“Shit! Lauren…. Damn, I can’t stop,” he groaned, gripping my hips as his thrusts sped up.

“I know, keep going. Fuck!” He pulled me up, placing my hands on the wall as he stroked the upper mound of my breast. My thighs spread wider as his other thumb circled my clit. I came apart at the sound of our flesh smacking. I felt the first hint of my orgasm coiling at my stomach, whimpering as he drove deeper.

“Ahhhh! Lauren!” he shouted, as he came inside of me. We stood out of breath, as his dick went limp and slid out as the water started to get cold.

“OMG! Yessss...Mmmmmm.”

“I need another shower after that,” he joked.

“That’s true and I’ll let you go alone first,” I turned to say, and he lifted my chin, kissing me deeply. I pulled back.

“That’s what got us here in the first place. Finish showering, I'm ready for bed,” I remarked, stepping out and grabbing a towel before I headed to Novah’s room to shower and change.

Chapter Twenty

Lauren

Two days later, it was the day of the party. I couldn’t relax from all of the nervousness about making sure everything went off without a hitch. My parents were dressed and at the hotel so Novah and I were getting ready to head out in the car to meet up with Danielle and Zoe after they called me earlier to check my progress. I had my hair slicked in a mermaid ponytail with the new Raven Spicy Red lipstick and body glow. April picked out a short spaghetti-strapped red dress and gold gladiator heels, with matching gold clutch. A car stopped in front of the Ocean View Hotel as a long line of people were posing on the carpet. The photographers were standing getting shots and interviewing Danielle and Zoe. Our door opened and Emmanuel held his hand out for me to take.

“Thanks.”

“Are you ready for this?” Emmanuel asked.

“Only time will tell. Is Dominic here?” I inquired.

Novah stepped out behind me and Emmanuel smiled at her. I shook my head at those two. Zoe spotted me and waved me over toward the interviewer.

“The lady of the hour is here,” Zoe said, hugging me.

“You look gorgeous, Zoe,” I replied.

“Thank you. I was surprised that Dominic let you out looking like this,” Zoe said, pointing to my outfit.

“He left before I got ready today.”

“Lauren, how are you feeling about the launch of the line?” the reporter asked, holding the microphone out to me.

“I feel great, this is an amazing opportunity for me. My family and friends are here to support me.” I gestured to Novah and my family taking pictures and walking inside. Danielle came over and I hugged her.

“Let's get some photos together,” Danielle suggested.

I nodded stepping back on the red carpet on the step, posing next to Danielle. They had servers standing outside with sample lipsticks for anyone that walked up to try on along with the body glow.

“Over here, Lauren, to the left, the side,” the photographers yelled.

We stood out there for fifteen minutes answering questions and talking about the line. Zoe shut it down when they started talking about the sex tape and article.

“That’s enough, guys, if you have any more questions, you can email my office,” Zoe stated, walking next to us.

“This is so overwhelming,” I said.

“I expected that to happen, don’t let them get to you. Tonight’s all about a new beginning,” Zoe informed me.

“I agree with Zoe, you look stunning and already the online orders are coming in and we sold a million lipsticks in twenty minutes. Obviously, what we're doing is working,” Danielle stated.

Looking around, the place was beautifully decorated. “I love the hanging lights, Zoe,” I commented. There were low hanging lights and a big poster of the beach shoot in the background. I felt my phone vibrate, so I removed it out of my clutch and saw a message from Dominic.

Dominic: Meet me upstairs.
