to us when we are announcing it." I said and she nodded.
"Good luck with Cash." She said and I sighed.
"He already saw it, and wouldn't talk to me. He walked away saying all he ever wanted was a chance." I said and Becky gave me a hug. She knew about my past with Cash and all the ups and downs. I knew that he would take it some kind of way, but I thought deep down he might be happy for me. I was wrong... again.
We sat there and talked for awhile before I needed to check on the club, and she had to get back before her shift she picked up for lunch. She didn't know I was going to be picking up with her. Today should be better than yesterday.
Dexter POV
I woke up the next morning and Jodi wasn't in bed. I found a note next to the coffee pot.
Needed girl time... see you tonight after I bartend. ~ Love you, Jodi
I texted her I was up and about my meeting. She told me to come over for dinner tonight. I showered and headed to the winery for my meeting. Dad was already there.
"What's the matter? You should be happy." He said and I chuckled.
"I told Mom and she asked us if we were sure. Jodi got really upset." I said and Dad rolled his eyes.
"I'm not even sure your mother was sure when she married me... don't listen to her for once." He said and I smirked.
We met with the board and shareholders. Dave was there and I invited him to the party so he was there when we announced it. The rest of my day was boring, and I couldn't wait to see Jodi.
"Dexter, you got a second?" my dad asked me before I could leave.
"I am meeting Jodi for dinner tonight." I said and he nodded.
"I wanted to tell you don't worry about your mother, and let me know if you all need anything for the wedding." he said and I nodded.
"Thanks, Dad." I said and he chuckled.
"I am just glad you are both happy." he said and I smiled. I was glad to at least have my dad's support... maybe Mom would come on board soon enough. I got a text from Jodi that she had to do the couples dance and then she would meet me at her house. I told her I would figure out dinner. I just hope that her day was going better than mine had.
Jodi POV
I was annoyed that I had to do the dance tonight. I couldn't be mad because I gave Charlotte the night off before I knew we had a party booked. I had changed into the outfit and walked backstage. Roman whistled at me and I smirked at him.
"Looking forward to the party." he said and I chuckled.
"I'm glad... it will be fun." I said as Cash walked up to me.
"Will it?" he asked me and I looked at him.
"I guess it depends on your perception of things." I shot back and he chuckled.
"Come on, let's get this over with." he said and I nodded.
We did the dance and Cash was much more touchy this time compared to the last time we did the dance. I made it through it and got off the stage. I headed straight back to change as Cash stayed right behind me. I turned when I got to the door and he was watching me.
"I don't need your help this time." I said and he smirked as he pulled the door open.
"I think you do." he said and nudged me inside.
"Cash..." I said but he pushed me in the room and shut the door. I had never been scared of Cash, but I didn't want to be in this position right now.
"Jodi, shut up. I have been your friend for years at this point... and you never once looked my way. You said you had feelings for me, but you always overlooked me." he said and I really did not want to do this right now.
"Cash, it works both ways. You could have said something at any time." I shot back.
"You are my boss." he said and I looked at him like he was the dumbest person in the world right now.
"And you don't think that might have played into why nothing was ever acted on?" I asked him.
"Bullshit! Dexter and Michael were both your employees, and you fucked both of them." he said and I realized he had me there. I got ready to say something when he pushed me against the door and kissed me. I tried my hardest to push him off, but fuck he was strong. He finally pulled away, and he must have known I was going to yell because his hand clamped over my mouth.
"Give it to me once I will promise to stand there like a good friend and support you." he growled in my ear. I shook my head no as I thrashed against the door. I was praying that someone would come upstairs and hear me.
"Do you really want to do it this way?" he asked me and I got his hand away from my mouth.
"I want you to let me go... this isn't you Cash." I begged him and he chuckled as he nipped at my neck.
"How do you know? You never took the time to find out." he said as he put both my wrist in his larger hand and pulled them above my head. He let his hand roam down to my breast and kissed me. I felt him lean back far enough and he made the mistake of moving his foot. My knee came up so hard against his balls. He gasped and instantly fell over. I kicked him square in the ribs, stamped onto his hand with my heels, and ran out the door. I grabbed my stuff from my office and ran all the way to my house.
Dexter POV
I was putting stuff in the oven when I heard the door open and shut quickly. I walked out to see Jodi holding her bag and still wearing lingerie from the dance she had to do. She usually changed before coming home.
"Princess?" I asked her because she looked frazzled.
"Can you get me out of this?" she asked me and I nodded. She raced upstairs and I walked up behind her. I felt like something was really wrong, but I wasn't sure what had just happened.
"Please hurry... I... I am really uncomfortable." She said and I nodded as I unlaced it. She all but tore it away from her. She ripped the rest of it off and jumped in the shower without a word.
"Princess, did something happen?" I asked her and she seemed like she was trying to scrub her skin raw. I got undressed and slipped into the shower behind her. I took the soap from her and pulled her against me. She held onto me right as a sob escaped her. I soothed her as we stood under the warm water.
"Tell me so I can make it better." I said and she shook her head no. I sighed and held her.
"Please Princess." I begged softly. She finally looked at me with tear stained eyes, mascara running down her face, and an almost scared expression. She buried her face back into my chest.
"Cash... he... scared me." She said as the mumbled it into my chest. I sighed and held her tighter. I knew one day he was going to go to far around her... and today might be the day I get to kick his ass.
