Coming out from the conference room, John lead Bob out to the main office area, and asked everyone for their attention. He announced that for the next little while they'd be seeing Bob, and his wife, around, because the city's online magazine, 'Views', was merging with the Lakeway Local. Some of the employees cheered and Bob made a brief introduction saying that he was excited to work with everyone and that he was interested in what the two companies could offer each other. He then said that he'd be ordering them lunch and that he specifically wanted to meet with the marketing department after everyone ate, so they could start getting ideas going. John had hoped to dine out with them, but was pleased to see that they were quick to engage with the staff. Carol, who was still standing near Molly, asked if there was a café they could sit and talk at, so she accepted the invitation and told John. He was nervous at first and wanted to go with her, but nodded anyway and gave her his company credit card to pay for the taxi, as well as anything they ordered.
Molly took Carol to the coffee shop she and John always got breakfast at. The same barista from the morning greeted her and made a joke about her not being able to stay away. She got herself the caramel latte she loved so much and a carrot muffin, as well as a cappuccino and banana loaf that Carol chose for herself. They made their way over to a corner table and got themselves comfortable.
"You're probably wondering why I took you away from the office."
Molly looked over her cup at the woman and shook her head slightly to be polite.
"Bob and I are getting old and we weren't sure if we actually wanted to buy out or try to sell." Carol explained, "Bob was a professional photographer who turned to journalism, and because I was in the spotlight for a bit, when I danced, I was always able to get the gossip and find interesting people for interviews. We took off and then switched to online when we realized people didn't stop to pick up physical copies as much anymore. It seems a bit odd to me that we're going back to it now after all this time!"
Feeling hesitant to respond, Molly stayed quiet.
"The thing is, Lakeway seems fairly successful, and hopefully things will go well, but I'm going to be honest when I tell you this... we're looking to retire. And if business is good, then that's even better, but we're also trying to rid ourselves of a burden if it becomes unsuccessful. Part of the contract will be that after the full merge, despite us buying, everything will fall under your CEO's name. Dennis Hatcheson is very business oriented and was very happy to accept the role. It's sort of like a rent-to-own type situation for him."
Molly looked at her hard.
"Are you telling me this so that Johnny and I have a chance to jump ship or something?"
Carol took a sip from her cappuccino in a dainty fashion and wiped her mouth with a napkin after, even though there was no foam on her lips.
"I was hoping it wouldn't come across so negatively, but I suppose that's a good way to sum it up." She paused. "He mentioned earlier that you'd be willing to bridge the gap between the city and the town, perhaps you could do what I did with your connections. Do you still talk with your ex?"
With a sigh, Molly explained she was going to the city to do his makeup for a music gig and hoped it would be their last interaction. She told Carol how John showed his jealousy and became a bit overbearing by their interaction, so she didn't expect, or want, there to be much more contact with Julien.
The woman smiled knowingly at Molly. "All good men should be possessive. Bob also had a terrible time with my connections. I used to be just as cute as you were, my dear."
Molly believed her to be much better looking than herself, but thanked her anyway.
"Should I tell Johnny what we talked about?"
Carol nodded. "If you marry a man, you shouldn't keep secrets from him." Then she took a piece from the banana loaf and told Molly not to worry. She invited them to come for a dinner on one of the evenings they'd be in the city, out of common courtesy, stressing it was only if they had the time, saying they should start to head back to be with their men.
Despite being told not to worry, and to not keep things from John, Molly wasn't sure how she'd broach what was discussed.
Keeping secrets from a husband does seem wrong, but maybe pretend husbands can take a little more time, she thought.
Once they returned, she went to her far away located office and waited for John to return. He, Dennis, and the buyer-couple had a meeting and things were signed. Finally, things were completed, and the CEO also met with Donna and Emily to apologize for Kent's behavior in the morning. When John and Molly were leaving for the evening Fred looked very serious.
"Hey, John, we don't always get along, but what you did today was a good thing."
John nodded without a word and kept walking.
"That man has been an accident waiting to happen for a long time and I'm glad you stopped him from hurting the women 'round here." Fred continued with a raised voice so that John would hear his words and know they were genuine.
"I didn't do anything that anyone else wouldn't have. Thanks for helping out up there as well." He told the security guard who gave a half hearted smile and a wave to Molly as well.
"So, earlier in our meeting today-" John started saying, after getting into the car, and was cut off by Molly.
"When we were married?" She laughed.
