Chapter 2

Three months later… (Monday, April 19th)

Gemini1985: I can't believe we are doing this yet again.

Capricorn_guy: I know, me either but I can't seem to stay away from you. What have you done to me Gem?

I sighed as I leaned back in my chair looking at the computer screen that was waiting for my response. Cap and I had been talking on a messenger chat for over two months now and my world had quickly shifted to where he was my main focus these days. We had sent emails back and forth for three weeks before I suggested we get an instant messenger service so we could actually chat instead of emailing. That is when we had gotten really close because we were actually sitting and having conversations without having to wait however long for a response. We had yet to meet or even see one another or tell our real names because of our professional lives and the business merger he had going on that he had told me a little bit about without going into too much detail.

With me being a journalist I'm sure I could figure out who he really was but I had promised him I wouldn't pry like he promised not to pry about my real identity. We were waiting until we were free to meet in person without any repercussions.

Capricorn_guy: Gem, you still there?

The ding from his alert brought me back to the here and now.

Gemini1985: I'm here, I was just remembering how far we had come since that first email I sent to you and how far apart we still are.

Capricorn_guy: Are you happy, Gem? A beautiful woman like you have described to me should be out in the real world finding somebody that can take you out to dinner or to the movies or simply snuggle together on the couch you told me about.

Gemini1985: I AM happy and this is good enough for now, I promise. You are almost done with you end of the deal and we can see where this goes after that, right? Plus, I'm not ready to go out into the real world just yet, I like cyber world better right now. Cause that is where you are at…

Capricorn_guy: Don't let Jake have this kind of power over you, Gem. Yes, I am almost done with the deal but what if I don't live up to your expectations? The cyber world can't keep you warm at night like somebody in the real world can. Don't be afraid, baby.

Gemini1985: Jake was/is disgusting, it just took me a while to realize it. I'm just glad that I didn't catch anything from him with everything he had been doing behind my back. I'm not so much afraid as I am just biding my time until you are free to take me out to dinner or to the movies or simply snuggle together on the couch I told you about.

I told him using his own words against him.

Capricorn_guy: I know, baby, I know. I just wish circumstances were different on my end. I'm no better than Jake.

Gemini1985: Don't say that, Cap. You are so much better than Jake ever dreamed of being, not even in the same world much less the same league.

Capricorn_guy: Bullshit, Gem. I can't even tell you my real name and I'm basically cheating on the witch with you.

Gemini1985: You will tell me your name when you can and you aren't really dating the witch so it can't be classified as cheating. Plus, it's not like I've told you my name either!

Capricorn_guy: That's because I told you not to since I couldn't disclose mine! Not the same thing at all, baby, and it's all so unfair for such an amazing woman.

Gemini1985: You're right it's not fair but I am a big girl who makes my own decisions. And my decision is that I'm not going anywhere until you tell me to take a hike. I personally can't wait until the end of April.

Capricorn_guy: Getting impatient are we?

Gemini1985: You know I am. What are you wearing?

I needed to change the subject and fast because he always got depressed when he thought too much about what he was putting me through. Cyber-sex was the quickest way to distract him and it was also fun for me.

Capricorn_guy: I just left the office where I have been all day so I am still in my suit that I had to wear because I had a meeting this morning.

Gemini1985: Are you on your way home?

Capricorn_guy: Unfortunately no, ever make love in the back of a limo?

Gemini1985: No, what about the driver?

I felt my body react to the possibility of making love in the back of his limo and that was sure to translate into my words.

Capricorn_guy: Separation glass, I can see out but he can't see in. You are for my eyes only, Gem.

Gemini1985: Sounds exciting. Do we have time before you get to your destination?

Capricorn_guy: I will always make time for you, Gem. What are you wearing?

I looked down at my red plaid pajama bottoms and white tank top and groaned. I had been working when he had chimed in so I hadn't bothered to get dressed after my shower because I had no intentions of leaving the house today.

Gemini1985: Umm…it's not sexy in the least but I am in my ratty red plaid pajamas with a plain white tank top on.

