[The Shifters Committee 01.0] Time Shifters

by Rebecca Foxx

  The jewelry that he was showcasing was a rare black diamond, and he was saying how one could have the jewel itself, or even different items made with the jewel. All of this seemed so interesting and riveting to her, and after a while, she realized three hours had passed.

  “Shit, I didn’t mean to stay so late,” she said with a blush.

  “It’s fine by me. I like talking with you. You’re an interesting one, totally riveting. Maybe we can get some food? Since we did work a bit late,” he told her.

  She thought about it. Was it okay to let this man in so fast? It was different, that’s for sure, but she couldn’t help but agree to that.

  “I would love it,” she replied.

  They got their things together, and he called his limo, and soon, Vivian was with him. Little did she know though, that this would be the start of a crazy adventure, and a new set of feelings that would only grow stronger with time within her.

  Chapter Two

  They got to the place, a fancy steakhouse, and when they got there, they were seated at a table. The place wasn’t too busy, mainly because the other people had come in early, and now it was nearly ten. But for Vivian, she looked excited.

  “It had been a while since I had been to one of these,” she admitted.

  “Well I’m glad I’ll get to treat you then. I like you, and you seem very riveting,” he told her.

  She blushed. “I’m not all that great. I just run my company, and I’m one of the biggest advertising firms in the city,” she told him.

  “I know. That’s why I sought you out. When I ran into you at that party, there was something about you that I just couldn’t resist. You were intriguing, engaging, and most of all, I liked the way you looked. You weren’t like the prissy little models that get thrown onto me time and time again, but instead, I feel like you care about more than just the shallow appearances,” he told her.

  She nodded. “You hit the nail on the head. I can’t date most men because all they think about are curves, and they don’t understand that I’m a bit demanding. The people I work with are terrified of me, mainly because I am so good at what I do, and I’m a good person. I’ve worked hard to get to where I was, and I know that it’s going to still take effort to do this,” she told him.

  “You’re right. I know that it is a part of you, and I enjoy it. I’ve worked hard too, and I have to say, you’re kind of the type of person I want to be,” he told her.

  She blushed. “I didn’t know I was so inspirational,” she chirped.

  “You really are. I mean, it’s not every day that a woman like you knows exactly what she wants, when she wants it, and I can have a conversation with someone about the future options of my company without things getting weird.

  The others that I’ve talked to have been nothing but trouble, because they always are thinking with my looks, and thinking how attractive I am. I’m a mogul and a billionaire for a reason. I actually worked for my status, and I know that it’s not easy for some to realize that,” he told her.

  She nodded in agreement. “I feel you on that. I mean, I’m a black woman, and everyone knows that it’s hard for a woman like me to have respect. But I worked at it, and I earned it, and now, I want to continue to reach new heights,” she said to him.

  He pushed his hand out, grasping hers softly. She immediately stiffened, and that’s when he looked at her once again. “Well, you have someone on your side now who wants to see you do well, and that’s’ me,” he said with a smile.

  Vivian felt her heart race. This was the first time that someone actually understood the challenge that she was. She was a hard worker, and she wouldn’t have a whole lot of time for a relationship, but in a way, that didn’t scare this man off.

  Rather, it made him want her more.

  They talked a bit more, and for the first time ever, Vivian felt happy around a guy. She had been on dates time and time again, but most of the men only liked her because of her exotic looks and her curvy body. But for this guy, it seemed that he was more interested in the conversation than anything.

  They walked about work, but also about the choices they’ve made in the past, and the future that they want to have with one another. She actually felt for the first time that there was a chance with this guy, that it wasn’t just some short in the dark like with other guys that she would date.

  They talked late into the night, and after they finished dinner, they went to his place. It was a penthouse suite apartment, and wen Vivian got here, she looked at it with shock on her face.

  “Holy shit this place is huge,” she said.

  “It is. But I do keep it tidy myself, and I try to make it seem less intimidating. I mean, I am a billionaire, but I’m not an asshole like some,” he told her.

  She laughed at that. He did read her mind in a sense. When they got inside, she looked at Chad, and for a moment, her heart stopped.

  “This is nice,” she said.

  “It is. To be honest, you’re the first woman I’ve brought here who hadn’t been trying to tear off my clothes in the elevator,” he said.

  She blushed. “well it’s not like I don’t want to,” she said.

  “I feel the same. I like you a lot, and I’m surprised at how different you are than I expected. I mean, I know we’ll have to keep this a secret right now, because you know how interracial relations are seen in the media and the advertising world,” he told her.

  She nodded, a small grimace ghosting over her face. She knew exactly what it was like. So many would ask, so many would judge her, but deep down, she wondered if they could have that at some point.

