Scandal

  Addison

  Everyone was sitting around the table which had white linens and beautiful blush colored roses just like I asked.

  It was perfect, except that it wasn't.

  Cole stood up to give a speech and I could hardly look at him. But as soon as he sat back down and he took my hand within his I smiled affectionately and played my part. That's what I was here to do. Some soft music was playing in the background and while everyone was chatting and eating dessert Cole's uncle approached me.

  “Mind if I have a dance with the bride-to-be?”

  Cole nodded raising a glass to him and I took his hand as he walked me out onto what tomorrow would be our dance floor.

  “No one else is dancing.”

  “I kind of wanted it that way. I don't know what is going on between you and Cole, but I will give you the same advice that I gave him. Figure it out before you walk down that aisle tomorrow. Before you make a decision that will impact both of you for the rest of your lives.” He spun me out and pulled me back in close. I was happy no one else could hear our conversation.

  “What's that supposed to mean? Cole and I are fine. Just a little disagreement is all.”

  “I'm not sure that he sees it that way. You know the whole relationship is a little suspect now that I think about it. He had told me about you a couple months ago of course but I was surprised you agreed to marry him.”

  “Why is that?”

  “Because you're smart. You might even be smarter than him. And you look like a woman who takes her time in making a decision about something. Like you wouldn't do something just because it benefited you, and plan out your whole life around it. Cole isn't that way. He's impatient and stubborn and everything has to be done immediately when he's around. He doesn't think about the future, there is no long-term plan for him.”

  The song changed but it was still slow and smooth dinner music. “I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say.”

  “Addison, I have a pretty good idea of what's been really going on here and I can say with certainty that you are about to enter into an agreement that you may never be able to get out of. So run. Take your lovely little family and get out of town. You don't deserve to be put in this situation by my nephew. I can see that his pigheadedness has won out this time, but if you stay you're the only one who's going to lose.”

  I pulled away from him, my fabricated smile now completely disappeared. “Cole and I are fine. I appreciate your concern but I can tell you with great certainty you have no idea what the hell you're talking about. It will be quite easy to prove that to you tomorrow.”

  I stormed past him and walked directly out of the room. I continue to walk and until I found myself next to a pond where I sat down hoping to collect my thoughts. What a mess this all turned into. I watch the bubbling of the water as it rippled towards me and I put my fingertip down it to make a ripple back. It was like I was trying to stop the water from moving, almost like I was trying to stop my emotions from overtaking me. I heard someone come up behind me and I spun around to see Cole standing with his hands in his pockets looking both disappointed and inquisitive. Like he was lost.

  “What are you doing out here?”

  “I came to see you, obviously. What is going on, Addison? You’ve been avoiding me for almost a week. And then you go and have a dance with my uncle and suddenly your booking it out of the reception hall like nobody's business. Not really a great way to keep up a lie by the way.”

  I rolled my eyes and stood up facing him. “Do you think that's all I care about?”

  He shrugged looking defiantly back at me. “How the hell am I supposed to know what you care about Addison? You don't even speak to me! I imagine you're in this for the money at this point. You're certainly not in it for me.”

  “That's remarkable coming from you. You're a hypocrite, do you know that?”

  “Why am I the hypocrite?”

  “I saw you at work. The little blond nurse giving a back massage, it was disgusting Cole. I thought at least we were exclusive. I didn't think I would have to go through the next ninety days wondering who else you were sleeping with. Is that so crazy?”

  “Ashley? The nurse from work? When were you at work?”

  I threw my hands up in the air. “You don't even deny it! Jesus Cole!”

  “What is there to deny? She gave me a back rub, she is working on her physical therapy degree and has to do so many hours of massage. She goofed up her schedule and had to miss a massage appointment. I told her she rub my shoulders for thirty seconds and I would sign off saying that she did her whole hour. It was a joke between friends, I was just helping her out. Why didn't you ask me? Are you really that jealous?”

  I took a deep breath and crossed my arms. Was I really that jealous? Had I ever been jealous before? The truth was, probably not. I had never really gotten involved with anyone as seriously as I had been with Cole. There was no one before that I cared about.

  But jealousy be damned, I was still pissed. “I know about your past. I know that you were a player and that there was a good chance she was just a notch on your belt. But maybe I was too.”

  He set his lips into a thin line and didn't speak for a moment. The only thing I could hear was my own heart beating and the fountain bubbling behind me. Finally, he said, “Is that really what you think of me? Is that what you think about us?”

  “I don't know what to think,” I answered honestly.

  He ran his hands through his hair. “I think that I'm scared about tomorrow. But I have this overwhelming excitement too. I can't wait to see where our relationship goes. But I don't want you entering into this if that's what you think about me. Even if it may have been right at one point it hasn't been for the past month. The minute I met you everything changed. And I need you to recognize that. If you can't, then I don't think we should keep going.”

  My mouth dropped open. “You want to cancel the wedding?”

  “If that's what you think we should do.”

  I shook my head. Not only with that ruin his chances of getting his shares within his company but decimate my relationship with my family. We had to see this through. “No, I don't want to cancel. I want to see where this goes. To see what we can be. I think we owe each other that.”

