Ch. 10: Sophia (End of 2nd Trimester)

Co-written by my wife: eminshall07

Three months later

My hands move gracefully across the piano to Bach's masterpiece Marcello. I have never grown tired of this piece of art. The city lights begin to shine through my windows as the sun falls over the horizon building shadows shrouding the streets below as I play. Over the last three months, I have finally broken away from the rugged routine that kept me in check after Ana and I decided to call off our affair. It's still not easy, but I have been managing. A month ago, I even managed to make myself go to a family gathering. It was miserable.

I put on my cheerful mask and met at Mom and Dad's for dinner. Everyone was there, even Carla, who still felt the need to remind me of my "bachelor life" and how I should just find a nice girl to keep me in check. Like, Ana? I smile at the thought of her finding out about us. I haven't been to another one since. I don't think I could stand another night of exchanging longing glances with Ana while she pretends everything is fine trying to be affectionate to Elliot, him rubbing her belly, my whole family overjoyed about the entire thing. I just can't. I miss a note and stop playing.

I need something to do tonight.

Just as the thought passes my phone dings. It's probably Mia trying to drag me to another gathering. Not happening. I will go when I'm ready to go and not a moment before. I get up from the bench and make my way over to the breakfast bar grabbing my phone and unlocking it as I make my way towards my bedroom. It's not Mia. The message is from Sophia.

Sophia works for a rival acquisitions company in New York, Hydra Industries. We met at a convention and really hit it off. She is smart, beautiful, and funny. Neither of us ever considered an actual relationship due to work, but anytime she's in town we meet up for a night out and casual sex.

S: Hey there stranger, I'm in town on a layover till tomorrow afternoon. Want to meet up? We can hit some clubs, have a few drinks?

I smirk. Who better to help me out then Sophia?

C: Sounds great, where do you want to meet?

S: Well, I was passing by Escala, so I am right outside. Is now a good time?

I'm actually having a lucky day.

C: Sure, come on up. You still remember the code?

S: Yeah, I will be up in a second.

I run into my room and dress quickly into a casual dark suit with a red shirt I leave untucked. The elevator chimes just as I am walking back out of the room to throw on some shoes.

Sophia's family is from Jordan. Her skin is a sweet caramel color which compliments her dark curly hair that she keeps straightened. Her deep brown eyes are narrow peaking slightly along the sides. She has a thin pointed nose and full lips. She grins at me as she steps off the elevator. She's in gray business casual with a short skirt and jacket nestled around her white shirt. She's naturally lean with average breasts and a thin waist. Her hips are slim and flatter her lushly long legs. I've always loved her legs. We greet each other with a short kiss.

"Getting dressed now I see?" she jest, "Mind if I go into your room to change?"

"You know the way," I gesture her towards my room. I enjoy watching her walk away. Ana's legs are nicer. I push the thought away. Not tonight. I am committed to enjoying an evening out with Sophia. It's always been a great outlet for me.

Sophia returns wearing a black one shouldered dress with a draped neckline. It hugs her body loosely favoring her slim figure.

"Are you ready to go?" she smiles as I lustfully eye her up and down.

"Yes, anywhere you wanted to head in particular?" I stand and hold my arm out for her to take.

"Let's head over to Foundation. I know you can get us the VIP room," She answers taking hold of me.

We hit the club hard. Enjoying the loud music and night scene to the fullest. I keep thoughts of Ana away with shots and focus on Sophia. She always knows how to help me unwind and just enjoy myself when I need to. We drink and dance until the early morning, finally leaving the club sometime before the sun is supposed to rise and head back to Escala. We're all over each other in the back of my car. For the first time in months I am free of my thoughts and just enjoying this remarkable woman I have in front of me.

Taylor pulls up in front of Escala. Sophia and I drunkenly stumble out onto the sidewalk laughing and kissing. I actually feel aroused and cannot wait to go upstairs. I look up and down the sidewalk. There is only on person briskly walking away. Is that Ana? I shake my head. What a stupid thing to think. Sophia kisses me, and we both make our way inside.

When the elevator chimes to signify we've reached my penthouse, we stumble out locked onto each other as we start flinging each other's clothes off. I pick Sophia up wrapping her legs around my waist and carry her to my room. I lay her back and kiss my way down her body causing her to moan loudly. I focus on each of her nipples before kissing further down past her navel sliding a finger into her as my mouth reaches her warm, wet pussy. Her taste is pleasant. Not amazing like Ana's. I ignore the thought and continue working Sophia's sweet sex. She wraps her legs around my head and tugs roughly on my hair.

