His Stand In (8 page)

“
Because I’ve always seen past the here and now. The moment you walked in my office I knew you were someone I had to have.” He rose and came to her. Once again, his lips covered hers, this time devouring them.

Christian’s hand trailed the small of the back and then back up it. She’d neglected to put on her t-shirt after the swim to allow her suit to dry. With a slight tug, he freed the knot, and her full breasts sprang free.

His mouth left her lips yearning for more as he went to her mounds.

“
Ah,” a gasp escaped her lips.

Christian’s tongue slowly glided across one then the other, before returning back to the first and covering the nipple with the warmth of his mouth. Egypt arched her back, welcoming the pleasure.

Large hands trembling ever so slightly moved the damp material of her bikini bottoms to the side. He grazed a finger along her slit and back up brushing against her clit. Her legs threatened to buckle, and she grabbed his shoulders for support.

“
Oh, Christian.” She sighed.

“
You are so hot and wet. I have to taste you.” He knelt down in front of her.

His hot breath went against crotch. All thought was lost when his tongue grazed against the damp material still covering her clit. This far exceeded any of her fantasies.

“
Raise your leg and put your foot on my shoulder. You can lean back against the rock for support,” he said, his voice vibrating against her nectar.

He lifted her leg and placed it on his shoulder before moving her bikini covering his target to the side. She braced herself against the hardened rock. The rough edges pressed into the sensitive flesh of her back, but any discomfort was soon replaced with pleasure. The feel of Christian’s tongue licking the length of her wet mound took over every brain cell. All thoughts were replaced with what he was doing to her body and the havoc he caused.

“
Oh,” she groaned as a fresh rush of moisture left her center.

“
That’s it. Come for me.”

He flicked her clit with the tip of his tongue, and her body jerked as his lips locked around the swollen flesh and sucked it into his mouth. Her breath came out in short gasps. Her breasts throbbed in need. Slowly, he released her and licked the sensitive nub before lifting his gaze to meet hers.

“
Tell me what you want me to do.” He pushed one long finger into her moist opening.

Another flick of the tip of his tongue landed against her clit. Her legs shook. A groan of pleasure escaped her parted lips. Her insides were on fire, and the only person who could extinguish the flames toyed with her. Another finger slid in, joining the first. Her hungry walls closed around him, sucking him deep into her moist heat. Oh God, she needed more. She needed to feel the length of his dick inside her.

“
Christian, please,” she begged.

“
I love it when you call my name, but I love it more when you talk dirty to me. Tell me!” He thrust both fingers deep inside, rocking them against her g-spot.

Her hips moved up and down against them. Oh, they felt so good, but it still wasn’t enough.

“
I want to feel you inside of me.” Her voice was barely above a whisper as she gazed down upon him. His eyes were slits of burning desire. “I want you to fill me like only you can.”

“
You always know the right things to say,” he words were husky in the night air.

The smile he gave her brought an answering one to her own lips while she slowly dragged her tongue along them. Her body tightened in anticipation. When his lower form pressed close to her heat, she wrapped her legs around him, hoping to pull him into her moisture. She rocked her hips forward and felt the tip of his dick enter her. A groan of pleasure escaped her parted lips.

“
Tell your husband you want him to fuck you,” he murmured against her.

“
Yes,” came her throaty reply. “Stick your dick in me and take me.” Pleasure coursed through her when he moved an inch of his hardened length into her. She wanted to scream for him to just do it already. Push his hard rod inside her. “When I look into those green eyes of yours, I see a man who makes me want him like no other man has ever done.”

He thrust in another inch.

“
I want you to scream my name when you come.” He pulled almost completely out of her then thrust back in deep, making connection with her back wall.

Egypt gasped for air as his first thrust was quickly followed by another and another, each one filled with determination to make her forget any man before him.

“
Oh…I’m so close,” she managed to say through puffs of air.

Christian lifted her legs onto his shoulders and repositioned himself. At this angle, she detected every thick inch of him filling her. Her juices ran down between the crease of her ass. Her muscles clenched around him as he withdrew out of her depths and then in again.

“
Oh, I’m gonna come.” The tension built in her stomach.

“
Me too,” he panted next to her ear.

Her body tensed around him while her orgasm came over her.

“
Oh, Christian.” He moved faster and harder into her.

“
Oh,” he groaned.

His body made short deliberate thrusts into hers as he joined her in climax.

Egypt closed her eyes, wrapped her arms around his sweaty body, and held him close. The scent of his cologne still lingered, now mixing with the smells of sex and the ocean breeze. He lay behind her. His heartbeat coursed through her body, matching her rhythm as it slowed. Their lullaby the soft sounds of waves sweeping up onto beach, they drifted off, and not waking until the sun once again peeked over the horizon.