  He moved closer to me so that our bodies were only inches apart. “I'm Cole,” he said as he shoved his hand into mine. “I'm a doctor at the local children's hospital and I like to make pancakes in the morning. I also have several outlets at my apartment and I love watching you wake up in the morning. When your hair is an unruly mess on your head and you throw on one of my shirts to cover up. Though most of the time I wish you wouldn't. Not because I mind sharing but because I don't ever want an obstructed view of those beautiful curves.”

  Blush grew up my cheeks as I began to frame out a response in my head but then I heard the wedding planner come up behind Cole. “We need you to back on the patio for the cocktail hour. You have gifts waiting for you! Let's get a few pictures before the guests want to retire for the evening. Chop chop lovebirds!”

  Cole took my hands and I dutifully followed him back towards the patio. I had been so quick to judge. We could have been enjoying this past week, taking in every moment but instead, I ruined it for us. But for now on anything Cole wanted over the next twenty-four hours would be his. That would be my response to his declaration of what could be love. I would make this wedding perfect for him.

  For us.

  Cole

  Cameras flashed around us as I held Addison’s waist. The professional photographer got all of his shots, but Addison’s family wanted a couple too, and I wasn’t about to say no.

  “I love that dress by the way,” I whispered in her ear as her parents walked away. Her mom took a couple shots with her phone.

  She smiled at me, and my cock grew a few inches larger. Dammit. I shifted on my feet and brought my attention back to the wedding planner. I just
wanted to slide my hands over her gorgeous ass in that satin and make her wet for me.

  “Dr. Brennan?”

  I couldn’t wait for our honeymoon. I would have her all for myself and I could do all those things I... “Dr. Brennan?” I winced and looked at our planner. She was looking at me with her raised eyebrows, wondering why I wasn’t paying any attention to what she’d been saying.

  “I’m sorry,” I muttered and forced myself to focus on here and now. I looked at Addison again and winked at her. She giggled.

  “As I said, I think it would be perfect for you two to kiss right now.”

  I raised one eyebrow. Maybe I missed something, but I had no idea why she was asking us to kiss. I was sure that if I kissed Addison now I wouldn’t be able to keep my hands off her. “Why?”

  “For the pictures, this is the same light you’ll be in tomorrow evening, so this is an excellent practice opportunity.” The way she said it sounded like we were making a business deal here.

  “Are we practicing kissing too?” I joked and glanced at Addison. She looked like she was about to burst into laughter, but she was restraining herself. I winked at her again.

  “Cole,” my uncle said in a scolding tone. “Get serious.”

  I sighed and nodded at him. “Okay. We’ll kiss.”

  Our planner smiled. “Great. Now stand here.” She pointed her finger at some spot in front of her and I almost snorted. She was seriously planning everything—even these tiny details that were completely insignificant to me, but for some reason, she found them really important. Seriously, did it matter where we kissed? All that mattered was that we were going to get married, and I wanted nothing more but to make Addison the happiest woman alive.

  I came to the spot she’d pointed at and took a hold of Addison’s hand when she approached me.

  “Excellent. Now kiss.” I couldn’t help but grin, amused with her enthusiasm. She was really into her job.

  My eyes were fixed on Addison’s when I leaned in to kiss her, already forgetting about my uncle, her family, and the planner watching us. Initially, I planned to kiss her lightly, only pressing my lips against hers, but the moment we kissed, I’d completely forgotten about everything and deepened our kiss.

  This whole week had been a nightmare. But the way she was kissing me I knew I was forgiven.

  Note to self: fiancées don’t like when you touch other girls, even innocently.

  Our tongues met, and my cock was now in full erection. I had to step closer to Addison to hide it, but now she could feel it pressing against her stomach, and it made her let out a small moan. I moved my hands from her shoulder to her cheeks and angled her head so I could deepen our kiss even further. I wanted her so badly. I couldn’t stop kissing her, only able to focus on how good she made me feel.

  My whole body was hot now, and I knew there was no way I could wait until we got home. I needed to fuck her right now.

  “Khm,” I heard my uncle clear his throat, trying to get our attention, but I didn’t care. I didn’t let Addison step away as I moved my lips hungrily against hers. Her breasts were pressed against my chest and all I wanted was to lower my head and please each nipple with my mouth...

  “Dr. Brennan, that’s good, we can move on now,” the planner said, but I still couldn’t let Addison go. She was trembling, and since she wasn't wearing any bra, I felt her hard nipples pressing against me. I groaned, already wanting her badly.

  “Cole! Get a hold of yourself!” my uncle exclaimed, finally bringing me back to reality, and I broke our kiss. We were panting, looking at each other with raw desire, and I couldn’t concentrate on anything but the throbbing in my dick. I needed my release as soon as possible.

  “Sorry,” I said and smirked at him. “We were just practicing our wedding night kiss.” I winked at the planner and watched with amusement her cheeks growing red.

  “I think we need a fifteen-minute break. Okay?” she said, obviously eager to escape our tension, and I finally let myself laugh.

  “Sure. Take your time.” This was perfect. I could use this to be with Addison.

