"The Neighbors"

I used some verbiage that popped up in my reviews. I hope that's okay with you all.

And I have to say, if you like this chapter and you want to tell me, that's great and if you don't like this chapter and you want to tell me, it's your prerogative to do so. I can't make you like this story but I'm hoping that you do…

I knew I wanted the last chapter to end the way it did and I'm glad it got the reaction that it did too. Sooo, hold on to something or someone and let's see what happens when the exit door crashes open with a bang…

Chapter 15: You Are My Person

Josh POV

Meanwhile in the club…

Ryan and I ask around trying to find our wives. One of The Gallery employees tells us she saw Emily running to the back of the club with Maya right behind her. I look around and notice an exit sign.

"Come on Ryan, let's go!"

"I'm right behind you!"

We run to the back of the club following the signs.

"There's the door and it's not shut tightly! Let's go!" I yell.

We rush over to it. I get there first pushing it open. The door swings away from me crashing against the wall with a bang and there in the alleyway we see…

"Fuck!"

"Josh, there's no one out here. I told you they probably took the train home already."

"Call her Ryan. Call her right now!"

"Emily? Why?"

"Just call her and see if she answers!"

"All right. Relax."

"Don't tell me to relax. Just do it!"

"It went straight to voice mail. She probably had it on silent for the art show. It's over Josh, let's go home."

Emily POV

Meanwhile in front of the Club…

Maya has her arms wrapped around my neck and I have my hands on her hips while laughing hysterically.

"That door scared the shit out of me!" laughs Maya.

"I know. I think my heart leapt right into your chest."

Our laughter subsides as Maya lovingly replies, "Don't worry Em I'll take care of it for you."

Maya pulls herself up to me, closes her eyes pressing her lips against mine. I hold Maya's body against me intensifying the kiss until the taxi we are waiting for beeps pulling us out of our intimate moment…

We climb into the cab and the driver asks, "Where to ladies?"

"The Carlyle Apartments…"

"No problem. I know exactly where that is," the cab driver interrupts.

"So, what exactly are the Carlyle Apartments?" I ask not really caring about the answer because I just want to be with Maya as I snuggle up as close to her as I can possibly get.

"That's where Ted's penthouse is, I thought we could head over there to talk, if that's what you want to do," she says holding me closer to her. Not really but I think we have to.

"Can we stop at The Gallery first so I can get my things?"

"I think you'll be fine without them," she says placing her hand under my chin bringing me to be eye level with her. If I don't have my things then I'll be nak…Oh.

She looks at me as if to ask permission and she knows she has it as she does what I wanted her to do when she had me pinned up against the wall in the alleyway. Her lips caress mine gently and when she's sure I'm with her, she presses them firmly onto mine. My hands move up and down her back while her hand moves up my bare thigh closer and closer to that place I want her to be. Our mouths open, our lips remain attached and our tongues press against each other's like they are finally able to be with whom they are supposed to be with. Maya's hand squeezes my thigh making me let out a suppressed moan. Her mouth kisses along my jawline to my earlobe to my neck, nibbling softly then more aggressively. She's leaving her mark like she likes to do. I feel like we are being watched and I see that we are as our cab driver adjusts his mirror for a better view. But I don't care, because for me, Maya is endgame…

Josh POV

On the Train…

"Josh, seriously, they're going to be at home in bed."

"Yeah I know…at home in bed with each other!"

"Stop saying that. It's not true."

"So I'm just imagining it."

"Maybe you are. Maybe your marriage isn't as great as you made it out to be. Maybe you're the one looking for an excuse to get out!"

"What? Are you fucking crazy? I love Maya so much. I would give my life for her."

"Well then, how about giving her the benefit of the doubt."

"Why are you being so reasonable about all of this?"

"Because I love my wife and I'm going to talk to her about what's going on and I'm going to ask her point blank if there's anything I should be worried about."

"Are you sure you're prepared to hear her answer?"

"I already know the answer so yeah I'm prepared."

"I don't know if I can be as calm as you."

"Well you better be because you don't want to do something you'll regret. I suggest you have one drink to simmer yourself down. And I'm warning you Josh, if I hear any kind of yelling, I'll be over there doing whatever I have to do to protect Maya. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Yeah. Yeah I do."

Emily POV

Back in the Taxi…

"Ahem, we're here. Ahem," the cab driver attempts to get our attention.

We pull away breathless. Maya kisses me on the lips as she tosses the driver his fare and steps out of the cab. She holds out her hand for me to take so she can help me get out. The cab pulls away while Maya pulls me in close to her. She captures my lips right out in the open for anyone to see. My adrenaline kicks in as I almost knock her backwards trying to get as close to her body as I can. She stumbles a bit forcing our mouths to part and she says,

"Heyyy, Slow down. We've got all night to get to know each other, to get to know all of each other."

I bite my lower lip trying hard not to blush but, too late.

"You better stop doing that or I might just have you right where you stand."

