Brian’s POV
“And what about me? I mean… about your job? The case?”

Was he fucking kidding me? “What about me?” What about him? He was her fucking boss, but he was acting like a clingy boyfriend. I looked at him, he was almost begging Amy to stay and hold his puny little hand through his life. Back off asshole, she is mine.

He finally seemed to get Amy wouldn’t fall for his sad, begging ways, but then he tried a different approach. He took her hands in his and stared at her as if they were in some romantic moment instead of squashed on a couch with her husband preset…

Hello? Still here!

“Is this really what you want? I mean… you had a distance relationship, how long are you even a couple and what does he do? How will you finance all this, Amy? Your apartment, the running costs, your job, the flights? I mean, you know I can’t pay you for not being at work… Don’t you think you should rethink all this…?”

Now he stepped over the line, he had been very close before, but now I couldn’t hold the anger that was boiling inside of me anymore.
“I can take care of my wife perfectly fine, thank you! She will be short of nothing, I’m good for her, I’m good to her. And all the other questions. None of your fucking business!”

“I would really like to hear that from her. We have been working together for a while, we have become friends and this is all just a little weird. Maybe she doesn’t even want to come with you, maybe you are forcing her, so I want to talk to my friend. Alone.” He ended smartly, as if he figured it all out. His eyes got the challenge in them, daring me to lash out in front of Amy.

I chose to ignore him, keeping my flaring anger under wraps. I got up and held my hand out to Amy “Honey, we should finish your packing”. Amy nodded at me, but remained seated.
“Brian, please, give me and James another couple of minutes, okay?”
“Amy-“ Her hand slipping in mine, make me stop that sentence before I even started it. She got up, standing very close to me now.
“This is my life here, let me handle this like it should, I want to keep my job, okay?” her voice imperative, but there was something else. Didn’t she think I would take care of her? I meant what I said, I would give her everything she wanted when she was with me.

And then it hit me, she had to go back after we got divorced. She needed her job and her apartment. Way to be stupid again Haner!
”Okay, okay, but I’m not leaving the room” I huffed. James was looking at me with a smirk on his face, so he thought he won this battle huh? Definitely not! I put my hands on Amy’s hips and pulled her to me, I freed one hand to caress her cheek, before I leaned down, capturing her lips with mine. As soon as the sigh escaped her lips, all around us was forgotten. I wrapped myself around her even tighter and let my tongue go over her lips, finding her opening up to me immediately. Our tongues lost in a slowdance that only we knew the steps to.

“Ahem… Ahem!” Did he really think that breaking this moment would break us? Think again, sucker.

I backed away a little, and sucked Amy’s bottom lip just one last time, before I brought my hand to her face again “Be quick, okay?” I whispered, only for her ears to hear. Amy had a deep blush on her face and her voice was nonexistent for a second, she only nodded as she slowly sat down again. That kiss would be in her mind the whole time, and hopefully she was thinking of everything I could do with her as soon as the door had closed behind that James guy. Because damn, I was dying to have her.

The sooner that asshole left, the more time we would have. I was counting on Matt using everything he had on Sara, so they wouldn’t be back for a while. Yes, we had a plane to catch, but there were a few hours more before we had to leave.

I took a few steps to where Sara had been standing earlier and leaned against the side table, crossing my arms over my chest and listened in to the conversation.

“To answer your questions, James, yes, this is really what I want. We have been together for a while, but because of the long distance thing… I didn’t want to tell people, it has been so hard on me, on Brian, telling people would´ve only made it harder.”

Damn, she sounded sure, without a doubt, she was lying like a pro. Never thought that of her, but hey, she was a lawyer, maybe I shouldn’t have been surprised. When she continued her voice had changed, she sounded uncertain and not at all like the Amy that she had been just mere seconds ago.

“As for the finances. I’m really praying this won’t bring my job into jeopardy. I really want to keep working for you, I really like my job, and the pay is enough for me to get around. Even though I would never turn down a raise of course” she joked with a weary smile. For a moment silence was the only thing that was to be heard in the room and I couldn’t believe he didn’t even try to reassure her! NOW he was playing the boss instead of the friend?

“What do you say, James? You still want me to work for you? Even though I didn’t tell you I got married? Or send you an invite?” she tried to force a smile, but I could see she was anxiously waiting for him to answer her.
“If you promise to not stay away too long, I think we can work something out. But I don’t think I can let you do the case” he sounded sorry and disappointment washed over Amy’s face.

