I kissed her again, our tongues moving together in the quiet house. I slowly undressed her before I made her come with my fingers, her legs wide for me. We hurried to my room half-dressed and horny as she ran ahead of me. I watched her tight ass move as she turned into my door and threw herself on the bed with a laugh. I pounced, telling her to stay on her stomach as I crawled forward and ran my tongue over her sweet folds. Vivian moaned, and I spread her open for me, circling her clit as she shuddered. Once she came again for me, I kicked off my pants and held myself in my hand, craving her tight heat. I slid inside of her as she cried out, feeling how well she wrapped around me as I slid deeper. Vivian was perfect for me and I closed my eyes as we moved together, both of us edging closer to a joint release.

We dropped on the bed when we were satisfied. Vivian rested her head on my chest, still covered with the shirt that I wore to the office. This was everything that I wanted, and I told her as much as she smiled and looked at me. We made our way down to eat, dressing in the clothes as we walked. I knew that we were both a little nervous about being caught, but my house and yard were extremely private. We sat down with bowls of soup and crusty sourdough bread at the small table, splitting a bottle of wine as we caught up on our days. We watched a movie once we cleaned up and she came upstairs to make love one more time.

It hurt to watch her go and sleep in her own room, but it was the best idea. We couldn’t be in here together this time and I turned on a late-night show to give the big room some noise.

We left for the office together and she pressed her hands down her black slacks. Anne was already at the house prepping the big dinner for us and I knew that the house was well cared for. “You look beautiful,” I told her as Vivian glanced at me. She did with her hair in silky curls and eyes still sleepy.

“Thanks,” she replied as she reached for the travel cup of coffee that we were sharing on the drive. “We should go out to dinner after work since we’re in the city already.”

“That would be great,” Vivian agreed as I smiled and merged into another lane. We were first at the office and I took advantage of it by taking her to my private bathroom and kissing her senseless before I made her come through her pants. I splashed some water on my face and smiled as I gave her a moment to recover, hearing voices as I started the process of getting ready for the day.

Vivian emerged as a few of the managers dropped in to go over projects and she made a good show of sitting with the laptop and looking busy. They left, and she gave me a wide-eyed gaze as I smiled at her. Vivian had a look after she’d come that made it obvious, but I thought it was sexy. Her cheeks were flushed, and she looked softer somehow, making her more beautiful than she already was.

We worked together throughout the day before going to dinner. I took Vivian to my apartment and opened the door as she walked inside and looked around. “I always wondered where your den of sin was.”

“My what?” I asked as she gave me a rueful smile.

“I knew that you brought women here before. You always said it was work, but I suspected the truth all along.” Vivian said as she looked around the basic design.

“I haven’t had someone else here for months, Vivian. You’re it for me.” I assured her as I walked towards her, reaching around to unbutton her pants, letting them slide to the floor. She tore open my shirt and pants, ridding me of them as fast as she could before I carried her to my bed. We fucked there late into the night before going home since I had the following day off. We walked inside, and she looked around to see if the house was empty before she kissed me again.

We parted for the night and I walked slowly up the stairs with a sigh. We’d be doing this regularly for the next few days and I needed to accept that.

The next day came and so did family and friends. They brought trays of cookies and bread for the following day, sipping wine as we caught up. Vivian was dressed in black pants and a burnt orange sweater as she caught everyone up with school. I couldn’t help looking at her throughout the day and she looked back with the same desire that I was feeling inside.

Bella arrived late that night, throwing her

self into my arms before she moved over to Vivian. I was happy to see my daughter, but I knew that any private time with Vivian was gone now. Bella had a quick dinner and then dragged Vivian to her room to talk. I grabbed a beer and walked up to my room alone, feeling resentful of Bella for a moment before I pushed that thought away. I missed her and tossed and turned fitfully as I wondered what the girls were talking about. I woke early the following day, dressing for a run and going around the neighborhood as I tried to work out my emotions on a ten-mile trip.

