“Duh. If it was, you did a hell of a job.”
I spoke up, “Carter, it’s okay. We’re okay. Please understand we never meant for this to happen.”
“Cami, tell me the truth, do you love this dumbass?”
“I do.”
“Fine. You have to deal with Mom and Dad though. I am not calling them.”
“Carter, thank you!”
“Whatever, and Merritt?”
“Yeah man?”
“You owe me a god damned drink. You told me my sister was a good lay!”
Merritt and I both laughed. “Done,” he said into the phone. “But man we gotta go, my PR head is calling.”
“Yeah fine, later lovebirds.”
With a chuckle, I moved off his lap and sat down on the seat next to him. He switched the call.
“I’ve put you on speaker, Marissa. Camilla is here too. Anything new?”
“Actually, yes. We’ve just received a call from the police. They have found the culprit.”
Merritt and I glanced at each other in surprise. “They have?”
“Yes. The editor from the tabloid cracked and revealed the name of this person. They tracked the man and brought him to the police station. He admitted to all of it.”
“Thank God,” he muttered and took my hand in his, giving me a reassuring squeeze. “That’s great news. But who is he?”
“Apparently the new bill that you had just gotten onto the floor had made you some serious enemies, Merritt. According to the investigator, the man said his business was suffering from the stricter regulations. He wanted revenge, so he stalked you for quite some time, trying to dig up anything he could use against you. So when Camilla entered the picture, it was the perfect opportunity for him to act.”
I shuddered, and Merritt brought my hand to his lips to kiss it. I couldn’t believe someone could hate Merritt so much to drag me into all of that. He hacked my phone, for Christ’s sake! I didn’t even want to think what else he could have done if the police hadn’t found him.
“But why did he hack Camilla’s phone? Why did he sell them to the tabloid?”
“It seems that this man was hopeful that by the public seeing you dating an aide people would think less of you and your own party would turn on you. It was a possible outcome, however, it only backfired on him because just the opposite happened.”
Confusion settled on his face. “What do you mean?”
“Just before I called you, we received a call from the president Benner.” The president of Merritt’s party.
“Yes?”
“He told me that they aren’t turning on you. Not at all. Your party is actually congratulating you on settling down and turning off your whole Playboy persona.”
My jaw dropped, and I met his gaze. He was equally astonished.
“I can’t believe this,” he said. “Is this for real? They are actually approving of my relationship with Camilla?”
“Yes. President Benner said, and I quote, I wish them all the best and many, many more years together.”
Merritt shook his head, laughing. “That man. He always nagged to me about not settling down. I should have known this situation would be to his liking.”
“So, we can use this chance to turn this into your favor and tell the public that you’ve finally found the woman of your dreams.”
Merritt placed his hand on my cheek, gazing at me with adoration, and pecked a kiss on my forehead.
“We can do that.”
“How about that man?” I asked. “What is going to happen to him?”
“Since a high-profile politician is involved in this, he will be kept in custody until his trial without bail. I assume he will spend many years in prison even though he’s admitted to it.”
“That’s good to hear,” I said, feeling relieved.
“I’ll prepare the statements for you, Merritt,” Marissa said. “You’re probably going to have a few press conferences this week, but you know how this goes.”
“Yeah, I know. The public will be breathing down my neck the next few weeks, but everyone will forget this once the dust settles. It’s just the way it goes.”
“You know it. Then...”
Merritt raised his eyebrows. “Yes?”
“I just wanted to apologize to Camilla. It’s just that our public relations team thought it would be best for Merritt to break up with you, but we were wrong. I’m sorry for being rude to you this morning.”
The astonishment on Merritt’s face told me that he hadn’t expected something like this from her.
“That’s okay, Marissa,” I told her. “You were just doing what you thought was best for Merritt. I understand that.”
“Yeah. Well, okay then. Talk to you later, Merritt.”
“Bye, Marissa.”
“Bye,” I added before Merritt ended the call and looked at me.
“Are you okay?” he asked.
“Yeah. Sometimes it feels overwhelming thinking about the pressure that the famous people feel, but I guess that’s just a part of the baggage they have to carry as celebrities.”
“Which is why I will ask you this one more time. Are you sure you’re ready to be with me? To go through every storm and endure every obstacle?”
I returned his smile. “Of course. I’m ready to be with you no matter what. Because, after all, I fell in love with you. So I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
He beamed. “You fell in love with me?”
“Yes. Irrevocably,” I repeated his words.
“My Camilla.” He grabbed my cheeks. “You have no idea how happy I am with you.”
His lips were passionate on mine, taking all of me, just like I took all of him. All the worries from this day melted away, and joy spread through me. This mess was over, and we had each other. Now, more than ever, I wanted to fight for him and our happiness. We could do it. Together.
“Sir?” we heard the driver’s voice coming from the speaker. “We arrived at the police station.”
“Well, since they found the hacker, we don’t need to be here anymore,” he told me. “What do you think about some time alone?” He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively, and I erupted into a fit of chuckles.
“Sure. How about my place?”