Chapter Nine

The smile on Egypt’s face when she walked into the building one week later was brighter than any she’d ever donned. They had spent the majority of the honeymoon inside the hotel room and when they came up for air the love making continued in secluded areas on the beach. A flush of heat burned her face as she recalled how much attention he’d given her. She didn’t think there was a spot on her body that had been left undiscovered. His hands and tongue had ensured of that.

Egypt stepped out of the elevator and headed for her office. A smile was plastered to her face as she passed everyone in the hall. Was it her or were they purposely avoiding eye contact? She shook it off as she continued to her office.

The marketing supervisor, Jessica neared her and dropped her head. It was obvious to Egypt she was only pretending to check her phone. After all the display hadn’t lit up.

“
Good Morning Jessica,” Egypt greeted her and was prepared to continue on.

The woman responded with a slight chuckle.

Egypt stopped in her tracks and turned around. “Everything okay this morning?”

She knew they really hadn’t a chance to get to know each other since they started but they’d always been friendly in passing.

“
Everything’s just fine Ms. James…I mean Mrs. Bradley.” Jessica smirked.

Egypt frowned as a sinking feeling set it. Now that she’d married the boss people were showing their true colors. This didn’t sit well with her at all. “Jessica, just because Christian and I are married doesn’t change anything.”

“
If you say so.” The woman shrugged her shoulders but a hint of amusement still lingered behind her lips.

“
Egypt,” a voice said from behind.

She glanced over her shoulder to see Ramona standing in the doorway to her office.

She rang her hands together as she spoke. “Can I please speak to you for a moment?”

Egypt started to protest and finish setting Jessica straight but the pleading in Ramona’s eyes told her this was important.

“
Sure.” Egypt followed her inside. “What’s this all about?”

“
Please take a seat.”

Egypt debated. Sitting in one of the chairs the opposite of Ramona’s desk would appear as if Ramona were her superior and that simply wasn’t the case. The only person higher than Egypt was Christian, and with their commencement she surmised that was even debatable.

“
No thank you. I’ll stand.”

“
Suit yourself.” Ramona clicked on the flat screen display. “I take it you haven’t seen today’s celebrity hot topic.” She let out a sigh.

A feeling of apprehension caused a knot to form in the pit of Egypt’s stomach.

“
No, should I care?”

Before the woman could respond the commentator spoke and flashed a picture on the screen. “What’s going on?” The images on the monitor couldn’t be right.

“
I think you need to sit down.”

Egypt instantly fell into her chair but her eyes remained glued to the T.V. Her fully nude body was on display while in the hotel room. The angle of the picture caught her perfectly as she stepped out of the bathroom, just before allowing Christian to have his way with her. Another image flashed and it was of her being hosted on the large rock by Christian. The look on her face was full of passion as she glanced over his shoulder.

Her stomach bottomed out. Their honeymoon had made the top news story. She anticipated the wedding but not this. She shook her head as if doing so would make the images go away.

“
I’m so sorry to be the one to show you but I thought you should know.” Ramona’s eyes darted from the screen to Egypt.

The room felt like the Vortex ride at a carnival. It started to spin and pick up speed. Egypt dropped her head into her hands. Everything was a mess. The marriage wasn’t even real and now she was front page news like one of the Kardashians. Before she had time to get a grip that this was her new reality her phone rang.

Egypt pulled it from her purse and looked at the name. As if things couldn’t get worse.

Ramona must have seen the look of despair on Egypt’s face because she backed up to her own office door. “I’ll give you a moment.” She stepped out and closed it behind her.

Egypt was left alone to face the music.

Trembling fingers pushed the green headset icon on the phone. “Hello,” her voice reverted to that of a teen as she answered.

“
Egypt Denise James,” came her mother’s reply.

She swallowed hard. This is not how she anticipated her morning going.

“
What the hell is going on Egypt?”

Egypt glanced out the window. They were up thirty flights. If she jumped out the fall would kill her on impact, right?

“
I take it you saw the news?”

“
Hump I saw it and heard about it from all my friends. Who the hell is this man? And more importantly why didn’t you tell me? Why in Jesus name must I hear of my daughter getting married to some white man from someone else?”

Great maybe she hadn’t see the photos.

“
Married and now you doing porn? I didn’t raise you like this.”

“
Mom, it’s not porn,” she croaked out.

“
My child is naked on T.V. what else do you call it? Do I need to worry about some sex tape now? I know David did you wrong, but this.” Egypt had no doubt her mother was clutching the two inch gold cross on her necklace she always wore.

Egypt’s decision on not informing her mother was coming back to bite her. It wasn’t that she didn’t want her family to know, but more so of not really wanting to lie to them. Telling them would get them all involved in the farce. She couldn’t do that to the warm and kind parents who raised her.

As her mother continued fussing she knew her dad would remain the silent man he was. He was probably sitting out in the garden tending to the vegetables while leaving his wife to have her say in the matter. Her father rarely got into what he deemed “womanly” matters.

What could she say? Her head was about to explode. So many thoughts. Confusion. It all pressed down on her. She couldn't do this right now. She needed to talk to Christian.
