"C'mon it's getting late,you always slow gaddamn it"Atticus scowls at Lucinda who is getting ready in her room as he waits in the car. Lucinda and Atticus are just living like total strangers because their marriage is just a contract marriage that came through because Atticus was to get a wife in order to secure the company his father left behind .
Later Lucinda comes out wearing a long crimson dress which exposed her curvy body. And without looking, Atticus starts driving the car to the event.
The silence in the car is so uncomfortable and the only thing you can hear is the hooting of the cars and maybe some people doing their jobs. Later they reach at the event and now they have to put on that husband and wife mask .
Atticus opens the car door for Lucinda as they fake smile to cameras who calls them perfect couple,but are they really perfect couple.They exchange forced smiles and cold pleasantries,posing for photos while masking the tension between them.
"This is so annoying and uncomfortable" Lucinda mutters
"Did you say something?"Atticus asks
"No I didn't" Lucinda coldly answers him.
They start interacting with other high profiled people as Lucinda feels at ease for a second, forgetting everything about the forced marriage. Atticus notices how Lucinda barely looks at him,how her touch and smile is merely for the show. She plays her role flawlessly ,but he wonders if she,too,have someone else warming her bed when he is not around and messing with his mistress.
Atticus immediately receives a text "I'M WAITING, DON'T KEEP ME WAITING BABY" it's from his mistress Maya Carter.
His pulse immediately quicken,as he still looks at his innocent wife interacting with others. He immediately goes to Lucinda and whispers to her ear "I've just got a call from my office ,hope you'll just drive home, I'll see you there" Lucinda who doesn't even care just nods her head with approval which makes Atticus heart ache by that behavior. But he immediately leaves to go to meet his mistress Maya.
He steps outside his chauffeur ,which was already waiting ,he drives to the penthouse his mind already running wild with Maya's thoughts and what he is going to do with her.
He later reaches and with his spare key he opens the door and rushes to the bedroom finding Maya already waiting,draped with nothing but her black lingerie and a knowing smirk on her face .
"You kept me waiting" she says with a sly smirk.
"I'm sorry I had to convince,my alleged wife and also traffic "
Without asking much Atticus pushes Maya on the wall as she help him undress and having passionate kiss. Atticus breaks the kiss and start peppering her jawline,and nibbling her ears as he now carries her to bed .
"You so beautiful,I can't control myself around you"
"Tell me Atticus...... does she makes you feel like this?"
"No ,only you "
Maya kneels now sucking his dick as he moans and groan louder.
"Yes baby do it like that,yes, that's good,Yes,ah,ah, fuck... a ....a..... I'm cumming fuck....yes continue like that ..... yes baby......ah....ah .....ah .....I can't......I can't.....ah yes"He immediately cums into her mouth.
"That tastes good" Marsha says wiping her mouth and Atticus immediately pushes her on bed again hovering over her.
He immediately start sucking and nibbling her nipples and with other free hand fingering her as she moans loudly.
"I love hearing those sounds sweetheart,"Atticus says with lustful voice
"Fuck I feel good,yes daddy.....yes ...like that ah....ah ......"
"I wanna taste you "He says while moving down to her clit as he starts to suck her making her moan and shaking a bit.
"Did you take the pill" Atticus asks
"Yes I did "
"Then , no condom today, just raw ,me and you "
Atticus says immediately inserting his dick in her as she lets out a loud moan.
"yes like that,I want you to scream my name, you sound good,you feel good,so tight and wet baby " he says pushing more roughly and fasten his pace.
He hold her hair as he thrust in her and kissing her roughly almost painful.
"I'm in control here here princess "
"I'm cumming "Maya says as she moans louder.
"Cum for me ,I want to see that pretty face while cumming "
With final thrust both of them cums and Atticus collapses on top of her his body still tensing.
After the intense love making they lay entangled in satin sheet. Ivan feels guilty about the situation but brushes it away.Maya runs her fingers down his chest and with playful and something deeper tone she says
" One day, you'll have to choose"
Atticus exhales and looks at the ceiling ,he doesn't have an answer . Because choosing between duty and desire is more dangerous more than he ever imagined.
Back at home,Lucinda is more worried about the whereabouts of Atticus when finally Atticus enters the room his eyes avoiding her gaze.
"Why are you not asleep yet" he asks coldly but something else in his voice.
"I couldn't sleep when I was sick and worried about you"Lucinda angrily replies to him.
"Why even wait for me? I'm not a child ,you should just do your job and I do mine, after all......."he stops
"After all what?.... after all you don't love me,this is just a contract marriage and it's not gonna last that long right?" Lucinda asks in a hurt voice.
"That's not what I meant Lucinda"he says wanting to touch her but immediately drops his hand.
"Then what? you lied to me that you were going to your office,but fuck I went there but you were not,are you having another person?" she sadly says.
"Are you now accusing me of cheating now,I was with my business associates,I'm not lying "Atticus says but still feeling guilty.
The tension in the room is so uncomfortable as Lucinda immediately climbs the bed and drift to sleep. Atticus looks at her with sympathy and something else in his eyes. He knows what he is doing is not fair to her. But she won't allow him explain it to her. He also goes to bed and drifts to sleep.
