Taking a deep breath I look at his parents, “It was so lovely meeting you, but I’m going to have to excuse myself now. Thank you for inviting me for dinner.”
As I’m walking away I feel like all eyes are on me and I can still hear Emmelia’s screeching voice.
“Corvin, what in the hell do you think you’re doing dating that evil bitch?”
“Don’t you ever talk about my girlfriend that way, Em. I love her. Do you understand me?”
Thank god the elevator is already there waiting. I hurry in and as the doors shut I see Corvin with a look of horror on his face. Grabbing my phone I text Jenson knowing he’s just few doors up eating.
Me: I need you ASAP! Come get me fast. Will be at entrance. Hurry Jen! XO
Hitting send, I look at the descending numbers above the door. This trip down is taking so long. As the doors open I get a reply.
Jen: In the car be there in 2 min.. U ok? Xo
Stepping onto the curb I’m praying Jenson hurries. Just then I feel Corvin grabbing my elbow he turns me. “Baby, what’s going on? How do you know my sister? I’m lost here, you have to help me.” Closing my eyes my heart is breaking this is going to be the end of us- I know this.
“Corvin, your sister is my enemy. She has tried to ruin my business over and over. I’m going to crush her in this industry. She has messed with the wrong woman.”
Looking into his face I see him processing what I’m saying I’m going to lose him I know it and feel it. “Baby, let’s talk about this. I’m sure you and my sister can get along and work together.”
I know Jenson is standing beside me now he has come for me like he always does.
“Corvin, I will never work with your sister. She is a fucking little bitch who has set out to ruin my life.” With that I turn to Jenson who helps me into his car. When I glance back, Corvin is standing there with a look that has me losing my breath.
“Ok, Elle. What’s going on? Corvin looks devastated and you’re an absolute mess.”
“Jen, you won’t even believe this, his sister is Emmelia Langston. She was late for dinner tonight when she showed up. Oh god, it was bad. She caused a scene and I got the hell out of there and texted you. My life has totally taken a turn for the worst. I love him so much and I’m going to lose him. Not only has that bitch tried to ruin my business, she going to ruin my love life.” Lying back on the headrest I close my eyes. God my heart feels like it’s being ripped out of my chest. I need time to process what has happened to me tonight how this day started out amazing ended like this.
“Elle, were here. Do you want me to come up with you? I really don’t think you should be home alone. I’m worried about you.”
“Jenson I love you, but I need fucking peace and quiet tonight. Not sure I can even talk.” Kissing Jen on the cheek I make my way inside. Jesse the concierge waves at me. Making my way to the elevator I feel my body start to shake.
As soon as I reach the penthouse door I fumble for my keys feeling my body will shut down at any moment. Opening the door I’m greeted by Sebastion. Dropping my keys and bag I scoop him up my beautiful boy, kissing him on the head as I place him on the bed.
As I walk to the bathroom I drop my clothes on floor, making my way to shower turning it on hot. Stepping in I let the water run down my body as I realize I have lost the man I love. Sliding down the wall my sobs take me over hugging my knees to my chest. I’m broken. The pain is too much to bare feeling as if my soul has been ripped away from me. I have never felt this alone in my life.
I hear the door open then there he is crouched down in front of me taking my face in his hands. “Elle, my love, we will figure this out, but there is no way I am letting you out of my life. Do you understand? You are mine!”
Taking me in his arms, he stands. I feel my back against the wall as he takes my mouth in the most amazing kiss. Our tongues touch and we both moan at the same time. God it feels so good. I’m clawing at his back wanting more from him. Feeling my need I’m pushed against the wall.
“Lift your legs, baby. Wrap them around me and give yourself over.”
As I lift my legs around his waist I feel his cock beginning to swell. I begin grinding my pussy down being greedy because I need him now. He loves me being aggressive and we can’t get enough of each other. As I feel the tip of him stretching me I’m gasping for air. Oh shit, this feels so good. My hands are gripping his shoulders as we start to move. The faster we go has us both panting. You can hear the sound of our wet skin slapping and our moans. I feel my orgasm take over and this has me screaming out I love you. Something fierce takes a hold of him and his thrusts have me calling out his name. I feel his body tighten up knowing he’s almost there. I take his mouth in a scorching kiss. As he slowly releases my legs I place them on the floor resting my head on his shoulder. I breathe him in- my rock. Kissing my forehead he wraps his arms around me making me feel safe, protected from the outside world. Washing me, then himself he shuts off the shower. Drying us both off with such care I have tears in my eyes again leaning in to kiss them away he lift me in his arms. Carrying me to the bed he gently lays me down climbing in behind me pulling me into his arms. Kissing my neck he whispers “Sleep, my love. I’m not going anywhere. We will figure this out.” As I drift off to sleep I listen to the man I loves heartbeat. Yes, we will have a lot to work through.
Chapter Nine
Waking up beside Corvin was truly a miracle. I’m not sure how we will work through this, but knowing we have too.
“Elle, I don’t want to leave you this morning, but I have to be in New York for the pre-season football show.”
“Corvin, I will be fine. We will work through everything when you get home.” When he pulls me into his arms, the kiss he gives me leaves me breathless.
Walking into the office this morning has me semi reflecting on yesterday. My, what one day can do. As I step into my office I see Jenson standing by my desk with a look of shock on his face.
“I know you're surprised I’m here. Well, Corvin showed up last night. Now while we have a lot to work out, I hope and pray we will be ok.”
“Elle, I’m happy for you. I was so worried that this would break you. I honestly think Corvin and you are meant for each other. If anyone can find a solution to all of this it’s you.” As Jenson leaves my office I sit down to look over all my upcoming projects.
When I hear the intercom buzz, I don’t know how much time has passed, lost in my world of fabrics and color swatches.
“Mr. Paul is here to see you.”
How I could have forgotten the meeting with the private investigator is beyond me. I’m so nervous of what I will actually find out. As my door opens he walks in with a smile on his face, so I’m assuming that he has something on her that is damning.
“Good morning, Mr. Paul. I totally forgot our meeting today. I’ve had a stressful couple of days.” Taking a seat across from my desk he gets out a file and passes to me. My hands are shaking as I take it from him.
“Would you like to go over the information together? I must say I was surprised what my investigation uncovered.”
“That’s ok Mr. Paul, I would like to go over it in private. Thank you so much for doing this for me.”
As he leaves my office I sit there slowly opening the file I’m in shock what I see before me. This is what I need to make sure Emmelia Langston never works again. All the information I need is staring me in my face. Just then my cell phone dings.
Corbin: Hi baby, just boarding the plane. I love you and will see you tomorrow. You are my world. C xo
Just then I’m faced with the reality of things. If I use this information I can break Emmelia. With that comes the chance of losing Corvin in the process- something I can’t chance doing. Closing the file I unlock my bottom drawer placing it in there for safe keeping. As I turn the lock and sit back nothing can jeopardize my relationship. I’m not ready to give this file up just yet though.
