The Beachfront Conference Centre

Emerald's body tensed up and she immediately froze as soon as she heard her boyfriend yelling. She knew she was going to be in big trouble later on. She looked up and her hazel eyes were full of unshed tears. She could see that Roman had turned away from her, and he and Seth were face to face, both their bodies tensed and their fists clenched at their sides. She knew that this was going to get worse and she needed to defuse the situation as quickly as possible.

"WHICH ONE OF YOU IS GOING TO ANSWER THE QUESTION?" Seth yelled at Roman and Emerald.

Emerald didn't know how to answer the question. She couldn't tell Seth what was really going on. She was getting scared and Roman could sense her hesitation and her nervousness.

He deserved that slap. He would take any punishment that Emerald dished him because he knew deep down that he had hurt her and he would do anything to make it up to her. "DO NOT TALK TO HER THAT WAY! She doesn't deserve it, and you sure don't deserve her." Roman yelled back. His eyes were full of anger and rage. Emerald had never seen this side of Roman before. If she were being honest it was a turn on to see him this way, but he broke her heart and now she was trying to think of a way to calm the two of them down, before an even bigger scene was made.

"Seth, I am sorry. I shouldn't have slapped him, especially not here. I am so so sorry." Emerald stated, her voice was quiet, and almost cracking. Tears running down her face. She was trying not to sob, but she wasn't sure how much longer she could hold off on that. She thought that her sobs would break through at every word she had said. She didn't know how much more she could take. The guy who broke her heart was here, and he works with her boyfriend. She knew that tonight would not be the last she saw of Roman and she didn't know how she would keep it together.

Seth and Roman were just staring down at each other, Emerald was sure they were going to fight and she wasn't sure how to stop it. Suddenly Emerald was pulled away from the scene when her best friend came outside to find her date.

"What is happening here?" London asked. She looked at Emerald and her heart broke again for her. She knew that all of this was too much for Emerald. She wanted to help her, but she wasn't sure how and she had her own issues to deal with. The urge to cut was at an all-time high for London. She thought she was going to crawl out of her skin. She initially came outside to tell Roman that she had to leave. She needed to get home and release the pain. Seeing Shane, Roman and Emerald was a lot to deal with, especially now with Roman and Seth wanting to kill one another. She knew that she couldn't leave yet. Both of her best friends needed her now, and truth be told she needed them as well. She just hoped that Roman and Emerald could make up, but clearly from the scene in front of her that was not going to happen anytime soon.

"Stay away from MY girlfriend, Roman. I don't know why she slapped you, and to be honest I don't really care. Judging by the red hand print on your face she slapped you good, and you obviously deserved it. Stay away from her. This is my first and only warning to you." Seth stated cockily. He knew that Emerald would never leave him. She couldn't do better than him and he would do everything and anything in his power to make sure Emerald and Roman stayed apart.

"I will not leave her alone. She and I were friends long before you started to date her. You treat her like garbage Seth. I saw what you did to her earlier this evening when you two first got here. No man should ever treat a woman like that. You do not deserve her." Roman stated his anger was reaching an all-time high, and he was doing everything in his power to keep his composure and not pummel Seth to a pulp right here, right now.

London and Emerald had overheard the conversation and quickly turned their attention back to Seth and Roman, but what Emerald said next shocked both London and Roman.

"STOP Roman! You and I were friends until you upped and left without a good-bye and for two years I have heard NOTHING and now you suddenly show up and act like everything is all hunky dory between us. Well guess what it isn't. Seth is my boyfriend and I love him. Leave him alone. He is just trying to defend me and what you saw earlier was not what it looked like. Maybe don't be so quick to judge what you know nothing about." Emerald said. Those pact of lies tasted horrible in her mouth, but Seth was her boyfriend and she had to defend him. She knew that it would be bad later on, but she didn't want to make it worse for herself.

Roman looked down at Emerald and his heart broke even more. There was anger, pain, love, betrayal, and confusion in her eyes. He knew he was the main reason why she was feeling so many conflicting emotions. If only he could tell her why he had to leave and why he left without a good bye. He was sure she would forgive him, but unfortunately he couldn't tell her while she was with Seth. He needed to come up with a plan to get her alone so he could tell her everything, because if he didn't he would lose Emerald for good and he couldn't bear that.

London couldn't believe what she heard come out of her best friend's mouth. She was upset. "Emerald, that isn't fair. Roman was just trying to protect you. He was so upset by what he seen earlier, and I had to tell him to calm down and now you slap him and defend your piece of shit boyfriend. You need to get your priorities straight Em." London angrily stated at her best friend.

"L, you have no room to talk. You don't know shit about my life, and to be honest you don't care. You are so consumed by your own life that you have failed to be a best friend to me. I have tried to help you but you shut me down at every turn and you don't even ask me about how I am. Now that Roman is back you just defend him. You know what he did, and you didn't care then, and you don't care now." Emerald screamed at London.

