The interviews were awful, all of them were dumb as a stump and I felt my IQ dropping every time one of them spoke - it was torture. I had several interviews after Matthew’s and my quickie in the conference room, and my entire body was tingling the whole time.
I didn’t offer any of them the job – I wasn’t comfortable with any of them being around Matthew for any extended period of time. I needed to work on my trust issues. Matthew has been nothing but good to me, I need to show him that I trust him, even if deep down I really don’t.
Maybe I do trust him, and that’s what scares me more than anything about this? Maybe I’m just so scared of trusting him fully and then taking that chance of being let down?
Today is when Matthew was supposed to meet the new assistant that I had chosen for him, but when he entered the conference room, he had a confused look on his face, “Did the newbie not show up?”
“O
I tried to accept the fact that Emma didn’t trust me and put on a pleasant face, but it was a bitter pill to swallow and I won’t say that it didn’t sting a bit, it really did. I understood her reasons, I did, but it didn’t make it hurt any less. I would do whatever it took to get her to trust me, though, because the truth is, I’m falling in love with her. Emma is the best thing to ever happen to me, and I want to be with her and I want us to have a relationship that’s full of love, happiness, and trust. I’m sure as hell not thinking about marriage and kids yet, though. That’s just ridiculous. Once Emma left the room, I sighed and let my jaw tense. She had a point, she wouldn’t be too busy with training models all the time - quite rarely, honestly, so her work hours would be minimized between seasons. I’ll humor her for a while. Maybe she will make some contacts with her promotion and get involved in something else, something more beneficial fo
He looked so good today, I couldn’t help myself but take over. He had a gray suit and black button-down underneath today, an unusual pair for him, but the contrast along with his dark hair made his eyes pop like never before, and I wanted to see those emerald greens darken for me with desire. We were in the same position as the first day I had been working for Matthew when I had been frustrating and he decided to take out his frustration on my lips. He could have been a shouter, he could have been someone to throw things at the wall, but no, Matthew used his body to take out his tension in the most delicious way. I had fantasized about this moment ever since that day – the ‘what if’ of something else happening that day between us, the always curious part of my mind that wondered what would have happened if I hadn’t turned my head to the side and told him to stop. We were about to find out. Matthew had been gently caressing my cheek with the pad of his
Her sounds of pleasure were music to my ears, I didn’t want it to stop and at this point, I didn’t care who heard us. I had never let a woman take control during sex before Emma, and she was damn good when she had control, I surprised even myself when I welcomed it. Her walls were tightening around me and squeezing my rock-hard cock more and more as she moved up and down my length, her hands gripping onto the sides of the chair tighter and tighter as she neared her climax. The hand of mine that wasn’t teasing her clit had gone back to her exposed breast that I pinched before latching my mouth around it. Emma threw her head back and brought her hands to my shoulders where she dug her nails, her legs trembling on either side of me. “Let it go, baby,” I whispered against her hot flesh. She whimpered before she whispered, “I don’t want to it feels so… feels so… so… so...” her bouncing slowed down and her entire body trembled with her orgasm before s
Trish had told me that she noticed some sounds coming from Matthew’s office while I was in there after a few minutes and she turned on some music, telling the other women in the office that she was looking for good runway songs when she was really trying to cover up any noises Matthew and I made. I was glad that at least someone in the office knew about us and had our backs to keep it private. I laughed when she told me, and we continued playing a few more songs after that - I didn’t want her to stop playing the music as soon as I exited the office, everyone would know what was up then. Matthew and I said ‘I love you’ to each other that day and it was incredible. He said it first, too! He was in a state of ecstasy and the words just flooded out of him. I was shocked at first because it was so soon, but I knew deep down that I had been falling for him since I first laid eyes on him at the club, my feelings only deepening with every passing day with him.
