C6 CHAPTER 6 – YOU HAVE NO CHOICE

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Mackenzie pushed him aside, her lips trembling from the repercussion of what he'd just done to her.

This was Chase Axford, her brother-in-law!

No matter what had compelled him to act this way, it was still wrong!

Chase grabbed Mackenzie by the shoulder and instinctively nudged her until she was up against the wall.

"W-what," She stuttered, trembling as he placed a hand next to her against the wall, leaving her with no way to escape his enclosed trap.

"Look at this face properly," he roared, staring down at her with clenched fists.

As if it wasn't enough that she kept a calm face throughout dinner, she even had the nerve to pretend not to know him.

Mackenzie struggled to gaze into his stormy blue hues and instantly plunged into the memories of last night.

Her words stopped in her throat. She couldn't come up with coherent words.

The person she'd had a one-night stand with was her brother-in-law.

Shivers ran down her spine and so did fright. She also had the feeling of an ecstatic euphoria of being near the man that had made her feel good.

It was no wonder she noticed him tonight.

But still, it was inconsequential.

They weren't allowed to hold on to the fragments of last night. They were both drunk, and that was it. No matter how gorgeous he was, she was not allowed to let her mind drive further.

This was real life. Not a fucking Netflix drama!

"I remember!" She yelled, using every single bit of the courage she could muster to lock eyes with him boldly.

The very eyes she'd trembled before last night.

"I… I caused a nuisance and we ended up having sex," She bit her bottom lip nervously, aware of his condescending eyes watching her. "But you have to forget about it," she said.

Chase pulled away, aware of both of their situations.

They were in-laws.

Sexual interaction was out of the question. But still… it hurt him to know that last night had meant nothing to her at all.

If he hadn't come after her, she wouldn't recognize him at all?

Chase chuckled darkly.

He should have known.

Women of her type pretended to be the godliest, but in reality, they were cheats and nothing but frauds.

Chase glanced at her, noting her perplexed gaze and it ticked him off.

Even when she was in this situation, she was still acting innocent. It was disgusting.

So he grabbed her by the front of her dress and pulled her, so she was facing him.

"You, you're pathetic." He growled, "You have a decent husband. You should be happy but you go to a random stranger's room to get fucked?!"

Mackenzie shuddered under his gaze, whimpering silently.

"It's even more disgusting when you make an innocent face like that," he snarled.

"I'm sorry," She said quietly, "You can't say a word about this to my husband. Just forget it ever happened. I don't remember much anyway, and besides, I'm not pretty. Last night won't be memorable to you anyway."

Chase was stunned.

This woman… was she stupid or just plain dumb?!

If last night wasn't memorable for him, would he bother to find her after she left a nuisance of a note?

Why would he replay every moment of their lovemaking in his head so much that he couldn't think straight throughout the day?

Why would he remember what her eyes looked like and the way she'd pleaded for him to make love to her?

Why would he unconsciously compare her to his wife?

Why?!

She had ignited a thousand strings of passion inside of him. How dare she not at least take accountability for that? Instead, she was telling him to forget about it. It was too late for that.

"I beg you Chase, please forget about last night," Mackenzie said, her eyes tearing up.

Chase clenched his fists for the hundredth time to keep his anger and self-control from exploding.

"You used me," he said with gritted teeth, "I'll never let that go."

Mackenzie didn't reply. She had no reply to that as she'd taken advantage of him without intending.

"Give me your number," He demanded with darkening eyes. Those eyes sucked the breath right out of her.

"Huh?"

Mackenzie froze, taken aback by that retort. That wasn't what she expected to hear from Chase.

"Are you deaf? I said give me your number. I'm not going to let what you did go, so you better answer my number anytime I call you or you will have a conversation about this with your husband."

That was all it took to have Mackenzie give him her number, and Chase could see from her behavior how much this little secret of theirs meant to her so he made a mental note to take advantage of every aspect of it.

Once he was done collecting her number, he headed back to the entrance where his father was telling Selene and West goodnight.

"Are you two done?" He said to West and Selene, "Let's go quickly, I have work to do."

Richard chuckled lightly. His son was a bit obsessed with work now but he'd made time to have dinner with him and his wife. He should not complain about that.

"Well then, goodnight children. I had fun talking to all of you."

Chase nodded firmly and as he was about to turn around to leave, he saw Jeffrey standing by the door, watching him.

Chase stared back at his brother, neither saying a word to the other. There was lightning between their stares.

There had always been tension between them and as they grew up, it increased. But Chase could care less about that.

Right now, what he felt for his stepbrother was sympathy, for various reasons.

Chase averted his gaze from Jeffrey and headed to the parking lot. Once he, Selene, and West were settled in the Lamborghini, they drove off but with West behind the wheel.

"So that was quite a pretty smooth dinner," West said during the ride, trying to be funny.

"Yet that Mackenzie ruined it with her bad news," Selene said with a roll of her eyes. "What was she thinking to have said that in the middle of dinner and ruin the mood."

"I feel bad for her though,"

"I feel bad for you because you didn't know what Meningioma was,"

Chase was confused, he'd left dinner midway so he was lost as to what Selene and West were bickering about but it piqued his curiosity because their conversation involved Mackenzie.

