Guest1/Guest2 – After everything she's been through, you know Paige is going to stand up to her dad. She's tired of being manipulated
Guest3 – Hahahaha, no need to hunt me down! After their first kiss I'm pretty sure nothing will get in the way of Paige and Emily
Guest4 – lol, I needed to work a bit to answer you back…but here goes: Estoy muy contento de que aún te podría sorprender después de tantos capítulos. Me siento muy honrado que se tomaron el tiempo para leerlo . Realmente significa mucho! Gracias!
Trinitydower/Guest5/shadedgrey15/Camy – Thank you as always! Guest 5, You just made me rock out to that song silently in my head
Amalia– your comment is absolutely amazing and seriously means a lot to me.
Shamika . grandberry/Guest6/Guest7 /cam/lea/Guest8/Ep– Paige definitely grows a pair! Unfortunately, this is the last chapter and I didn't honestly didn't have any sequels in mind for this story. I'll explain in my side note
Thecatfromaliceinwonderland/Tommy88/izzawesome - It has been an absolutely pleasure PMing with you guys!
On a side note, as you guys might have noticed this is will be the last chapter. I know I know, I should have been more blunt about it in the previous chapter…but I didn't want to give anything away. I want to thank everyone who followed the story and especially reviewed on it! I didn't think it was going to get the attraction it did, but it meant so much to me of how connected some people felt with the storyline; it means more than I can express in words.
Now, I know a lot of you wanted me to continue with the storyline but my intention for this story was writing about Paige finally coming to terms with her feelings over Emily and how she stands up to her family for the sake of her own happiness. IF I did write more chapters, it would have just been filler chapters for the sake of writing rather than writing something that comes from the heart.
With that being said, I really hope I did this story justice and hope you have enjoyed! Feel free to PM me anytime!

"Good work today Mark. Thought Patrick was going to force our hand and have us give him those numbers and by this evening" the brawly man stated as he stood up to gather his paperwork.
"Well I overheard him earlier today in the pantry that he was leaving early to go this daughter's recital" the younger associate stated as he made his way toward the conference room exit. "I was ready to call bullshit on his request".
Letting out a deep breath, Mr. McCullers followed suit before hearing his secretary call from behind.
"Mr. McCullers. Sorry for interrupting, but we have a situation in conference room C. Associates from JP Morgan are here forcing us to terminate our contract with them. Eric is failing miserably at trying to hold on" the middle aged woman said in a panic.
"Get my daughter on the phone" Mr. McCullers forcefully said before heading toward the meeting.
"Sir, your daughter is with them" the petite brunette quietly stated.
The anger exhuming from the large man's eyes manage to radiate through the entire office as he made his way toward the conference room. Slamming the door behind him, Mr. McCullers managed to startle everyone in the room; everyone except his own daughter.
Paige could feel the anger from her father, but was thankful she had her own built up rage to match his wrath.
"Whitney informed me your company is terminating your contract with us" Nick coldly started as he made his way toward the front of the conference room. "Why may I ask?"
"Our acquisition over NYCB was completed this past July. After analyzing our numbers we concluded it would be in our best interest to terminate our contract here with Marvel Technologies since we plan on in-housing our IT work going forward" Toby responded as he stood up to answer the man's question.
"We have a $4 million contact with you and you want us to just terminate it without fighting?" the man sternly asked.
"It's nothing personal" Mr. McCullers soon heard from over his shoulder. Knowing exactly who it was, the intimidating man turned around. "But we need to see what is in the best interest for us and our company". Paige watched as her father turned to face her square in the eye before she continued. "This isn't a negotiation. It's just business".
Standing up to exit the conference room, Paige soon heard "Paige, in my office". Paige turned to face Toby; giving him the nod she'll be okay. The auburn girl was too angry to be scared. She had to take control of the situation. Following her father out of the conference room, Paige entered his office as she closed the door behind her. Feeling the anger radiate off her father, Paige calmly took a seat as she folded her legs in preparation for the heated argument about to be brewed.
