Chapter 11: Let Me Remind You

"Bra! For the last time, let's go!" Trunks yelled out at the bottom of the staircase by the main entrance of his parent's home. He waited impatiently, suited up in a dark gray coat and pantsuit, paired with a navy tie. He hated waiting, especially for an event.

"Yeah, I got it. Geez." Bra said sharply as her heels clicked hastily, descending down each step. She dressed in a tightly snug white cocktail dress, red and black jewelry accessories with matching heels.

"Wow, our kids sure clean up nicely, don't they Vegeta?" Bulma asked as she stood nearby in a black laced dress. Vegeta scoffed with pride in his black suit. The Brief family had more than their fair share of good looks running through their genes.

The family went into the black stretched out SUV that sat waiting on them. Tonight was one of the biggest events of the year for their company. It was an event that would showcase their latest and newest inventions along with competitors from all over the world. It was a chance to make an impression to their investors and show that Capsule Corp is still one of the leading businesses in its field.

Bra was too distracted with her personal life that she didn't realize the date was coming up so fast. She kept busy the entire week; working late hours along with the rest of the employees.

The thought of Goten still laid dormant in her mind, only to come up when she laid quietly in her bed trying to fall asleep. That one night still played on and on in her mind, persistent and nagging at her heart.

Earlier in the week, Bra decided to stay at the office and continued to work. Kenzo knocked on the opened door to her office.

"Bra, I'm heading out. Are you sure you want to stay? It's rather late for work." He asked looking at his watch that indicated 10:30 pm.

"Yeah, don't worry about me. Trunks has a little sleeping area for nights like this." She said dismissively with a yawn while flipping through papers of what items they were going to showcase at the event.

Kenzo noticed the energy drained from her eyes.

"I take it you're referring to that?" He pointed to the small couch that usually served its purpose during meetings. It didn't look very comfortable to sleep on by any means.

"There's just a lot that still needs to be looked over. It's a lot of pressure on me to prove myself while my brother is absent." Her blue eyes kept focus on the task at hand.

"I understand. But if I'm not mistaken, you've barely eaten between yesterday and today, let alone taken any kind of break." He walked slowly towards her desk as she was fully immersed in her work. Quietly sneaking his way behind her, he placed his hands over her eyes.

"Kenzo!" She said startled.

"Come now, you should really considering taking a break." He whispered in her ear. His deep voice sent a chill down her spine, making the little hairs on her arm stand. The way he spoke and the sound of his voice was so sexy to her.

"Kenzo, the conference is in 2 days. I need to concentrate." She spoke with conviction.

"Bra, the most important projects have already been approved by Trunks. The changes that have been implemented are minimal. Just take a break for the rest of night and come in late tomorrow. I promise you, everything will still be intact." He placed his hands on her stiff shoulders and began to massage them. She sighed in defeat and dropped her head. The tension on her shoulders was quite evident and a break was something she needed after a long night.

"But..." She began, then Kenzo spun her chair to face him. Her eyes met his when the chair stopped. Placing his hands on either sides of her chair, he leaned his face close to hers as she shyly darted her eyes down to his bold forearms. His sleeves were folded just below his elbows. His hands seemed strong but manicured. The scent of his cologne tantalized her senses once again. Her eyes traced up to his face slowly and she realized that it had a faint shadow of a beard forming.

"No refusals. You need to take your mind off of work and let it reset." He said staring into her blue eyes. She looked back at him immensely, considering her answer. But the only thing running through her mind was how good looking this man was. Even the mere thought of hooking up again popped up in her head. She shook the thought of it out. He's my assistant, he's my brother's assistant. She repeated in her head.

"Join me for a drink or even a bite to eat, you must be famished. I insist."

"Ok fine." She said defeated, rolling her eyes.

"Perfect." A smile instantly grew on Kenzo's face. He grabbed her forearms and pulled her off of the dreaded office chair. She started grabbing her things together as he did the same.

"Just one drink and something small to eat. After that I'm going home." She closed her office as they headed out to the elevators.

"May I suggest the small place just outside of here, the one from the other day?"

"Sure."