I look down at the ground as she takes my hand leading me into the building, walking me to the elevators that will take us to Ted's penthouse. The excitement flows through my body as the elevator doors open and we step inside. Once the doors close, I lean against the back wall while Maya leans back against my front. I move her hair to the side before I put my arms around her holding her close kissing her exposed neck. She leans back into me a bit more giving me better access to her sexy slender neck. My teeth graze her skin pulling at it until I leave a mark of my own…

"Mmmm. You really are mine, aren't you," I say blissfully.

"I think I was yours from the moment I laid eyes on you," she responds with a sexy purr.

The elevator doors open before we can go any further with our love. She takes my hand once again leading me inside…

"I would give you a tour but ahhh, I'm kind of anxious to show you the upstairs," she whispers with a raspy growl and the hottest eye sex I've ever seen. I'm hers…

We walk slowly up the winding staircase with our fingers laced just the two of us existing at this moment. When we reach the top of the stairs she guides me through the romantically draped entry. My temperature is rising, my heart rate is increasing and my pulse is pounding as she brings me to the king size bed in the center of this massive room. She turns to me and says with sweet seductiveness in her voice,

"Oh Emily, I'm going to love you in ways you've never been loved before…"

Josh POV

At the Graysons…

"Well Maya and Emily's cars are still here. That's a good sign."

"Is it? They probably got a taxi to take them to the train station so they wouldn't have to leave their cars overnight," I suggest feeling the fury coming back.

"Let's go inside and see if they're here before we go there."

"Fine."

We walk into my house. The lights are low so I turn them on to look for her. I call out,

"Maya! Maya! Are you home?"

"Maybe she's sleeping, after all; it was a big night for her."

I walk over to the bottom of the stairs and yell,

"Hey Maya are you fucking Ryan's wife right now?"

"Jesus Josh! Shut the fuck up! Just go upstairs and look."

I walk up the stairs not sure of what I will find but pretty sure. I push open the bedroom door and there I see our bed made and no Maya. No Emily.

"No one is up here," I yell down to Ryan.

"Okay, I'm going to see if they're at our house."

"Wait! I'm coming with you."

"No, you're staying here and I'll come back and let you know if they're there. You need that drink. Pour me one too."

Ryan goes next door to see if Maya and Emily chose to fuck each other at his house. I make myself a drink and head into our living room. I sit on the couch but when I do I feel something underneath me. I move to the side and find Maya's cell phone. That's why she didn't call me back. But that doesn't explain where she is now. I touch the screen, the battery is low but I can still enter the password. What the fuck! Invalid password! She changed her password! That means she really does have something to hide!

"Hey, Josh, no one's over there and the bed is made but I did notice that one of Emily's overnight bags is missing. I bet she stayed at a hotel in the city since it's so late."

"Think what you want Ryan. But deep down inside you know she's with Maya and I found her cell phone on the couch."

"See, I knew there was a simple explanation as to why she didn't call you."

"Yeah, well then why did she change her password? Do you have an answer for that too?"

"I change my password all the time."

"Maybe you do but Maya has had the same password since we got married. You and Emily move in next door and she suddenly has the need to change her password? Something's up that she doesn't want me to know about. I'm going to figure it out Ryan, with or without your help…"

Emily POV

Back at the Penthouse…

"Maya…"

"Emily…"

"I thought we were going to talk, you know, about everything?"

"Hmm. I don't think you really want to talk, do you?" she asks while taking my hair between her fingers gliding them down to their ends like she always does making me shiver. She steps closer to me. She wraps her arms around my neck. I know what I want. I know I want Maya. I know I love Maya but, but…

"Maya, I, I…"

"Shhh baby."

She looks directly into my eyes for some sort of sign to let her know it's okay to continue and I think I give it to her as she goes on to say,

"I choose you. I love you. You, Emily, are my person. You are my truth. You are my future."

"Oh Maya, I love you too. So, so much, I can't even imagine not having you in my life. You, Maya, are my person too. You are my truth. You are my future."

I wrap my arms around her as she tightens her hold around my neck bringing her closer to me. I smile that smile only she can make me smile just before I kiss her lips softly yet passionately. We pull away slightly just so we can breathe and I say to Maya what I've been wanting to say to her since I met her,

"Maya, please, make love to me…"

She drops her arms to her side taking my hands in hers as she brings me closer to the bed. She kicks off her heels as do I. I reach for her buttons and slowly remove them one at a time, her chest rising higher and higher with each button undone. I open her shirt taking a long look at her beauty as I slide her blouse from her shoulders to her elbows to her fingertips releasing it to the floor. I lick my lips making her blush just a bit and then I bite her lower lip making me moist for her. My hand finds the back of her neck pulling her to my lips sealing them against mine. I place my other hand on her waist pressing her body onto mine. I feel her hands attempting to unbelt me. Only Maya's perseverance could remove that and she does bringing me to smile against her lips. In just one zip my dress will be on the floor leaving me topless with only my black lace panties covering me. This time, she will see me in the nude, not to paint but to love. I, too, will see her unclothed, not on a canvas but on a bed to love.

The two of us, our bodies entwined making love to each other for the very first time…
