Page 89 of Irresistible Temptation
We lay like that for a while, spooning, my cock still inside her. I thought she might have fallen asleep with how steady the rise and fall of her chest was. But then she let out that satisfied “mmm” I loved so much before turning to face me. Her eyes matched the ocean outside, deep and blue as they looked up at me.
“How did we end up here?” she whispered thoughtfully.
“What do you mean?” I asked, propping myself up on my elbow as I leaned my head on my hand.
“Making love on a cruise ship in the middle of the Atlantic.”
“Funny how life works, huh?”
She furrowed her brow slightly, deep in thought.
“What is it?” I asked, stroking her cheek with my finger softly.
“It’s just crazy, that’s all. After everything we’ve been through…”
I nodded in agreement, thinking about the last several months. Everything that had happened since we met.
“I still can’t believe that picture didn’t destroy me,” I said.
“How could it?” She shrugged. “You were making love to yourgirlfriend. Lost in the throes of passion. It could have happened to anyone.”
I chuckled. “True.”
“I’m surprised how little I care that I was, once again, naked on the internet.”
“With a body like that, why would you?” I purred, my eyes roving over her near naked body, her nightgown bunched up over her bump.
She shook her head at me, giving me a playful nudge to the chest.
“What? Iloveit.” I shrugged.
It had been some sort of miracle that the tabloids hadn’t destroyed me or my reputation after the photo was leaked. It hadn’t been confirmed whether it was Mia or someone else who had gotten their hands on it, that leaked it to the press. The tabloids had come out the next day, Juliet and I plastered on almost every front page with shocking headlines.
Office Affair Gone Full Frontal.
CEO Caught In The Act.
Brandfield Takes His Sex Life To New Heights.
I had met with Will that next morning to talk everything through, starting with Juliet’s pregnancy. He had been so ecstatic, he cried. I had never seen him cry in the twenty plus years I had known him. Knowing that we had a baby on the way,he was more determined than ever to fix the mess I had found myself in, and he had been reluctantly dragged into as my silent partner.
We worked with my publicist to come out with a statement regarding the photo and the extent of my relationship with Juliet. It was a gushy statement that the public ate up, and completely true. I had fallen for the woman of my dreams, and got lost in the passion of a workplace romance. I never stated that I had regretted it because I didn’t. We had a baby on the way, and it had made it all worth it.
The public loved a good happy ending.
The board members took a little more convincing, but at the end of it all, they agreed to let me stay in charge of the company I had spent years building. I got to continue building my empire. Living my dream. Will was relieved that he didn’t have to step in. His music career was just starting to take off, and this would hinder his chances of making it big.
Thinking about it, it really was crazy how Juliet and I made it through all of that and were now sailing to a chain of islands to celebrate her pregnancy. Our family.
“I love you,” I said, stroking her cheek.
“I love you too, baby.” She leaned in and gave me a quick kiss on the lips.
“And with Mia behind bars, we have one less thing to worry about,” I said.
“Serves her right,” muttered Juliet.
“I still can’t believe you decked her.” I chuckled.