  “Well, when the time is right, maybe we can be out there with how we feel,” she said.

  “Indeed. But for now, I have to say that I’ve never felt so strongly for a woman ever,” he told her.

  It didn’t take long for what happened next. He stepped over, pushing Vivian against the doorway, kissing her with a lustful passion that she never felt before. She immediately kissed him back, melting against the soft touches of his lips, and deep down, she knew now more than ever that she wanted this, that she was ready to take a chance to be with this man, and that nothing would ever be the same again.

  Chapter Three

  The kiss was a bit different from what she expected, and soon, she started to kiss him back, letting her lips dominate his. The thing with many men, was that she was a dominant woman, a wild one who was rarely on bottom despite her thicker, curvier frame. Most men would just let her take control, but tonight, that wasn’t the case. Chad sensed this, and soon, he pushed harder against her lips, letting his hips grind against her own as he fought her for utter dominance.

  This was new.

  Vivian couldn’t help but relish in these feelings as he continued to let his tongue battle with her own. It felt so good, the pleasure so strong that she couldn’t help but want more of this. It was definitely was one of the best thing she had ever felt, and soon, he started to push his tongue into her mouth, letting it mingle with hers in a wanton, passionate manner.

  He then led her over to the bedroom, pushing her down on the bed and still kissing her with a rough, dominant mixture of tongue and lips. She moaned, her pussy wet with desire and her lips forming sounds that no other man had made her make. He then started to move his lips down her neck, lightly kissing and touching over the soft flesh.

  He bit down on one of the spots, leaving a small mark there and making her groan out with need and pleasure. She wanted more of this, and soon, he started to lick and tease a trail up her neck to the edge of her ear, lightly nibbling on the soft area and making her moan with need and pleasure.

  He then moved back down, biting onto the skin under her collared shirt. He did so harder, and soon, a small, purple bruise ghosted over the area. She blushed, realizing that this mark would be there, and she would have to hide it. She didn’t mind that she would have to, but she knew that this meant something more than she expected.

  He then started to move
to her shirt, deftly undoing the buttons on the top and taking her jacket off. He did the same thing, tossing it to the side. She realized that he was a bit messy for a billionaire, but at the same time, the utter need that she felt within her was getting stronger with every passing minute, her body craving more of the man’s touch.

  He started to move his hands up to her bra-clad breasts, lightly kneading and teasing them with subtle strokes. She moaned, bucking her hips and grinding against his body. He then started to pepper kisses down the edges of her luscious breasts before he moved his hand to the back of the clasp, undoing it and letting the garment fall off her body.

  She immediately gaped at the sudden exposure, feeling self-conscious about this. He started to move his finger up to one of the breasts, touching and teasing them softly. She moaned, feeling her body tense up and her hips buck with need. He let his hand dangle and tease against the areola before he moved it against the tip of the nipple, letting his fingers just graze over the area.

  He then moved his mouth over to one of the other nipples, letting his tongue move against the area to create the hardened bud, and then he moved his lips against the tip of it, flicking against the edge of it and then moving her tongued in a skillful manner.

  He started to move a bit faster before he sucked on the bud, and when he did that, Vivian moaned. This man knew exactly how to take charge, how to make her go crazy with lust and need, and how to make her feel good. No other man had made her feel the things that she felt, and it was certainly something magical. He continued this for a little bit before he started to suck on them fervently, and he let his other hand pinch and twist against the nipples.

  She was already getting there, and he could see it. After teasing her once more by grinding his hips against her own, he then moved his hands down to her pants, undoing them and letting them slide off to reveal her thick, curvy legs and her wet pussy. She blushed, and soon, he started to move his fingers against the edge of her pussy, teasing and touching over the subtle folds.

  It was obvious that she was already going insane with need and pleasure, and soon, he started to push it in deeper and deeper, loving the way her warm cunt knew exactly how to take him in. He started to brush his finger against the tip of her walls before he started to move against it faster and faster, inserting another finger into the fray. He continued to graze over the area, and soon, he moved his hands away, undoing his pants and sliding them off to reveal his hard member.

  It was throbbing with need and want, and soon, she felt a flush graze over her body. He then started to move his cock to her entrance, making no stops when it came to sliding in. she felt him penetrate her, filling her up and making her go insane with want and need. She could already feel her hips bucking and her pussy throbbing with desire as he started to move deeper and deeper within her, waiting a moment before he started to thrust in and out.

  His thrusts were fast and punctual, wasting no time to get into her. However, he also angled his hips as well, and when he moved into her, she felt him touch that sweet spot once again, pushing against her body and loving the way that she reacted. She was moaning, and while he did that he pushed his lips against one of her nipples, sucking on it fervently while he continued to move his hips in and out of her. He continued this for a while, not stopping at all, and once he pushed against her once more, she knew it was over.

