Chapter 43: This Isn't Happening

Brent

I don't hear the door or Linda immediately. My desire for Vanessa is just too great. I more than need her--I must have her again.

Her soft lips feel so good against mine. I deepen the kiss, my erection quickly growing.

Vanessa pulls away from me as if someone has yanked her away. I open my eyes, wondering what happened.

Linda.

Vanessa waves her hands as she speaks, "I'm not going to be a part of this, Brent."

"A part of what?" I squint.

"You and her," she says, backing out the door.

"Vanessa," I call her.

She keeps going.

When I take a step, Linda blocks my path.

I explode, "What is your problem? I've let you retain your job even though you did something very inappropriate--"

"Brent," Linda interrupts, "can I speak to you for a moment?"

I look past her. No, I need to catch up with Vanessa. She's pregnant and emotional.
