Discovered by Kim Black Page B

appeared in the foyer. He was fully dressed in his sexy blue pin striped suit and matching tie, the same suit I had ordered him out of a little over twelve hours ago. God he’s sexy!
    “Hello,” he began, as he walked over to Diana, extending his hand to her. “I believe we met briefly the other night. Nice to meet you,” he said while flashing the sexiest smile I think I’d ever seen.
    “ No, you met Suzie, we didn’t speak,” Diana retorted, taking his hand. She gave him a look of pure disgust which caused me to roll my eyes at her. Having friends that care is so annoying sometimes but I had to admit that if the shoe was on the other foot, I would have behaved just the same.
    “Well , I’m leaving. I can see that you have some things to discuss…” He turned to face me and continued, “So Emily, can I call you later so we can finish our discussion?” He sounded very business-like but I guessed that he was doing that for my benefit, not wanting me to feel embarrassed that my friend was here while he was leaving my house at six thirty in the morning.
    “Yeah, call me after work,” I said as I followed him to the door. It was weird but I was sad that he was leaving, even though I knew that Diana wouldn’t leave until I explained everything to her. Still, a part of me wished he would stay. The man is a multi-billionaire Em, with a huge corporation to run. He can’t stay in your bed all day!
    When we made it to the door, he turned around slightly and kissed my cheek softly, “Please don’t disappear again, Mon amour .”
    “I’m sorry about that. I should have let you explain that day.”
    “No apologizes necessary just don’t t run away again!” He had a raw power in his tone and when he continued by saying, “I’ll call you later Ma belle ,” and planted a kiss on my forehead, it sent a shudder down my spine.
    I nodded and he rewarded me with his sexy smile before walking away. I stood there watching him as he headed to his black Bentley, trying to convince myself that I was just missing the sex with him but as he drove away, I realized that I just missed him. Crap!
    By the time I turned around, I found Diana standing in the middle of my living room with her arms folded across her chest. “Start explaining Em or I’m calling Suzie,” she threatened, knowing that Suzie was the last person I would want to speak to. Knowing Suzie, she would have punched Julien in the face on sight. The thought made me chuckle and shake my head. Damn friends…
    “Fine! But can I at least get a sip of my coffee first and an éclair?” I asked, gesturing to the lonely cup of Joe gracing my white wood kitchen island, my stomach growling as if on cue.
    She nodded her consent and I grabbed the cup off of the table and took a much needed sip, the first of many for the day I was sure. I pulled out two éclairs and stuffed them both into my mouth. The beautiful treat was nearly better than sex with Julien, nearly . I moaned with enjoyment.
    “Start talking Em, ” Diana screeched.
    I lifted my hand and pointed to my mouth, indicating that my mouth was full and to give me a minute. When I finished the éclairs, I took another swig of my coffee and walked right past Diana and headed to my bedroom, knowing she would follow. And she did.
    “So?” she asked as she entered my bedroom. She stood at the foot of my bed with her fisted hands placed firmly on her hips.
    I placed the coffee on my night stand and sat on the side of the bed . “His wife’s name is Charlette and she came by and explained everything. Apparently they got married because their parents pretty much pressured them into it. She claims that it’s only an arrangement, not a real marriage. Anyway, Julien came by my job to explain; apparently his wife hadn’t told him that she would speak to me. I’m not sure what happened, but after I spoke to Adam, I kind of just ended up inviting Julien over.”
    “Wait , what? Adam? When did you speak to Adam?”