Capricorn_guy: Haha, I'm sure you can make anything sexy. If I were there I would still make you feel sexy and irresistible, baby.

I groaned and nodded before responding.

Gemini1985: You already do, Cap, and you're not even physically here yet. If you were though I would probably be in a lot less clothing or at least something sexier. I've been working on my latest book all day myself.

Capricorn_guy: Ahh…writing in comfort, my kind of girl. Are you still in your office or are you on the couch this time?

I had never had my online trysts with Cap in my bedroom, it was always either here in my home office or in the living room. I was reserving the bedroom for the real thing; when I could have him there in the flesh instead of through a keyboard or phone.

Gemini1985: I'm in the office in my chair with my feet propped on the desk and laptop resting on my lap.

Capricorn_guy: Good, put your computer on your desk, Gem so you can use your hands freely. I need them to be me for a little bit.

I groaned and did as he asked, repositioning myself so I could still type but do as he asked also.

Gemini1985: Okay, I've never had sex in the back of a limo so you will have to teach me.

Capricorn_guy: No problem, Gem, and I hope you don't ever just have sex in the back of a limo without me. I plan to ravish you and make wildly passionate love to you in the back of one as soon as I am able.

Gemini1985: Okay, I'm game if you are.

Capricorn_guy: Oh, I'm game, alright. I imagine you coming to surprise me at the end of my work day. You have just waltzed into my office in nothing but a jacket, bright red high heeled shoes, and a smile.

Gemini1985: Hmm… if I knew where you worked I could so do that for real.

I lived to tease him these days because the day when we could make all of these 'if's' a reality was getting closer and closer.

Capricorn_guy: Someday soon, baby, now hush and enjoy the ride.

Gemini1985: Yes sir.

Capricorn_guy: Good girl. After you surprise me in the office, I quickly usher us out of the building because my office is solid glass walls all the way around and you are for my eyes only. I can feel you trembling as we walk through the lobby and out onto the street.

Capricorn_guy: We quickly duck into the backseat of the limo as I instruct Felix to take the long way home before sealing us in the back all alone.

Capricorn_guy: I lay you down on the black leather seat as I kneel in the floor in front of you. I urgently untie your jacket to reveal your completely naked body that you teased me with upstairs.

Capricorn_guy: You blow me away, baby. You are a picture of pure perfection. I run my fingers over your body lightly from sternum to apex causing you to bow your back up off the seat in anticipation. I gently dip my fingers into your wetness causing you to groan loudly and clench my hair tightly in your hands. Do it, baby, be my hands for me.

Capricorn_guy: I lean forward and seal my lips to yours to keep your moans quiet because while the glass is see proof it's not soundproof. As I kiss you passionately your little hands go to work on my belt buckle, freeing me from my pants.

Capricorn_guy: I can't take much, thoughts of you laying naked in our bed as I left for work that morning has had me on edge all day. I tug you until you are sitting up on the seat with me still kneeling between your spread legs.

Capricorn_guy: You smile at me and nod and demand 'Now.' So who am I to deny a beautiful lady. I ease forward on my knees and gently ease myself into your amazing warmth as you wrap your entire body around mine and bury your face in my neck.

Capricorn_guy: I ease us up until I can twist us around on the seat so that I am sitting down with you in my lap. It is an amazing ride, in more ways than one. Can you feel me, Gem?

EPOV

Playing with Gemini or just simply chatting about our days with her or sending her sweet or romantic or goofy comments throughout the day kept me going these days and kept me from murdering Tanya as she paraded us around town for the perfect photo opportunity for the local gossip magazines. The fact that I had been chosen as the NY's most eligible bachelor in the business department last year had only skyrocketed the gossip frenzy. This particular conversation had left me in a very uncomfortable position in the back seat of the limo as I headed from my office to meet Tanya for dinner. I got a secret chuckle every time one of us referred to Tanya as the witch or wicked witch because it was honestly true. I was thrilled that Gem, as I had taken to calling her, had accepted all of my secrets that I had to keep for all of our sake.

Gemini1985: Can I ever. My body is still quivering from your words.