He pressed the button for the first level and turned his head to her as did she. He smiled and something in her made her heart beat faster. What was going on? She thought. Her eyes traced down. The bit of scruffiness on his face and the way his hair was beginning to lose its hold was making his "oh so perfect" image of him seem less. His tie was loosened and the top button of his dress shirt was undone. The wear of the day was definitely showing on him.

She grew conscious of her own image and began running her fingers through her long blue hair, tugging on her tight navy dress and straightening her white blazer. She patted her cheeks to try to add some color onto them and make her look less dull as she was sure her make-up was faint by now.

"Bra?" She turned her face as he swiftly leaned in and kissed her lips. Bra stood baffled.

"Consider that your wake up call." He teased. She glared at him, stretching one side of her mouth upward.

"You were just so absolutely adorable that I couldn't resist." Bra continued to stare at him, slightly aloof.

"Relax Bra. I suggest you get your mind off of work already or I'll become a repeat offender." He continued, grinning from ear to ear. Bra rolled her eyes and shook her head as she breathed a sigh of defeat. He seemed to always be the one to remind her when to lighten up.

"You didn't have to kiss me to do that." She smiled to herself as the heat from her face began to fade away.

"It worked didn't it?"

"For a moment, yes." She grinned and nudged his arm with her shoulder.

"Besides, if my memory serves me correctly, what was it you were implying not too long ago?" He teased, placing a thumb and index finger on his chin, as if to appear he was thinking.

"We're not in your office anymore. It's not business hours and you won't even be here next month, if I recall." He joked on.

"Are you really going to start with me with that right now?" She said inquisitively, raising an eyebrow.

"We can start whenever you want, just tell me when." He smirked back at her. She watched as his arm moved slowly, she felt him place his hand on her back and pulled at her waist, bringing her closer to him. She looked at him and their eyes spoke silently of lust. She snickered as a plan kicked into play in her mind.

"Not here. Too many cameras." She said as her eyes pointed in the direction of one in the corner. The elevator dinged and the doors opened. Bra sauntered her way out, moving her hips with intent as Kenzo followed, keeping his eyes on the prize. It was like a dog following a treat.

Bra took out her capsule container and skimmed her finger over each one till she got to a black labeled capsule with the number 410 on it. She pressed the top and threw it out onto the street. A silver SUV with dark limo tinted windows appeared through the smoke. They both hopped in and she drove off.

It only took a few minutes before she parked the car on the side at a nearby park. The same park that she met Goten at a few days earlier. There weren't any other cars near her and the only street lights were off into the distance. The side of the park she parked at had a decent sized hill. Any spectators would have a hard time seeing inside. She turned the engine and the lights off and looked at him.

"I'm quite surprised, Bra. The park?" He said with a mischievous smile.

"Why not?" She said as she kicked off her heels. Without hesitation she hiked up her skirt up just enough and climbed over to Kenzo's seat, straddling him. Without any warning, Bra grabbed his face and started to kiss him. Kenzo muffled in surprise and placed his hands on her hips. Their tongues thrashed and tasted each other mercilessly. His hands crawled up her sides and slid the blazer off of her shoulders, tossing it aside.

Kenzo searched around the seat and pulled a handle on the chair to recline it back. Bra yelped in surprise when it went down fast, detaching their lips. She pushed up on his hardened chest and sat up. Her eyes nudged to the back seat, where she had it already folded down, giving them more room.

"Smart girl." He snickered as she began crawling her way to the back. Kenzo quickly kicked his shoes off and followed her back. Once he was close enough, Bra cupped her hands at his cheeks and pulled him closer. She whipped her hair to one side, pausing a moment as she admired his facial features. His clear blue eyes were hypnotizing.

In this moment, she needed him more than he needed her. This time it didn't have much to do with Goten at all. The stress of the big event had landed on her lap. The timing of her new niece's birth couldn't have been anymore inconvenient. But nevertheless, Trunks still lent a helping hand from home whenever approvals or adjustments seemed way over Bra's expertise and knowledge.

"Fuck work." She tried saying with conviction as she looked down at his now reddened lips.

He smiled happily before pressing his lips onto hers. Kenzo's hands ran all over Bra's curves slowly. Savoring the feeling of her body in the tight dress. He pulled the straps of her dress down, exposing her supple breasts. His lips left hers as he sat down. In one smooth motion he quickly leaned over, hooking his arm behind her and pulling her in. He held her close as the kissing commenced.

