The Billionaire Daddies
32. Know Your Place

When you're you

and I'm the sugar baby

who longed for the impossible

- Jacqueline

Three months into our contract Grady and Percy still haven't shared the news about the threats that were eliminated by Ghazi. Both men didn't lie, they just didn't talk about it and I didn't ask. Maybe I should, but in my naive mind, I wanted them to deliver me the information. I wanted them to feel that I can take the news, that I wasn't just their plaything that they need to take care of.

Remy and I kept in touch, he was currently traveling across Europe with Ghazi. He'd sent me pictures telling me I should come with them. I was happy for him, I was happy for Benji, even happy for Ella. My friends have found their men and I couldn't help feeling a slight pang of jealousy.

But I've been keeping my thoughts to myself for the last couple of months. I didn't raise any concerns and just be a good sugar baby, because I needed the brothers to hide me from my family and Clement. I hope in the next couple of months my fiancé will give up on me and marry someone else.

So, here I was living in the lavish penthouse with two men who showered me with presents and satisfy my every need, but the need for more was still there. The little brat in me wanted what my friends have. Love. Affection. I want them all.

My family never treated me with such the love that I yearn for, to them I was their child, heir to be wedded to the wealthy neighbor without asking what I want. I was hoping mom would understand, but we always have such a strange relationship. While with dad, I was just a bother. A kid from a wife who stays drunk and medicates twenty hours a day, seven days a week.

My walls were up, they were strong, and no one knows how fucking broken I was on the inside. I've always played the cheerful sugar baby, the perfect adventurous Jacqueline. It has been years since my last therapy session, and I didn't want the guys to know that I was defective. So, I started mixing my drink with my old prescription pills for my anxiety whenever they were out on a business trip and leave me alone in the penthouse.

I was becoming my mom.

Fuck this.

Hey, my emo inside voice was back from the dead. I thought I lost her when my psychiatrist managed to shoo her away a couple of years ago. Huh... okay, then...

*****

"Jacqueline, baby, you're drifting off again." Grady's voice took my thoughts back to the gorgeous winter chalet the brothers rented for our one-week getaway.

The brothers would do this, they would take one week off after they had a super busy schedule and felt guilty for leaving me alone in the penthouse. And this time we're on one of France's luxurious ski resorts. Grady's PA booked us on a private chalet that was overlooking the perfect slope of the snow-covered terrain.

"I'm sorry," I gave him my flirty smile, snaking my hand to his neck tipping my toes, and planted a sweet kiss on his lips. When the man groaned, I know I had him distracted.

"When's Percy getting here? the storm is about to set." I asked him when I remembered reading about it on the weather app on my phone.

"He called earlier, the jet was grounded for bad weather so he's back in the office finishing some non-urgent stuff so we won't get called in earlier," Grady explained then swiftly kissing me back with more vigor. "More of you for myself, my little brother will be pissed at me but since I'm a kind man, I'd say we surprised him later on tonight with a sexy video call." I laughed and relent back to his kisses.

My body was used to his touches, we have done this so many times before that the familiar feeling was soothing. "I'm sure he'll appreciate the gesture, you want to practice some moves for tonight?" my hand slipped between his legs and the man grunted in my ear, nibbling on my spot knowing I'd get wet from his kisses and sexy sounds alone.

That afternoon we had sex looking out the falling snow, the sky was getting darker and Grady treats me with multiple orgasms before he let his cum fill me. We had ditched the condoms last month, the men love marking my body, they love filling me up with their loads. And since then, I've been very diligent with my pills.

I love seeing men on their possessive side and every time they come inside me they give me their look, all bad boy and dominant. Their stronghold would lull me after each climax while my body takes in their loads. I've never been into breeding kinks, but these brothers were giving me another level of arousal when one day Grady came inside me and pushed his load back in then Percy did the same after his brother. I would be on cloud nine when they were back to my side pulling me in their arms and it never took long for me to fall asleep afterward.

My family hadn't gotten to me, no communication after I ended the call to my mom months back. I asked Percy and Grady about it and they just waived it off telling me not to worry and that they're taking care of it. And so I did, I pushed back my issues to the back of my mind, just like how I put aside the stalker that Ghazi had taken care of.

