the toilet, and a Jacuzzi tub. The downstairs had a half bath, a beautiful kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, a little dining room off the kitchen, and a huge open living room.
It was horribly expensive, but Susie didn’t care. Buck wasn’t thrilled with the price, knowing he couldn’t afford it, but Susie took him down her throat and held him on the edge of orgasm until he finally agreed. Of course he’d turned the tables on her and refused to let her orgasm afterwards…at least until he’d gotten his fill of drinking her juices, but in Susie’s eyes it was a win-win.
The security at the place was top notch. She and Buck had talked further about their situation and neither wanted his dad or her mother popping in unannounced, so the gates surrounding the property were a welcome addition.
Not knowing exactly when they’d be moving in, Susie decided to err on the side of caution and with a cash payment, settlement happened very quickly. Now they were slowly bringing stuff over to the house, so when Loraine and Patrick finally pulled the plug on the marriage, they’d be ready.
“I’m done with this shit.”
“Good, ‘cos I’m done with it too.”
“How come I didn’t know what a bitch you were when we were dating?”
“Maybe because you were too interested in getting in my pants than getting to know me?”
“So, you admit you’re a bitch.”
Ouch. Susie suppressed a chuckle. It wasn’t nice, but it was an awesome comeback by Patrick.
“I want you out…today. And take your smelly, hanger-on of a son with you.”
“Oh, I’ll get out, but not until I’m good and ready.”
“Fuck that. You’ll get out today.”
“I don’t have any place to go.” Patrick’s voice was now a little whiny.
“I don’t care.”
Susie thought this would be a good time to make her presence known. She and Buck were supposed to do this together, but he was working and she since this was happening now, she had to deal with it. She pushed the door open and walked into the lion’s den. Both occupants turned their heads to stare at her.
“Hey.”
“Susie, now is not the time,” her mother told her acidly.
“No, I don’t suppose it is, but here I am anyway,” Susie said breezily, feeling unaccountably happy that this moment was finally here and she’d be getting out from under the oppressed feeling she’d always had living with her mother.
“Excuse me?”
“Sorry, Mother, but it’s obvious you and Patrick haven’t been getting along recently. I’m sorry about that.” She tried to sound contrite, but it didn’t quite come out that way.
“I don’t know what business it is of yours,” Patrick grumbled.
“Well, technically it’s not. And as your daughter, and stepdaughter, it really shouldn’t be any business of mine. But since you two argue all the time, and don’t care if Buck or me are around to hear it, you’ve made it our business.”
“I don’t think I like your tone.”
“Well, here’s the thing, mother…I don’t like the way you’ve been treating Patrick. I know he’s not the perfect man, but it’s not fair. You didn’t give him a fair chance.”
“Yeah.”
Susie turned to Patrick at his comment. “And you haven’t really given my mother a fair shot either. She’s got money, and is used to a certain way of life. You should’ve tried to understand that more.”
“What’s your point?” Patrick growled.
“My point is that you guys need to be done with this marriage. It’s obviously not working, which Buck or I could’ve told you from the start. Patrick, you need to get out of here and start living your own life again. Mother, you need to lighten up and see if you can go one fucking year without marrying anyone. You need to get out and do something. Volunteer, something. It’s not healthy to hang out here and shop. You need more.”
“Listen here, bitch.”
“That’s enough, Pop.” Buck’s voice was low and angry. He’d
