Unfaithfully Married
Tanya was trapped in a contractual marriage to one of the most powerful men in the country. Robin Hilborn owned twenty-five percent of real estate in the south of the United States. He was both respected and feared by those who knew him. Hilborn was known for being cruel and unfair in all of his practices, which allowed him to monopolize his area of business. He wielded a sharp knife at all of his competitors and always came out on top as the victor with his hands clean. There was nothing that Hilborn could not have that he wanted and when he set his eyes on Tanya Darling, he knew he had to have her.
Seventeen years her senior, Hilborn had no doubts about approaching the then, bright-eyed twenty-five-year-old just out of grad school. She was an honorary guest at a charity dinner that he was attending. Robin normally didn't attend such events, but his sister, the only person that could get him to do anything, begged him to come. Heads turned toward him as he entered the room, with his two, muscle-backed bodyguards. He wore a specially-tailored suit, which suited his muscular, six-foot-four body well. His icy silver eyes scanned the room in disgust.
Bumpkins.
Taking a seat at the front table, Hilborn folded his arms to watch the show, and his bodyguards stood watch, blocking the curious stares.
Tanya Darling was nothing like her appearance suggested. At first glance, most took her as meek and without backbone, but Darling was the exact opposite Standing five-foot-two-inches tall, a slender body with natural, long curly brown hair she was often compared to a cute puppy. The first of her family to graduate college and now grad school, she paved her way without complaint. She wanted to make a better life for herself and her family, but the road there was a long one, which she exercised extra patience to walk along. Now she was being honored for her volunteer work at Hames Hall, amongst some of the most elite of the city of Rockingfield.
"Are you nervous?"
Lawrence Bobby, Tanya's plus one whispered in her ear. Bobby was Tanya's ex-boyfriend of two years. After many attempts of being sexual together, they decided to just be friends, which worked for the both of them.
"Do I look nervous?"
Tanya blinked at him twice and grabbed a piece of shrimp off the banquet table, and popped it into her mouth. The gown she wore was a present from the association which invited her there to accept the award. The sea-blue dress was not something she would have normally worn, but it fit her body like a glove and it showed all of her curves. When she walked in, she almost had as many stares as Hilborn.
"I should have known," said Lawrence, "Nothing ever fazes you."
"You got that right," she said, making her way to her designated seat, with a plate full of food. Lawrence trailed behind her.
"Welcome all to the 26th annual charity event for the Schools of the underprivileged. We are pleased to see many repeat donors this year and some new ones as well..."
Laci Hilborn went on talking while ignoring the scowl on her brother's face. Not paying attention to what his sister was saying, Robin got the shock of his life as a beautiful, little Burnett woman walked onto the stage to accept an award. Her long hair was flowing to her back, and her small, but womanly figure was in a nice sea-blue gown made for a princess. Her skin was smooth golden brown and as she stepped to the podium to make a small speech, Hilborn felt his cock unexpectantly move. He sat up straight in his chair and his eyes were laser-focused.
She's mine, he thought as his eyes bore into her.
Tanya was making her speech when she felt intense eyes on her. Sitting at the front table was a large man with piercing eyes staring straight at her as if she were a meal. Never in her life did Tanya stumble on her words until now. Redirecting her attention toward the crowd she finished with a few quick words before hurrying off the stage.
"Who is that man," she asked Lawrence when she sat back down at her table.
"What man, which man," Lawrence said twisting his neck back and forward.
"The fancy one with the not-so-discreet bodyguards," she said, nodding her head toward the front.
"Oh that's not a man, that's
the
man," Lawrence said. "The one and only Robin Hilborn."
Tanya heard of the man before but this was her first chance of seeing him up close. She turned her head to get a better look at him and was surprised to see him staring directly at her again. And she was not mistaken the first time...he was looking at her as if she were his prey.
Chapter II
"Her name is Tanya Darling, just turned twenty-five years of age and earned her MBA," said Stacey Lane, Robin's trusted secretary.
"Go on," Hilborn grunted, while seated in his ten-thousand-dollar leather chair in one of his many offices throughout the south.
"Her mother and father are still married and operates a modest chicken shack for the last 15 years. She has one sibling an older brother who accumulated a considerable amount of illegal gambling debt."
Hilborn smiled inwardly, the young woman had ambition and he wanted all of her attention directed upon him. He had spent the last two weeks imagining undressing her slowly from that blue dress, kissing her shoulders, and finding his way down to more delectable parts of her body.
"...boyfriend."
"Wait," Hilborn frowned. "She's in a relationship?"
"Yes," Stacey said hesitantly, "for the last six months at least."
"Have Smith pay the boy off to break it."
Hilborn knew he had no right to be angry, but the thought of anyone else touching that gorgeous body but him was unacceptable.
"That would be a problem, Sir," Stacey continued, "her boyfriend is Kyle Mathers."
"Is that supposed to mean anything to me?"
"Mathers as in, Mark Mathers of Home Security Network," she said slowly, "the boy cannot be paid off, he is already loaded."
"Then find another way," Robin said coldly, "do I need to tell you what I mean?"
"No sir," Stacey said cooly while feeling ice crawl down her spine.