"What the hell was that?" the grey haired man sternly asked as he slammed his paperwork down. "You just cost my company a $4 million deal!"
"Well I saved my company $4 million. So I think I did pretty well" Paige stated calmly.
"Excuse me?" Mr. McCullers asked. "What did you say?"
"I wouldn't be sitting here if I wasn't your daughter. Businesses terminate contracts all the time." Paige sternly stated as she stood up. "Come to think of it, we wouldn't even be in this situation if it wasn't for me".
Turning around to face his daughter, Nick harshly responded. "Now you listen-"
"No, it's your turn to listen" Paige interrupted. "I presented your company to my firm to help both our parties, but now since this is technically my responsibility, I decided to tell you about the termination of our contract in person".
"Do you understand-" Mr. McCullers began again before Paige interrupted him once again.
"It's business! Termination of contracts happens. It's nothing personal dad, but it's not like we ever intertwine our personal lives with business right?" Paige stated as she looked her father in the eyes.
"Oh, I see what this is about" Nick stated as he took a seat. "You're mad about that blind date I set up for you".
"I'm not mad" Paige simply responded. "I actually wanted to thank you and mom for setting it up for me".
Scrunching his eyebrows, Mr. McCullers was confused of the situation. "Derek told me his daughter didn't think you guys were compatible".
"We're not" Paige answered with a smile. "Do you think you can just take control of my personal life and interfere with my business life and I'd just sit back?"
"What did you do?" Mr. McCullers forcefully asked as she leaned back in his seat.
"I did what I should have done years ago" Paige answered as she stood up. "I want to look you straight in the eyes when I say this, because I'm only going to say this once. I am ashamed to be your daughter. Not because of what I've done, but because of who you are. You walk around in our community as though you are God's gift to mankind-" Paige started before being interrupted by her father.
"Paige" Mr. McCullers screamed as he stood up.
"But you are just a coward. You look down on everyone who is not part of your community or live up to your own expectations because what? We're 'different'?" Paige continued.
"I'm warning you" the burly man stated.
"What kind of God refuses to love a person because of their religion or skin color? Paige asked.
"Paige!" Mr. McCullers shouted again.
"I'm in love with Emily Fields. You know, the girl you met at your anniversary party. And not you or mom have say in anything I do anymore. You think I care about your opinion of me? Everything I've done has been for you! To help your image in your community. Where I went to school. Where I work. How I act at our events. But I don't care! The only reason why anyone knows anything about my life is because of you! You are the one who tells everyone everything to pretend you're this perfect person. Therefore I don't care what you decide to tell people about me and Emily. I am sure as hell not breaking up with her because you said so. I don't care if you don't want me to join our functions or helping our community. I don't want to be part of something like that. Something that believes they are higher or better than someone else. I've been hiding for so long and it has been eating me inside because of the disgrace I thought I would give you, but that doesn't matter. I don't want to marry for the sake of our family. I want to love someone and feel that in return. If you can't accept that, that is absolutely fine. I am a grown woman and ready to move on from your shadow" Paige tearfully but forcefully stated.
Staring into his daughter's eyes, Mr. McCullers felt the heat pounding in his ears as the blood vessels in his eyes began twitching. Balling his fists in anger, Nick had to control his anger. "I want you out of this office. I don't want to see you at my house or anywhere I go. I don't want to see you at family parties or temple. I don't want to speak to you or hear about you. I want you out" he sternly said.
"Well dad" Paige started as she made her way to the exit. "You don't own the family, and you don't own anyone in there. So if I want to see someone in the family or go to a family event, I will make my own decisions to do so. But I will gladly get out of your office and your home" she continued as she walked out of father's office for the last time. "I wish you the best of luck".

Opening her apartment door, the sudden aroma of chives surrounded Paige as a hint of cayenne tickled her nostrils. Confused of it at first, the site of the bronze beauty in her kitchen brought an instant smile to Paige's face as she closed the door behind her.
