me. “How exactly is that supposed to work?” I paused. “My wife sleeps in my bed and my girlfriend sleeps in the basement? Or maybe you think I want what Will has and we should all just sleep together?” I raised my hands and shrugged my shoulders.
    “I don’t want that, but I think you might,” her voice was as quiet as a mouse.
    “Have you lost your mind?” I asked.
    “Oh please,” she huffed. “Don’t try to play the devoted and faithful husband!” she was shouting now. “The trip to the sex club, getting a hand job from the stripper, whatever happened at the auction, watching Will bop around with Jane and Josie,”
    “Stop this now, please,” I turned my back to her and went to the window.
    “Not to mention running into Samantha! I mean come on, that had to bring back memories, make you re-think your life,” she walked up behind me.
    “Everything that has happened since we got married tells me you don’t want to be married. That maybe you made a mistake,” I turned to face her.
    “Now I don’t want to be married! Norah, what in the world! Talk about overacting or jumping to conclusions! Where is all this coming from?” I shouted back at her.
    “Liam, please you have to listen to me. You have to drop this stuff with Nick,” she stated again.
    “You think I don’t want to be married anymore and that isn’t something we need to talk about instead of Nick Meyers?” I grabbed her by the shoulders.
    “Norah, this is crazy as I have stated. All of this submissive, slave, kidnapping stuff has finally made you insane. You have gone round the bend, my love.” I kissed her forehead and when I pulled away she had tears in her eyes.
    “Well I tried,” she said and then started out.
    “Please stay so we can talk about this,” I walked behind her.
    “I can’t.” She wiped her face. “I’m sorry. I don’t know why I am such a baby over this but I have been over emotional lately,” she picked up her purse.
    “Don’t go like this,” I grabbed her arm.
    “I have to. I have a doctor’s appointment,” she said.
    “Are you alright? I wasn’t aware of a doctor’s appointment,” I asked.
    “Yes, I’m fine. Just the normal checkup and prescription renewal.” I nodded because she was referring to her birth control medication and anti-anxiety medication. She had been taking pills for anxiety since Nick kidnapped her.
    “Ok. I will talk to you tonight,” I gave her a kiss on her forehead and then a little one on her mouth. “I love you,” she gave me a small smile.
    I had just a little time before my lunch with Will, so I pulled out my cell phone and called Marcus. He happened to be down the street shopping so he was in my office 10 minutes later.
    “Mr. Hastings,” Marcy buzzed. She rarely called me Mr. Hastings, well only when she wanted to sound official.
    “Yes,” I answered.
    “Mr. Marcus Williams is here to see you,” she paused. She sounded giddy. I was sure it was because Marcus was so handsome. I’m a man, secure in my feelings and in no way am I attracted to men, but I can look at a man and tell you if he is attractive or not. Marcus was an attractive man.
    “Thank you. Send him in please.”
    Marcy opened the door and Marcus walked in.
    “Please sit down. I want to talk to you,” I said. He took the seat in front of my desk.
    “Tell me your story,” I leaned on my elbows.
    “What would you like to know?” he asked.
    “Start at the beginning.”
    He went on to tell me he graduated from Columbia University and was supposed to go into teaching. He traveled Europe for about a year, after he graduated, with his little sister. She was a genius at math and taught him to count cards.
    “She use to come visit me at college and she would clean out all of my friends! She made so much money she paid for her first year of college all herself. Then while she was in school she continued to hustle people.” He shook his head. “She ended up dropping out so she could backpack