The girls were up with Anne when I got back, and they were busy in the kitchen. I said hello and walked into my office to check some emails and kill time. I knew that we’d be eating in the late afternoon and that the kitchen would be chaos until then, since Anne was going home early to eat with her own family. Everyone started arriving and the women went into the kitchen to help while the men gathered in the living room to watch. It was normally a wonderful tradition but this year I just craved Vivian as I watched her across the room. We sat a few chairs away as I cut into the huge bird and said my thanks for the year, knowing the one that I was holding back.

I managed to sneak a kiss from Vivian after the house was quiet and Bella was on the phone for a few minutes. It wasn’t enough. I let her go to sleep in Bella’s room and felt the urge to tell my daughter that I was in love with her best friend. We didn’t have plans the next day and I considered that possibility as I stared up at the ceiling.

We went out to lunch the following day once everyone was awake and planned a leftovers dinner later in the night. I watched as the girls sat beside each other and giggled like the old days but there was a look of sadness in her eyes that only I seemed to notice. The night went by like a blur before we were driving Bella to the airport and dropping her off. I promised that I’d be in the city to see her play as I hugged her and watched Vivian do the same.

Once we were in the car, I reached for her hand and held it tightly as we stared at each other. We went home and made love, agreeing that we needed to tell people about us soon. Hiding it was too hard and I knew it in the way that I fucked her like an animal in bed that night. I couldn’t get enough, and she cried out as I kept thrusting until I came inside of her, her warmth washing over me. I held her tight that night, knowing that we’d be alone for the most part over the next few days.

CHAPTER 24

Vivian

I talked to Boyce every night once I was back at the apartment. We spent whatever time we could together, under the radar of course. I was starting to hate it and when the Christmas holidays grew closer, I brought up telling Bella at some point when we were all together. He agreed. We also planned our getaway and I couldn’t wait to be alone with him somewhere that we could let go of our fears.

We planned to go to the city to see the play the weekend before Christmas with some family and Boyce reserved a hotel for everyone, booking separate rooms for each of us. It killed me to sleep away from him, but I stayed quiet as he made the reservation in Vermont for us.

I came home from school with just a night before we went to New York. I crawled right into bed with Boyce and finding his mouth with mine. We stayed there until the morning when I got up to check that I packed properly for the few days extra that we were going to be gone. We chose to fly with the snowy weather and boarded the plane to slip into our first-class seats as I smiled at him.

Boyce reached for my hand underneath the blanket and I clutched him tightly. I knew that I was starting to weaken, and I dropped my head to his shoulder. We landed in an hour and a half and caught a cab to the hotel where Boyce checked us in and I walked inside of the beautiful, lonely room and set my luggage on the single bed. I knew that Bella was going to try to come over before the performance and I walked over to the window to look over the city. It was gorgeous, and I soaked in the energy of the streets just standing here as I wrapped my arms around myself. Bella came, and we had an early dinner before she headed to the theater to get ready as we walked the streets together, going to meet the rest of the group.

“I feel like no one would give us a second look here,” Boyce said beside me as I looked at him.

“Nobody apart from your family,” I reminded him as I looked ahead on the crowded street. I almost kissed him today, not even thinking for a fleeting second. I caught myself and even though Bella shot me a weird look, I doubted that she suspected anything. I knew that she was distracted with the play and I just wanted to see her live her dream.

It was a gorgeous play and Bella was the star. Her part was not a main one, but her skill made her rise above the rest. She was meant to be here, and I pressed my leg against Boyce for a moment before stretching in the dark. We all hugged and kissed her once it was over, which was when Boyce mentioned a last-minute trip for work. He assured everyone that he’d be back for Christmas, that this came up suddenly and it was a very important client.

“Want to stay here with me?” Bella asked as she moved to my side with a glass of champagne. “It’s a bit tight being small and with Kellan staying with me most of the time, but we could make it work. We could go home together.” Kellan was a set designer that she’d been dating for a while now and I shook my head.

“I’ll be fine.” I assured her as she frowned at me. “I will. We’ll see each other soon.”
