happened?”
“Don’t you have work to do?” I snapped. “I know I do.”
“Why won’t you tell me?” Sean said. “We’re both going through a hard time with the divorce. It’s okay to be upset.”
“Being married has made you incredibly soft. If I wanted to have girl talk, I’d get my nails done and spill my heart out to the nail lady. Now get the hell out of my office.”
Sean sighed in defeat. “I’m here for you if you need to talk.”
“Or I can just watch The View.”
“Stop being a jackass to me. I’m your damn brother.”
“By definition, I’m supposed to be a jackass to you. Now get out of my face.”
There was a knock on the door then Laura walked in, wearing a pencil skirt and a nice blouse. You would never suspect she was a stripper by a mere glance. And a damn good one too.
“I have the designs for you,” she said.
Sean eyed her then turned back to me. “Since when did Laura start working here?”
I kept Laura’s secret from everyone, including my brother and sister. “She needed a j ob so I gave her one.”
“But isn’t that…awkward?” He whispered so only I could here.
“I’m a mature adult and I can handle my personal life. Now go.”
Sean glared at me then walked out.
When the door shut, Laura approached my desk. She sauntered to me, swaying her hips. “There was something you didn’t mention last night.”
“What was that?” I leaned back in my chair and gave her an intense look.
“You didn’t say if you’d be interested in fooling around again.”
“No, I didn’t.”
She sat at the edge of my desk and crossed her legs. “So, are you?”
I eyed her legs then returned her look. “I like fucking women who are good. And you’re pretty damn good.” She rode me last night, fucking me just the way I liked. I didn’t have to take control like I usually did.
She smirked. “You want to do it again?”
“How about tonight before I hit the sack?”
“Sounds good.”
“And remember what I said.”
“Don’t expect to spend the night,” she said quickly. “I get it, Mike. You and I are a lot alike.”
“You’re okay with being used?”
“Aren’t you?” she countered.
“I’ve been used my entire life,” I said bitterly. “No one has ever loved me and I know they never will.”
Her eyes softened. “You know that isn’t true.”
“Yes, it is,” I snapped. “And I’m fine with it. Why are you?”
She shrugged. “I guess I haven’t found someone who I didn’t want to be used by.”
“Man, we’re both fucked up in the head, aren’t we?”
“Probably.” She smiled then walked out. “See you tonight.”
“I look forward to it.”

Sean
I was determined to get my wife pregnant, and I knew the best way to do that was to have sex with her as much as possible. It was a win-win. If Scarlet thought I was being too obsessive, I could blame it on the baby.
When I got home, I was annoyed to find Janice there. I’d been thinking about what position to take my wife in for the entire ride home. I wanted to ta ke her from behind, but I also wanted to have her in the shower….the possibilities were endless.
And to seem them drinking wine on the couch was frustrating.
I gave her a kiss then snatched the wine away. “You shouldn’t be drinking that.”
Scarlet looked like I slapped her. “Excuse me?”
“We’re trying to have a baby,” I snapped. “You could already be pregnant.”
“I didn’t get pregnant that quickly, but you’re right, I shouldn’t be drinking.” She eyed her glass then turned back to me. “Aren’t you going to say hello to our guest?”
“Hi, Janice,” I said quickly. “Baby, come upstairs with me really quick.”
Scarlet rolled her eyes. “We can have sex when Janice leaves.”
“Thanks for being discreet about it…” Janice downed half her glass.
“Or we could have sex now and after…” I suggested
Scarlet gave me a firm look. “Sean, no.”
Like a dog that’d been
