A/N I posted this in Wits months ago and have been thinking about it lately so decided to continue on! This is totally an A/U story about Dante and Lulu's love!

IN ANOTHER'S EYES

Ch. 1

"I can make it there, I can make it there" She said through her tears. She still couldn't believe the fight with her husband escalated so fast, all she knew was she couldn't go back there tonight. She could understand that he was angry because she had been spending a lot of time at work lately, but it wasn't the work he was worried about.

Lulu Quartermaine pulled up to her best friend Siobhan's house and barely turned the car off before racing to the front door. Part of her didn't understand why she was there, because her heart knew where she would rather be. The house that had the man she loved in it, that's where she wanted to be knocking.

"Lulu, what are you doing here? Oh my gosh, are you okay? Why are you crying?" Siobhan was so confused she had no idea what to ask first. This was lulu, her best friend. The girl that has been married to the most perfect husband that ever existed for almost 4 years. Sure they married young and had little issues here and there, but Lulu and Dillon didn't fight like this.

"I'm so sorry Siobhan, I know it's late but I have no other place to go! Dillon and I got in this HUGE fight and I just can't stay there and listen to him yell at me anymore tonight!" She stated in between sobs.

"It's totally fine girl, come on in and we can make some tea and talk about it." Siobhan said as she hugged her. She was glad Lulu chose to come over, partly because they've been friends for years and it just seemed natural to turn to each other but also partly because she had a stinking hunch this had something to do with this dreamy Italian lulu has become close with at work.

"Are you awake?" Dante whispered to his wife. He didn't think she was awake, but he had to make sure. He had just seen his phone light up telling him he received a text and it was killing him. He knew she'd text him if things got bad with her husband tonight. Why didn't he just sleep with his phone in his hand? He had to know what she needed.

Dante didn't hear anything coming from the other side of the bed so he quietly got up, replacing the comforter around his wife so she wouldn't feel the difference of him not lying next to her.

On my way to Siobhan's house read the text he couldn't wait to reply to. He needed to find a way to get to her. Suddenly the heart of the woman lying three feet from where he stood didn't matter. Although he knew that was wrong, he couldn't help it. He needed to get to Lulu. As soon as he hit the hallway, his finger was on that call button.

"Are you okay?" he asks as soon as she picked up.

"I'm okay." She says solemnly. She knew she shouldn't answer this call. Only bad things could come from hearing his tender voice in her time of need, especially when this whole fight has to do with him.

"Baby, you don't sound okay…why are you at Siobhan's, what did Dillon do to get you so upset?" Dante knew the answer to that. They've known the answer to that for two months now. Dillon knew about them, everyone was beginning to find out.

"Dante, I want to see you… I need to feel your arms around me" she whispered so Siobhan couldn't hear from the kitchen.

"You know I want that too, but I don't think I can sneak out tonight. Are you staying there tonight? Do you want me to pick you up for work in the morning?" Dante asked desperately hoping she'd say yes. Although he knew it was risky for them to show up at the office together, he didn't care. All that mattered to him was being able to touch her milky skin. To tell her that someday all of their constant guilt and worry they felt for being together would be over and soon they'd be able to celebrate their love in public.

Lulu hung up the phone with a new batch of tears shining in her eyes as Siobhan walked back into the room with her steaming cup of cinnamon tea and a bud light for Lulu.

"You know me so well!" She joked to her friend.

"Okay Lulu, spill it! What happened between you and Dillon, did something happen between you and Dante? No, WHEN did Dillon find out about you and Dante?"

"You think you have it all figured out don't you Siobhan? For your information nothing happened between me and Dante …. Not today at least "Lulu knew she had to tell her best friend about the affair, but first she wanted to relive it in her head. The day her life changed forever.

Flashback
It started out as a normal workday at ELQ Enterprises where she had worked for the past four years. When her and Dillon got married they decided she'd come to work for the business as well, so she'd be a part of things when they inherited the company. Now all of that didn't seem to matter at all, because this normal work day would soon turn into the best and worst day of her life. For the past six months she'd been getting to know Dante, the new executive marketing rep that had transferred in from New York City and she had to admit not only is he drop dead gorgeous but when he speaks to her, her knees become weak. This morning was no different, after their initial "Good Mornings", she found herself trying to come up with an excuse to get him alone. Lulu knew he was feeling the same lightning bolts of sexual tension when their fingers would touch while handing over papers or arms grazed each other passing by. She had to know if it was all in her head, because if it wasn't this could turn out to be quite a year. However, she didn't have long to worry about that because as soon as he closed the door to her office, his face was two inches from hers and he was asking her if there was anything he could help her out with.

Maybe it was fate, it could've been lust but it was for sure hot. The next thing she knew they were up against the bookshelf with their lips pressed against each other. Her first instinct was to freeze, but soon after that she was more than a willing participant. She slid her tongue against his luscious lips enough for him to realize she wanted to deepen the kiss. He suddenly turned into an octopus like creature with hands that were touching everywhere. They started at her face, cupping it like she was a fragile tea cup, then moved swiftly to her ass where they kneaded, grabbed and pulled every which way. Lulu knew she should stop; she should pull away and do the right thing. This was her husband's family business and here she was having the best make out session of her life.

The next thing she remembers hearing was Dante asking if she was okay, does she want him to stop? It wasn't until she heard herself tell him that he better not stop that she realized this was going to happen. Lulu ran over to the door, pulled the blinds shut and then grabbed Dante by the tie and drug him to the couch that was so conveniently close to where they were standing. She kicked off her shoes, began to unbutton his shirt all the while granting his tongue entrance into her mouth. Dante flipped her around and pulled her down on top of him on the couch as her hips began to grind into his groin. Lulu discarded her skirt, shirt, panties and bra so fast that Dante didn't know what hit him, so he followed suit and soon they were lying on the couch in nothing but each other's beauty. Lulu reached over to her desk and grabbed a condom out of the bottom drawer where she and Dillon keep their stash for crazy lunch hours sometimes. As she was doing this, it occurred to her that she should probably feel worse about what was happening than she did. All she cared about right now was the Italian stallion that she was now putting the condom on. He looked at her like she was the most beautiful creature on the planet and that alone made her completely wet. She was going to mount him and start going but as soon as she realized how large he was, she pulled his arm and got underneath. This was all him, she was eager to find out just how he was going to fit that monument into her. His tip entered her and she let out a gasp and she had to adjust herself to his size. He began to rock little by little into her and at the moment she realized the rest of her life she'd never be satisfied by another man, not even her husband. As he was pumping into her, he was placing sweet hurried kisses along her jaw line and ending on her lips. Their tongues danced together as their breathing became labored. She began to whimper high pitched squeals and that made him to want go deeper, and quicker. Lulu dug her nails into his back as she started to feel him hit her favorite spot.

"Oh my god, Lulu you are amazing! I can't go on anymore, but I want to stay inside you forever!" Dante was getting close to his release and she felt the same.

"Dante, f*ck me! Don't stop, please don't stop!" Lulu whispered into his hair, but a little too late because right when she said that they both exploded into euphoria.
END FLASHBACK

As Lulu sat on her friends couch remembering the night it all started so many months ago, she still had no regrets. She knew to the outside observer she was the bad guy. She was the one that had ruined the perfect Barbie and Ken marriage everyone thought her and Dillon had. She knew there was a lot more to Dillon Quartermaine and the expectations he had for his wife, than anyone knew and she thought now was the time they all found out.
