Chapter 154
Eros has explained to his guests that they need to leave due to a family matter. That matter, being his family is here right now. So, not only did his mother hear me screaming his name, but his sister, brother and dad did as well.
Fucking epic! I stay pressed close to him as I watch the guests leave.
“Shall we get more comfortable?” She smiles at Eros and takes the glass from his hand before sitting. Turning, I look at him.
“Do I be honest about my work?” I whisper.
“Yes, like I care what they think,” he says as he grips my chin and kisses me. “Come on,” he pulls me over, and I sit next to him.
“You must be Alexis. Eros has spoken of you a lot on the phone,” she says while smiling. I’m Gail. This is my husband, Patrick, my other son, John, and my daughter, Kacy,” she smiles, and I nod.
“It’s nice to meet you all,” I say, and Patrick and John stare at me. Oh. god, this is worse. I bite my lip, and Eros pulls it free. Of course, I am about to freak out and overthink. The way they look at me is like they know who I am.
She said her husband…Not Eros‘ Dad? That might help a bit if he’s not

Eros’s dad, but still shit. Sitting, she talks to Eros, and he explains why he wanted to wait to introduce us, and that was down to us helping out a friend of mine.
I feel it’s more that Eros just avoids his mother. I don’t think she is bad, I think he just like space and not having people in his personal business.
“What do you do, Alexis?” She asks, and everyone falls quiet.
“She does porn, mum,” Eros states, and my cheeks flush bright red. I’m not ashamed, but that’s his muin! She laughs and looks at him,. realising he’s being honest.
“Did, I don’t anymore,” I say, turning to look at Eros. When I took over from Elon, I decided not to do it anymore. I have told him, but he seemed to think I was stopping because of him, and said not to.
I didn’t stop because of him. I stopped because I wanted to,
“Oh, well…” She looks around the table. John and Kacy have covered their faces and are laughing.
“It’s actually a really common profession these days, Mother, and they earn more than most of the top lawyers within an hour,” Kacy states, and I smile at her.
“So, how did you two meet?” his mum asks, changing the conversation or trying to. Eros laughs and looks at me. His hand grips my thigh.

“Through that business, mum, we did a private shoot together.” Eros explains, and now everyone gawps at him.
“You make porn?” Kacy stares at him.
“No, it was a private video, but I guess yes, as I was going to let it be released,” Eros explains and his mum just sits silenced. This is getting worse by the second.
I need to say something, though. “Your son is an amazing man and gentleman. I’ve seen men from all works of life in my work, including those with larger empires than your son, and he was the first one to treat me as a woman, not an object,” I say.
She looks at me, shocked, but smiles.
“Yeah, my baby brother knows how to treat a woman. That’s why he had a new one every week,” John laughs.
“He’s picky, John, and didn’t care to waste time on women if they weren’t right for him. Unlike someone who just goes for anything with a pulse, you’re forty and still don’t have a permanent girlfriend,” Kacy mocks.
“Okay, you two boys, stop arguing,” his mum states and Eros laughs.
“I didn’t say anything, Mother, that was John and Lacy,” Eros laughs and looks at her. He’s not wrong; he stayed quiet, and Lacy defended

him, which is sweet.
“You know what I mean,” she states and turns to look at me. Oh god, I want to hide. I hope she doesn’t ask anything too bad. I never imagined I would be meeting someone’s mum this quickly. I didn’t plan to date. until I had been out of the business for years and I was settled.
“What is it you do now, Alexis?” she asks.
“I manage the location I used to work at,” I reply.
“I didn’t realise there were promotions within the porn industry?” She
stares at me in confusion.
“There isn’t, but my manager, the person who ran that location, no longer works there, and I took over,” I explain, and she nods.
“How does the industry work? If you don’t mind me asking?” She looks
at me.
“That depends. Some people have a manager who finds them the work, while others work without a manager. These are the ones who have a full production team behind them. The ones paid thousands. Each organisation has their own rules and such.” I explain, and she nods.
“I would like to speak with Alexis alone,” she says, and I try not to
hide.

“Mother,” Eros looks at her.
“I’m not going to say anything wrong. Would you react like that if she worked as a nurse?” His mum looks at him.
“Don’t scare her off, Mother,” Eros states, and she laughs.
“I’m sure this one isn’t so easily afraid, Eros. Even I can tell she doesn’t run from her problems,” she smiles and stands. Eros looks at me and shakes his head. Leaning forward, I kiss his cheek and stand.
He sighs and watches me as I follow her into the dinning room. I won’t run, she’s right, I don’t run from my problems, so no matter how much of a hard time she gives me. I won’t run.
I know Eros thinks I will, but I won’t.