Bra hastily began to untuck his dress shirt. Her hands started to unbutton it but she grew frustrated quickly and ripped it open as the buttons flew everywhere.

"Sorry. I'll buy you a new one." She said between their lips.

"I couldn't care less." He smiled gorgeously at her.

Kenzo held her tighter as he began to turn, swapping places. He laid her down slowly and began kissing down the length of her neck, down to her chest. Bra's back began to arch up to meet him. Quiet moans began to escape low in her throat as the heat from his mouth enclosed onto one of her nipples.

His hands traced up the soft skin of her thighs, sneaking under her dress as he pushed it up above her hips. He lingered around her hips and noticed she had no panties on. He lifted his head and looked at her smugly.

"Hmm, no panties and no bra? You're sure beguiling Miss Bra Brief." He teased.

"Ironic isn't it?" She smiled seductively and tugged on his opened dress shirt to kiss him. Her hands moved slowly over his thick abs till she arrived at his belt buckle, unbuckling and unbuttoning him. Kenzo went ahead and unzipped his pants in haste, pulling them down just enough to spring free. He reached his hand out and placed it between her legs. She was more than ready for him.

Kenzo inched forward, teasing her hot folds with the tip. He dove into her slowly. The feeling of ecstasy rushing over them. His hips moved slowly and languidly, feeling every bit of her as the moans escaped quietly with every movement. The motion began to pick up speed then set into a continuous rhythm that was sure to shake the car.

Bra felt his fingers begin to dig into her hips as she gripped harder onto the folded down seats just above her head. Her moans become more intense as her eyes rolled to the back of her head. It was becoming overwhelming.

His breathing became more ragged and vocal as his jaw started to drop. His hips began to push more fervently as the feeling heightened.

Kenzo dropped his head down to the nape of her neck, pushing his hips deeper into her. Her hands gripped at his hair, tugging tighter with each moan. Kenzo sucked at her neck gently to try to divert some of the attention as he was coming on fast. But this didn't work as he began to feel the coil in her tighten around him. He gripped at the edge of the seating, as he knew the end was nearing. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and held on, digging the tips of her nails into his flesh. His hips began to move hastily, catching her orgasam as it came, tightening around him in waves. Her head tilted back and her body shuddered in its release. Her moan was more audible and careless. He thrusted a few more times and stilled when he came. His breath hitched as his hips moved languidly a couple more times before he collapsed himself on top of her.

They laid there silently, breathing raggedly. His head sat on her chest, rising and falling with every breath. Slowly he pressed down on his hands and lifted himself up. Drawing himself out of her, he let out a soft grunt and sat up. He fixed his pants and stared down at her limp body as he continued panting. Bra nonchalantly pushed her arms through the straps of her dress and pulled it up, covering her breasts. Then pulled down on the bottom of her dress, adjusting herself. Kenzo glanced down at his dress shirt, unsure of how to close it, he looked over at Bra with a smile and a shrug.

"Sorry Kenzo. I got a little carried away." She said, staring at his exposed and toned body.

"Well, shall we continue the original goal and grab a bite to eat before heading home?" He shrugged.

"Yes, I'm starving now." She sat up and began making her way to the driver's seat, Kenzo following behind her.

He slipped on his shoes and looked down at his body and laughed softly.

"What?" Bra looked over at him after starting the engine.

"May I suggest we grab something to go instead?" He held the opened edges of his ruined shirt and looked at her with a smile spread across his lips.

"Oh. Good point," she laughed, "we can pick something up on the way and just eat in my car. I can drop you off after that."

"You're more than welcome to stay at my place."

"And come back to work in the same clothes? No thanks. It's fine." She concluded as he shrugged after.

A storm began as the black SUV reached the convention center. Banners decorated the outside of the building, indicating the big event going on inside. People dressed to impress were running through the rain to get inside as fast as they could. The driver pulled up to the entrance and walked over to the back door. He popped open an umbrella and opened the door.

"I'm sorry, I only have one umbrella." He said.

"It's fine. Mom, Bra go ahead." Trunks insisted.

