“Then it’s settled,” Bryan smiled. “I’ll tell her to expect you in the morning.”
Claire ran back to her room, excited about getting out of the house. She rummaged through her wardrobe for something to wear and came up blank. But a few hours later, a couple of boxes of professional outfits arrived from one of the most fashionable boutiques in town. She went to find Bryan in his office wearing one of the jackets from the boxes.
“Bryan, I can’t accept these. It’s too much.” As she spoke the words, her hands caressed the soft jacket she wore.
“Do you always return gifts?” he asked teasingly. “Fortunately for you, I am not in the habit of taking them back.” He winked at her and went upstairs in the direction of his room.
Claire wanted to ask him what he meant but smiled as she realized he was talking about the emerald necklace Chance had sent her in St. Lucia. Chance must have told him about it. She wanted to tell Bryan she hadn’t returned it. The emerald necklace lay buried in her jewelry box, a symbol for how deep she had to bury her need for Chance.
The following day, Claire drove to the office as directed by Bryan and found the CEO happily waiting for her. After some general introductions, she was asked her opinion concerning the décor for a new office space the company had purchased. Claire showed off her expertise, and before the end of the day, she was handed the assignment and given full authority over the alterations she thought necessary. When the day was over, she left the office eager to share her experience with her mom or Chance. As soon as she got home, she went straight to find her mother.
“Hi, Claire. How was your first day?” Willow asked.
“Great. Got hired on the spot and already have a few assignments to complete.”
“That’s great! Bryan and I were hoping you’d like it.”
“He’s nice,” Claire said, referring to Bryan. “I’m glad you’re happy with him.”
“Yes, I am, Claire. He’s made me so happy.”
At that moment, Claire felt terrible about sneaking behind her mother’s back with Chance. Sneaking around was the only way they were going to be together, and she was okay with that, at least for now.

She was so immersed with work over the following days that she hardly missed Chance until he cornered her one morning in her room before she left for work.
“Hey, sis,” he said. “Where are you off to?”
“Work, Chance,” she said as she slipped on her stilettos.
“May I see you later? I can’t believe I have to make an appointment to be with you,” he said.
“Maybe, but I have a dinner meeting.”
“So when, then?” he persisted.
“Chance, you’ve been ignoring me. Why do you need me all of a sudden?”
“Has it come to this?” he asked and walked to her. He backed her into a corner, and as much as Claire tried, she couldn’t get around him.
“Chance, you are going to make me late,” she said, glancing at the clock on the other side of the room.
“Better late than never,” he said with a mischievous grin.
“Chance, this is a bad time,” she said as she flattened her palms against his chest and tried to force him away.
“Just let me give you something,” he told her and kissed her.
Her voice was muffled against his lips; he clamped down on her lips swiftly. She used what little energy she had against him, but she was no match for a tame Chance, much less an aroused Chance. Eventually she stopped wriggling and relaxed into his kisses. Claire could tell he was determined to take her. Something about the way he displayed forceful aggression always turned Claire on, and this time was no exception. She was ravaged with need.
She shoved him on the bed. She straddled him, yanked his sweat pants below his waist, and let his cock out. She gripped it in her right hand, hoisted her body, and drove him deep inside her. Chance’s eyes rolled back as Claire sank down on him. He gripped her hips and hoisted his, and in that position he penetrated her warm pussy slowly at first, then faster and with more urgency and need. Claire pressed down hard on his chest and gyrated as he pressed further and further into her, and just as quickly as they had started, she could feel her juices building like a tidal wave. She flooded him with her orgasm. He groaned and muttered something inaudible before she felt him sink his fingers into her hips as he came into her.
She didn’t linger afterwards. She quickly got up and straightened her skirt. “Look what you did to my makeup,” she smiled.
“Claire, are you ready?” she heard Willow call from the hall.
Claire’s eyes widened as she looked at a half-naked Chance lying on her bed. “Quick! Get up!” she urged. He yanked his pants to his waist and rushed around looking for somewhere to hide, but before he could, Willow walked in.
“Hey, Chance.” She looked suspiciously from one to the other.
“Hi, Willow,” Chance said.
“Mom,” Claire said. “Do you need me?”
“I haven’t seen you in a while. Came to see if you wanted to ride into town with me.”
