SCARLET
So this was what it was all about.
We were not enemies in our past lives.
This woman has something for Devan.
That’s why she hated me from the second her eyes landed on me.
Those glares she was giving me?
It all makes sense now.
I almost laugh when I remember there’s a gun in my bag and she just said Devan used to do that to her too.
Does that mean she and Devan were actually a couple?
And why does the thought of Devan doing something sweet to her suddenly send a dull ache to my heart?
I’m not supposed to be jealous because there’s the no strings attached rule, but the feeling doesn’t sit well with me.
What if she’s just saying things to get a reaction?
But I didn’t show her the gun.
She knew it was there.
Which means, Devan and her were close.
Argh.
The dull ache again.
“Oh, he didn’t tell you?” She says, fake sympathy written all over her face.
It tempts me to take the gun from my bag.
“I’m Devan Galloway’s greatest love and everyone knows that. No matter what, we’ll always find a way back to each other. Why do you think everyone was surprised when he introduced you as his wife?”
“Oh,” I cross my arms.
“The crazy ex who never accepts that the man has moved on? I pity you,” I counter, picking up my bag to hightail the hell out of this place.
I’m not ready for this kind of drama.
She grabs my arm before I walk away.
“It’s Sonia by the way. And no, I’m not the crazy ex. I’m the woman you’re going to respect. Because I can make your fake marriage end with a snap of my fingers.”
I shove her hands off me.
“Then snap your fingers.”
And then I walk away.
What the hell was that?
And why didn’t Devan warn me his ex would be here?
Or maybe she isn’t his ex.
She was just trying to get to me, right?
I’m not l even done with Devan for putting a gun in my bag.
I make a mental note to scold him for that.
He knew I was going to the bathroom with that red head…Sonia.
Okay maybe I’ll scold him just a little.
But who am I kidding?
I married a mafia king.
A gun is like a water bottle to them.
You carry it anywhere and everywhere.
I get back to the boardroom where I find Matias giving a speech.
Reading something from a paper to be precise.
I look at Devan who smiles at me mischievously.
I want to take a seat as far away from him because he “forgot” to mention something to me, but Sonia walks in.
If I sat away from Devan, it would give Sonia satisfaction.
It would only mean her words got to me.
I can’t believe I’m doing this.
I get right back on Devan’s lap, and he holds me still and then pulls me closer.
This is so satisfying.
I give Sonia a glance and she smirks.
Two can play this game.
“Did you get the lipstick?” Devan whispers.
“Oh, yes I did. Such a huge lipstick,” I whisper back.
“Really? I’d love to give you something bigger.”
I got myself into that one.
Now I can’t help but blush.
The temptation to grind on his dick is getting harder to resist.
Do you know what else is getting harder?
I can feel it.
It makes my pussy throb.
And the thought of it sliding inside me makes me want to throw my head back and moan.
I fight the urge, but it feels like a full time job.
“What do you think, Devan?” The question snaps me from my stupor.
What the hell, Scarlet?
It was just a dirty comment, and my mind had to go to all sorts of inappropriate places.
“While we’re at it, I’d like to know everyone’s whereabouts, yesterday at 6pm,” Devan says, in a very serious tone.
You wouldn’t know he was the same person making me grind on him just a few seconds ago. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
Did I mention how hot he looks when he’s in charge?
It makes me picture him giving me instructions in the bedroom.
Asking me to bend over as he slides his hard cock inside me.
What the fuck, Scarlet?
Focus.
“Matias will collect the data, right now,” Devan proceeds.
“Right now?” One middle aged man complains.
“I think there’s a pandemic of impaired hearing in this room. Next time I’ll call a doctor. Oh wait…I already did that. My wife is a doctor.”
“Speaking of which, baby girl…”
Baby girl.
Devan surely has a way or two with the way he says those sweet names.
I don’t know if it’s his tone, his sexy voice, or it’s just him.
But it goes straight to my heart.
“I haven’t introduced you to the men behind the fight for my seat.”
He goes on to introduce everyone at the table, including his idiot friend, Matias.
“You don’t have to cram their names, it’s not important,” he concludes.
In the end I only get to remember, Leo is the bald one, and the wise one is Luka.
The females however, I know Sonia, of course.
The blondes are introduced as Susan and Robin.
They are married to the men whose names I can’t remember.
And then the black haired one, Viviana, is married to the annoying bald man.
Got it.
“While we’re still on the topic of introduction, I have a burning question,” Sonia speaks up.
Oh crap.
I know some crap is going to come off that mouth.
“I was wondering, why was Scarlet wedding someone else yesterday?
Why would she walk down the aisle to someone else when she’s married to you, Devan?
Oh shit.
Right, I’m trending.
That bride of the century crap?
All attention is on Sonia now.
I should have used that gun in the bathroom.
She won’t shut up.
“Why is everyone looking at me like I have a horn? I can’t believe you guys live under a rock. Scarlet Miller is the bride of the century,” she breaks the news to the old geezers.