He nodded. “William, turn the car and take Camilla and I back to her apartment.” He told him my address.
“Yes, sir.”
His lips landed on mine again, his hands tracing my waist. “Now this is just a prelude of what will happen later in your place,” he whispered into my ear and kissed it, his hand going under my skirt and cupping my pussy over my panties.

Camilla
On our way to my place, Merritt spoke with my boss and managed to explain the situation to him. Thankfully, my boss said he wouldn’t fire me, and the relief I felt was immense. We could stay together and our careers wouldn’t suffer. My mind was blown. How had we gotten so lucky?
After he ended the call, I borrowed his phone to call my mother, hoping I could get to explain the situation to her before she came across the article. I had no such luck because she had already seen it.
“Hey, Mom. It’s me,” I said when she answered the call.
“Oh my God! Please, tell me what on earth is going on? Kelly just showed me that tabloid, and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing! Is it true? Those photos… Are they real?”
I needed a few moments to recover from the torrent of her words, glancing at Merritt for support. As if he sensed what I needed, he took my hand and left a kiss on my skin. His eyes said, It’s going to be alright.
“Yes. They are real. And yes. I’m dating Merritt Dawson.”
“I told Kelly that couldn’t be true… Wow. Just wow. Why didn’t you tell me anything? I mean I wasn’t his biggest fan, but your father always liked him. And oh dear God, Carter. Have you spoken to him?”
“Because we wanted to keep it secret, you know. We thought that if we didn’t hide, our relationship would most likely d
amage our careers. So, I’m sorry, but I couldn’t tell you anything. And yes, Carter is… Well not happy for us, but he knows he can’t keep me in a cage. I mean we’ve barely hung out since I moved out here. Maybe this will all change that.”
“But then what about that article? How did they find it out?”
I sighed, a frown settling on my face. “A person who wanted to harm Merritt hacked my phone and sold those photos to that tabloid.”
“Jesus!”
“Don’t worry. The police already found that person, so everything is going to be alright. I’m just sorry that you had to see those photos and find out about Merritt and me in that way…”
“Please, honey, don’t even think like that. I just worry about you. To be hacked! I can’t even imagine. Are you alright? How are you holding up?”
My throat closed up at hearing the worry in her voice. There wasn’t even a bit of reproach in her words, and I wished I could see her and hug her, thankful for her support.
“I’m okay. I’m with Merritt now and we’re going through this together. It’s going to be tough these next few days because of the media, and they are probably going to call you and try to get some info, but just say that you don’t know anything and refuse to give further comments.”
“Of course. They won’t hear anything from me or your father. Did you tell Carter that too? Or I guess he already knows how this works. But what about your job? Is everything alright?”
“Yes. Luckily, the news didn’t have any negative effect on my or Merritt’s job.”
We talked a few minutes more, and she expressed her joy at my relationship with Merritt. She also said that she couldn’t wait to see him again, and I promised to her that Merritt and I would visit them soon. I even promised to drag Carter with us, he was going to murder me for that one.
When we arrived at my apartment, we opened a bottle of wine to celebrate, both of us wearing goofy smiles.
“It’s been a long day, and it’s not even noon,” he said, passing me a glass.
“True. I can only imagine how busy the next few days will be.” I took a sip of my wine and sat next to him on the couch.
“We’re going to go through it all together, so don’t worry about it.”
“I’m not worrying. At least we don’t have to hide anymore.”
“Exactly. Truth be told, I’m happy that our relationship is out in the open, because I was tired of hiding it. I wanted to hold you and show to the world you’re mine so many times, but I couldn’t lift a finger. Now, we don’t have to hide at all.”
“And now I don’t have to see all those beautiful secretaries putting their paws on you.”
His smile was devilish. “Jealous?”
“Very much. It feels good that they all now know you’re mine. So they better not try anything because they will have to deal with me.”
“You’re really feisty, you know that?” He smirked, putting his glass on the coffee table before he took mine and placed it next to his. “I just love that. And you are all mine.”
He leaned in and placed his hands on my waist, his lips landing on my neck. I moaned and pressed my fingers into his shoulders, pulling him closer to me.
“Yes, I’m all yours.”
He moved so that he was above me and pushed me to lie down, his body fully covering me. His lips were rough on mine, his tongue stroking me passionately, and I was all wet and needy for him. His hand moved from my waist to the waistband of my skirt and proceeded underneath it, reaching the edge of my panties.
“Damn. Look at you. Already so wet,” he said when his fingers pushed through my swollen folds and stopped at my entrance. I arched my back when he inserted two fingers into me, his lips tracing my jaw on their way to my ear. “Can you be more perfect?” he whispered and bit my earlobe.
“Ah, Merritt… That’s so good…”
His fingers curled inside of me, stimulating my G-spot, and the pleasure burst through me. I could feel my juices spilling out of me, ruining my panties. He increased his pace, his smile ravishing as he watched my reactions. I thrashed against him, panting heavily, approaching my orgasm. Several thrusts later, I screamed and bucked my hips, one of the most intense orgasms I had ever experienced washing all over me.