“But.. I… I could…” she was thinking real hard about a solution, she really wanted this huh? I almost felt guilty for coming to get her “Let me think. I really want to do it. You would be handling the meetings with the clients, right?” James nodded. “What if…. What if we set up a skype meeting every day!”
“YES! That could work” James replied enthusiastically and there was my anger again, louder than before. How was it that Amy didn’t see his true colors, they were as obvious as neon lights!
“I don’t know if that will work, Amy, you know we will have obligations, and-“ I offered, but she wasn’t even listening.
“We could plan it, I could do all the work I would have done if I was here, but then from a distance. I promise I will meet all the deadlines, I won’t disappoint you, I will make sure to prove to you made the right choice. I promise!” Amy got that little twinkle in her eyes again, now she was all enthusiastic.
“I know you will” James inched closer to her and pulled her in a tight hug, shooting me a challenging look over his shoulder.

“That’s fucking enough!” I growled as I did one step forward, but Amy already let go of him and they both got up.

“You will plan the meetings in my calendar? You know I’m totally helpless without you” The asshole had put his hands on Amy’s shoulders and watched her closely as she nodded with a smile on her face.
“You won’t even notice I’m gone, I will arrange everything for you from California. It will be good, I promise.”
He pulled her into another hug before he finally opened the door to leave “Call me if you need anything, okay? On a personal level, but also professional, I’m always in your corner, use the connections you have, when you might need them?”

Did he just offer himself as a lawyer? I know our planning was to get divorced soon, but he didn’t know that! Did he offer to be her divorce lawyer, even though we were only married for 2 weeks? That guy had no boundaries, no boundaries at all!

Amy stood in the door opening for a second, before she closed the door and turned to me. Before she could even say something, I had her pressed against the door, my lips hungrily attacking hers. Her body stiffened up at first, her hands even trying to push me away, not with any conviction, but softly, as if she was supposed to do it, but not really wanted to.
“Stop me now Amy, right this second, or I will finish it!” I groaned, just backing away from her far enough, to speak to her mouth. She shook her head immediately
“That’s what I thought!” I bit her bottom lip and continued my assault of her mouth.

My hands were going over her body in the meantime, up and down her sides, cupping her breasts, my thumbs rubbing her nipples that were boring through her shirt. I left her mouth, peppering small kisses all over her jaw, making my way over to her neck, softly sucking below her ear, going lower and lower, putting a small kiss on the love mark I had left on her on our last day on the Bahamas together. It was fading, maybe it was time for me to make a new one.

“Brian I don’t…. Oh!” Her sentence stopped as abruptly as it had started as soon as my hands hand found their way to her pants.
“You are still mine Amy, don’t forget that. As long as we haven’t signed those divorce papers, I have the exclusive right to you. No James can take me away from you, remember that!”
My hand had slipped into her pants, conquering her panties right away. I let my fingers go over her folds, which I felt getting wetter and wetter with every move, every word. Her moans confirmed everything I thought I knew…. She liked this.

“Because that asshole stayed too long I can’t do what I want to do so so badly” I pushed my erection to her body, letting her feel what she was doing to me. We could be in Phoenix instead of the Bahamas, but that definitely didn’t change. I wanted her as soon as I came in eyes reach, there was no use in denying. “But I will definitely get a taste of you, an appetizer for everything to come later. Because my dear Amy, I will let you come”

I fell down to my knees and tugged her pants down, immediately putting my tongue to her wet heat, lapping up all those delicious juices. Amy’s hands found their way into my hair and started pulling it softly with every wave of ecstasy that was already flowing through her. She wouldn’t take long, and because that was actually the timeframe that we had available now, I decided to let her explode quickly. I put my lips to her clit and sucked. Hard. It only took her 2 seconds to scream out my name. I held her up, by putting my hands on her hips, as her knees buckled and all her excitement was flowing over my tongue.

The look on Amy’s face was priceless and I got up to look into her eyes. I kissed her softly, letting her taste herself on my lips, before we leaned our foreheads together, both heavily breathing.

Our peaceful moment was broke by a deep chuckle in the hallway.

Sara’s POV
I forced myself to open my eyes as soon I felt Matt lose himself inside of me. The amazing orgasm he had given me was far from faded, but the look on his face was one I didn’t want to miss. His face bathed in bliss, he looked so content, as if this was the only place he wanted to be.

It was just sex.

Just lust.

At least that was what I was telling myself. Just sex, just lust. That I could handle and that was the reason I had given into him anyway. Not the fact that I didn’t have any choice when he was near. I let him pleasure me, two adults, just sex. That was as far as this would go.

Matt pulled out and let himself fall next to me “That was amazing” he sighed. I was staring at the ceiling, but his big hand found a way to my face and turned it towards him. A soft kiss on my lips, a caress over my cheek. No Matt, don’t, no affection. I turned my back to him and got out of bed, pulling the sheet with me, wrapping myself into it. I stood next to the bed and shot a look over my shoulder, the image of that perfect man, sprawled over my bed, butt ass naked, was one I would use in my dreams for months to come.