  “Cole, you better clear your head before we continue. You are an adult, so behave like one!” my uncle said and marched off with the planner. Oh, I definitely intended to “clear my head”.

  I laughed again. He’d said that I should behave like an adult. Well, I’d certainly been behaving like one now. Kids didn’t kiss like I’d just kissed Addison.

  Addison giggled. “What was that now?”

  “A prelude into this. Come,” I said and took her by hand, leading her back into the mansion and into the coat closet in the hallway.

  “What are you doing?” Addison asked me in surprise, still giggling.

  “You’re so hot in that dress, and when I kissed you just now I knew I wouldn’t be able to resist you anymore. I need to fuck you.” I opened the door and entered into a small space half-filled with coats and jackets, pulling her inside with me. I pressed the light switch on and closed the door behind her.

  “But our families! And your uncle is up to something. What if he catches us?”

  I pressed her against the wall and buried my head into her neck. “Who cares about him? I can make my own decisions. Besides, do you think he would come to search for us in the coat closet?” I moved my lips over her soft skin, causing her to shiver and moan.

  “He would hear us.”

  I raised my head and looked at her playfully. “Not if you keep quiet.” I brushed my lips against the earlobe and darted my tongue out to lick it. She whimpered.

  “That would be impossible.”

  I chuckled. “Just try. Consider it a new challenge for you.”

  I slid my hands over her arms and reached the straps of her dress. “But we have only fifteen minutes, Cole.”

  I looked her in the eyes and bit her lower lip. She was already flushed and breathing hard. “Fifteen minutes is enough to say I’m sorry.” I moved the straps off her shoulders and lowered her dress to her waist. “If I didn’t know you better, I would think I wasn’t forgiven.”

  I jiggled her breasts and slid my tongue over her hard nipple. She moaned and pressed herself against me. Then she took my hand and led me under her dress and over her panties. She pressed my fingers there, and I groaned when I felt she was already completely wet for me. “Do you think I would soak my undies like this if you weren’t forgiven?” she asked teasingly. I rubbed her swollen pussy over her panties, sucking her nipple at the same time.

  She pressed the back of her hand against her mouth so she would keep quiet, but she couldn’t stop moaning. Just the thought that I would get to fuck her right here, while we were hiding under my uncle’s nose, made me horny as fuck, and my precum started oozing out of my cock.

  “Try to be as quiet as possible if you don’t want us to be interrupted by my uncle,” I whispered into her ear and brought my hand to her pussy again.

  I smeared her wetness all around her entrance. She was dripping wet, which enabled me to enter her sharply and fill her completely at once.

  “Cole, yes,” she cried out a bit too loudly, and I smirked. The possibility of getting caught made me even more aroused, and now my cock was pulsating hard in her warm, slick hole.

  I brought my hand around her neck and held her firmly in place. “Quiet,” I ordered and started moving in her. I held her hip tightly with my other hand, pushing her against me each time I entered her. “Your pussy is made for me, baby. God, I missed you this week.”

  “Yes. It feels so good...” she moaned and clamped her hand over her mouth.

  I was pounding her hard, enjoying the sounds of our bodies hitting and her pussy gushing. I felt her juices trickling over my balls and to the floor, and I could already smell the scent of our sex in the air. If only they knew what Addison and I were doing here...

  “Cole, I’ll come...” I sensed her insides clench around me and her breathing became shallow. “I’m so close...”

  “Cole? Addison? Where
are you?” I heard my uncle calling us from somewhere near, and this just made everything even better.

  “Oh no,” Addison gasped and looked at me over her shoulder in worry, as if she wasn’t sure we should continue or not, but I couldn’t care less. I continued fucking her, now even faster, and I could feel she was really close now. “No, Cole... We can’t... I can’t...” I fucked her so fast now, not stopping for a second, and heard my uncle say, “Cole, where did you go?” He was so close to the closet, probably ten feet away, and Addison tried to push me off her, but I grabbed her around her waist with one arm and squeezed her hip I’d been holding on with the other, not letting her move.

  “Come now,” I ordered her, barely able to catch my breath since I was thrusting into her fast and wild.

  “No... I-I... Cole...,” she cried out and bit into her wrist, orgasming hard against my cock. Her whole body convulsed and her limbs twitched through the highest point of her orgasm, and this just pushed me right into my own orgasm.

  “What was that?” my uncle said and I heard his footsteps approaching just as I spurted my seed into Addison, filling her tight pussy to the point of overflowing.

  I stilled completely and breathed heavily into her shoulder, holding her firmly against me.

  We stood like that for several moments, trying to catch our breath as we waited for my uncle’s next action.

  “I guess they aren’t here,” he finally said and walked away.

  “Oh my God. Cole,” Addison said in awe and turned her head to look at me. “This... I’ve never experienced something like this in my life.”

  I smiled and kissed her lips. I couldn’t bring myself to get out of her, already missing her pussy.

  “You’re so ridiculous!” she said. “Right under your uncle’s nose!”

  “What are you complaining about? You’ve just been properly fucked.”

  “More than properly.”

  I caught her head in my hands and kissed her again. “I love you,” I whispered to the most beautiful and amazing woman I’d ever met.