He removed his clothes, never taking his eyes off me.
“You’re beautiful,” he said, standing in front of me all naked and gorgeous. I slipped out of my jacket and unzipped my skirt, letting it drop to the ground. The next were my blouse and underwear, ending on the heap of our clothes on the floor.
“Now, it’s my turn,” I said and went down to my knees.
I wrapped my fingers around his thick shaft and took his sac into my other hand. He grunted and brought his hands to my head, his fingers lacing into my hair.
“Fuck,” he hissed when I ran my tongue over the tip of his cock, collecting a bead of precum that had poured out. I drew away to look at his impressive size, following his budging veins with my index finger. He was so sexy.
I returned my attention to his head, massaging his balls slowly. I was licking him up and down, then all around, feeding on his moans and raspy breaths. My pussy was throbbing, getting wetter and wetter. And then I took him into my mouth and started sucking him. His fingers pressed into my head, his breathing growing quicker.
He thrust into my mouth, unable to stay still anymore. He fucked my mouth while holding me in place, his eyes dark, so dark with passion.
“You’re good, Camilla. Too fucking good. Come here.”
He pulled me up to my feet and kissed me, sliding his hands down my ass and picking me up. I wound my legs around his waist, pressing my soaked pussy against his firm abs. Our kiss deepened, our hot bodies gluing to each other.
He took me to my bedroom and placed me down on my bed. He caged me in his arms when he lay on top of me and brought his lips to my shoulder, starting a series of open-mouthed kisses that ended on my breast. His mouth wrapped around my nipple, and he tugged at it, covering my pussy with his hand.
“From now on, I will have you like this every day. At my place, your place, or outside, I don’t care what it takes, but I’m going to take you whenever I want and however I want.”
His fervent promise added to my arousal, and I grew more impatient. I needed all of him. In every way.
“Kiss me there. Please. I need to have your mouth on my pussy.” I thrust my hips toward him, brushing my mound against his hard-on. With a growl, he went down and covered my clit with his mouth. “Yes… Ah, yes… Keep doing that… Oh God…”
He was sucking me gently, his fingers twisting my nipple in a way that doubled my pleasure. I was pure fire, climbing higher and higher as he increased his tempo. I grew louder, calling his name again and again, and a minute later, I was coming so hard that the flashes of white filled the edges of my vision.
I was still orgasming when he moved in between my thighs and sat on his hunches. He thrust into me, hitting my cervix, and a mixture of pain and pleasure exploded in me.
“Merritt!” I was hypersensitive now, so I felt this much stronger than usual.
He grabbed my ass and pulled me even closer to him, entering me so, so deep. My back arched, I grabbed the sheets and bit into my lip, returning his fiery gaze. His face was twisted in lust, his darkened eyes unblinking. I squeezed my inner muscles and got rewarded when he began moving harder and faster.
“Fuck me. You’re going to make me come if you keep doing that.”
“What?” I grinned. “This?” I squeezed him again, and he growled, bringing his arm around my waist and pulling me up to sit. Now I was straddling him, holding onto his shoulders for support as he drove hard into me.
“I’m going to come… Fuck!”
“Yes!” I screamed, feeling my own climax building fast.
“Camilla!” He pressed his lips against mine, and we came at the same time, holding each other tightly. His cock began twitching, filling me with warm seed, and it felt so good.
“That was amazing,” I said into his lips after a few moments, wrapping my arms around his waist, and placed my head on his shoulder. I never wanted to let go of him.
He held me in his embrace, still inside of me, drawing lazy circles on my back.
“I love you, Camilla,” he said after a minute.
A pang of sweetness hit my chest and spread through me. His words made me feel emotional. I wanted to cry from happiness.
“I love you too, Merritt. I’m so happy that I have you.”
“I know how you feel. I can’t believe I almost missed out on this. Between not noticing you as a kid, to all those times you said no, we almost didn’t make it.” He kissed the top of my head, caressing my back. I felt so good next to him like this, so comforted. “But now, even though we have to deal with this article, this is the start of something wonderful for both of us.”
“I agree. It just shows that even during difficult times, there can be a flicker of something positive. But we can use the most out of this situation to prepare ourselves for the future.” I nibbled his lips.
“With you, I’m sure everything is going to be great.”
I could feel him hardening inside of me, and I smirked at him, raising my eyebrow. “Already hard, Senator Dawson?”
“I’m always hard for you,” he replied and pushed into me, becoming fully rigid. I moaned, ready for more.
“Well, I guess we have to do something about it, then.” I clenched my inner muscles around him, taunting him.
“Fuck me, Merritt. Fuck me hard.”
In a second, I was pressed against the mattress with him above me and my legs draped over his shoulders. “You don’t have to tell me twice. I’ll always say yes to you.”

I felt the whisky burn as it travelled down my throat. I could still remember when Dad gave me my first taste. I was eleven years old. The juice of life, he’d said.
“You still thinking about that blond you banged yesterday?” Slade interrupted my thoughts, thumping my back; which nearly spilt the whisky out of the glass in my hand. Fucker.
