“Oh. He wants to give me a job or something?” Charlotte asked Carlos who looked like he regretted opening his mouth in the first place. “I don’t know. He’ll tell you why he wanted to see you, please,” he said uncomfortably. Charlotte sighed and turned back to look at the trees. There was no need to get ahead of herself and worry herself for no reason. She had never held a job before, never had to. But then again, just like Carlos had said, it was tiring to stay at home all day, doing nothing but waiting for Xavier to come home. Maybe that was why she was always thinking about ridiculous things. However, she was afraid of disappointing him and even embarrassing him. As someone with no prior work experience, she would have to be under someone at the start. What if she ended up being bad at everything and people began to talk? Here she was again, spiraling. She was making herself tensed for no reason, even before Xavier had told her anything. She didn’t need a job. She already had
“Okay,” Charlotte said, after thinking over it for a while. “Two weeks.” “Thanks a lot,” he said with a plastered smile and reached out to shake her hand. “Welcome aboard.” A little wave of anger flashed over Charlotte. From how almost desperate he was to get her to work for him, she started to wonder if there was something he was trying to accomplish by using her. Maybe he needed people to see them together as often as possible now, so that positive news of them working together would replace the negative publicity that had formed during their honeymoon. As she took his hand grudgingly, she tried not to appear too disappointed. This was why she had been paid for anyway- to enhance his image. She had no right to be angry about that. “When do I start?” She asked. “It’s Thursday today so it’ll have to be next week,” he told her, looking up at the calendar hung in his room. “I’ll give you the contact of your trainer as soon as I can.” She nodded, pressing her lips together. “Can
“I can’t leave you even if I wanted to,” Xavier said with a chuckle as he pressed her hand against his cheek. Charlotte smiled and pressed it. “You’re so annoying. I’m supposed to be mad at you.” “I know,” he said with a grin. “I’m that charming.” Without warning, he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her against him, so close that she could perceive his sweet but musky scent. She didn’t try to release herself from his grip this time. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and smiled up at him. “If you ever make me doubt my sanity again, I’ll kill you,” she said and he laughed. “That sounds like a threat.” “Because it is.” With an affectionate smile, he stroked her hair with one hand while the other remained around her waist, pulling her closer even though there was no longer any space between them. She smiled back up at him, but her eyes were on his slightly parted lips. His smile reduced slightly when he looked at her plush lips that seemed to be beckoning him. “I love
“Now it’s your turn,” Xavier said, releasing himself from her and lifting her on the desk. He stepped away from her and admired her body, from her bare chest to her skirt bunched over her waist and her mound underneath it that still had his cum dripping out of it. “You have the hottest ‘just got fucked’ look,” he praised. She spread her legs wider and smiled when his gaze fell to her core and remained there. “Only you can make me look this way,” she said, running her hand softly over his cock that was still hard and pulsing, even though he had reached his orgasm just a few seconds ago. He got closer and positioned himself between her legs without moving. He placed his lips directly on her ear and whispered, “What do you want me to do to you?” Charlotte bit her lip as a dozen fantasies she had thought up filled her head all at once. “I want…” she began. Her request was interrupted by a knock on the door. As if whoever was behind the door could somehow develop x-ray vision and
“Will you like him to be in the room with us while I run your tests,” Dr Anna asked Charlotte, getting ready to proceed after Xavier brought her for her appointment. “Yes I will,” she said, holding his hand. This was not Charlotte’s first time meeting a gynecologist. In fact, most of her days had been spent at a hospital as the doctor Jonah had picked out for her kept poking and running tests to find out why she wouldn’t conceive. This woman seemed nice, but she wasn’t ready to hear what she already knew. Something was wrong with her and she just couldn’t get pregnant. It would be much better if he stayed with her. Besides, he already knew a little about her condition, so it wasn’t like anything the doctor said would surprise them. “Mr Roman here tells me you’ve been on birth control,” she asked. “Which one?” “Basva,” she said. “That’s a good one,” she nodded. “Less side effects. Your last reports say you have a condition that stops you from getting pregnant because your womb i
“I don’t want this to be a test anymore, Charlotte. Not even an extended one,” he said. “What do you mean?” She asked with her heart beating, because she had an idea of what he meant. “I’m saying I don’t want us to call this a test anymore. Let’s just…we’re married. Let’s just say I want to make it official. This relationship thing. But we’re already married so I’m not sure how much more official it can get. But you know what I mean. You’re right, you’re not my ex-wife and I…fuck. I don’t know what I’m saying,” he rambled and pinched the space between his brow in frustration. “I understand you,” she said immediately, hoping he wouldn’t take back his words just because he wasn’t used to expressing himself in this way. “Continue, please.” He exhaled. “Ok. I’m ready to move on, and I want to move on with you. I promise there won’t be any secrets or doubts between us again, if you’ll have me.” Even though he hadn’t said the exact words she wanted to hear, she was still moved to tears
“That’s all for today,” the trainer, whose name Charlotte later got to find out was Mary said, ticking something off her list and giving her a dirty look. “Any questions?” Charlotte smirked because even though the woman remained rude, Charlotte had managed to assert her dominance and now the woman was very mindful of the things she said to her. “No questions,” she said. “Great then,” Mary said, giving her a once over. “We’ll continue again tomorrow.” “Sure,” Charlotte said with a forced smile. “I really enjoyed our lessons today.” “Hmm,” Mary said with pursed lips before walking off. Charlotte took the elevator to Xavier’s office and knocked on the door. When he didn’t open the door, she turned the door knob and opened it herself. “You won’t believe how…” Charlotte began before she realized there were four other men with Xavier, sitting down for a meeting and looking at her like she had lost her mind. “Oh, I apologize. I’ll leave now…”She stepped back and was just about to shu
“No, no. That’s not possible,” Charlotte whispered, shaking her head. “Who would care so much to do that? What would they have to gain?” Xavier’s grip tightened on her knee, trying to comfort her and keep her in place all at once. “She may have made a mistake,” Xavier said in a way that let her know he was only saying that to make her feel better. “You don’t believe that,” she caught him in his lie. He sighed. “Dr Anna is the best gynecologist in the whole state. There’s no reason why she would risk her job and reputation just to lie for no reason.” “So who do you think was purposely trying to keep me from getting pregnant?” She asked, still unable to come to terms with it. “Do you suspect Jonah?” “Of course,” Xavier agreed immediately. “I’ll start up an investigation…” “Jonah was broken when he found out I lost the baby,” she cut in. “Our relationship went downhill because I couldn’t get pregnant. How on earth could he be the one stopping me from giving him the one thing he ev