It didn’t feel right to leave Emma there at the hotel with all of the models, so I stayed back after a moment’s thought, and just as I was about to open the door again, I heard Emma addressing the models, asking who was familiar with me and then telling them to leave. What was she getting at?I ended up eavesdropping on the entire thing, a mirky grin plastered on my face the whole time. She was being a hard-ass on them, and I loved it when she took control like that. At the beginning of the relationship, I hated it, but after these weeks with her, I find it to be super sexy when she takes charge.When she came out of the room and I caught her attention, she looked surprised to see me at first, but then she smiled at me and came over to kiss me.It amazed me how much I craved her after only an hour of being apart and with only a door separating us. I took my chance to get a taste of her as soon as possible, but the moment was ruined when I heard the d
I couldn’t believe what he had said to me about my father, it was low, even for him. I tried to reason with myself that he’s only tired and reminiscing on all the hurt he felt because of Nicole and that he didn’t mean it, but something told me that there was some truth in his words and he thought I was ridiculous about thinking my father speaks to me through the wind.Maybe it was ridiculous, maybe it was only wishful thinking, but the thought of it calms me, and I’m never going to apologize for having hope or for using unusual methods to feel close to my loved ones.If Matthew pities me, so be it. I’m not as high and mighty as him, I’ll own it, he can feel whatever he wants about me.I have no idea what he expected me to say to that comment. I have no idea how else to react to it other than to get some distance, along with some healthy crying. It’s not good to keep those emotions bottled down, it doesn’t help at a
My heart was cracking again. The wall that I had put up had finally come down, I had shown the vulnerable side of me to her and there was no going back. She was furious that I had forced Kay out of my way to get to her, and in retrospect, it probably wasn’t the best thing to do, but I was still fuming and I needed to see her – I wasn’t going to put up with some nagging remarks from her roommate. I know I crossed a line with the comment about her father and making it sound like he was nothing. If anyone said anything like that to me, I probably would have been hurt by it too, but I didn’t realize that I was talking down to her – I was just trying to make my point, but my mind went to the cruelest place to do that. The thought of losing her was unbearable. It was physical pain, knowing that I had hurt her and seeing the look on her face, seeing her cry, and knowing that it’s because of me, it was a pain that I had never felt before, and I wanted to do something
Matthew and I have barely talked since our fight, but once Isabella invited us over for a party where she needed our support, we sucked it up and decided to show up for her. Isabella wasn’t even through her first trimester, and I wasn’t sure if she should even be announcing it yet to people, but, like Matthew, she is a very honest person, and family seems to mean a lot to her. Her apartment building isn’t far from our own, but she might as well have lived on the other side of town – the silence in the car was awful, tense, suffocating, even. Every second felt like an hour. “Are we supposed to bring something?” I finally asked to break the silence. Fuck. Why would I ask that? It’s only making it sound like I want to spend more time with him when I’m trying to get a clear head from him and figure out what I want. Matthew’s eyebrows furrowed slightly and he said, “I don’t think we should bring champagne to a party where the host is announcing her
Fast forward 5 years “Matthew!” My beautiful wife called out. I followed the sound of her voice and questioned from the doorway, “Yes, dear?” Emma let out an exasperated sigh as she held her growing belly, “Where is our daughter? She disappeared on me.” She was fixing her makeup and steadying her nerves at a pop-up vanity that Isabella had brought by for her. “I think she may have run off with Isaac again, I’ll go look for her,” I turned away and began walking around the shop calling for her, “Stephanie!” Today is the grand opening for Claudette Reed, Emma’s own store. Being the wife of a successful fashion CEO has some perks, and one of them is getting your name out there and having a lot of people to support you. Our daughter, Stephanie, was now four years old and the most mischievous little thing – she definitely takes after me, she even has my bright green eyes. Steph and Isaac were the best of friends, and she called Isabe
After the attempted scandal by NYFJ was taken down by Matthew’s brother, Ben, and his amazing hacking skills, life went back to normal for us. Matthew and I were dating, we were happy, Trish was his full-time assistant, and he even comes by to help me with Emile sometimes on his lunch break when I’m babysitting.Months passed, and one night, while Matthew and I were in a cab heading to a date he had planned, Matthew got a call from Isabella, telling him that she had had her baby. Being the baby's godparents, we hurried to the hospital as soon as possible and found her in a hospital bed with a small bundle swaddled in blankets in her arms, along with her parents on either side of her.Isabella smiled as she saw us enter the room and motioned for us to join her. Her parents made room, and Matthew went to one side of the bed and I went to the other, both of us looking down at the swaddled baby she held.“This is Isaac,” she introduced her ba
I woke up saddened that Emma didn’t stay over but feeling better after all that went down yesterday with Eli. I still didn’t know how I was going to get rid of these rumors about me cheating. Even if Emma believed me that it wasn’t true, that didn’t mean she was going to like seeing it on the front page of every magazine. I groaned as I rolled out of bed, hissing in pain as my bruises came alive. I felt my face and looked down at my naked torso, seeing a few bruises scattered, I smiled as I remembered last night when I told Emma I had “Booboo’s that needed kisses.” God, I’m pathetic, but it worked. I headed downstairs to find Ben and thank him for letting me stay over. I found him in the dining room, sipping on some coffee with the newspaper in hand, leaning back in his chair. “Morning, dad,” I mocked and he gave me a quick glare. I chuckled, “What? Isn’t this the sight kids come down to in the morning? Dad at the table with the paper and coffee?”
