Twenty two

Your POV

After a night of tossing and turning in bed, I finally make up my mind.

- I'm going to Washington for my mother's birthday party. Anyway, I need to spend a few hours with Tom. He's trying not to sound like he needs me but I know spending the afternoon at the office will bring him a great deal of relief.- Scarlett nods and smiles politely.

- Ok.

- It's about my mother, not him. Or me. I go because of her. She had a breakdown after the release of my father's endless list of cases. I've been holding a grudge against her for a long time, taking it out on her for loving him because he doesn't deserve her love or her loyalty.

She fills my mug with coffee and sits down across from me. I grab her and as she starts to walk away and pull her onto my lap.

- I travel tonight. I'll be back the day after the party.- This will still give me a few days off before the fight with Colin although I don't mention this part to Scarlett. I've learned that this is a subject we will never agree on so it's best to avoid it.

- you're coming back? - she asks surprised.

- Of course I'll be back.- I frown.- Do you think I was going to pack my bag and say " goodbye, it was nice meeting you"? - The more I think about it the more irritated I get to think that she thought I was going to disappear after the weeks we spent together.

- I. Us. I..... it's just that..... we never talk about the future after your business is done here.

- My business is far from over here.

She looks at me. Her face fresh from the shower and without makeup makes her even prettier than usual. There is something so vulnerable about her, but at the same time so strong...

- I thought you had said that the bank was almost finishing the analysis and that almost everything was already settled with the investors.

- And it is.- I kiss the crook of her shoulder.- That's not the thing I'm referring to. There are other more important things here that I need to take care of.

The corners of her lips turn up in hope. She wraps her arms around my neck.

- And what other things do you need to take care of? - She asks shyly.

With one finger, I trace a path on her shoulder, and the index finger pulls the strap of her blouse. Following the delicate curve of her collarbone, I move to her other shoulder and reach for the other strap as well. The thin fabric of her nightgown falls to the floor, revealing her perfect breasts. I'm mesmerized as I watch her nipples before my eyes.

- There's a lot of business here that I have to take care of. Important business.- I lower my mouth to the nipple and suck it hard, biting it a little before releasing it and pulling my head away.- I'll tell you about it while I take care of them now.- I pick her up. She gives a little squeal and the sound makes me smile even more.- Are you ready for the details?

She nods and bites her lower lip, her eyes turning from playful to half-closed.

- I didn't hear it right.- I start to walk towards the room.

- Yes.

The word comes out breathlessly. It makes my cock harden in my pants just knowing I can make her feel this way.

- Yes what? - I want to hear the details.

And so I do. I tell her every important thing I have to take care of before I do: suck her nipples, lick her sweet little pussy, make her scream my name when she comes.
