The first order of business was to find out more about the travel ban. Easy enough, given the ships lighting fast Wi-Fi. The good news was I that had convinced officials at the Marsh Harbor airport to extend our return tickets until we were allowed to re-enter the US, which looked like it could be a good long while.
It sounded like an agitated woodpecker. I tried to ignore it, but the knocks just came again and again, running the risk of driving me mad. Moving across the large cabin, in a less than genial mood, my attitude readjusted itself when I saw the one knocking on my chamber door.
“Busted!” Lauren sang.
“What are you on about?”
“Oh, come on, don’t even try to lie,” she said, forcing her way into the cabin.
“I really don’t – ”
“Oh yes! Right there! Fucking my tight little pussy, Max! Fuck me hard!”
Carrie’s exact words, said in a surprisingly good impression. Fuck. I could smack myself for not realizing that Lauren’s cabin was right next to ours and the walls, while nice, really weren’t very soundproof.
As pissed as I was at myself, I was even more pissed at her. She knew full well it could ruin my reputation if it ever got out that I was boinking my assistant. A good number of the more conservative clients would be vaporized.
“What do you want?” I asked, assuming she was blackmailing me.
“A raise of course. For starters at least, and then we’ll see,” she said with a vulgar wink.
I had been fairly certain she was just using me to gain money. Turned out she wanted sex and power too. I could have given her a costume and a catchphrase, and she could have been a z-grade supervillain.
The travel ban was going to go on for a while, so I had time to weigh my options. I never actually agreed to Lauren’s demands. I just made it sound like I would. I needed to get back to American shores before I could really access my finances. It was bullshit of course, but she believed it.
She wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer. Even so, I figured it would be best if Carrie and I stayed away from each other for a while both by day and by night. Just in case. Not being an idiot, I texted the love of my existence and let her know what was going on and what my plan was. Text messages were generally more difficult to intercept than any other medium.
Soon enough, the ship took us back to the island. With some of my legendary negotiating skills, I got them to give us another four rooms indefinitely for half price per room. I didn’t get rich by spending money I didn’t have to.
I made sure that Carrie and I were nowhere near each other in terms of our rooms. We barely even looked at each other at meals. It hurt like hell. It was like someone stuck a knife in my rib cage. But what no one knew was that I was evolving a plan.
It took two weeks for the travel ban to lift, but even then, there were some pretty strict limits put on the populace. One of them was that we stay inside for a minimum of two weeks. No one ever actually specified who had to stay where.
“Wow, this place is huge,” Carrie said, sitting on the antique couch in the living room.
We would take care of her lease and I would of course pay to have her stuff moved in, but all that could wait. What was really important was that we were home and we were together. At least we would be.
“What are you doing?” Carrie asked.
“I just have one thing to do, then I’ll show you the bedroom.”
“Do you really think it’s safe?”
“Perfectly. I have decided I really don’t give a shit who knows about us, because I love you.”
“I love you too,” she said, getting just a little bit misty.
Working her way up from the couch, she took me in a loving embrace, her face pressing gently onto my chest.
“I also just fired Lauren and promoted Thomas,” I added.
Tucking the phone back into my pocket, I took Carrie by the hand and guided her into the master bedroom, laying her out on the beautiful four-post bed.
“Wow,” she said again, gazing around the bedroom.
“I know, right?”
It was summer, so she was wearing a light summer dress. It made it much easier to strip her naked. She was bare but for her back brace, which I had gotten really used to working around over the last month.
Stripping myself down to nothing, I joined my beautiful lover on the big old bed, all the love I had been holding onto since Lauren’s threat pouring out in the form of kisses all over her luscious body.