  She came hard, her body tensing up and her hips bucking with desire. She loved the way that this felt, and when she released, she felt a wave of pleasure that hadn’t been there in the past. At that same moment, he tensed up as well, groaning with wanton need as he came hard, filling her up with his seed.

  He pulled out, and the two of them looked at one another, their breaths catching and their bodies satisfied.

  “Well that was amazing,” she said pointedly.

  “It was. I’m glad I was able to satisfy you,” he admitted.

  She nodded. “You sure did, and I can’t wait to do this again,” she replied.

  He nodded. “If we do though, we’re going to have to keep this under wraps. I don’t want people to know about us,” he told her.

  She nodded. The last thing that she wanted was for a scandal to happen, for them to both be exposed because of what they did. They both didn’t need the scandal, that’s for sure.

  “You’re right. We’ll keep this just between us right now,” she told him.

  “Good. I want it to be that way too,” he said.

  The two of them kissed one another and curled up to one another in the bed. The plush covers felt amazing, and for Vivian, this was the best thing in the world. Of course something did feel off, but she didn’t want to worry about it. Right now, their secret relationship would be just what it is now, a secret. It would be taboo if they both were in a relationship, not just because of the way they look, but also the work that they’re doing and the collaboration. Maybe once it was over they could tell everyone, but for now, they would have to keep this secret affair what it is, a true-blue secret.

  But within Vivian was a change, a change that even she didn’t know about just yet, and one that she wouldn’t know about for a long time, but it would be a secret that would prove to change their relationship drastically, and one that would be the deciding factor on the fat of their future careers as well as the relationship they strived to have.

  Chapter Four

  For Vivian, everything seemed to be going okay. Chad and her saw each other from time to time, but they didn’t make any note of it. She knew that if they did, both of their relationships could be tarnished. She didn’t know if he would be okay with ever coming forward, but she could only hope for the best.

  That’s when it happened. Vivian started to feel sick one day during a meeting, and she had to get up. One of the other people she was working with looked at her funny, but she smiled sheepishly.

  “Sorry, I’ve just got some stomach pains,” she told them.

  “That’s fine,” the man said.

  She blushed heading to the bathroom to retch. What was going on? Why was she feeling this way? This was the third time in a week she had puked, and it was obvious that something was wrong, very wrong.

  Then, the cravings happened. Vivian thought it was weird she wanted a peanut butter pickle at first, but then she dismissed their thoughts, trying to assume that it was maybe just her imagination. But then, it happened again, and that’s when the red flag started to appear in her mind.

  “Is there something wrong with me?” she asked herself. She thought that she was going insane, but when she thought more about it, there was that nagging feeling that maybe, just maybe, she might be pregnant. At first, she dismissed it, but then, when stuff started going wrong again and again, she sighed.

  “There’s no way I can ignore this shit,” she muttered to herself.

  Despite the fact that she didn’t want to, she grabbed a pregnancy test, popping it open and taking it. It couldn’t be that, could it?

  But then, the telltale sign appeared, like a beacon in front of her. The line was apparent, and when she saw it, she nearly fainted.

  “Holy shit, I’m pregnant,” she said.

  The problem however, was who the father was. Chad didn’t want them to be public, and she knew that telling him would make things weird. But Vivian didn’t want to raise the child alone, but she didn’t want to mess up their futures either. Fi word got out that they were seeing each other, she didn’t want to imagine the stock she would lose and the other problems that would come about.

  “Fuck, I don’t know what to do,” she muttered to herself.

  The only thing to do was to wait for the answer. She went about her daily business, not telling Chad about what had happened, because it would only get worse. About a month had passed, and Vivian made sure not to get too close, for she didn’t want things to get ruined. But then, she knew that there was no way she could hide it, and Chad was starting to see it as well.

  About a day or so later, she saw Chad waiting fo
r her at the front of her office. She walked over there, a small flush present on her face and he body trying to suck in the small pouch that had started to form a little bit. She was gaining weight already because of the pregnancy, and she hoped to god that he couldn’t see it.

  Too late. Chad glanced at her, wondering what was happening.

  “Hey, are you okay?” he asked.

  She tried to turn away, but she could feel the icy gaze fixed on him.

  “I’ve been better,” she muttered.

  “What’s wrong?” he asked.

  She paused, wondering if she should tell him. There was a lot at risk already, and she didn’t want to put him in any danger with the reveal. She knew that the whole world would probably either love or hate this, and she knew that she would probably lose a lot of respect if she did tell others.
