It was so powerful that words, thoughts, and any tenderness disappeared, and primal instinct took over.

No holding back.

No inhibitions.

We completely opened up to each other. In body, mind, and soul. The sex was carnal, but my heart overflowed with the love I received from this man and with the love I poured into him.

Sexual pressure surged within me. Every contact with him was so electrically stimulating, I felt like sparklers were going off all over my body.

His hands clutched my hips, the heat of the contact branding my skin…my soul, as his body slammed into my clit.

I was close to my climax. The pressure was overwhelming. My nails dug into his back. I wanted to tell him I was close. But only one word escaped as a strangled cry into the night sky.

“STEVEN!”

His grunts got louder. His groans more guttural. His thrusts more powerful. His last few thrusts slowing as he pushed himself deeper inside me.

“Laura!”

We climaxed together, as explosive as the fireworks above us. My nails scraped his skin, marking him as mine.

His fingers, like talons, clutched the flesh of my hips. Our howls, so loud and primitive, were declarations of love and worship for each other in front of the entire world, the whole universe, and all of humanity.

Claiming each other.

The sound of our voices escaped into the night, mingling with all the cheers, laughter, honks, and loud blasts of the fireworks.

Everyone in the city was celebrating the coming of the New Year, while Steven and I celebrated the dawn of our relationship. The genesis of our love. Two journeys merging into one new path.

3 months later.

The elevator doors opened, and Andrew walked in. “Giiirl, someone is dressed to kill or in your case, tokisss.” He looked at me over his half-rim glasses with mischief in his eyes. “What’s the occasion?”

I smoothed out my skintight black Valentino Couture dress. “It’s our three-month dating anniversary. We’re going back to Logaro’s where we had our first date.”

“I would tell you to convince Steven to come by the office sometime to say hi, but the chair is still really pissed that he left with ten of our best analysts. Poor John has to deal with the walrus without his best friend at his side.”

I snorted. “I think John has less headaches dealing with the chair since Steven left. John can charm anyone.”

“Oh, did you hear? Reed has finally found a job. Some hedge fund in Napa Valley hired him. Good riddance, I say.”

“I hope that leech learned his lesson. Sometimes I still worry that he might have backups of those pictures, but neither Steven nor I have heard from him.”

“Even if he did and he leaked them, it wouldn’t do anything to either of you now.”

Andrew was right, and Steven kept reassuring me every week. Those pictures couldn’t hurt our careers anymore, even if they got out.

“How’s Steven’s company doing? I heard it reached one billion in investor money last week.”

I grinned, so proud of my man. “It did. He’s doing really great. And he loves not having to answer to anyone. He misses working with John sometimes, but they talk all the time. Every day actually, like a couple of teenagers. And every weekend, they meet up with some guy called Hawk at Titan’s Club.”

“I’ve heard of it. It’s an exclusive club for the super-rich and powerful. Mostly billionaire investors who need to exert even more power by beating each other up in the cage. As if beating each other on the Wall Street trading floor isn’t enough. But what about you? Any plans to leave us soon to work at your man’s side?”

“I’m still learning so much from the new CFO the board of directors appointed. At first, I was worried he would be biased against me because of the chair’s hatred of Steven, but Mr. Smith is super awesome. He refuses to be swayed by the chair, and he’s recognized my talent and potential. He’s been a great mentor, but after my internship, I want to find a job on my own. Prove to myself I can make it without Steven’s influence. But we still discuss my theories on the weekends.”

Andrew raised his eyebrows. “You actually have time on the weekend to talk shop?”

I felt my cheeks get hot. “Well, not that much time.”
