Alaine's POV
I barely slept last night, I know I started the stupid game but I had to prove my point, for all my plus size sisters out there and for me as well.
I almost gave in, I almost let my desires take over. The way he kissed me, the way he held me, the way he lifted me up the kitchen island, oh Lord made me think of his strong arms. It was so hard not to notice his hard rock erection and I wanted him so bad, and to add salt to injury, its been long since a man touched me, I'm basically sexually frustrated, the last time I got intimate with anyone was about 3 years ago when I lost my virginity to my ex boyfriend, Kyle.
I kept tossing and turning, trying to reminiscent last night's almost telenovela sex scene and thinking of it made me so wet I had to take a cold shower, twice.

Flashback
"Eric, stop" I plead. But he keeps going, kissing my  neck and collarbone as he cups my boobs into his right hand and squeezes gently as a let out a soft moan.
"Eric please". I plead again.

" Your mouth is telling me one thing but your body is telling me another Alaine".

And I decide to blurt out the first thing that comes to mind, "I'm in my periods".
He pauses and looks at me with a ' I know you lying' look and I push him slightly to get myself off the island top. As I try to leave, he grabs me from behind, with his hands around my waist, he kisses my nape, neck and shoulders softly and whispers, " Two and play this game Alaine". I pull myself from his grasp and walk away as fast as my feet could take me
I couldn't help but be furious at myself, I thought I had this, I gotta pull my socks, cause this momma ain't gonna lose, not so easily.

I gotta get ready for work but I don't want to run into him this morning. Oh Lord, let him be gone. I dress up and go downstairs walking like I'm in some spy movie trying not to get caught snooping around. When I get downstairs, I peep around and don't see anyone, I head to the kitchen, peep again and seems the coast is clear and I sigh in relief, "phew thank God". I say out loudly.
" Hope you slept well, 'wife'". I'm startled by his voice as I turn around seeing him by the Pantry.
"Slept like a princess, thank you, I thought you'd be at work. Aren't you late?" Trying to diffuse the awkward situation.
"I'm the boss, I can roll in anytime I want". He replied.

" We'll, I'm late and I got a few errands to run, so see you around". As I quickly run out the kitchen for the door.

I'm out the door and my uber is late, he walks past me and I see him smirk, as his driver opens the car door for him to enter and they drive off. "What an ass, he can't even offer me a ride, I know I got an uber but would it hurt to ask?" I think to myself. A minute later, my uber arrives and I'm off downtown for work.

I'm, in my office going through the plans for the partnership with Archer hotels and I here a knock on the door.
"Come in".

" Morning boss". My assistant Sarah Jennings greets me with my morning coffee.

"Morning, Sarah. Thanks for the Coffee".

" I see the deal is getting along fine"

"Yeah, seems that way for now". As she hands me an invitation card.

" Thank you Sarah, you may leave". I open the fancy looking envelope and read it's contents.

I call my assistant, "Sarah, please RSVP this invitation before I forget". Yeah, I'm not so into parties and events, I always forget so I have to RSVP as soon as I get invites and well this I wasn't planning on missing.

I decide to leave work early and go home. I wish I could call my friends and hang out but I got few friends in my inner circle. Hailee is in Canada, miles away. Elsie, well married with two kids, I barely get to see her plus she moved to New Jersey and then there's Charlotte who's always busy being an awesome cop. So yeah, home it is.
I'm dropped off and I see Eric's car, he's definitely back early and I see his driver Dominic.
" Hey Dom, how's it going?" I ask.
"All good Ms Stone". he replied.
" Oh, Alaine will do just fine. Your back early? " trying to pry for information.
"Yes, the boss said he had a few things in his study he wanted to take care of but we'll soon be leaving again".

" Alright then, take care Dom". As I walk to the door.

I walk to my room, and since I'm home early with nothing much to do I decide to take a swim. I wear my green one piece swimsuit with a zipper just in case u wanna show show cleaveage.

I tie my hair into a bun, grab a kimono and head for the pool.
I jump into the pool with my hands up and knees bent, reminds me of my childhood when we'd go as a family to the community pool to swim. I swim a few laps and decide to get out of the water. As I walk out, I see him gazing at me and I couldn't help but stare back at him. I smirk and walk to get my towel, "Wanna join, 'dear husband'?" I ask him.
"You wish". He shrugs.
" The pool is big enough for the two of us, I shouldn't stop you from swimming if you want to". Of course knowing he won't.
"I'm heading out, so don't wait up". As he turns around and leaves.
I wasn't planning on waiting up anyways.