"Yes." He smirked. "Anyway, were you serious that you can't drive?"
She bit her bottom lip out of embarrassment and tried to look innocent while nodding.
"Are you serious? Do you want to learn?" He asked.
She thought about it and flashed her bedroom eyes at him. "Are you going to teach me the way you showed me what s*x is like?"
He groaned at her and gave the car a little more gas as if he was in a rush.
"You're still learning that, I think you'll get another lesson as soon as we get home."
Molly made an excited squeal and closed her legs tight for the rest of the drive.
John parked in his usual spot in the driveway and got out quickly with Molly trailing closely behind him. As soon as the door was shut, he descended rough sensual kisses upon her, making her moan and grab onto him. He pulled away and practically tore off his coat and shoes. She did the same and he started hauling her away upstairs.
"My room is closer!" She told him, but he picked her up and continued on his path.
"I wouldn't let my wife sleep in the guest room." He grinned.
"Oh I see, consummating the wedding are we?" She asked sarcastically.
He laid her down and eagerly started pulling off her clothing. He ran his hands up her thighs and she took off her top. Flipping her onto her belly, he grabbed her ass harshly and then started to strip as well.
"A little of both. Consummation and something new to you." He told her.
John was already very hard and started rubbing his length between her legs and bum cheeks after getting up and on top of her. She shivered with delight and he pulled her up from the bed so that she was on her knees, while still facing down. Sliding himself in, he groaned and she felt him go further than he ever had before.
"You're so deep." She gasped and he started to move.
"I'm at a vantage point right now."
He started going faster and she clutched the pillows under her which made him get even more turned on.
"Am I hurting you?"
"No." She said between moans, "Yes."
He slowed down and pulled out just to plunge right back in again.
"In a bad way?"
"No!" She nearly screamed as he stuck himself in. "Be rough, I want to feel everything."
John held her hips and growled as she let her face fall into the pillows and braced herself as the sign for him to be as brutal as he wanted. He continued thrusting and sometimes grabbing at her body to satisfy her as well. He reached under her and pulsed this fingers against her clit while still rhythmically pleasing himself. Molly jerked and quivered under his touch and he grunted while letting himself fill her with his c*m. Pressing himself in as far as he could, John migrated his hands to her breasts and pinched at her erected n*****s. When he pulled out, he rolled her over onto her back again and sucked on one of the t**s he had just been toying with. Molly yipped and moaned while squirming in place. John moved to the other breast and she grabbed at a pillow again while her body momentarily went stiff.
"Did I just get you to c*m without even rubbing that sweet slit of yours?" John asked arrogantly.
She still had a glassy-eyed look as she moved her head in confirmation.
"Fuck... If I haven't said it before, I f*****g love how sensitive you are." He told her while laying down to finally catch his own breath.
She turned on her side to cuddle with him and he graciously pulled her close.
"So, did I make a good bride?"
John smiled as she looked up at him and stroked his chest.
"I should only be so lucky."
She kissed him so that he wanted more, but got up anyway, and made her way out of the covers.
"I have something to tell you."
"Okay...?" John said with his arm still reaching out for her on the bed.
"Wow!" She derailed herself, "I'm completely numb down there."
John snorted and wrinkled his forehead upwards. "Sorry, babe. I maybe let myself get carried away... Is that what you were going to tell me?"
Molly laughed and told him she'd go the the bathroom and then tell him when she came back. He got up and walked her over, feeling a little strange, but with an incredible amount of affection for her as she used the toilet with him still in the room.
"God, I love you so much, Molly."
"I love you too, baby."
Molly didn't want to ruin his good mood so she decided she would wait til a better time to tell him what she and Carol discussed.
He watched her inquisitively, waiting to hear what she wanted to say.
"Well..." She thought about her words and decided against it. "Emily has a big thing for you."
John rolled his eyes and made a face.
"Why should I care? That woman is a walking STD."
"STI." Molly corrected.
"Yes, sure, that." He laughed. "Is there a particular reason you're not just telling her that we're together?"
She looked into his eyes and got on her tip toes to wrap her arms around his neck. He acted instinctively by sliding his own arms around her waist in return, and made a low groan as she pressed her breasts onto him.
"Because it'll be so much more fun to watch everyone figure it out. I love a good slow burn."
John held her body tight to his own and asked if she was still feeling numb.
"It's starting to come back." She told him.
"Good." He replied, "I'm going to f**k you again tonight."