Kneeling down to the scratch Blue's neck as the lovable German shepherd came to greet her, Paige couldn't take her eyes off the brunette; but something seemed off. Slowly getting to her feet, Paige used the fact that Emily hasn't spotted her yet to her fullest advantage. Paige made her way toward the kitchen as she wrapped her arms securely around the brunette before placing a soft kiss on her neck.
Startled at first, Emily stopped chopping the onions as she placed her own hands on top of Paige's. "Hi" she seductively whispered.
"Hi back" Paige whispered into Emily's right ear before placing another kiss on her neck. "How you doing?"
Turning around to firmly place her hands around Paige's neck, she pulled the auburn girl into a heated kiss before answering. "Better now".
Licking her bottom lip to savor the taste of the brunette, Paige gazed into Emily's eyes as she saw some sadness in them. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, why would anything be wrong?" Emily responded as she turned back around to place the onions she just chopped around the half-moon shaped dough figures on the countertop before placing the tray in the oven. "Just making some cheddar chive turnovers".
Leaning back against the kitchen island, Paige grabbed a few flakes of cheddar cheese to place in her mouth before scrunching her eyebrows. "Really? Well everything smells amazing" Paige replied before grabbing Emily by the waist again to stop her from moving. "But I know something is wrong"
Looking down from Paige's glance, Emily found her hands roaming over the auburn girl's arms before looking into the girl's deep brown orbs. "It's just work. I just get so aggravated about it" Emily stated before pulling away from the girl. "But that's the last thing we should be talking about" Emily replied as she took out two glasses. "I want to talk about you" the brunette said with a smirk before placing a kiss on Paige's lips.
With a small smile crawling on Paige's lips, the auburn girl grabbed the two glasses from Emily and placed them on the counter. Without saying a word, she grabbed Emily's right hand and led her out of the kitchen. Closing the unused lights along the way, Paige dropped down the couch pulling Emily with her before engulfing the brunette into a hug. "You are what I want to talk about" Paige whispered against the beauty's temple. Grabbing the throw from the top of the couch, Paige felt Blue jump on the couch with them before she placed the blanket around them. "I want to know everything. About your day and evening. Whatever is bothering you. Whatever makes you happy. Everything and anything" Paige stated as she felt Emily nuzzle into her. Gently placing a kiss on Emily's forehead, Paige settled in perfectly awaiting the brunette to open up.
Feeling Paige's arms around her tightened, Emily couldn't help but feel content. Taking in a deep breath of the citrus smelling scent surrounding her, Emily spoke up. "It's not important" she whispered in Paige's neck.
"It is to me" Paige whispered back.
"Today I started the new client I was telling you about. I figured since the seniors were on it longer things would have been done. But literally nothing was and everything is due next week. And what the associates were actually able to do I need to redo because everything is just wrong" Emily finally revealed in one breath.
Smiling at how cute the brunette was, Paige clenched her jaw to stop herself from grinning widely. "Can you explain to the associates what they did wrong so they can learn to fix it for future purposes?"
"I guess" Emily answered as she played with the top buttons of Paige's shirt.
"And can you just grab one of them to start setting up templates for you while you familiarize yourself with historical years?" Paige continued.
"Ugh, and this is why I'll never be senior" Emily responded hiding her head within the croak of Paige's neck.
Holding onto the brunette even tighter, Paige whispered into Emily's hair. "You just need to show them that you can organize your workload when the moment counts"
"And that is why your already AVP of your team" Emily answered as she looked into Paige's eyes.
Leaning up to give the brunette a quick kiss, Paige tucked back a few strands of the beauty's hair before running her thumb across her lips. "I needed to learn that just like you do. That's how we step up in life".
As a smile crawled across Emily's lips, she felt instantly relieved. Leaning down to give the auburn girl another kiss before snuggling into the girl, Emily replied. "Thank you. So how was your day?"
