Someone grabbed his attention as Mrs. Fraiche and I walked towards our tables.
"Jacob use to serve as President of the board for years. Through his leadership we were able to open smaller clinics in underprivileged neighborhoods and a full service physician office tower. Did Jacob tell you he dresses up like Santa for Christmas and the Easter Bunny. He gives away gifts and baskets and bring so much joy to the children throughout the hospital. He is a blessing to this community."
"No he didn’t tell me."
"Oh hun, he gives so much back and he downplays his contributions. He is a very humble man and his grandparents would be proud."
"So you have known him for a long time."
"Oh yes honey. I’ve known his family all my life. The Moore family are very good people. When his sister Janie died in a car crash, the closest hospital was thirty miles away and because of that, she died. When word got out, some of the most influential families got together and donated money, land and equipment to build this hospital. We never wanted anyone else to die because hospital care wasn’t available.’
Wow I was impressed. Jacob Moore had been holding out on me. I had a newfound respect for him.
"Mrs. Fraiche, it is time to get my date back. I can’t have you telling all my secrets," he said giving her a peck on the cheek. She started to blush. As we walked away he introduced me to physicians, the board members and other people. He knew just about everyone and they all sang his praises.
Was I on a date with Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?
"These people love you. Why don’t you tell people about what you do here?"
"My parents always taught us to be ourselves. We don’t have to brag about what we do. We do this from the heart not for the accolades. I do what I do because I enjoy it. My sister died at fourteen and she would always talk about when she got married she would get married and have kids. She volunteered here when I was playing sports. It just felt right to continue her legacy." I could see him getting teary eyed.
"Well my whole outlook of you has changed. I must admit you do have a soft side and I need to stop giving you a hard time."
"Thank you. Can I at least have a kiss?" He said moving his eyebrows up and down.
"Ah, no," I said laughing taking my seat. The program started and several people were awarded different accolades. They called my name and Mr. Barrett presented my award. He spoke up about my project which afforded me this award. I thanked everyone and sat down.
"Good speech," he whispered in my ear, pulling out my chair. I smiled and took my seat.
Moments later a special presentation was done honoring him. I didn’t see his name on the list but they showed him in the pediatric ward reading and giving away gifts to the children. When they announced his name everyone stood up and clapped. He gave a speech as the President, the CEO and VP’s of the hospital shook his hand. He seemed surprised and walked back to the table with an smile.
I got those butterflies in my stomach again. We danced as people congratulated us and I really did have a good time.
"Cadence this is Debra Lee she is my assistant."
"Congratulations Ms. Montgomery," she said. She was an older lady with graying hair and she was short.
"Thank you."
"Debra will take our awards because I have something to show you."
"I will have your award delivered to you Ms. Montgomery in the morning. Have a good night you two," she said smiling walking off.
"She seems nice," I said watching her walk away.
"She is. She reminds me of my grandmother. She is the best assistant I have ever had and she doesn’t mind giving you her opinion." We both laughed.
"Come on." He grabbed my hand and lead me downstairs. We ended up on the dock walking towards a huge boat.
"Here let me help you, " he said taking my hand helping me on board.
"Welcome aboard The Indulgence. This is my baby." He smiled from ear to ear as a proud father.
"The Indulgence?"
"You don’t like the name?"
"Why do you call it that?"
"Because it has features that no other boat has."
"That would be?"
"Come, let me show you." He grabbed my hand and gave me a tour. It had two master bedrooms with several bathrooms. A captains room and another room for two crew members. A large living room, office, observatory deck with pool and jacuzzi along with a gourmet kitchen and game room.
"So what do you think?"
"I’m impressed but what is behind the red door?" I walked over and opened it but it was locked.
"Awe more secrets, Mr. Moore?"
He walked over to a desk and pulled out a key. "You sure you want to know?"
I narrowed my eyes as he unlocked the door. I walked in and my mouth dropped to the floor. He had his own dungeon and it looked just like the one in my dream. I slowly walked in and looked around. Deja Vu?
As I closed my eyes, my dream hit me like a ton of bricks. There was a door to the side and it had to be the bathroom and the other door was a closet of lascivious items that would make an ordinary person like myself blush.
"You asked?" He said leaning against the wall with his arms folded.
I walked around. The walls were white with dark red drapery, with silk pillows thrown around the room with mirrors of all shaped and sizes on the walls and ceiling. A plush black sofa rested against the back wall. Thick plush rugs lined the floor and a huge chest laid opposite of the room. Above my head chains hung down with wrought iron cuffs and bindings while fresh flowers lined the two tables.
"Not what I expected," I said walking deeper into the room.
"What did you expect?"
"I didn’t think you would have your own dungeon?"
"I actually had it added about three years ago. My ex-girlfriend brought me into the lifestyle. She brought me to Langston where Ora and Candice trained Garrett and I. Lacey use to work for Lilly before you ask. She was a sub and wanted me to be her Dom."
"Why did you break up?"
