“Funny, those words were just on the tip of my tongue.”She bent at the waist, resting her forearms on the desk, and widened her stance.“Are you going to stand there staring at my fine ass, or are you going to come take care of your wife?”
My dick was harder than a diamond right then.“I’m fucking taking care of my wife.Right now.”One step later and I’d reached her.My pants and boxer briefs were shed in the blink of an eye.Positioned at her wet entrance, my hips surged forward to the hilt.My growl and her moan sounded simultaneously.My fingers dug into her hips, an unintentional punishment that felt too good to release.I pulled back, and each forward push moved the desk a little more.Our combined grunts and groans filled the room, spurring us on until the pressure built to uncontrollable levels.She cried out, my name falling from her fuckable lips, as her muscles tightened around me, milking every last drop.
“Fuck, Christa.That was so fucking hot.”
“Aaron, I think you’re becoming a bad influence on me.”
“If this is my bad influence, I approve and will up the ante.”
Thankfully, we’d found an office with its own bathroom, and the probability it belonged to a museum executive hit me.We quickly cleaned up and straightened our clothes together, but I couldn’t leave without one last kiss.We managed to sneak out of the office and back to the gallery floor.
The official kickoff wasn’t for another couple of hours, but I wanted this time alone with my wife first.Having her eyes be the first to see the photographs was important to me, because I wanted her to be first in everything in my life.After she knew they were all mine, she wanted to walk back through the exhibit and view them with a new understanding.
She spent time staring at each photo, absorbing the meaning behind them, as she worked her way through the room.By the time she made it back around, guests for the opening night gala began to arrive.She was relaxed and happy, at ease by my side as I introduced her to everyone as my wife.
Then Lance stepped onto the floor, and I felt her stiffen beside me.I stopped speaking mid-sentence and looked down at her.
“Christa, is something the matter?”
She shot daggers at him with her eyes.If looks could kill, I thought to myself.
“Lance, hold my purse for a minute,” a familiar voice demanded.I watched in astonishment as he complied.Willingly.
“Is that—”
“No.It’s not possible.”Christa shook her head but kept her eyes glued to the scene unfolding directly in front of us.
Allie held on to Lance’s arm for balance while she adjusted the strap on her shoe.Then she took her clutch from him and wrapped her hand around the bend of his arm when they started walking toward us.
Lance’s eyes were glued to Allie, while Christa’s could’ve become flamethrowers at any second.My brother was so beguiled by the beauty on his arm, he had no idea of the wrath he was walking straight into.
Until it was too late.
He turned his head just in time to meet my gaze, happiness written all over his face.Then his expression fell when he saw Christa’s icy glare.
“Lance.Allie.I’m…stunned…to see you two together.”My shock was impossible to hide, so I chose not to try.
“Lance and I have been in negotiations.He’s finally beginning to see the error of his ways and the benefits of mine.”Allie’s smile resembled a fiendish cat that had just pounced on its prey.“Lance, don’t you have something to say to my best friend?”
“Yes, I do.Christa, I’ve talked to Aaron and Allie, but I haven’t apologized to you.My primary concern was for Aaron and his safety, but that’s no excuse for how I treated you.I hope you can accept my sincere apology.”
“I appreciate how protective you’ve been over Aaron.”Her words may have been gracious, but her straight spine and stiff jaw said otherwise.
Christa
“Willyou two excuse us for a moment?I need to speak with my best friend alone.”Allie released Lance and took my arm instead, leading me away from our dates and out of earshot.
“Want to tell me what the hell you’re doing with him?Of all the men you could’ve picked in the world, you had to choose the biggest dickhead you could find?”I nearly raised my finger to point at the demon spawn beside Aaron, but I caught myself just in time.
Allie’s smirk almost made me laugh.Almost.“Do I need a reason other than that?”
“You are infuriating.You make me mad and laugh at the same time.Now, stop it.You know what I meant.He’s the worst man in the world.”
“He’s not, once you get to know him.He’s been thoroughly chastised and punished for what he did to you.He’s genuinely sorry, and he’ll never do anything like that again.Especially not while I’m around.Give him a chance—for me?”
She knew I couldn’t resist her when she asked nicely.
“I’ll try.No promises, though.”
