Author's note: I wrote this some time ago when I had to let out my frustration about ConVict's relationship. I decided to share this with you as a One Shot with potential for more chapters but I have to focus on my "Summer 1993" fic. I hope you like it, enjoy and as always please review. :) Oh and please excuse my French! :D (I really love that language though!)
Victoria Grayson nervously played with the hem of her dress as she sat in the car on the way to her husband's office.
"How long will it take until we're there?" She asked the driver checking her watch.
"About 10 minutes, Mrs Grayson." The older man answered and smiled in the rear-view mirror. He knew exactly why the beautiful brunette on the backseat was so undeniably nervous. Of course she hadn't told him but he was smart enough to figure it out himself given her previous appointment.
In a way he was grateful for his employer's marriage with his first wife falling apart because for some strange reason Victoria had caught his interest from the first time he had driven her and his boss to one of their early "meetings" at his bachelor pad.
Even back then he had known that there was something very special about the mysterious beauty and very quickly it became clear that also Mr Grayson had realized that.
Long story short, now she was his wife and he had the pleasure of driving her officially. One of the things he liked most about her was the fact that she always began to talk to him. Not like all those other rich people just ordering him around, but instead she really seemed to be interested in a conversation with him. After all, she wasn't one of those high society girls growing up in rich families and treating their employees like some minor species. No, Victoria Grayson was actually just a working-class girl who used her brain and body wisely in order to escape that unpromising vision of the future. He had to admit that he admired her for what she had achieved. She had become part of one of the wealthiest families in the US by winning over the only son of that family who had still been married. This woman definitely knew how to get what she wanted. He could only hope that even though she enjoyed a privileged lifestyle, the company of those rich people wouldn't poison her character completely.
"Here we are Mrs Grayson. Shall I wait for you?"
"No, no, thank you James." Victoria unbuckled her seatbelt and wanted to open the door which her driver already held open for her.
"You should know by now that it's my job to do that, Mrs Grayson." He smiled and assisted her to leave the car safely in her killer heels.
"Oh, yes, I know. It's still very strange for me." She forced herself to smile and fixed her hair staring into the reflection of the car window.
"Don't worry. You look great. Mr Grayson will be very happy to see you." The driver winked and got back into the car again while Victoria made her way through the front door of the office building. Every single staff member seemed to know her name and they greeted her with faked politeness in their voices.
"Hello Mrs Grayson, it's nice to see you again. Mr Grayson is still in a meeting, but he'll be free for lunch in about 30 minutes." The blonde secretary let her know.
"Oh okay, I'll wait here." Victoria explained and took a seat in the waiting room.
"Would you like something to drink?" The blonde woman asked.
"Yes, water would be great." Victoria answered crossing her legs. She didn't feel comfortable in the sterile office building. Maybe it hadn't been the best idea to go there to tell him. She should've waited until he got home in the evening. Before she had the chance to reconsider her decision, a group of men came rushing through the door, obviously in a heated discussion.
Victoria quickly rose from her chair as she noticed her husband leading the men into another office. For one second Conrad let his angered gaze stray and immediately recognized a familiar figure standing next to his secretary's desk.
"Victoria, sweetheart, what are you doing here?" He walked towards her and felt a wave of love rushing through his body at the sight of his wife. He still couldn't believe that he could now call the most gorgeous woman on earth Mrs Grayson.
"I wanted to see you." She replied truthfully meeting his lips in a soft kiss.
"Well, that's great." He put a hand on the small of her back and led her to the group of investors. "Please meet Mr Saussure our most important French investor."
The other man, who was probably some years older than Conrad, stepped forward and kissed the back of Victoria's hand.
"Oh, elle est une vraie beauté!" He said addressing his French colleagues.
"Merci, Monsieur Saussure. Et vous êtes un vrai gentleman."
"Ah oui, et elle est intélligente aussi. Est-ce que je pouvrais vous inviter à ma maison à Paris pour visiter la cité la plus belle du monde?"
"J'aimerais accepter cet offre mais je suis sûre que mon mari a des plans différents pour nous."
"Dommage! Ce..."
Conrad interrupted their little French flirt for he didn't get a word they were saying and put his arm around Victoria's waist. "I actually have a lunch date with my wife. I hope you understand that."
"If there's one thing your father hasn't been lying about it's definitely this woman." The tall man replied in a heavy French accent and smirked eyeing Victoria from head to toes.
"See you later then. Enjoy your break." Conrad excused both of them and escorted Victoria into his office. He hated other men looking at her like that, although he felt like he couldn't blame them. It was natural for Victoria to have that effect on men and it was certainly useful in some situations. Still his jealousy was almost killing him.
"What was that?" Victoria was confused about their sudden exit from the obviously important investors.
"I just couldn't wait to have you all to myself." Conrad growled and pushed her over to his desk catching her lips in a passionate kiss.
"I know how you feel but it was very impolite, Conrad." Victoria voiced her opinion but didn't protest as her husband lifted her up to make her sit on the desk.
"I don't care. I cannot stand that man. He thinks I'll ruin this company without my father's help." Conrad let his hands roam over Victoria's thighs pushing her skirt further up to reveal more of her delicate flesh.
She was clever enough not to dig any deeper since whenever it came to her father in-law and Conrad's new position in the company things easily got out of hand, so she decided to let him have what he wanted.
"I know that you will do a great job as CEO." Victoria whispered into his ear while his hands were finding their way under her dress.
"Thank you, sweetheart." Conrad moaned as he got hold of her panties sliding them down her legs. "This is so much easier without those stupid stockings." He then began opening her blouse kissing every inch of her cleavage as more and more of it was revealed.
"Conrad." Victoria managed to say with an erratic voice. "There's something else I know you will do a great job as." Her hands were gripping his shoulders, but he continued his journey downwards her body.
"I know that you will do a great job as a father." She sighed relieved as his head suddenly shot up.
"What do you mean? Are you, you are?" He stammered unable to stop the smile from spreading across his face.
"Pregnant. Yes, I'm pregnant." Also Victoria couldn't help herself but smile beaming with joy. This time it was real and she had to admit that she was excited to finally start a family in a stable situation with her husband. "I just had the doctor's appointment to confirm it."
"I cannot believe it! I love you,Victoria." He took her into his arms, at first kissing her hair and then turning to her face until his lips met hers again.
After she had lost their child shortly after the wedding, he had never imagined that she would be ready to try again so soon. It only proved to him once more that she was an incredible woman.
"We definitely have to celebrate this!" Conrad announced cupping her face with his hands. "And I have to call my parents, they will be so happy to know that they are going to be grandparents."
"Well about that, I think we should still wait some time, Conrad." Victoria wrapped her legs around his waist drawing him closer to her. "There's still the chance that things could go wrong, you know…" She lovingly took his hand and placed it on her stomach. "I think this should stay a secret between us for a while."
"This time you will be fine, Victoria. I will make sure of that." He picked up her panties and placed them at their rightful place again kissing the skin of her legs as he slowly adjusted her skirt. "Let's start with grabbing something to eat wherever you like." He helped her climb from the desk and entwined his fingers with hers as he wanted to leave the office.
"Wait!" Victoria held him back. "I'm still half naked. You forgot something." She laughed and buttoned her blouse since her husband had obviously been too distracted to notice that her bra still wasn't covered with anything. "Now I'm ready to be seen in public." She pressed a kiss onto his mouth and took his hand like he had done before.