“I’m taking a quick shower” I walked into my adjoined bathroom, turning the shower on. As soon as I stepped under the spray I felt my muscles relax. This shower was my best buy ever, I loved my shower. As I enjoyed the water, I caught myself listening for sounds of Matt entering the bathroom. Why didn’t he come? I sighed deeply and closed down the taps decisively. I wasn’t doing this. The sex had been amazing, but I couldn’t give myself to him like I had did at the Bahamas. That wouldn’t end well. It was exactly right the way it was now.

I toweled myself dry and wrapped myself in it, quickly brushed my hair and put it in a messy bun up my head, before I walked back into my bedroom. Matt was dozing off, his eyes were closed and his breath was regulating with a few hiccups in between.
“Hey! Don’t fall asleep! We have to leave soon” I kicked his leg with mine, before I let the towel drop to put on some underwear.
“We have time” he was already behind me and pushed himself to me as he kissed my neck “I like it when your hair is up, it gives me such easy access”
I clasped my bra and put the straps over my shoulders, to only find them pushed down again “Come on, Sara, you don’t need this yet. Brian and Amy can wait”

“But the plane can’t, or did you change your mind about me flying to Huntington?” I smirked stepping back to get a little more distance between us. “If you want you can take a shower… I will get packed in the meantime” I slipped on my favorite baggy jeans, a tanktop and a sweatshirt.
“You will regret that sweatshirt… hell, you will regret the jeans, it’s hot in Huntington…. Just like you” Another kiss.

“Matt, seriously” I stepped away from him again and put the suitcase on my bed
“What?”
“This was a onetime thing. It was great, but that was it, it won’t happen again. We did the fling thing, it was done, we were done. It was good, continuing will ruin things. Let’s try to be friends, for Amy and Brian’s sake”
Matt’s face fell and he looked disappointed “That was even faster than I thought”
“What is that supposed to mean?” I stopped throwing random things in my suitcase and looked at him. He was getting dressed and I bit my lip. It was actually a shame to cover up such perfection.

“I knew you would do that. Create distance between us after we have proven once again that we are very good together without any distance” he stated matter of factly. “But it’s okay, I’m a patient man”
“What?!”
“Nothing… my house is big enough to chase you around in” he smirked before sneaking into the bathroom.

What did he mean by all those remarks? Chase me around his house? To hell he would. I wasn’t sleeping at his house. I hoped Brian had room enough for both Amy and me, because there was no way I was leaving her side. It would be both of us in his house, or both of us at a hotel. But I wouldn’t be over at Matt’s house, no fucking way.

I was trying to close my suitcase when Matt strolled back in, in all his handsomeness. Of course I had packed too much again. Way, way, way too much, the zipper was only moving an inch at the time.
“Let me” Matt pushed me aside and zipped the suitcase up in one go, turning to me with a triumphant face.
“Showoff!”

Matt chuckled as I made my way out of the bedroom. Next stop was my home office where I started collecting things I would definitely need. I had to do some work, I couldn’t afford myself another holiday. So I packed my laptop, my notebooks, the paperwork I got on the analysis I had to do first and my to do list. I was lucky I had a few assignments I could do from home, but I had to make sure I would have a good place to work, no slacking off for me this time.

“Are you almost done? We have to pick up the newlyweds or time will be tight” Matt stood there, my suitcase in hand, looking a gorgeous and mighty and I had to look away. Shit, what was I getting myself into, this could never ever work out.

Most of the press had left when we arrived at Amy’s building, but the few that were still there had finally seemed to realize it was Matt that was there. Most of them just wanted a good picture of him, but the minute he extended his arm to grab my hand one of them called out “Is she the reason for your divorce with Val?”
Until then I had kept my face low, just like Matt had instructed me, but that remark caught me off guard, snapping my head up, right at the man with the camera, who started clicking away.

“Shit! Get inside, now!”Matt put me behind his body and pushed through to get inside quickly.
“I’m sorry” I breathed out as soon as we got in the elevator “I didn’t want to look at him, I just… I was surprised”
Matt smiled a half smile “It is not your fault, but Larry won’t be too happy of a picture of you and me holding hands, you face on full display. Let´s hope they didn’t get a good one. Brian is still the big news with his wedding. In the worst case scenario you are only a fling to get me over my break up… and well… we both know that is not far from the truth”

That hurt. Even though he was right, even though I was trying to say that to myself all the time we had been together…. It still hurt. And that was exactly why I didn’t need to get more involved with him.

We silently walked over to Amy’s apartment, reaching it just in time to hear a few thumps to the door, followed by Amy screaming a very loud “Brian!” Matt looked at me sideways and we both laughed, there was no doubt what they were doing. Matt chuckled again, before he let out a little too loud;

“You guys done?”

Notes

Goodmorning! Hope you guys had the best Christmasses!

Let´s get back to this story, shall we?
Brian marked his territory, and Matt is losing some... How will this continue?