I use my free hand to unfasten my pants and tug them off. I pull my mouth away from Sophia's well-lubricated love box and climb onto the bed with her. She slides back resting her head on my pillows as I crawl over to her. She sits up and takes my stiff member into her mouth, sucking hungrily on me. Ana's mouth is way better than this. I shove the thought away and lay Sophia back against the sheets kissing her as I slide my cock in. Sophia wraps her arms around my neck moaning hotly into my mouth.

I start pumping into her roughly. She moans noisily digging her nails into my back and wrapping her legs around me. She climaxes quickly her head rolling into my pillows. I continue fucking her before changing positions, flipping her over and taking her from behind. We fuck doggy-style until Sophia arches her back as another climax rocks her body. I realize that I'm not even close. What the hell?

We change positions again. I lay on my back, and Sophia lowers herself on to me. She starts rocking back and forth with vigor on my cock grabbing her hair with both her hands as she heads into another orgasm. I'm becoming frustrated. I'm still not even close. Fuck, I need to come. I sit up and lay her back while still inside her and start pumping again. Sophia is biting the sheets as I fuck her crudely. I'm starting to give up, but I want to save her feelings.

We change positions for the last time. I lay Sophia on her side and slide my manhood into her while laying behind her caressing her body as we fuck. She laces her fingers through mine as I pump into her. As she enters into her final climax, I submit that I am not going to have one, but to save her emotions, I stiffen and imitate coming with her. This was awful.

We both relax trying to catch our breaths before we shuffle up and slide under the covers. We lay against each other, Sophia's head resting against my ribs as I set an alarm so she can still make her flight and she drifts off to sleep. I lay for a moment waiting for sleep to come trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with me. How can I ever love another woman? Finally, sleep approaches and I drift away.

Ana's POV

I need to tell him how I feel.

I grin while driving to Christian's penthouse. I need to see him and tell him that I love him and that I've choosen him. I want us together, like a real family. I will tell him that I agree to the DNA test.

I see the entrance of Escala in the distance, causing me to squeal in excitement. This is it!

I decide to park on the street instead of in the parking garage. I need to give myself some time to calm down so I can go in there with a clear head.

I look in the rear-view mirror and smooth down my hair smiling as I get out of my car.

I lock the car, and walk slowly onto the sidewalk thinking about what lead me here.

Last night, while I was in bed with Elliot, after we had sex he was sleeping beside me peacefully. He was facing me with a content smile on his face and I was laying there on my side just watching him sleep while rubbing my pregnant belly.

Tears were running down my face as I lay there staring at my husband. I love Elliot, but I am in love with Christian, and I want to be with him. I have spent the last three months in agony. When I saw him at the family gathering, it broke me to see him so hurt. I was hurt too, but I didn't know what to do. I love Christian, and I had to break things off with him. There I was Laying down beside my husband thinking of another man. A man that I am so helplessly in love with.

It hit me that I wanted to be with him. I wanted us to be together; as a family. I rubbed my bump and thought about my unborn child.

This baby could be Christian's. Why didn't I agree to the DNA test?

I choked back a sob, and covered my mouth with my hand, trying not to wake Elliot. I should have done the test when Christian first asked me. It was the only way to know for sure. I needed to try. I smiled through my tears when I made up my mind.

Now here I am walking to Christian's penthouse to tell him that I will agree to do the DNA test. I choose Christian. I choose us.

I smile and continue to walk along the sidewalk.

Before I get to the lobby doors of Escala; I see Christian stumble onto the sidewalk out of his car.

He's not alone.

I freeze on the spot and the smile instantly drops from my face. I am shocked to see the scene before me.

Christian has his arm around a tall brunette woman. They are laughing as Christian leans over and nuzzles her neck causing her to giggle. The sight brings me to tears my lip trembling.

I back away and try to be quiet so they won't see me. I turn around quickly and waddle away keeping both my hands on my stomach as I return to my car with tears streaming down my face.

I'm such a fool.

AN: Hey guys.

This will be the last chapter for a few days. We are being evacuated tomorrow due to Hurricane Matthew that is predicted to hit the east coast this weekend, so there won't be any updates for the rest of the week. I will try to write if I have free time when we get to our safe destination, but no promises. If not, then I will update sometime next week for sure.

If you are also in the path of the hurricane; be safe.

Thanks for the support.