Emerald made her way to Seth, who now had this huge smirk on his face. Truth be told he hated London as much as Roman, and now it looked like his girlfriend was done with the both of them or would be soon and that made him happy. Soon she would have no one but him; and that made him very confident and happy. He was re-thinking his plans for Emerald that night. He would have to punish her, but maybe not as harshly as he was thinking. He took her hand and their fingers intertwined as they made their way back inside to say good-bye to Seth's bosses.

London and Roman just stared at each other with a confused look on their faces. This wasn't the Emerald that they both loved. There was something different about her. London knew that what Emerald had said was true. She was so consumed by her own pain and anger that she wasn't there for Emerald when she needed her best friend the most. She felt awful.

"What did Emerald mean you are so consumed with your own life that you haven't been there for her? What is going on with you London? And don't say nothing because I knew from the moment I seen you tonight that something was wrong with you. Terribly wrong. So please tell me. Let me help you." Roman stated with concern and hurt in his eyes. He didn't realize that being away for two years would affect his beauties so much. They both seemed that they had secrets to hide and he wanted to know what each woman was hiding from him and each other. He vowed to himself that he would make up his absence to both woman and to figure out what was going on with each of them.

"Roman, I can't tell you. I am sorry, but I can't. I am sorry but I need to go." London said quietly. Unshed tears were threatening to come down her cheeks. With that she ran down the stairs and made her way to a cab that just happened to be there. As soon as she got into the cab he pulled away and London could see that Roman had went after her, but he was too late.

Roman made his way back inside. All he wanted to do was to get drunk, and forget that this night ever happened. He needed to come up with a plan to get Emerald to forgive him, and to figure out what was going on with London. If he wanted to get Emerald to forgive him then he had to be on his best behaviour and show her how much she means to him and prove to her that he has changed. As soon as he made his way inside, he immediately went to the bar and ordered a scotch. He needed something harder than beer now. He got his scotch and he decided after this drink that he was going to call it a night before anything more could happen. He made his way back to the table and he spotted Emerald and Seth. They were acting all lovey dovey and it pissed him off.

Suddenly, a gorgeous woman with dark brown hair with blonde highlights sat down next to him. Roman wasn't blind. He could appreciate another woman's beauty and this woman was beautiful, but she wasn't as beautiful as Emerald. At least not in Roman's eyes.

"How is a good looking man like yourself not here with anyone?" The mysterious woman asked.

"My friend had to leave unexpectedly and I am actually about to leave myself right away." Roman replied. Roman knew if he didn't leave right away he would either make a scene with Seth and Emerald or he would give into temptation with this mysterious beauty.

His eyes kept wandering back to Emerald. He thought she looked amazing. He wanted to tear off her dress and kiss and lick her body from head to toe. He wanted to hear her scream his name over and over again as he made her climax multiple times. He had fantasized often about what it would be like to make love to Emerald.

The mysterious woman followed Roman's gaze to the woman he was staring at. She knew that look in his eye. She knew that Roman was longing for that woman he was gazing at. She also noticed that she appeared to have a boyfriend so she thought she could take advantage of the situation. "Why don't we leave together? I can make you forget about her." The brunette said as she placed her hand on Roman's thigh.

"Okay, let's go. Your place or mine?" Roman asked. Roman knew he was making a mistake by leaving with this woman, but he didn't care. He needed something to take his mind off Emerald and his heartache and this something was this woman. He would concentrate on winning Emerald back the next day, but he needed one last night of meaningless sex with a beautiful woman.

"How about your place." The woman replied with a smirk on her face. She then grabbed Roman's arm and they walked out together. Unfortunately for Roman, Emerald had seen the whole thing.

Emerald and Seth had said their good-byes to everyone and were making their way out when one of Seth's colleagues stopped them before they left. Emerald turned away from them and she spotted Roman with this woman. It broke her heart. "Clearly he hasn't changed." Emerald thought to herself.

Seth turned and looked at Roman and this mysterious woman and he immediately smiled from ear to ear. His plan was falling into place. As much as he was angry earlier, his anger was fading away once he seen that his plan was falling into place. He knew he had Emerald right where he wanted her. He knew Roman could be tempted with a beautiful woman. All Seth had to do was put a woman in his face, and Roman would do the rest. Now Emerald was devastated, but she would stay with him now. He would stop at nothing to keep Emerald under his thumb. No he didn't love her, but he knew where she would end up or rather who she would end up with if she left him and there was no way he was going to let Roman get his claws into her.

"I think I have said good-bye to everyone. Are you ready to leave?" Seth asked Emerald politely.

Emerald immediately turned her attention back to Seth. Sadness in her eyes, but she put on a smile. "Yes I am ready to leave." She replied.

