“Shhh, don’t say that. Howard is a fool. Why would anyone hurt you so?” I said comfortingly, patting her back.

She chuckled and looked up at me, “So you’re a fool?” She saw the frozen look on my face and laughed. “You’re cute when you’re flustered. Thanks for this. I needed a moment to myself.”

I held her close; I wasn’t ready to let her go. “Watching you with him tonight made me realize how much I have been holding back from sharing my feelings with you. I’m sorry, Marie.”

She touched my face, and I pressed my cheek into her palm. “I didn’t have as much fun as I wanted to. I ought not to have brought him along. I just wanted to…” She lowered her eyes, looking shy.Too late for that now.

I let out a deep breath, “Would you like to dance with me?”

She didn’t reply but began swaying in my arms. I joined her. It was dark, but I could feel her eyes on me. Our breaths joined and the proximity of our bodies made mine heat up. She was irresistible this close.

She tiptoed up and kissed me. I kissed her back, pressing our bodies closer together. She pushed her weight on me. I hit my back against the wall, but we didn’t stop. In a haze, we kissed, touching each other hungrily. Her hands went to my belt, undoing it. I gasped as she grabbed me. Her warm hand made me feel hotter, I was hard and throbbing in her hand.

“You don’t know how long I’ve wanted this since I saw you tonight….” she said breathlessly. She moaned when I kissed her neck. I pushed her against the wall and hiked up her dress.

“This might be sloppy,” I said after we broke the kiss.

“I want you nonetheless.”

I nodded, bringing her legs around my waist. She held her breath as I pushed into her, slowly.

“Oh, Karl…. yes!” She yelped when she felt my full length within her.

Her hands went around my neck as I started a rhythmic movement—back and forth. I wanted to have as much time as possible with her, but we were out in the open where anyone could see us. I was thinking about changing our location. Her hands held my face.

“Focus on me. Forget about whatever you’re thinking.” The charm in her voice held me.

Growling, I thrust with rapt attention. I let her moans of pleasure wash over me. The sweat beading my face rolled down to her breasts. I wished to suck and feel them. I could not have everything I wanted.

I switched us to another wall and this time she took control, bouncing up and down with relish. My muscles kept twitching from the waves of pleasure coming from my length. She could feel me holding back. She clenched her smooth walls, sucking hard on me.

“Goddammit!” I grunted. I didn’t give in. She laughed, fatigue in her voice. I held her waist to stop her movement. We were breathing hard and shallow.

We both went to the floor. I placed my back against the wall and spread my legs so she could sit on me. I gazed at her face, feeling lucky to have this woman in my arms.

“You’re beautiful. Truly.”

She paused, looking at me in confusion. One of my hands went around her waist, the other pulled on her dress to feel her hard nipples. She bit her lip, biting back a moan.

“Go on.” I breathed close to her ear.

As if possessed, she went up and down in a frenzy, but I kept her steady. Her hair once bound in a bun loosened and fell around her shoulders. I could no longer hold back, as she came back down on me, I held her from moving and kissed her as I climaxed. My body and mind were so hot, I was seeing white. I felt her shudder in my arms, calling my name dreamily. She rested her body on me, tired and satisfied. I was about to close my eyes for a moment when out of the corner of my eyes, I caught a camera flash. I thought I was seeing things, but it came again, rapidly.

Faintly, I saw the outline of a man. “Hey!” I called out. He was spooked, so he ran. Marie didn’t seem to notice. I gave up on chasing him, I couldn’t leave her now.

Chapter 17

MARIE

GivingMorrisafilefor him to go over, I leaned back in my seat, relieved to have cleared most of my workload for the day. It was getting late, so I packed up and prepared to leave. Morrison already had his instructions, I just informed him I was leaving and left the building. At the parking lot, I went straight to my car. I opened the door and set my bag on the opposite seat.

I was about to close the door behind me when I noticed an envelope stuck to my windshield.What’s that?Furrowing my brows, I took it off. Written boldly on it was my name. A cold dread swept my body. Looking around, I saw no one suspicious. I rushed back into my car, my heart beating erratically.

Frantically, I opened the envelope. Several pictures spilled into my lap. My hands shook. Tentatively, I picked up one of them. I saw myself pressed to the wall with Karl. My mind spun. Someone caught us having sex and took these images. I checked several of them. There was no way I could deny it. I was the one with Karl. If this got out, even if the company survived, my reputation would be ruined.

I began to doubt myself. Was Karl behind this?Why would he?Checking the envelope, I found a short phrase,caught you, whore.I shook with anger. Who could be out for me? I blamed myself for not being more careful. If I had been somewhere more private with Karl, this wouldn’t have happened.

Throwing the pictures behind me, I drove out of the parking lot. I kept looking behind to see if anyone was following. I hated how paranoid I felt. When I arrived, I put the pictures back into the envelope. Inside the house, I went to the fireplace, started a fire, and threw in each picture individually. I watched it all burn with the envelope. I was too ashamed to keep them. I don’t regret what I had with Karl but having pictures of it without my consent felt like an insult.