Matthew’s mom and I got along really well, and I look up to her now that I saw how she raised her boys when how they respected her. She mentioned Matthew getting mocked for having a busted face after a rumor spread of him cheating, so he went home with Ben and decided to hang out there for the next week or so for his bruises and cuts to heal. He had asked me to go to his apartment and get him some clothes and things he needed since he would be working from Ben’s home, he also asked me to bring Kay along with me, which I thought was odd, but I realized as soon as we got there why he asked for her to come. Ben answered the door of his house and his eyes went right to Kay, staring at her with a twinkle in his eye and a small smile forming on his lips. It was adorable, really, and looking over at Kay, I could see her blushing and smiling right back. Ben looks remarkably similar to Matthew, and I know Kay is fond of looking at Matthew, but it never dawned on me th
I had been glancing around for Emma but couldn’t find her anywhere and began to fear that she had left. My mother is my rock and the one person I truly admire and respect, other than Emma, of course, but my mother has my utmost respect and she deserved my attention at the moment. She took a step closer to me and said, “You’re the most honest person I know, Matty, and I’m proud of you for it. Now tell me, did you cheat on this mystery woman?” “No, I did not.” I noticed her slightly lift her chin before she asked, “Do you love her?” “More than anything.” She seemed pleased with my quick answers and stepped closer to cup my face, “My honest, loving boy. You need to fix this,” I nodded my head silently to her. She turned to Eli and did the same, saying, “My strong, courageous boy. You need to support your brother, not bring him down. I understand sibling rivalry, but trying to steal your brother’s girlfriend? Not okay. Do you understand?”
I gulped as I read the headline and stared at Eli’s cellphone, seeing the photographs underneath the headline. The first one was of Matthew and I on our first date walking on the sidewalk with our hands together, the one next to it was the photo of Matthew and Charlotte on the couch at the soirée – the same photo that made me throw up the first time I saw it.This time feeling no different, along with the heat from the day, I had to excuse myself from the boys and run to get some fresh air on the other side of the bleachers. I couldn’t be around anyone right now, I was feeling humiliated. Did everyone see this? Were they secretly laughing at me behind my back? My head was spinning.I pulled out my own phone and looked it up, reading the article, it said: “This reporter learns that Matthew Greene, CEO of Greene Designs paid off the photographer of the scandalous Charlotte Mercury photo by means of a sexual favor the very night it was taken
Emma stayed over and we made love all night until our bodies were exhausted. We were definitely making up for lost time and it was phenomenal finally being with her again. I was elated when she agreed to be my girlfriend again and come back to me. This time, I know we will be stronger than before because we both know how awful it was when we were apart.We were in the shower together when I told her about the plans for the day, “My brother invited me to play baseball with him. He’s practicing before the season starts and we always get together and have a little game with some friends,” the mention of my brother had Emma’s eyes widen for half a second but she hid it quickly.I knew that Emma and Eli had seen each other and danced in the club, I also know that she ran like hell when she realized who he was. The thought was both infuriating and amusing to me.If what Eli said was true, then there shouldn’t be any awkwardness between th
Matthew and I went straight to his apartment after we got back together and made out the whole ride there. We were making up for lost time together, and it was amazing - It was raw, passionate, loving, and much needed.The new stubble that he let grow out gave a new sensation when making out as it scratched against my face. It wasn’t painful, it was actually exciting having a new sensation there and brushing against my skin.Once inside, we began stripping our clothes off piece by piece. First came Matthew’s suit jacket, then I helped him with the buttons of his white shirt while he pulled up my shirt off of me, our lips only parting when necessary.We tried to make our way to the bedroom but failed and ended up on the large couch instead, Matthew hovered on top of me and let some of his body press against me, eventually grinding his hardening member on my leg, resulting in a tingling sensation in my core, begging me to give him entrance.I co
Inside a tall building in the heart of Manhattan, Natalie Freeman was hurrying to her aunt’s office to share with her the latest news that popped up on her phone. “Aunty Joyce, aunty, have you heard?” She pants as she hurries into the woman’s office. Joyce had her eyes glued to her computer as she responded to her niece, “I think everyone has heard, dear. The news is everywhere,” Joyce grabbed a remote and turned on her TV to one of the shows that talks all about celebrities and the hottest new gossip. Natalie and Joyce both looked at the TV on the wall as the reporter said, “The CEO of Greene Designs, a hot and upcoming fashion brand, who is known for his playboy lifestyle, has officially announced this morning that he is off the market and according to one anonymous source, completely in love with his new mystery woman!” The reporter continued, “The question that everyone is asking, is who is Matthew Greene’s mystery woman?” A second host wh