He'd seen her leave the living room quite earlier than the others but wasn't that just a chance to avoid him?

"West, what happened at the dining table after I left?"

West pulled over in front of Chase's villa and said, "We're here you two."

Chase had no choice but to leave the conversation at that. He didn't want Selene to suspect him for having an interest in Mackenzie.

"You better thank me later for driving you two with my newest baby" West said as Chase and Selene got out of the car.

"Thanks," said Chase coolly and without another word, he and Selene climbed up the stairs leading to the garden that surrounded their penthouse.

"At least say it as if you mean it," West said playfully before driving off.

Once Selene and Chase were inside their penthouse, Chase discarded his suit and loosened his tie while Selene wandered off inside the building.

Chase went straight to the mini bar near the kitchen, where he'd stacked his favorites.

He grabbed a bottle of whiskey and dunked it down before letting out an exasperated sigh.

Mackenzie…

He could still barely believe that she was the woman that he had a one-night stand with. Her demeanor was different tonight.

But he recognized those lips.

"Hey baby," A sultry voice filled Chase's ears, catching him off-guard.

He looked beside him and there stood Selene in a provocative lingerie.

She looked sexy but that did not arouse Chase. She didn't have the same rawness or fierceness as Mackenzie. Her body was too artificial and perfect. Like a doll's who would get aroused by that?

She started to unbutton his shirt and kiss down his warm chest.

Chase would usually push her at this time and Selene knew that as well, but when Chase didn't push her away, she became hopeful. So she greedily kissed down and unbuttoned his trousers and pulled down his shorts to reveal his massive cock.

"Ohh," Selene moaned at the sight of his massive cock. it was so beautiful and veiny, promising a very wild time.

Just the way it looked was mouthwatering for her.

Yes, she was married to this hot gifted man but he rarely pleased her and that was why she found solace with other men.

But tonight, it seemed there was hope.

Chase stared down at his anticipating wife as she took his cock into her mouth.

"Ohh," she gasped, rolling her tongue around his cock.

Chase felt himself harden.

It was only a normal reaction but…

Selene took his cock out of her mouth and started licking it as though it were a lollipop, the expression that she made was supposed to look sexy but it didn't appeal to him.

Chase was about to push Selene off of him and make an excuse as to why he could no longer continue this fun rendezvous but when he spared Selene a glance, he imagined that she was a certain woman with fierce hazel eyes and thick curls.

He reached forward to grab her thick curly locks and pushed her face down to wobble down on his cock.

Unexpectedly, he released a gasp as she took him down her throat.

Then she started to go back up to the tip before wobbling him back down.

Chase had a familiar pressure build up, and forced her to take his cock further down her throat until he came in her mouth. Something that hadn't happened before with him and his wife.

The realization sunk in, and when Selene looked up to face him, his interest died completely.

Even though he'd known Mackenzie couldn't be here, his brain tricked him for a second that she was the one right in front of him and not his wife.

Both disappointed in himself and dissatisfied, he stood and pulled up both his shorts and trousers.

Selene, who was still on her knees, looked at him in disappointment.

Not a thing had changed between them over the years! If she was so beautiful, how could he not be seduced by her?!

"Sorry," he said, coldly as he turned his back to her. "I just find this boring." He said, looking at her from the corner of his eyes.

"Boring?!" Selene scoffed before angrily standing on her feet. "Do you want to know what is boring? You!"

Chase focused his gaze back on the space in front of him.

"You know how many men are dying to get a piece of me, yet you won't fuck me?! How can I be your wife yet you won't take advantage of it and fuck me as you like! I'm one of the most beautiful women in the world, you won't find another me anywhere in the world I can promise you that! And do you want to hear an example of what a boring woman looks like?" Selene said with a scoff, "I'll tell you one, Mackenzie."

Chase turned to look at Selene, feeling his anger skyrocket from what she just said.

He usually wasn't the type to get triggered easily, but he just didn't want to hear someone else throw dirt on that name. Only he was allowed to do that.

"That's enough, Selene." He said authoritatively.

"What?" She scoffed, "Isn’t it true? It's beyond me what a lowlife like her is doing with a man like your brother. I bet she doesn't even serve him well in bed—"

"—I SAID THAT'S ENOUGH,"

On hearing the edge in Chase's tone, Selene stopped but it made her angry that she was getting scolded by her husband because of a poor girl like Mackenzie.

"Why are you defending her!" She screamed, "That woman is not even worthy of your sympathy. Look at me right here, I'm your wife! Yet, you've not once decided to show me any face!"

"Isn't that the same with you?" Chase asked in a low tone, "I know you entertain men when I'm not looking. And don't you dare say garbage like it's for work to defend yourself."

Selene stood frozen on the spot, reluctant to say anything that would further his rage. But when she saw him moving away from her without another glance. She felt inclined to say something hurtful.

"The woman you're defending won't live for long."

When Chase stopped in his tracks, she continued. "When you left the dining table at your parent's, Mackenzie announced that she was diagnosed with Meningioma."