Paige knew she would have to tell Emily exactly what happened between her and her father. But despite felling somewhat thrilled about the situation, Paige had a feeling Emily wouldn't share it with her. "Well I terminated a contract today which was basically the highlight of my day" Paige started.
"Is that a good thing?" Emily asked in concern. "I would think losing a client is pretty…aggressive for a company".
"Losing a client is never a good thing" Paige slowly began. "But terminating a contract to save your company money is"
Sitting up, Emily could feel the change in Paige's demeanor knowing there was something else. "What?" Emily coaxed the girl as she looked into Paige's deep brown eyes.
"It was my dad's company" Paige hesitantly answered.
Widening her eyes in disbelief, Emily pushed herself off of Paige; startling Blue. "What do you mean your dad's company?"
"I analyzed my company's records and concluded we'd save more money without Marvel Technology" Paige simply replied sitting up.
"And why did you decide to do this analysis now?" Emily asked angrily as she stood up.
"Em" Paige pleadingly stated as she looked to the floor.
"I thought you were going to talk to him, not provoke him" Emily continued as she combed back her hair with her right hand. "What were you thinking?"
"I was thinking about us!" Paige screamed out as she stood up.
"No! You were thinking how you could get back at your dad!" Emily forcefully responded. "I wanted you to talk to him about us but not at the risk of losing contact with him".
"Of course it's going to be a risk!" Paige yelled back. "It was a risk I finally took. Plus it shouldn't even have to be a risk! I'm his daughter!"
"You went to his job to terminate a contract. You're affecting way beyond your relationship" Emily shouted back.
"He went beyond our relationship when he stepped foot in my job" Paige shouted. "I've been working my ass off to get to where I am since college! I never had a life. After class I went to work then went home to start another day. Then I hear my father went into my job to ask my boss to set his daughter up with me? Are you kidding me? If Sarah didn't help me I'd still be a mess and my reputation would have been shot!"
"Ok, Ok" Emily said more calmly as she saw how worked up Paige became. Walking up to Paige, Emily grabbed her hands as she tried to make eye contact with the girl. Leading her backward toward the couch hand rest, the brunette situated herself between the auburn girl's legs as she grazed the girl's soft cheeks. "I don't want you to regret anything"
"I've been regretting listening to him since the day I saw you" Paige responded calmly as she finally looked into Emily's eyes. Wrapping her arms around the brunette to pull her closer, Paige continued. "I would never regret being with you".
"You say that now" Emily simply stated.
"No, I will never regret being with you. Maybe I will regret one day of not trying to work it out more with my dad, but he to know he's at fault too" Paige truthfully responded as she brought Emily toward her for a kiss.
Licking her bottom lip to savor the auburn girl's taste, Emily needed to ask one thing. "So Sarah helped you huh?"
"Yeah, she told her dad she didn't think we were a right fit. So I told him today that he needs to respect my personal life from here on out. We have a strictly professional relationship and I said I want to keep it that way" Paige answered naively not realizing where Emily was headed.
"So if she didn't know about me and you, she'd try to pursue you…huh?" Emily asked.
Arching her eyebrow, Paige couldn't help but smile at the tinge of jealousy Emily was sporting. "Em-"
"No, no. I'm not jealous. I'm just asking" Emily said nonchalantly.
"She does know about us and respects us" Paige answered.
"But she obviously likes you" Emily responded.
"Em-" Paige started.
"I knew it!" Emily responded trying to moving away from Paige's grip.
"Hey, are you forgetting I want to be with you?" Paige asked trying to get a hold of the brunette.
"I don't care" Emily spat out as she pushed herself off the auburn girl and headed for the kitchen. "Date whoever you want. Fuck whoever you want. See if I care" she continued as she took out the turnovers from the oven.
Not even trying to hide back her smile, Paige walked up behind the brunette before giving her a kiss on her neck. "I want to date you" Paige whispered as it sent shivers down the beauty's spine. Giving Emily a quick nibble on the ear, she continued. "And I want to fuck you and only you".
