Their mingled breaths filled the bedroom while the musky scent of their lovemaking tinged the air. Every thrust had them straining closer and closer to the end, but it was the look of yearning and hunger on his wife's face that aroused Lucius to no end.
He had made love to countless women in his entire lifetime, but none of them had ever wanted him the way his Tassina did. And none of them certainly had made Lucius burn the way his wife was doing now, with her soft, dark eyes suddenly locking with his in hazy appeal.
"P-Please..."
Hearing her beg had Lucius growling as he grabbed a fistful of her hair. He yanked her close, his tongue thrusting inside of her mouth at the same time his own length surged into her moist, throbbing heat. That was all it took, with his wife crying out against his lips as his own control snapped. He began hammering into her like a wild beast, but his wife only sobbed for more as she kissed him back and her own hips moved just as wildly to meet every savage thrust.
I love her.
I love him.
I love you.
SAMANTHA WASN'T QUITE sure what to expect as Tassy entered her office to submit her report. She had the shock of her life when Lucius Young's legal team had contacted her last night, and it had taken a while for their words to really sink in.
Your employee, Tassina Bautista, is now married to our client Lucius Young.
Wedding took place during the Valentine's launch.
Confidentiality agreement required from all those present during the ceremony and their respective superiors.
Compensation and incentives for non-disclosure will be provided by Young Enterprises.
Samantha had signed the contract without hesitation, but only because she knew she hadn't really any choice. The Youngs were one of the world's wealthiest families, and they were known more for their cunning than mercy.
She had found it impossible to imagine how someone as sweet and meek as Tassy had ended up with a ruthless billionaire like Lucius Young, but the moment she saw Tassy's glowing face as the younger woman sat down in front of her—-
Oh, thank God.
Samantha knew what a woman in love looked like, and the truth was, Tassy had never looked like this in all the years she had been dating her college-sweetheart-turned-colleague.
Tassy straightened in her seat the moment she heard her department VP clear her throat.
"I'm afraid I've heard troubling news, Tassy..."
Tassy could only think of one thing as soon as she heard the older woman's words. Fontana. She had actually forgotten all about Xylan's new girlfriend, but she was also starting to realize that the things that used to hurt and confuse her...simply didn't matter any longer.
"Is it true—-"
Tassy took a deep breath.
"That you married a tall, dark, and handsome billionaire without inviting me?" Samantha couldn't help laughing as the younger woman's jaw dropped in shock.
"H-How d-did—-"
"Oh, my dear." Samantha looked at Tassy fondly. "You don't know about the NDAs, do you?"
Tassy could only listen in shock and confusion as the older woman told her about all the confidentiality agreements that her billionaire had everyone sign.
"Your husband's main concession to Damian Fox was that your wedding will be part of Foxtown's Valentine campaign. In exchange, he's bought you a week of privacy. Your husband's very protective of you. I'm assuming he wants you to have the chance to gradually adjust to living a life where you're in the spotlight the entire time."
"I had no clue," Tassy whispered.
"As incredible as it is to think...this is a love match between you, isn't it?"
Tassy nodded shyly, and Samantha couldn't remember seeing anything so adorably innocent. Most other women would have a far more mercenary reaction, or even a gloating one at that, when asked if they had married a gorgeous billionaire like Lucius Young.
"You can't imagine how happy this makes me, Tassy. What happened last week was just..."
"It's water under the bridge now," Tassy said with a smile.
"And of course you meant that, too," Samantha said with a sigh.
"Stella also told me about Xylan and Fontana. I'm happy for them as well. I'm just glad it all worked out nicely."
The other woman only nodded, and Tassy wondered why it seemed like there was something else Samantha wanted to say but couldn't.
Tassy was hoping things would be back to normal for the rest of the day, but the opposite proved true. Everyone was still looking at her in pity, but Tassy was stunned to realize it didn't bother her at all.
Love was a worker of miracles indeed, and she suddenly found herself missing her husband quite badly. He did tell her she could be clingy, but what if he didn't really mean it? Tassy gnawed on her lip as she stared at her husband's number on her phone, which Lucius himself had insisted she saved in her contacts under 'Mine'.
