Epilogue
Camilla
The tension was thick. We had all been called in for a mandatory meeting, including the receptionists and freelancers. It was about a week after the accident as well as the office fisticuffs, and Cooper was worried Ryan might have changed his mind, and he was going to be fired for starting the fight. Aden had Chris on his side, verifying that he had nothing to do with the fight, and if either of them were going to be fired, it would be Cooper. Frankly, I thought the whole thing was water under the bridge, and neither of them were going to be fired.
Before the speculation could go on any further, the door opened, and Ryan and Molly came in standing at the front of the table.
“I won't keep you too long, and don't worry, no one is getting fired.”
As he said this, he looked directly at Cooper, both Aden and I nudging him in the same moment.
“Told ya,” Aden whispered.
“It is good news I suppose, depending on your perspective,” Ryan continued.
“You're going back to New York?” Chris asked.
“Indeed, and I have chosen a manager, and it is Cooper.”
Cooper looked so panicked that I couldn't help but giggle. I've never seen anyone so resistant to getting a promotion.
“But I—”
“It's a done deal,” Ryan said, raising a hand, silencing him.
“I'm happy to follow your lead. It's not like I wanted it anyway,” Aden said.
I was really proud of him for taking it so well. But it was true. He really didn't want to be the manager. It would take to much time away from illustrating and animating, which is what he loved to do. Still though, it was nice to see them getting along again. If anything, they seemed to be getting along better than they had before the fisticuffs. The fact that I was going to be having Aden's baby no doubt helping to bring Coop around.
As icing on the cake, there was an actual cake with icing. Dutch chocolate if the color was anything to go by. We had moved out into the office by then, and Ryan was cutting the cake on the reception desk, which was the only piece of furniture large enough to hold the entire thing, gargantuan as it was.
I was standing by with great anticipation when Aden gently lay a hand on my hip, getting my attention.
“I need to talk to you.”
“Okay.”
I let him guide me over to the edge of the group.
“I know it's not the most romantic setting, but it still feels the right, considering we are surrounded by family and friends.”
Just when I was going to ask what he was on about, Aden got down on one knee, reaching into his pocket, taking out a small black box.
“Will you marry me?” he asked, cutting right to the point.
“Yes!” I said, the tears of joy already beginning to flow.
My exclamation got the attention of the assembled crowd, all of them seeing as Aden put the ring on my finger, a beautiful pink diamond in a white gold setting. With that simple movement, the get together became a going away/engagement party. As we all mingled, I noticed Shae was there, no doubt invited by Aden. She seemed pretty deep in conversation with Chris, and I wondered if there might be some kind of romance going on there. The thought was fleeting, my attentions soon seized by Aden firmly squeezing my ass.
“Would you like to go home?”
Aden drove carefully, as usual, one hand on the wheel, the other in my panties, lovingly massaging my aching pussy, easing my tension in the most wonderful way, still managing to keep his eyes on the road.
As soon as we were out of the car, Aden swooped me up into a bridal carry and carried me up to our apartment. Formerly his apartment. He won the coin toss, and to be fair, I did have fewer things to move.
Laying me out on the bed as he had done before, Aden gently undressed me, starting with my shoes. Getting me down to nothing, Aden started at my feet, which he had recently discovered that I loved, gently sucking my toes before kissing his way up the tops of both of my feet, one by one and then up my legs and along my inner thighs, finally reaching my pussy, continuing with gentle kisses on my outer lips.
Stroking my thighs, he started in with his tongue, running long, loving lips along the length of my pussy lips, the pleasure rushing through me, making my run my hands through his thick hair. He picked up speed a bit, gently spreading my pussy lips with his fingers and working softly on my clit, shooting me into the stratosphere. Pleasure, which only got stronger when he started doing his classic move of hard circular motions right on my clit, working two fingers inside me as he did so. Soon bringing me to an explosive orgasm.