Bra and Bulma grabbed the umbrella and ran their way inside with the two men following behind, using their coats to block the rain. Inside, the place was packed with people. Banners hung representing each company and their booths. Drinks and appetizers were being served and the people mingled and walked about. Bulma and Vegeta went off on their own. Bra followed alongside her brother and was introduced to a few clients before she ventured off on her own to take a look at the competition.

She saw a banner with a familiar logo on it with the name Rei Technologies. She knew them to be another type of multi-billion-dollar company specializing in computer parts that Capsule Corp used at their facilities for some of their computers.

"Bra." She turned her head in the direction of a male voice. Her eyes darted around the crowd for a familiar face when she spotted Kenzo approaching.

"Oh, hey you. I didn't know you were here already." She said as he gave her a side hug.

"Did you check out our area? What do you think of all of this?" He stretched out his arms to point to the entire convention.

"I think we look pretty good on our end. I was finally able to pull away from my brother and was going to have a look around the other booths. Did you see anything special out here?" She asked as they began walking slowly and glancing at the booths along the way.

"Well, I haven't been able to scope out everything just yet. There are so many companies here. But what I have seen is nothing in comparison to Capsule Corp."

"Good. Let's keep it that way." She said as she grabbed a flute of red wine from a nearby server. The woman looked at Kenzo, eyeing him flirtatiously and practically shoving the tray of wine in front of him.

"No thank you. I've got to keep my eye on this one here. Thanks." He quickly wrapped an arm around Bra's shoulders and yanked her closer to him as the wine moved around in the cup, beckoning to spill over on to her white dress. She quickly dodged it as the server whipped her hair and sauntered away disappointed.

"Kenzo!" Bra burst with her arm stretched out and her torso tucked inwards in the opposite direction.

"Oh, my apologies." He said, taking the glass from her. "Did it get on you?"

"No, I don't think so. Do you see anything?" She asked as she looked down at her dress.

"No, but may I say, you're looking absolutely flawless in your outfit." He complimented as if without a shadow of a doubt. His eyes took in every detail of her appearance.

"Thank you. So do you." She said, grabbing the drink back from him.

"There is one thing I do notice though." He said with a slight displeased look on his face.

"What?" She said looking down and around at her outfit again.

"My guess is that you're not wearing anything underneath again, aren't you?" He whispered in her ear. Bra's mouth fell agape with sarcasm.

"There's a high possibility of that." She teased. It no longer bothered her when Kenzo made little comments of advances towards her. She had similar relationships like this one in the past, although none as close to proximity to her as her assistant.

"Ken?" The sound of another woman's voice called out to him, breaking their current mood. Their heads turned forward, noticing two different views.

A dainty woman with maroon hair was approaching them. Her eyes were a light greenish blue, porcelain light skin and a heavy red lip. Her hair and makeup was flawless. She was donned in a gray laced dress and black heels. Her arms spread wide open, invitingly, as she headed towards Kenzo.

Bra's eyes dismissed the woman and quickly darted when she noticed the man walking next to her, it was Goten. She didn't bother to care who the woman was as she was too perplexed by who she was seeing. She swallowed dryly and her mouth hung opened slightly, heart beating nervously. Onyx eyes looked at her with chagrin.

"Goten."

"Rei"

They both mouthed quietly in sync, frozen where they stood. Rei hugged Kenzo like an old friend. Squeezing him with a giant smile on her face. When she let go she looked over at Bra surprised.

"Bra is that you? Wow, it's been so long how've you been." She said cheerfully and gave her the same kind of hug in return.

"You look gorgeous!" She said as she held her at arms length and continued looking at Bra.

Goten stood silently with no formalities, watching Bra.

"Thank you. Rei, was it?" Bra asked looking at her. She looked slightly familiar but couldn't put the pieces together.

"I guess it has been a few years, it's me, Kirei." She said brightly.

"You know, daughter of Rei Technologies, where Goten's been working at for a few years now." She said, pointing behind her to him.

"Oh. Yes. Of course." Bra said blankly as her eyes locked with Goten's, setting the fire in her to a blaze. He continued looking at her then at Kenzo, obviously bothered by something. She was starting to feel like she was caught guilty of cheating. Why did she feel like being seen with Kenzo by her ex-boyfriend was so wrong?