Emerald immediately took Seth's arm that he extended to her. They made their way out to the limo who just appeared a few moments ago. There was no sign of Roman or the woman which upset Emerald even more. Her mind was going into overdrive thinking about them having sex. It really shattered her heart into a million pieces. The driver opened the door and Emerald made her way inside, and Seth followed right behind her. Once Emerald was seated in the limo, Seth came up and sat directly beside her and took her hand in his. It shocked Emerald.

"Driver, we will be going back to my place, so we only have one stop instead of two." Seth told the limo driver. Seth immediately put up the practitioner and then he leaned down and kissed Emerald.

Emerald was shocked that Seth kissed her like that. It had been so long since he has touched her in a caring way. She immediately kissed him back and wrapped her hands around his neck deepening the kiss. She couldn't believe that she was doing this, but in all honesty she needed this distraction.

Seth immediately placed Emerald on his lap. His hands were running up and down her back. Emerald took his hair out of his bun and she was running her fingers through it. Their tongues were fighting for dominance, and the kiss was growing more passionate with each passing second. Before they knew it they were at Seth's place.

Emerald and Seth stopped making out when they realized that they were back at his place. Emerald got off Seth's lap and she went to grab her purse and shawl. The driver opened the door and Emerald took his hand and stepped outside. Seth followed suit right behind her after he adjusted himself from the growing bulge in his pants. He tipped the driver before he and Emerald made their way to his front door. He unlocked the door and they stepped inside. As soon as he closed the door he pushed Emerald up against the nearest wall and attached his lips to her neck. He heard her moan softly. He proceeded to unzip her dress and clothes were being shed from the front door to the couch in the living room. Seth wasn't sure what came over him, but he had to have Emerald right then and now. He had to claim her in every way as his. He had to prove a point to Roman. That is all this was to him. Yes, he was a man who had needs, but he got his needs fulfilled by other woman, but now that Roman was back he had to be careful because he didn't want Roman to get his claws into Emerald.

Seth was now in his briefs and Emerald was in her black boy cut panties and strapless black bra. As much as Seth tried to tell himself and Emerald that he didn't find her attractive by calling her horrible names he couldn't lie to himself, Emerald was a beautiful woman. He was so cruel to her because he needed control and needed to be centre of attention. He seen the way men looked at Emerald. They envied him for having such a gorgeous girlfriend. Unfortunately, Emerald was a means to an end for Seth. He just wanted her because he knew that Roman had been in love with her so he had to have her to throw it in Roman's face. That wasn't enough for Seth though. He came up with a plan to have Roman transferred to another city so he and Emerald would no longer see each other. That plan worked out perfectly because they stopped speaking for 2 years, but now Roman was back and he knew that Emerald would eventually forgive him, and leave him for Roman. He came up with another plan that appeared to be working to his advantage for the time being, but he knew that he had to make a BIG move to keep Emerald his forever.

"Seth, are you alright?" Emerald asked. It had been a few moments since there heated make out session and tearing each other's clothes off.

"Get in the bedroom now and lay on the bed under the covers now. Take off your panties and bra." Seth demanded.

Emerald did what he asked. She was now laying under the covers in Seth's bed naked. She heard the door creak open and then close. She looked up towards the door and saw Seth making his way over to her on the bed. As soon as Seth got on the bed he grabbed a condom from his nightstand drawer and handed it Emerald. She looked at him and then down to the package in her hand.

"What are you waiting for? Take off my boxers and put this on my dick." Seth demanded.

Emerald slowly made her way on her knees to take off Seth's boxers and his cock sprung free. He was hard. His dick was average sized. Emerald had often fantasized about how big Roman's cock was. She was sure he knew how to use it to. She slowly unrolled the condom on Seth's package. As soon as it was on he pushed her down on her back and he immediately entered Emerald's folds. It hurt a bit because she wasn't as turned on as earlier. Seth kept speeding up his pace, his eyes were closed. Emerald could hear him grunting and moaning. She knew he was close, but she was nowhere near close to having her release. She had her hands in his hair and she was moaning like she was enjoying this but she couldn't wait until Seth was done. He kept up his speed drilling in and out of Emerald's tight pussy until he finally said 'I'M COMING!"

As soon as he came into the condom he immediately rolled off of Emerald and laid there for a few moments to catch his breath. He knew that she didn't cum and he didn't care. She was lucky he slept with her in the first place.

"I will call you a cab to take you home." Seth stated matter of factly as he looked up to the ceiling above him. He immediately grabbed the phone placed on the nightstand. "Cab should be here in 15. You better get dressed. Make sure you don't forget anything."

Emerald was speechless but she knew she got off lucky. Tonight could have been a whole lot worse for her. She immediately got out of the bed and put on her panties and bra. She walked out of the bedroom and put on her dress and on the way grabbed her shawl, purse and heels. She left as soon as she was dressed and gathered her belongings. Seth heard the front door shut. He got up, put on his boxers and locked the front door. The cab showed up a few minutes later and Emerald got in, but instead of going straight home, she decided to make a detour first.