Forcing herself to physically move, Emily pushed her way out of Paige's grip once again before replying "right".
Pulling the brunette toward her yet again, Paige had no intention of letting her go as she crashed her lips into Emily. Feeling the brunette try to pull away again, Paige held on even tighter as she plunged her tongue between Emily's lips; quickly feeling the beauty finally reciprocate the kiss.
Paige could feel Emily intertwining her hands within her hair harshly as it only prompt Paige to kiss her as harshly while pushing the brunette toward the living room. Resting her forehead again the beauty, Paige caught the lust in Emily's eyes. "You think I want to be with other people?" Paige asked sternly out of breath. Paige was angry. Not at Emily for accusing her of wanting to be with someone else; she knew the brunette was jealous. She was angry for thinking of someone else touching the brunette.
With the rage soaring through her, Paige didn't let go of her eye contact with Emily as she ripped open the brunette's navy blue button up shirt before crashing their lips together once more.
Allowing the sudden gasp to leave her lips, Emily didn't break contact with Paige as she pulled off her shirt and in turn shove Paige against the closest wall. Traveling her heated kisses down the auburn girl's neck, Emily began loosening Paige's Kate Spade belt buckle. Grabbing hold of the girl's hands with her left hand, Emily pinned them above Paige's head. Without warning, Emily broke contact with Paige's skin as she gazed into the auburn girl's lustful eyes before shoving two fingers within Paige's pants and instantly between her wet folds as she watched Paige close her eyes and part her lips in mere pleasure.
Continuing watching every facial expression the auburn girl had, Emily was simply mesmerized as her thrusts became more and more forceful.
"Do you…fuckk…" Paige started hoarsely. "Do you like watching the people you fuck in pleasure?"
Immediately letting go of Paige, Emily took a step back as she watched Paige's eyes shot open. As a playful smirk danced across her lips, Emily slowly sucked her middle finger that was still covered in Paige's arousal as she kept Paige's heated gazed. "I just love to watch what I'm capable of doing to you".
Pushing herself off the wall, Paige swallowed to gain her composure as she began walking toward the brunette. Lowering her gaze as she saw Emily bite her lower lip before unbuttoning her pants, Paige froze for a second as she felt like her heart was beating out of her chest the second Emily kicked them off.
"Plan on watching me all night McCullers?" Emily asked before she watched as Paige walk toward her. Grabbing Emily's left arm, Paige pulled her back into a heated kiss.
Maneuvering over toward the stairs, Paige led Emily toward the middle of the stair case before breaking their kiss to slip off the brunette's green laced panties; standing in admiration at the bottom of the staircase.
Emily leaned back on her elbows, watching pure lust fill Paige's eyes.
Still standing slightly below the brunette, Paige forced herself to speak. "Yes, to answer your question. I do plan on watching you" the auburn girl seductively stated. Raising her gaze to meet Emily's, she continued. "Open your legs for me"
Immediately feeling shy and turned on at the same time, Emily slowly did as she was told; slowly spreading her legs to the point they couldn't open anymore.
Paige clenched her jaw as she could clearly see how wet the brunette was. Emily's arousal was leaking down her inner thighs causing Paige to take in a deep breath. "I want to watch you touch yourself"
Arching her eyebrow at the request, Emily obliged. Slowly grazing her right fingers down her neck, Emily continued traveling them inside the left side of her lavender bra before pulling out her left breast and gently caressing her hard nipple; all while keeping her intense gaze on the auburn girl. Pinching her nipple slightly, Emily parted her lips in slight pain before continuing her trail downward.
"Let me know if you like what you see" Emily stated with pure desire in her voice as she grazed her fingers across her abdomen and continued down toward the inside of her left thigh.
The throbbing between her legs began getting unbearable. Gently rubbing her fingers a few times over her wet folds, Emily finally entered them in complete and utter pleasure; immediately throwing her head back.