I groaned and leaned my head back against the seat as I willed my body to calm down because I didn't know if I could walk into the restaurant that Tanya had demanded I come to.

Capricorn_guy: Good. Keep feeling me for a few hours until I can come back to you.

Gemini1985: Oh, that's not going to be a problem, Cap.

Capricorn_guy: That's what I like to hear. Have you thought anymore about coming to Greece?

I had been begging her to come spend a few weeks in Greece with my family, who knew all about her, but she had been resistant because we had never met face to face. I hadn't told Gem that the reason for going to Greece was Alice's wedding, she thought it was just a family vacation. The closer I got to the end of April, the scheduled break-up time with Tanya, the more I thought about how to do it without making Tanya look like the evil bitch that she was and without damaging my reputation too badly. Alice was the one that had suggested inviting Gem to the wedding and following vacation in Greece. She said that we could leak a few photographs, hiding Gem's identity of course, to the gossip rags and let them run with it. It would look like I had used the ruse of my sister's wedding to meet my secret lover since my girlfriend hadn't been invited to the wedding. Tanya would come out looking like the helpless victim in the whole scenario and Gem's identity could be hidden until we wanted it revealed, if we wanted it revealed. I hadn't brought this scenario up to neither Gem nor Tanya yet because I was scared of their reactions to it but I was beginning to think it was time for a little revelation with my Gem.

Gemini1985: I'm still not sure, Cap. What if we hate each other? It could potentially ruin the family vacation. What if your family disapproves of me? There are too many what if's, Cap.

Capricorn_guy: It's so tempting to just say screw it all, Gem. I could so easily tell you who I am, where my office building is, or beg you for your name and address so I could come surprise you when I'm in the city in a few days. That would solve a lot of your what if's!

Gemini1985: You're coming into the city?

Capricorn_guy: I am. I have a meeting with a building inspector and the wicked witch to sign the final documents for our deal which is about to come to an end in a mere 11 days.

Gemini1985: Good luck with that. Any ideas on how to make you look like an ass and her like the heartbroken princess she's trying to portray?

Capricorn_guy: Yeah but I will have to tell you later because we just got to the restaurant and I have to go play my part, baby. I'll call you later. Be good.

I groaned as I saw Tanya standing just outside the restaurant looking impeccable in her tight knee length dress and perfectly fixed hair. I couldn't stand that type of woman, she cared more about her appearance than the people around her. That was why we had broken up in high school. She was fake and always trying to put on airs and I was just trying to be me. I wanted somebody that dressed for comfort instead of trying to put on a good impression to the rich and famous.

Gemini1985: I'm always good or at least good at it! Have fun with your harpy of a girlfriend!

Capricorn_guy: She's not my girlfriend and you could always distract me by messaging me naughty things.

Gemini1985: Go play your part, handsome. Call me after you get home?

Capricorn_guy: **sigh** absolutely. I am just a click away if you need me.

Gemini1985: I won't. Now, go!

I slid my phone into the pocket of my suit pants before sliding from the limo and coming face to face with a pissed off Tanya. "What's wrong?" I asked her as I tugged her to my side guiding us into the restaurant.

"I have been standing outside for the past five minutes alone looking like an idiot." She said as she plastered a fake smile on her perfectly made up face.

I sighed as I placed my hand on her back guiding her to the hostess stand. "I'm sorry, I lost track of time while I was at the office. We have a reservation for Cullen." I told the host.

"Okay, follow me please." The gruff looking man said as he grabbed two menus and took off down the hallway.

"Let's please not argue tonight, I just want to have dinner and go home." I told her as I held out her chair for her. "I am not in the mood for your dog and pony show tonight."

She shook her head. "We need to discuss our breakup." She whispered across our tiny table.

I shook my head. "I'm not discussing that with you at all, I will get the job done and that is all you need to know. This ridiculous deal is over on the 30th of April at midnight and I don't intend to act a single day after that." I told her softly but firmly.

"Don't be an ass, Edward." She snarled at me.

I just leaned back in my chair and laughed. "Isn't that what you want? Me to look like an ass?" I asked her just as our server came to take our order.