Though deep down I felt they belittled me, yet somehow it put me back in my place, reminding me not to get swoon, and that I'm just their sugar baby. Everything will go back to what they did once before in the next three months. Halfway into our contract and I was a fucking mess already. After the twins I had planned to quit the agency, it has been a great couple of years. But after Percy and Grady I didn't know if I want to expose myself again. I was thinking of early retirement to somewhere tropical and humid or maybe even Siberia, I still haven't decided.

I was looking forward to Remy's visit the day after tomorrow, after their last encounter, Ghazi and the brothers bonded. They started working together, the guys have been doing some investment work for the Iranian business mogul. Men and their money, sometimes it feels like they're playing monopoly while Remy and I just stood on the sideline cheering for them.

"Come on, baby girl, let's have dinner at the main building. It's been a while since our last date night, I need you to relax before I fuck you to the bed again tonight." I shuddered from his promise and the man laugh huskily, wrapping his arm around my waist and ushering me out of the chalet into the more public part of the ski resort.

We were seated at the corner of the restaurant, the ambiance was warm, earthy, and very intimate. We were enjoying our wine, waiting for our main course when an older wealthy-looking couple walk towards our table. Grady's shoulder tensed instantly, his face paled but the man didn't let go of my hand, as if he was frozen in place.

"Grady, oh... dear, it's been too long."

"Mrs. Keller," Grady got up to hug the older woman and she returned his hug in such familiarity that I wonder if they're related.

"Please, it's George, you're not in school anymore." The older man cut in before Grady greeted him with his last name, he hugged Grady with the same warmth as his wife did.

Mrs. Keller looked at me and smiled as he waited for Grady to introduce me. "This is Jacqueline," Grady had this look on his face that I've never seen before as he held out his hand, helping me to stand up to greet the Kellers. "She's beautiful Grady, I'm glad you're happy, son. Melody will be happy to know that you have someone now," Mrs. Keller's eyes redden, and I was conflicted when I felt his hand gripping onto my waist a bit too tight.

Who's this Melody? is she his former lover?  sudden jealousy crept up to where I shouldn't even let myself feel. Three more months, Jacqueline.

"How long are you staying here? we should do breakfast, we're leaving tomorrow afternoon." Roger rubbed his wife's shoulder, she looked like she was about to cry now and I wanted to take her hand and rubbed her knuckles trying to soothe her, but I didn't dare to do so. Whatever Grady had with their daughter, she looked upset that they called it quits.

To Roger's invitation, Grady lets out a deep breath, as if he had been holding it in since he saw them. "I'll be here tomorrow morning, we just arrived yesterday."

"It's a date then, come on sweetheart, let's leave these two love birds to their dinner date. Jacqueline, it's nice meeting you. Grady here is a good man, he'll treat you right." His wife's cry broke and they hugged one more time before leaving us, leaving me with so many questions that I did not dare to ask.

Boundaries, Jacqueline. Three more months.

We finished our dinner in silence, then get back to our chalet. Grady stayed quiet until he pulled me in his arms, and took me to sit on his lap on the living room sofa. "Melody was my high school girlfriend, we dated up until college," he sighed as if the story was still too much for him to tell.

"Grady, you don't owe me an explanation," I'm not your girlfriend, I'm just here for another three months.

"I love her, very much, she did too." his voice was getting shaky as he wrapped his arms around me, taking me flat onto his chest. He kissed the top of my head before he continued, "She was diagnosed with cancer when we were in college. We were planning on getting married, we have planned our future for years. We were so cocky back then, thinking our love will make everything fall into place." He released a deep breath when I wrapped my arms around his chest trying to give him comfort. It was clear that he needed to get his story out, and so I listened.

"But the pancreatic cancer took over her immune system fast. I've stayed with her for months at the hospital, I watched her deteriorate day after day until one day she couldn't take it anymore. Until one day she finally gave up on her will to live and the cancer beat her and I lost the love of my life, forever."

There was an eerie kind of silence and I let him bask in his moment before I kissed his temple, got up, and hold out my hand to him. "Come on, let me take care of you." I helped him into the bed stripping him to his boxers and I followed him dressing in my big comfy pajamas. I tucked both of us under the covers and spooned him from behind. "Ssh, it's okay. I'm here. You can talk and I'll listen." I offered when he released another heavy breath.

It pained me to hear about his loss and what I could never have from him. He's too nice for me, he deserves someone who will make him proud. Someone who has the nicest sets of parents like the Kellers.