Paige was in such a daze. Feeling her knees give out, Paige forced herself to lean against the wall. Seeing Emily easily slide two fingers in and out of herself, Paige knew she was about to enter a third finger by the mere ease at which they were sliding; gasping as the brunette did just that. It only took a few minutes before Paige watched as Emily's back arched; indicating her climax was a mere seconds away. Watching Emily gasp in pleasure as her eyes were shut, Paige felt as though she was going to faint when she finally saw Emily's arousal poured out from between her fingers.
Emily was in pure satisfaction as she felt her body stiffen, instantly feeling shivers radiate through her at what she just did. Slowly opening her eyes, Emily watched as Paige leisurely made her way up and between her legs, placing a gentle kiss across her lips.
"You are so beautiful" Paige simply whispered before placing another kiss on Emily's lips. Skimming her fingers along Emily's long legs, Paige lifted them to fit them around her waist before pulling Emily up as the pair headed toward the bedroom.
Gently placing Emily on the bed, Paige took off her shirt as she situated herself on top of the brunette. Looking down in pure admiration, Paige grazed her thumb across Emily's chin before pulling her into another heated make out session. Within minutes the auburn girl soon felt herself being flipped over as she watched a completely naked Emily on top of her.
"I love you" Emily clearly stated as she looked into Paige's deep brown eyes. "And it's because I love you that I need you to promise me something. Promise me one day you will at least try to reconcile with your dad. One day soon" Emily asked.
Watching as tears formed in the brunette's eyes, Paige gently wiped them away. "I promise you that I will reconcile with my family. After it sinks in for them that I'm madly in love with you and I have no intention of leaving you…I will talk with them" Paige promised.
Feeling a shaky smile spread across her lips, Emily simply stated, "Thank you".
Buckling her hips to flip them over, Paige found herself on top once again. Pulling the comforter over the both of them, Paige gave the brunette a heartfelt kiss before saying, "Thank you. Thank you for watching over me and seeing me right on my own terms". Pushing herself up with her left hand, Paige gently tucked a few stray strands of Emily's hair behind her ear before leaning in to give Emily a kiss on her neck. "And I want to show you how thankful I am".
Trailing her kisses from Emily's neck down between the woman's breast, Paige gently placed a kiss beneath each breast before approaching the bottom of the beauty's toned stomach. Hovering her bottom lip right above Emily's opening, Paige smiled as she felt the brunette's body react to her heated breath. Continuing placing wet kisses alongside the beauty's arousal, Paige began sucking on the skin that was still dripping with the woman's arousal from earlier. Leaning on her right arm, Paige sucked on her bottom lip as she caught Emily's lustful stare. Gently pushing open Emily's left leg with her left hand, Paige made sure held Emily's gaze as she leaned right in the center of Emily's arousal smirking a bit at her next move.
Darting her tongue out, Paige moved it diligently and sternly between Emily's wet folds in one swift motion feeling as Emily's reacted to sudden sensation. Nibbling gently right above the brunette's folds, Paige tugged Emily's right hip to force the beauty to turn on her stomach. Slightly biting Emily's right butt cheek, Paige couldn't help but smile as Emily flinched beneath her.
Placing kisses up Emily's spine, Paige leaned on her left arm as she trailed her right hand down and in front of Emily, right into Emily's wet folds; thrusting as hard as she could. Feeling Emily's hips move in accordance to her thrusts, Paige couldn't help but bite down on Emily's shoulder as the two continued. Sensing Emily's walls about to cave in, Paige picked up speed but huddled over Emily just as the brunette's climax came undone.
Gently kissing the back of Emily neck, Paige felt the brunette slightly turn as they snuggled into one another. Both girls had finally found where they wanted to be; together and each other's arms. Kissing the brunette on the forehead as she watched Emily catch her breath, Paige pulled her in closely. "I love you so much Emily Fields".
